and sung a sarm , and a nym or two , I made him partake of the Lamb , which I was having for my dinner ,, with a bit of sallit and kukehumber . All this is as true as can be , and if he waz not dead he would come imself and vouchsafe every word of it .
Sir—Mister Eaditor , think of your own sitivation ! think of it yourself : the devil I know very well , comes to your bedside every night , and so he does to that wretched ingividual who wrote Plato in your Monthly ; and says he ' Don ' t believe a word Annonimus tells you : * but I will make myself heard from the house top—yea , from the clay pots upon the tip top , and 1 will never ceese to cry slaughter and hell-fire upon those who leave
the Lord , and will not leave the pious world alone ! But the pious parts of the world should be let alone ; as that venerable and god-fearing noble statesmen Eldon hath so often said , and as I have so often said too , only I am a woman instead of a Hurl . Forasmuch as it hath pleased heaven to give us the present condition of sosiety , so sertin is it that we should continner in the same , save and except the he stableish churchy all of whose
property should be sold and divided among those who could prove , as / can , how they have attended their meetin for 8 years reglar ; and more in proporshion to those who have attended for a great while longer , as I can prove I have done , for . one . This is the only reform what ' s in the least necessary . But you , Mr . Headitor , and the rest of your monthly incarnates , are continnerly battling for all sorts of things beside—sich as eddication , poor laws , corn
rnymes , ballot and other songs , parliament and sich like gingerbread stuffs ; for which , mark my words , if you don ' t all have to howl you know where ! One thing only you ort by rites to do , and that is wot hive just told you . All the rest is mere sinful and mischievous backsliding , even as the wicked young varmints in winter , who throw honest people down in spite of ashes and list tied over the shooze .
And now , sur , to conclude . Although I am but a poor single individooal ; a numble , penitent , god-fearing beleaver ; a meek , lowly , and obedient ere atur of hopeful trusting grace ; a sorrowful , weak , sad-in-spirir , and never-enough fast-and-praying penitent ; an afflicted one , and moreover a shedder of teers ; a petickler constant attender of the worship , although a trembling contrite and gentle cristian of charrity ; yet will I , feeble and meek as I be , rise up to do battle for the trueth . And the sword of the
ryechouse shall strike all sich as turn aside from the rite path , which is the one I have pointed oute . For I will gird up my loins and arm myself with faith hope and charity ; thereby striking- all erring patriots and radicals to the bottom of the bottomless pit ; yea , and lower than that where fire is , and all mouth ! And I will knock down , over throw , cast off , upset and absolutely capsize all sich monsters of inkwiddity , as rites about Plato and the poor , and cora and chimneys , and setterer j so
