Leave: My Son, he then faid, treasure up the Admonitions and Cautions I have given you, this is the daft Embrace either of us fhall have of each other; for I fhall furely fleep with myFathers before the Sun has made two annual Revolutions round this terrestrial Globe.

It took me up almoft fix Weeks, to fettle my Affairs at home. In that Time the Nobleman who had borrowed Six Thousand Pounds of my Mother, paid the Mortgage off, with the Intereft, the whole of which amounted to upwards of Seven Thousand Pounds: I received it all in Bank Bills, which I carried to Bristol, and then to Bath with me. At the last Place, after fpending a Month, I fent my Servant home, and took the Name of Hudson, and was proceeding to London, with a Black Servant I had hired there. This Journey, the Accident happened on the Road, which you have heard, as well as whatever paffed from thence to my going abroad. I changed my Name again on landing in Holland, and hear

In

ing there of Lord Peterborough's Expedition into Spain, I determined to make fome Campaigns in his Army; and you, Captain Mead, know, I have served. there during almost the whole War. And now, Gentlemen, I hope this will: convince you, I had no villanous Intention of marrying my dear Wife in a borrowed Name, nor base Design in changing it afterwards. I fhall now conclude, with appealing to yourselves, whether either of you, on a due Confideration of all Circumstances, with fuch a strong Prepoffeffion from Infancy, would have acted otherwise; especially as many Things happened on my first Travels, according to the Information he had given me: Therefore I verily believed, whatever Calamities. my Family were threatened with, would as certainly happen; and were no Way to be avoided, but by following the Advices and Inftructions of my venerable Friend, who could. have no View or Intereft in deceiv ing.me.

They acknowledged themselves at a Lofs to determine how they should have behaved in fo extraordinary a Cafe, where many of the Incidents were fo wonderful and furprising.

Captain Lewis and his Lady obliged them to stay Supper, and talked of fetting out for Salisbury the next Morning, and from thence to his Estate in Glamorganshire; and after spending the remaining Part of the Night in the utmoft Chearfulness, Captain Mead and his Friends heartily took their Leave, and wished them a good Journey.

by the Breaking out again of the Wound in bis Arm; receives Orders from the Secretary of War to recruit in Northumberland; fends Serjeant Webb to Berwick, before him, with particular Directions goes thither bimself, under the borrowed Name of Johnson, and is kindly received by his Uncle, as a Friend of his Nephew's, but he is known at first Sight by Eleanora.

B

Y Serjeant Webb's Account from Berwick, Captain Richmore was informed, he had delivered his Letters to Mifs Eleanora, and Mrs. Vanmine; the former of whom he reprefented to be in a very indifferent State of Health, and returned their Anfwers inclosed. He also acquainted him of the Success he had already met with in recruiting, and that he had enlifted many Men be fore Sir Robert Richmore, who, on find

ing

ing he came from Spain, enquired if he knew a young Gentleman of the Name of Richmore, whom he had heard was an Officer in the Army there That upon his anfwering he did, and left him well; he asked a Multitude of Questions in a Breath, as what Commiffion and Character he bore? How many Nuns he had ravished? What Churches he had plunder'd? What Rapine and Murders he had committed? And whether he did not rant and roar, bully and get drunk? for I fuppofe, added he, by this Time he is grown as great a Rake as any Officer of them all. However, I have Reafon to believe fo, by his Difobedience to me, first, in going abroad without my Consent and Knowledge, and daftly, by his fo far neglecting his Duty, as never once to write to me during the Time he has been absent: Nor fhould I have known what was become of him, had I not been informed by Mr. Wilson, who met him at Lisbon, fome Years ago, that he was gone into the Army.
