RARE, ESTC listing 2 copies only (British Library and Yale only) of this edition, which is a re-issue with same pagination but cancel title as the first edition of 1669, for which ESTC records only one copy (Cambridge University). The History of Moderation purports to be a discourse written by Hesychius Pamphilus "in the native language of Feliciniana, a language peculiar to that Island", relating to the life of "Moderation" in which are introduced characters such as "Blandula, a fair spoken woman", "Donna Olympia, a Roman Lady, who lately managed all Affairs for the Pope", "Donna Spatulosa, a lascivious Lady", "Philautos, one that loves himself", and "Porne, a Harlot".
