ALthough our felf is not of the Theomagical Order of the Holy Kofte Crofs 5 yet we have been very ftudious and curious in fearching out their fecrct My- ftcrious Learning near twenty years : befides, we have fervedas a Clerk five yesirs in Cliffords-lKne^ and now in Terme-time we follow the praftice of aaAtturney in the KingS'hemh at Weftmivihr, But this is our Vacati- on-Recreation, and it is profitable to our Praftice in the Law J and by thefe Arts we gain credit : for we will un- dertake no caufe that fhall go againft us 5 let the Plaintiif or Defendant pretend what they will, we know before- hand what good orevii willendthebufinefs5 and fa we (contrary to others) endeavour peace, fave money and trouble ; yet we do not profefs our felf a Scholar, but a Gentleman, and that very fewArtiftscan do, &c.
And thefe Studies and Aftions are natural to us^ as you may fee by this Nativity following.
