Unto the Right Aetherial the Siplers. The petition of poor Alexander Bonum Magnum, humbly sheweth, that your petitioner hath, tho' during a very cold season, been laid under the disagreeable necessity of abstaining from the use of his favourite catholicon. That by repeated admonitions, which have lately been given him, in the most acrimonious stile, and in the most public manner, he hath, in particular, been obliged to absent himself from several occasions of mirth and jollity, of which your siplerships have had the happiness to partake. ...
