Kivington, entitled the Country Fanner, which " seems to be calculated to tln-ow all into confusion, " & to no other end ; and artfully to gain his point, " as a Fanner, he addresses himself to the Farmers, " and their wives ; he tells the latter, they cannot " treat a neighbour with a dish of tea ; and that will " be a dreailful thing indeed ; to tlie former, hesaith, " their jiroduce will rot on tlieir hands, and they can- " not ])ay their weaver, &c. Being a ]\eaver myself, " and tho' they be generally poor, still they are as " useful a set of men, as any in the world, and so will remain, as long as, from the King to the peasant, " all are born naked. 1 therefore, would beg leave

" to say a word in answer to our pretended Farmer, " and make no doubt but the lowness of stile I shall " speak in, will be excused, when it is considered that " a man may be a profound Weaver, and no gram- " mariau ; and being a useful branch of mankind as " above, ought to have the privilege of speaking in " his own stile. If so, then my first answer to our " Farmer is, that we Weavers, and I believe I may " say most of other trades too, cannot live without " meat, bread and clothing, all which I shall gladly " take in exchange for my labour ; and If I could " earn more at the year's end, than a supply for my " family, I would be content, (at this troublesome " period, which our Farmer sets up for such a terror) " to have my employer say to my creditor. / owe " the Weaver so much, which I will engage to pay to you, " when I can sell my produce.
