| ual Dictator.
| The Society had design'd to present the
Publick with his Ef6gies, but that the Llmner,
| to whom he was presented for Draught OF
his Coun.enance, descryed (and this he is
ready to offer upon Oath) Nineteen Features
| in his Face, more than ever he beheld in any
| Humane Visage before which 20 raised the
| Price of his Picture, that our Master himself
| forbid the Extravaganza OF coming up TO it.
And then besides, the Limner objected Sch
| ism in his face, which splits i. from his Fore
head in straight Line down to his Chin, in
such sort, that Mr.. Painter protests II is a
double Face and he'll have Four Pounds for
the Pouraiture However tho this doub lie
Face has spoilt of pretty Picture. yet we
all reloiced TO see old Janus in our Company.
