Old Saint Paul’s

BOOK THE SECOND
125/210

It is the market of young lecturers, whom you may cheapen here at all rates and sizes.

It is the general mint of all famous lies, which are here, like the legends of Popery, first coined and stamped in the church.

All inventions are emptied here, and not a few pockets.

The best sign of the Temple in it is that it is the thieves' sanctuary, who rob more safely in a crowd than a wilderness, while every pillar is a bush to hide them.

It is the other expense of the day, after plays and taverns; and men have still some oaths to swear here.
