[Following a nine column letter to the editor]
  Mr. Printer, I intended to have concluded here; but as I
presume the publick will be soon furnished with an apology
from the Westmoreland colonel, I cannot dismiss him without
a caution, well expressed in the following lines of a late
modern writer.
  Richard stand forth, I dare thee to be try'd
  In that great court where conscience must preside;
  At that most solemn bar hold up thy head, 
  Think before whom, on what account, you stand;
  . . . [14 more lines signed] James Mercer, an enemy to
hypocrisy.
