_How we ought to congratulate one that is return'd from a Journey._
We are glad you are come well Home. It is a Pleasure that you are come Home safe. It is a Pleasure to us that you are come well Home. We congratulate your happy Return. We give God Thanks that you are come safe Home to us. The more uneasy we were at the Want of you, the more glad we are to see you again. We congratulate you and ourselves too that you are come Home to us alive and well. Your Return is the more pleasant by how much it was less expected. _Ans._ I am glad too that as I am well myself I find you so. I am very glad to find you in good Health. I should not have thought myself well come Home if I had not found you well; but now I think myself safe, in that I see you safe and in good Health. * * * * * _A Form of asking Questions at the first meeting._ The ARGUMENT. _This Colloquy teaches Forms of enquiring at the first meeting. Whence come you? What News bring you? How do you do? &c._ _GEORGE, LIVINUS._ _George._ Out of what Hen-Coop or Cave came you? |
