Mrffi'n PRINTERS,
SINCE it is the maxim of your p^ 6 publish
any thing for any one for pay, so they give up
their name ; in justice to myFliai d merely to show
the egregious faifi:y of the lowed of 1 belt that late
ly appeared in a band bril, addeffed " To these
who piffle to read," fitted " Ethan Alien," I
ihufl exp<& a place for the following reply, to only
two or ihree of the ranked particular!, which being
deeded the red will make no impression; especially
ar the author fa'.ds alone without the least support,
except what the fludy es philosophy hath enabled to
furrufh.

ly received a fcw counterfeit 48s. bills, of the lite
rc6 of those emitted by the Massachusetts State :---
My sole in cation was to apprize mankind that those
brils were counterfeited, and to put them on their
gua.d : That I gave full fatisfiAion to the supreme
authority rs this S-ate, in this matter, is a well
