a_o vindication_n of_o chemistry_n and_o chemical_a medicine_n courteous_a and_o candid_a reader_n chemistry_n be_v a_o art_n that_o do_v both_o teach_v and_o enable_v we_o for_o our_o exceed_a good_a and_o benefit_n to_o separate_v purity_n from_o impurity_n exalt_v and_o advance_v what_o god_n and_o nature_n have_v give_v we_o to_o a_o far_o and_o high_a perfection_n than_o we_o receive_v it_o endue_v with_o for_o all_o body_n more_o or_o less_o partake_v of_o the_o grossness_n and_o terrestriety_n of_o their_o matrix_n but_o after_o their_o essential_a purity_n be_v separate_v from_o that_o terrestriety_n adhere_v which_o they_o draw_v from_o their_o matrix_n they_o make_v it_o plain_a enough_o by_o their_o powerful_a effect_n that_o it_o be_v to_o this_o state_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v reduce_v before_o they_o work_v with_o efficacy_n and_o yet_o they_o still_o retain_v their_o character_n and_o internal_a idea_n now_o if_o we_o shall_v well_o and_o true_o consider_v it_o what_o have_v we_o in_o this_o curious_a nice_a age_n either_o for_o back_n or_o belly_n pleasure_n or_o necessity_n that_o have_v not_o in_o some_o kind_a or_o other_o be_v oblige_v to_o chemistry_n and_o its_o beneficial_a operation_n for_o that_o perfection_n we_o receive_v it_o in_o what_o call_v may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v attain_v to_o the_o perfection_n and_o hight_v it_o now_o glory_n in_o without_o its_o help_n in_o some_o one_o or_o other_o of_o its_o more_o sublime_a or_o trivial_a operation_n consider_v our_o bread_n our_o beer_n wine_n meat_n etc._n etc._n or_o whatever_o can_v render_v our_o life_n happy_a or_o satisfactory_a and_o you_o will_v find_v it_o in_o one_o degree_n or_o other_o to_o pass_v under_o the_o hand_n of_o chemistry_n and_o its_o various_a operation_n or_o preparation_n and_o can_v we_o then_o be_v thus_o insensible_o lead_v to_o admit_v its_o daily_a help_n and_o assistance_n in_o thing_n of_o small_a value_n and_o can_v we_o be_v so_o stupid_a dull_a ignorant_a and_o blind_a as_o to_o neglect_v its_o assistance_n in_o thing_n of_o great_a moment_n and_o concern_v and_o not_o only_o neglect_v its_o friendly_a advice_n but_o deny_v its_o profitable_a hand_n in_o those_o thing_n which_o above_o all_o other_o we_o most_o need_v its_o help_n in_o nay_o we_o do_v not_o only_o deny_v it_o make_v we_o happy_a but_o we_o seek_v by_o all_o mean_v possible_a to_o disgrace_v slander_n and_o make_v it_o and_o its_o professor_n contemptible_a and_o odious_a to_o the_o whole_a world_n doubtless_o these_o be_v great_a folly_n and_o we_o declare_v ourselves_o either_o very_a ignorant_a or_o else_o very_o malicious_a and_o self-ended_n can_v we_o with_o ease_n and_o content_n admit_v and_o allow_v its_o favour_n and_o greedy_o seek_v after_o they_o to_o improve_v and_o maintain_v our_o purse_n and_o pleasure_n and_o can_v we_o admit_v and_o embrace_v its_o help_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o our_o health_n without_o which_o the_o other_o will_v be_v of_o little_a benefit_n and_o less_o pleasure_n consider_v if_o nature_n be_v weaken_v and_o oppress_v that_o she_o can_v accept_v of_o her_o usual_a and_o accostomed_a food_n so_o as_o she_o will_v and_o aught_o to_o dispose_v of_o it_o for_o the_o supply_n of_o her_o spirit_n and_o maintain_v of_o her_o habitation_n and_o if_o she_o can_v in_o her_o ordinary_a course_n so_o play_v the_o chemist_n as_o usual_a doubtless_o she_o be_v less_o able_a to_o do_v it_o in_o that_o which_o the_o very_a name_n as_o well_o as_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o make_v she_o utter_o to_o abhor_v and_o reject_v and_o if_o she_o be_v not_o strong_a enough_o to_o separate_v the_o essenses_n of_o her_o daily_a and_o accustom_a food_n how_o shall_v she_o extract_v any_o thing_n from_o her_o physic_n if_o give_v gross_a that_o may_v give_v she_o that_o rerelief_a which_o her_o present_a condition_n require_v and_o call_v for_o she_o viz._n nature_n have_v a_o double_a

therefore_o in_o this_o ease_n be_v far_o better_a to_o save_v she_o the_o labour_n of_o separation_n in_o this_o her_o weaken_a condition_n for_o although_o nature_n herself_o when_o in_o health_n can_v digest_v her_o food_n when_o dress_v and_o separate_v the_o alimental_a part_n to_o herself_o and_o make_v use_v of_o it_o for_o sustentation_n and_o cast_v off_o the_o gross_a as_o useless_a yet_o her_o medicine_n must_v be_v pure_a digest_v and_o separate_v and_o fit_v for_o her_o use_n for_o if_o she_o can_v digest_v her_o food_n than_o not_o gross_a medicine_n her_o food_n when_o in_o health_n may_v be_v gross_a because_o she_o can_v dispose_v of_o it_o to_o advantage_n but_o when_o disease_a her_o physic_n must_v be_v pure_a separate_v and_o fit_a for_o her_o use_n viz._n to_o join_v with_o the_o spirit_n or_o natural_a life_n in_o man_n and_o in_o this_o the_o physician_n be_v right_o style_v nature_n handmaid_n but_o not_o for_o load_v she_o with_o more_o impurity_n but_o in_o assistng_a and_o help_v she_o to_o cast_v off_o impurity_n by_o that_o which_o be_v pure_a for_o of_o necessity_n either_o the_o physician_n or_o nature_n must_v officiate_v or_o act_v as_o chemist_n before_o she_o can_v have_v or_o receive_v what_o she_o call_v for_o and_o require_v for_o her_o help_n and_o assistance_n who_o therefore_o not_o drown_v in_o ignorance_n and_o envy_n
