despise him as they do his Message but at the last Hour you will change your Mind and wish to die the Death of the Righteous though you never car'd to imitate their Life Break off then from your Sins in Tim● by a true Repentance and cordial Reformation learn to entertain pure and chaste Flames of Devotion in your Soul and they will quickly extinguish those bruitish Lusts that hurry you head-long to Pordition which if the Almighty grant you Grace to do you will be sensible that you were not mistaken in making Application to me as your Friend though you were very much out in the Method and as much disappointed in the Manner I adde no more but that I do as earnestly wish your Conversion as I hate your Vice and if this may be any way conducive towards it I shall think my self Happy in a good Improvement of the first Billet Do●x that ever was put into my Hand and that though you were Wicked that you were not unhappy in sending it Farewel Dorinda Remarks on J. D's Second Letter to the Citizens-Wife SIR I Have perused your second Letter to the Irish Dorinda and am of Opinion she never met with such returns to her Courtship before It 's not probable that she will trouble Philaret any more with her Billet Douxes and it were to be wished she never troubled any Body else with them You have done your Part to cure her Distemper but that Disease in the Soul is too often like the Gout in the Body Opprobrium Medicorum You have however discharged your Duty be the Event what it will I cannot well tell what you could have said more for you have touch'd on most of the Ordinary Topicks if what you have said do but reach a Conviction she will not grudge to read the Treatises you have recommended to Her to which I wish you had added Mr. Carr's Antidote against Lust 't is also a Book of your own Printing and will further inform her Judgment and convince her of the vileness of her Practise I am glad that you have left behind you in Dublin such Proofs of your fair way of dealing and of your Iustice to the Marriage Bed had all who have gone hence shew'd the Irish such good Example it would have rendred the English Conquest of that Countrey more Universal and Effectual than ever our Arms have yet done I have nothing else to say but that perhaps when this Billet Doux comes to see the Publick the Reality of it may be Questioned not that your Person and Purse might not have been as tempting as those of others who have frequent Adventures of this sort but because of ill natur'd Suspicion amongst those of your own Trade and the too frequent Abuses of that Kind which some few of 'em have put upon the Publick and indeed had I not seen the Original and been satisfied from the probability of the Circumstances as the Place to which 't was directed the credible Witnesses who saw you send your Answer and your own Affirmation I should have suspected the Truth of it my self Your Design of putting it in Print I cannot disapprove it shews your Innocence and will not only prevent those wanton Ladies from making you any more their Confident but may deter others from the like Practises lest they should have the same Fate and it must needs be a Picquant Rebuke to the loose Dorinda to see her Billet Doux expos'd to Publick View For though she Lives under Covert it may happen some way or other to point her out as it 's but Just it should I am SIR Your very Humble Servant The Thirteenth Letter SIR HAving troubled you with Dorinda's Billet Doux and my former two Letters to Her and receiv'd your Remarks upon them which were very much to my Satisfaction I give you the Trouble of one more which you will oblige me to peruse and to give me your Thoughts upon it with your usual Freedom The Letter is as follows viz. Dorinda IN my first Letter I checkt your Impudence for contriving to C d Argus In my second Letter I sent you Rules for Chastity and having receiv'd no Answer to either of these Letters I conclude you are asham'd of your Billet Doux and are willing to be Reform'd If these Conjectures are Right 't will be proper in the next place to say what I can to set Argus and you a Loving again and here I shall Write nothing but my own Experience to which I 'll adde Rules for Dorinda and Argus to live by which may if Dorinda's a true Penitent maked●em yet a ●appy Pair I shall begin these Rules with telling Dorinda Wo are taught from Scripture that Marriage is honourable in all Men so is not a single Life in some it is a Snare and a Trouble in the Flesh a Prison of unruly Desires which is attempted daily to be broken A single Life● is never commanded but in some Cases Marriage is for he that like Dorinda cannot contain must Marry and he that can contain is not tyed to a single Life but may Marry very lawfully Marriage was ordain'd by God instituted in Paradice was the relief of a natural Necessity and the first Blessing from God himself He gave to Man not a Friend but a Wife that is a Friend and a Wife too It is the Seininary of the Church and daily bring forth Sons and Daughters unto God Our Blessed Lord tho' he was born of a Maiden yet she was Vailed under the cover of Marriage and she was Married to A WIDDOWER for Ioseph the supposed Father of our Lord had Children by a former Wife The first Miracle that ever Jesus did was to do Honour to a Wedding Marriage was in the World before Sin and has been in all Ages of the World the greatest Antidote against it and although Sin hath sowr'd Marriage and stuck the Man's Head with Cares and the Womans Bed with Sorrow in the Production of Children yet these are but throws of Life and Glory and she shall be saved in Child-bearing if she be found in Faith and Righteousness So that Marriage is the proper Scene of Piety and Patience of the Duty of Parents and the Charity of Relatives here Kindness is expanded and Love is united and made firm as a Center Marriage is the Nursery of Heaven the Virgin sends Prayers to God but she carries but one Soul to him but the state of Marriage fills up the Numbers of the Elect and hath in it the Labour of Love the Delicacies of Friendship the Blessing of Society and the Union of Hands and Hearts And as Marriage is the Nursery of Heaven so 't is the Mother of the World it preserves Kingdoms fills Cities Churches and Heaven it self Thus Dorinda have I shewn that the state you are enter'd into is Divine in its Institution Sacred in its Union Holy in the Mystery Honourable in its Appellative Religious in its Imployments It is Advantage to the Societies

