So long as that was done, that labour would, I believe, seem to him the pleasanter which required the less thought. Nathan Bailey published his English Dictionary in 1721. 'Woolston, the scourge of scripture, mark with awe! And mighty Jacob, blunderbuss of law. The Dunciad, first ed., bk. iii. l. 149. Giles Jacob published a Law Dictionary in 1729. Ante, p. 393. A writer in the Gent.
"Do you think it possible, Bob, for us two to take care of the ship, should we even manage to get her into deep water again?" "Well, that is not so soon answered, Mr. Woolston," returned Bob. "We're both on us stout, and healthy, and of good courage, Mr.
Woolston answered, Good woman, I know you not; pray what have I done to offend you? You have writ against my Saviour, she said; what would become of my poor sinful soul if it was not for my dear Saviour?
Dr. Woolston had a competitor in another physician, who lived within a mile of him, and whose name was Yardley. Dr. Yardley was a very respectable person, had about the same degree of talents and knowledge as his neighbour and rival, but was much the richest man of the two. Dr. Yardley, however, had but one child, a daughter, whereas Dr. Woolston, with much less of means, had sons and daughters.

When the Rancocus sailed, therefore, she had no one on board her but Mark Woolston and Betts, with the exception of her proper crew. Her cargo was of no great intrinsic value, though it consisted in articles much used, and consequently in great demand, in the colony.
Doctor Woolston was sorely displeased, at first; but the event had that about it which would be apt to console a parent. Bridget was not only young, and affectionate, and beautiful, and truthful; but, according to the standard of Bristol, she was rich. There was consolation in all this, notwithstanding professional rivalry and personal dislikes.
Greater cleanliness, and the free use of fresh water, appear to have now arrested the course of this formidable disease, in the northern cities of America; but, in that day, it was of very frequent occurrence. Theories prevailed among the doctors concerning it, which were bitterly antagonistical to each other; and Doctor Woolston headed one party in Bucks, while Doctor Yardley headed another.
In the afternoon he endeavoured to shave, but the first effort convinced him he was getting well too fast. It was thrice twenty-four hours after his first bath, before Mark Woolston had sufficient strength to reach the galley and light a fire. In this he then succeeded, and he treated himself to a cup of good warm tea.
Woolston was satisfied that the greatest changes had occurred at the southward, as in the former convulsion, the group having sunk but a trifle compared with the Peak; nevertheless, every person, as well as thing, would seem to have been engulfed.
