THE French Mountebank OR AN OPERATOR Fit for these present Times Being a man of great travell and experience throughout most Countries in Christendome and to the great comfort and happinesse of this Kingdome lately come to Town and is ready to shew himselfe a man of Skill in all particulars hereafter mentioned to the distressed Rich for their Money and to the Poor for Gods sake 1642 March .21 LONDON Printed for R. Austin and A. Coe 1643. THE French Mountebank OR An Operator fit for these Times COnducted by the hand of Providence me arrived at Dover on the first of March where me stayed two tree foure and five dayes exercising my faculty in a charitable way among tee poore Seamans tee residue of tee time before I came to this renowned City me spent for tee most part in Canterbury where by reason of tee great confluence of People me was forced to erect a Stage whereon to preserve my own selfe from stifling and the better to present my own selfe and my Rarities to the sight and view of the multitude Yet for for all this me could take very little money Me appeared every day with my Dwarfe my Hermaphrodite and my Monkey and entertained them all a mode de France with Songs Anticks and Masques yet all would not not doe me could see but little money My selfe and my Hermaphrodite My Dwarf and Monkey all that night Were very full of sorrow We did despaire To take the ayre In publike on the morrow Yet once more we came forth againe And had our labour for our paine Though me pul'd out rare knacks All with one voice Made a great noise And cri'd we were but Quacks Then down me laid my Velvet cloke And quickly pul'd out of my poke Papers from sev'rall lands Where they did see Wonders of me Confirm'd by thousand hands The silly people now beleeve And crafty me do laugh in sleeve To see them so soon taken They money bring To buy each thing Besides Goose Eggs and Bacon When me had vented all my Commodities it was not safe for me to stay long there yet me be sure if tey do them no good tey will do them no harme And now me be newly come unto this famous City of London and the City of London cannot but confesse themselves very much beholden to me that after so many yeares travaile and experience in severall Countries both Christian and Pagan me be pleased now in these latter and most knowing daies of mine to leave wandring and reside here with them The reason why me do shew mine selfe in print first is because me be tickled in the conceit by some that this is the best way to make my selfe known unto you and the setting up of Bils upon Posts is the tricks of tee Mountebanke which me do abhorre Imprimis me do meane to tell you what rare exploits me have done abroad Me first in Paris up was bred A mender of the Maidenhead Where by mine Art I did restore The sound and eke the Pocky Whore And so salve up Virginity That none could any fault espie This cal'd me out of France to Spain To stop up a new open'd Vein Me found the Lady sore and Stradling Yet made her go quick without wadling With promises to make me great She would have kept me for this Feat But me cri'd Madam pardon me For me be bound for Tartarie In haste to visit the great Cham And rectifie his crooked Hamme Besides to shew a piece of Art Upon his Doxies lower part Me made their Tooles so well and right They got three Heires all in a night The next of my admired workes Was done among the cruell Turkes Where to the Fame of me and France Me mended up a sad mischance The broken necke me firme did set Of their then Emperour Mahomet And once me rais'd from death to life With Cordials the Grand-Seigniors wife Thence me came into Germanie Where were as cunning Knaves as I Such tricks me saw that me did feare Mine for that place too shallow were From thence to England me soone come And here intend to make my home And now Dukes Earles Lords Bishops Knights Deanes Prebends Gentlemen of Englant c. and all others High and Low Rich and Poore me do addresse mine selfe to you in all humility For as much as me do understand that since this present Perliament there hath been many strange and unheard of diseases seizing upon certain sorts of People that were in perfect health before and as yet remaining incureable me being accustomed to cure such diseases do undertake these Maladies following and for my better proceeding in the cure when they come to my hands me joyn to every Mallady some short directions for their observation Though a Parliament as me do know be salus Populi the best meanes conduceing to the health of this Nation yet as in ill conditioned stomacks oftentimes the best Cordials degenerate into an ill nature and so become as offensive to the Body as the ill humours themselves even so this Parliament which God preserve though as well a temper'd Cordiall for this languishing Kingdome as ever was yet to some ill humoured Members it hath proved Feavourish and set them all on Fire as Iesuits Papists and Cavaliers and to others as bad as poyson as to Church Statists and Monopolists those Catterpillers of the Common-wealth c. So then me being by my proffession to cure all diseases must not be blamed if me do name all indifferently and me do see no reason why me should be blamed for nameing such of these diseases which me do intend and promise to cure therefore Sans dissimulation or Feare me do proceed Imprimis once more if you know Of any Citizen does owe More then he can pay Though broken-backt me him assure Me have a medicine will him cure Let him break word or day Is any Bishop with a paine Much troubled in his head or braine And would be made lighter Me do suppose that the worst harme Comes from his being kept too warme Let him throw off his miter Hath any been a great whore-master And in his age now wants a plaister That will do the deed Hath any Madam caught the pox By daily tribute to her box She need not purge or bleed She shall regain her credit well If she observe what me do tell And then take what me give her No matter who dare to attaint her For there are wayes in age to Saint her Though ne're so lewd a liver Is any troubled with sore eyes For losing of Pluralities Me have a good water To cool them and a most rare pill To purge the humours that are ill And feed the greedy matter These and many more the Professour hereof will faithfully performe he beeing but newly come to town you cannot expect much from him till longer observation hath better acquainted him with the diseases now raging and ranging in this Land If any desire to make use of him in any of these particulars aforenamed or to make known any other Malladie wherewith they are afflicted let them repaire to the Physitiaus Colledge Vive Le Roy.
