place_v there_o if_o they_o do_v only_o flow_v thither_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o they_o do_v all_o vanish_v after_o death_n because_o they_o be_v not_o part_n of_o the_o body_n nor_o be_v

into_o a_o gross_a and_o filthy_a moss_n their_o spiritual_a substance_n will_v nor_o endure_v that_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o he_o err_v in_o say_v that_o this_o moss_n contain_v

crollius_n mix_v in_o his_o ointment_n but_o the_o weight_n of_o two_o hazel_n nut_n which_o be_v as_o hartman_n interpret_v one_o dram_n but_o paracelsus_n deem_v two_o vounce_n little_a enough_o

a_o man_n which_o paracelsus_n do_v put_v in_o then_o other_o simples_n be_v add_v such_o as_o may_v be_v insert_v in_o other_o ointment_n and_o plaster_n for_o paracelsus_n add_v thereunto_o

very_o different_a here_o the_o reader_n must_v consider_v that_o these_o be_v two_o several_a kind_n of_o ointment_n real_o differ_v and_o have_v nothing_o common_a but_o the_o moss_n which_o

those_o thing_n to_o which_o the_o paracelsian_n do_v attribute_v the_o whole_a magnetical_a virtue_n yea_o some_o have_v leave_v out_o the_o very_a moss_n also_o three_o some_o in_o the_o make_n up_o of_o the_o ointment_n do_v observe_v the_o divers_a aspect_n and_o course_n of_o the_o star_n crollius_n scrape_n off_o the_o moss_n the_o moon_n increase_v be_v in_o the_o house_n of_o venus_n or_o

in_o a_o manner_n all_o the_o example_n of_o cure_n which_o they_o instance_n be_v only_o of_o simple_a wound_n in_o the_o flesh_n in_o which_o there_o be_v no_o loss_n of_o substance_n at_o all_o

of_o the_o skull_n in_o which_o spirit_n be_v contain_v hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o when_o
the_o aforesaid_a oil_n of_o vitriol_n brimstone_n glove_n origan_n and_o other_o such_o like_a which_o whether_o they_o may_v be_v take_v alone_o without_o any_o danger_n or_o no_o they_o shall_v

