Atten. Why was there more of them than one?
Wise. O, yes, a great many, both Brothers and Sisters, and yet all of them the Children of a godly Parent, the more a great deal is the pity. Atten. Which of them therefore was it that died. Wise. The eldest, old in years, and old in sin; but the sinner that dies an hundred years old shall be accursed. Atten. Well, but what makes you think he is gone to Hell? Wise. His wicked life, and fearful death, specially since the Manner of his death was so corresponding with his life. Atten. Pray let me know the manner of his death, if your self did perfectly know it. Wise. I was there when he died: But I desire not to see another such man (while I live) die in such sort as he did. Atten. Pray therefore let me hear it. Wise. You say you have leisure and can stay, and therefore, if you please, we will discourse even orderly of him. First, we will begin with his Life, and then proceed to his Death: Because a relation of the first may the more affect you, when you shall hear of the second. |
