Your Lordſhips further ſatisfaction, and

hungry, to be ſhut in all Night, with a

Bed of Paper for him to reſt upon: And
<
lb

to be ſure that the Receiver was well

Cheeſe that had been put in with him. </

having thus kept him alive full twelve

part of the Air, bring him to droop, and
<

to appear ſwell'd; and by letting in the

Air again, we ſoon reduc'd him to his for
