The 'Dedication, 
be a more acceptable Prefent to a 
Gardiner ; than a Basket of choice 
Fruity of which he has great Plen- 
ty already? Or will a Perfon who 
has for a long Time been ufed to 
the wholelbme Smell c^iTitch and 
Tar\ not think the Fragrancy of a 
Rqfe or Clove-gillijiower an agree- 
able Novelty? furely he will. And 
I do not doubt in the leaft Sir, 
but You will receive this Offer of 
mine with as favourable a Counte- 
nance as once a great King did a Tur- 
nip from a poor Subjed; of his. This

Giver and Receiver is much lefs, 
and in the fecond Place I exped 
no Reward. 
Let Impertinence fneer and 
prate what it will in Derogation of 
your Merit, I liave enough to 
fay in behalf of my Patron, with- 
out having recourle to a fet offul- 
fome
