He Waited on Sr. Edmond Andross, the Governor and Oppressor of New-England; and acquainted him, That he designed a Voyage for London. He also gave the Country notice of his Voyage, in a Sermon at the Great Lecture; on Exod. XXXIII. 15. If thy Presence go not with ⟨p. 107⟩us, carry us not up from hence. Hereupon Randolph again, Assisted by one 'Pothecary Bullivant, a Memorable Justice [and something else!] Privately sent an Officer to Arrest him once more (such the Equity of those Times!) upon the former Action of Defamation. But it fell out, that he was just then under the Operation of a more wholesome Physic, than what that 'Pothecary had sent him; and so the Officer was Ignorantly denied Admittance. The 'Pothecary as Ignorantly reported, That Mr. Mather was Arrested; and the Report flying like Lightening about the Solicitous Town, it soon reached Mr. Mathers Ears; who then kept upon his Guard.

Of Randolph I said a good while ago, That I should have farther Occasion to mention him. I have now done it; And that I may never mention him any more, I will here take my Eternal Farewell of him, with Relating, That he proved a Blasted Wretch, followed with a sensible Curse of GOD wherever he came; Despised, Abhorred, Unprosperous; Anon he Died in Virginia, and in such Miserable Circumstances, that (as it is said) he had only Two or Three Negro's to carry him unto his Grave.
