sordid Interest the chief end of their Practice as most do For Physicians of all sorts of People should be the most Knowing the most Iust the most Charitable and the most Temperate But whatever Titles men may have or how many Books soever they may have tumbled over if they abandon the study of Virtue and Piety and aim at mercenary Lucre and vain Glory instead of doing Good to men and bringing Glory to God 't is vain to expect any benefit from such Peoples hands They are all as the Scripture saith in another case Physicians of no value nay they have not that Natural Distinguishing and Sense as is common to many Beasts for the man that is not directed by the Spirit of the Lord is an hundred fold more ignorant of the Operations of Nature than a Beast that lives under the Laws of Nature and therefore we see many Dumb Creatures have more Sense to discern what is for their Preservation than Men and Men have learned the Virtues of many Physical Herbs from them as the Tortoise when hunted by the Adder is said to fortifie himself by eating of Originum and the same is said of the Stork when she has eaten Snakes she seeks for the same Herb Originum and finds a Remedy it is also related that when the Weezle goes to fight with any poysonous Creature it first eats Rue whence men came to know that Originum and Rue are good Antidotes against Poyson so in some other Animals there is an in-bred skill and Medicinal Art as when the Toad is wounded 't is said she will go to Sage or Rue and rub the Wound and so escapes the Danger We are told that Swallows first taught us that Celendine is Medicinal for the Eyes being the same wherewith they cure the Eyes of their Young Ones The Pye when sick puts a Bay-leaf into her Nest and recovers So Cranes Daws Partridges Black-birds and Crows purge their sick Stomachs with the same It is reported If a Lion be sick he is recovered by eating of an Ape The Lapwing being surfeited cures her self with Southernwood the wounded Hart runs to his restorative Ditany Swine when stung by Snakes eat the Snakes and are well and Dogs when wounded cure themselves by continual licking of the Wound also they purge their nauseous Stomachs by eating of Grass as Cats do theirs by eating the Herb Nipp Philebotomy or Letting of Blood Physitians as is written learned this practice first of a Beast call'd Hyppopotamus living in the River Nilus which being of a ravenous Nature and therefore often overcharged with much eating is wont to seek in the Banks for some sharp stub of a Reed upon which pricking his Leg he thereby easeth his full Body stopping the bleeding afterward with Mud. So that some men who are curious in Observation have learned many Medicinal Virtues of Herbs from Brutes which they are led unto by a natural inclination which we call Instinct having always obeyed the Law of God in Nature and lived under the simple Influence and Operations thereof and do therefore retain those natural Faculties and Self-preservations which the Lord endued them with in the Creation But Man that was made but a little lower than the Angels and superior to all the Creatures of this sublunary World having transgressed both the Divine and Natural Law of God has thereby corrupted the Earth and all the Elements and made all its Inhabitants to mourn and groan by reason of his Violence and Oppression by which he hath depraved himself both of the Divine and Natural Understanding and has not the common Sense of distinguishing what is for their own preservation so well as many Brutes have which is much to be lamented that man should so prodigiously degrade dishonour and incaptivate himself There is another thing worthy to be considered by all men but more especially by those that apply themselves to Physick that the most celebrated Authors of that Art and such as have written of the Nature Virtues and Uses of Herbs Drugs Fruits Seeds and Grains and whose Rules and Prescriptions our Modern Doctors make the foundation of their Skill and the limits of their Practice were born and bred and lived in places far remote from us in other parts of the World and in different Climates whose Productions vary as much in Magnitude Forms and Qualities as one Colour does from another and as the Elevation of the Pole being either more Southern or Northern alters the Language or Speech and the Nature Shape Complexion Inclinations and Dispositions of the People and the more remote each Countrey is the greater is the Variation of their Constitutions and Manners and as all their Beasts Birds and Fish do differ in Name Nature Shape and Form the very same is to be understood of their Herbs Drugs Flowers Seeds Fruits and Grains they all differ both in their Virtues and Vices from ours and tho some of theirs may be and are translated and through a great deal or Care and Industry will grow yet still they are not so Natural nor are their Virtues so Genuine as those that originally spring up from that proper matter or Salnitral Quality which our own Mother Earth affords under our own Elevation and that peculiar operation of the Coelestials under which we breathe neither are such Exotick Herbs or Plants endued with so proper or genuine Medicinal Virtue as they have in their natural Climate Now let us consider where and when most of the Great Masters of Physick who are the Beams and Eyes of our Doctors and the Foundations of our Colleges ●lived Hypocrates was a Grecian of the Isle of