every body thought he would have died then at which time his Nails turned bluish but upon his recovering himself which I believe was principally occasioned by the sight of his Lady who just then came into him his Nails never recovered their Colour but continued bluish till he died Now the Nails not returning to their Colour was as fatal a Symptom as could be I am sorry I have been forced to rake up the Ashes of the Dead but I having so often been charged with no less than the Murder of this Gentleman I have been forced to write the Case in my own vindication I am sure it was as much my Interest to preserve Mr. Turner as any one Man in England there not being one to whom I am more obliged than I was to him he having done me a great many singular pieces of Service and I am sure I would have gone as far and done as much to have saved his Life as any Man could have done for his Friend Before I conclude upon this Subject I shall presume to take notice of a thing which happened which was a kind of Preludium to his Death and for ought I know the Thoughts of it might deject his Spirits and have a fatal Influence upon him About April last Mr. Gadbury came to him and told him Mr. Turner you will die in the Countrey this Summer of a Surfeit of Drinking He received it with a Smile and said I die with Drinking who am the soberest Man in England that 's impossible In May he went to the Bath but before he went there he made his VVill and was observed to be more melancholy than usual He came back from the Bath very well and told some of his Friends that Mr. Gadbury was deceived Some time after he went to VVinchington and just as he was going one of his Friends bid him remember what Mr. Gadbury had said and beware of drinking he said he would As soon as he was taken ill I suppose remembring Mr. Gadbury's Words he told his Son that he should not recover CASE II.

How far he has overthrown my Hypothesis I leave to all impartial Judges For my part I don't think the Book worth a Reply He has taken a great deal of Pains to shew his Learning and Gentleman-like Education in his scurrilous Reflections upon me but considering the service his Book will do me I think I have no reason to be angry with him
