Sinopsis
Excerpt from Infernal Conference Or, Dialogues of Devils on the Many Vices Which Abound, Vol. 2 of 2: In the Civil and Religious World
Accordingly when Squire Broadfield and me arrived in company to see the sport, there was the poor rascal, whose poverty was his principal crime, tied to the post and mangled with the cord, which the lusty beedle plied with nervous arm.
Oh how his worship and me did iaugh to see the'villain whose poverty was obstinate, leaping, as his lameness would let him, and writhing his bloody back, as the whip was lustily played about him by the sturdy beedle; who for h's part; would rob and steal and do any thing rather than be whipped by a trusty brother of the trade yea, would act ten thou. Sand villainies rather than die of hunger. This fellow must be a most incorrigible rogue to be sure, if he 18 not willing by this time either to steal and be hanged, or patiently to die of an empty belly.

Excerpt from Infernal Conference Or, Dialogues of Devils on the Many Vices Which Abound, Vol. 2 of 2: In the Civil and Religious World
Dr. Ringwood and Dr. Jowler, the celebrated tutors of his kennel. Their maxims he perfectly understands, and their virtues he has adopted; but five thousand a year you know, makes the study of the kennel truly classical.
Talk you of Orpheus to him his worship proposes the virtue of Ringwood to your consideration. Do you admire the ardour which flames in the Iliads; his worship says, no music like the voice of Jowler. Tell him of the majesty of Virgil, he'll bid you mind well the gait of his horse, what a majestic creature he is. An emperor, says he, might be proud to ride such another. Do you recommend the pleasures solid learning to him, he is in raptures about the diversions of the chace. As jet he hath avoided the yoke of matrimony; not that he was ever an admirer of continence, few gentlemen being more conversant with the fair sex than his worship.
He keeps in his house a wanton train of overfed servants, the superfluities of whose table would comfort the bowels of many indigent: besides a pack of hounds, which devour more than serves to maintain all the poor in the parish workhouse.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a work of philosophical satire, delves into the darker side of human nature, offering a provocative critique of societal hierarchies, religious hypocrisy, and the pursuit of worldly wealth and status. The author uses a unique and humorous framing device, imagining a dialogue among a group of devils, who are portrayed as shrewd observers of the human condition. Through their conversations, the devils dissect and expose the vices and foibles of various social groups, from the nobility to the clergy to the common people. The book's central theme is the corrupting influence of power and ambition, as seen through the lens of a society obsessed with appearances, wealth, and status. The devils expose the superficiality of these pursuits, arguing that true honor lies not in titles and possessions, but in character and moral integrity. The book also critiques the hypocrisy of religious institutions, emphasizing the ways in which religious leaders exploit the faith of the populace for personal gain. The author's satirical approach to these themes is both witty and thought-provoking. The book offers a sharp and incisive commentary on the human condition, challenging readers to examine their own values and motivations. It is a powerful reminder that true virtue can be found not in external appearances, but in the inner life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
