[127]_Happy the Man, who from Ambition freed,_
_A little Garden, little Field does feed._

_The specious Evils of an anxious Life,_
_He leaves to Fools to be their endless Strife_.

O Fortunatos nimium bona si sua norint Horticulos!

Tho' _it was far from our first Intention to charge this small Volume

3. Mushroom. _Chuse the small, firm and white Buttons_, growing _upon

the upper Skin, and pare away all the black spungy Bottom part; then
slice them in quarters, and cast them in Water a while to cleanse: Then
Boil them in fresh Water, and a little sweet Butter; (some boil them a
