John dropt his intention of building

quarteringhis new wife in the third thield,
and his former wife "a ScOtch woman) in
the fecond, while his own arms occupy
the fra and fourth, as much as to FAY that
he will be match for both.

convenicncies for kneeling and devotion.

Kind treatment, however, may inn

good, and prevent her from throwing her.
