be_v to_o please_v the_o audience_n be_v ancient_o perhaps_o better_o answer_v than_o now_o though_o a_o modern_a master_n will_v then_o have_v be_v dissatisfied_n because_o such_o consort_n as_o the_o ancient_a symphony_n proper_o be_v in_o which_o several_a instrument_n and_o perhaps_o voice_n play_v and_o sing_v the_o same_o part_n together_o can_v discover_v the_o extent_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o art_n which_o here_o only_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v so_o much_o as_o the_o composition_n of_o our_o modern_a opera_n from_o all_o this_o it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v not_o unreasonable_a to_o conclude_v that_o though_o 45._o those_o charm_n of_o music_n by_o which_o man_n and_o beast_n fish_n fowl_n and_o serpent_n be_v so_o frequent_o enchant_v and_o their_o very_a nature_n change_v be_v real_o and_o irrecoverable_o lose_v yet_o the_o art_n of_o music_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o sing_v and_o play_v upon_o harmonious_a instrument_n be_v in_o itself_o much_o a_o perfect_a thing_n though_o perhaps_o not_o much_o pleasant_a to_o a_o unskilful_a audience_n than_o it_o ever_o be_v among_o the_o ancient_a greek_n and_o roman_n chap._n xxv_o of_o ancient_n and_o modern_a physic_n after_o these_o mathematical_a science_n it_o be_v convenient_a to_o go_v to_o those_o which_o be_v more_o proper_o physical_a and_o in_o our_o language_n alone_o peculiarly_a so_o call_v what_o these_o want_n in_o certainty_n they_o have_v make_v up_o in_o usefulness_n for_o if_o life_n and_o health_n be_v the_o great_a good_a thing_n which_o we_o can_v enjoy_v here_o a_o conjectural_a knowledge_n that_o may_v but_o sometime_o give_v we_o relief_n when_o those_o be_v in_o danger_n be_v much_o more_o valuable_a than_o a_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o other_o thing_n which_o can_v only_o employ_v the_o understanding_n or_o furnish_v we_o with_o such_o conveniency_n as_o may_v be_v spare_v since_o we_o see_v that_o several_a nation_n which_o never_o have_v they_o live_v very_o happy_o and_o do_v very_o great_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n before_o i_o begin_v my_o comparison_n between_o ancient_n and_o modern_a skill_n in_o physic_n it_o may_v be_v necessary_a to_o state_n the_o difference_n between_o a_o empirick_a and_o a_o rational_a physician_n and_o to_o inquire_v how_o far_o a_o rational_a physician_n may_v reason_v right_a as_o to_o what_o relate_v to_o the_o cure_n of_o his_o patient_n distemper_n though_o his_o general_a hypothesis_n be_v wrong_a and_o his_o theory_n in_o themselves_o consider_v insufficient_a a_o empirick_n be_v proper_o he_o who_o without_o consider_v the_o constitution_n of_o his_o patient_n the_o symptom_n of_o his_o disease_n or_o those_o circumstance_n of_o his_o case_n which_o arise_v from_o outward_a accident_n administer_v such_o physic_n as_o have_v former_o do_v good_a to_o some_o body_n else_o that_o be_v torment_v with_o a_o disease_n which_o be_v call_v by_o the_o same_o name_n with_o this_o that_o his_o patient_n now_o labour_v under_o a_o rational_a physician_n be_v he_o who_o critical_o inquire_v into_o the_o constitution_n and_o peculiar_a accident_n of_o life_n of_o the_o person_n to_o who_o he_o be_v to_o administer_v who_o weigh_v all_o the_o know_a virtue_n of_o the_o medicine_n which_o may_v be_v think_v proper_a to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n who_o balance_n all_o the_o symptom_n and_o from_o past_a observation_n find_v which_o have_v be_v fatal_a and_o which_o safe_a which_o arise_v from_o outward_a accident_n and_o which_o from_o the_o disease_n itself_o and_o who_o thence_o collect_v which_o ought_v soon_o to_o be_v remove_v which_o may_v be_v neglect_v and_o which_o shall_v be_v preserve_v or_o augment_v and_o thereupon_o prescribe_v according_o now_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o such_o a_o man_n prescription_n may_v be_v very_o valuable_a because_o found_v upon_o repeat_v observation_n of_o the_o phaenomena_n of_o all_o disease_n and_o he_o may_v form_v secondary_a theory_n which_o like_o ptolemee_n eccentrick_n and_o epicycle_n shall_v be_v good_a guide_n to_o practice_n not_o by_o give_v a_o certain_a insight_n into_o the_o first_o cause_n and_o several_a step_n by_o which_o the_o disease_n first_o begin_v and_o be_v afterward_o carry_v on_o but_o by_o enable_v the_o physician_n to_o make_v lucky_a conjecture_n at_o proper_a course_n and_o fit_a medicine_n whereby_o to_o relieve_v