An Apology to those Ingenuous Persons, who frequent the Coffee-house, for this description.
THe Describer knows, there are several Virtuosi and Ingenuosi, resort to the Coffee-house, whom, he hath the honour to be acquainted with, others are his Friends. Yet all the Elements here being confusedly mixt, this House ap∣pears to him as a meer Chaos, so that (in contemplating it) he cannot prefer even Light before Darkness, not being here separated or distinguishable one from another, amidst confu∣sion it self.
Verbum sat.
