Another, That in the Wars in Germany between the Swedes and them, there was so great a Frost one Winter, that Two Men desiring to talk with one another, and one was on one side of the River, and t'o∣ther on the other, and as they spoke one to another, the Frost was so great, that it froze up their words, which was not audible then, nor indeed (upon my reputation)
could not be heard till Nine days after, when it chanc'd to thaw: which one of the com∣pany hearing, said 'twas a brave Country to speak Treason in; for whatsoever a Man said, a Man could not be heard: Nay, the very lowings of the Bulls and Cows were froz'n up also, that the owners had much ado to find them to fodder them, for want of hearing them as formerly. Nay, by your favour, says another, there is another Country, which had as great a conveniency to speak Treason in as that had from 1648 to 1660; and there one might speak any sort of Treason, and was never call'd to an account for it: Nay, the more Treason they spoke, they were the better esteem'd; so that there was no need of a frost at that time in England for that use.
