law to regulate the practice of phyllck and
fuFgery in the province of New erley, a
greeable TO the petitions of f3me thouiands
of the freeholders and principal inhabitants.
A law which would have been replete with
many evils, to the utter fubveriion of the /
ufetul lociety of qlacks empires, mounte-
banks, tumblers, fools and erryAndrews Il
and manifefty tending to the encouragement
of the injurious tribe of honef phyficians

infamous burgeGes of The colony of Virginia,
when they gave up the Liberties of their con
Gituents in bafely reiiliing the ffamp -aa, by
