of_o the_o turpentine_n whence_o they_o come_v i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o those_o thing_n which_o i_o write_v here_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o other_o book_n and_o other_o writer_n but_o why_o

with_o the_o essence_n of_o mummy_n have_v speak_v concern_v this_o turpentine_n balsam_n so_o much_o as_o be_v know_v to_o i_o by_o experience_n i_o will_v therefore_o now_o make_v a_o end_n of_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

charm_n etc._n etc._n must_v be_v cure_v by_o contrary_a superstition_n now_o the_o way_n how_o we_o may_v be_v preserve_v from_o those_o disease_n be_v these_o first_o be_v to_o preserve_v natural_a 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
