Bert. It fell out very happily that we brought a Flaggon of Wine from the last Town we were at, and a roasted Leg of Lamb, or else, for what I see here, he would not have given us so much as a Mouthful of Hay.

Con. Now the Servants are set down, let’s take Part of the Table with them, but so that we don’t incommode any Body.

Innk. I believe I may put it to your Score, that I have not a Guest to Day, nor any besides my own Family, and you good-for-nothing ones.

Con. Well, put it up to our Score, if it has not happened to you often.

Innk. Oftner than I would have it so.

Con. Well, don’t be uneasy; Christ lives, and he’ll never forsake his Servants.

Innk. I have heard you are call’d evangelical Men; but the Gospel forbids carrying about Satchels and Bread, but I see you have great Sleeves for Wallets, and you don’t only carry Bread, but Wine too, and Flesh also, and that of the best Sort.

Con. Take Part with us, if you please.

Innk. My Wine is Hog-Wash to it.

Con. Eat some of the Flesh, there is more than enough for us.

Innk. O happy Beggars!  My Wife has dress’d nothing to Day, but Coleworts and a little rusty Bacon.

Con. If you please, let us join our Stocks; it is all one to us what we eat.

Innk. Then why don’t you carry with you Coleworts and dead Wine?

Con. Because the People where we din’d to Day would needs force this upon us.

Innk. Did your Dinner cost you nothing?

Con. No.  Nay they thanked us, and when we came away gave us these Things to carry along with us.

Innk. From whence did you come?

Con. From Basil.

Innk. Whoo! what so far?

Con. Yes.

Innk. What Sort of Fellows are you that ramble about thus without Horses, Money, Servants, Arms, or Provisions?

Con. You see in us some Footsteps of the evangelical Life.

Innk. It seems to me to be the Life of Vagabonds, that stroll about with Budgets.

Con. Such Vagabonds the Apostles were, and such was the Lord Jesus himself.

Innk. Can you tell Fortunes?

Con. Nothing less.

Innk. How do you live then?

Con. By him, who hath promised.

Innk. Who is he?

Con. He that said, Take no Care, but all Things shall be added unto you.

Innk. He did so promise, but it was to them that seek the Kingdom of God.

Con. That we do with all our Might.

Innk. The Apostles were famous for Miracles; they heal’d the Sick, so that it is no Wonder how they liv’d every where, but you can do no such Thing.
