Obstructed and so hinder rather than farther her Restauration However knowing sufficiently the dulness and inefficacy of their own Medicines they must still be nibling at ours and yet revile them when they have answered their desires and if at any time they are too Keen for their Skill and Knowledge they are then most Damnable and presently to be Cursed with Bell Book and Candle and not one of them to be left in their Galenical Antidotaries I would they would turn them quite out or else acknowledge them as indeed they are the best Flowers in their Garden Let them not use ours and we will faithfully promise them never to make use of theirs Ours decay not by length of time theirs putrifie and corrupt even in a Years time Ours safely pleasantly and quickly Cure theirs do rather hinder than farther Nature in her own Operation and can only when Nature hath Cured her self rob her of the praise and glory of a Cure which she her self hath performed But I hope the time is now coming when Ingenuity shall flourish seeing many of those that not long since opposed this so noble a Science do now at last begin to appear its real Friends Defenders and Propagators and when declaredly such I shall wish them their utmost due with a continued remembrance of their Names unto succeeding Generations as the worthy Promoters of so publick and great a Good A POSCRIPT To the Ingenious and Physically Studious READER I Intend also how soon I cannot yet say to present unto the Ingenious Industrious and Knowledge-Seeking-English whose sullen Fate slender and mean Education affords them only the benefit of what is published in their own Mother-tongue a small but very plain and Methodical Treatise in English as the smaller Radii glimmering Beams or Aurora to a greater approaching Light teaching a Spagirical or Chymical preparation of Animals Vegetables Minerals and Metals to a Physical use viz. the Separation of their Quintessential Medicinal Fix'd and Volatile parts the Purification Reunition or Conjunction and Coction of the said parts into most noble efficacious and powerful Medicines Arcanaes and Physical Elixirs and this in a higher or lower degree according to the Subtile Genius Industry and Prudence of the Artist Most useful and beneficial for the Preservation of the present and Restauration or Recovery of the decayed or lost Health of Man The improvement and farther consideration may haply prove a Gate to other Secrets Yet if any One in the mean time either diligently Studious of Physick or otherways curious in the search of the secrets of Nature and Art be desirous to be instructed in the Grounds of Chymistry or the Spagirick Art and shall in a reasonable and modest way request my instruction and assistance in it I do hereby promise him a faithful Manuduction and Introduction and that by plain Demonstration and Practice to the true and full grounds intent and scope of Chymistry and this either as to Physical preparations or other Nature-searching delightful and pleasant Operations Chymistry being the most noble and transcendent of Arts and by which only and not otherways and this in a more sublime or mean degree according to the Acute Ingeny Patience Prudence and Neatness of the Operator whether in Medicinal preparations or other choice Arcanaes may something of excellency be expected and produced and perhaps the wished perfection utmost aim and end of our desires at last be obtained My earnest desire of advancing improving and promoting more for a general Good than my own private Benefit this so noble a Science and opening a Gate for entrance into the infinite Treasures of Nature both for Health and other Happiness closely shut up and contained in the Creature is the chief inducement to this Additional proffer and the publick Notice of E.

