A16823	The pisse-prophet, or, Certaine pisse-pot lectures Wherein are newly discovered the old fallacies, deceit, and jugling of the pisse-pot science, used by all those (whether quacks and empiricks, or other methodicall physicians) who pretend knowledge of diseases, by the urine, in giving judgement of the same. By Tho. Brian, M.P. lately in the citie of London, and now in Colchester in Essex. Never heretofore published by any man in the English tongue.

catch_v her_o lover_n in_o a_o cleft_n stick_v for_o she_o have_v hear_v of_o such_o trick_n and_o some_o that_o have_v profess_v physic_n have_v teach_v that_o art_n and_o divers_a both_o man_n and_o

of_o that_o humour_n no_o i_o say_v come_v good_a woman_n who_o stink_v as_o much_o of_o goodness_n as_o a_o poult-cat_n of_o musk_n i_o have_v make_v you_o tarry_v but_o you_o shall_v not_o altogether_o lose_v your_o labour_n i_o pray_v follow_v i_o and_o so_o i_o conduct_v she_o into_o my_o parlour_n where_o i_o have_v now_o my_o man_n wait_v for_o i_o with_o a_o cup_n of_o ale_n with_o a_o nutbrown_a toss_v in_o it_o or_o else_o a_o cup_n of_o good_a english_a beer_n of_o sixteen_o at_o the_o least_o with_o nutmeg_n and_o sugar_n in_o it_o for_o my_o morning_n draught_n and_o sit_v

a_o cup_n and_o put_v in_o some_o more_o nutmeg_n and_o sugar_n and_o bid_v she_o to_o drink_v a_o hearty_a draught_n and_o when_o she_o have_v drink_v i_o bid_v my_o man_n fill_v i_o another_o cup_n that_o i_o may_v wash_v both_o my_o eye_n so_o that_o i_o may_v see_v the_o better_a to_o dispatch_v this_o woman_n quick_o and_o when_o i_o have_v drink_v that_o off_o i_o bid_v my_o man_n fill_v

twenty_o time_n wash_v in_o rose-water_n but_o now_o to_o return_v to_o the_o matter_n i_o have_v wash_v away_o all_o the_o ill_a quality_n of_o this_o woman_n nature_n with_o the_o cup_n of_o beer_n that_o i_o give_v she_o and_o wrought_v she_o to_o so_o good_a a_o temper_n with_o my_o love_a speech_n that_o i_o need_v not_o fear_n but_o that_o she_o will_v tell_v i_o any_o thing_n that_o i_o

no_o now_o to_o be_v see_v in_o this_o water_n because_o her_o body_n be_v all_o out_o of_o temper_n and_o her_o water_n trouble_v and_o discolour_a but_o yet_o i_o think_v she_o to_o be_v and_o

of_o her_o health_n and_o so_o she_o be_v satisfy_v for_o that_o matter_n and_o confess_v that_o she_o be_v with_o child_n indeed_o have_v thus_o satisfy_v she_o in_o all_o these_o thing_n tell_v she_o that_o it_o be_v a_o woman_n water_n in_o what_o manner_n she_o be_v sick_a what_o be_v her_o disease_n that_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o she_o be_v with_o child_n which_o prove_v true_a and_o that_o she_o will_v scarce_o recover_v which_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n whether_o she_o do_v or_o no_o i_o now_o begin_v to_o close_v with_o she_o and_o ask_v she_o who_o water_n it_o be_v but_o she_o will_v not_o tell_v i_o and_o commend_v she_o for_o it_o for_o she_o be_v forbid_v and_o therefore_o have_v vow_v the_o contrary_a and_o indeed_o she_o be_v send_v only_o to_o hear_v my_o

be_v nose_v of_o a_o patient_n and_o to_o have_v my_o skill_n call_v in_o question_n for_o if_o i_o can_v find_v the_o disease_n by_o the_o water_n they_o will_v soon_o conclude_v that_o i_o know_v

to_o some_o of_o her_o near_a friend_n how_o dangerous_o she_o be_v sick_a and_o that_o i_o will_v if_o she_o think_v good_a to_o make_v use_n of_o i_o use_v the_o best_a mean_n to_o recover_v she_o that_o art_n can_v lead_v i_o unto_o and_o now_o i_o bid_v she_o make_v all_o the_o haste_n that_o may_v be_v but_o yet_o before_o i_o let_v she_o go_v i_o thus_o bespeak_v she_o in_o faith_n nurse_n i_o commend_v thou_o that_o thou_o will_v do_v thy_o errand_n handsome_o and_o make_v a_o physician_n find_v the_o disease_n out_o of_o the_o water_n and_o not_o be_v gull_v to_o tell_v how_o the_o

such_o satisfaction_n as_o will_v content_v they_o that_o send_v thou_o lo_o therefore_o here_o be_v for_o thy_o pain_n because_o thou_o have_v put_v i_o to_o it_o so_o handsome_o and_o so_o i_o

and_o laugh_v at_o she_o and_o the_o devil_n at_o we_o both_o i_o laugh_v at_o she_o because_o i_o have_v cozen_v she_o and_o the_o devil_n that_o he_o have_v cozen_v we_o both_o by_o make_v she_o

the_o disease_n tell_v she_o that_o such_o and_o such_o mean_n ought_v sudden_o to_o be_v use_v and_o so_o send_v she_o away_o suppose_v therefore_o that_o she_o come_v but_o new_o in_o and_o be_v
