foolish Expression, when thou callest the Pope

I will say thou would have a very wonderful

Escape for I cannot but think, that thy pub-

lishing the Declaration must do more Harm

than thy Remarks, Good, which I will now

Tuesday last, four Men in a Bravado bound

themselves not to leave one another whatever

should happen, and to travel upon the Ice, up
<

</

the middle of the Thames, as far as they could
<
lb

</
lb

for four Days together, and to avoid all the
<
lb

</
lb

Tracks that any had gone in before them. On
<
lb

</
lb

this Adventure, they went from the Old Swan
<
lb

</
lb

near the Bridge, over all the roughest of the
<
lb

</
lb

Ice, with long Poles in their Hands, till they
<
lb

</
lb

came over against Somerset-house where one
<
lb

</

of them found it for his present occasion to
<
lb

</

fall in but by the help of his Pole recover'd,
<
lb

</
lb

having only cool'd his Posteriors; so they went
<
lb

</
lb

on, and right against Lambeth, another had al-
<
lb

</
lb

so an occasion to slip in up to his Arm-pits, but

was helped out, and they still boldy went on,

but have none of them been since heard of.
