SIR,

You have thought fit to write to Miss Knollys twice or thrice in a very troublesome manner. She cannot possibly so far forget what belongs to Herself and Character, as to answer you any other way than by the Contempt of Silence. Yet since she cannot, it seems, be free from your Impertinence, she wishes you may be told, That you must have as mean an Opinion of her Judgment, as all who read your Epistles, must have of yours, if you can expect Success from such inconsistent Rhapsodies.

I will frommyself venture to give you one Piece of Advice; That the next Person you pretend to address with your bright Compositions, you don't in them forget one Ingredient, which is common Sense; tho’ you should be forced to borrow it. I am

Yours, unknown.
