In which words, all these strange things were found out. First, there was a _Captain_ and a _Castle_. (Do you see. Sir, the same letter!) Then, there was an _ingress_, an _egress_; and a _regress_ or _reingress_. Then, there was _unroosting_ and _unresting_. Then, there were _number_ and _name, manner_ and _measure, trouble_ and _trial, resolution_ and _revolution, assaults_ and _assassination, voidness_ and _vacuity_. This was done at the same time, by the same man! But, to confess the truth of it! it was a good long Text; and so, he had the greater advantage. But for a short Text, that, certainly, was the greatest _break_ that ever was! which was occasioned from those words of _St. Luke_ xxiii. 28, "Weep not for me, weep for yourselves!" or as some read it, "but weep for yourselves!" It is a plain case, Sir! Here are but eight words; and the business was cunningly ordered, that there sprang out eight Parts. "Here are," says the Doctor, "eight Words, and eight Parts! "1. Weep not! 2. But weep! 3. Weep not, but weep! 4. Weep for me! 5. For yourselves! 6. For me, for yourselves! 7. Weep not for me! 8. But weep for yourselves! "That is to say, North, North-and-by-East, North-North-East, North-East and by North, North-East, North-East and by East, East-North-East, East and by North, East." Now, it seems not very easy to determine, who has obliged the world most; he that found out the Compass, or he that divided the fore-mentioned Text? But I suppose the cracks [_claps_] will go generally upon the Doctor's side! by reason what he did, was done by undoubted Art and absolute industry: but as for the other, the common report is that it was found out by mere foolish fortune. Well, let it go how it will! questionless, they will be both famous in their way, and honourably mentioned to posterity. Neither ought he to be altogether slighted, who taking that of _Genesis_ xlviii. 2 for his text; viz., "And one told JACOB, and said, 'Behold, thy son JOSEPH cometh unto thee!'" presently perceived, and made it out to his people, that his Text was "a spiritual Dial." "For," says he, "here be in my Text, twelve words, which do plainly represent the twelve hours. _And one told JACOB, and said, 'Thy son JOSEPH cometh unto thee!'_ And here is, besides, _Behold_, which is the Hand of the Dial, that turns and points at every word of the Text. _And one told JACOB, and said, 'Behold, thy son JOSEPH cometh unto thee!'_ For it is not said, _Behold JACOB!_ or _Behold JOSEPH!_ but it is, _And one told JACOB, and said, Behold, thy son JOSEPH cometh unto thee_. That it is say, Behold _And_, Behold _one_, Behold _told_, Behold _JACOB_. Again Behold _and_, Behold _said_, and also Behold _Behold_, &c. Which is the reason that this word _Behold_ is placed in the middle of the other twelve words, indifferently pointing to each word.
