eadily comply'd, and she pass'd away all that Summer with
_Eugenia_, at their Country-Seat, and most Part of the Winter too; for
_Eugenia_ could by no Means be prevail'd on to lie one Night in her
Mother's House; 'twas with some Reluctancy that she consented to dine
there sometimes. At length the whole Year of _Philadelphia's_ Widowhood
was expir'd; during which, you can't but imagine that she was solicited
and address'd to by as many Lovers, or pretended Lovers, as our dear
King _Charles_, whom God grant long to reign, was lately by the
Presbyterians, Independants, Anabaptists, and all those canting whiggish
Brethren! But she had never lik'd any Man so well as to make him her
Husband, by Inclination, unless it was _Gracelove_, devour'd by the
greedy Inhabitants of the Sea.

Whilst her Fortune began to mend thus, her Brother's grew worse; but
that was indeed the Effect of his Extravagancy: In less than two Years
Time, he had spent eight thousand Pounds in _France_, whence he return'd
to _England_, and pursuing his old profuse Manner of Living, contracted
above 100_l._ Debts here, in less than four Months Time; which not being
able to satisfy, he was arrested, and thrown into a Goal, whence he
remov'd himself into the _King's Bench_, on that very Day that old
_Fairlaw_ dy'd. There, at first, for about a Month, he was entertain'd
like a Gentleman; but finding no Money coming, nor having a Prospect of
any, the Marshal and his Instruments turn'd him to the Common Side,
where he learnt the Art of Peg-making, a Mystery to which he had been a
Stranger all his Life long 'till then. 'Twas then he wish'd he might see
his Sister, hoping that she was in a Condition to relieve him; which he
was apt to believe, from the Discourse he had with _Gracelove_ some
Years past. Often he wish'd to see her, but in vain; however, the next
_Easter_ after the old Counsellor's Death, _Philadelphia_, according to
his Custom, sent her Steward to relieve all the poor Prisoners about
Town; among the rest he visited those in the common Side of the _King's
Bench_, where he heard 'em call Sir _William Wilding_ to partake of his
Lady's Charity. The poor Prodigal was then feeding on the Relief of the
Basket, not being yet able to get his Bread at his new Trade: To him the
Steward gave a Crown, whereas the other had but Half a Crown apiece.
Then he enquir'd of some of the unhappy Gentlemen, Sir _William's_
Fellow-Collegians, of what Country Sir _William_ was
