<P>WHereas this Author, <HI>Henry Adis,</HI> late of <HI>Covent-Garden</HI>
Vpholder, being impri&s;oned in the Tow|er
chamber of the Fleet, <HI>by an Arbytrarie power: and mo&s;t
unju&s;tly turned out of his hou&s;e, and ruined by that power|ful
Man of our times, the honourable</HI> William Lenthal,
<HI>E&s;quire,</HI> not as he is Speaker of the Honourable Hou&s;e
of Commons, but as he is a <HI>Commi&s;sioner</HI> for the cu&s;to|die
of the <HI>great Seal, and Master of the Rolls.</HI> And be|ing
denied the benefit of going abroad with his keeper
<HI>by him</HI> (though petitioned for) &s;o that he cannot have
any benefit of his Trade and Cu&s;tomers, who for the
pre&s;ent relief of him&s;elf, his wife, and three &s;mall chil|dren,
was lately enforced to publish in print &s;ome of
tho&s;e Arts which it hath plea&s;ed God to endow him
with; among&s;t which are the&s;e en&s;uing, which have been
found very commodious and beneficial to all that have
u&s;ed him therein, <HI>viz.</HI></P>
<P>He hath found out a new way by fire to purge out all
manner of grea&s;e, wax, oil, or other &s;pots of &s;weet meats,
Ale, Beer, or Wine, or any other filth or &s;oil, out of
wearing apparel, or other things, without &s;labb'ring or
wetting them, &s;o that the colour shall not be thereby en|dangered,
though not in grain, and with that expedition,
that if he have a &s;uit over night, it shall (if nece&s;&s;ity re|quire)
be re&s;tored by the next morning compleatly
clean&s;ed, and as well over all the &s;uit, as the &s;potted pla|ces;
&s;o that the whole garment shall be well nigh as
fresh as at fir&s;t: and as &s;peedily all clothes of Leather.</P>
<P>He al&s;o cottoneth Fri&s;e, Bayes, or Peni&s;tone in gar|ments,
without taking them to pieces: and al&s;o rai&s;eth a
wool upon Cloth or Stuffes in &s;uits that are not too low
worn upon the thred; &s;o that if he have a &s;uit but about
<PB REF="8" MS="y">
half worn, he bringeth it to a very good perfection; yet
if never &s;o low worn, he &s;o clen&s;eth and ordreth it, that it
may be long worn with credit.</P>
<P>By the fore&s;aid Art he al&s;o doth as much in Silks,
Sattins, Taffates, and Velvets, as ever was done by any,
to clen&s;e it from grea&s;e, wax, or oyl, which he doth in
wearing apparel, or otherwi&s;e.</P>
<P>By which Art al&s;o he refresheth &s;ilver and gold lace,
or fringe upon wearing apparel, beds, or other things,
though never &s;o black and tarnished, and bringeth it to a
very good lu&s;tre, and to continue long.</P>
<P>All which by rea&s;on of the expedition and ea&s;ie charge
hath and will be accounted very commodious for peo|ple
of all ranks and qualities; e&s;pecially tho&s;e who are
de&s;irous to wear their apparel neat and clean, and are
not willing in the&s;e di&s;tracted and hard times to make
new, or be&s;tow much in altering tho&s;e they have.</P>
<P>He al&s;o &s;coureth, refresheth, and mendeth all &s;orts of
Tape&s;try, Turkey-work, or Needle-works, and riddeth
them clean from moths.</P>
