Work for Chimny-sweepers OR A warning for Tabacconists Describing the pernicious vse of Tabacco no lesse pleasant then profitable for all sorts to reade Fumus patriae Igne alieno Luculentior As much to say Better be chokt with English hemp then poisoned with Indian Tabacco Imprinted at London by T. Este for Thomas Bushell are to be sould at the great North dore of Powles 1602. To the Reader I Am to well asured good Reader that in vndertaking this vaine discourse of the pernicious vulgar vse or rather abuse of Tabacco I shall draw vnto my selfe no small 〈◊〉 among our smoky gallants 〈…〉 long time glutted themselues with the fond fopperies and fashions of our neighbour Countries yet still desirous of nouelties haue not stucke to trauell as farre as India to fetch a Dulce venenum a graecian Helen an insatiate Messaline and hugge a stinging serpent in their bosomes nor am I ignorant that to the wiser sort this treatise will seeme at the first a fruitlesse labour of an idle braine and to other some a vaine florish of a carping minde And that beecause in this treatise is vtterly reprehended and in some sort refuted that which of many excellent learned men hath beene most highly commended and by sundry persons of high estate hath beene experimented and tryed verie commodious for the health of man For Monardus in his treatise of the West Indian simples Carolus Clusius in his Comment vpon Garcaeas de Stirpibus et Aromaticis Indicis and Baptista Porta in his 8. booke and 11. Chap of Naturall Magick doe commend this plant as a thing most excellent and diuine And in these our daies many excellent Phisitions and men of singuler learning and practise together with many gentlemen and some of great accompt doe by their daily vse and custome in drinking of Tabacco giue great credit and authoritie to the same yet neuerthelesse if it shall please them either with patience to heare or with iudgement to reade these few lines and with indifferencie to waie and ponder the reasons herein ●●●●dged I doubt not but they shall finde neither the great authoritie of the one nor the vsuall practise of the other nor yet them both vnited and conioined in one a ground for this their vulgar practise of a thing so hurtfull an● pernitious to the life and health of man Authorities of expert and learned men in their art I confesse bee motiues of waight and importance to leade and draw the vnlearned and vnskilfull sort who for the more part sticke and relie more on the authoritie of the teacher then on his demonstrations and proofes to yeeld to their assertions But of all heresies in Philosophie that Pithagoricall precept Ipse dixit seemeth most grose hurtfull and pernitious Heerevpon wee finde that Aristotle in his Morals thought it not a matter of wisedome or worth commendacion to content himselfe with the bare authoritie of his Maister Plato who no doubt was in learning most excellent but laying Platoes assertions in one skale of the ballance and reason with experience in the other and finding his Maisters authoritie to light to counterpease re●son hee made it no scruple to swarue and discent from Ipse dixit and stuck to sensible reas●n as a most euident meanes to bring a sensible and reasonable creature to the knowledge and vnderstanding of the truth The like in Pnis●●ke did Galen dissenting sometimes from his Master H●pocrates for so may I terme him for from him he had his light of set purpose in his Comments on Hippocrates Epidemicks and Aphorismes doth refute him And Aristotle had wont to say Amicus Plato sed Magis amica veritas Plato was his friend for from him hee had his learning and knowledge but Truth and Veritie was his greater friend and therfore in equitie right hee ought rather to take hir part So for truth sake onely did Varro write against Lelius Sulpitius against Casselius Saint Ierome against Hilaris Saint Augustine against Hierome and Ambrose also These men made euer more accompt and estimation of veritie and truth then of the authoritie of learning in any whosoeuer Let it not therefore good Reader seeme a vaine thing to you or an argument of an Idle braine for mee to discent in iudgement of Tabacco from those authors before aleaged hauing as I suppose both sollide Reasons and true Experience on my side to counterpease their authorities founded rather on opinion then any certaine science or demonstration Philaretes NOt the desire of any priuate game Nor 〈◊〉 motions of a Carping braine Nor for reward

Go charme the Priest and Indian Canniballs That Cerimoniously dead sleeping falls Flat on the ground by vertue of thy sent Then waking straight and tells a wonderment Of strange euents and fearefull visions That he had seene in apparitions Some swaggering gallants of great Plutoes Court I warrant you would he the truth report But would I were a Charmer for it sake In England it should little rest ytake O I would whip the queane with rods of steele That euer after she my ierks should feele And make hir sweare vppon my Charming hand Neuer t'set foot more on our Farie land Pittie it is that smoking vanitie Is Englands most esteemed Curtesie Oft haue I heard it as an ould saide sawe The strong digesting hungrie Camells mawe Brooks stinging nettles and the vilest weeds That stinking dunghils in ranke plentie feeds But t' is a toye to mocke an Ape in deed That English men should loue a stranger
