<blockquote>I hear new news every day, and those ordinary rumours of war,
plagues, fires, inundations, thefts, murders, massacres, meteors, comets,
spectrums, prodigies, apparitions, of towns taken, cities besieged in France,
Germany, Turkey, Persia, Poland, &c., daily musters and preparations, and
such like, which these tempestuous times afford, battles fought, so many men
slain, monomachies, shipwrecks, piracies, and sea-fights, peace, leagues,
stratagems, and fresh alarms. A vast confusion of vows, wishes, actions,
edicts, petitions, lawsuits, pleas, laws, proclamations, complaints,
grievances, are daily brought to our ears. New books every day, pamphlets,
currantoes, stories, whole catalogues of volumes of all sorts, new paradoxes,
opinions, schisms, heresies, controversies in philosophy, religion, &c.
Now come tidings of weddings, maskings, mummeries, entertainments, jubilees,
embassies, tilts and tournaments, trophies, triumphs, revels, sports, plays:
then again, as in a new shifted scene, treasons, cheating tricks, robberies,
enormous villanies in all kinds, funerals, burials, deaths of Princes, new
discoveries, expeditions; now comical then tragical matters. To-day we hear of
new Lords and officers created, to-morrow of some great men deposed, and then
again of fresh honours conferred; one is let loose, another imprisoned; one
purchaseth, another breaketh: he thrives, his neighbour turns bankrupt; now
plenty, then again dearth and famine; one runs, another rides, wrangles,
laughs, weeps &c. Thus I daily hear, and such like, both private and
publick news. Amdist the gallantry and misery of the world: jollity, pride,
perplexities and cares, simplicity and villany; subtlety, knavery, candour and
integrity, mutually mixed and offering themselves, I rub on in a strictly
private life; as I have still lived, so I now continue, as I was from the
first, left to a solitary life, and mine own domestick discontents: saving that
sometimes, not to tell a lie, as Diogenes went into the city, and Democritus to
the haven, to see fashions, I did for my recreation now and then walk abroad,
look into the world, and could not choose but make some little observation, not
so wise an observer as a plain rehearser, not as they did to scoff or laugh at
all, but with a mixed passion.
