in_o chemical_a author_n as_o any_o other_o and_o have_v as_o many_o and_o more_o assistance_n of_o learning_n and_o experience_n to_o judge_v of_o they_o by_o which_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o discern_v every_o day_n as_o many_o vain_a and_o absurd_a thing_n in_o the_o best_a of_o they_o as_o any_o pretend_a chemist_n can_v find_v in_o the_o pharmacopoea_n since_o you_o condemn_v no_o sober_a

those_o principle_n that_o shall_v make_v they_o able_a to_o judge_n with_o reason_n of_o their_o own_o experiment_n and_o transport_v with_o the_o novelty_n and_o strangeness_n of_o thing_n they_o do_v not_o understand_v bold_o adventure_v through_o the_o life_n and_o blood_n of_o man_n to_o make_v trial_n of_o such_o preparation_n of_o which_o they_o light_v on_o they_o by_o accident_n only_o neither_o understand_v the_o reason_n nor_o the_o use_n since_o i_o say_v these_o thing_n be_v so_o you_o ought_v not_o to_o believe_v the_o wise_a man_n who_o govern_v the_o affair_n of_o the_o kingdom_n will_v ever_o consent_v to_o take_v away_o so_o important_a a_o part_n of_o physic_n out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o so_o many_o ingenuous_a learned_a and_o inquisitive_a man_n as_o your_o college_n now_o consist_v of_o or_o so_o much_o discountenance_v a_o honourable_a profession_n and_o way_n of_o educate_v youth_n in_o the_o nation_n and_o give_v it_o to_o such_o as_o these_o especial_o since_o the_o very_a philosophical_a freedom_n you_o own_o and_o profess_v have_v raise_v you_o so_o far_o above_o the_o poor_a and_o empty_a name_n of_o any_o sect_n or_o party_n if_o
