POSTSCRIPT.
Chap. VII. How sir Swain Northy[1] was, by bleeding, purging, and a steel diet, brought into a consumption; and how John was forced afterward to give him the gold cordial.
Chap. VIII. How Peter Bear[2] was overfed, and afterward refused to submit to the course of physick.
Chap. IX. How John pampered esquire South with titbits, till he grew wanton; how he got drunk with Calabrian wine, and longed for Sicilian beef and how John carried him thither in his barge.
Chap. X. How the esquire, from a foul feeder, grew dainty: how he longed for mangoes, spices, and Indian birdsnests, &c. and could not sleep but in a chintz bed.
Chap. XI. The esquire turned tradesman; how he set up a China-shop[3] over against Nic. Frog.
Chap. XII. How he procured Spanish flies to blister his neighbours, and as a provocative to himself. As likewise how he ravished Nic. Frog's favorite daughter.
Chap. XIII. How Nic. Frog hearing the girl squeak, went to call John Bull as a constable: calling of a constable no preventive of a rape.
Chap. XIV. How John rose out of his bed in a cold morning to prevent a duel between esquire South and lord Strutt; how, to his great surprise, he found the combatants drinking geneva in a brandy-shop, with Nic.'s favourite daughter between them. How they both fell upon John so that he was forced to fight his way out.
