A winter-evening conference between neighbours in two parts.

The Argument of the first Con∣ference.

Sebastian visiting his Neighbour Philander, after a little time spent in Civil Salutati∣ons, is quickly prest by him to the too usual Entertainment of liberal Drinking: which Sebastian at first modestly and facetiously declines; but afterwards more directly shews the folly and unmanliness of it. He is then invited to Gaming, which he also excusing himself from, and giving his rea∣sons against: Philander complains of the difficulty of spending time without such di∣versions. Whereupon Sebastian represents to him sundry Entertainments of Time both more delightful and more profitable than the forementioned, amongst which, that of friendly and ingenuous Discourse: and from thence they are led on to debate about Reli∣gious Conference; the Ʋsefulness, Easiness, Prudence and Gentility of which are largely demonstrated: of which Philander being convinced, inquires the way of entring into it, of continuing and managing of it. In which being instructed by Sebastian, he resolves to put it in practice.
