but_o to_o my_o no_o small_a grief_n i_o have_v hear_v some_o physician_n of_o no_o ordinary_a reputation_n positive_o declare_v that_o authority_n and_o not_o reason_n be_v what_o they_o depend_v upon_o of_o these_o man_n i_o have_v little_a hope_n but_o since_o they_o will_v hearken_v to_o my_o reason_n let_v they_o but_o inquire_v into_o the_o success_n of_o my_o practice_n and_o if_o they_o

their_o scepticism_n from_o one_o generation_n of_o physician_n to_o another_o it_o have_v constant_o be_v hand_v down_o that_o the_o gout_n be_v a_o distemper_n not_o to_o be_v cure_v and_o in_o spite_n of_o all_o the_o noise_n that_o the_o last_o age_n have_v make_v about_o experimental_a philosophy_n no_o man_n ever_o go_v out_o of_o the_o common_a road_n to_o try_v whether_o this_o position_n be_v true_a or_o false_a but_o now_o it_o do_v evident_o appear_v that_o the_o gout_n be_v not_o such_o a_o fury_n but_o that_o it_o may_v with_o ease_n be_v overcome_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o proper_a and_o powerful_a acid_n the_o truth_n of_o which_o there_o be_v scarce_o any_o part_n of_o england_n but_o there_o be_v one_o or_o other_o that_o can_v experimental_o attest_v now_o if_o it_o do_v evident_o appear_v that_o my_o predecessor_n have_v be_v so_o notorious_o ignorant_a as_o to_o the_o cause_n and_o cure_n of_o so_o common_a a_o distemper_n it_o be_v not_o unreasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o they_o have_v be_v so_o in_o other_o case_n nay_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a they_o have_v be_v so_o and_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o honest_a gentleman_n of_o the_o faculty_n who_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o acknowledge_v it_o and_o that_o not_o only_o in_o word_n but_o by_o the_o alteration_n of_o their_o method_n of_o practice_n though_o there_o be_v another_o sort_n who_o of_o late_o have_v with_o good_a success_n make_v use_v of_o acid_n plentiful_o and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n have_v give_v i_o all_o manner_n of_o opprobrious_a language_n but_o i_o thank_v god_n i_o be_o out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o their_o malice_n and_o though_o they_o persist_v in_o their_o ingratitude_n yet_o i_o shall_v continue_v my_o endeavour_n to_o serve_v they_o to_o the_o utmost_a of_o my_o power_n i_o have_v the_o same_o just_a apology_n to_o make_v at_o this_o time_n as_o former_o viz._n that_o be_v in_o a_o continual_a hurry_n of_o business_n i_o have_v not_o
