disease_n to_o be_v provide_v of_o such_o remedy_n as_o they_o hear_v do_v cure_v other_o in_o the_o like_a case_n and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n not_o to_o be_v deceive_v believe_v not_o any_o man_n by_o his_o own_o report_n only_o nor_o by_o a_o bare_a discourse_n of_o other_o but_o get_v plain_a proof_n of_o his_o skill_n and_o then_o you_o may_v venture_v with_o safety_n now_o since_o i_o have_v be_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o gout_n rheumetism_n and_o palsy_n and_o all_o suchlike_a painful_a disease_n and_o weakness_n of_o limb_n there_o be_v some_o that_o will_v seek_v to_o ruin_v i_o if_o they_o can_v and_o do_v hate_v i_o and_o be_v malicious_o set_v against_o i_o for_o my_o do_v good_a i_o can_v name_v some_o but_o i_o shall_v omit_v that_o now_o and_o if_o they_o give_v i_o far_a occasion_n i_o shall_v make_v they_o ashamed_a of_o their_o do_v for_o no_o man_n shall_v discourage_v i_o from_o improve_n the_o gift_n god_n have_v bestow_v on_o i_o and_o all_o may_v know_v what_o great_a success_n i_o have_v have_v by_o what_o i_o have_v write_v i_o be_o unwilling_a to_o put_v person_n name_n in_o print_n that_o i_o have_v cure_v by_o reason_n many_o be_v troublesome_a to_o go_v and_o make_v enquiry_n when_o they_o have_v no_o occasion_n this_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o all_o that_o have_v need_n of_o help_n may_v come_v to_o i_o and_o i_o will_v show_v they_o what_o i_o have_v under_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o i_o have_v cure_v sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v all_o person_n what_o i_o have_v do_v and_o what_o i_o can_v do_v but_o because_o some_o through_o envy_n do_v public_o endeavour_v to_o run_v down_o my_o gout-medicine_n i_o look_v upon_o myself_o concern_v to_o make_v mention_n of_o something_o of_o proof_n against_o they_o who_o have_v make_v it_o their_o business_n to_o speak_v against_o i_o without_o cause_n a_o vindication_n in_o my_o own_o defence_n against_o my_o malicious_a adversary_n as_o most_o of_o the_o discourse_n against_o i_o be_v by_o some_o private_a person_n yet_o it_o come_v to_o a_o kind_n of_o a_o public_a discourse_n be_v it_o a_o public_a thing_n in_o open_a court_n than_o i_o will_v make_v a_o public_a defence_n in_o that_o manner_n as_o have_v not_o be_v see_v that_o the_o world_n may_v judge_v what_o good_a i_o have_v do_v in_o my_o time_n but_o according_a to_o my_o present_a occasion_n i_o shall_v in_o this_o private_a way_n make_v my_o defence_n that_o may_v be_v read_v at_o leisure_n be_v in_o a_o little_a compass_n it_o may_v serve_v for_o a_o pocket-companion_n many_o be_v offend_v because_o i_o be_o not_o a_o college-doctor_n and_o bring_v up_o gradual_o to_o be_v a_o physician_n and_o therefore_o can_v have_v skill_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o first_o most_o do_v know_v i_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o be_v a_o doctor_n for_o my_o business_n be_v not_o among_o the_o sick_a yet_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o i_o do_v understand_v much_o in_o many_o disease_n as_o to_o the_o curable_a part_n but_o that_o i_o leave_v to_o the_o doctor_n except_o it_o be_v so_o that_o i_o may_v have_v a_o friend_n give_v over_o by_o all_o if_o i_o can_v do_v they_o any_o neighbourly_a service_n of_o love_n or_o help_v such_o as_o can_v be_v at_o the_o charge_n of_o a_o doctor_n so_o far_o as_o christian-love_n and_o charity_n require_v my_o help_n but_o that_o which_o be_v my_o practice_n the_o doctor_n do_v not_o pretend_v to_o as_o to_o cure_v or_o help_v the_o gout_n after_o that_o speedy_a manner_n as_o i_o do_v for_o these_o be_v new_a thing_n of_o late_a discovery_n that_o no_o man_n know_v but_o myself_o and_o though_o many_o be_v unbelieving_a yet_o what_o be_v write_v be_v certain_o true_a that_o i_o can_v do_v more_o than_o other_o man_n in_o the_o aforementioned_a disease_n and_o though_o i_o be_v not_o bring_v up_o gradual_o as_o you_o call_v it_o to_o be_v a_o physician_n in_o that_o way_n and_o order_n as_o college-doctor_n so_o i_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o that_o knowledge_n skill_n and_o learning_n but_o this_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o that_o i_o have_v be_v a_o student_n of_o physic_n for_o many_o year_n and_o though_o i_o do_v not_o wear_v a_o gown_n at_o the_o university_n yet_o i_o do_v learn_v much_o of_o my_o