I purchase it. Meanwhile I have I happen to have saved up
a Purse of a couple of hundred pounds — Which A My
Neighbour would be glad to borrow it. I desire
to be excused, knowing he has not wherewithal
to pay — By and by he marries a Woman
with a Sum to her Fortune which which I know
to be much more than sufficient to answer such
a Demand — she dies — after that on some pretence or other he renews his Application — By
this Time I have perused the 1.st and part of the
2.d Volume of this celebrated Work — I there read in
so many Words that "a Man and his Wife are one
"person in Law" "that whatever personal property
"belonged to the Wife is by Marriage absolutely vested
"in the Husband" "to be disposed of at his Pleasure
"That a Man cannot grant any Thing to his Wife, or
"enter into Covenant with her" — (a point of Doctrine
which is even fortified by a Reason) "That all
"Compacts made between them when single are
"voided by the Intermarriage"
What can be more intelligible or explicit?
What need have I of for any further Advice?
