To Mr. No Busy Body.
Bravo! your answer in the last Paper was Manly, that [begin italicized] Bold Champion of the Mule race [end italicized] must be lashed; but give me leave, Sir, to observe, that the Individual on whom he has excited a Laugh, has been Imprudent to Advertise that [begin italicized] his Intention was to Shoot at Animals [end italicized - note "n" in Animals is upside down]: that is the reason the Public took up the Pen in defence of many that pass and repass the Public Road of Plantation Vlissingen: the Writer (guiced [sic] under the broad Cloak of the Public) had no intention of Expose by redicule [sic], an Individual who has already suffered great Injury.
[begin italicized] I know my Dear Mr. No Busy Body [end italicized] That you are Wife, Devout and True,
And trust in all you Say and all you do,
Whatever be your Birth!! you're sure to be,
A Peer of the first Magnitude to me. The Observer.
