Physitians or Chyrurgions near him which unnoted by him or his dearest Friends might perplex nullifie the operation of these Medicines Nevertheless by Degrees he gaind so much strength or rather so much courage as to resolve for London where with difficulty he arrived But his residence being near to a Physitian his friend and being then on the suddain Extream ill he fell into the general course of Physick which held a long time and had very various successes very much through a strange unchect liberty he took in Diet helping himself notwithstanding now and then with a large Bottle of Radex and at length got so much strength as to adventure to refresh himself in the Country But withal depending so much upon my Medicines that he caused to be sent immediately after him 7 pints of Vis vitae and 2 pints more before he came back and through mercy returned so well as to pursue his occasions and which hath not since failed him and seems still to have as high if not a more high Esteem of these Medicines and I believe he hath good cause for it or he would not as he since hath done commended their use to his best Friends in all their occasions And I conceive under God ascribes unto them very much of his preservation It being also very presumable his recovery had been far sooner and more perfect had he not been diverted but solely depended on their assistance 12.