be_v better_a therefore_o to_o administer_v some_o thing_n in_o a_o large_a dose_n with_o their_o own_o substance_n than_o their_o spirit_n in_o the_o least_o quantity_n although_o in_o many_o thing_n we_o do_v not_o dislike_v the_o contract_n of_o good_a virtue_n into_o a_o small_a body_n so_o as_o it_o be_v use_v with_o right_a reason_n to_o wit_n those_o thing_n be_v observe_v which_o the_o medicinal_a art_n of_o galen_n and_o hypocrates_n teach_v to_o observe_v in_o the_o next_o place_n they_o disallow_v of_o decoction_n because_o much_o of_o the_o strength_n do_v perish_v thereby_o the_o unpleasant_a relish_v remain_v and_o the_o virtue_n be_v dull_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o mixture_n of_o a_o strange_a moisture_n but_o first_o the_o inconvenience_n will_v be_v avoid_v if_o the_o decoction_n be_v make_v in_o a_o double_a vessel_n that_o the_o spirit_n evaporate_v not_o as_o for_o the_o relish_n they_o themselves_o do_v more_o correct_v it_o than_o the_o galenist_n do_v and_o in_o like_a manner_n they_o use_v water_n as_o a_o vehicle_n to_o the_o spirit_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o decoction_n be_v many_o time_n far_o better_a than_o distil_a water_n and_o extract_n because_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o simples_n pass_v into_o the_o liquor_n without_o alter_v of_o the_o temperament_n at_o all_o colic_n the_o decoction_n of_o anise_v good_a against_o the_o colic_n thus_o heurnius_n observe_v that_o he_o do_v more_o successful_o cure_v the_o pain_n of_o the_o colic_n with_o the_o decoction_n of_o anise_v than_o with_o the_o spirit_n or_o oil_n of_o it_o the_o same_o thing_n have_v i_o also_o often_o observe_v the_o reason_n whereof_o may_v be_v this_o because_o the_o decoction_n drink_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o anise_v into_o every_o part_n of_o it_o whereas_o three_o or_o four_o drop_n of_o the_o oil_n do_v most_o vehement_o affect_v the_o part_n which_o they_o first_o touch_v but_o do_v not_o diffuse_v their_o virtue_n any_o further_a neither_o if_o they_o be_v administer_v in_o broth_n or_o any_o other_o liquor_n can_v they_o be_v thorough_o mix_v therewith_o the_o temperature_n of_o many_o thing_n be_v sometime_o lose_v by_o distil_v and_o paracelsus_n himself_o do_v often_o confess_v as_o much_o yea_o that_o something_n which_o in_o substance_n may_v safe_o be_v take_v by_o distil_v do_v become_v hurtful_a as_o honey_n which_o say_v he_o be_v thrice_o distil_v turn_v to_o poison_v we_o infuse_v medicament_n when_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o the_o subtle_a part_n but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o they_o than_o they_o be_v administer_v either_o whole_a or_o prepare_v some_o other_o way_n neither_o be_v infusion_n make_v in_o water_n only_o but_o in_o divers_a other_o liquor_n also_o they_o seem_v also_o too_o much_o to_o fear_v the_o addition_n of_o honey_n and_o sugar_n because_o say_v they_o they_o have_v venomous_a and_o deadly_a spirit_n paracelsus_n aver_v it_o of_o honey_n thrice_o sublimate_v but_o be_v take_v whole_a they_o do_v not_o send_v forth_o such_o noxious_a spirit_n whereby_o we_o know_v that_o the_o separation_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o chemist_n be_v not_o alike_o who_o will_v believe_v that_o the_o hot_a spirit_n of_o wheat_n can_v be_v draw_v out_o by_o our_o heat_n as_o it_o be_v by_o art_n nature_n of_o meat_n do_v create_v chyle_n blood_n choler_n but_o art_n spirit_n oil_n and_o quintessence_n which_o do_v very_o much_o differ_v from_o the_o nature_n and_o temperature_n of_o their_o matter_n although_o therefore_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o the_o operation_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o chemical_a art_n be_v not_o alike_o yet_o it_o be_v sufficient_a if_o those_o thing_n which_o do_v result_v from_o the_o chemical_a operation_n be_v make_v convenient_a for_o man_n body_n to_o withstand_v the_o disease_n of_o it_o and_o that_o be_v in_o my_o judgement_n be_v praise_v worthy_a which_o in_o imitation_n of_o nature_n do_v so_o diverse_o change_v body_n for_o the_o use_n of_o man_n therefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a from_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v that_o chemical_a remedy_n be_v not_o always_o to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o other_o now_o though_o the_o galenist_n do_v just_o refuse_v the_o doctrine_n of_o paracelsus_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o disallow_v of_o chemical_a remedy_n but_o leave_v they_o their_o own_o place_n in_o physic_n and_o the_o chemist_n themselves_o can_v be_v without_o remedy_n prepare_v after_o the_o vulgar_a way_n remedy_n chemist_n be_v not_o without_o vulgar_a remedy_n as_o be_v evident_a in_o quercetanus_n and_o other_o yea_o and_o paracelsus_n himself_o who_o prescribe_v many_o decoction_n and_o infusion_n and_o use_v many_o thing_n whole_a not_o change_v at_o all_o by_o any_o chemical_a art_n therefore_o to_o both_o of_o they_o their_o own_o praise_n be_v due_a for_o sometime_o there_o be_v need_n of_o use_v chemical_a remedy_n sometime_o yea_o very_o often_o the_o other_o most_o indifferent_a therefore_o be_v the_o galenist_n who_o do_v not_o reject_v chemical_a remedy_n but_o the_o chemist_n be_v blame_v worthy_a in_o that_o they_o never_o use_v other_o than_o their_o own_o whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o oftentimes_o they_o promise_v wonder_n which_o as_o experience_n show_v they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o perform_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o unskilful_a man_n

