_And now by way of Conclusion, I have only one thing more to add;
and that is a Request to all the Ingenious Lovers of Chymistry, that
they would not occasion this Work which I have undergone with so much
labour, and loss of time from my private Concerns, meerly for the good
of others, to redound to my own hurt; my meaning is, That I might not
be put to the charge and trouble of Letters about Curious Enquiries,
wherein I am to have not the least profit: This I mention, because
I have had divers such Letters come to my hands since I have been
about it, and that sometimes two or three very long ones with many
Queries, in one Week. Now should this continue, and I endeavour to
satisfie all the Doubts, and gratifie all the Curiosities of all such
non-considering persons, truly I should have no time besides what this
would take up, to provide for my self and Family. But notwithstanding
what I have said, if any Ingenious Person shall stand in need of my
Assistance, in preparing of any thing for him, or otherwise, wherein
I may have a reasonable recompence for my Time and Trouble, I will be
ready to give him the best assistance I can. For I am now but just
ready to receive a Writ of Ease from three Years daily labour and
care about this Work, and I would be willing to enjoy it some time,
that I might again with diligence apply my self to my Laboratory, the
effects of which, if God shall see good, may at one time, or other,
shew themselves to the World. In the mean time, I wish all Honest
and Ingenious Lovers of the Spagyrick Art, good success in their
Studies and Labours, that thence the Penuries and Miseries of Mankind,
especially of the sick, may be effectually remedied; that they may
Cooperate as Instruments with the great ends and providences of the
Almighty, to bring about that time, in which God shall be Glorified all
the World over, and Men live in a more serene and tranquil condition
than yet they have done, which shall always be the Desire and Prayers
of him that is a Lover of =Pyrotechny=, and Honourer of all true
Artists._
