“And that Ignorance nor Envy have no ground or power to report or suggest that what is here asserted of the Vertues and Excellences of this pretious Leaf and Drink hath more of design than truth, for the justification of himself and satisfaction of others, he hath here innumerated several Authors, who, in their Learned Works, have expressly written and asserted the same, and much more, in honour of this noble Leaf and Drink, _viz._, _Bontius_, _Riccius_, _Jarricus_, _Almeyda_, _Horstius_, _Alvarez Semeda_, _Martinious_ in his _China Atlas_, and _Alexander de Rhodes_ in his Voyage and Missions, in a large discourse of the ordering of this Leaf, and the many Vertues of the Drink, printed at _Paris_ 1653 part 10. Chap. 13. “And to the end that all Persons of Eminency and Quality, Gentlemen and others who have occasion for _Tea_ in Leaf, may be supplyed, These are to give notice that the said _Thomas Garway_ hath _Tea_ to sell from sixteen to fifty Shillings the pound. “And whereas several Persons using _Coffee_, have been accustomed to buy the powder thereof by the pound, or in lesser, or greater quantities, which, if kept two dayes looseth much of its first Goodness. And, forasmuch as the Berries after drying may be kept, if need require for some Moneths; Therefore all persons living remote from _London_, and have occasion for the said powder, are advised to buy the said _Coffee_ Berries ready dryed, which being in a Morter beaten, or in a Mill ground to powder, as they use it, will so often be brisk, fresh, and fragrant, and in its full vigour and strength as if new prepared, to the great satisfaction of the Drinkers thereof, as hath been experienced by many in this City. Which Commodity of the best sort, the said _Thomas Garway_ hath alwayes ready dryed to be sold at reasonable Rates. “Also such as will have _Coffee_ in powder, or the Berries undryed, or _Chocolata_, may by the said _Thomas Garway_ be supplied to their content: With such further Instructions and perfect Directions how to use _Tea_, _Coffee_ and _Chocolata_, as is, or may be needful, and so as to be efficatious and operative, according to their several Vertues. “FINIS. “ADVERTISEMENT. That _Nicholas Brook_, living at the Sign of the _Frying-pan_ in St. _Tulies_ Street against the Church, is the only known man for the making of Mills for grinding of _Coffee_ powder; which Mills are by him sold from 40 to 45 shillings the Mill.” J.
