to doe justice and judgement is more acceptable to the Lord then Sacrifice A wise King scattereth the wicked and bringeth the wheele over them Take away the drosse from the silver and there shall come forth a vessell for the Finer Take away the wicked from before the King and his Throne shall be established in righteousnesse Prov. 21.1 2 3. Chap. 20.26 Chap. 25. 4 5. What a blessing Justice is to the people and what a praise to the carefull Executor of it who knoweth not Heathen Aristotle could say Nec Hesperus nec Lucifer formofier justitia that no star is so beautifull in the Skie as Justice on the Earth Mens wisdome may make them reverenced and their power may make them feared but justice justice is that which winneth mens hearts and maketh them beloved and the more faithfull and painfull they are in doing thereof the more honoured alive and dead And as justice is a blessing so are good Laws and Ordinances in a Kingdome in the praise whereof much more then I have already written might be said as not a little against idle superfluous and hurtfull Laws against obscure and deceitfull penning of them leaving holes and gaps in them for all the good intended by them to run out at and never be seen but I leave it to the pious meditation and the discreet consideration of the great Councell of this Kingdome men of learning wisdome and godlinesse into whose hands the faithfull disposing and ordering those weighty affairs and concernments are put Read Sir John Fortescus Knight and Chancellour of England his commendable Book de laudibus legum Angliae and Sir Edward Coke Chiefe Justice of England and Sir John Davis Knight who have treated very learnedly of the Common Laws of England in their prefaces to their Reports SECT III. Of the Profession of PHYSICK THus having lightly touched some few points in that sacred Science and profession of Divinity and having briefly run over some considerable things in that noble profession of the Common-Law of the Realm It remains that I should write somwhat of that facultie and profession of Physick honourable for the use and necessity thereof amongst men But for as much as I have been a meer stranger in a manner to that Art and Science for in truth I have employed but very little time in the study thereof only for that I would quit and shift my selfe of the vulgar imputation and that Ignoramus leaden conceit of those who very fain would have it that others should 〈◊〉 thought to be as egregious dotards and very fools as themselves that have turned it into a Proverb That every one of necessity must either be a Fool a Physician I will therefore with as much perspicuity in brevity as I may speake a word or two of that profession 1 The Wise man tels us That we ought to honour a Physician with the honour due unto him for the uses which we may have of him For the Lord hath created him for of the most high commeth healing and he shall receive honour of the King The skill of the Physician shall lift up his head and in the sight of great men he shall be in admiration The Lord hath created Medicines out of the earth and he that is wise will not abhor them Was not the water made sweet with woo● that they 〈◊〉 thereof might be known Exod. 15.25 And he hath give● men skill that he might be honoured in his marvellous works with such do●● he heal men and take away their pains Of such doth the Apothecary make a Confection and of his works there is no end and from him is peace over all the earth Eccles 38. But this is to be understood of Archigenists or principall chiefe Physicians such as are learned and skilful in their profession and not of those Medici circum-feranti Physicians that goe aboue the Countrey keepe Fairs haunt Markets and publike meetings and so become juglers of mens purses if not Empiricks and made practisers upon their persons I shall not conceile a mystery which these men have attained unto in their faculty which is this that whereas most men themselves of all other professions doe commonly as we say pay for their learning these men by reason of their preproperous practise doe make others pay very denie somtimes for experiment sake onely and not for any learning of theirs which they never had nor knew what did belong to it Surely the learned professors themselves in that faculty or Science of Physick in one respect have the advantage of the Sages of the Common Law for good Lawyers have not with us that liberty which good Physicians have We know a good Physician may lawfully undertake the cure of a foul and desperate disease but a good Lawyer cannot honestly undertake the defence of a foule and desperate cause Secondly I have observed that the King and the Parliament in the Act of 14 Hen. 8. in making of a Law concerning Phisicians for the more safety and health of men therein pursued the Order of a good Physician for Medicina est duplex removens promovens removensmorbum promovius ad salutem Physick is twofold removing the disease and promoving and furthering health And therefore five manner of persons which more hurt mens bodies then the disease it selfe of whom one said of one of their patients fugiens morbum incidit in medicum are to be removed viz. 1 Improbi 2 Avari qui Medicina● magis avaritia f●●● causa 〈◊〉 ullius bon● conscientia fid●era profitentur 3 Malitiosi 4 Te●●● 〈◊〉 5 Inscii That is 1 They that are dishonest wicked Physicians 2 That are covetous who professe Physick more for covetousnesse and for lucre sak●● then by any perswasion or testimony of a good conscience 3 Those that are malicious 4 Those that are unadvised young practisers 5 Those that are ignorant and unskilfull And of the other part five manner of persons were to be promoted as appeareth by the Act viz. 1 Those that were profound 2 Sad. 3 Discreet 4 Groundly learned 5 Profoundly studied And it was well ordained that the professors of Physick should be profound sad discreet c. and not they that are 〈◊〉 which have no gravity and experience for as one saith In juv●ne th●●●●onscientia d●● in●●tum in juv●●● legist a b●rsa decrementum in juvent medico c●●●●●● in●r●●●●●um In a young Divine there is Shipwrack and losse of conscience in a young Lawyer a decrease or waining of the purse in a young Physician a Monticulosity or increase of graves in a Churchyard And it ought to be presumed every Doctor of any of the Universities to be within the Statute that is to be profound sad discreet groundly leathed and profoundly studied for no man there is to be Master of Arts who is Doctor of Phylosophy under seven years study there and he may not be Doctor of Physick under seven years more in the study of Physick And let this
