A93809	Natures explication and Helmont's vindication. Or A short and sure way to a long and sound life: being a necessary and full apology for chymical medicaments, and a vindication of their excellency against those unworthy reproaches cast on the art and its professors (such as were Paracelsus and Helmont) by Galenists, usually called Methodists. Whose method so adored, is examined, and their art weighed in the ballance of sound reason and true philosophy, and are found too light in reference to their promises, and their patients expectation. The remedy of which defects is taught, and effectual medicaments discovered for the effectual cure of all both acute and chronical diseases. / By George Starkey, a philosopher made by the fire, and a professor of that medicine which is real and not histrionical.	Starkey, George, 1627-1665.; Helmont, Franciscus Mercurius van, 1614-1699.	1658 (1658)	Wing S5280; Thomason E1635_2; ESTC R13346	111,247	400

therefore_o just_o say_v the_o wise_a man_n that_o in_o much_o knowledge_n be_v much_o vanity_n and_o vexation_n of_o spirit_n but_o this_o only_a as_o a_o digression_n to_o return_v therefore_o we_o

as_o virulent_a too_o hot_a and_o therefore_o unfit_a to_o be_v give_v as_o oft_o in_o ftead_n of_o cure_v increase_a the_o disease_n they_o be_v say_v they_o a_o little_a too_o strong_a for_o our_o

which_o therefore_o in_o stead_n of_o cool_v and_o refresh_v do_v inflame_v the_o body_n inward_o therefore_o say_v the_o such_o medicine_n be_v dangerous_a and_o desperate_a which_o if_o they_o be_v

to_o speak_v the_o truth_n the_o only_a main_a objection_n which_o galenist_n usual_o produce_v against_o chemical_a medicine_n and_o this_o they_o varnish_v over_o with_o many_o specious_a colour_n to_o make_v the_o patient_a believe_v that_o to_o meddle_v with_o a_o chemical_a medicament_n be_v no_o other_o than_o to_o cast_v out_o the_o devil_n by_o delzebub_n or_o according_a to_o the_o old_a

to_o the_o eye_n of_o any_o judicious_a man_n to_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a morino_n which_o the_o galenist_n have_v invent_v to_o scare_v the_o rude_a and_o ignorant_a with_o as_o nurse_n use_v to_o