Chios in the Mediterranian above two Thousand Years ago Galen born at Pergamus in Asia about the Year of our Lord 140. and being Physician to an Emperor rich and high in favour at Court he scrap'd together all the Books of Physick that he could hear of and took the Receipts and most material parts thereof and set them forth as his own Works concealing the Original Authors and destroying their Works which was easy for him to do so long before Printing came up when Copies were so very few and scarce and by this fraud and base ambitious Trick he became celebrated as the only Father of the Art of Healing and to this Day remains the Idol of the Methodists as they call themselves that is the Sons of Tradition and Implicit Faith These two Authors wrote in Greek not so much to puzzle their Readers or keep up their Learning from People as our Modern Men write all their Bills in Latin meerly that the Absurdity of their Prescriptions may not appear but because Greek was their natural Mother Tongue Averroes and Avicenna were Arabians and lived about the Year of our Lord 1160. Dioscorides was of Anoharba a Town in Cilicia and lived before Christ's Incarnation so that he and the two first were Heathens and other two were Mahometans and great Blasphemers of the Sacred Writings of our

And if we may descend to grosser Pleasures have not the meanest of Men as great content and satisfaction with his poor Russet-Coated Wife as the greatest Prince with his Gayest Bride Whence the Poets always feign LOVE the noblest of the Passions to be bred amongst the Villagers and a Companion of Rusticks and Shepherdesses Nay to go higher has not the great All Wise Creator given the most friendly Element the Air in Gavil-kind to all the Sons of Men every one enjoying an equal Portion And are not the greatest of Men subject to all the Injuries of the Elements and Necessities and Accidents of Natural Life viz. Heat Cold Hunger Thirst Diseases and even Death it self as much and as frequently and as certainly as the Poor And yet still men are so foolish and so vain as to vaunt of their Great Birth and their Noble Blood Can any thing be mote extravagantly ridiculous True it is all that are Governors Magistrates and Officers of the People ought to be honoured and respected in their Places according to their respective Dignities and so much the more if they govern according to the Law of God and Nature doing every man Justice and Right and being a Terror unto evil doers and a Praise unto them that do well But this real Honour contracted on Political Considerations of Office and Vertue is nothing to that Fantastick Glory derived meerly from Ancestors and the brave Feats done by our Great-Grandsires Grand-Fathers so much boasted of by those who please themselves in being Great rather by their Mother's Labours than their own 14. It is to be noted that most sorts of Flesh and Fish as to their operations on the Body and Senses are not so innocent brisk aery and lively as Herbs Seeds Grains Fruits and various sorts of excellent Food made of them though many of our English Belly-Gods suppose Flesh to be most mighty in its operation but they are grosly mistaken and no wonder since their Brains Wits and Understandings are through Intemperance Superfluity and Gluttony sunk into their Bellies for Flesh is of a gross substance dull and heavy in its operation fills the Body with abundance of slimy corrupt Juices bad Blood and in many Constitutions too great a quantity and causeth the Animal Spirits to be very impure whence arise Boils Scabs King's-Evils Leprosies and sometimes clotted Blood like pieces of Flesh which lie in some of the Vessels of the Stomach till being gathered into hard Lumps they sorely oppress Nature and cause Distempers which are the Death of Multitudes Flesh and Blood is too near of kin to the Animal Life in Man to be a proper Food for him 't is like the Marrying of Brothers and Sisters Therefore the Ancients were curious in forbidding especially the eating of the Flesh of any of those Beasts that would naturally eat the Flesh of their Fellow-Creatures and we need go no farther than every Man's experience to know that all such Flesh and also Fish have a rank strong fulsome Taste and affords a like Nourishment Nor has Flesh and Blood grown into great reputation from the excellency of its Taste or Nourishment but chiefly as we have elsewhere observed from the near affinity it has with the awaken'd Wrath and bestial Nature which in most men predominates Hence when once Men have tasted Flesh with the Blood the Bestial Qualities are presently irritated and so pleased that nothing else will afford them such satisfaction because of its great affinity with the Bestial and Animal Life the hunger grows so strong in many that they will eat Flesh or Fish that stinks and is half putrified if they cannot have other rather than feed upon Bread Butter Cheese or the like which is an bundred-fold beyond it both as to Taste Nourishment and Vertue The same is to be understood of all sorts of unclean Birds and Beastss of Prey As for example If a Dog chance to suck the Blood and eat the raw Flesh of any Creature it does so violently open the gate of the fierce Quality that the Hunger grows so great that he becomes ten-fold more eager revenous and fierce than before This every one almost doth know and if they consider it well shall find the very same Effects in Bodies humane as each