To this Mr.1 Cary returns a Tragical Complaint instead of a Rational Answer. Insinuates my falsehood and gross abuse of him. Appeals to his Reader. Tells him I have taken a liberty to say what I please, as if there were no future Judgment to be regarded. And that I can expect no comfort another day without repentance now. For those things that have thus passed betwixt him and me, shall again be revised, and set in order before me. That he is weary of noting my Miscarriages of this kind.
