in this view , of those-who have gone before us , whose characters and talents have adorned crur communion and who cannot fail to become models to their successors . Your correspondent appears to admit , while he accounts for and
excuses the deficiency of " our venerable fathers / 1 upon this point . Of their " integrity" I think as highly as he can do , and that the } ' kept back nothing that was profitable , in their judgment . But 'their judgment I venture to think erroneous , often

— v No . ccxxxv . Courtly Wit . Francis T . discoursing one day familiarly with Castellanus , asked him if he was a gentleman . Sir , said Castellanus , you know that there were three in Noah ' s ark 5 I really cannot
inform you from which of those three I am descended . Bis reply pleased the king . Castellanus , in a funeral sermon -upon his good patron , Francis I . declared his hope that the King was gone directly to paradise . This gave great offence to the Sorbonne , which sent deputies to complain of it at court . But they were coldly received : and Mendoza , the King's steward , told them , that he knew his old master ' s temper better than they - , that he never could endure to remain long in any place ; and that if he went into purgatory , he only stopped there just to take a gill of wine , or so 5 in his passage . ¦ ^
