The will read. What passed on the occasion.

LETTER XXXV. Belford to Lord M.--
Apprehends a vindictive resentment from the Colonel.--Desires that Mr.

LETTER XXXVII. Lovelace to Belford.--
Describing his delirium as dawning into sense and recollection. All is

LETTER XLII. From the same.--
Ridicules him on the scheme of life he has drawn out for himself. In his
manner gives Belford some farther cautions and warnings. Reproaches him
