A66808	Pyrologia mimica, or, An answer to hydrologia chymica of William Sympson, phylo-chymico-medicus in defence of scarbrough-spaw : wherein the five mineral principles of the said spaw are defended against all his objections by plain reason and experiments, and further confirmed by a discovery of Mr. S. his frequent contradictions and manifest recantation : also a vindication of the rational method and practice of physick called galenical, and a reconciliation betwixt that and the chymical : likewise a further discourse about the original of springs / by Robert Wittie ...

a_o excellent_a appendix_n to_o the_o noble_a art_n of_o physic_n and_o if_o the_o gentleman_n have_v be_v but_o good_a nature_a and_o modest_a i_o do_v confident_o affirm_v they_o have_v in_o all_o
