The seventeenth-century puritan
preachers talked for two hours or
more, not "by the clock" but by the
hourglass. At least one Of them
turned the glass to humorous account.
He found himself no further than the
middle Of the sermon when the sands
had run out. Drunkenness" was his
subject, and. reversing the horologe,

Sir Roger L'Estrange tells Of parish
clerk who sat patiently until the
preacher was three-quarters through
his second glass, and the majority OF
his hearers had quietly left the church.
Rising at q convenient pause, he
asked the minister to close the church
door when he had done, and push
the key under it, as nc and the few
that remained were about to retire

everybody tired before the dinner be-

There was never a stop to the fellows

brought on he began: Now, it is
