POSTSCRIPT.

THe Author is far from any intention to Bespatter the noble Art of Healing, or any of its Learned or Honest Ingenious Professors, or to undervalue the most Pleasant and useful Study of Chymistry, or gratify Monopolies in learning, or stinted Methods of formal Ignorance; tis the illiterate frontless and dangerous Pretender he would expose to deserved contempt; the sordid passions of envy at any mans Gains, or malice to particular Persons hav∣ing no Influence on his Pen, he wishes (as the Ʋnicorn is never seen but in Painting) such a Quack might be no where found but in this Idaea, and then where nobody is concern'd, no body can with reason complain, but if any Conscious Dons shall acknowledg the Picture to be theirs, and think themselves intended, he frankly tells them, they are the Persons meant indeed.

Innocuos permitte Sales, Cur Ludere nobis Non Liceat, Licuit, si Jugulare tibi?