against_o the_o plague_n or_o no._n i_o have_v hear_v some_o aver_v that_o tobacco_n be_v a_o preservative_n against_o the_o plague_n monardes_n commend_n it_o against_o poison_n but_o especial_o against_o wound_n that_o be_v make_v by_o poison_a weapon_n and_o venomous_a beast_n which_o those_o that_o write_v hereof_o do_v understand_v of_o the_o green_a herb_n or_o of_o the_o juice_n thereof_o apply_v to_o the_o affect_a part_n and_o not_o of_o the_o smoke_n take_v as_o now_o adays_o they_o use_v it_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o smoke_n may_v do_v good_a against_o the_o plague_n but_o not_o as_o many_o think_v plague_n tobacco_n ha●h_v not_o any_o antidotary_n quality_n against_o the_o plague_n by_o any_o antidotary_n quality_n that_o it_o have_v against_o poison_n but_o for_o other_o cause_n for_o those_o thing_n that_o preserve_v from_o the_o plague_n be_v either_o such_o as_o cleanse_v the_o body_n from_o excrement_n or_o that_o dry_a it_o whereby_o it_o do_v not_o so_o easy_o receive_v the_o poison_n now_o that_o the_o smoke_n of_o tobacco_n do_v dry_a the_o brain_n and_o the_o body_n and_o void_a out_o the_o humour_n by_o the_o mouth_n and_o sometime_o by_o vomit_n it_o be_v evident_a enough_o and_o thus_o perhaps_o it_o preserve_v from_o the_o plague_n but_o no_o peculiar_a virtue_n of_o effect_v that_o after_o this_o manner_n be_v find_v in_o the_o smoke_n for_o those_o thing_n that_o do_v evacuate_v do_v only_o by_o accident_n preserve_v from_o the_o plague_n as_o purge_v blood_a etc._n etc._n therefore_o no_o reason_n enforce_v that_o we_o shall_v attribute_v to_o the_o smoke_n any_o peculiar_a virtue_n of_o preserve_v from_o the_o plague_n but_o beside_o many_o observe_v that_o in_o the_o plague_n a_o man_n ought_v to_o abstain_v

or_o preserve_v man_n from_o it_o by_o vomit_n of_o antimony_n when_o perhaps_o they_o can_v not_o defend_v themselves_o from_o it_o as_o platerus_n in_o his_o observation_n report_n of_o one_o adam_n of_o bodenstein_n a_o famous_a chemist_n who_o in_o his_o writing_n profess_v a_o most_o certain_a manner_n of_o cure_v or_o prevent_v the_o pestilence_n who_o nevertheless_o get_v it_o himself_o at_o

especial_o vomitory_n who_o do_v debilitate_v a_o noble_a part_n and_o offer_v great_a violence_n to_o nature_n there_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o preserve_v from_o the_o plague_n to_o wit_n by_o

we_o have_v no_o experience_n of_o any_o such_o virtue_n in_o tobacco_n for_o so_o many_o thousand_o of_o man_n who_o that_o great_a plague_n at_o london_n and_o in_o other_o place_n in_o this_o kingdom_n have_v sweep_v away_o the_o great_a part_n of_o who_o do_v without_o doubt_n take_v tobacco_n be_v as_o so_o many_o witness_n to_o testify_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o virtue_n therein_o and_o none_o of_o they_o that_o recover_v can_v attribute_v any_o thing_n to_o tobacco_n as_o a_o mean_n of_o their_o recovery_n but_o if_o it_o have_v no_o cure_v virtue_n it_o have_v no_o preserve_a quality_n neither_o moreover_o they_o must_v know_v that_o other_o poison_n have_v their_o proper_a antidote_n antidote_n the_o pestilence_n have_v no_o proper_a antidote_n but_o the_o pestilence_n have_v none_o at_o all_o only_a physician_n use_v cordial_a remedy_n not_o whereby_o the_o poison_n be_v extinguish_v but_o only_a nature_n fortify_v against_o the_o force_n of_o the_o poison_n which_o it_o afterward_o expel_v by_o sweat_n or_o some_o other_o emunctory_n of_o the_o body_n but_o that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o cordial_a virtue_n in_o tobacco_n the_o dizziness_n swoon_n cold_a sweat_n vomit_v and_o other_o symptom_n that_o be_v cause_v by_o it_o do_v manifest_a which_o rather_o betoken_v a_o venomous_a than_o a_o cordial_a quality_n therefore_o although_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o it_o do_v any_o hurt_n yet_o i_o think_v it_o do_v not_o much_o good_a moreover_o the_o brain_n as_o galen_n say_v in_o art_n medicâ_fw-la in_o the_o chapter_n concern_v the_o sign_n of_o a_o hot_a brain_n be_v easy_o offend_v with_o the_o ambient_fw-la air_n those_o that_o have_v hot_a brain_n say_v he_o their_o head_n be_v very_o subject_a to_o be_v distemper_v

the_o use_n of_o tobacco_n the_o brain_n be_v very_o much_o heat_v there_o be_v danger_n lest_o it_o be_v
