tian, and was bound out to farrow—
and the Egyptian bound me down for
a season, but, unknown to him I fav'd
a talent of silver, and when the Egyp
tian found it out he was wrath and
coafpirtd against me in the following
manner : he goes to my mafler's son,
and shews him all his treasures, in a
dak over-call day, and the young man
being near lighted, having a burr be

the treasures appeared :o him ten
times as much as there really were—
but the Egyptian was of a coveteous
nature,'for of that he Ihew he would
give but little, yet had a desire to be
popular, therefore he fays to the young
man, your father's servant has got mo
ney, and you shall have a part of that
if you will prevail upon your father to
join us, for his power is great over
hit servants, and he can influence with
hit determination, if he pleaies, and
take the one talent of silver from his
servant and give it to me—if you will
' bring this about we will go fnacks
then the young man runs to his father
and acquaints him with the Egyptian
message—at which my master failed
and agrees to the plan, and determines
to let the Egyptian have two or three
chances to try his art and rob the poor
prisoner, which was carried on as fol
lows : In order to secret himfelf from
being exposed in such a witched plan,
he calls an Joseph, and his company,
who were'Pottifer's servants, and a
grees to leave the matter with them,
charging them to take the talent from
the prisoner and give it to the Egyp
tian, but while jofeph and his compa

feat of the Lord came upon them and
they were afraid to rob the prisoner,
and when my master saw their deter
mination he was wrath with them, and
his son fends for Potifer's wife and
his fellow prophet, and they came and
conspired, against jofeph,which caused
a great (hour, and ! awoke and be

With this dispute, the Editor is
determined that neither this, not
the two pieces against the DO6L
nor indeed any thing farther on
the fubjeft shall be ushered to
the pulic through the medium
of this paper. But if any in
dividual is solicitous to fee this
piece of the Doft's or the de
position referred to, they may
apply at the Phenix-Office.
&J- The Editorhas this week
received a second piece from M.
Carr, which is directed chiefly
to Mr. Watson, calling upon
him to prove that the Doctor
said he advised Mr. T. not to
have the result published, and is
nothing more than the old story
over again—he fubm'its to Col.
Rawson's statement of the case ;
but thinks the Editor was severe
in his last week's note of the re
ceipt of Lethe; but was he to
fee the severity of Lethe upon
him, he would find that note in
comparison, as one drop of water
to the boundless ocean —but out of
refpecl to old age, & at the fame
time, to pay proper attention to
correspondents, the Editor was
induced to publish that note. —
As the Dott. in this piece ap
pears to doubt of Mr. Watson's
evidence fl can inform him that
there has been a depofitron tak