man may feel in himself if he be a diligent observer of his own Nature If this had not been so Moses and many wise men in most Ages had never made such strict Laws against eating of Flesh without distinction and that such Flesh as was allowed to be eaten should be throughly cleansed from the Blood c. Which rendered such Flesh far wholsomer and to afford a better nourishment but not so much as our way of Killing and Dressing which in truth in most Creatures as Cows Oxen c. is next door to strangling whereby the natural Spirits are suffocated and causes the Blood and fierce wrathful Spirits to centre and lodge themselves in all parts of the Body and hinders them that they pass not so freely away where the wound is made This the Apostles understood very well We have no other Commandment to lay on you but that you abstain from Blood Fornications things offered to Idols and things strangled there being more Evil in all sorts of Flesh and Fish that is so killed than most do imagine for when there is no Wound made the animal bestial wrathful fierce original poysonous Spirits become suffocated and Death's stroke brings the whole Nature into such amazing frightful Agonies as few Men or Killers of Beasts are sensible of or endued with so much humanity to consider for if they did suffer Compassion to arise in them their leud Trade of killing would not be so easie to them I say the central Poysons being awakened by the stroke of Death and finding no Passage they seize the pure Spirits whose Habitation is the Blood and then presently the sweet Oyl or Balsamick Property turns sower strong and fulsome as is manifest every where both in Animals and Vegetables whensoever the pure spirituous parts are by any improper preparation or other Accidents wounded suffocated or evaporated then in a moment's time the sweet balsamick Property is depraved and turns eager and unwholesome Hence it is that the Flesh of those Creatures that are strangled does neither look so well nor eat so sweet nor is so healthy as other Flesh for when any Creature perceives its Life in danger there is such a strugling and horror within as none can imagine but such only as have been near dead by the like means it being the very same in a Beast as in Men. This being better understood by the Ancients than now-a-days it was therefore amongst them not lawful to kill any Creature that was to be eaten without making a Wound by which means the Blood did pass freely away and with it the fierce and wrathful Spirits and Poysons and so the Flesh was purged and freed from many sorts of Uncleanness and even this

but the Inventions of proud Man are generally obscure scarce intricate and difficult That which I advise is only this As soon as you have cut or prickt your self or perceive any of the before-mentioned Accidents to trouble you and that your Flesh is envenomed suck it with your Mouth and spurt out what you draw from it and continue so to suck ever now and then the more constantly you do it the sooner the Cure will be effected But if the Hurt be great or dangerous then for the more speedy and certain Cure you ought to put Milk or Milk and Sugar in your Mouth and so suck the part afflicted and then spurt it out and repeat it several times and then let it rest a while and afterwards do the same again and if your Wound be great or the Flesh raw or some Flesh cut off then when you have done sucking of it one time in the interim till you come to suck it again lay a Poultice of Bread and Milk on the place and next time you have suckt it lay fresh on again This is a certain Cure if you continue it and it will perform the work in a shorter time than any Plaisters Oyntments or any such things But sometimes the Venoms of such Sores are so great that it will require a proportionate time and in such cases it will be requisite to suck it the oftner and you need not despair of healing it to admiration The same is to be understood of Wens and Moles For the Attractive Faculty of the Mouth and Stomach is so strong that it does by a secret power and virtue draw away the inward poyson that is kindled or awakened by such Accidents and prevents the Flux of Humors for when any part of the Body is hurt or wounded the Violence does certainly stir up or awaken the Mercurial Poysons of that part which do not only cause the Flesh to burn and heat but those Original Poysons do so violently attract matter unto themselves that the Wound or Hurt will quickly swell or putrifie for the Attractive Faculty of Nature stands in and hath its power from the Poysons of Saturn and Mercury Now these Venomous Spirits that are so violently awakened by the Wound the constant sucking with the Mouth does in a secret and most hidden but real and certain way draw forth from the part afflicted which does not only cool it but hinders and totally prevents the flowing of the Humors from the adjoyning part also dislodges the poysonous matter from that very part so that by this way of Sucking the Member or part where the Wound happens is rather made less than bigger for that which causeth any Wound to swell and putrifie is a certain Spirituous Poyson which this attractive Faculty of the Mouth does draw forth and spits it away so that then the Flesh will not heat swell nor putrifie For the same Reasons Dogs and some other Creatures do certainly cure any Wound they receive or other Accident of like Nature by their continual Licking of their