<p n="93">SIR,</p>
<p n="94">YOU can't but know that Sadness is the Rack of an Affliction not to be expressed, a Judgment more prejudical than the wor'st Revenge from an Enemy's Hand, it is like a venemous Worm, which not only Consumes the Body, but eats into the very Soul: It is a Mouth that feeds on the very Marrow and Vitals, a perpetual Executioner, torturing the Soul, and exhausting her Spirits. So, Sir, if Conscience has touched you in the least; It must certainly leave Sadness on your Spirits; and as it behoves every one at their last Hour to die in Peace with God and the World. I freely forgive you and all the World.</p>
