For save a from the Gallows and he 'll cut your Throat But for all this I 'll burn the Scuffle if you 'll come hither and shake hands and tell the World when I am gone that you did abuse me but are sorry for it 'T is reported of St. K●therine That she sucked the invenom'd Wounds of a Fellow who had impudently wrong'd her I don't pretend to such flights as these but if you 'll come to the Boat and remember 't is the last Offer and own your Errors I 'll be more your Friend than ever I was your Enemy And though Pickance the Master of the Diamond waits for his Ships Crow yet if you 'll do me Justice I 'll return to Dublin a second time to drink your Health in the first place and another to honest Gun Servant Bently and the rest of our Learned Brethren and by coming thus to Confession you 'll cease being a Trouble to your Friends and a scandal to your self But if you will not repent as a wounded Roman said upon a set Challenge the Scuffle must appear and shall be followed if you dare answer it with the History of your Life from the hour the Parson Christen'd you to mark you me that the very hour you Christened your self and pray remember that one blot many times stains a whole Generation But my Scuffle is just and without your publick Repentance I resolve to Publish it for truly St. Patrick I have a greater Regard to my Honour than my Life And tho' my Arms should fail me to fight they are the words of this Noble Roman yet my Heart still encourages me to dye in Vindication of a good Name And so Patrick Farewel for you don't appear and our Ship is under Sail but if you repent at last and I 'll press you to it in the Dublin Scuffle I hope we shall meet in Heaven but scarce in Ireland whilst you are afraid of Dublin Decemb. 20th 1698. Iohn Dunton SIR ABout three hours after I had sent the aforegoing Message to Honest Thomas and my farewel Letter to Patrick he sends me by Order from Campbel the following Letter SIR I was with Mr. Campbel last Night and told him as you desired that you would meet him when and where he pleased c. His Answer was That he was ready to meet you at any time or place and that if you bring one Citizen with you he will bring another therefore if you please you may let 〈◊〉 know your Mind as to Time Place and Person and if this will any way contribute toward your Peace and Friendship it will be very satisfactory to Decemb. 20th 1698. Your Humble Servant Tho. Servant I no sooner receiv'd this Letter from Mr. Servant but I sent Mr. Robinson to him with the following Answer Mr. Servant SInce my writing a Note to you and my farewel Letter to Campbel I receiv'd yours intimating Mr. Campbel will now meet me I am glad to hear it with all my Heart and I do again resolve to meet him at the Keys in High-street at five in the Af●●●noon tho' he disappointed me once 〈◊〉 very Place and will only bring one Citizen with me for that 's enough with a good Cause but as for Patrick if he will he may bring forty or if he pleases the whole City Sir could you have thought that Campbel wou'd now have bantred me a second time but so it was for having a bad Cause he durst not appear as Mr. Fisher the Earl of Meath's Chaplain and Mr. ton the King'● Stationer can testifie However I thought it proper whilst on the Spot to send him the following Note viz. Mr. Campbel I Am now at the Keys and you send word you will not come though I came hither by your own appointment and this is the second time you had notice I was willing to Treat with you Sir I have given you liberty of bringing forty men or a whole City against my self and but one more and he too of your own Trade but I have other business to do than to wait long for an Enemy that dares not face me However I have several to Witness I came to meet you as you desired this Night and you refuse coming so that now I shall put my Debt into a Lawyer 's Hands and for your other Treatment the World shall know it for I 'll dance 〈◊〉 more after ye but will wait here 〈◊〉 Hour longer to prove my Charge 〈◊〉 give you Time to match Mr. Thornton I am Decemb. 20th 1698. Your abused Friend John Dunton SIR YOur Thoughts upon this New Parley Mr. Servants Mediation my Farewel Letter to Campbel and his refusing to meet this second Time though 't was an Appointment of his own making is earnestly desired by Your Humble Servant John Dunton Remarks on my Ninth Letter SIR I Have received yours with the Account of a New Parley offered by Patrick Mr. Servant ' s Mediation your Farewel Letter to him and of his disappointing you again though the Appointment was of his own making I must needs tell you that were you as much surfeited with the Scuffle as I am with hearing of it you would have given over long e're now I don't think it worth your while to buy Patrick's Confession at so dear a Rate as to take so much Pains for it If he were truly sensible of his fault you need not dun him to Repentance and how great soever his Hypoerisie may be in other Instances I don't find he has a mind to play the Hypocrite in this that is so much as to feign a Repentance You have I think over-done it in solliciting him so much nor do I think his Publick Confession considering how you have Characteriz'd him would be much for your Advantage To be commended or slander'd by a false Tongue is much the same thing for they that know a Liar will believe him in neither You have done well however to follow Peace as much as you could and it was Prudent to have so many Witnesses of your having kept your Appointment and made such fair Proff●rs of Reconciliation but I perceive Patrick's Resentments are become down-right Rancor and that the sore is so much Fester'd that there 's no hopes of Cure Take care that you your self don 't learn to be froward by conversing with the froward Be sure to keep a calm and ev'n Temper within your own Breast that you have not raging Waves to deal with within as well as without when you Cross the Main You have sufficiently prov'd him to be an ill Man and his declining to meet you and to offer what he could say in his own Defence seems to be a Tacit acknowledgment of the Guilt Nay I may say a direct proclaiming it on the House-Tops seeing he durst not refer the Trial of his Debt to his own Friend and refus'd to come to a hearing though so often and so publickly invited to it All I have more to adde is that you have

