If we may credit common report, there are several remote parts of the nation in which it is firmly believed, that all the churches in London are shut up; and that if any clergyman walks the streets in his habit, 'tis ten to one but he is knocked down by some sturdy schismatic .-- _Swift_.
No--but treated like a dog. No.8._Jan.16, 1715-16_ .-- _The Female Association._ _Addison_.
