he had feen her feveral times lince, commonly calling 
on her when he travels that Way, and carrying fome 
Friend or other with him ; and at all thefe times he 
had infpe&ed her Mouth, and was fure fhe had no 
Tongue : And that laft Summer, in particular, he 
and another went to fee her: That he would declare 
this under his Hand, and fhould always be ready to

as he had it from her Mother, who died fome Years 
ago, and it was exactly as above related 5 and faid he 
had been told the fame by an Apothecary alfo, who 
had her in Hand along with Dr. Scotchmore.