or_o cure_v his_o patient_n and_o this_o may_v be_v equal_o successful_a whether_o he_o resolve_v every_o thing_n into_o hot_a or_o cold_a moist_a or_o dry_a into_o acid_n or_o alkali_n into_o salt_n sulphur_n or_o mercury_n or_o into_o any_o thing_n else_o he_o do_v not_o know_v for_o instance_n that_o hospital_n bile_n and_o the_o pancreatic_a juice_n be_v the_o main_a instrument_n of_o digestion_n yet_o he_o see_v that_o his_o patient_n digest_v his_o meat_n with_o great_a difficulty_n he_o be_v sure_a that_o as_o long_o as_o that_o last_v the_o sick_a man_n can_v have_v a_o good_a habit_n of_o body_n he_o find_v that_o the_o distemper_n arise_v sometime_o though_o not_o always_o from_o a_o visible_a cause_n and_o he_o have_v try_v the_o goodness_n of_o such_o and_o such_o medicine_n in_o seem_o parallel_a case_n he_o may_v be_v able_a therefore_o to_o give_v very_o excellent_a advice_n though_o he_o can_v perhaps_o dive_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o distemper_n so_o well_o as_o another_o man_n who_o have_v great_a anatomical_a help_n and_o be_v accustom_v to_o reason_n upon_o more_o certain_a physiological_a principle_n have_v make_v a_o strict_a enquiry_n into_o that_o very_a case_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n though_o he_o can_v be_v say_v to_o know_v so_o much_o of_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o disease_n as_o that_o other_o man_n yet_o perhaps_o their_o method_n of_o practice_n notwithstanding_o the_o great_a disparity_n of_o each_o other_o knowledge_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o main_a the_o same_o though_o all_o this_o seem_v very_o certain_a yet_o in_o the_o argument_n before_o we_o it_o be_v not_o a_o easy_a thing_n to_o state_n the_o question_n so_o equal_o as_o to_o satisfy_v all_o contend_a side_n he_o that_o look_v into_o the_o write_n of_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o rational_a physician_n as_o they_o call_v themselves_o by_o way_n of_o eminence_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o those_o who_o about_o fifty_o year_n ago_o set_v up_o hypocrates_n and_o galen_n as_o the_o parent_n and_o perfecter_n of_o medicinal_a knowledge_n will_v find_v throughout_o all_o their_o write_n great_a contempt_n of_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o plain_o deducible_a from_o those_o text_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n if_o he_o dip_v into_o the_o book_n of_o the_o chemical_a philosopher_n he_o will_v meet_v with_o equal_a scorn_n of_o those_o book_n and_o method_n which_o they_o in_o derision_n have_v call_v galenical_a and_o yet_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o practise_v physician_n of_o both_o party_n have_v often_o wrought_v very_o extraordinary_a cure_n by_o their_o own_o method_n so_o that_o there_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v equal_a injustice_n of_o all_o hand_n in_o exclude_v all_o method_n of_o cure_n not_o build_v upon_o their_o own_o principle_n here_o therefore_o without_o be_v positive_a in_o a_o dispute_n about_o which_o the_o party_n concern_v be_v not_o themselves_o agree_v i_o shall_v only_o offer_v these_o few_o thing_n 1._o that_o if_o the_o greatness_n of_o any_o one_o particular_a genius_n be_v all_o that_o be_v to_o be_v look_v after_o hypocrates_n alone_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v the_o man_n who_o assertion_n in_o the_o practical_a part_n of_o physic_n may_v be_v blind_o receive_v for_o he_o without_o the_o help_n of_o any_o great_a assistance_n that_o we_o know_v of_o do_v that_o which_o if_o it_o be_v still_o to_o do_v will_v seem_v sufficient_a to_o employ_v the_o unite_a force_n of_o more_o than_o one_o age._n he_o be_v scrupulous_o exact_v in_o distinguish_a disease_n in_o observe_v the_o proper_a symptom_n of_o each_o and_o take_v notice_n of_o their_o time_n and_o accident_n thereby_o to_o make_v a_o judgement_n how_o far_o they_o may_v be_v esteem_v dangerous_a and_o how_o far_o safe_a herein_o his_o particular_a excellency_n seem_v to_o have_v lie_v and_o this_o in_o the_o order_n of_o knowledge_n be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o a_o rational_a physician_n ought_v to_o make_v himself_o master_n of_o which_o be_v a_o sure_a argument_n that_o hypocrates_n thorough_o understand_v what_o thing_n be_v necessary_a for_o he_o to_o study_v with_o the_o great_a care_n in_o order_n to_o make_v his_o write_n always_o useful_a to_o posterity_n 2._o that_o though_o we_o shall_v allow_v the_o method_n of_o
