ought_v to_o be_v the_o care_n of_o every_o physician_n to_o know_v they_o and_o to_o know_v they_o thorough_o for_o there_o be_v very_o many_o tedious_a disease_n and_o many_o malady_n incident_a to_o the_o body_n of_o man_n which_o be_v root_v out_o by_o these_o medicine_n which_o prolong_v life_n in_o this_o discourse_n of_o long_a life_n i_o will_v first_o give_v you_o the_o theory_n of_o

these_o two_o reason_n 1._o because_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v any_o certain_a day_n or_o hour_n of_o any_o man_n death_n 2_o because_o we_o have_v medicine_n prepare_v for_o we_o by_o he_o who_o have_v create_v we_o both_o to_o preserve_v we_o from_o disease_n and_o to_o drive_v out_o disease_n hence_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o neither_o disease_n bring_v death_n neither_o be_v death_n the_o cause_n of_o disease_n nay_o death_n and_o disease_n agree_v no_o better_a than_o fire_n and_o water_n a_o natural_a disease_n hate_v death_n as_o every_o part_n of_o the_o live_a body_n hate_v death_n i_o intend_v in_o this_o discourse_n to_o speak_v to_o those_o of_o my_o own_o way_n who_o by_o great_a skill_n and_o daily_a experience_n have_v search_v into_o and_o do_v know_v the_o propertie●_n and_o nature_n of_o thing_n which_o be_v hide_v and_o unknown_a to_o presumptuous_a and_o titular_a doctor_n and_o i_o do_v affirm_v this_o as_o a_o most_o certain_a truth_n that_o the_o body_n may_v be_v restore_v change_v to_o the_o better_a yea_o whole_o renew_v as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v plain_o see_v in_o metal_n which_o may_v be_v so_o purify_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v afterward_o free_a from_o any_o rust_n so_o likewise_o dead_a body_n if_o they_o be_v embalm_v do_v not_o putrify_v afterward_o some_o perhaps_o may_v dislike_v my_o write_n because_o they_o be_v

or_o may_v be_v do_v by_o nature_n as_o in_o this_o comparison_n of_o metal_n with_o the_o body_n of_o man_n i_o know_v that_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n betwixt_o these_o two_o yet_o they_o be_v both_o preserve_v one_o way_n as_o experience_n teach_v if_o a_o dead_a body_n can_v be_v preserve_v by_o balsam_n from_o putrefaction_n or_o decay_n how_o much_o more_o may_v a_o live_a body_n be_v so_o preserve_v now_o there_o be_v three_o part_n of_o man_n age_n viz._n young_a age_n middle_a age_n and_o old_a age_n and_o each_o of_o these_o must_v have_v such_o medicine_n for_o prolong_v

age_n we_o may_v likewise_o say_v that_o there_o be_v three_o part_n in_o long_a life_n according_a to_o those_o three_o part_n of_o man_n age_n for_o many_o may_v die_v in_o their_o infancy_n many_o in_o their_o middle_a age_n etc._n etc._n if_o their_o life_n be_v not_o prolong_v by_o the_o help_n of_o medicine_n we_o can_v have_v any_o certainty_n that_o a_o infant_n or_o a_o strong_a young_a man_n shall_v outlive_v a_o weak_a old_a man_n no_o part_n of_o man_n age_n have_v any_o certain_a time_n of_o death_n appoint_v to_o it_o the_o infant_n in_o the_o mother_n womb_n may_v have_v many_o

his_o body_n waste_v away_o and_o nature_n decay_v etc._n etc._n we_o must_v use_v the_o same_o method_n of_o cure_v he_o which_o be_v use_v for_o prolong_v life_n in_o old_a age_n viz._n by_o

it_o be_v to_o weakness_n and_o sickness_n it_o must_v be_v timous_o help_v and_o the_o medicine_n of_o long_a life_n be_v to_o be_v use_v but_o those_o old_a people_n who_o be_v free_a from_o sickness_n and_o have_v much_o of_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n they_o be_v only_o to_o use_v these_o medicine_n according_o as_o their_o necessity_n require_v remember_v then_o this_o threefold_a partition_n of_o the_o age_n of_o man_n viz._n young_a age_n which_o begin_v with_o infancy_n and_o continue_v to_o the_o full_a growth_n of_o the_o body_n middle_a age_n which_o begin_v when_o the_o

