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

a_o man_n do_v doubt_v the_o worst_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o affright_v the_o patient_n with_o his_o jealousy_n which_o leave_v a_o deep_a impression_n on_o his_o spirit_n and_o make_v the_o hope_n if_o any_o be_v oft_o time_n desperate_a to_o conclude_v as_o nothing_o be_v without_o a_o cause_n and_o therefore_o disease_n be_v curable_a because_o medicine_n be_v endow_v by_o god_n with_o such_o a_o virtue_n so_o that_o some_o particular_a disease_n be_v except_v from_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o general_n there_o be_v particular_a cause_n of_o which_o it_o be_v most_o true_a faelix_fw-la qui_fw-la poterit_fw-la rerum_fw-la dignoscere_fw-la causas_fw-la yet_o a_o son_n of_o art_n by_o his_o medicine_n be_v able_a to_o cure_v what_o be_v curable_a which_o all_o disease_n be_v in_o

the_o patient_a have_v undergo_v so_o much_o of_o the_o galenical_a tribe_n methodical_a butchery_n that_o

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

thus_o out_o of_o his_o wont_a gravity_n seek_v to_o defend_v his_o own_o faction_n do_v not_o we_o quoth_v he_o the_o like_a in_o effect_n for_o we_o by_o our_o art_n distinguish_v between_o easy_a dangerous_a and_o desperate_a disease_n which_o we_o therefore_o undertake_v or_o leave_v according_o for_o if_o there_o be_v only_o a_o light_a distemper_n as_o foulness_n of_o the_o stomach_n or_o