they forsooth do acknowledg There is such an alteration in the State of Diseases as I contend for but they withall tell men that they knew so before and that I needed not have taken so much pains to convince them of it But if they did know so the more They for concealing it and why then do they not alter the State of Medicine exclude the Old unprofitable Remedies and introduce new ones more effectual Agreeable to such Alteration of Maladies Why is it that the Bead-row of Antiquated Remedies invented by Forein Authors and Calculated for other kind of Climates is still held forth as sufficient under the name of Pharmacopeia seeing as I hope shortly to make appear there is not one Medicine in the whole Book that will reach any one radicated or deplorable Distemper But they say That what ever is wanting there in Vertue of Medicine they can supplie in the use of them by strength of Wit which is that they call Method Oh here is the Diana the great Goddess Method or the Round of the Mill-horse which every one can run that hath bought Sennertus or Riverius in English and that is the Reason why other Folk spoil their Trade much more than the Chymists do and for thirty or forty shillings worth of Books soon learn to become as compleat Methodists as themselves Whereas you know Sir that Medicines should alter as Disease alter and should be so made as to command Method and when a Noble Medicine is once found it admits in the usage no Method but what is peculiar to it self and results out of its own Natural power and propriety and thereby inables him that is acquainted with its energie to puzzle and fool him that sails only by the Card and Compass of Books And if Men will not believe words those few Medicines which you mean to publish and more which you and I know of and others of our laborious Associates will abundantly convince them if they please to observe the admirable Operations and effects in little time and small Quantities They say also after they have abused the Apothecaries in publick when they lately endeavored to get a power to inslave them that I chalk out the way to the undoing of their Trade whereas the Truth is I only point out the way they must go to preserve their Trade for I know none of our Society that ever thought of disobliging them but when we have settled our publick place or College with a grand Laboratory suitable to so worthy an Undertaking we purpose God willing to turn the stream of Practice out of the Galenick Channel and furnish the Apothecaries with such Preparations at reasonable rates upon the credit of our Society as may inable us to correspond with that ingenious Company by sending our Bills to them and employing them with a fuller Trade more for the Reputation of the Profession of Physick and of themselves as such of them who will loosen their dependence upon Formalists and come over to us in compliance shall quickly find in the mean while 't is but reason they should practise with their own Medicines seeing the Road and Method of using them is open and plain to every one that can read and more Trust is to be given to the Skill that comes by observation in the present time than by following the Authors of other times and Countries who could not possibly leave directions in Books to fit the present State of Men and Diseases Consider that deplorable disease the Lues Venerea of what Value are all the Rules and Remedies of writers He that in this Age when the Disease is quite another thing than it was twenty or thirty years ago shall attempt the Cure of it with the old Messes or the common Mineral Preparations will be extreamly mistaken and that is the reason of so many Semi-Cures and Relapses What signifie all the tedious Decoctions of Guajac Sarsa c. which you never used and I have long since given over A few of your Solar Pills no bigger than Pepper-corns shall effect far more than Firkins of Diet-Drink to say nothing of other high Arcanaes which no wit can reach that hath not your Skil and Industry in Operation with which I have seen dreadful Diseases Removed as it were by Inchantment The World hath no cause to suspect You or Me to be out of love with Learning and yet I say the common Learning that is in use for gaining Knowledge in Physick serves rather to puzzle and confound than inform a Student especially the single fangle Notions about Anatomy forasmuch as the Investigation of Causes and the Accommodating of Curations Secundùm Ductus Anatomicos and Secundùm Artem have Slain their ten Thousands and will do more if Matters be not amended by Men of other Principles and who labour night and day another way to apprehend the manner of Nature's Operations with the various Phaenomena of Diseases in Man's Body and how Medicines may be made of so comprehensive a Power as to answer all particulars and supply all the defects of Ratiocination or Opinion which is generally the meer product of Phant'sie 'T is not fit my Friend I should quite tire you I shall only add that what I have Written in my Medela I have no Cause to repent of Habent sua fata Libelli Books have their Fates and mine hath had the Luck so great is the force of Truth to find a general acceptation in the Land especially among the Nobler and the Learneder part from many of which I have received Thanks yea and among all Physicians that are not of the Interessed Faction and yet even some of them have been so Ingenious as to confess I have in many things done well only they say I should not have published so much in English But I would ask them Why am I faulted for this Did not the Old reputed Princes of the Profession write all they wrote in their own Country-Languages as Hippocrates and Galen in Greek the Arabian Avicen and his Fellows in Arabick therefore if I have espied faults in the common Doctrines and Practice why should not our Country-men be made acquainted with them seeing they are the Persons that are concerned and most likely to promote that which the splendid Faction oppose Who would fain hold up the old Mystery not the Art but the Craft of Physick One would wonder after all the reason that hath been given against the frequent spilling of precious Blood by Phlebotomie in our Climate some Men should still have the madness to deal with us as if we were in France Italy or Spain For God's sake Sir do you take them a little to task for I am weary and sick of them and I every day see the people begin to be so too Their main shelter now is in some few noble Houses for the generality decline them If you would once more take Pen in hand I dare say you would be able to give them a final
