Phylosophers all agree and the derivation of the very word Air from the Greek word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Spiro denotes the same being Compos'd of two Vowels Alpha and Omega as Principium finis Vitae which is the beginning and end of Mans Life is here Clear Serene Lucid void of any stinking Mephitis or Damps arising from Boggs or Fens which may occasion Epidemical Distempers in the Blood but to the contrary the whole Ambient of the Horizon is fill'd with an inexhaustable Series of Odoriferous and Fragrant Effluviums incessantly exhaling from sweet scented Herbs and Plants that grow in these parts The Air thus embodied we perpetually inspire which arise and Analogically speaking Spiritualize our Minds far beyond all Exotick either Natural or Artificial Perfumes Moreover at Tunbridge you find conference with Eminent and Famous Wits which is the most Fruitful and Natural Exercise of the Mind the use of which is more sweet than any other action of our Life The Study of Books is a Languishing and Feeble motion in respect of it For what is delivered Viva Voce with a Lively Voice makes a deeper Impression in the Mind and consequently more advantagious than Reading Sic variis animum studiis Tunbrigia mulcet ut vix absentes possis lugere Penates Much more may be said of the various and manisold Benefits and Comforts you may receive at Tunbridge which I now supersede hoping these I mentioned are Allurements strong enough to invite if not a Magnetism to draw Men thither It 's rare to Write any thing to that perfection as to rescind the occasion of all objections from Cavillers Wherefore what I have said of the Virtues of these Waters would not be sufficient if I do not obviate also such Objections as may raise Scruples in the minds of these who make use of them The First Objection is That many soon after drinking of these Waters died and that others by the use of them receive no benefit Whence they infer these Waters to be Improper Noxious Lethiferous and not fit to be drunk by Men. Vina bibant homines animantia caetera Fontes Absit ab humano pectore potus Aquae Let none but Cattle Water drink That fit for Men no Man can think As for the first Objection I confess one may die soon after taking Waters and so may he after taking any thing else Not that the Waters duly prescribed are occasion of Death but through Irregularity Disorder or neglect of something that was to be done in order to the taking of them Death may ensue Nay Men may die immediately or soon after taking things indifferent in themselves and void of any Medicinal or Alterative quality as for example after eating Bread and Butter or drinking a Glass of Wine It doth not therefore follow that this last thing they eat or drunk cause their Bane and that no Man ought to eat or drink any more of this kind of Food Secondly Some of those who drink Waters may have a Malady of Cacoethes Nature or of such a contumacy and so far radicated that it illudes all Energie of Chalybeats or any sort of Physick * Non est in Medico semper releuetur ut aeger nam Doctâ interdum plus valet orte malum ovidius It does not follow therefore that this Martial Remedy is ineffectual in its self in order to cure other Maladies of a different Nature by reason of the impregnable habit and rooting of some incurable Distempers Non defamanda praesidia quae aliis profuere Celsus Remedies which have done others good are not to be undervalued * Actiones activorum sunt in subjecto disposito they exert their Operation according to the dispositon of the subject on which they work The Sun for example with the same heat melts the Wax and hardens the Clay Limus ut hic durescit haec ut cera liquescit uno eodemque igne Virgilius and by this reason that which is one Mans Meat may prove anothers Poyson So likewise these Waters if used with a Physicians Advice and due consideration prove Effectual and Salubrious But taken without it and by an indispos'd or unprepar'd Bodies may be Noxious and sometimes Morti-ferous Wherefore since all things do not agree with all Persons nay nor the same thing always or a long time with the same person therefore the careful Observation and daily Advice of a Prudent Physician is here necessary that by Indications taken from things that do good or hurt the Method of Cure may be