Sure Mushrooms and Stones must be the Hearers where there are such Preachers. _Liv._ Well, but it is even so as I tell you, nor do I speak only by hear say, but what I know to be true. _Ge._ Sure Men must needs be very wise there where _Betes_ and _Oaks_ are so. _Liv._ You are in the right on't. * * * * * _Of enquiring concerning Health._ _Ge._ Are you well? _Liv._ Look in my Face. _Ge._ Why do you not rather bid me cast your Water? Do you take me for a Doctor? I don't ask you if you are in Health, for your Face bespeaks you so to be; but I ask you how you like your own Condition? _Liv._ I am very well in my Body, but sick in my Mind. _Ge._ He's not well indeed that is sick in that Part. _Liv._ This is my Case, I'm well in my Body, but sick in my Pocket. |
