4 L To Mr. SPECTATOR. The juft Remonftrance of affronted T HAT. HO' I deny not the Petition of Mr. Who and Which, yet You fhould not fuffer them to be rude and to call honeft People Names: For that bears very hard on fome of thofe Rules of Decency, which you are justly famous for eftablifbing. They may find Fault, and correct Speeches in the Senate and at the Bar: But let them try to get themselves fo often and with fo much Eloquence repeated in a Sentence, as a great Orator doth frequently introduce me. MY Lords! (fays he) with humble Submiffion, That that I fay is this: that, That that that Gentleman has advanced, is not That, that he should have proved to your Lordships. Let thofe two queftionary Petitioners try to do thus with their Who's and their Whiches. WHAT great Advantage was I of to Mr. Dryden in his Indian Emperor, You force me ftill to anfwer You in That, to furnish out a Rhyme to Morat? And what a poor Figure would Mr. Bayes have made without his Egad and all That? How can a judicious Man diftinguish one thing from another, without faying This here, or That there? And how can a fober Man without ufing the Expletives of Oaths (in which indeed the Rakes and Bullies have a great Advantage over others), make a Difcourfe of any tolerable Length, without That is; and if he be a very grave Man indeed, without That is to say? And how inftructive as well as entertaining are thofe ufual Expreffions, in the Mouths of great Men, Such Things as That and the like of That. I am not againft reforming the Corruptions of Speech You mention, and own there are proper Seafons for the < Introduction of other Words befides That; but I fcorn 4 as much to fupply the Place of a Who or a Which at every Turn, as they are unequal always to fill mine; and I expect good Language and civil Treatment, and hope to receive it for the future: That, that I fhall only add is, that I am, R Yours, THAT.
