Physitians by their extemporary though pompous and Artificial Prescriptions And the illustrious Lord Verulam one of the most judicious Naturalists that our Age can boast thinks fit to take notice of it as a Deficiency that Receipts by long Experience approved are not more closely and as he speaks religiously adher'd to but alter'd upon every light occasion And in the same Chapter to answer the Principal as well as the most obvious Objection in this Matter That sayes He any man induc'd by some Specious Reason should be of opinion that it is the part of a Learned Physitian respecting the Complexions of Patients their Age the season of the Year Custome and the like rather to accommodate his Medicines as Occasions suggests then to insist upon some certain Prescripts is a deceivable Assertion which attributes too little to Experience too much to Judgment And a little above He goes much farther then we pretend to do for speaking of the Neglect of the use of particular Receipts which as He speaks by a kind of propriety respect the Cure of particular Diseases He addes severely enough That the Physit●ans have frustrated and taken away the fruit of Traditions and approved Experience by their Magistralities in adding and taking out and changing Ingredients of Receipts at their pleasure and almost after the manner of Apothecaries putting in Quid pro quo commanding so presumptuously over the Medicine as the Medicine can no longer command the Disease Thus farre our Judicious Author But I will rather choose to expresse to You my sense on This whole Subject of Receipts in the Words of that Experienc'd Physitian to three Emperors Johannes Crato De morbi Natura sayes He causa locóque affecto Medicus diligenter cogitet atque in eo plus quam in certis medicamentorum mirificis formis situm putet Medicinam tamen expertam cum ratione adhibitam plus valere quam ea quae interdum subitò à Doctissimo etiam Medico magnâ ratione exhibita excogitatur non dubito Atque hac in parte Rationales etiam Medicos Empeiricis cedere debere de sententia Hippocratis statuo Onely I must adde by way of Explanation That this Sentence is to be understood to expresse my sense when the Medicines used are not very extraordinary but such as Crato employ'd and has left us in his Writings for there may possibly be such effectual Specificks and such powerful and commanding Remedies that the Efficacy of the Medicine may at least in some particular Diseases excuse and repair much want of skill in the Prescriber If the Testimony of Helmont concerning the Arcana of Paracelsus be considerable even in a Tract where either out of Emulation or Judgment he endeavours somewhat do depreciate both them and their Author much greater things might be boldly affirmed of some Arcana for Fateor Lubens saies he speaking of Paracelsus Me ex ejus scriptis profecisse multum illúmque potuisse per Remedia ad unitatis Symbolum adsendentia sanare Lepram Asthma Tabem Paralysin Epilepsiam Calculum Hydropem Podagram Cancrum atque ejusmodi vulgo incurabiles morbos attamen Paracelsum fuisse ignarum radicis vitae longae tam ex ejus scriptis medicaminibus quam ex Obitu collegi c. And in the same Tract just before He comes to enumerate Paracelsus's Arcana Concedo saith he Universales aliquot Medicinas quae sub unisono Naturae longe gratissimo insensibiliter post se vinctum educunt hostem cum egregia Organorum depuratione Concedo pariter appropriatas aliquot quo universalis amplitudinem in specificis morborum directionibus amulantur And among those Arcana themselves that is ranck'd but in the second place of which he gives this Characters Sequitur dein Mercurius Vitae Stibii proles integri quae omnem morbi nervum penitus absorbet And because another Arcanum does not so powerfully renovate as that last mention'd and two more He allowes to those three others the precedencies of that whereof He yet saith Quarto loco est Mercurius Diaphoreticus melle dulcior ad ignem fixus solis Horizontis omnes proprietates habet perficit enim quicquid Medicus Chirurgus possint optare sanendo But because that any Medicines should be qualify'd to deserve such superlative Encomiums may seem a thing fitter to be wish'd then credited I would not disswade You till the Chymists Cures have made good their Masters brags to be altogether of our Authors Mind who somewhere professes Se morbum non dinguere si Remediis sure he speaks of such Remedies as he thought he had sit summa bonitas But yet you may perchance ascribe much more even to Remedies far inferiour to the Arcana Majora in the cases wherein they are most proper then many are willing to believe Insomuch that I have sometimes observ'd with wonder that an Excellent Person whom I need not name to You cures the Rickets generally in Children of several Ages and Complexions without having hitherto fail'd as she professes in any one by prescribing no other Remedy then the single use of the above describ'd Colcotharine Flowres which I presented Her and which a couple of Physitians also to whom I recommended them tell Me They have try'd in the same Disease with the like success as this Lady hath hitherto met with And I remember that eminently Learned and experienc'd Physitian Dr G. Boat of whose skill both your Excellent Mother and You have had good Proof solemnly assur'd me as I elswhere also note That he knew a Physitian who constantly cur'd within two or three Fits all Agues whether recent or radicated in Persons of all Ages Sexes and Complexions indiscriminately with one single outward Application to the Patients Wrists but that this Envious Doctor would never part with it to our Friend or any else no not upon his Death-bed onely Dr Boat discovered That Spiders or something comming from them were main Ingredients of his Pericarpia And indeed there are certain Preparations and Compositions of Remedies so lucky and whose Successe doth so much exceed Expectation and the Efficacy of common Compositions that the same Physitian whose they are may upon several Occasions prescribe an Hundred others each of which he may think as rational as any of those which nevertheless shall be all of them much inferiour thereunto And therefore I wonder not that the most Learned of the Methodists themselves have much valued and celebrated some peculiar Processes and Receipts as here amongst us to mention no others the Famous Sr Theodore Mayerne was wont almost in all Obstructions Cachexies and Hydropicall Distempers to magnifie and use that peculiar Salt of Steel of his which he was pleas'd to call Anima hepatis And to these Domestick Instances which I might easily accumulate of the esteem eminent Physitians have made of Receipts I might adde very many Forreign ones Nay Galen himself who has so copiously treated of the Materia medica and the
