A88936 Riddles mervels and rarities: or, A new way of health, from an old man's experience, &c. Being his kind legacy, to his fellow creatures: or, the physician, and no physician, prescribing physick, and no physick; shewing plain, easie, and cheap ways, how every man may become his own physician, his own apothecary, and his own chyrurgeon, with little or no trouble, but far less cost. Whereby sickness may certainly be prevented to the well; health, as certainly procur'd to the sick; and man's life comfortably preserv'd, to a good old age.... Divided into 2 parts, by two universal medicines; the one physical, the other natural; the first the worst, the second the best. Also a short discourse concerning the phylosopher's stone, ... With several other choice observations of profitable use, as may be seen in the table here annext. Mace, Thomas, d. 1709? 1698 (1698) Wing M121A; ESTC R229881 30,352 40

no_o such_o thing_n can_v see_v it_o be_v sure_o fold_v up_o in_o mystery_n and_o most_o believe_v it_o be_v cortain_o a_o lye_n yet_o true_o for_o my_o own_o part_n so_o do_v it_o l._n i_o do_v believe_v that_o real_o there_o be_v in_o nature_n store_n even_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o this_o though_o not_o according_a to_o its_o literal_a sense_n as_o turn_v br●ss_n into_o gold_n

the_o explanation_n thus._n most_o man_n judge_v gold_n to_o be_v the_o chief_a thing_n delight_v man_n which_o nature_n store_n do_v bring_v for_o where_o there_o be_v gold_n enough_o naught_n want_v there_o all_o thing_n beside_o be_v gain_v by_o little_a care_n what_o do_v not_o man_n attempt_v god-gold_n to_o gain_n oh_o how_o they_o cuddle_n how_o they_o run_v amain_o adventr_v life_n and_o

gold_n and_o free_a for_o any_o one_o to_o take_v that_o will_v yet_o want_v that_o most_o rich_a chief_a treasure_n health_n those_o golden_a mount_n will_v nought_o resemble_v wealth_n for_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v the_o rich_a man_n sick_a and_o full_a of_o pain_n be_v very_o forth_o the_o poor_a m●●_n in_o his_o health_n and_o strong_a be_v rich_a yea_o more_o for_o he_o be_v
