THE CVRE OF ALL SORTS OF FEVERS Both generall and particular with their Definition Kindes Differences Causes Signes Prognostication and manner of Cure with a prespectation their Intentions Curative with their Symptoms and divers other things herein very necessarie to be judiciously observed in every FEVER Lately compiled by ED. EDVVARDS Doctor in Physick Ann. Dom. 1637. LONDON Printed by Thomas Harper and are to be sold by William Sheeres at his shop in Bedford-street over against the New-Exchange 1638. To the friendly Reader FOr as much as perfect knowledge in any faculty is the Mother of perfection therein a vertue worthy commendations of all wise men discovering the Ignorant for Ignorance is the shame disgrace and overthrow of noble Arts and Sciences to such as professe them being ignorant Example a thing much to be lamented of all people because it concerneth all to behold how the thrice worthy and needfull faculties of Physick and Chirurgerie are abused which farre exceed all other faculties Divine precept excepted for there is as much difference betweene this and all other Faculties as betweene the body and the garment if we cannot forbeare the builders of houses much lesse the Repayrers of our sick sore and decayed bodies If we build an house we seek not to a Taylor or a Weaver to do it but to one skilfull in that Profession if so why do we seek to the Ignorant for health which know not what Health is nor how to preserve it and being absent know not which way to help it but we should not prize our health at so low a rate being so precious a jewell For what joy have they in this life which lye in extreame paines miserie and torment for want of health who do not prize health before wealth but now behold the intolerable abuse with an inundant deluge of over-whelming make-shifts or smoothing sycophants fit to be unmasked and repressed worthy puniishment being a rabble of idle droans swarming in all places of the Kingdome practising Physick and Chyrurgerie making it a fanctuarie of idlenesse to the dishonour of God and great hurt to the people deceiving the vulgar sort they being unable to distinguish the learned and expert from the ignorant Impostor which lyeth lurking watching a fit opportunity to seaze on some prey to maintaine a wicked and idle life and not onely those male-kinde of caterpillars but also we have now a huge swarme of petticoat Physitians and Chyrurgians being tatling gossips who being frequent among sicke folks and hearing the advice and counsell of the learned and expert physitian prescribing many fit things to his Patient as diet and also the making of julips barley-water broths jellies almund-milk cullaces and divers things necessarie for to comfort the sicke Patient Hereupon these audacious gossips will give syrups senae Rubarb Cassia Manna Aloes c. and not onely clysters but also strong purges and vomits and those no more fit for the disease but by chance than its possible for a Shoe-maker to make shoes fit for every mans foot upon one Last If these learned faculties were so easily attained as these idle wretches account them surely they may well know that men would never bestow so long time and great charges in studie and learning to attaine the deepe knowledge herein which they do for Gods glory and their Countries good How then dare this godlesse crue offer to minister medicines from so slender a ground-worke some of these get medicines by relation of others or by reading many medicines in books which please their palates having no ground to shew why this or that medicine is fit but imagination onely able to yeeld no reason how or why it should do good I grieve to thinke that people should be so sottish to neglect the counsell and good advice of the wise learned expert and skilfull Artists that have searched out the very secrets of nature to do good to hearken to the subtle syrene-songs of Sycophants whose eyes are as sharpe as Lynx who is said to see an hundred miles so are many of these as sharp set for gaines and some for applause how unworthy soever these wretches swarme in every Towne and Village and hereby they leave the counsell of the learned and expert to follow and aske counsell of an Asse which know not with what nor how to performe any cure but by great chance as the blinde man shot the Crow but if it happen a cure to be performed under their hands that brings no small applause of the vulgar what a miracle there is done truly I am also of that minde indeed that it is a miracle that it had that successe they being so unable to yeeld any reason how it came so to passe which the learned and expert Artist can do also these idle rabble will warrant to cure any thing they undertake to finger money be it never so unpossible to be done it is the office of God and not of man to warrant any but it s very frequent with these make-shifts and idle crue to do all the expert do not so but use that which is fit and leave the successe to the divine power using his painfull diligence and industrie advisedly and skilfully I do not here taxe nor ranke among this rabble of Idlers those charitable and well-disposed people which in the absence of the learned or expert Physitian or Chirurgion do give some comfortable things whose vertues or helps they know by experience to do good in the like case to comfort a friend or a neighbour till better help may be had or in charitie to help the poore that have not wherewith to pay for their cure leaving all other to the learned and expert in those worthy faculties who know best how to deale with them rightly and commonly these charitable people have this care if they see their medicines prevaile not they advise them that be able speedily to seeke better helpe knowing that delayes breed danger But the above-said wicked crue will never give them over so long as they can finger any undeserved reward holding them on with false promises for money and then leave them miserably to their fortunes when their money is gone or left uncurable which peradventure alone might at the first or by the skilfull Artist have beene prevented a thing sooner to be lamented then redressed Also I know many of those well-disposed charitable people above-said chiefly in Chirurgerie wherein the eye must direct the hand do performe many very desperate and dangerous cures by their experience when many that make great shew with their painted sheath come short in their performance that should shew better fruits the cause I know not whether neglect ignorance or arrogancy shortē Gods blessing not taking him along with them God bids us begin with him first and then what he hath promised to such I need not to relate Scripture saith God hideth things from the wise and prudent openeth them to babes sucklings I accuse none

but let us all examine our selves fully and in what we finde our selves defective first seek to God for his grace and assistance and then carefully with full resolution and diligence in our selves seek to amend what we finde amisse in us that God may blesse our endeavours to his owne glory the patients good and our comforts And thus praying to God that the well-doers may be protected and that rabble of idle Syeophants and Impostors may be abolished to Gods glory and my Countries good I do here abruptly cease Vale in Christo The summe of this Booke consisteth in these 6. particulars
