Of the Pretended
Alias WILLIAM MORREL, alias BOWYER, &c.
ADVERTISEMENT.
The Publick undoubtedly cannot be better entertained, than by the following Relation, of one of the most notorious Cheats as has been known in an Age, which has already made a very amazing Noise in the Town and the Particulars whereof, may be no disacceptable Entertainment.
But, as Providence was pleased to order it, his Reign was ordain'd to be but short; for he soon fell into a languishing Sickness, in which time neither Doctor, Apothecary, Nurse, or any other Assistance was wanting.
Now I must do the Family this Right, That notwithstanding the great Sums they gain'd by so ample a Testament, and such bounteous Legacies, however their sorrow for the lamented Departure of so worthy a Gentleman was very hearty and cordial: Nay, some are of Opinion, that instead of diminishing theirs, on the contrary is daily encreasing.
But perhaps nothing was so unkind as excluding the poor Prentice from visiting the sick Gentleman. For, alas, the poor Boy has been heard most dolefully to bewail the unkindness of his Master; for undoubtedly the worthy Gentleman would have left him enough to have set him up, had he been amongst the Throng of Visitants, who all tasted so highly of his extravagant Liberality.