Patrick Campbell without either Sense or Coherence which runs thus Whereas it is Published by Mr. Richard Wilde in Mr. John Dunton 's Advertisement of the second of November That the Auction-Room was taken over his Head c. This indeed Mr. Wilde has not only Published but is ready to prove by several Witnesses as he has already done to Mr. Pue's Face To this Mr. Pue according to his usual Modesty answers That the Report is False and Malicious for Mr. Wilde is not the Person that did take the House Mr. Wilde never said he did nor had Dick wrong'd me if he had also added when his Hand was in nor Mr. Dunton neither for I took only the Auction-Room But this is either according to Dick's Vnderstanding or else one of Patrick's Jesuitical Equivocations to creep out at The Sense of which is That the Auction-Room was not taken over Mr. Wilde's Head because he is not the Person that took the House Now where the Coherence of this is he that knows can tell But though Mr. Wilde did not take the House yet Mr. Pue promis'd him the Refusal of the Auction-Room when my Auction was done which Dick has not only own'd but told Mr. Campbel as much To this Dick very wisely says nothing because he has nothing to the Purpose to say As to my self he tells two Notorious Vntruths One is That I took his Auction-Room only from Week to Week whereas I took it during the whole Time of the Sale of my Three Auctions paying 5 s. per Week while I kept it This I can prove by two Witnesses upon Oath The other Untruth is That I gave him notice the beginning of October that I should have done by the end of that Month whereas he himself not long since confess'd before several Witnesses That I took it during the whole Sale of my Auctions and that I never Releas'd him This he did so lately he can't forget it And he that will put his Name to so Notorious a Lye and know it to be so which is Dick's Case may well be suppos'd to scruple nothing As to what he says of Patrick's being so Cautious of taking the Room over my Head it is like a Man's asking his Fellow whether he be a Thief And for his saying that Campbel scorns my Reflections I believe 't is the wisest Course he can take for I am sure it is far easier to scorn 'em then answer ' em But though he scorus 'em Vnderstanding Men will see what weight as well as what Truth there is in 'em To whose Impartial Judgment I submit ' em But I shall add no more here but ●efer all Gentlemen to Patt's Coffee-House in High-street where my Reasons for Removing thither are to be seen fairly writ in Two Sheets of Royal ●aper John Du●ton SIR After I had Publish'd this Answer to Mr. Pue's Reflections Mr. Wilde being therein abused as well as my self thought it proper to Publish the following Lines viz. Whereas R. Pue hath Yesterday by the Instigation of 〈◊〉 Neighbour Mr. Campbel Published in the Re-printed Flying P●st a Notorious False Advertisement that the Auction-Room at Dick's was not taken over my Head I do by these Certifie That I can prove by several Witnesses that I had Dick's solemn Promises of the Refusal of the said Room as soon as Mr. Dunton had done with it And the Reasons for such his Promises were for that I was the Proprietor of the Shelves then standing in his Room and that I had kept several of my own Auctions and brought Mr. Thornton's and Mr. Dunton's thither Richard Wilde Thus Sir have I fairly stated the Controversie 'tween Patrick Campbel his Tool Dick and my Self but least you should think me too Partial in my own Cause as you have heard what my Self and Mr. Wilde have to say for our selves for engaging in this Scuffle so I 'll next insert the Testimony of Three Persons and you know Sir a Threefold Cord is not easily broken further confirming the Truth of what I have said Nov. 24. 1698. WE the Persons whose Names are hereunto Subscribed do hereby Attest and Declare that about the beginning of this Month of November Richard Pue did publickly own in our hearing that Mr. Dunton never released him of the Agreement he first made with him which Agreement was That Mr. Dunton should have the Auction-Room as long as he had occasion for it paying 5. s. per Weak Subscribed in the Presence of Math. Gu●ne Samuel Lucas Patrick Tracy Heneage Price George Larkin William Robinson Thus Sir have I given you a further Account of my Scuffle with Patrick Campbel on which your Impartial Thoughts are desired by Your obliged Friend and Servant John Dunton Remarks on my Third Letter SIR I Am Glad if my Remarks be any way pleasing or useful to you and shall answer your Desire in sending you my Thoughts upon your further Scuffling with Patrick and Dick. Your Advertisement upon your Removal to Patt's Coffee-House was Necessary and Just and Patrick's preventing your Publishing your Reasons in Print according to his usual sly Manner is Argument enough to prove that he durst not refer his Cause to the Determination of the Publick and indeed I do not wonder at it for Injustice may well be asham'd to show its Face Besides it seems its Patrick's Character to work like a Mole under Ground for though he Loves to Act Vnjustly he does not Love to Appear so It 's the Nature of a Hypocrite to wear a Rough Garment to deceive It was the next and the only Course left you to Publish your Advertisement that Patrick might a little appear in his Colours and in the mean Time to Publish your Reasons in Writing was an Argument of true English Courage to Face your Adversary with such Weapons as you could come at when your Cowardly Adversary had depriv'd you of any other because he knew he durst not engage you on Equal Terms His Publishing a Reflection upon you in the Reprinted Flying Post was another Effect of his dastardly Temper seeing he would not allow you the same Liberty and therefore Mr. Wilde's Advertisement against Campbel and Dick was very proper and necessary nothing could more effectually vindicate your Honesty and prove your Adversaries falshood and unfair way of Dealing and I doubt not but the Publick would take it as a sufficient Proof of it Your own Answer too was highly necessary and in my Opinion very pertinent You therein expose Patricks and Dicks Hypocritical Equivocations to the Life and seeing Mr. Wilde seconded the Truth of your Assertions by his Advertisement and that you so boldly offer to prove the Truth of what you Assert in yours its next to proving Patrick a Liar on Record I am far from questioning the Truth of what you have from Time to Time inform'd me of as to the Dublin Scuffle and should have believ'd it on your own Assertion I have not known you so long but that I am
