To S. Accommodati della villa No∣va.

I Pity your Case, and wish it were otherwise. I know your Neighbour is a Cross-grain'd Fellow, but he is Plausible, and will find Friends, and hath Neighbours as bad as himself, who will not fail to take his Part. Since therefore you can neither Remove nor Reform him; secure yourself and Compound with him. Invite him to Dinner, and make him your Friend. This is Good advice, and make a Rule on't.