Hurts for when those hot Venoms are removed Nature needs no other Remedy but can help her self by her innate power Therefore in managing of the Cure of all Hurts or Wounds the Artist's chief work should be to allay or draw forth those original Poysonous hot Sulpherous Spirits that are so violent in their Operation that they cause that part to burn swell and rage with great extremity of Pain For when in any part of the Body the pure essential Spirits and Balsamick Virtues are wounded or hurt by any kind of Violence presently the Original or fierce Brimstony Spirits are awakened and then they appear in their own Form which so long as the pure Spirits and Balsamick Oyl remained entire were hid or rather moderated and burned gently and friendly and gave life and motion to Nature but as soon as the pure Oyl and Spirits are wounded the aforesaid latent fierce Spirits break forth and shew themselves and become of a furious Nature and Operation The very same is to be understood in the Vegetable Kingdom if you destroy the pure Spirits and sweet Oyl or Balsamick Virtues in any thing then the original Forms of Saturn and Mars appear as is manifest in Charcoal and Brandy For all things both Vegetables Animals and Minerals have but one only ground and foundation and he that understands one by the same Spirit may see into the Grounds and Reasons of them all Nay the chief Cause and Foundation of all Diseases and Distempers in the Body is from the same Ground for when by Accidents or Intemperance the pure Natural Spirits and sweet Oyl in the Body suffers Violence be it in what part of the Body it will then presently the Poysons in that part are stirred up and then there is pain felt there and thence follow those terrible Feavers and Diseases that destroy Life in a moment The Mouth and Attractive Faculty of the Stomach does not only draw forth of the Wound Bruise or Sore green or old the poysonful Spirits which cause Pain and Swelling but by a secret Balsamick Virtue heal such Hurts But where the Hurt is full of Matter and subject to putrifie then it will be convenient to put the Juice of Limes Lemmons or some such keen sharp Juice into your Mouth and so suck your Wound and spurt it out and then take more into your Mouth several times for several days together and not be weary in a day as some are for Nature cannot destroy those kindled Poysons in an instant but it will certainly do it in a shorter time than either Salves Plaisters or Oyntments viz. in two three or four Days most ordinary Hurts will be cured if you apply your Mouth to the sucking of it often both in the Night and the Day And therefore I commend this way of Cure especially to the Country-people who often fall into such ill Accidents as Cuts Pricks Thorns Splinters Bruises and the like which often cost them dear viz. the loss of an Hand or a Leg Nay many times in small Hurts in the Flesh having no Understanding to help themselves but relying upon other Unskilful People many have not only lost their Limbs but their Lives But such as shall use the Means before-mentioned shall by God's Blessing prevent all such Dangers If the Wound or Hurt happen in a place where you cannot come at it with your own Mouth you may get some Body else to do it Also it is convenient that all Wounds Prieks or Cuts when first made should be made to bleed as much as may be without prejudice to the Body for in the Blood the fiery wrathful poysonous Spirits pass away and then the Cure is effected much the soonner But such as do not bleed nor can be made bleed are more dangerous and not soon or easily healed Besides it is to be understood when the Wound bleeds freely there is not any suffocation of the pure Volatile Spirits or at least

of Stars and the various Species in the four Worlds or what doth more ravishingly declare the Greatness Goodness and eternal Wisdom of the immense Creator This is a Book we study in which the grand Charter of Nature and the Holy Mysteries of God are recorded and we think we do not err in preferring it before the endless and contentious thwarting Volumes of the Talkative Philosophers and Wrangling Schoolmen French-man I have been told and you seem to own it That you will not Kill any of the inferior Creatures nor eat their Flesh but I pray hath not Man power to do as he pleaseth with those Creatures and were not they made for that very purpose Heathen God hath made all Creatures inferior to Man who hath freedom to use and do unto them all as he pleaseth having free will to chuse either Good or Evil but he that follows the better and leaveth the worse chuseth the better part and is made God's Friend and in Amity with all the Creation for man is a likeness of all things and contains their true Natures and Properties and therefore whatever he giveth himself unto the same becomes strong in him be it Virtue or Vice For which cause our well-advised Fathers commanded us our Wives and Children to abstain from all kinds of Violence and Oppression especially to those of our own Species that thereby our Souls might be preserved from being precipitated into wrath and so retain Humanity and the more noble Faculties of our Souls unspotted as well as our Bodies rendred wholsome clean and fit to be Temples for the Divine Spirit esteeming Abstinence Cleanness and Separation to be the true paths that lead to all external and eternal bliss it being in our opinion an unfit and altogether unworthy