A39814	A character of a true physician, or, A true chymist compared with a goose-quill pedant with a short view of the frauds and abuses in physick, committed by the confederate prescribing doctoral methodists, with their combinators the apothecaries ... : being a vindication of such physicians as follow not their method but make and administer their own medicines, being the honestest, safest, cheapest, and speediest way of practice, both for physician and patient / by R. Fletcher ...	Fletcher, R. (Richard), fl. 1676-1677.	1676 (1676)	Wing F1357; ESTC R376	13,554	32

of_o their_o tribe_n of_o pedant_n and_o for_o this_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o make_v use_n of_o that_o worthy_a philosopher_n dr._n g._n starkey_n in_o his_o preface_n to_o nature_n explication_n

the_o same_o then_o first_o of_o all_o we_o differ_v from_o the_o goose-quill_n doctor_n or_o tribe_n in_o the_o theoretical_a discovery_n of_o disease_n and_o second_o in_o the_o practical_a cure_n of_o they_o now_o as_o to_o the_o theory_n of_o disease_n and_o the_o philosophical_a contemplation_n of_o simple_n it_o be_v not_o essential_a to_o a_o physician_n for_o a_o man_n may_v know_v the_o remedy_n by_o which_o a_o disease_n be_v cure_v and_o yet_o err_v very_o much_o in_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o now_o i_o think_v on_o it_o i_o must_v desire_v the_o pedantic_a methodist_n to_o tell_v i_o where_o the_o seat_n and_o seed_n of_o disease_n be_v and_o whether_o they_o do_v not_o mistake_v and_o take_v a_o cause_n for_o a_o effect_n and_o a_o effect_n for_o a_o cause_n but_o to_o our_o former_a discourse_n the_o remedy_n be_v to_o the_o disease_n as_o water_n to_o fire_n which_o will_v undoubted_o quench_v it_o and_o as_o a_o man_n may_v know_v certain_o

be_v first_o to_o know_v how_o to_o unlock_v those_o medicine_n which_o the_o almighty_a have_v create_v and_o how_o to_o prepare_v they_o and_o when_o and_o to_o who_o to_o apply_v they_o and_o how_o

his_o time_n in_o learning_n lest_o he_o embrace_v a_o cloud_n for_o juno_n and_o this_o be_v the_o misery_n of_o our_o school_n and_o academy_n that_o the_o one_o teach_v bare_o word_n and_o the_o
