A Post-script to Mr. John Hat.

YOu were lately warned by a wise religious Gentleman to take heed by Mr. Coleborns example of burning your fingers in Mrs. Pigeons Projects, you slighted that Admonition; you are now warned again, remember Mr. Cole∣born, no perswasion of Friends could prevail with him to a∣bandon Mrs. Pigeons company; fat Fees would not let him see his folly till death and a guilty Conscience stared him in the face, and then too late he abhorred them: Mr. Good∣win; Children, in the bitterness of their sorrows, did make their complaint to God, and they did then summon Mr. Coleborn, these women, and your self, (they being by cunning tricks of Law made distitute of Relief on earth) to appear at the impartial Bar of Gods Tribunal to answer this great wickednesse; since that Mr. Coleborn is gone, and you and they must suddenly follow: what think you, will this business of Mr. Goodwins and his Childrens Ruine hold Water when you shall come to gaspe for breath, as Mr. Coleborn before you? and that you shall remember there was a poor weak man, Mr. Goodwin, he had four dutiful Children, and by al∣most forty years painful labour and the assistance of a vertu∣ous provident Wife in an honest calling he had gathered a competency of 2000. l. to support his Family: Mistris Pi∣geon, a woman of an infamous name, without consent of her Husband fees me, by subtil slights of Law she compasses this Estate, I go up & down with her from place to place and justifie her Purchase, avowing that she hath as good a Title to Mr. Goodwins Estate as any of the Commissioners had to theirs; and tell them, the Complaints of Goodwins Chil∣dren are but as the shearing of Hogs, A great cry, and a little wool; I counselled her, after she had gotten all the Stock, to Page  37 pick the bones, fall upon the house, break up Coppars, Ci∣sterns, Pipes, convey, sell, make havock of all, not leave so much as the little houshold Goods given by old Mrs. Good∣win at her death (by her Husbands consent) to his Children, but carry all away; and when any made scruple to buy these stoln Goods I tendred them my Security to warrant their Bargain: let the Children beg, starve, no matter, I have my Fee: I perswaded Mr. Pigeon with all the Art I could to have no hand in assisting those beggarly people old Goodwins Children, and when that would not prevail, threatned him with the Jayle, and effected it. I say, when you shall re∣member all this, and a great deal more I am not privie to, what will you say? you say now she is your Clyent, and yet Lawyers do not usually lodge their Clyents in their houses, and send their Children to board at their houses, nor wait upon them about streets from place to place. I could say ten times more, if you have any spark of Grace or Humani∣ty, repent and endeavour a restitution, and know that your doom is before you, and by that time you can well turn a∣bout you, there will be no Remedy.
