ought_v to_o be_v the_o care_n of_o every_o physician_n to_o know_v they_o and_o to_o know_v they_o thorough_o for_o there_o be_v very_o many_o tedious_a disease_n and_o many_o malady_n incident_a to_o the_o body_n of_o man_n which_o be_v root_v out_o by_o these_o medicine_n which_o prolong_v life_n in_o this_o discourse_n of_o long_a life_n i_o will_v first_o give_v you_o the_o theory_n of_o it_o and_o then_o the_o practice_n that_o you_o may_v full_o know_v all_o that_o concern_v long_a life_n i_o will_v not_o have_v any_o to_o doubt_v of_o this_o that_o life_n may_v be_v prolong_v for_o these_o two_o reason_n 1._o because_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v any_o certain_a day_n or_o hour_n of_o any_o man_n death_n 2_o because_o we_o have_v medicine_n prepare_v for_o we_o by_o he_o who_o have_v create_v we_o both_o to_o preserve_v we_o from_o disease_n and_o to_o drive_v out_o disease_n hence_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o neither_o disease_n bring_v death_n neither_o be_v death_n the_o cause_n of_o disease_n nay_o death_n and_o disease_n agree_v no_o better_a than_o fire_n and_o water_n a_o natural_a disease_n hate_v death_n as_o every_o part_n of_o the_o live_a body_n hate_v death_n i_o intend_v in_o this_o discourse_n to_o speak_v to_o those_o of_o my_o own_o way_n who_o by_o great_a skill_n and_o daily_a experience_n have_v search_v into_o and_o do_v know_v the_o propertie●_n and_o nature_n of_o thing_n which_o be_v hide_v and_o unknown_a to_o presumptuous_a and_o titular_a doctor_n and_o i_o do_v affirm_v this_o as_o a_o most_o certain_a truth_n that_o the_o body_n may_v be_v restore_v change_v to_o the_o better_a yea_o whole_o renew_v as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v plain_o see_v in_o metal_n which_o may_v be_v so_o purify_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v afterward_o free_a from_o any_o rust_n so_o likewise_o dead_a body_n if_o they_o be_v embalm_v do_v not_o putrify_v afterward_o some_o perhaps_o may_v dislike_v my_o write_n because_o they_o be_v short_a and_o because_o of_o those_o example_n which_o i_o use_v but_o my_o write_n be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v slight_v see_v i_o use_v only_o the_o example_n of_o such_o thing_n which_o be_v or_o may_v be_v do_v by_o nature_n as_o in_o this_o comparison_n of_o metal_n with_o the_o body_n of_o man_n i_o know_v that_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n betwixt_o these_o two_o yet_o they_o be_v both_o preserve_v one_o way_n as_o experience_n teach_v if_o a_o dead_a body_n can_v be_v preserve_v by_o balsam_n from_o putrefaction_n or_o decay_n how_o much_o more_o may_v a_o live_a body_n be_v so_o preserve_v now_o there_o be_v three_o part_n of_o man_n age_n viz._n young_a age_n middle_a age_n and_o old_a age_n and_o each_o of_o these_o must_v have_v such_o medicine_n for_o prolong_v life_n as_o be_v proper_a and_o suitable_a to_o they_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v also_o three_o kind_n of_o medicine_n for_o the_o conservation_n of_o life_n according_a to_o these_o three_o age_n we_o may_v likewise_o say_v that_o there_o be_v three_o part_n in_o long_a life_n according_a to_o those_o three_o part_n of_o man_n age_n for_o many_o may_v die_v in_o their_o infancy_n many_o

man_n shall_v outlive_v a_o weak_a old_a man_n no_o part_n of_o man_n age_n have_v any_o certain_a time_n of_o death_n appoint_v to_o it_o the_o infant_n in_o the_o mother_n womb_n may_v have_v many_o

all_o scab_n itch_n wolf_n canker_n etc._n etc._n yea_o all_o outward_a sore_n whatsoever_o if_o the_o sore_n be_v therewith_o anoint_v but_o it_o cause_v great_a pain_n and_o this_o you_o must_v

may_v preserve_v the_o sound_a flesh_n that_o it_o be_v not_o corrupt_v you_o shall_v use_v with_o this_o oil_n our_o oppodeltoch_n plaster_n describe_v in_o my_o great_a chirurgie_n this_o medicine_n be_v so_o powerful_a and_o operative_a that_o it_o can_v help_v many_o such_o sore_n for_o which_o other_o remedy_n be_v too_o weak_a it_o will_v not_o be_v unfitting_a if_o you_o mix_v this_o oil_n with_o some_o good_a ointment_n so_o it_o will_v be_v much_o mild_a but_o dull_a in_o operation_n it_o will_v not_o cause_v so_o great_a pain_n but_o it_o can_v be_v use_v without_o some_o pain_n this_o red_a oil_n of_o coperas_fw-la will_v be_v much_o better_a and_o more_o powerful_a if_o by_o distil_v it_o you_o bring_v it_o to_o be_v a_o spirit_n and_o so_o it_o will_v cure_v the_o

chemist_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v admire_v that_o a_o metal_n shall_v leave_v its_o own_o nature_n and_o become_v another_o metal_n by_o this_o we_o see_v what_o privilege_n god_n have_v bestow_v upon_o nature_n for_o man_n use_n whence_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o there_o may_v be_v great_a change_n wrought_v in_o metal_n which_o be_v unknown_a to_o we_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o there_o be_v many_o secret_n unknown_a to_o we_o which_o god_n will_v not_o reveal_v because_o we_o be_v unworthy_a of_o they_o now_o to_o change_v iron_n into_o copper_n be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o turn_v iron_n into_o gold_n god_n have_v make_v know_v to_o we_o the_o lesser_a but_o the_o other_o great_a shall_v not_o be_v reveal_v till_o the_o time_n come_v of_o the_o full_a knowledge_n
