The Lady's Reply in case of no Prepossession, or that she chuses not to avow it.
SIR,
I am sorry to say, that my Disapprobation of your Address is insuperable— yet cannot I but think myself beholden to you for the Generosity of your Answer to my earnest Request. I must beg you, Sir, to give over your Application; but how can I say, while I cannot help being of this Mind, that it is or is not owing to Prepossession; when you declare, that, in the one Instance, (and that is very generous too) you will oblige me; but in the other you will not? If I cannot return Love for Love, be the Motive what it will, pray, Sir, for your own sake, as well as mine, discontinue your Address——In case of Prepossession, you say you can, and you will oblige me: Let my Unworthiness, Sir, have the same Effect upon you, as if that Prepossession were to be avow’d. This will inspire me with a Gratitude that will always make me
Your most obliged Servant.
