blazon or coat of arms Serenae veritatis gratia. THere having lately been scattered abroad by Richard Lowndes Bookseller, a scandalous Paper, touching those so Famous and long approved Lozenges, made and publicly sold by Theophilus Buckworth Gent. the first true Author and Inventor of them: the said Mr. Buckworth to vindicate himself from the scandalous aspersions of the said Paper, and to undeceive the people from the traducements of Lowndes, Peircy, and all other pretenders; doth publish this short paper to satisfy the World once for all, the whole truth; desiring all people hereby to rest satisfied, whatever untruths, or abusive pretences the said Lowndes, Peircy, or any of their Complices shall hereafter forge or imagine; the said Mr. Buckworth will rest silent; accounting them not worthy an answer: But to their late scandalous paper, Entitled, (An Advertisement of Concern to this City and the whole Kingdom.) Mr. Buckworth saith; That he never heard of any such man as Doctor Moor, nor believes that ever Peircy was his man. He denies not but that he did formerly inhabit at Saint Faiths near Norwich, and did sometimes employ his Stock and Servants in the Trade of Mal●ing, which he thinks is no disparagement to any Gentleman to do. Whiles he lived at Saint Faiths he knew such a man as Peircy, a person of such demeanour, as he never had, nor would have any intimacy with: and for making use of his Lozenges, or any thing that he should gain from Peircy, he utterly does abhor and detest: And for Peircy's being famous amongst the Nobility and Gentry in that Country, truly he never knew nor heard whiles he lived there, but his intimacy was with Tapsters and Ostlers, and such like persons: and for his Lozenges, there is a Gentleman hath a Receipt of them, written with Peircy's own hand, with whom Mr. Buckworth hopes to prevail to get Printed, to let the World see what his Lozenges are. The said Mr. Theophilus Buckworth, and his Brother Edmund Buckworth, have made these Lozenges above these Twenty four years. Lowndes in Saint Paul's Churchyard hath put Mr. Buckworths' Lozenges to sale for him, ever since the first publication of them, many years before ever Peircy was heard of; and the said Lowndes lately Printed a Bill himself, to vindicate Mr. ●●●●●orth; and thereby published the said Peircy to be a Cheat and a Counterfeit, and his Lozenges dangerous; and for that cause the said Lowndes preferred a Bill of Indictment against Peircy, in Mr. Buckworths' name at the Sessions, without his consent or knowledge. The said Lowndes would never have taken part with Peircy, but because Mr. Buckworth would not let him have his Lozenges at so mean a rate as Peircy doth. The said Lowndes came to Mr. Buckworth, and asked him if he would allow him a pound of Lozenges more into ten pounds' worth; which Mr. Buckworth denying him, well saith Lowndes, than I will sell Peircy's, for I can have his cheaper: and being told that Peircy's Lozenges were not so good as Buckworths, his answer was, he cared not, his Sign was the White Lion still, and his Shop was so generally known the Kingdom through, for selling Lozenges, that he could ven● them if they were Brickbats. That since Mr. Buckworth would not consent to Lowndes his demands, he hath confederated with Peircy; and in Peircy's name it is true they have contrived a Bill of Indictment against Mr. Buckworth: but it is false to say he never appeared to justify himself; for (notwithstanding he hath lately been very week with sickness) he appeared, and hath defended it, and is prosecuting his Traverse in the King's Bench. This is briefly the whole truth of all transactions, since the original making and publication of the said Lozenges by Mr. Buckworth: if any desire further satisfaction, the Author Mr. Buckworth lodgeth at the house of Mr. Thomas Rooks a Stationer, at the Holy Lamb at the East end of Saint Paul's Church near the School, where he will give them a more clear information, and there his said Lozenges are always ready to be sold.
