bid me be fure to follow the Directions of my Guardian, (the tioned Lady) and I above-men fhall never want. The Truth of my Cafe is, I fuppofe, that I was educated for a Purpose he did not know he fhould be unfit for when I came to Years. Now, Sir, what I ask of you, as a Cafuift, is to tell me how far in thefe Circumftances 'I am innocent, though fubmiffive; he guilty, though impotent? I am, SIR, Your conftant Reader, To the Man called the SPECTATOR, Friend, ORASMUCH as at the Birth For the Labour, thou didft promife upon thy Word, that letting alone the "Vanities that do abound, thou would'eft only endeavour to ftrengthen the 'crooked Morals of this our Babylon, I gave Credit to thy fair Speeches, and admitted one of thy Papers, every Day fave Sunday, into my House; for the Edification of my Daughter Tabitha, and to the End that Sufanna the Wife of my Bofom might profit there C thereby. But alas! my Friend, I find 'that thou art a Liar, and that the Truth is not in thee; elfe why didst ' thou in a Paper which thou didst lately put forth, make mention of thofe vain Coverings for the Heads of our 'Females, which thou loveft to liken unto Tulips, and which are lately 'fprung up among us? Nay why didit ❝ thou make mention of them in such a feeming, as if thou didst approve the Invention, infomuch that my Daughter Tabitha beginneth to wax wanton, and to luft after these foolish Vanities? Surely thou doft fee with the Eyes of the Flesh. Verily therefore, unless 'thou doft fpeedily amend and leave off following thine own Imaginations, I I will leave off thee.
