This whole Account is concluded with an Admonition, that all

Abundms caiittlamn nocet r is a Maxime very ft to be minded* 
here • though feveral fuccesful Experiments have been made in 
London^ of very plentiful Translations •, and among others (to

Before we difmifs this Subject, fomething is to be faid of the'
