greatelye_a lament_v the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o people_n who_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v persuade_v that_o one_o medicine_n be_v sufficient_a for_o one_o disease_n &_o not_o regard_v that_o one_o disease_n may_v come_v of_o sundry_a cause_n and_o therefore_o it_o do_v necessary_o require_v diverse_a medicine_n as_o for_o example_n weakness_n of_o the_o stomach_n that_o it_o can_v digest_v well_o or_o that_o it_o have_v no_o good_a appetite_n be_v one_o disease_n which_o nevertheless_o may_v come_v a_o dozen_o sundry_a way_n at_o the_o least_o therefore_o the_o cure_n of_o it_o can_v be_v always_o with_o one_o medicine_n as_o if_o weakness_n of_o the_o stomach_n do_v come_v of_o a_o weak_a distempure_a of_o itself_o only_o than_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v make_v hot_a by_o some_o mean_n but_o if_o heat_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o weakness_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v cool_v likewise_o you_o must_v moisten_v dryness_n and_o dry_a moisture_n but_o if_o the_o weakness_n do_v come_v of_o some_o superfluous_a humour_n that_o both_o abound_v which_o have_v flow_v into_o the_o stomach_n or_o have_v be_v there_o engender_v then_o must_v that_o ill_a humour_n of_o necessity_n be_v purge_v out_o either_o by_o a_o vomit_n or_o else_o a_o purgation_n with_o a_o meek_a medicine_n for_o it_o and_o if_o it_o be_v phlegm_n then_o with_o a_o medicine_n that_o expel_v sleame_n but_o if_o choler_n be_v abound_v there_o then_o must_v it_o be_v such_o a_o medicine_n as_o do_v purge_v choler_n and_o likewise_o for_o melancholy_a a_o meet_a purgation_n must_v be_v use_v to_o expel_v the_o humour_n but_o if_o the_o imbecility_n of_o the_o stomach_n be_v cause_v by_o a_o distillation_n and_o rheum_n that_o fall_v out_o of_o the_o head_n into_o it_o then_o be_v the_o cure_n to_o be_v remedy_v in_o y●_z head_n and_o not_o in_o the_o stomach_n likewise_o if_o distempure_a of_o the_o liver_n or_o spleen_n do_v weaken_v the_o stomach_n than_o the_o cure_n consist_v in_o the_o heal_n of_o those_o member_n and_o not_o in_o minister_a of_o any_o thing_n for_o the_o stomach_n therefore_o let_v no_o man_n think_v it_o sufficient_a for_o the_o physician_n if_o he_o know_v that_o a_o man_n have_v such_o a_o disease_n as_o the_o ague_n the_o colic_n the_o flix_a or_o such_o other_o like_o etc._n etc._n that_o then_o he_o may_v straight_a way_n if_o he_o be_v skilful_a minister_v a_o medicine_n meet_v for_o it_o no_o not_o foe_n but_o he_o must_v first_o search_v by_o all_o mean_v possible_a the_o very_a cause_n itself_o of_o the_o disease_n which_o many_o ignorant_a people_n do_v persuade_v themselves_o that_o a_o skilful_a physician_n may_v do_v in_o all_o disease_n by_o the_o only_a sight_n &_o inspection_n of_o the_o urine_n but_o alas_o they_o be_v altogether_o deceive_v and_o for_o to_o come_v to_o y●_z knowledge_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o some_o inward_a disease_n the_o urine_n profit_v
