Bum. _Nay_ Citt, _these Men have a Holy way of_ Language _too, as well as of_ Behaviour, _for all their_ Talk _is of_ Heaven, _and_ Heavenly things, _the_ Saints _and_ the New Jerusalem; _they deal mightily, in_ Expositions _upon the_ Viols, _and_ the Little Horn: _and then they are bitterly severe against_ Wicked Magistrates, _and those that_ Lord it over Gods Heritage. _They are_ in fine _a very_ Consciencious _sort of People_. _Citt._ Oh beyond question so they are: But this is still a Branch of the _same Conscience_. I have known indeed some people so Transported with this same _Talkative Holiness_, that it has been a kind of _Spiritual Salivation_ to 'um, they continue _spitting_ when they have not one drop of _Moisture_ left 'um in their _Bodies_. Bum. _Prethee_ Citt, _tell me in Honest_ English, _where shall a body finde the_ simple, _and the_ Religious Consciences _thou told'st me of_? Not many Religious Consciences. _Citt._ Why every man living has the _Former_ of 'um, but takes no notice on't: But for the _Latter_ sort, 'tis very scarce; and you shall find more of it perhaps in _one Jayle_, or in _one Hospital_, then in all the _Courts_ of _Christendom_. It is commonly _the Blessing of men in years_, in _sicknesse_, or _in adversity_. Bum. _Ah_ Citt, _that I were but as capable of Learning as thou art of Teaching! Pre'thee explain thy self a little upon the_ Conscience _of_ Profession _too_. A Conscience of Profession. _Citt._ Observe me what I say then, _Bumpkin_; There is a _Profession_, _Particular_, and _General_: _Particular_, as when _One Cavalier_ serves another in a _Duell_, he's oblig'd to't by the _Profession_ of a _Sword-man_, without Formalizing upon the _Cause_. There's a _Conscience_ of _Profession_ even among the _Banditi_ themselves. What is it but the _Profession_ of _Presbytery_, that makes the whole Party oppose _Episcopacy_; as the _Independents_ do _Presbytery_, the _Republicans_, _Monarchy_, and the like. Bum. _Now I thought that there might have been_ Conscience _of_ State, _as well as of_ Profession _in These Cases_. _Citt._ Thou sayst very well, _Bumpkin_, and so there is, and of _Profit_ too; and it was much the same Case too, throughout the Circle of our Late Revolutions, when we _Swore_ and _Vow'd_ from the _Oaths of Allegiance_, and _Canonical Obedience_, to the _Protestation_, the _Solemn League and Covenant_, the _Engagement_, the _Negative Oath_, the Oath of _Abjuration_, and so till we swore round, into the _Oath of Allegiance_ again. Bum. _What do you mean now by your =Generall Profession=?_ _Citt._ I mean the _Subordination_ of a _Partiall_ to a _Generall_, of a _Private Profession_ to a _Publick_; as thou seest in the Late Times, _Bumpkin_, how strictly the _Divided Reformers_ kept themselves to This Rule, so long as the _Common Enemy_ was upon his Legs. Bum. _But who do you mean by the =Common Enemy=?_
