A Lady that was going to Mass, was interrupted by a Rustical Fellow that stood just in the Church Door, and hin∣dred her going in. She prayed him to make a little way, to which he gave h•r a Clownish Answer, which stirred up her Passion a little, and thin∣king it in vain to expect any Civility from him, she said, Sir, I perceive that the Mass for Clowns and Fools is over, so that you having no more business here had best be gone. Yes Madam, says he, drily, that is over, and that for Wh—'s is just now beginning; you ha• best make haste in, and put in for a share.
