they recover with much greater speed and certainty and less charge than if they delay till they become weak and the Disease strong 50. Whether 't is not sufficient that Medicaments are beneficial without expecting they should be either easie in Operation or pleasant in Tast For Medicaments were made for necessity only and not delight though Food was made for both because we cannot live without Food But if Mankind was wise enough to follow in these matters the dictates of Nature there would be little need of Physick so that 't is God's Mercy we can have our Healths upon any Terms and the worse the better for a punishment to make us wise and wary to preserve our Healths by Moderation and a Regular Life 51. Whether 't is not as vain to expect to be freed from Diseases without Pain or Sorrow as for a Woman to expect to be delivered of her Children without Pain Whatever satisfaction there may be in their Causes the Proverb tells us Sweet Meet must have sowre Sauce so that which is sweet in the Mouth may be bitter in the Belly and for want of true Wisdom which is a faculty of discerning remote consequences beyond the deceitful appearance of things most People are ensnared to their ruin for Evils have Beautiful out-sides but rotten insides when Good hath comfort in the end though not outwardly so charmingly adorned 52. Whether 't is not very prudent to study to preserve our Healths to recover it the shortest and safest way when lost and to submit before 't is too late to stronger means when gentle are insufficient If Health is the most precious Jewel next the Soul the wise that know it will both study to preserve and recover it and always use the means though seemingly violent by which they may attain their end with greatest certainty 53. Whether violent Medicines ought to be neglected or their use delayed where gentle will prove ineffectual and endanger a Patient If gentle Medicines are equally profitable 't is imprudent to use the violent but where they are not 't is as imprudent to neglect them extremis morbis extrema remedia conveniunt But much of this doubt would be solved if the word Violent were well understood some mean dangerous by it and then such Medicines deserve alwaies to be rejected others powerful and effectual and then they ought never to be out of use for 't is alwaies better to make use of violent Medicines that will certainly cure than to trust to the weaker and lose time with hazard to the Patient 54. Whether all Persons must not either Labour Fast use Physick or be Sick For such as will not Exercise must eat Sparingly and if they 'll do neither they must take Physick or be Sick unless they have by the benefit of Nature Evacuations proportionable to their Feeding and Sloth The following rule of Health is not contemptible Eat when Hungry Drink being Thirsty Sleep when Drowsie and be never Idle 55. Whether great Feeders if not as great Labourers must not daily grow from a Horse-load to a Cart-load or empty a Barrel of Excrements For whatever is not discharged in proportion to what is received must still remain behind either for Fat Diseases or both 56. Whether 't is not the peccant matter moved by the Physick and not the Physick which in Purging and Vomiting gripes and makes the Patient so Sick For the same matter gives the like Sickness and Pain when moved by Nature without Physick and Physick gives little or no disturbance when there is no diseased matter in the Body or none moved by it Seneca says Remedia nulla sunt tam salutaria quam quae faciunt dolorem It must needs therefore be a sign when Evacuating Physick neither gripes nor indisposeth that either the Patient needed none or that what was taken was too weak and improper to do him any good 57. Whether 't is not much better to give strong and powerful Remedies at first whilst the Patient is vigorous and the Disease weak than to delay so long with gentle Medicines as is too frequently practised till the Disease is grown strong and the Patient feeble Where the Disease cannot certainly be overcome with gentle means 't is never prudent to hazard life by delay whereby many a Patient hath been lost who might have been saved by an earlier application of true and powerful Remedies Post est occasio calva sero Medicina paratur 58. Whether Soldiers and Seamen seasoned by the recovery out of epidemical Distempers attending Camps and Fleets are not afterwards less subject to fall ill again by disorders and usually continue in Health a long time after The reason for this seems to be that such Diseases for the most part consume the greatest part of if not all the preternatural Humours at that time in the Body and it will require again some considerable time before a sufficient quantity can be collected for another Sickness Besides Diseases usually fall on the Men before custom and use hath hardened them so that every little unusual Disorder which prejudiced them at first hath afterwards no power over them 59. Whether any Flux whatsoever had better be stopt in the beginning with Astringent Remedies or be cured by removing the cause with Evacuation If no Flux or preternatural Eruption can happen but by something received into the body of a loosening or purging quality or else by the strength of Nature endeavouring to free its self of some offending Humours the first if it ceaseth not of its self must be removed by some other evacuant the same way or some other the last if nature proves insufficient to save it self by a critical Evacuation must have the cause removed by artificial cleansing and not be kept in to a worse purpose by Astringents 60. Whether there is not the same reason and necessity for the Sick to take Physick as for the Healthy food Tho some may live many daies without Food and not be starved and some Sick may live without Physick and it may be recover yet none in their wits will voluntarily and knowingly make the experiment unless they either want Money or Faith in Physick for Medicine is as much Food for the Sick as Food is Medicine for the Hungry 61. Whether God Almighty hath not as well furnished the World with Medicines for the Sick as with Food for the Hungry God made nothing in vain every Herb Animal and Mineral have their distinct uses and properties and 't is the duty of Physicians diligently to examine and carefully to observe what they are and how they may be best applyed for the service of Mankind which is truly called the Art of Physick and came down from Heaven 62. Whether this Art of Physick or a right knowledge of Nature and skill in Medicines with their various Operations in Humane Bodies under different circumstances and affects is not sometimes better acquired by faithful Instruction by diligent Observation and plain demonstration
