ter, to the laſh of whoſe reſentment, you are as liable now as before.
Cool.) You need not multiply words on that head, for you are as ſafe with me, and ſafer, if ſafer can be, than when I was alive.
Ogil.] Well then Cool, let me have a peaceable and eaſy converſation with you for the time we ride together, and give me ſome information about the affairs of the other world, for no map inclines to loſe his time in converſing with the dead, without hearing or learning ſomething that is uſeful.
Cool.) Well, Sir, I will ſatisfy you as far as I think it proper and convenient: Let me know what information you want from me.
Ogil.] May I then aſk you, if you be in a fate of happineſs or not?
Cool.) There are a great many things I can anſwer, that the living are quite ignorant of: There are a great many things, that notwithſtanding my additional knowledge I have acquired ſince my death, I cannot anſwer; and there are a great many queſtions and things that you may ſtart, of which the laſt is one, that I will not anſwer.
Ogil.] Then I know not how to manage our converſation, for whatever I ſhall enquire of you, I ſee you can eaſily ſhift me, ſo that I might profit more by converſing by myſelf.
Cool.) You may try.
