Lavender, to be given to your Man Simeon, who
we understand, from the Doctor, has a Constitution
that will absorb them all, and as many more
as any lady would be at the trouble of

As to the Survivor of your unfortunate Pair,
Sam. feeling himself out of the reach of English
Laws, has looked into his mouth, in spight of
English Proverbs, and declares, that altho' there

Consideration of his Master, and of his Master's
name, which he bears with great meekness, &
without any of his Master's Vanity
All this while, in the name of wonderment, what