rightly ordered and now and then changed Willis Capite de colico These Waters kill and expel all manner of Worms ingendered either in the Stomach Intestines Matrix or in any other part of the Body Ryetius in his Observations of the Spaw-Waters makes mention of a Woman who laboured a long time with a Chronicki Distemper under the Doctors hands without receiving any benefit by all their Prescriptions and Physick that she had taken was at last advised to Chalybeat-Waters and by drinkig of them with Method and Continuance avoided several Worms of divers Shapes Figure and Longitude and was perfectly Cured They are a Polychrest Remedy serving for many uses and intentions they both Loosen and Bind Cool and make Hot Dry and Moisten Cure Distempers of divers State and Origen nay of contrary Natures and Dispositions as I said before Certainly a perfect Knowledge of their Idiosyncrasia and Properties wou'd reduce Physick to a narrower compass and to Prescribe well the Stadium Chalybeatum or Chalybeat course wou'd make the Studying of so many Volums of the parts of Physick unncessary for by the help of these Waters we prolong Mans life by a more facil and easier means than has hitherto been known Veritas ex puteo exathlanda Truth must be drawn out of a Well Provocat haec leniter Tunbrigia menstrua pridem Suppressa nimium sistit ubi illa fluunt Nostraque suppressos ut provocat ipsa vicissim Immodicos Fluxus sic quoque sistit Aqua Stringunt quippe suâ vi lymphae five relaxant Frigore tum corpus sive calore juvant Ecquis idem Medicamen eodem in corpore credat Adversa inter se pellere posse mala These Waters Virtue have to ope and close What may be call'd the Females Monthly Rose These Waters loosen and as firmly bind As in all Fluxes any one may find By their own virtue strengthen and relax Both heat and cool dry Clay and harden Wax 'T is strange that in one Body the same thing Shou'd cross-grain'd Maladies to cure bring Ecce quam sint Naturae Omnipotentis Dei prudentia potestate ductae admiranda opera quae Aquae istius limpidae at purae beneficio tot tamque inter se contrarios morbos curat id quod ars Medica sine Corporis noxä prestare nequit Ryetius in his Observations de Aquis Spadanis Behold the Wonderful Works of Nature guided by the Prudence and Power of the Almighty God that by the help of a limpid and clear Water she cures manifold nay contrary and opposit Maladies which the Art of Physick without great detriment to the Body cannot do To accelerate and promote the passing of these Waters by Vrine Ryetius advises some Drops of Spirit of Vitrol to be Instill'd into their Glasses of Water for Acids being endowed with a Diuretick and Penetrative Faculty depose the Serum and conveys it to the Reins to be sent forth by the Vreters To promote Evacuation by Seige he adviseth to mix some common Salt in Powder with the Waters and a Dram to every Pint more or less proportionating the quantity to the bearing of the Patient This gently expels the loose matter contain'd in the Ventricle and Intestines Purgeth Viscous Phlegm adhering to their Tunicles and Bilous Humours from the Pancreatick passages But it 's not to be taken indifferently by all Persons Dum juga montis aper dum flumen Piscis habebit Anchora fonsaegris hic sacra semper erit Ut bibat accurret rumpantur ut ilia Codris Germanus Scotus Belga Britannus Iber Hinc Populus Floret crescet Tunbrigia quidquid Bellum destruxit mox reparabit Aqua Whilst Boars on Mountains shall abide Or Fishes in the River glide So long both sure and uncontroul'd Will last this Health-firm Anchor-hold This Drink let Codrus burst with rage Will English Scotch and Irish Sage With German French and Dutch engage Hence Peoples Glory Tunbridge praise VVhat War thows down Water will raise Thus much for Chalybeats to comply with Your Honours Solicitations hoping this rude Essay upon a Baren Subject may be cultivated by other Phylosophers and Physicians better qualified to the benefit and advantage of Mankind especially to Your Honours Satisfaction and Wellfare whom Almighty God the Everlasting Fountain and Source of Living Waters preserve with long Life and Health in this World and grant immarcescible Lawrels in that which is to come which is the earnest and unfained desire of My LORD Your Honours Most Humble and Obedient Servant P.M.
