The Epilogue.

Gentle Reader,

I Had intended much more in my love to young men, to have written by way of in∣struction, namely, a Dispensatory touching the precedent particulars, with somewhat also concerning the Cure of the French Disease, with symptomes thereof, namely, the Gonorea, the Bubo venerea, the Hernia Humoralis, &c. But time hath overtaken me, so that now I am forced to conclude, having run through the cares of sixty nine years; old age being an enemy to study, for my sight being weak∣ned, my memory much impaired, and my capacity utter∣ly unable to perform so hard a task, which will ask both large time, and much study to fulfil, and other occasions best known to my self, and some speciall reasons else∣where expressed in my precedent and subsequent work, to which I refer you, for the further satisfaction; I rest rea∣dy to do good so long as the Almighty pleaseth willing to be,

Thine in the Lord, J. W.
