Slipslop; in which we prophecy there are
some strokes which every one will not
truly comprehend at the first reading

departure from Lady Booby

between him and Mr. Barnabas the
parson of the parish
XIV. Being very full of adventures, which

their zeal, and that of many other persons
not mentioned in this history.

appointment. The arrival of two very ex-
traordinary personages, and the introduc-
tion of parson Adams to parson Barnabas.
XVII. A pleasant discourse between the two
parsons and the bookseller, which was
broke off by an unlucky accident happen-
ing in the inn, which produced a dialogue
between Mrs. Tow-wouse and her maid of
no gentle kind
