EUSEBIUS, GAMALIEL, ZEBED^EUS, 



MARTIUS, EUPOLIS, POLLIO. 



THERE met at Paris, in the house of Eupolis, *Euse- 

 bius, Zebedeeus, Gamaliel, Martius, all persons of 

 eminent quality, but of several dispositions. Eu- 

 polis himself was also present ; and while they were 

 feet in conference, Pollio came in to them from court ; 

 and as soon as he saw them, after his witty and plea 

 sant manner, he said, 



POLLIO. Here be four of you, I think, were able to 

 make a good world ; for you are as differing as the 

 four elements, and yet you are friends. As for Eu- 

 polis, because he is temperate, and without passion, 

 he may be the fifth essence. 



EUPOLIS. If we five, Pollio, make the great 

 world, you alone make the little ; because you pro 

 fess, and practise both, to refer all things to your 

 self. POLLIO. And what do they that practise it, and 

 profess it not ? EUPOLIS. They are the less hardy, 

 and the more dangerous. But come and sit down 



* Characters of the persons. Eusebius beareth the charac 

 ter of a moderate divine : Gamaliel of a protestant zealot : Ze-
