their Tables I must tell them that if they doe it out of pure charity it is sinfull because there is error in the action if out of any vaine glory it is more sinfull if out of a desire of gaine it is most sinfull Of all which our poly-pragmaticall Ministers in all likelihood that cannot containe themselves within the limits of their owne callings goe not free and unfaultie Marcilius Ficinus Lib. de Trip. vita Apolog. a Priest and well learned in the mysteries of Physicke endeauoring to prove the lawfulnesse for Divines to exercise Physicke concludes that they must doe it Charitatis gratia for charities sake And is not this thinke you the marke that our practicall Ministers ayme at I will not condemne all but so many of them as I know deale in physicke as they doe sometimes for a Parsonage they take not fees directè like Physitians but indirectè under the name of a Druggie medicine or perhaps a strange elaborated Quintessence exhaust the patients purse much more then the generous and learned Physician And if you will looke into their lives you shall finde some of them to be prophane others especially those whose braines swell and are overheated with Quintessences to be heady proud contentious and yet after a puritanicall fury holy To the best of them I say as Saint PAVL did to Archippus Take heed to your Ministerie If the best learned and such as bend their whole forces thereunto are but sufficient to undertake the practice of Physicke what shall bee judged of the rabblement of Emperickes and other unworthy and distracted Practicioners Well the time will come when wee shall be all convented to yeeld an account for all our actions wee shall not bee able to conceale any of them from God at whose name wee should tremble the great Iudge of all the world to whom the very secret motions of our hearts are manifest and who will reward every man according to his worke Know then whatsoever thou art that it is not all gaine that is gotten except it be well gotten and with a good conscience which I wish all men and by name such as usurpe the practice of Physick to the ruine hurt of many to lay to their hearts as a cordiall Antidot against all unlawfull gaine and bee reformed But is the fault altogether in them that usurpe the practice of Physicke No verely It is as much if not more in the absurdity of them that expose their bodies they care not to whom and if they chance through the benefit of nature and a strong constitution to recover or for that the cause of the infirmity was formerly by some learned Physician removed as it oftentimes happens a great cure is wrought the report whereof with the light vulgar and other base minded people is so prevalent as that it is able to raise one from being a parish Clarke to the title of a great Physician and yet all this while the Cure if there were any was but accidentally rashly or preposterously effected to the great injury of nature and shortning of the dayes though the ignorant Patient vnderstand it not But if the Cure or rather the Hurt shall by an out-landish Empericke or Surgeon that apud nos turnes Physician and that no meane one neither bee effected the more admirable For verely such is the inconstancy folly and perversnesse versnesse of most our people that a Physician how learned and honest soever and blessed of God in his courses cannot vnlesse hee bee Outlandish or at least in his birth and education altogether a stranger and remote bee in any good esteeme with them for they must have physicke from farre Nihil praetiosum domi the proverbiall saying is not more ancient then true Rara sunt chara Sed mundus vult decipi decipiatur The men of this world are in their worldly affaires wise and doe with the Chinoys see with both eyes and will rather then lose one foote of land retaine the best counsell that can bee had but when their health quae cum omnibus mundi copiis non est commutanda shall by sicknesse bee called into question an illiterated Empericke a peremptorie usurping Apothecary an ambitious Surgeon scarse the supersicies of a Physician perhaps a parish Clarke or a sorcering Horse-leach or any other of what condition soever whether Insidell or Christian whether vertuous or full of all impiety it matters not is a Physician meet enough to encounter with sicknesse death's Champion O genus hominum insulsum quibus Helleborum porrigendum ut purgato cerebro desinant delirare Dolendum sanè in Repub. literata that the noble Art of Physicke should by the toleration of unworthy Practicioners be disgraced and the people hurt Wee have lawes to prevent this evill utinam vitam habuissent I wish they had their due execution but I doubt not but that our most gratious learned SOVERAIGNE wil at length cast an eye of reformation and respect upon the disgraced faculty of Physicke which Kings and Princes in former times by their owne proper studies greatly graced and represse such as under colour of helping destroy many of his people absque poenae metu and so reduce the noble Art of physicke no its ancient splendor and dignity as it is to be seene at this day in some well governed Common-weales in that respect But having taxed divers I must looke to have some scandalous and malicious imputations cast upon my selfe not onely from them that are taxed but also from a Grand Caitiffe-fordian Momus who with his Foule Mouth and Doggish Teeth hath mightily defamed mee and delacerated the former Impressions of my Via recta ad vitam longam As for the former sort I passe not I have delivered my minde freely and I know I speake the truth and if I should bee commended of One that is full of all impiety that is a common Rayler Slanderer and Detractor and under whose lippes is the poyson of Asps I should cry out Quid mali feci But I lightly regarding the obliquity of malevolent and detracting Spirits conclude with the honest Reader to whom I wish these my labours very profitable APRIL 22. 1603.
