To the Truly Honourable WILLIAM Earl of CRAVEN Vicount of Ovington and Baron of Hampsted Marshall MY LORD YOU have so obliged this whole NATION to Love and Honour you for those many eminent Graces and Virtues conspicuous in you especially that transcendent Charity towards your Neighbour in time of Extremity that should I conscious of your Noble Actions having so fit an opportunity neglect to render you Thanks and to celebrate your Praises for your bounty and liberality to this miserable City when the Contagion was grassant to the depopulating and depauperating of it I might deservedly be reckoned among ungratefull men Augustam Animam Augusto in pectore gestas you have a Soul like the Image of the Great Creator of a vast extent diffusive communicative beneficial to good and bad Sir you have given such example of Charity upon this late Exigent as more powerful to convert this hard-hearted Age than the Tongue of Men and Angels Certainly the presence of your Person hath been a means to counterpoise the evil effects of fugitive Physicians so that many probably have evaded the fury of the late Pest through a strong Imagination that it was not so Contagious and Mortal as was conceived because a Person of your Dignity did dare to tarry here when it was most outragious Blessed be the Wise Disposer of all things who hath preserved you to be an Instrument for his further Glory the Benefit of your Countrey and the maintenance of FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS against all Opposers And now I draw a little nigher your Lordship offering to you the First-fruits of my Difficult Labours collected in the time of the Raging Pest. The Substance of this Discourse is Practical no idle Dogmatical Fancy of a Non Ens no Necessary Directions from Hearsaid But I have here laid open what I visibly and experimentally have found to be true what I have handled with these hands and seen with these eyes Really Noble Sir all that I begg of your Honour is That you would be pleased to favour me so far as I Speak Write and Act according to Truth which I know is so prevalent that maugre all Adversaries it will at length be Triumphant and bestow upon all Honest Endeavours an Immortal Crown of Glory Your Lordships most Humble and Affectionate Servant GEO THOMSON To the READER Courteous Reader I Know thou art Cloy'd with multitude of Books that this Scribling Age is fertil in Thou must needs nauseate Cramben Millies coctam the same homely Service a Thousand times set before thee the same things still repeated perhaps false or little for thy satisfactory Instruction So that it is enough to make thee look askew and scorn what I have here offered to thy Perusal expecting no other from me than Cuculi Cantum sed siste Gradum If you please to make a Halt awhile I may deliver something thou may'st not repent to spend time to hear take pains to read tending to thy Health that Goddess Salus without which no Temporal Felicity can be enjoyed by means of which so long as it favours us nothing but may be purchased I have ventured my own Life to save thine passing through a way little trodden full of Bryars and Thorns and finding a shorter Cut I have given thee such Directions which if thou strictly follow may make thy passage through this vally of miseries more happy I have declared in this following Treatise how we are begirt on every side with infinite occasional Causes that seek to ruine us and what a Domestick Enemy we carry about us ready to betray us to the violent power of preternatural things infesting us I have been above this Twenty Years sollicitous and sedulous to find out the genuine proper Causes and Cures of all Diseases malignant but especially the Pest for which end I visited all sorts of People the Poor as well as the Rich administring to them Medicines of my own preparation observing from one what might be useful to another yea I was so eager in the pursuit of Therapeutical Truth that I was restless till I had the full view of the inward parts of a Pestilential Body whereby my Iudgment was confirmed in some things and my Intellectuals instructed in others I have acted many Years formerly but especially now of late when there was most need the part of a Physitian Chyrurgion and Apothecary as becomes every honest able Man lawfully called to this Noble Faculty Take it for an infallible Verity and I assert it without the least Rancour and Malice to any Person that it is impossible without miraculous Inspiration for a Physitian to discharge his Duty in this honourable Profession unless he bring to Unity that which of late hath been made a Trinity through the Laziness Pride and Covetousness of a Company of Dogmatists I speak not this to disparage or discourage any able professed Apothecary or Chyrurgion that is laborious ingenious honest and furnished with competent Learning as for those that are otherwise qualified I look upon them as so many Iack-alls or Lurchers that hunt up and down for a Prey for their Masters that they may have a share and snip with them with some of whom I am acquainted who are an Honour to their Society for whom I have no small respect and kindness and so much that I prefer them without Partiality before many Titular Prescribers Grandia gradientes that carry a fair outside make a great noise in the World admired of a company of Idiots that gaze and dote upon them ut pueri Junonis Avem and yet are grosly ignorant in Materia Medica and the right preparation of the same My Iudgment is That it is no such preposterous thing as some Philo-Galenists account it who are as it were riveted into a fond opinion and applause of that Sect for a Physitian that intends to acquire excellency in his Science to begin with Pharmacopoea and Chyrurgia supposed that he have some considerable knowledge in the Tongues Neither should I have thought it any Disparagement to me if I had been as they falsly alledge at first professedly instructed and
