Known therefore it should seem it is already
by myself: for one example; by our Author, for
another: by the man that sweeps our Chimney's

I can be the surest, I protest upon the word of an hon-

man, I can not find by any of the accounts I have the description given it
made written, that there is any such thing at all.
If he knows what it consists of, I amongst many
