they_o which_o have_v this_o universal_a medicine_n and_o do_v hide_v it_o have_v no_o mercy_n like_o christian_n when_o they_o see_v so_o many_o man_n torment_v and_o will_v not_o help_v they_o nor_o be_v good_a thing_n to_o be_v conceal_v because_o they_o be_v abuse_v i_o doubt_v whether_o a_o christian_a physician_n can_v with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n conceal_v a_o medicine_n that_o can_v cure_v great_a disease_n and_o if_o he_o do_v he_o do_v not_o like_o a_o christian_n that_o must_v love_v his_o neighbour_n as_o himself_o they_o agree_v not_o among_o themselves_o in_o determinate_v this_o medicine_n for_o many_o take_v it_o for_o the_o philosophers-stone_n yet_o scheunaman_n make_v the_o leaf_n of_o black_a hellebore_n almost_o equal_a to_o the_o philosophers-stone_n and_o say_v that_o they_o be_v bring_v into_o a_o balsam_n make_v a_o man_n live_v a_o second_o age_n and_o do_v purge_v beyond_o all_o there_o be_v three_o opinion_n of_o the_o universal_a medicine_n the_o first_o be_v of_o they_o that_o think_v that_o it_o cure_v all_o disease_n not_o primary_o but_o secondary_o by_o strengthen_v nature_n wonderful_o for_o according_a to_o hypocrates_n nature_n be_v the_o physician_n she_o concoct_v separate_v void_v and_o take_v away_o all_o faintness_n and_o here_o the_o chemist_n extol_v their_o quintessence_n and_o balsam_n and_o their_o incomparable_a vital_a sulphur_n they_o call_v the_o secret_a flower_n the_o sun_n and_o the_o heaven_n they_o say_v their_o quintessence_n and_o aetherial_a spirit_n diffuse_v through_o all_o natural_a thing_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o vigour_n and_o action_n in_o animal_n it_o give_v soul_n in_o vegetable_n it_o give_v growth_n and_o vegetation_n in_o mineral_n and_o metal_n it_o do_v according_a to_o they_o in_o man_n it_o make_v concoction_n and_o crisis_n and_o then_o triumph_v over_o his_o conquer_a enemy_n they_o say_v this_o spirit_n and_o quincessence_n and_o balsomick_a medicine_n come_v from_o the_o great_a world_n to_o the_o less_o that_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n be_v help_v by_o external_a aid_n that_o be_v by_o this_o strengthener_n may_v oppose_v disease_n more_o valiant_o and_o either_o change_n what_o be_v foul_a in_o the_o body_n to_o a_o natural_a state_n and_o expel_v it_o some_o say_v this_o be_v to_o be_v do_v by_o chemistry_n so_o that_o it_o may_v easy_o agree_v and_o be_v unite_v to_o our_o natural_a heat_n and_o radical_a moisture_n and_o spirit_n and_o increase_v it_o and_o raise_v it_o to_o the_o height_n of_o purity_n and_o though_o this_o quintessence_n be_v in_o all_o thing_n yet_o it_o be_v more_o in_o some_o then_o in_o other_o and_o the_o universal_a medicine_n be_v to_o be_v make_v of_o that_o in_o which_o this_o

what_o they_o say_v touch_v the_o strength_n of_o inbred_a spirit_n the_o galenist_n teach_v this_o only_o let_v we_o have_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v the_o principle_n agent_n &_o this_o inbred_a

in_o my_o institution_n namely_o to_o be_v something_o like_a to_o the_o element_n of_o the_o heaven_n a_o spirit_n such_o as_o be_v in_o wine_n by_o which_o it_o so_o strengthen_v the_o body_n and_o

which_o be_v artificial_o prepare_v have_v great_a power_n to_o strengthen_v and_o therefore_o may_v be_v call_v a_o universal_a medicine_n yet_o they_o prove_v not_o that_o it_o can_v cure_v all_o disease_n without_o purger_n alterer_n and_o opener_n and_o the_o like_a and_o it_o can_v be_v that_o nature_n shall_v purge_v water_n in_o a_o dropsy_n with_o medicine_n that_o move_v the_o belly_n or_o discuss_v the_o nodes_fw-la in_o the_o gout_n or_o the_o stone_n without_o help_n of_o medicine_n and_o though_o all_o disease_n shall_v come_v from_o the_o hurt_n of_o the_o vital_a spirit_n yet_o the_o cause_n of_o that_o hurt_n may_v be_v manifold_a therefore_o to_o restore_v the_o spirit_n divers_a medicine_n must_v be_v give_v according_a to_o the_o variety_n of_o cause_n that_o
