It is observable that the great spite of this Man is against me and my Son; which is the more strange, considering that no Men have been so much respected and honoured by the most Eminent Ministers in Scotland, and by several Noblemen there, than we have been. But he is Degener a patria. If he returns to Scotland and shall abuse the Ministers there, as he has done here without doubt the Church there (to which such wickedness is detestable) would deliver him to Satan, for he deserves the highest Censure. He charges those that are for Inoculation to be guilty of Felony, and advises Dr. Boylston's Friends to bring him to his Trial, while so many Judicious Magistrates and Ministers are in the humour of Inoculation. Thus doth he flout at Judicious Magistrates and Ministers for which he deserves to be scourged out of the Country. But will he charge Dr. Harris and other the Physicians in London with Felony?
