A16823	The pisse-prophet, or, Certaine pisse-pot lectures Wherein are newly discovered the old fallacies, deceit, and jugling of the pisse-pot science, used by all those (whether quacks and empiricks, or other methodicall physicians) who pretend knowledge of diseases, by the urine, in giving judgement of the same. By Tho. Brian, M.P. lately in the citie of London, and now in Colchester in Essex. Never heretofore published by any man in the English tongue.

fast_o as_o ever_o i_o can_v make_v my_o tongue_n belie_v my_o heart_n and_o with_o this_o description_n i_o have_v make_v the_o messenger_n admire_v my_o readiness_n and_o skill_n in_o judge_v of_o urine_n and_o he_o very_o believe_v that_o i_o have_v espy_v these_o thing_n in_o the_o water_n but_o it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o for_o these_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v reckon_v up_o be_v but_o the_o usual_a symptom_n and_o companion_n of_o a_o fever_n and_o the_o most_o of_o they_o be_v join_v with_o every_o fever_n and_o all_o of_o they_o and_o many_o more_o at_o once_o be_v complicate_v with_o many_o a_o fever_n these_o thing_n be_v so_o i_o can_v but_o have_v hit_v the_o nail_n on_o the_o head_n for_o some_o of_o those_o symptom_n that_o i_o have_v reckon_v up_o must_v needs_o accompany_v the_o disease_n and_o when_o i_o have_v once_o name_v they_o the_o messenger_n present_o answer_v that_o the_o party_n be_v just_a so_o affect_v as_o i_o have_v say_v but_o as_o yet_o i_o have_v not_o name_v the_o disease_n and_o perhaps_o omit_v something_o which_o be_v expect_v that_o i_o shall_v have_v name_v and_o the_o messenger_n be_v as_o ready_a then_o to_o ask_v i_o if_o i_o perceive_v nothing_o else_o by_o the_o water_n as_o i_o be_v to_o pronounce_v my_o judgement_n of_o it_o before_o to_o who_o i_o answer_v yes_o if_o you_o will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o and_o then_o perchance_o ask_v i_o if_o i_o do_v not_o perceive_v a_o stitch_n and_o whether_o the_o party_n have_v not_o a_o pleurisy_n i_o answer_v look_v upon_o the_o water_n as_o if_o it_o be_v there_o to_o be_v perceive_v yes_o i_o well_o perceive_v the_o stitch_n and_o some_o cough_n too_o and_o i_o say_v that_o when_o the_o cough_n take_v the_o party_n the_o party_n be_v much_o pain_v in_o the_o side_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o i_o do_v not_o name_v the_o stitch_n at_o first_o i_o tell_v the_o messenger_n that_o we_o use_v first_o to_o declare_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o disease_n before_o we_o come_v to_o every_o passion_n or_o affect_v of_o the_o disease_n or_o before_o we_o name_v it_o i_o further_o add_v that_o i_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o stitch_n no_o nor_o shall_v never_o have_v find_v it_o out_o of_o the_o water_n have_v not_o the_o messenger_n bolt_v it_o out_o because_o i_o have_v name_v the_o cause_n thereof_o namely_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o stomach_n and_o obstruction_n of_o the_o spleen_n and_o mesentery_a and_o that_o the_o stitch_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o flatuous_a and_o windy_a humour_n proceed_v from_o thence_o to_o the_o place_n affect_v so_o now_o i_o determine_v the_o disease_n to_o be_v as_o they_o suppose_v a_o pleurisy_n and_o indeed_o they_o can_v better_o define_v their_o own_o disease_n by_o the_o symptom_n and_o passion_n that_o they_o suffer_v than_o any_o physician_n can_v do_v by_o the_o water_n only_o but_o now_o as_o i_o have_v be_v happy_a in_o my_o prediction_n of_o the_o disease_n and_o right_o determine_v it_o to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v indeed_o a_o pleurisy_n so_o now_o i_o must_v proceed_v to_o the_o prescription_n as_o it_o be_v require_v of_o such_o remedy_n as_o may_v cure_v this_o pleurisy_n and_o now_o i_o be_o here_o as_o far_o to_o seek_v though_o i_o know_v the_o disease_n to_o be_v a_o pleurisy_n as_o if_o i_o know_v not_o the_o disease_n at_o all_o nor_o have_v see_v the_o urine_n because_o i_o do_v not_o therein_o perceive_v the_o scope_n and_o ground_n of_o prescribe_v fit_a remedy_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o art_n in_o every_o respect_n proper_a to_o the_o disease_n cure_v the_o which_o scope_n and_o ground_n be_v these_o namely_o the_o party_n age_n the_o sex_n the_o constitution_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o strength_n of_o it_o at_o this_o time_n with_o divers_a other_o accident_n as_o whether_o the_o party_n be_v bind_v in_o his_o body_n or_o have_v a_o flux_n and_o scour_n or_o the_o like_a all_o the_o which_o nor_o any_o one_o of_o they_o can_v be_v discern_v by_o the_o urine_n &_o yet_o i_o must_v find_v they_o