In this Paragraph _Farnner_ openly betrays his vanity, bragging, and
hellish calumny, in reprehending the industry and labour of good men,
and boasteth of a more firm foundation than perhaps I know of; whence
it will appear to any man of Understanding, what this most ungrateful
of men would be at, namely, which is the only thing he can do, he would
do what he could to bring those Secrets I intrusted him with into
contempt with all men, and introduce his own foolish trifles.
First, he saies, _Glauber_’s _Alkahest_, and presently subjoins another
and better foundation or way of preparing it: which if he points at
any thing but my Alkahest, why then does not he forbear mentioning
and contemning my Alkahest? for he does contemn it, and endeavours to
prove, that that way or fundamental is unknown to me. Now he exposes it
to sale at fifty R. Dollers.
