POSTSCRIPT.
If any time you have to spare,
Unto booksellers shops repair,
Where you your choice of books will find,
By which you may improve your mind;
And what you fancy take away,
And for each night what's custom pay:
No time nor cost can better be
Spent, than in dead men's company.

Take care what books you chuse to read,
So that they alter not your creed;
For books of heresies delude,
And do more evil far than good.
So that they alter not your creed;
For books of heresies delude,
And do more evil far than good.
But innocent diversions may
Sometimes perhaps come in your way;
Take part thereof, not to excess,
They will your spirits much refresh.
