A45272	A corner-stone laid towards the building of a new colledge (that is to say, a new body of physicians) in London upon occasion of the vexations and oppressive proceedings acted in the name of the society called the Colledge of Physicians : for the better information of all men, as well as of physicians, chirurgians, and apothecaries, touching the unhappy estate of the art of physick, here in England, it being an apology for the better education of physicians / by Adrian Huyberts.

that_o the_o old_a art_n and_o remedy_n be_v insufficient_a to_o deal_v with_o they_o and_o therefore_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o society_n of_o apothecary_n of_o london_n have_v wise_o
