would hand me over to the tormentors. Mr. Phillips, especially,
considered me in danger, and said, when I showed him the
manuscript of my story, if in my place, he would throw it into

losing my liberty. How this liability was dispelled, will be
related, with other incidents, in the next chapter.

As hauing sence of Beautie, do omit