knowledge_n at_o oxford_n and_o have_v the_o privilege_n of_o a_o scholar_n in_o the_o great_a library_n and_o begin_v in_o my_o youthful_a day_n after_o i_o have_v obtain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o many_o good_a thing_n i_o do_v not_o practice_v it_o for_o some_o year_n only_o for_o myself_o and_o family_n but_o after_o some_o time_n i_o become_v serviceable_a to_o my_o friend_n acquaintance_n and_o neighbour_n and_o thus_o i_o gradual_o come_v by_o my_o knowledge_n and_o learning_n and_o though_o i_o have_v not_o the_o knowledge_n of_o discourse_v like_o a_o doctor_n in_o their_o term_n yet_o i_o do_v know_v something_o of_o the_o nature_n ●nd_v cause_n of_o disease_n and_o know_v now_o to_o cure_v a_o disease_n there_o be_v some_o that_o their_o parent_n do_v bestow_v much_o on_o they_o to_o train_v ●hem_n up_o to_o be_v minister_n or_o doctor_n but_o if_o they_o have_v not_o a_o natural_a inclination_n that_o way_n many_o time_n all_o come_v to_o nothing_o also_o there_o be_v some_o as_o can_v use_v their_o tongue_n well_o in_o latin_a and_o other_o language_n can_v talk_v a_o great_a deal_n and_o do_v but_o little_a i_o have_v know_v many_o such_o in_o my_o time_n be_v acquaint_v in_o the_o university_n with_o all_o sort_n and_o degree_n so_o it_o be_v not_o a_o rule_n to_o trust_v to_o for_o every_o man_n that_o be_v well-learned_a in_o latin_a greek_a and_o heb●ew_n that_o he_o be_v therefore_o a_o skilful_a man_n for_o i_o have_v be_v acquaint_v with_o some_o that_o have_v have_v all_o these_o part_n of_o learning_n and_o yet_o fit_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o talk_v now_o all_o that_o know_v i_o do_v know_v i_o be_o no_o talkative_a sort_n of_o man_n be_v natural_o one_o of_o few_o word_n and_o be_o like_a one_o always_o in_o a_o study_n but_o yet_o i_o be_o ready_a to_o give_v a_o answer_n in_o any_o matter_n whatsoever_o by_o which_o you_o may_v know_v i_o be_o not_o a_o ignorant_a nor_o unlearned_a person_n neither_o do_v i_o undertake_v that_o as_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o perform_v and_o though_o i_o be_o not_o a_o college-doctor_n yet_o i_o have_v knowledge_n and_o skill_n in_o that_o i_o do_v practice_n as_o do_v plain_o appear_v be_v examine_v try_v and_o prove_v it_o be_v clear_o see_v and_o may_v be_v believe_v that_o so_o far_o as_o i_o do_v pretend_v god_n have_v give_v i_o skill_n and_o understanding_n and_o he_o it_o be_v that_o make_v i_o to_o prosper_v this_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o answer_v this_o part_n i_o shall_v in_o the_o next_o place_n answer_v some_o other_o reflection_n another_o reflection_n or_o supposition_n be_v that_o some_o dangerous_a matter_n be_v in_o the_o medicine_n as_o aquafortis_n or_o some_o other_o suchlike_a thing_n because_o it_o draw_v blister_n and_o with_o over_n cause_v the_o skin_n to_o come_v off_o i_o do_v never_o use_v aquafortis_n in_o my_o life_n and_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o supposition_n among_o the_o many_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v name_v by_o the_o doctor_n and_o other_o practitioner_n put_v the_o judgement_n of_o all_o together_o they_o never_o name_v more_o than_o one_o thing_n in_o it_o you_o may_v know_v by_o what_o i_o have_v already_o declare_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o hurtful_a or_o dangerous_a in_o it_o because_o i_o can_v take_v it_o inward_o myself_o and_o in_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o draw_v any_o venomous_a matter_n out_o of_o the_o body_n and_o further_o let_v any_o doctor_n or_o other_o propose_v what_o way_n soever_o they_o will_v to_o apply_v it_o on_o purpose_n to_o do_v all_o the_o hurt_n they_o can_v with_o it_o i_o will_v expose_v my_o own_o body_n for_o the_o trial_n and_o proof_n of_o it_o in_o public_a if_o require_v if_o there_o be_v danger_n of_o do_v mischief_n with_o it_o in_o the_o use_n of_o it_o than_o it_o will_v have_v be_v discover_v before_o this_o time_n for_o i_o have_v apply_v it_o to_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n and_o never_o do_v hurt_v to_o any_o and_o i_o do_v use_v it_o free_o to_o blister_v the_o part_n if_o need_n require_v but_o you_o will_v not_o believe_v this_o that_o i_o dare_v use_v it_o so_o free_o i_o shall_v give_v some_o proof_n of_o this_o to_o help_v your_o unbelief_n for_o in_o some_o case_n i_o can_v cure_v the_o disease_n without_o blister_v the_o