require_v such_o medicine_n of_o long_a life_n which_o be_v proper_a and_o most_o agreeable_a to_o they_o as_o be_v say_v before_o it_o may_v be_v this_o will_v be_v object_v to_o i_o by_o the_o empiric_n physician_n that_o if_o we_o may_v have_v such_o medicine_n for_o prevent_a death_n for_o cure_v disease_n and_o prolong_v life_n how_o then_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o great_a man_n as_o prince_n king_n emperor_n nobleman_n etc._n etc._n ordinary_o live_v not_o so_o long_o as_o other_o they_o be_v more_o subject_n to_o infirmity_n and_o disease_n than_o other_o so_o that_o they_o live_v not_o out_o the_o half_a of_o their_o day_n certain_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o medicine_n these_o great_a man_n will_v have_v they_o i_o answer_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o be_v well_o know_v to_o i_o and_o to_o those_o of_o my_o way_n we_o little_o regard_v such_o vain_a foolish_a unlearned_a objection_n yet_o i_o will_v answer_v it_o that_o i_o may_v give_v satisfaction_n to_o all_o who_o desire_v to_o be_v resolve_v in_o it_o and_o we_o say_v that_o we_o know_v not_o any_o king_n or_o prince_n in_o our_o time_n neither_o have_v hear_v nor_o read_v of_o any_o in_o former_a time_n who_o have_v use_v these_o medicine_n of_o long_a life_n except_o only_a hermes_n trismegistus_n or_o if_o there_o have_v be_v other_o they_o be_v not_o know_v to_o earthly_a man_n this_o i_o do_v not_o speak_v as_o in_o answer_n to_o the_o objection_n but_o my_o answer_n be_v this_o that_o the_o physician_n of_o king_n prince_n emperor_n etc._n etc._n do_v know_v less_o in_o physic_n they_o the_o country_n people_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o can_v bring_v health_n but_o death_n to_o their_o prince_n and_o while_o prince_n use_v the_o counsel_n of_o such_o physician_n it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v enjoy_v health_n and_o long_a life_n and_o this_o answer_n concern_v those_o ignorant_a doctor_n who_o have_v nothing_o of_o a_o physician_n but_o the_o name_n i_o give_v another_o answer_n to_o the_o objection_n which_o be_v this_o that_o the_o intemperance_n of_o great_a man_n be_v most_o often_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o short_a life_n and_o this_o they_o have_v as_o part_v of_o the_o reward_n of_o their_o wickedness_n and_o this_o i_o think_v sufficient_a for_o answer_v to_o this_o objection_n chap._n ii_o the_o division_n of_o medicine_n according_a to_o the_o difference_n of_o disease_n and_o what_o be_v the_o chief_a use_n of_o medicine_n you_o have_v hear_v that_o as_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a difference_n of_o man_n age_n so_o there_o must_v be_v three_o kind_n of_o medicine_n for_o each_o age_n have_v its_o medicine_n proper_a to_o it_o now_o i_o will_v show_v you_o the_o several_a kind_n of_o disease_n and_o the_o several_a way_n of_o cure_v those_o disease_n and_o first_o some_o disease_n come_v of_o intemperate_a disorderly_o live_v as_o hydropsie_n jaundice_n gout_n falling-sickness_n pleurisy_n etc._n etc._n and_o some_o disease_n come_v from_o the_o time_n and_o season_n &_o other_o accident_n concur_v with_o disorderly_a live_n as_o pestilence_n madness_n etc._n etc._n these_o kind_n of_o disease_n be_v cure_v by_o the_o medicine_n of_o long_a life_n second_o some_o disease_n be_v natural_a which_o proceed_v of_o natural_a external_a cause_n and_o those_o disease_n be_v to_o be_v cure_v by_o natural_a medicine_n some_o disease_n be_v unnatural_a viz._n such_o as_o come_v by_o enchantment_n superstition_n etc._n etc._n i_o wish_v our_o physician_n not_o to_o meddle_v with_o such_o disease_n for_o they_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o come_v upon_o people_n by_o god_n permission_n as_o punishment_n and_o if_o so_o they_o be_v not_o curable_a i_o know_v much_o may_v be_v do_v in_o this_o case_n by_o image_n ring_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v preservative_n of_o life_n of_o which_o i_o will_v not_o speak_v here_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o they_o elsewhere_o for_o it_o belong_v to_o astronomy_n to_o treat_v of_o they_o three_o disease_n which_o proceed_v not_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o body_n or_o from_o weakness_n but_o otherwise_o they_o must_v be_v cure_v before_o you_o use_v the_o preserve_a medicine_n if_o the_o disease_n be_v hide_v and_o unknown_a you_o ought_v not_o to_o meddle_v with_o it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v such_o a_o disease_n as_o the_o gout_n fall_v sickness_n etc._n etc._n it_o may_v be_v cure_v by_o use_v only_o the_o preserve_a medicine_n not_o to_o pass_v over_o altogether_o those_o disease_n which_o be_v from_o imagination_n or_o by_o superstition_n or_o by_o enchantment_n etc._n etc._n i_o will_v here_o brief_o show_v you_o the_o cure_n of_o they_o and_o how_o you_o may_v be_v preserve_v from_o they_o 1._o mental_a disease_n must_v be_v cure_v in_o a_o mental_a way_n 2._o disease_n which_o be_v from_o our_o own_o imagination_n must_v be_v cure_v by_o object_n 3._o disease_n which_o be_v from_o the_o imagination_n of_o

