On a Jesuite.
UPon the departure of a Gentleman of good Note at Lyons in France, a Jesuite stood by prompt∣ing the Gentleman to give to that Convent he belong'd to such a piece of Ground, and such a Manor, which the Gentleman consented to; the Son standing by, and fearing all would be given from him; said to the Jesuit I hope you will not have the Conscience to keep all this from me; yes, yes said the Jesuit, the will of the dead must be obeyed; say you so, Then Father shall I break the neckof this Jesuit down stairs? Do if thou wilt Son: Nay then says the Son the will of the dead must be obeyed the Jesuit hearing this, and seeing him in good earnest made but one step from the top of the Stairs to the bottom, to avoid the danger ensuing.
