to move in Favour of you in the Senate to Day; the Post you sue for
claims your Blood to be spilt against the common Foe, not in private
Resentment, to the Destruction of a Citizen; and therefore I intreat you
as my Friend, or I command you as your Officer, to put up.' _Erizo_,
unwilling to disoblige his Admiral, upon whose Favour his Advancement
depended, told _Gonzago_, that he must find another time to talk with
him. 'No, no, Gentlemen, (said the Admiral) you shall not part 'till I
have reconciled you, and therefore let me know your Cause of Quarrel.'
_Erizo_ therefore related to him the whole Affair, and mentioning that
_Dangerfield_ was gone Home to Dine with _Rinaldo_; 'With _Rinaldo_ my
Father?' said _Belvideera_ from the Coach, overjoy'd with Hopes of
seeing _Dangerfield_ at Home. 'Yes, (reply'd _Gonzago_ surpriz'd) if

three Gentlemen were set down at the Senate, and the Lady drove Home as
above-mentioned.

_Rinaldo_ in the mean Time was not idle in the Senate, there being a
Motion made for Election of a Captain to the _Rialto_ Galleon, made void
by the Death of its former Commander in the late Fight, and which was
the Post designed by the Admiral for _Erizo_. _Rinaldo_ catching an
Opportunity of obliging _Dangerfield_, for whom he entertain'd a great
Love and Respect, proposed him as a Candidate for the Command, urging
his late brave Performance against the _Turks_, and how much it
concerned the Interest of the State to encourage Foreigners. He being
the Admiral's Brother, and being so fervent in the Affair, had by an
unanimous Consent his Commission sign'd just as his Brother came into
the Senate, who fearing how Things were carried, comforted _Erizo_ by
