TO Benjamin Brown Esq. in Salem.
SIR,
I Know with what Eyes, You have Looked after the Desire of your Eyes, upon her taking her Flight from you, unto the Upper and the Truer Salem. And if your Tears upon the Funeral of so Charming a Virtue, have left them able to Read any thing, there can be nothing more acceptable to them, than the Revived Image of that Virtue, to Survive the Funeral.
I Know with what Eyes, You have Look'd after the Desire of your Eyes, upon her taking her Flight from you, unto the Upper and the Truer Salem. And if your Tears upon the Funeral of so Charming a Vertue, have left them able to Read any thing, there can be nothing more acceptable to them, than the Reviv'd Image of that Vertue, to Survive the Funeral.
Her Sex will not need Cornelius Agrippa, and an hundred more Authors of his Form, to be their Advocates, while such Excellent & Exemplary Persons, as your late Consort, arise in a Practical Advocateship to demand our Estimation.
