whether_o there_o may_v be_v a_o universal_a medicine_n or_o not_o mr._n bacon_n declare_v thus_o according_a to_o my_o hypothesis_n i_o conceive_v there_o may_v be_v for_o if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o formal_a cause_n of_o disease_n and_o also_o to_o prove_v it_o so_o because_o in_o woman_n cause_n for_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o same_o medicine_n which_o prevent_v miscrrriage_n the_o same_o to_o turn_v the_o child_n in_o the_o mother_n womb_n and_o to_o bring_v it_o away_o and_o true_o say_v he_o i_o have_v a_o medicine_n of_o my_o own_o may_v well_o be_v call_v panaceas_fw-la and_o beside_o it_o may_v well_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o polyaceas_fw-la i_o must_v answer_v mr._n bacon_n plain_o that_o he_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o body_n of_o man_n or_o physic_n i_o can_v compare_v he_o to_o any_o thing_n but_o that_o great_a mahomet_n who_o delude_v the_o people_n by_o a_o pigeon_n which_o he_o bring_v up_o and_o train_v to_o take_v pease_n out_o of_o his_o ear_n and_o so_o make_v the_o people_n believe_v that_o it_o be_v a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n which_o inform_v he_o of_o all_o transaction_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v he_o be_v worship_v as_o a_o god_n now_o it_o be_v convenient_a to_o give_v some_o reason_n to_o convince_v the_o world_n that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o medicine_n as_o a_o panaceas_fw-la or_o universal_a medicine_n for_o almost_o all_o disease_n first_o some_o slender_a argument_n viz._n be_v all_o man_n child_n of_o one_o substance_n and_o constitution_n or_o can_v one_o pair_n of_o shoe_n serve_v one_o pair_n of_o foot_n and_o also_o of_o all_o the_o multitude_n of_o people_n in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o each_o of_o they_o discernible_a one_o from_o another_o sometime_o you_o may_v see_v two_o will_v resemble_v one_o the_o other_o at_o first_o sight_n but_o bring_v they_o together_o and_o discern_v they_o both_o with_o a_o strict_a eye_n and_o you_o shall_v soon_o perceive_v a_o great_a alteration_n but_o some_o may_v say_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o universal_a medicine_n in_o case_n of_o a_o universal_a distemper_n as_o pestilence_n smallpox_n fever_n etc._n etc._n which_o general_o happen_v in_o city_n town_n and_o country_n no_o there_o can_v be_v any_o universal_a medicinal_a rule_n for_o one_o particular_a person_n for_o it_o be_v well_o and_o often_o observe_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o plague_n some_o be_v take_v with_o a_o giddiness_n in_o the_o head_n some_o a_o pain_n in_o the_o side_n some_o no_o pain_n at_o all_o before_o they_o fall_v down_o dead_a some_o person_n have_v the_o sore_o break_v out_o in_o one_o place_n some_o in_o another_o and_o so_o in_o all_o other_o general_a disease_n which_o will_v be_v tedious_a here_o to_o nominate_v which_o may_v tend_v all_o to_o one_o distemper_n the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v so_o i_o will_v give_v you_o elsewhere_o also_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o four_o complexion_n do_v not_o agree_v one_o with_o the_o other_o for_o what_o be_v good_a to_o cure_v the_o sanguine_a be_v prejudicial_a to_o the_o melancholy_n experience_n tell_v i_o that_o a_o small_a portion_n will_v purge_v the_o sanguine_a man_n but_o a_o double_a portion_n will_v hardly_o purge_v the_o melancholy_a man_n because_o his_o nerve_n be_v very_o close_o i_o be_o certain_a and_o do_v very_o well_o know_v that_o many_o lose_v their_o life_n by_o the_o delusion_n of_o such_o new_a fellow_n and_o pretender_n to_o a_o universal_a medicine_n some_o have_v a_o good_a receipt_n for_o the_o pox_n some_o have_v a_o good_a receipt_n for_o a_o fever_n some_o have_v a_o good_a receipt_n for_o the_o scurvy_a some_o will_v say_v they_o have_v it_o from_o a_o very_a learned_a person_n and_o that_o they_o keep_v it_o not_o as_o it_o be_v as_o a_o rare_a jewel_n i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v good_a to_o its_o kind_n but_o it_o may_v want_v a_o true_a application_n i_o have_v experience_n that_o many_o die_v with_o the_o run_v of_o the_o reins_o and_o pox_n because_o they_o put_v their_o life_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o such_o man_n that_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o their_o body_n for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v by_o woeful_a experience_n that_o these_o distemper_n break_v out_o several_a way_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n for_o in_o some_o it_o remain_v in_o the_o secret_a place_n in_o some_o person_n in_o the_o head_n and_o in_o other_o some_o in_o the_o leg_n and_o shinbone_n this_o one_o argument_n shall_v be_v enough_o to_o convince_v the_o ignorant_a viz._n that_o several_a nature_n be_v mix_v together_o shall_v make_v so_o great_a a_o war_n and_o disturbance_n in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n some_o seed_n be_v very_o hot_a and_o some_o very_a cold_a and_o by_o consequence_n your_o own_o reason_n will_v tell_v you_o that_o what_o be_v good_a for_o one_o body_n be_v sometime_o prejudicial_a to_o another_o there_o may_v be_v a_o universal_a and_o nutrimental_a assistance_n
