XXIV. The Pamphleteers have plunder'd many Pockets, not overcharg'd with Money.
Two-penny Works (when Hawkers cry 'em)
What Man on Earth can chuse but buy 'em?
Therefore Expences to prevent,
I have at last resolv'd to print:
Buy this one Tract, and read it o'er,
And you will ne're want any more.
Here C---r's Doctrine is confuted,
Whate'er was, or shall be disputed,
From Adam down to us, and so
As far as Time himself can go.

N. B. If the Ingenious and Learned World shall take it into their Heads to be so obliging, as to be prodigiously fond of this small Tract; the Author, perhaps, may one Time or other think fit, by Way of Enlargement, to throw into it a wonderful deal of Wit and Jocosity; and will, at his own Expence, stuff it out with vast Variety of uncommon Erudition.
