`` The Captain , who did not fail to meet me there at the appointed Hour , bid Sir Roger fear nothing , for that he had put on the same Sword which he made use of at the Battle of _ Steenkirk _ . Sir Roger 's Servants , and among the rest my old Friend the Butler , had , I found , provided themselves with good oaken Plants to attend their Master upon this occasion . When we had placed him in his Coach , with myself at his left hand , the Captain before him , and his Butler at the Head of his Footmen in the Rear , we convoyed him in safety to the Playhouse .

'' -LSB- 143 -RSB- These men were taken about a year later . `` I have been in town for a day or two , and heard no conversation but about M'Lean , a fashionable highwayman , who is just taken , and who robbed me among others . * * * His father was an Irish Dean ; his brother is a Calvinist minister in great esteem at the Hague .
