Finally, the fact of his being indebted to Robert Sadler, a baker, in the sum of five pounds, and his being under the necessity of bringing a friend as security for the payment, proves nothing at all. There is not a town in Europe, in which opulent men cannot be found that are backward in the payment of their debts.
But as you might hear them talkin' about hermits here, I thought I'd tell you just what sort of things they are." When a strange young man assisted Matlack at the supper-table that evening, Mr. Archibald asked what had become of Martin. "Peter Sadler has sent him away," answered the guide. "I don't know where he sent him or what he sent him for.
Sadler was one of Mary's most gentle and courteous warders, and he spoke of her with much kindness, regretting that her health had again begun to suffer from the approach of winter, and far more from disappointment. The negotiation with Scotland on her behalf was now known to have been abortive.
In spite of these evils, we believe in the goodness of God. Why may we not then continue to believe in his goodness, though another evil should be added to the list? How does Mr Sadler answer this? Merely by telling us, that we are too wicked to be reasoned with.
We had to go round a little promontory. There was also a good deal of rain, which cooled the air considerably. We were the guests of Colonel Hayes Sadler, in his hospitable Residency, and he interested himself kindly in our affairs, giving us all the help he could in our arrangements, as did also Dr. Jayaker, the Indian doctor.

Yet we must own that, though Mr Sadler has not risen to the level of Locke, he has done what was almost as difficult, if not as honourable he has fallen below his own. He is at best a bad writer. His arrangement is an elaborate confusion. His style has been constructed, with great care, in such a manner as to produce the least possible effect by means of the greatest possible number of words.
We are sorry to disturb Mr Sadler's complacency. But, in our opinion, this table completely disproves his whole principle. If we read the columns perpendicularly, indeed, they seem to be in his favour. But how stands the case if we read horizontally? Does Mr Sadler believe that, during the thirty years which elapsed between 1754 and 1784, the population of Prussia had been diminishing?
Archibald, upon which Peter Sadler exclaimed, "That settles that. Now then, here is another." Several other camps were considered, but it was the general conclusion that the one by the lake was the most desirable.
