TO HIS GRACE GEORGE DUKE Marquess and Earl of BVCKINGHAM c. MY LORD I PRESENT not this small Piece unto Your Grace with so large a Confidence and good Opinion either of my own or its worth as to think it a Composure that Merits your Patronage and Protection it is only out of Gratitude and a Compliance with that good and just Adage Qui aquam hauris puteum corona Your Grace being the greatest and most constant Incourager and Fautor that this Age hath produced not only to Ingenuity in general but also to my particular Self though the meanest of Nature's now Numerous Disciples Give me leave to make it my Opportunity to return an Acknowledgment for that signal Honour of Your Princely Countenance and other Favours You have been pleased to confer on me I offer it not My Lord for your Instruction You are One whom Nature hath already admitted and her Self taught You in her own Schole the Tract of her most Secret Operations and being as You are even to Admiration above others of a most subtile and quick Apprehension and one who by Your own most Noble and Acute Genius Conceptions Observations and constant Manual Operations have not only discover'd the Vanity of the Galenick way but rendred Your Self most Perfect as well in the Practick as Theory of Experimental Philosophy and consequently are abundantly Stored and Enriched with those two worthy and commendable Attributes of the Learned Judgment and Candor I cannot appeal to such another Judge and Patron Be pleased therefore to accept of this my Mite and from an improvement of my Talent You may justly expect and challenge and shall accordingly receive a more large and ample Offering In the mean time I beg pardon for this trouble and presumption who in all faithfulness am My Lord Your Graces most humble and most devoted Servant Edward Bolnest To Doctor Edward Bolnest at his House in Jewen-street near Cripplegate My honor'd Friend THat you have vouchafed me the Sight of those Papers which you intend for the Press t is an Argument of extraordinary Friendship and a submitting to my opinion shews that your Humility is as great as your Knowledge in the noblest part of Medicine There are many other persons of our Society you might have pitch't on to whom I pay a reverence and submission in point of Chymical Philosophy whose long labours in the Fire have qualified them to a degree of Eminency far above me and on whose Judgment you might have more surely rested but since it is so that you have singled out me the meanest of our Collegues I will be free with you and you and all the World shall have my Opinion whether it be worth any thing or no. One thing in the Front pleaseth me exceedingly and that is the name of that Excellent Person my Lord Duke of Buckingham one that knows you well and how to value you a Prince by Merit as well as Title for whether you take him in the Chymical or in his Politick capacity he appears no less in either and yet he can be greater if he please because with so rare a Wit and other Abilities of mind seated in a comely Body I know not what he may not effect in Philosophy and Politie by plying his Laboratory at Home and another at Court Therefore 't is fit he should be your Patron because he is able to be your Judge And as for those Noble Preparations of whose vertues you give some Account to the World whatever others may think I can by Experience say that in several Cases I have found them the best that ever I met with This is to do you Right not to flatter you because you are above it and 〈…〉 cause it is that I have been Instrumental to pull you out of your privacy and by perswasions brought you upon the publick Theatre that men may know how learnedly and judiciously you can write as well as operate and that being thus openly ingaged in the Cause of Chymistry the Adverse party of Calumniators may be ashamed while they go about and tattle among the Women and weaker sort of Men that we are a Company of Illiterate Professors and this because we have admitted some Persons to associate who have not been hooded in an University though 't is known they every day mend the work of their VVorships and cure what they leave off as incurable by Galenick Remedies of which 't is like the World may shortly have sufficient Information and if men may be justified by their Works it will appear how mean soever their Book-learning be that the least of them hath skill enough in Medicine to furnish a score of the ordinary Master Drs. In the mean time 't is well we are not wanting of others who have a Reputation for Letters and that we have you Sir for a Champion you that can Instruct a Colledge if need be Therefore Macte tuâ virtute go on as you have begun that the Profession of Physick may be redeemed from that obloquie which the usual unprofitable Learning and idle pride of the Professors hath brought upon it among the People and that from your Pen men may know there is a way to true Physical Learning which lies quite out of the Common Scholastick Road and that we must pass through the fire to it while the fine Fellows are afraid to follow for fear of singeing their Scarlet And yet 't is pretty to observe how some of them now at last perceiving most of the great Lords and other Noble Gentlemen of Learning do prefer our way before the Galenick are not ashamed to cry out that themselves also are Chymists and so no need of erecting a new Society upon the account of Chymistry but alas what hope is there of a due Reformation of Physick by Chymical Principles and Operations in the hands of such as make pretence of owning them meerly to put by others that are fast friends to the work had not we and our fellow-labourers bestirr'd our selves to erect a New Colledge to give credit to the State of Physick by putting People into a readier way of ease and Security for their lives and Purses there
