Arguments to difluade the found Man from 
the Support of his Life, or deprive the 
Sick of the Hopes of his Recovery ? As

Men againft a Liquor that is always highly 
advantageous to the Strong and Adtive, and 
in fome Cafes beneficial to the Weak and 
Sickly.

In fine, if any one impute what I have 
faid in Behalf of Malt Liquors, to Partia- 
lity, and Prejudice for my own Country, I 
fhould not think I had any mighty Reafon 
to be afhamed of the Imputation. But in 
Truth, I have confidered and enquired in- 
to this Matter, with all the Indifference of 
a Foreigner, as believing myfelf obliged to 
be more folicitous to promote the Health 
and Long-life of my Countrymen, than 
the Honour of our Climate, or the Credit 
of Britijh Liquor. But though that was, 
and ought to be uppermoft in my Inten- 
tions, yet it would be an additional Plea- 
fure to me, if, while I was aiming at the 
former, I fhould have contributed any thing 
to the lattter.
