He was one, and the chief of them, in ushering forth the Book of Coriats Crudities, writing not only a Character of the Author, an explanation of his Frontispiece, but also an Acrostick upon his Name, which for the sutableness of it, (tho' we have written something of others mock Verses) we shall here insert it.
Try and trust Roger, was the word, but now
Honest Tom Tell-troth puts down Roger, How?
Of travel he discourseth so at large,

Of Tom of Odcombe, that odd jovial Author,
Rather his son I should have call'd thee, why?
