The Epitasis, wherein the action is more fully entered upon and heightened, till it arrives at its state or height called the Catastasis, and which usually takes up the 2d and 3d act, is included within that busy period of my tale, betwixt the first night's uproar about the nose, to the conclusion of the trumpeter's wife's lectures upon it in the middle of the grand parade: and from the first embarking of the learned in the dispute to the doctors finally sailing away, and leaving the Strasburgers upon the beach in distress, is the Catastasis or the ripening of the incidents and passions for their bursting forth in the fifth act.
The poor Strasburgers left upon the beach! What was to be done? No delay the uproar increased every one in disorder the city gates set open.
The Strasburgers are passionate walkers, and they have a good right to be so. Let one turn his steps as he will, he will find pleasure-grounds, partly natural, partly adorned by art in ancient and modern times, all of them visited and enjoyed by a cheerful, merry little people.

On Saturday Butzer and Capito delivered themselves of their commissions on behalf of the Swiss.

Alas! alas! cries Slawkenbergius, 'twas not the French, 'twas Curiosity pushed them open The French indeed, who are ever upon the catch, when they saw the Strasburgers, men, women and children, all marched out to follow the stranger's nose each man followed his own, and marched in.
How far that project was advanced by the length of time, I cannot say. Another subject on which the Protestant Strasburgers liked to converse was the expulsion of the Jesuits.
