mankind_n therefore_o before_o i_o return_v the_o paper_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o kiss_v some_o passage_n of_o you_o as_o when_o you_o profess_v you_o have_v not_o take_v up_o this_o way_n of_o physic_n but_o after_o a_o strict_a though_o fruitless_a search_v for_o satisfaction_n in_o the_o other_o that_o have_v find_v the_o vulgar_a medicine_n so_o compose_v that_o the_o noble_a part_n in_o they_o be_v clog_v with_o foeculential_a impurity_n be_v make_v ineffectual_a there_o appear_v a_o necessity_n of_o free_v material_n medicinal_a from_o they_o and_o of_o exalt_v those_o to_o a_o more_o active_a and_o spirituous_a nature_n that_o after_o a_o due_a consideration_n of_o vegetable_n and_o animal_n you_o find_v great_a virtue_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o late_a yet_o after_o these_o consider_v the_o mineral_n and_o metalline_a subject_n you_o find_v by_o experience_n as_o well_o as_o reason_n that_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o far_o great_a virtue_n and_o that_o if_o right_o prepare_v they_o be_v of_o all_o medicine_n the_o most_o safe_a and_o efficacious_a and_o that_o after_o long_a inquiry_n and_o diligence_n into_o the_o way_n or_o method_n how_o to_o purify_v and_o exalt_v the_o restaurative_a power_n of_o all_o the_o three_o sort_n of_o subject_n have_v attain_v it_o then_o at_o length_n you_o full_o resolve_v to_o leave_v the_o old_a galenical_a road_n and_o betake_v yourself_o for_o the_o main_a in_o your_o practice_n to_o the_o use_n of_o chemical_a remedy_n this_o judicious_a proceed_n of_o you_o be_v most_o high_o to_o be_v commend_v and_o he_o who_o have_v try_v or_o shall_v try_v the_o excellency_n of_o your_o medicine_n shall_v find_v you_o have_v say_v the_o truth_n alas_o these_o few_o that_o you_o intend_v to_o publish_v be_v but_o a_o small_a part_n of_o those_o noble_a preparation_n which_o i_o know_v you_o to_o be_v master_n of_o and_o of_o which_o the_o world_n be_v not_o worthy_a and_o how_o great_a a_o master_n of_o reason_n as_o well_o as_o a_o workman_n you_o be_v may_v be_v see_v by_o your_o philosophise_n upon_o the_o nature_n of_o vomit_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o ague_n and_o fever_n as_o also_o by_o your_o

the_o discovery_n thus_o much_o to_o you_o my_o dear_a friend_n without_o flattery_n for_o you_o know_v i_o abhor_v it_o and_o have_v in_o my_o nature_n like_v you_o too_o much_o of_o a_o satyr_n to_o