strength_n 2._o to_o preserve_v we_o from_o accidental_a disease_n 3._o from_o mental_a disease_n 4._o from_o enchantment_n 5._o from_o imagination_n of_o other_o 6._o from_o our_o own_o imagination_n 7._o from_o superstition_n you_o see_v i_o make_v no_o mention_n of_o the_o four_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n in_o this_o business_n of_o long_a life_n because_o i_o find_v that_o the_o conservation_n of_o the_o body_n and_o prolongation_n of_o life_n be_v only_o from_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n and_o not_o from_o the_o good_a temperature_n of_o the_o four_o humour_n nay_o in_o any_o cure_n the_o four_o humour_n be_v not_o to_o be_v regard_v but_o only_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n which_o renew_v and_o cherish_v those_o humour_n and_o therefore_o that_o physician_n who_o think_v by_o rectify_v the_o humour_n to_o make_v up_o the_o defect_n of_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n he_o be_v like_o that_o man_n who_o have_v suppress_v the_o flame_n think_v he_o have_v quench_v the_o fire_n and_o leave_v the_o live_v coal_n he_o who_o will_v preserve_v a_o tree_n must_v be_v more_o careful_a of_o the_o root_n then_o the_o branch_n because_o the_o branch_n have_v all_o their_o nourishment_n and_o virtue_n from_o the_o root_n and_o if_o we_o do_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o branch_n when_o they_o be_v faulty_a our_o principal_a aim_n therein_o be_v to_o cherish_v the_o life_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o root_n for_o hence_o the_o branch_n have_v their_o life_n and_o virtue_n now_o as_o the_o root_n of_o the_o tree_n be_v to_o the_o branch_n so_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o nature_n to_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n so_o that_o if_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n be_v distemper_v we_o do_v not_o therefore_o lose_v our_o health_n unless_o by_o this_o distemper_n the_o root_n of_o life_n etc._n etc._n the_o strength_n of_o nature_n be_v wrong_v and_o therefore_o what_o we_o do_v in_o rectify_v the_o distemper_n of_o humour_n we_o do_v it_o for_o the_o conservation_n and_o cherish_v the_o strength_n of_o nature_n this_o be_v the_o chief_a thing_n we_o aim_v at_o in_o the_o use_n of_o medicine_n chap._n iii_o what_o life_n be_v whether_o and_o how_o it_o may_v be_v prolong_v that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o short_a life_n &_o long_a life_n it_o be_v

〈…〉_o the_o ancient_a physician_n i_o conceive_v it_o fit_a that_o now_o i_o shall_v describe_v the_o black_a hellebore_n and_o the_o benefit_n of_o it_o to_o old_a age_n whereby_o you_o may_v also_o know_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o white_a hellebore_n and_o first_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o preparation_n of_o black_a hellebore_n which_o be_v use_v by_o the_o physician_n in_o ancient_a time_n it_o be_v thus_o the_o hellebore_n be_v to_o be_v pull_v up_o out_o of_o the_o ground_n when_o the_o moon_n be_v in_o some_o of_o those_o sign_n of_o heaven_n which_o be_v call_v sign_n of_o conservation_n then_o take_v the_o herb_n and_o dry_v they_o in_o the_o shade_n with_o a_o dry_a east_n wind_n afterward_o beat_v they_o to_o a_o fine_a powder_n with_o pure_a white_a sugar_n of_o equal_a weight_n with_o they_o so_o you_o have_v the_o powder_n as_o it_o be_v make_v by_o the_o ancient_a physician_n who_o use_v all_o the_o way_n they_o can_v to_o get_v the_o true_a essence_n of_o this_o herb_n but_o they_o can_v never_o do_v it_o and_o therefore_o they_o content_v themselves_o w●th_o this_o powder_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o so_o much_o s●ught_v after_o the_o essence_n of_o this_o herb_n be_v this_o because_o they_o find_v by_o experience_n a_o wonderful_a nature_n and_o property_n in_o this_o herb_n for_o those_o who_o be_v pass_v fifty_o year_n of_o age_n by_o the_o daily_o

