Stran 23 - COTTON MATHER. I was once one of your Meeting : But the Cursed Lye you told of You know who, made me leave You, You Dog, And Damn You, I will Inoculate You with this, with a Pox to You.
Stran 34 - These do without fear, and to all you'll appear, Fair, charming, true, lovely and clever ; Though the times remain darkish, young men may be sparkish, And love you much stronger than ever.
