stupendious Cures upon Diseases of long standing occasioned from great and intricate Obstructions in plethorick Bodies weakened and infeebled in Body and Mind and out of all hope in themselves and after they have passed long and various courses in Physick and these not one or two as by chance but upon very ●any and failing none where Gods decree did not prohibit and indeed such En●●miums were due to one only Medici●e of Paracelsus and that which no doubt was far short of other of his Arcana's as indeed we are able to affirm the like having Experience of the very same and this Encomium given by a person who set himself to throw as much dirt as he could upon his Master yet his desert extorted this Commendation from him that his little Pills he administred as a Divine Medicine he scrupled not to affirm that by that Medicine he could put life into those that were as good as dead and that while this Servant was with him he made good in some Experiments What then if this be so may be said not only of the same but many far more excellent than that and which have not only a power to revive but also to enter into the inmost parts of Mans Body and there in a friendly ●anner appease the inraged Archeus or innate Spirit of a tenuate incide Cut dissolves all tarterous and Coagulated Filths opens stubborn and long Obstructions cleanses and purifies the Blood the Chariot of Life and Vital Spirits seperates between good and bad summons them from all quarters to appear at the general Randisvous and when fitted by preparing these alienated Humours or Torterous Filths call them what you please to cast them out by the appointed passage as forreign Guests not Homogenies to our Nature and consequently not fit to inmate themselves there by which means Obstructions are opened Nature unburned the Faculties set at liberty to perforn their respective Offices the Blood Circulated Nature revived strength restored the whole Body returned to its pristine vigour and in some Disease Cured so the Man repreved from the approaching Execution for a time from that more certain Sentence it is appointed for all men once to die and after death the Judgmenr and though you have before Medicines proper to these Diseases yet for the publick good we propound what we before promised Of those Medicines which performs the things mentioned mowing down the most stubborn and truculent Disease rooting out their Seeds that by good Diet and the due use of res non naturales before mentioned for that end that new and better fruit may grow in the room The first is our Pillulae Solares or our Solar Pills which are so called because they are of the

a little before Meals and chiefly for them that have hot dry Stomachs or are subject to Obstructions of the Stomach or Mesaraick Veins and of the Liver and Reins for it wonderfully refreshes a hot and dry Stomach but it is no way good to drink White-wine or Rhenish at Meals or soon after meals onely it may be allowed to them that are afflicted with much astrictness of the Stomach for being drunk too soon after Meats they disturb the Meats and too much hasten their passage from the Stomach before they be concocted and by that means they pass into the Bowels undigested whence it cometh to pass that the body doth greatly abound with flatuous Crudity White and Rhenish Wine are very pernicious for such as be Rheumatick and subject to fluxion and distillation of humours to the Lungs Breast Joynts or any other parts of the Body and for lean Constitutions and therefore let this serve for a Caution to such as be subject to the Gout or any Rheumatismes that in stead hereof they drink Milk or Water Claret-wine is in Temperature and Nature very neer to these but of an astringent faculty which is clearly discovered by the astringent savour thereof it greatly strengtheneth the Stomach breedeth good humours stirreth and quickeneth the Appetite quencheth Thirst it greatly helpeth Concoction exhilarateth the Heart it is very profitable for them of a hot Constitution that have hot stomachs and are young but it greatly offendeth a moist and cold Constitution that aboundeth with raw and crude humours and is subject to distillations from the head and this chiefly if it be taken immoderately This Wine is chiefly to be taken with meat for then it puts forth and proves profitable in the fore-recited properties and above all this Wine is most hurtfull in regard of the rheumatick Nature of it the most pernicious to Gouty and rheumatick persons But being with moderation taken at Meals it is for temperate bodyes being pure and quick Wine not much inferior to the Regal Wines of France for it rectifieth the Stomach and comforteth it it is