But if they be given after the matter of the disease is rightly prepated the former caution includeth an imposture Because it a●tributes an effect me●rly procured by the benefit of Nature to the purging medicine From which the honest Physitian 25. That this A phorism includes a decelt and the unadvisedness of Hyp●crates shall more justly abstain at that time B●cause then he distu●bs the Cris●● he induceth a danger of a confusion and relapse also For a purging medicine doth always and of it self bring out that which is not concocted in the same manner as it doth that which afterward is alled concocted because it is every where 〈◊〉 and vir●lent But after Nature 〈◊〉 come the disease it brings less hurt neither is the fraud of the Laxative so manifestly then perceived And by that means if a purging medicine be at that time given the Physitian wil seem to have conquered the disease by his own Art Ph. So that if every Purgative should bring away its own humours by el●ction they would necessarily conduce also in every station of the disease by reason that they always bring forth the same liquo●s with the same ill savour Py. But they disturb more especially before Nature hath gotten the superiority then afterwards And this superiority or victory 26. An abuse of the name ●on●oction in dis●●ses over the disease the Schools call concoction Not that Nature goes about to digest or concoct any thing that is vicious or falls not within limits of her use as being governed by an unerring Intelligence And this admonishm●nt may suffice touching both these universal helps in F●vers And therefore I will conclude with Hypoerates to Democritus Every Purgative preys upon the strength and substance of our bodies FINIS Reader These Books following are printed for Nath.

command he should be honoured Whether peradventure it might be he who had read over the institutions and some clasclassick Authors and had meausur'd out a ful triennial residence within some Academi● and at last through disputations and examinations by Professors should be sent out a candidate admitted as well by secular power as ecclesiastical Or whether it were he who in the same title of Physitian was grown old under anothers suffering and in the mean time full of years experiments and monies Then I perceived that the infirm stood in need of a Physi●ian whom the Highest had created and was compleatly instructed And that the sound man wanted no Physitian to stand by him to command the Kitchin to number his bits and give rules for diet On the other part I considered Quod unguentarius conficeret pigmenta Suavitatis nec consumarentur opera e●us Nec esset medicamentum exterminii in terris Which sounded thus That the true Physitian shall cut down all diseases with an equal sithe and that with these are no sicknesses incurable Ph. Certainly this is a memorable difference between that Physitian which the highest had created and him whom the Acadamies have created after the doctrine of the Gentiles Py. It is so and hereupon an immeasurable catalogue of incurables presently represented themselves unto me as if God had had no care of them at all or that such diseased people were not sick as who should say that for their necessities he had created neither a Physitian nor Physick in the Universities For these men do not onely cast such patients into desperation but they number also those diseases which of their own accord are cured among such diseases as are desperate yea they hold the Quartan and such infirmities as for some years together keep their constant roots and are for the most part through an inbred tedious irksomness of Nature finished I say they hold these as incurable And unless the remaining diseases should run themselves at last unto a period they would all in conclusion bee equally added to the incurable for the most part know not how to take away the tootheche but by pulling out the tooth And so peradventure in an old headache they would for healths sake give command that the head be taken from the shoulders could the life be safe without it Ph. I see then that after many toilsome years it troubled you that you had known and learned nothing more then nothing Py. You say right for though I believed that God created the Physitian and simple Medicines also yet I stuck at the knowledge of this Physitian and the things he used and that made me often sigh and wish O that I could come at length to be but scholler to such a Physitian Ph. But in the mean season you knew assuredly that the art of Physick which the Grecians and the Arabians had laboured in and that also which the Jews feign they have received by tradition from the R●bins under their Kabala was far different and distant from that whereof the holy Text makes mention did you not Py. I did so and therefore at last it came into my minde that the science of Physick should by the means intention and end thereof have a good beginning As that it was Donum bonum descenden● a patre Jac. 1. 17. luminum And that therefore this never descended first upon the Ethnicks and Jews however our credulity may suppose them inspired as being such whom God created not Physitians nor for our necessities no nor to be honour'd but such whom God had seriously commanded to be shunned Ph. I pray you describe unto mee this Physitian which you speak of Py. The Physitian that is created of God is not defective nor given to gain neither is he an enemy of Christians but full of charity Ph. Have you noted the rarity of this good guift in any man Py. The first time I took notice of it was in Diascorides Who in the days of Plato wherein he lived described the histories of hearbs and from that time hitherto there is scarce any thing added to him but much taken from him And therefore for these 2300 years scarce any light hath descended from above upon this doctrine of hearbs though it bee a thing of much use and very necessary wherefore I conjectured that in other orders of obstruser knowledges this heavenly light hath f●ln but sparingly but least of all upon the Gentiles Atheists and perfidious Jews who are secluded from truth and charity and therefore by the God of light are left and given over Ph. The births of things as they are tied to the fulness of times whereof we are ignorant so doubtless the true guift of healing descendeth not but upon a maturity of Gods appointment Nor will a light that 's given gratis shine at our pleasure for he that made all things as he would will also make them when he will and perfect them in whom he will Py. 'T is very right for I am now grown old as being above these 40 years of this society of Physitians and but now at last in this old age of mine it comes unto my knowledge that the Theorems of the Schools must be by me subverted that presently all things in the next age following may fall in pieces as being destitute of the lime or morter of Truth which should make them stick together Ph. What certainty had you of this guif● of healing Py. So great a certainty and so venerable an authority that I was not onely sensible of the giver but that he was also interpreter of his guift unto mee So that now all doubt is banisht from me Ph. What kinde of knowledge is this you speak of Py. Such a knowledge as is far more certain then that that 's formed by demonstration For there is no ability or power in or of words whereby we may communicate this certainty Ph. Shall those who reade your Medenda Initia know it Py. I know that all who reade them shall not be equal sharers in the fruit of them for God will ever remain the dispenser of this guift of his Ph. What have you said then all this while Py. What I have said is said to let you know that there is a cloud cast about this guift by mine indignity that hee that can may catch the course of Nature For my hope was that as the number and cruelty of diseases was increased so God would inspire the guift of healing into the abject little ones of this universe And as he sent into the last age before this of ours Paracelsus a rich forerunner in the knowledge of resolving bodies and of glorious remedies so it might come to pass that he would now add this science of Adeption which Paracelsus wanted Ph. If it might without offence bee lawfull I could willingly hear of an enquiry made after the reason of that divine decree for which that adept guift of healing descends so little upon Christians Py.
