I am against giving a Gentleman (who has ennobled himself, by reforming his Vices, and rewarding the Worth of the _Friendless_) the unnecessary new Toy of a _Title_. It is all strong in Nature, as it stands in the Letters: and I don’t see how Greatness, from Titles, can add Likeness or Power, to the Passions. So complete a Resemblance of _Truth_ stands in need of no borrow’d Pretensions. The Only of this Writer’s Objections, which, I think, carries Weight, is That, which advises some little _Contraction_ of the Prayers, and Appeals to the Deity. I say _little_ Contraction: for they are nobly and sincerely pathetic. And I say it only in Fear, lest, if fansied too long, by the fashionably _Averse_ to the Subject, Minds, which most want the _purpos’d Impression_, might hazard the _Loss_ of its _Benefit_, by passing over those pious Reflections, which, if shorter, would catch their Attention. Certainly, the Gentleman’s Objection against the Persecution that _Pamela_ suffers from lady _Davers_, in respect to the Relation this Madwoman bears to the _Brother_, is the [4th & 5th, change 5.] {rashest} of All his Advices! And when he thinks she ought rather to have assum’d the Protection of her Servants, he seems unaware of the probable _Consequence_; where there was a Puppy, of Quality, in the Case, who had, even without Provocation, drawn his Sword on the poor passive PAMELA. Far from bearing a Thought of exciting an abler Resentment, to the Danger of a Quarrel with so worthless a Coxcomb, how charmingly natural, apprehensive, and generous, is her Silence (during the Recital she makes of her Sufferings) with regard to this _masculine_ Part of the Insult! as also her Prevention of Mrs. _Jewkes_’s less delicate Bluntness, when she was beginning to complain of the whelp Lord’s Impertinence! If I were not afraid of a _Pun_, I shou’d tell the anonymous Letter-writer, that he made a too _tight-laced_ Objection, where he quarrels with the spann’d Waist of _Pamela_. What, in the Name of Unshapeliness! cou’d he find, to complain of, in a beautiful Girl of Sixteen, who was born _out of Germany_, and had not, yet, reach’d ungraspable _Roundness_!----These are wonderful Sinkings from Purpose, where a Man is considering such mental, and passionate Beauties, as this Gentleman profess’d to be touch’d by!
