POSTSCRIPT.

THere is one thing more which may not be improper to be taken notice of, though I had once thought to have passed it over with a slight hint in p. 42. but upon a second consideration, concluded it might be of some Service (tho' it be but a small matter, and there are so many greater matters to be found fault with in his Book) to shew that A. B is as foolish as conceited. I did intend to have inserted this in p. 42. where it is something touched upon before; but I being in the Country, it came too late to the Printer's Hand, and therefore it is added by way of Postscript. 'Tis his Etcetera's which (having leisure) I did for curiosity cast up, where I found such an unusual plenty of them in his Book, that there are fifteen of them in some single pages, and near three hundred of them in the whole Book, though it be not eight, sheets of Print; some whereof are very insignificant and impertinently added: As for Ex∣ample, p. 40. speaking concerning the Widow Bunce's Son, he says, He went to the Priest for a Wise, &c. What would he have his Reader think he went for besides a Wife? For his Etcetera implies something more than a Wife. Again, in p. 3. l. 45. he says, he with the rest, &c. did: Which is as proper as if he had said he with the rest and the rest did. So p. 42. l. 4. Meeting with him at Gra∣cious-street Meeting at the time of the Yearly Meeting, &c. So p. 18. There ended the matter as the full and result of all and the whole, &c. (viz. the rest besides the whole) see also Epist. p. 9. again in p 44. l. 14.15. Any Nation, Country, Kingdom or Place whatsoever throughout the whole World, &c. Nay so filly is he as to put in, or cause to put in with a Pen these useless Etceteras in divers places where the Printer had the Discretion to leave them out, as in the page last cited and some others.
