against_o the_o plague_n or_o no._n i_o have_v hear_v some_o aver_v that_o tobacco_n be_v a_o preservative_n against_o the_o plague_n monardes_n commend_n it_o against_o poison_n but_o especial_o against_o wound_n that_o be_v make_v by_o poison_a weapon_n and_o venomous_a beast_n which_o those_o that_o write_v hereof_o do_v understand_v of_o the_o green_a herb_n or_o of_o the_o juice_n thereof_o apply_v to_o the_o affect_a part_n and_o not_o of_o the_o smoke_n take_v as_o now_o adays_o they_o use_v it_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o smoke_n may_v do_v good_a against_o the_o plague_n but_o not_o as_o many_o think_v plague_n tobacco_n haâ—h_v not_o any_o antidotary_n quality_n against_o the_o plague_n by_o any_o antidotary_n quality_n that_o it_o have_v against_o poison_n but_o for_o other_o cause_n for_o those_o thing_n that_o preserve_v from_o the_o plague_n be_v either_o such_o as_o cleanse_v the_o body_n from_o excrement_n or_o that_o dry_a it_o whereby_o it_o do_v not_o so_o easy_o receive_v the_o poison_n now_o that_o the_o smoke_n of_o tobacco_n do_v dry_a the_o brain_n and_o the_o body_n and_o void_a out_o the_o humour_n by_o the_o mouth_n and_o sometime_o by_o vomit_n it_o be_v evident_a enough_o and_o thus_o perhaps_o it_o preserve_v from_o the_o plague_n but_o no_o peculiar_a virtue_n of_o effect_v that_o after_o this_o manner_n be_v find_v in_o the_o smoke_n for_o those_o thing_n that_o do_v evacuate_v do_v only_o by_o accident_n preserve_v from_o the_o plague_n as_o purge_v blood_a etc._n etc._n therefore_o no_o reason_n enforce_v that_o we_o shall_v attribute_v to_o the_o smoke_n any_o peculiar_a virtue_n of_o preserve_v from_o the_o plague_n but_o beside_o many_o observe_v that_o in_o the_o plague_n a_o man_n ought_v to_o abstain_v

or_o preserve_v man_n from_o it_o by_o vomit_n of_o antimony_n when_o perhaps_o they_o can_v not_o defend_v themselves_o from_o it_o as_o platerus_n in_o his_o observation_n report_n of_o one_o adam_n of_o bodenstein_n a_o famous_a chemist_n who_o in_o his_o writing_n profess_v a_o most_o certain_a manner_n of_o cure_v or_o prevent_v the_o pestilence_n who_o nevertheless_o get_v it_o himself_o at_o

we_o have_v no_o experience_n of_o any_o such_o virtue_n in_o tobacco_n for_o so_o many_o thousand_o of_o man_n who_o that_o great_a plague_n at_o london_n and_o in_o other_o place_n in_o this_o kingdom_n have_v sweep_v away_o the_o great_a part_n of_o who_o do_v without_o doubt_n take_v tobacco_n be_v as_o so_o many_o witness_n to_o testify_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o virtue_n therein_o and_o none_o of_o they_o that_o recover_v can_v attribute_v any_o thing_n to_o tobacco_n as_o a_o mean_n of_o their_o recovery_n but_o if_o it_o have_v no_o cure_v virtue_n it_o have_v no_o preserve_a quality_n neither_o moreover_o they_o must_v know_v that_o other_o poison_n have_v their_o proper_a antidote_n antidote_n the_o pestilence_n have_v no_o proper_a antidote_n but_o the_o pestilence_n have_v none_o at_o all_o only_a physician_n use_v cordial_a remedy_n not_o whereby_o the_o poison_n be_v extinguish_v but_o only_a nature_n fortify_v against_o the_o force_n of_o the_o

do_v not_o believe_v that_o it_o do_v any_o hurt_n yet_o i_o think_v it_o do_v not_o much_o good_a moreover_o the_o brain_n as_o galen_n say_v in_o art_n medicâ_fw-la in_o the_o chapter_n concern_v

the_o art_n to_o be_v fallacious_a uncertain_a and_o conjectural_a all_o which_o thing_n see_v they_o can_v be_v know_v but_o by_o a_o skilful_a physician_n woman_n ought_v not_o so_o rash_o and_o
