Bishop Warburton once asked Quin, the actor, how it was, that his clerical brethren who had to speak of all things true — of things of most awful and tremendous interest to their hearers— were generally listened to with langour and indifference, while the mimitic professors of the stage, who spoke but of things fictitious, were heard with such absorbing delight. The .humorous player replied with more wit than truth — " My brethren are accustomed to speak of things fictitious as if they were real, fifci yosr brethren of things real, as if they were fictitious."