by_o some_o skilful_a physician_n indeed_o they_o who_o seek_v so_o much_o after_o the_o true_a essence_n of_o this_o herb_n do_v it_o not_o rash_o for_o what_o herb_n be_v like_a to_o this_o or_o what_o other_o herb_n can_v as_o this_o give_v a_o firm_a vigorous_a and_o last_a life_n to_o old_a age_n for_o it_o preserve_v we_o from_o all_o external_a infection_n or_o inward_a putrefaction_n and_o will_v keep_v a_o man_n always_o in_o a_o good_a temper_n that_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o old_a age_n without_o any_o sickness_n and_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v worth_a our_o pain_n if_o we_o

iii_o the_o cure_n of_o the_o falling-sickness_n with_o black_a hellebore_n and_o the_o several_a way_n of_o prepare_v it_o the_o root_n of_o this_o hellebore_n cure_v four_o disease_n viz._n the_o

they_o elsewhere_o now_o in_o this_o place_n i_o speak_v only_o of_o bodily_a disease_n as_o for_o those_o disease_n who_o spirit_n be_v altogether_o in_o thing_n bodily_a and_o can_v subsist_v without_o those_o body_n their_o spirit_n die_v with_o the_o body_n but_o where_o there_o be_v a_o impression_n from_o the_o star_n there_o art_n appear_v most_o of_o all_o in_o remove_v of_o that_o but_o now_o to_o come_v to_o our_o business_n in_o hand_n to_o show_v you_o how_o those_o four_o disease_n mention_v before_o be_v cure_v by_o this_o root_n there_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v a_o difference_n among_o purge_v medicine_n some_o of_o they_o purge_v slimy_a humour_n which_o by_o purge_v do_v remove_v the_o humour_n but_o do_v not_o impair_v the_o specifical_a disease_n i._n e._n they_o do_v not_o touch_v the_o disease_n itself_o in_o the_o root_n of_o it_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o humorist_n who_o say_v that_o all_o disease_n come_v from_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n their_o whole_a art_n consist_v only_o in_o purge_v and_o they_o do_v no_o good_a by_o it_o but_o oft_o time_n miserable_o kill_v disease_v person_n by_o it_o if_o they_o know_v the_o specifical_a purge_a medicine_n than_o they_o be_v in_o the_o right_a way_n of_o purge_v now_o concern_v the_o root_n of_o black_a hellebore_n observe_v that_o it_o purge_v two_o way_n it_o purge_v specifical_o and_o it_o purge_v gross_a humour_n by_o these_o two_o way_n it_o cure_v the_o falling-sickness_n here_o observe_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v slow_a in_o purge_v gross_a humour_n otherwise_o the_o sick_a person_n may_v be_v much_o wrong_v so_o as_o the_o epileptic_a humour_n may_v be_v purge_v out_o with_o other_o humour_n therefore_o a_o physician_n shall_v be_v skilful_a in_o consider_v the_o time_n order_n and_o manner_n of_o give_v physic_n according_a to_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o sick_a person_n in_o former_a time_n those_o who_o be_v trouble_v with_o the_o faling-sicknesse_n be_v first_o to_o eat_v the_o root_n itself_o afterward_o they_o be_v to_o take_v it_o in_o milk_n and_o last_o they_o be_v to_o take_v it_o with_o other_o mixture_n but_o now_o in_o our_o time_n the_o disease_n be_v more_o violent_a and_o the_o poison_n of_o it_o more_o heighten_v therefore_o of_o necessity_n the_o physician_n must_v make_v his_o physic_n strong_a leave_v it_o be_v not_o able_a to_o overcome_v the_o disease_n now_o i_o will_v give_v you_o my_o counsel_n and_o show_v you_o how_o this_o disease_n may_v be_v cure_v as_o i_o have_v find_v by_o experience_n
