the_o solemn_a place_n of_o devotion_n they_o be_v not_o so_o frequent_a at_o the_o public_a prayer_n and_o at_o sermon_n as_o other_o men._n a_o physician_n oftentimes_o have_v the_o character_n

a_o man_n life_n be_v a_o high_a act_n of_o charity_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o substantial_a ingredient_n of_o our_o religion_n adorari_fw-la to_o heal_v and_o to_o worship_n be_v

yea_o if_o they_o do_v but_o so_o much_o as_o connive_v at_o these_o they_o pay_v dear_a for_o their_o expect_a guineas_n but_o if_o only_a in_o the_o way_n of_o their_o profession_n they_o converse_v

advise_v and_o perform_v all_o the_o part_n of_o their_o sacred_a function_n must_v visit_v their_o flock_n and_o hold_v converse_v even_o with_o the_o worst_a to_o reclaim_v and_o reform_v they_o which_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o our_o lord_n do_v when_o he_o eat_v and_o drink_v with_o publican_n and_o sinner_n once_o more_o some_o devout_a and_o well-meaning_a person_n may_v think_v physician_n have_v no_o religion_n because_o they_o have_v so_o much_o philosophy_n they_o hear_v they_o talk_v so_o much_o of_o body_n that_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o infer_v they_o have_v no_o

surmise_n for_o these_o thing_n do_v not_o exclude_v one_o another_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o philosopher_n and_o a_o christian_a he_o may_v nay_o he_o must_v acknowledge_v a_o first_o cause_n though_o he_o hold_v that_o there_o be_v secondary_a one_o divine_a and_o natural_a agent_n be_v not_o inconsistent_a the_o discourse_n of_o a_o physician_n shall_v savour_v of_o both_o these_o especial_o the_o former_a and_o then_o the_o observe_a world_n will_v have_v no_o cause_n to_o object_n against_o they_o the_o want_n of_o religion_n then_o it_o will_v be_v see_v that_o their_o

thus_o you_o have_v my_o thought_n concern_v the_o occasion_n of_o that_o calumny_n which_o physician_n general_o lie_v under_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o take_v off_o those_o prejudices_fw-la and_o

be_v yet_o this_o do_v not_o at_o all_o invalidate_n the_o proposition_n which_o i_o have_v assert_v for_o either_o we_o speak_v of_o physician_n improper_o so_o call_v that_o be_v ignorant_a quack_n etc._n etc._n or_o those_o that_o be_v learned_a and_o well_o skill_v in_o the_o faculty_n as_o to_o the_o former_a they_o deserve_v not_o the_o name_n of_o physician_n and_o therefore_o though_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o some_o of_o these_o be_v atheist_n yet_o it_o can_v be_v impute_v to_o the_o faculty_n because_o they_o be_v not_o proper_o of_o it_o yea_o i_o further_o grant_v that_o
