AN
APOLOGY
For the LIFE of
Mrs$ SHAMELA ANDREWS.
Parson TICKLETEXT to Parson OLIVER.
  Rev$ SIR,
HEREWITH I transmit you a Copy
of sweet, dear, pretty Pamela, a little
Book which this Winter hath produced;
of which, I make no doubt, you have
already heard mention from some of your Neighbouring
Clergy; for we have made it our common
Business here, not only to cry it up, but to preach
it up likewise: The Pulpit, as well as the Coffee-house,
hath resounded with its Praise, and it is
expected shortly, that his L--p will recommend
it in a --- Letter to our whole Body.
<P 2><L 1>
  And this Example, I am confident, will be
imitated by all our Cloth in the Country: For
besides speaking well of a Brother, in the Character
of the Reverend Mr$ Williams, the useful
and truly religious Doctrine of Grace is every
where inculcated.
  This Book is the "SOUL of Religion, Good-Breeding,
Discretion, Good-Nature, Wit,
Fancy, Fine Thought, and Morality. There
is an Ease . . .
