Woodbridge, Feb. 28, 1774.
Mr. PRINTER,
OBSERVING in your last Thursday's paper an odd kind of an advertisement, apparently the effusion of some envious Simpleton's brain, intended, no doubt, to ridicule a gentleman in New-Jersey, whose circumstances and conditions in life, it may be fairly judged from the con- duct of this pitiful squirter, in his eyes form a very dis- agreeable contrast with his own: - - The only notice I think it deserves, is the following wholesome piece of advice, administered purely from a motive of charity to the poor pining animal.
O thou envious mortal, who ever thou art, why in- dulge so hateful, so corroding a passion, and be self- tormented? Put up your pointless arrows into their envenomed shaft, & shoot no more, without you can do it with less imbecility; for to suppose you capable of doing the least execution, would be as great an outrage upon common sense, as it would be to affect that you are possessed of a good heart.
N. B. The few who have attended to the perform- ance of this low creature in question, will no longer wonder at his having, among other articles, fixed an envious eye upon the frock, when they consider, that it is a habit as proper for some other occupations in life as that of a coachman.