after my coming to Dublin Mr. Norman the Bookseller sent one Mr. Rogerson to invite me to his House when I came thither I ●ound his Business was to propose the buying of the Venture I had brought over in which though we agreed not he treated me very kindly shewing me all his House and therein his Picture done so much to the Life that even Ze●xes or Apelles cou'd scarce exceed it From his House he had me to his Garden which though not very large is to be much admir'd for the curiousness of the Knots and variety of choice Flowers that are in it he ●eing an excellent Florist and well acquainted with all the variegated Tapistry of Nature in the several Seasons of the year Mr. Norman has this peculiar to himself that whatever he has in his Garden is the most excellent of its kind He has a Room adjoyning to this Earthly Paradise to shelter his more tender Plants and Flowers from the Insults of Winter-storms From hence he carried me to a large Ware-house where he had a large Auction preparing as he said for Sale though I heard nothing more of it while I staid in Dublin Madam shou'd I give ye this Gentleman's Character I must say He 's a little squat Man that loves to live well and has a Spouse who understands preparing good things as well as the best Lady in Ireland he has a hole too much in his Nose which I have heard was occasion'd by a Brass Pin in his Nurses Wastcoat which when he was nuzling for the Diddy hapned to run in it and for want of a skilful hand to dress it the hole remains to this day and yet without disfiguring his Face Before I proceed to the next Visit give me leave Madam being fall'n a second time among my Brethren to spend a few Lines about 'em among the many I trouble you with concerning other People they are not a Corporation of themselves but mixt with Cutlers and Painter-stainers and their present Master is Mr. Norman whose Character I here send ye with this Addition that he never opposed my Auction Nor must I Madam forget the extraordinary Civility of the King's Printer Mr. Andrew Crook Who is a worthy and generous Gentleman whose Word and Meaning never shake hands and part but always go together He is one that is as far from doing other Men an Injury as he is from desiring to be injur'd and though his Circumstances are not so great yet his Soul is as large as if he were a Prince and scorns as much to do an unworthy Action He is a great Lover of Printing and has a great Respect for all that are related to that Noble Mystery Having paid my Respects to the King's Printer I went next to Mr. Thornton the King's Stationer of whom I shall say in short He 's a very obliging Person has sence enough for a Privy-Counsellor and good Nature enough for a Primitive Christian. He treated me when I came to Dublin with a Bottle of Excellent Claret and if I live to publish my Summer Ramble Patrick Campbel shall know though he was afraid to meet him at the Keys in High-street there is not a better Neighbour nor an honester Man in Dublin As I pass'd from the King's Stationer I met with an honest Gentleman with whom I was formerly acquainted in London 't was my worthy Friend Dr. Smith of College-green near Dublin his Character is above my Pen yet I may venture to say He is a Man of extraordinary Sense and the only Physitian I durst commit the Care of my Health to in the whole Country He invited me to his House and when I came gave me a hearty Welcome and for his Treat though 't was very Genteel yet nothing seemed so agreeable to me as the Doctors Company I went next to Brides-street to pay my Respects to Mr. Wallis a Member of Parliament and his Lady with whom I had the Honour to be acquainted at Tunbridge some years ago I shall ever acknowledge the generous Reception I met with here neither can I forget to characterize his extraordinary Kinswoman whose Wit and Beauty set her above the rest of the fair Sex as having nothing in her but what bears witness to the Perfection of her Mind and Body Saint like she looks a Syren if she sing Her Eyes are Stars her Mind is ev'ry thing I wou'd say something too of that ingenious Gentleman who is Tutor to Mr. Wallis's Children for I found in some Discourses I had with him That his Learning and Knowledge had out-strip'd his years but he 's too modest to bear the Character he justly merits and to speak of him by halfs is what I can't approve of so I 'll wave his Character with only saying The Conversation I found here was the most agreeable of any I met in Dublin Durst I here attempt Mr. Wallis's Character I might say of him as was said of the Lord Russel That he 's one of the best of Sons the best of Fathers the best of Husbands the best of Masters the best of Friends and the best of Christians and his Lady is no ways inferior to him for Vertue Wit and Generosity And her Kinswoman Madam More not she that I spake of before but one I had the Honour to know at Tunbridge is so like her in these Qualities that were their Faces alike too you cou'd not distinguish one from t'other In some Conferences I had with Mr. Wallis about my Welsh Travels I told him I found the following Epitaph on a Tomb-stone in Conway-Church which for the Remarkableness of it I inserted in my Journal 't was this Here lies Nicholas Hooks of Conway Gent. the One and Fortieth Child of his Father William Hooks Esq by his Wife Alice and Father of Twenty Seven Children himself Which was a matchless Instance of a fruitful Family To which Mr. Wallis reply'd He heard there had been a Troop in Ireland wherein one Mother had Two and Twenty of her own Children listed Having taken my leave of Mr. Wallis his Lady and the rest of his Family my next Visit was to Sir Henry Ingoldsby a Member of the Privy Council in Ireland and a Gentleman of near Ninety Years When I came to his House I sent up my Name and Sir Henry order'd his Gentleman to bring me into a private apartment where he was When I enter'd the Room Sir Henry receiv'd me in a courteous manner I told him I presum'd to wait upon him to enquire whether my Reverend Father Mr. Iohn Dunton was not once his Chaplain and that if he was it must be Forty years ago Sir Henry did not at first remember it but sending to his Lady she sent word that she did call to mind such a Person but 't was added my Father did not live in the House but us'd to come often to it I then ask'd Sir Henry Whether one Mrs. Marry Hall did not live with him when my Father was in Ireland for
