Esquire South's Message and Letter to Mrs.Bull.*.
* Complaints of the deficiencies of the House of Austria, Prince Eugene's journey and message.
The arguments used by Hocus and the rest of the guardians had hitherto proved insufficient.

John and his wife could not be persuaded to bear the expense of Esquire South's lawsuit.

They thought it reasonable that, since he was to have the honour and advantage, he should bear the greatest share of the charges, and retrench what he lost to sharpers and spent upon country dances and puppet plays to apply it to that use.

This was not very grateful to the esquire; therefore, as the last experiment, he was resolved to send Signior Benenato, master of his foxhounds, to Mrs.Bull to try what good he could do with her.
