A00508	The difference betwene the auncient phisicke, first taught by the godly forefathers, consisting in vnitie peace and concord: and the latter phisicke proceeding from idolaters, ethnickes, and heathen: as Gallen, and such other consisting in dualitie, discorde, and contrarietie And wherein the naturall philosophie of Aristotle doth differ from the trueth of Gods worde, and is iniurious to Christianitie and sounde doctrine.

of_o true_a physic_n because_o as_o plato_n say_v he_o that_o be_v ignorant_a in_o divine_a thing_n can_v have_v right_a understanding_n in_o profane_a learning_n as_o apollo_n and_o aesculapius_n &_o

as_o they_o two_o do_v to_o menataus_n who_o pandarus_n wound_v there_o because_o they_o think_v disease_n do_v common_o come_v to_o man_n either_o by_o external_a hurt_n as_o by_o prick_v cut_a or_o

into_o disease_n be_v not_o profitable_a for_o himself_o nor_o for_o other_o and_o that_o the_o art_n of_o physic_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o such_o nor_o serve_v for_o they_o and_o that_o such_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v cure_v though_o they_o be_v rich_a than_o midas_n and_o that_o it_o be_v against_o reason_n to_o think_v that_o man_n shall_v need_v physic_n for_o rheum_n

and_o therefore_o prove_v that_o those_o disease_n be_v not_o know_v to_o mahaon_n and_o podalirius_n at_o the_o siege_n of_o troy_n asclepyades_n also_o the_o physician_n say_v that_o health_n