thing that the great noble and immortal Soul of man should so much degenerate from its high and illustrious Birth as to joyn or suffer it self to be incorporated with the low and savage Nature of Beasts Nor do we think it lawful for us to heat our Veins and distemper our blood with Wine since Water more kindly quencheth our Thirst the innocent and fragrant Herbs and Fruits of our Gardens afford us ample satisfaction and we should be ashamed to make our Bodies the Graves of the Inferiour Creatures And tho our Princes are sometimes harsh and severe to us yet we pacifie them with meek submissive and humble Behaviour And since as little as possibly we can we hurt not any thing therefore nothing hurts us but we live in perfect Unity and Amity with all the numberless Inhabitants of the four Worlds doing by them as we would be done unto whereby we dis-arm their Rage and their Fury finds no place against us French-man But pray tell me how long you have led this kind of Life and whether your Sons and Daughters do follow your Religion and Example for amongst the Europeans nothing is more common than for Youth to degenerate and wander after the Multitude and abandon their Fathers Rules especially if they should be but half so singular as you are Heathen As for the Antiquity of our Course of Life I think for the greater part I may date it from the World 's Original Your own Doctors teach that Adam the first Man was placed in a Garden and that the green Herb. and Tree bearing Fruit was to be to him for Meat and do generally agree that afterwards at least during the Old World viz. to the time of the Flood which was in the Year of the World 1656. eating of Flesh was not allowed or practised and though afterwards it was practised yet 't is probable it did not obtain with all But there is reason to believe that still the better and more reserved sort did abstain For about the Year of the World 3300. near the time that your holy Records mention Ierusalem to be besieged by Nebuchadnezzar we find the famous Philosopher Pythagoras flourishing who expresly taught his Followers which by reason of his Parts and Virtues were not a few not to eat any Flesh but content themselves altogether with Vegetables and this great Man travelling for the acquest and diffusion of Knowledge into divers parts left not our India unvisited and there planted this wholsome Doctrine which ever since hath not wanted Observers derived down by a continual Succession to our Times 'T is true our Ancestors have obliged us to some things which may seem frivolous and vain as not to kill any kind of Vermin which are very offensive to the Life of Man But indeed these Prohibitions well regarded shew their more deep Wisdom and Fore-sight for they did consider that their Philosophy would not only be embraced by Wise Men but also by a great number of Fools as the most part of all Men are in one thing or other and if they should have permitted them to have killed any kind of Creatures the Foolish would have concluded they might by the same Rule as well kill others and so by degrees come to kill men as most other Nations do Besides not only our cleanly regular temperate Lives free us from many of those Vermin wherewith others are troubled but we take it for a Rule that such as would live an abstemious separated Life from Evil and Violence must refrain from some things that are lawful as well as from those that are unlawful as one of your Prophets says excellently All things are lawful but not expedient Touching our Sons and Daughters they all constantly follow our Foot-steps and it hath very rarely been known that any of them have forsaken the Percepts of their Fathers being descended from a Root of Temperance and Equality they are naturally Sober and Temperate for they use not Tippling-Houses nor spend their Patrimony in drinking Wine Gaming Debauchery and Gluttony so that the more Children we have the Richer we esteem our selves they proving no more chargeable to us than Lambs do to Sheep They all marry Wives of our own Tribe and Religion and there is no Dispute about either Portion or Joynture Their greatest Pleasure and chief Recreation is to contemplate the Heavens and their glorious Furniture the Sun Moon and Stars in their Various Motions and Configurations as also the pleasant Gardens Groves and Fountains and to free the Inhabitants thereof from the Tyranny and Bondage of men as much as in them lies And so through the whole course of our Lives abstaining from all that tendeth to Evil and promoting what we can the good of the whole Creation we endeavour to imitate the adorable Maker and Conserver of the Universe whose Off-spring we are and in whom we live and move and have our Beeing French-man You have not only gratified my Curiosity but in several things informed my Understanding And I heartily wish that your Virtue and Morality were crowned with true Christianity and our Christianity embellish'd with the real practice of your Virtue Temperance and Moderation And so bid you Farewell To shew that the recommending Abstinence from Flesh is no new Upstart Conceit I shall here add those notable Verses of the ingenious Poet Ovid written above 1600 Years ago in his Metamorphosis as I find them translated by Sandys where he brings in the famous Philosopher Pythagoras from whom the Indian Bannians derive their Doctrine thus discoursing FOrbear your selves O Mortals to Pollute With wicked Food
