Albumazar _and_ Ptolomy _are set up like the two loggerheads at St._ Dunstan’_s church, and once in an hundred years they strike upon an huge bell the number of the centuries from the fall of_ Lucifer, _that the devils and the damn’d may know how eternity passes; for you must imagine, as a quarter of an hour is to the time of your world, so is an hundred years to the eternity of ours, every watch goes here at least ten thousand years with but one winding up, for their movements, like our form and substance, are all spiritual, and the worst artist we have among us, your_ Fleetstreet Tompion _is but a mere blacksmith to; as for my own part, I trudg’d for the first six months after Dr._ Ponteus, _with a steeple-crown’d conveniency, as I mentioned before, but having always such a stink of_ devil’s-dung _in my nostrils, I petitioned for a remove, and was admitted to be a yeoman of the bason to_ Lucifer’_s cloven-hoofs, to pick, wash, and refresh them after his return from earth, which he visits very often for the preservation of his interest in the upper world; and the worst inconveniency I find is, that his worship’s feet smell worse after much walking than a sweating negro’s_. _But, however, my old friend, let not this discourse discourage you from venturing to come among us, or frighten you into a repentance of your frauds and subtilties, that may carry you another way; for a man of your merits, learn’d in Astrology from the very nose of the_ great bear, _to the extreme point of the_ dragon’s tail, _and skilful in the Mathematicks, from the mensuration of a surface to the most profound nicety in solid Geometry, need not question, but that your old acquaintance and assistant_ Satan, _who has faithfully stood by you upon all occasions, will bestow some reputable post upon you, answerable to the gravity and skill of so understanding a wiseacre, to whom I subscribe my self a loving friend and brother_ Philomat.
