A81145	Culpeper's last legacy left and bequeathed to his dearest wife, for the publicke good, being the choicest and most profitable of those secrets which while he lived were lockt up in his breast, and resolved never to be publisht till after his death. Containing sundry admirable experiences in severall sciences, more especially, in chyrurgery and physick, viz. compounding of medicines, making of waters, syrrups, oyles, electuaries, conserves, salts, pils, purges, and trochischs. With two particular treatises; the one of feavers; the other of pestilence; as also other rare and choice aphorisms, fitted to the understanding of the meanest capacities. Never publisht before in any of his other works. By Nicholas Culpeper, late student in astrology and physick.	Culpeper, Nicholas, 1616-1654.	1655 (1655)	Wing C7518; Thomason E1464_2; ESTC R22796	103,545	286

man_n up_o in_o a_o infect_a and_o mortal_a air_n but_o i_o shall_v prove_v by_o solid_a argument_n 1._o the_o plague_n not_o infectious_a arg._n 1._o that_o the_o pestilence_n be_v not_o infectious_a my_o first_o argument_n i_o frame_v thus_o that_o disease_n that_o infect_v one_o man_n that_o come_v near_o it_o infect_v all_o man_n that_o come_v near_o it_o but_o the_o plague_n infect_v not_o all_o therefore_o it_o infect_v none_o the_o minor_a be_v clear_a as_o the_o sun_n my_o major_n i_o prove_v from_o the_o universal_a course_n of_o nature_n the_o fire_n warm_v one_o man_n it_o warm_v all_o the_o water_n wet_v one_o man_n it_o wet_v all_o because_o their_o nature_n be_v so_o to_o do_v a_o sword_n wound_v one_o man_n it_o wound_v all_o that_o be_v strike_v with_o it_o the_o universal_a current_n of_o nature_n run_v so_o therefore_o the_o plague_n if_o it_o infect_v one_o man_n must_v infect_v all_o but_o some_o will_v say_v all_o man_n body_n be_v not_o full_a of_o humour_n object_n if_o they_o be_v all_o will_v be_v infect_v i_o answer_v then_o by_o my_o opposite_n argument_n the_o fault_n lie_v in_o the_o humour_n that_o be_v within_o answ_n the_o body_n not_o in_o the_o infection_n which_o be_v without_o if_o he_o fly_v will_v these_o putrify_a humour_n continue_v in_o his_o body_n and_o he_o remain_v in_o health_n if_o so_o how_o then_o come_v disease_n or_o will_v a_o infect_a air_n change_v a_o disease_n which_o will_v be_v but_o bad_a at_o the_o best_a if_o so_o show_v a_o rule_n in_o physic_n and_o i_o be_o satisfy_v experience_n satisfy_v you_o may_v find_v some_o notable_a proof_n to_o the_o contrary_a in_o my_o astrological_a experience_n but_o cleanse_v the_o body_n of_o these_o humour_n let_v all_o man_n do_v so_o and_o then_o come_v to_o a_o visit_v person_n and_o then_o by_o my_o opposite_n own_o confession_n they_o will_v not_o be_v infect_v and_o how_o then_o can_v the_o disease_n be_v infection_n and_o infect_v no_o body_n my_o second_o argument_n i_o frame_v thus_o that_o disease_n arg._n 2_o the_o rain_v of_o which_o may_v be_v foresee_v by_o more_o secret_a cause_n in_o nature_n long_o before_o it_o come_v can_v not_o be_v increase_v by_o visit_v the_o sick_a nor_o diminish_v by_o abstain_v from_o they_o but_o the_o pestilence_n may_v and_o always_o be_v foresee_v long_o before_o it_o come_v therefore_o you_o will_v have_v it_o never_o the_o soonner_n by_o visit_v those_o that_o be_v sick_a of_o it_o nor_o escape_v ever_o a_o whit_n the_o long_o by_o abstain_v from_o it_o the_o major_n be_v clear_a for_o
