London. . . Dec. 31 . . . Not long since at Bath the
subscriptions books were opened for prayers at the Abbey,
and gaming at the rooms.  In the evening of the first day,

  The Church and Rooms, the other day,
  Open'd their books for Pray'r and play;
  The priest got twelve. --Hoyle sixty-seven;
  How great the odds for hell 'gainst heav'n!