there_o if_o the_o messenger_n refuse_v to_o tell_v i_o but_o that_o they_o seldom_o refuse_v to_o do_v after_o that_o i_o have_v give_v they_o a_o description_n of_o the_o disease_n and_o show_v they_o in_o some_o part_n how_o the_o party_n be_v affect_v or_o else_o i_o must_v needs_o err_v in_o my_o prescription_n for_o if_o i_o shall_v prescribe_v not_o know_v the_o age_n of_o the_o party_n such_o a_o quantity_n of_o blood_n to_o be_v take_v away_o from_o a_o young_a youth_n suppose_n ten_o or_o twelve_o ounce_n in_o a_o pleurisy_n which_o be_v the_o disease_n in_o hand_n as_o shall_v be_v take_v from_o a_o man_n in_o his_o full_a strength_n the_o party_n may_v perish_v thereby_o or_o if_o i_o shall_v take_v but_o four_o or_o five_o ounce_n of_o blood_n from_o a_o lusty_a young_a man_n in_o this_o disease_n at_o his_o full_a strength_n i_o shall_v do_v he_o no_o good_a and_o so_o he_o may_v perish_v on_o the_o other_o side_n i_o may_v likewise_o err_v in_o the_o dose_n if_o not_o know_v the_o party_n age_n i_o shall_v prescribe_v more_o or_o less_o than_o be_v proportionable_a to_o the_o party_n age_n in_o prescribe_v purge_a potion_n or_o clyster_n in_o this_o case_n i_o may_v likewise_o commit_v no_o less_o error_n if_o not_o know_v the_o sex_n i_o shall_v in_o the_o forename_a disease_n prescribe_v blood-letting_n to_o a_o woman_n her_o natural_a course_n be_v break_v forth_o upon_o she_o for_o i_o may_v by_o that_o accident_n expect_v a_o solution_n of_o the_o disease_n without_o blood-letting_n i_o may_v likewise_o err_v if_o know_v the_o sex_n i_o shall_v prescribe_v purge_v physic_n for_o a_o woman_n in_o this_o case_n not_o know_v whether_o she_o be_v with_o child_n or_o no_o of_o such_o a_o quality_n as_o may_v cause_v she_o to_o miscarry_v i_o may_v err_v concern_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o body_n if_o i_o shall_v not_o know_v the_o same_o prescribe_v that_o for_o a_o weak_o constitution_n of_o body_n which_o be_v fit_a for_o a_o robustuous_a and_o strong_a constitution_n and_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_n i_o may_v likewise_o err_v if_o i_o shall_v not_o know_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o body_n at_o this_o time_n prescribe_v too_o strong_a a_o potion_n or_o too_o much_o blood_n to_o be_v take_v away_o when_o the_o disease_n have_v overcome_v the_o strength_n and_o the_o party_n be_v too_o much_o debilitate_a or_o if_o i_o shall_v prescribe_v too_o gentle_a a_o potion_n or_o too_o little_a blood_n to_o be_v take_v away_o when_o the_o strength_n be_v not_o yet_o deject_v but_o stand_v in_o equal_a contestation_n with_o the_o disease_n i_o can_v show_v a_o thousand_o way_n more_o how_o i_o can_v err_v and_o how_o most_o physician_n do_v err_v that_o prescribe_v physic_n by_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o urine_n only_o but_o my_o intent_n be_v to_o show_v how_o many_o thousand_o way_n i_o can_v deceive_v thou_o and_o make_v thou_o believe_v that_o i_o discern_v all_o these_o thing_n by_o the_o urine_n as_o thou_o think_v i_o do_v namely_o the_o disease_n the_o party_n age_n sex_n strength_n constitution_n of_o body_n and_o the_o like_a i_o have_v therefore_o digress_v herein_o from_o my_o purpose_n since_o my_o intent_n be_v not_o to_o show_v the_o error_n that_o be_v commit_v by_o such_o as_o pretend_v knowledge_n of_o disease_n by_o the_o urine_n but_o to_o show_v the_o fallacy_n and_o juggle_a that_o they_o use_v in_o give_v judgement_n of_o it_o and_o so_o frustrate_v thy_o expectation_n of_o this_o dainty_a art_n but_o i_o hope_v it_o shall_v be_v to_o thy_o profit_n for_o thou_o shall_v hereby_o be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o give_v thy_o physician_n such_o instruction_n as_o he_o shall_v require_v and_o shall_v perceive_v the_o danger_n of_o take_v physic_n prescribe_v by_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o urine_n only_o and_o now_o to_o the_o purpose_n indeed_o but_o first_o imagine_v with_o i_o that_o the_o last_o messenger_n have_v receive_v good_a satisfaction_n by_o the_o description_n of_o the_o party_n disease_n for_o who_o he_o come_v be_v ready_a to_o certify_v i_o of_o all_o the_o forename_a circumstance_n that_o be_v requisite_a for_o i_o to_o inquire_v of_o as_o the_o party_n age_n sex_n constitution_n of_o body_n present_a strength_n how_o long_o the_o party_n have_v be_v sick_a etc._n etc._n and_o i_o have_v send_v he_o away_o with_o pleurisy_n such_o remedy_n as_o be_v most_o proper_a for_o his_o pleurisy_n direction_n for_o blood-letting_n to_o mitigate_v his_o fever_n some_o pectorall_a physic_n to_o ease_v his_o cough_n with_o a_o lineament_n to_o mollify_v and_o to_o dispel_v wind_n to_o anoint_v his_o
