Here’s Fooling against Fooling, and one Counterfeit Answer’d with
another. The Woman would needs persuade the Good Man that she was Dead;
and the Husband in Requital, gives her to understand, that she must be
Flay’d then; which was the only way the Poor Man had of making the best
of a Bad Game. ’Twas a Sham both ways, and so they Compounded the Quarrel
upon’t; and the Good Woman never Dy’d after this, ’till she came to Dye
for Good and all. There are some Peevish Cases that will bear no other
way of Conviction.
