Louis, Fort Kiel, and New Brisac shall be demolished, and all the fortifications from Basle to Philipsburg.  The King of Prussia shall remain in the peaceable possession of Neufchatel.  The affair of Orange, as also the pretensions of his Prussian Majesty in the French Comte, shall be determined at this general negotiation of peace.  The Duke of Savoy shall have a restitution made of all that has been taken from him by the French, and remain master of Exilles, Chamont, Fenestrelles, and the Valley of Pragelas.[248]

[Footnote 237:  John Case, astrologer and friend of John Partridge, succeeded to Saffold’s habitation in Blackfriars gateway, opposite to Ludgate Church, whence he issued many advertisements.  “Their old physician begged they would not forget him—­he gives his advice for nothing—­his cures are private.  At Lilly’s Head, &c., is the only place to obtain health, long life, and happiness, by your old friend Dr. Case, who extirpates the foundation of all diseases”: 

    “At the Golden Ball and Lillie’s Head
    John Case lives though Saffold’s dead.”

His handbills were commonly adorned with a variety of emblematic devices and poetry.  See note on Kirleus, in No. 14; and Nos. 216, 240.  Case’s most important book was his “Compendium Anatomicum nova methodo institutum,” 1695.]

[Footnote 244:  Mrs. Katherine Tofts sang in English to Nicolini’s Italian, in Buononcini’s opera of “Camilla,” but this absurdity was forgiven on account of the charm of their voices.  In 1709, in the height of her beauty, Mrs. Tofts left the stage, owing to her intellect becoming disordered; but afterwards she married Mr. Joseph Smith, a gentleman who lived in great state; but his wife’s mind again gave way, and she spent hours walking and singing in a garden attached to a remote part of the house.  She died in 1760.  See Spectator, Nos. 18, 22 and 443, where there is a letter purporting to be from Mrs. Tofts, at Venice.]