acceptable to the heart and breedeth good blood it is deemed the best of all Wines for Cholerick Bodyes and for Phlegmatick the worst It is not good to drink this Wine between Meals but in the middle of the Meal take a draught or two and if you please you may dulcifie it with a little Sugar and this will make it the more acceptable to the Stomach and comfortable to the Heart and by observation of these you may expect a quickening of the spirits a pleasant Cheerfulness of mind there being a good Concoction of Meats consequently a healthfull state of Body That high and rich Nectar called by the Name of Sack which so richly abounds with that most excellent Vegetable Sulphur for which cause it is in high estimation with all those Northern parts of the World is deemed to be hot in the third degree and of thin parts and therefore it doth more vehemently and quickly heat the Body The over and unseasonable use of this Wine doth over-heat the Liver exsicccate the radical moysture inflame the blood and is hurtfull to bodyes of a hot and dry temperature but the moderate use to them to whom it is agreeable it helpeth the Stomach to digest furthereth the distribution of the Meats to all the parts of the body concocteth the crude and consumeth the Excremental humours and in summe it mightily strengtheneth all the powers and faculties of Body and Mind It is most sit for Old Age weak Stomachs cold Constitutions abounding with crude humours cold Countreys and cold and moyst seasons of the year it is chiefly to be drunken after meats of a gross substance and such as consist of an Excrementitious moisture as Pork-Flesh Fish c. And though there is a difference even among Sacks yet what is spoken of one may indifferently be applyed to all though some commend Sherry-sack as most profitable to the Stomach to further and help the Concoctions and confirm the Habit of the whole body and of all Wines they esteem this the best at meals for the Aged persons of a cold and phlegmatick Constitution but yet such as are of a hot lean and cholerick temper and Constitution must forbear it Canary Sack so called because it comes from the Canary Islands differeth from Sherry in Sweetness as also in Colour and Consistence it is less Penetrative and more Nutritive Canary is an excellent Wine to be taken at Meals for its pleasant taste refreshing odour and comforting the Stomach it is best for cold Constitutions old bodies and weakened by labour it must be ●autiously used for it is a Wine which if liberally taken it will quickly inflame and therefore warily to be used by hot and cholerick Bodies Malmsey is a Wine in Operation very hot and being sweet it nourisheth very much and therefore it is commended for old cold and weak and decayed Bodies but is very hurtfull f●r such as be hot because it is very easily converted into Choler it is judged by some to kil● Worms by a certain hidden Property however it is a very convenient thing to give any Medicine for the killing of Worms as that by whose sweetness the Worms will be induced t● prey upon the Remedy Mu●kadel is very much like Malmsey wherefore in defect of that this may be used it is als● an excellent Wine for all old cold bodyes b● such as are of a hot temperature must forbea● this Wine Bastard is in vertue not much unlike Muskadel and may be used instead of that thoug● there is the same Inferiority in this to Muskadel as in Muskadel to Malmsey and the ●s● of this is likewise hurtfull to hot and youn● bodies Alicant Raspy or Tent it is made of the Juic● of Mulberries c. it is of a gross Nature notwithstanding it is quickly concocted into blood and is therefore fit for lean and thin bodies whose humours are too fluxible For person● that are weak and wasted and consumed by sicknesses and that need much nourishment and that is easie of Concoction but for gros● bodies and such as are subject to Obstruction it will quickly prove nauseous and hurtfull Wine of Orleance is stronger than any other French Wine and in taste very pleasant it is in goodness scarcely inferiour to Muskadel it is hurtfull to such as have weak Brains hot Livers and such as are of a cholerick Constitution for it doth speedily over-heat the Liver and annoy the head but there is not a better Wine for cold and flegmatick Constitutions and those that have weak Stomachs for it comforts the Stomach helps the Concoction vivifies the Spirit because it contains a generous heat in it self and it also furthereth the distribution of the Meats and through the mediocrity of its substance procureth a good Nutrition to them that be of a hot and cholerick temperature and also to them that be young it is very hurtfull but very proprofitable
