inquiry_n into_o the_o general_n catalogue_n of_o disease_n show_v the_o error_n and_o contradiction_n of_o that_o establishment_n with_o a_o new_a scheme_n represent_v more_o true_o and_o essential_o the_o various_a disease_a state_n of_o humane_a nature_n by_o e._n m._n med._n d._n in_o the_o last_o sheet_n practice_n of_o physic_n due_o regulate_v have_v there_o show_v the_o safety_n and_o

not_o only_o secure_v the_o art_n from_o invasion_n by_o alien_n and_o patient_n from_o casualty_n but_o also_o enrich_v the_o professor_n with_o such_o a_o stock_n of_o most_o requisite_a knowledge_n in_o pharmaceutic_a preparation_n as_o enable_v they_o to_o design_n and_o provide_v the_o most_o hopeful_a cure_v medicine_n that_o art_n and_o experience_n can_v acquire_v also_o i_o there_o set_v forth_o the_o vanity_n and_o hazard_n attend_v the_o genteel_a new_a mode_n of_o prescribe_v to_o the_o shop_n a_o late_a invention_n this_o practice_n appear_v ignorant_a and_o delinquent_a in_o

of_o practice_n and_o as_o the_o basis_n thereof_o i_o shall_v first_o examine_v the_o catalogue_n of_o disease_n appear_v to_o i_o overgrow_v and_o out_o of_o due_a form_n it_o be_v worth_a remark_v from_o whence_o or_o how_o this_o register_n of_o disease_n do_v increase_v so_o great_o when_o as_o their_o number_n much_o better_a and_o true_a may_v have_v be_v cast_v up_o with_o few_o figure_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o physic_n more_o easy_a and_o intelligible_a for_o the_o number_n of_o disease_n unnecessary_o multiply_v and_o false_o denominate_v must_v needs_o produce_v diversity_n of_o ill_a method_n and_o great_a variety_n of_o injurious_a medicine_n which_o render_v this_o art_n so_o perplex_v and_o difficult_a as_o scarce_o to_o be_v comprehend_v by_o humane_a understanding_n and_o the_o attempt_n of_o heal_v so_o often_o frustraneous_a for_o this_o great_a list_n of_o disease_n be_v hundred_o must_v require_v a_o vast_a number_n of_o medicine_n thousand_o to_o answer_v the_o practice_n thereof_o as_o you_o manage_v the_o matter_n for_o indication_n be_v various_a and_o different_a in_o every_o sick_a man_n case_n therefore_o all_o of_o they_o you_o say_v require_v different_a medicine_n adapt_v to_o those_o case_n by_o appropriate_a new_a mixture_n thus_o the_o number_n of_o medicine_n be_v become_v numberless_a and_o the_o practice_n of_o physic_n incomprehensible_a and_o no_o man_n be_v able_a to_o be_v master_n of_o this_o art_n in_o your_o way_n if_o he_o be_v to_o live_v a_o 1000_o year_n but_o must_v always_o be_v devise_v guess_v

disease_n must_v needs_o be_v unnecessary_o and_o false_o multiply_v when_o symptom_n cause_n and_o product_n bear_v the_o name_n of_o disease_n which_o ought_v otherwise_o to_o be_v distinguish_v by_o their_o proper_a name_n then_o failure_n in_o cure_v may_v reasonable_o be_v expect_v when_o the_o physician_n aim_v at_o the_o wrong_a mark_n not_o right_o discern_v one_o from_o the_o other_o but_o if_o disease_n be_v reduce_v to_o their_o true_a number_n in_o scheme_n they_o will_v soon_o be_v find_v out_o in_o practice_n and_o their_o cure_n more_o safe_o and_o frequent_o perform_v but_o
