Cadiz the Haven of St. Mary and St. Luke and sailed thence all along the River Betis to Sevill where being in strangers apparel they search for a convenient Lodging in which Placidus abode while the intelligent Veteli went abroad informing himself the best way he could about the state of Affairs in Fadrique's House which he understood exactly and returned to Placidus signifying how indulgent dying Fadrique was towards his insolent Nephews Charles and Bernard as also that Agnes look't as brisk as ever In a word he answered the most particular questions so fully that Placidus's Grief was in a great measure asswaged The learned Viteli gave such proof of his knowledge in Physick by sundry wonderful Experiments that in an instant his Name spread abroad Agnes therefore hearing of such an expert Physitian thought it her near concernment and duty to consult with him concerning the nature of Fadrique's disease which was concluded mortal by all other Physitians in Sevill Viteli having visited the old man discerned Nature shrinking and Death approaching Nevertheless to encourage the Lady he confidently affirmed in the presence of many Learned and Judicious men that his Disease was not mortal which assertion he confirmed with reasons and arguments founded upon the most solid and genuine Philosophy so that no place was left for cavils all Physitians there present being perswaded of the truth of his Discourse Which comforted Agnes so much that with great intimacy in private Conferences she searched into Viteli's sentiments in this affair The expert Physitian failed not at such a time to make mention of Placidus whose valiant exploits he praised with such Eloquence and admiration that the Ladies pristine love revived and prompted her to enquire very concernedly where he liv'd and whether there was any truth in the noise of his Death The smart Viteli by such questions perceiving much affection to center in the Ladies breast towards Placidus answered her thus Madam I am obliged to declare the truth and cannot sufficiently declare what is true concerning his lasting renown abroad nor how constant and Christian his love has been to you otherwaies the excessive grief of his spirit had undoubtedly rendred him desperate and accessary to his own death The rumour of his Death implied that his love might be termed dead because without the hope of enjoying its object God knows said Agnes how much I desired to be married to him but Fortune has so ordered that I should be the Wife of Fadrique though much against my inclinations Yea I must add seeing this Subject is pleasant that the love of Placidus is of great force with me to this hour It is true I am obliged every way to bear a suitable respect to Fadrique who has continued all along a kind Husband never believing the odd aspersions with which his insolent Nephews Charles and Bernard endeavoured to brand me I know said Viteli that many Waters cannot quench Love but it must break forth after some manner or other And methinks the Divine Providence has conducted me hither in a good season therefore seeing that I am perswaded that according to the course of nature Fadrique cannot live fifteen daies Madam if you be pleased I shall in the mean time contrive and carry on matters so dextrously that by your Husbands last Will and without the lest opposition you may enjoy your beloved Placidus instead of his Father I have heard Fadrique replied the Lady at sundry times in a most pathetical and passionate manner expressing sorrow and grief for the Death of his great and real friend Placidus as he called him For said he if my Son were alive I would dispose of my substance to him and you ordering withal your co-habitation under the notion of Husband and Wife But supposing Placidus be yet alive our union will meet with great opposition from Fadrique's insolent Nephews Nay Madam said he leave that to me for I am willing to lose the reputation of a Gentleman yea and life it self if I do not carry on the matter so wittily that in great peace without the least shadow of fear or danger you shall enjoy Placidus for your loving Husband Thus Agnes went to her Closet with great Joy. Placidus could not easily be perswaded of the possibility of the matter yet hi companions pregnant wit and knowledge added some confidence to him for Viteli had undertaken not only to remove Fadrique's present Distemper but also to renew his Youth and strength chiefly that by such means a sophism indeed Placidus might attain to the enjoyment of his longed for Agnes For which cause said the ingenious Viteli in the presence of learned Physitians you shall in a very short time perceive Fadrique brisk and vigorous with Teeth Hair and Colour sutable to the age of thirty or forty years Those learned men laughed him to scorn and the Lady doubted of the matter greatly But to put an end to doubting and mocking he spake to the Physitians in the presence of Agnes Charles and Bernard after this manner I must confess the opposition of such Judicious men might terrifie Galen Hyppocrates and Esculapius of whom it 's reported That he raised himself from the Dead How much then may a Novice such as I am tremble when I consider that I have undertaken in your presence to demonstrate how the radical moisture may be restored insomuch that decrepit old Age shall be constrained to Cloath it self with the Colour Vigour and other qualities of brisk Youth Nevertheless the strength which attends truth reduced to practice revives my fainting Spirits so that with confidence I affirm the certainty as well as the possibility of my demonstration which I shall endeavour to evince in the Spanish Tongue though with the greater difficulty for the satisfaction of Agnes Charles and Bernard the Parties mostly concerned Gentlemen You know very well Experience Authority and Reason are the surest foundations by which any truth can be supported From all which my Proposition shall be made evident The Learned Arnaldus Villa Nova Tully Paracelsus Cardanus and others whom we need not mention favour us in this point as also the Alchymists Arbor vitae so that Authorities abound with us In the next place Blaicus de Taranto affirms that in Saguntum in the Kingdom of Valentia there was a Nunn of sixty years whose age was renewed having Teeth Hair Colour and Vigour as if she had been but thirty years old And Antonius Torquemada in his Dialogues gives us an account of an Old Man who was restored to strength being one hundred years old after which wonderful change he lived fifty years From which Author and common Tradition we hear of such an instance in Toledo All learned men know that passage related by Ferdinandus de Castaneda lib. 8. And by Petrus Malfeus lib. 3. Hist Ind. how that a Noble Man of India lived Three hundred and forty years in which time his Age was renewed thrice If we consult reason we shall find her
