And how wou'd you reward that politique head that shou'd contrive the means to bring this hansomly about not for an hour or a night but even as long as you please with freedom without the danger of venturing your honourable neck in showing feats of activitie three stories high with a Dagger in one hand and a Pistol in t'other like a Rope-dancer Car. But how thou talkest of impossibilities Anto. Dost think she 'll e'er consent to quit her Husband Guz. No Heaven forbid I am too good a Christian to par man and wife but being naturally inclin'd to works of Charity I will with one project I have in this noddle of mine make old Francisco a Cuckold accommodate my Lord and Julia serve you Sir and give our selves a good Scene of mirth Car. Thou amazests me Guz. If I doe 't not send me to the Galleys nay and so far cure the jealousie of the old Fellow that from a rigid suspicious troublesome Fool he shall become so tame and gentle a Husband that he shall desire you to favour him so much as to lie with his dear Wife Car.

But how shall we doe with the Seamen of this other Gally Guz. There 's not above a Dozen besides the Slaves that are chain'd to the Oar and those Dozen a Pistoll a piece wou'd not onely make 'em assist in the Design but betray it in earnest to the Grand Seignior for them I 'll undertake the Master of it being Pier de 〈◊〉 your Fathers Old Servant Sir To Carlos Anto.
