November the i6th, being (5) foli- 
cited by Dean Wilkins to tranllate his 
real CharaEier into Latin., heconfented

which is now in the Library of the 
Loyal Society, ready for the Prefs, if 
any Mcecenas Ihould have a Mind to 
jet it fee the Light. 
Having fpent the latter End of this 
Year, and the Beginning of 1668,
