Page 47. He saith an Abscess oft followeth a Phlegmon and yet cometh without an Inflamation premised Page 51. He Computes malign Vlcers among Melancholy tumors and Aneurisms among Schirrus's He defines ●nchymomata and Metasmata to be painful and dangerous effects of the Arteries hapning by contusion of the Abdomen Page 52. He lists Epiplocele Entero-Epiplocle c. among Tumors bred out of humors And defines a Polypus to be an excrescence growing out of the Nostrils as if that were the only part to which they were incident Page 55. He defines a Tumor to be a pretern●tural disease very difficult because it hindreth contraction and for this quotes Fallopius without telling where it s delivered I find in that Author a multitude of Definitions examined and non like this Tom. 1. cap. 3. de tumor praeternat that which he give as his own is in these words Definitis ergo vera tumoris erat ista Tumor est morbus instrumentalis simplex in magnitudine extensa constans Why our Author calls it a disease preternatural I know not I think Morbus had never any such Distinction nor are there any diseases that are natural What he means by calling it difficult because it hindreth contraction I cannot Fathom At this wise rate he proceedes And hence it may raise in us a diligent enquiry hereof how this first hapned what may be the best and safest way to sayl herein what the best order to observe but before we launch too deep into the main Ocean let us take and purchase such Pilots as may safely bring us of from the Shelves and Rocks of fears and distrusts Then after this nauseous preamble he recommends the sta●e writings as the best Guides Hippocrates Galen Aegineta Albucas Rhasis Haly Abbas Avicen c. In pursuing him you will find him ploughing with Parey Read c. and filching from their writings but he so confounds and disguiseth them and makes such a rude disfigured Copy that it s not presently discerned but if any thing be erroneous and trifling in an Author it s so agreeable to his Genius that he is sure to have it as I shall further demonstrate anon His sixth Chapter is of Phlebotomy how pertinent here I need not say Where he talks as if he had never heard of Circulation or did not understand it perhaps the Author he was dealing with wrote before Harvey many of his positions and directions being contrary to that Doctrine among the veines usually opened he mentions not the Jugulars Page 82 he makes no difference between Digestion and Discussion and seems to understand neither for he calls the Fire an Evacuation of a thin matter gathered in a part by insensible evaporation and that Digestives are hot and dry in the third degree and of thin Parts and instanceth in Mallowes Camomil Ammoniacum Lillies Fenugrick Red-Roses March-Mallows Melilot Meal of Beans Barly Lupines Lin-Seed Mucilage Plaister Violets Saffron Goose-Fat Butter Milk Night-Shade cujus contrarium it s scarce credible a man could so grosly err from the most common Rules of his Art and such as are known almost to every Apprentice being one of the first things they are taught its plain he understands not the true Chirurgical notion of Digestion the way of procuring it nor the temper of Ingredients in most Common use for that end for though he had delivered that it must be procured by things hot and dry in the third degree he directs to many things of different and some of the Contrary qualities all that I have pickt out from him being cold moist or temperate and that this is no slip or oversight in him but his firm and fixed opinion consult Page 88. and 107. of this same Book Page 95. He saith we must not bleed far distant from the Part affected by which I perceive he forgets or knows not that Phlebotomy is often made near the Ancles and that leeching the Hemorrhoids is frequently and succesfully used for pain and other diseases of the Head Page 88. He blunders and runs into strange absurdities and contradictory affirmations concerning that way of treating ripe Tumors the signs of ripe suppuration he gives us in this distracted way The Tumor offers it as a sign of its tending to suppuration by its intenseness and when pain inflamation c. encrease then use NO Digestives but maturative Medicines and if therefore we may procure the Tumor for this suppuration and produce good laudable matter we are to encrease the quantity of Native Heat by such Medicines as be of a digesting faculty the which ought to be of the Native Heat with the Part these are to be applyed from the beginning of its Augment to the end of its Vigor Certainly I should correct a Boy who had seen a plaister-Box but two years if he talkt in no better sort than he in this unintelligible ramble wherein he so contradicts himself and for want of a good memory sense understanding and way of expression doth run into the strangest and most absurd Directions I have met At no better rate doth he deliver himself Chap. 19. Concerning Choler of which he saith there are three sorts Natural Preternatural and Vnnatural and talks so disagreeable and contrary to what he had done out the same subject Page 39. though neither of them reconcileable to sense or Philosophy as shews in him a very great disposition or strong fate to errour for he cannot hit right in either Part of a Contradiction Page 40.

He denyeth it to have any bitterness or sharpness I mean quoth he that in the Bladder of Gall for else it would soon fret the guts in peices and beside this dayly experience sheweth it is free from any acidity for it dayly passeth thro' the kidnies into the bladder and then maketh its exit Page 39. It hath in it no great quantity of Sulphur Page 109. That which his Preternatural though it doth not nourish the Body yet it doth not offer any mischief to it this is both unprofitable and unnatural and Preternatural alway hurting the Body at this most incongruous sensles rate he confounds the things he treats of I am very sorry to find a man pretending to be acquainted with Books and to understand Art should write so much like a stranger to both as well as to Common sense and letters His Discourse of Flegm in the Chapter of Oedema in every whit was as wild and extravagant Page 123. In one place he saith those Tumors never suppurate in another that they do here he affirms they alway possess remote Parts and then gives an instance stoln from Pareus the only one he hath of one on the lower Jaw Page 132.
