            Worldly Motives were the wicked and base Reasons of my concealing
        this from you so long; to reveal it now I can have no Inducement but the
        Desire of serving the Cause of Truth, of doing Right to the Innocent,
        and of making all the Amends in my Power for a past Offence. I hope this
        Declaration therefore will have the Effect desired, and will restore
        this deserving young Man to your Favour; the hearing of which, while I
        am yet alive, will afford the utmost Consolation to,
Sir,
You r most obliged,
Obedient humble Servant,
                                                                 Thomas Square.«
 
The Reader will, after this, scarce wonder at the Revolution so visibly
appearing in Mr. Allworthy, notwithstanding he received from Thwackum, by the

that Gentleman.
 
        »Sir,
            I am not at all surprized at hearing from your worthy Nephew a fresh
        Instance of the Villany of Mr. Square the Atheist's young Pupil. I shall
        not wonder at any Murders he may commit; and I heartily pray that your
        own Blood may not seal up his final Commitment to the Place of Wailing
        and gnashing of Teeth.
            Though you cannot want sufficient Calls to Repentance for the many
        unwarrantable Weaknesses exemplified in your Behaviour to this Wretch,
        so much to the Prejudice of your own lawful Family, and of your
        Character. I say, tho' these may sufficiently be supposed to prick and
        goad your Conscience at this Season; I should yet be wanting to my Duty,
        if I spared to give you some Admonition in order to bring you to a due
        Sense of your Errors. I therefore pray you seriously to consider the
        Judgment which is likely to overtake this wicked Villain; and let it
        serve at least as a Warning to you, that you may not for the future
        despise the Advice of one who is so indefatigable in his Prayers for
        your Welfare.
            Had not my Hand been withheld from due Correction, I had scourged
        much of this diabolical Spirit out of a Boy, of whom from his Infancy I
        discovered the Devil had taken such entire Possession; but Reflections
        of this Kind now come too late.
            I am sorry you have given away the Living of Westerton so hastily. I
        should have applied on that Occasion earlier, had I thought you would
        not have acquainted me previous to the Disposition. - Your Objection to
        Pluralities is being righteous overmuch. If there were any Crime in the
        Practice, so many godly Men would not agree to
