lingers and lingers it out, and I find the disease is incurable.

Q
1615
_Quakerwise._--"William, thee knows I never call any bad names; but,
William, if the mayor of the city were to come to me and say, 'Joshua, I
want thee to find me the biggest liar in the city,' I would come to thee
and put my hand on thy shoulder, and say to thee, 'William, the mayor
wants to see thee.'"
