A42184	The late censors deservedly censured; and their spurious litter of libels against Dr. Greenfield, and others, justly expos'd to contempt by the following answer to all, but especially the last, intituled, A reply to the reasons against the censors of the College of Physicians, &c. Humbly offer'd to the perusal of Dr. Thomas Burwell, Richard Torles, William Daws, Thomas Gill, the late censors. By Lysiponius Celer M.D.L.

of the Industrious Go le who Propria Voluntate mero Motu suis without any Pension from the State hath been Epitomizing all the News Papers You do both injustly and in vain Charge the Learned in the Law with such a gross Ignorance Advice not ask'd cannot be given and if given is to no purpose when never taken Had you not so much as a Hint of this when you oppos'd violently the Doctors Discharge Pray ask Pardon of your Councel for so signal an Affront and be pleas'd to remember that you are a Court before which Pardons are requir'd to be pleaded Reason Second These Censors not being satisfied with the designed Ruin of this Doctor and Family proceeded to effect it according to the opinion of most People by stirring up and assisting the aforesaid turbulent Woman to bring an Action of 2000 Pounds against the said Doctor which was carried on to an Expence far above the Ability of the Woman and back'd it by Libels published in their Name But upon Tryal before the Right Honourable the Lord Chief Justice Holt the said Doctor was honourably acquitted and his Practice vindicated allowed of an commended by a great Number of the most eminent Physicians of the said College it plainly appearing that Ignorance not Judgment was the cause of that Censure and Envy for want of Success by the same Medicine they condemned the said Doctor for it being proved in Court that some of them had made use of it before This Second Charge you say is highly unjust you having been no further concern'd then as Witnesses Subpaena'd And as to the publishing Libels in your Names it is so notoriously false that you only vindicated your Honour and Justice against an Impudent and Scandalous Advertisement publish'd to defame you I must now rake up this shameful Affair being forc'd to it by your no better Denial This Woman one of the looser Gang of Pedlars that offer good Pennyworths of Muslin under pretence of a Seamans Covert Baron and Long Reach lay Perdu for about six Years to regain her forty Shillings and seeing her yearly Applications to consecutive Censors were not prevalent to cause the Doctor to refund what he but too dearly earn'd tho' she found her Partizans baffl'd and the Doctor discharg'd by the Judges yet thought forsooth to jump into an Estate by such a favourable Opportunity and commenc'd a Suit of 2000 l. against the Doctor but unluckily it was some time after he had brought his in the like Summ against the Censors for false Imprisonment This was a plain design to quash both the Actions there being no Overplus to be contended about in either But the Doctor thought it Unreasonable she goes on and puts him to the Expence of 50 l. by dilatory Courses Summons the Censors to give Evidence in what they had Condemn'd before on her behalf influenceth their numerous Party more then ever were seen in any Court to defend her Cause tooth and nail and at last upon the Verdict against her pays the Costs as soon as demanded Do you think all the World is at Blindmansbuff and every one you see at Ecco lo Cieco and your selves under Covert cause winking No Dr. Burwells menial Servant that poor addicated Officer of yours John Cole hath related the Fact to an Eminent Physician a little before his own Death That by an express Command of your Attorney he waited on Mr. Ambrose and conducted him to that Womans House in order to commence that Suit All the World hath reason to believe you were the Principals she only Accessary The Doctor still reserves a Cardinal Evidence in Petto till his numerous Scruples about a Maintenance of a Suit Champeatie and Common Barretrie are fully satisfy'd Now I shall readily grant you that the Advertisement you speak of was Impudent and Scandalous and lying as to Matter of Fact but I must acquaint the World that neither the Doctor nor any of his Friends I am sure had any Hand in it The Author was a Professor but no Doctor a noisy Pamphletier that spark of flashy Nonsense your worthy Antagonist and fit Match for Controversy You may easily know him whether he Speaks or Writes Prays or Rail's 't is all one Piscis à Capite foetet But you were in Torment pray any Tooth good Barber drowning in Spight caught at Grass any Ansa any thing to pull in poor Greenfield You published a Scandalous Answer to a Scandalous Advertisment whereby you doubly abuse the Innocent For you might as easily have trac'd the Author of this as he the Messenger to the Press of yours I must tell you for once the Doctor is so confident of the Justice of his Cause that notwithstanding your numerous Libels he hath writ nothing as yet but his Book in Latin The Reasons and Remarks you dare not attack are the Prosecutors who hath hitherto expos'd you but moderately notwithstanding your Injustice be the very Basis of his Informations he could do it no otherwise then by vindicating the Doctor As by Justice he was and in Justice he ought to be Rumpantur ut Ilia Codris You had indeed some shew of a Pretence to answer but no Cause to revile a declared Innocent But pray did you not Libel him previously to all this while he lay at your Mercy your Prisoner in Newgate both for the pretended Crime and the impos'd Fine Was not that enough But you must immediately give the World an Account that he was committed to Newgate for Ill Practices in the Plural without specifying for What. None but those that were acquainted with your Constitution and Injustice could imagine it less then Felony Debt it could not be because of that Expression Nor for the Fine that was never demanded You remember no doubt Dr. Burwell when you were not named and scarcely affronted by the Learned Loss what horrid Labour you were in for a Year before you could be deliver'd of a Female Child at one Throw by the Midwifery of a Letter your Voluminous Book you mean in Answer to six Lines that touch'd you Be pleas'd to look in your Epistle Dedicatory and amidst the broody Metaphors and teeming Allegories you 'll find these Words Yea and although in the Case of a particular Person Physicians may differ in their Opinion and perhaps each think he hath all the Reason on his side yet it is very Base for either of these to begin to print the Case and Condemn the other were he never so Guilty And why so Certainly because it exposeth the Faculty as well as the Person But tho' you were in the wrong you both condemn'd and printed first with a Witness Every time you have publish'd may be deem'd the First because the Doctor hath not answer'd you as yet Your being a Judge or Censor won't do Neither Oath nor Discretion bound you to Print any thing I hope you were a Physician then and if so I leave you to think of the Adjective you use 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉
