SCARBROVGHS Spagyrical Anatomizer dissected OR AN ANSWER To all that Dr. Tonstal hath Objected in his Book against Scarbrough Spaw The Innocency and Excellency of that Spaw is further asserted 1. Concerning the Rise and Growth of the Art of Physick 2. Touching the Causes of the Petrifying Property that is in some Springs and more especially that of the Dropping well at Knaresbrough 3. About the Signs Symptomes and Cures of Diseases As also Reflections upon a late Piece called a Vindication of Hydrologia Chymica By Robert Wittie Doctor in Physick London Printed by B. G. for Nath. Brooke at the An●el in Cornhil and R. Lambert at Minister-Gate in York Anno Dom. 1672. To the Right Honourable JAMES Earl of Suffolk JOHN Lord Roos Son and Heir to the Earl of Rutland and JAMES Lord Annesley Son and Heir to the Earl of Anglesey My Lords I Am once more ingaged to appear again in Publick in defence of Scarbrough Spaw which is now accused to be a dangerous Water and what fitter Judges of this Controversie can be found out then your Lordships who have tried it and found it not only most Innocent but Excellent My ultimate and highest Appeal is therefore to your Honours since two of your Lordships do bear its Testimony within you As for you my Lord Annesley though I cannot say this last of your Lordship since you did not drink of it out of any necessity but for company of your Noble Brother the last Summer yet this I may say your Lordship had an ill share of it if it have the faults that some have ascribed to it And farther your Acute Judgment and Excellent Learning wherewith you are qualified for the Highest Service of your Prince and Country when called renders your Lordship a most competent Judge of this Subject beyond all Imposition And the Favourable Aspect which then both your Lordships were pleased to Grace this Discourse and its Author withal do justly challenge this my Thankful and Publick Acknowledgment I humbly beg of all your Lordships the Acceptance of this in token of the great Service and Honour I owe you for all your Noble Favours vouchsafed to York June 3. 1671. My Lords Your Lordships most humble Servant R. WITTIE To the Reader MEthink I hear some object that my Answer to this Book comes too late so as I might have spared my self this labour a return being last Summer made thereto in a piece called A Vindication of Hydrologia Chymica To which I reply Sat cito si bene sat it is soon enough if it be well enough This was finished in June last as some Persons of Honour do know before that came out but was thought fit to be supprest t●ll the year came about when the Waters here treated of might become the common subject of discourse And further I shall say if my Answer be but like that then have I lost my labour and thou thy money for in the judgement of learned men it will with that deserve nothing but to be imployed in the most homely us●s That Author is scarce satisfied with any thing that this sayes save only where he opposes and girds at me What the one calls the Glebe of Alome the other calls the Minera of Iron The one calls the Salt of Alome an Alkali the other an Acid Salt The one affirms an Acidity to be in Nitre the other denies it nor do their reasons convince each other Thus it appears they do not well understand the Terms of the Art they profess and truly when men run careers in the dark it s no wonder to have them justle And though they differ yet its pretty sport to see how they claw one another with the frequent Title of Ingenious Friend while yet I am not allowed to dissent be my reasons never so cogent but I am called out of my name by the young man with unscholar-like reproaches and new invented stories that have not the least pretence of truth in them The great fault they find in Scarb. Spaw and which they reckon to be its disparagement is the great quantity of Mineral sediment that remains after evaporation over the fire I declare I never saw harm come from thence The only fault I know in that Spring is that it is placed in an angle of the Kingdom at so great distance from London and the midland Counties where if providence had ordered it being found to have the vertues both of Epsam and Tunbridge it would have been more known and better trusted then now it is Now though like Sampson's f●xes they turn tails of one another yet they agree in this to fire their neighbors Corn and causelesly to disparage the Spring revenging their Schism upon themselves by separating from one another as they do both from the truth And though Mr. S. can hardly close with Dr. Y. S. arguments against the Spaw yet out of design he supposes somewhat of it may be true on purpose to make room for himself and so undertakes to give rules of advice to those that come there where he says no more then what may sure such subjects in general but wisely refers the Patients to advise with those that understand their cases better At last he proves most ingenious and calls it a noble Spaw wherewith he would improve other Spaws even that at Knaresbrough p. 152. by dissolving the Salts of Scarbrough water to make it more effectual Why could not he say so before but however Nunquam sera est c. And 't is honestly said let the minerals be wh●t and how many they will of which more anon My reply is this in a word Quod efficit tale illud est magis tale But I may not pass that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of mine the Author of the Vindication of Hydrol. Chymica and his Book without a further survey That Hydrol. Chymic is little else then a Rapsody of Railing first against me about my Book of the Spaw and then against the Galenists and their Method To that Book I gave Answer justifying what I had writ about the Principles of the Spaw and at last after a great deal o●bad language that he had given me for assisting them I found him recanting in his Epilogue and confessing them all I also maintained the Honour and Reputation of those worthy Gentlemen the Galenisis and their method of Physick who deserve a better Champion both from Reason and also the Authority of the most eminent among the Chymists who all go that way Nor has that Discourse been unwelcome to the Nation but I have had thanks from many private Gentlemen both of our own Faculty and others yea and from some publick Societies of Learned men Now when I had so fully discovered his errors to him an ingenious man would rather have repented and cried peccavi then writ a vindication what faults he made there he has aggravated in this with more gross circumstances He charges my quotations of Authors to be impertinent
