"What are you, sir? _Ananias._ Please you, a servant of the exiled brethren, That deal with widows' and with orphans' goods, And make a just account unto the saints: A deacon. _Subtle._ O, you are sent from Master Wholesome, Your teacher? _Ananias._ From Tribulation Wholesome, Our very zealous pastor." After accusing Ananias of being related to the "varlet that cozened the Apostles," Subtle meets Tribulation himself, the Amsterdam pastor, whom he treats with scant courtesy: "Nor shall you need to libel 'gainst the prelates, And shorten so your ears against the hearing Of the next wire-drawn grace. Nor of necessity Rail against plays, to please the alderman Whose daily custard you devour; nor lie With zealous rage till you are hoarse. Not one Of these so singular arts. Nor call yourselves By name of _Tribulation_, _Persecution_, _Restraint_, _Long-patience_, and such like, affected By the whole family or wood of you, Only for glory, and to catch the ear Of your disciple." To which hard thrust Tribulation meekly makes response: "Truly, sir, they are Ways that the godly brethren have invented For propagation of the glorious cause." Every word of this harangue of Subtle's would tell upon a sympathetic audience. So popular was the play itself, that a common street song was made out of it, the first verse of which we find Credulous singing in "The Ordinary:" "My name's not Tribulation, Nor holy Ananias; I was baptized in fashion, Our vicar did hold bias."[57] Act iv. sc. 1. This comedy appeared twenty years after "The Alchemist," and yet the song was still popular. Many a lad with a Puritan name must have had these rhymes flung into his teeth. _Tribulation_, by the way, is one of the names given in Camden's list, written four years later than Ben Jonson's play. This name, which has been the object of an antiquary's, a playwright's, a ballad-monger's and an historian's ridicule (for Macaulay had his fling at it), curiously enough I have not found in the registers. But its equivalent, _Lamentation_, occurs, as we have seen, in the "Chancery Suits" (1590-1600), in the case of _Lamentation Chapman_. _Restraint_ is met by _Abstinence_ Pougher, and _Persecution_ by _Trial_ Travis (C. S. P. 1619, June 7).
