on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o i_o consider_v the_o obscure_a origine_fw-la of_o most_o distemper_n i_o be_o quite_o out_o of_o humour_n with_o the_o practice_n of_o physic_n i_o may_v but_o too_o easy_o mistake_v that_o without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o which_o i_o can_v cure_v my_o patient_n the_o true_a cause_n of_o his_o disease_n yea_o i_o wonder_v how_o any_o man_n dare_v venture_v to_o

that_o make_v my_o first_o proposition_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o section_n that_o there_o be_v no_o small_a difficulty_n to_o become_v a_o good_a physician_n yet_o on_o the_o other_o part_n one_o will_v think_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o easy_a because_o of_o the_o great_a number_n of_o physician_n to_o be_v meet_v with_o every_o where_o who_o we_o know_v in_o all_o other_o

a_o shoemaker_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o unlearned_a tribe_n practice_n physic_n as_o able_a and_o famous_a doctor_n i_o confess_v if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o require_v to_o be_v a_o

yea_o i_o maintain_v it_o to_o be_v no_o paradox_n to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n may_v comprehend_v perfect_o the_o whole_a materia_fw-la medica_fw-la and_o a_o hundred_o good_a remedy_n against_o every_o particular_a distemper_n and_o yet_o prove_v a_o very_a insignificant_a and_o ignorant_a physician_n too_o because_o the_o chief_a secret_n of_o physic_n consist_v not_o in_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o remedy_n but_o in_o the_o due_a application_n thereof_o with_o regard_n to_o time_n place_n the_o temper_n of_o the_o patient_n and_o other_o circumstance_n who_o understand_v this_o and_o

universal_a remedy_n against_o all_o sort_n of_o distemper_n i_o shall_v not_o here_o examine_v but_o sure_o i_o be_o that_o opium_n perhaps_o for_o diminish_v of_o pain_n except_v there_o be_v no_o

of_o those_o that_o handle_v they_o i_o be_o then_o sensible_a that_o several_a be_v quite_o mistake_v when_o they_o complain_v that_o such_o a_o remedy_n do_v wrong_v their_o body_n or_o increase_v their_o distemper_n whereas_o the_o physician_n only_o be_v to_o be_v blame_v who_o though_o he_o prescribe_v a_o thing_n in_o itself_o very_o good_a neither_o understand_v the_o critical_a minute_n it_o be_v to_o be_v give_v in_o nor_o his_o patient_n constitution_n nor_o other_o circumstance_n which_o we_o must_v needs_o take_v notice_n of_o else_o we_o may_v prescribe_v the_o best_a remedy_n to_o no_o purpose_n a_o physician_n wit_n then_o lie_v not_o in_o frame_v modish_a receipt_n and_o prescribe_v a_o numberless_a number_n of_o remedy_n whether_o chemical_a or_o galenical_a but_o in_o

the_o strength_n of_o the_o patient_n and_o other_o circumstance_n i_o look_v therefore_o upon_o such_o as_o sell_v secret_n against_o all_o sort_n of_o distemper_n to_o be_v mere_a cheat_n because_o
