To much ennobled Wingfeild my Magnific  
Moecena's, and The Worthies who design  
Stanfordian Celebrates of Meets, munifique  
Accommodates to animate th'ensign  
Of England's Patron great, for royal Standard  
To th'Rendezvous of their endeared Regard;  
CAn it be conceived (Honourable and gentile Spirits of ingenuous magnificence) that the yet continued Fame that the first British Bowers for the Muses were built upon the banks of Welland, sprung merely from the bold Fiction of a Phanatique idle Brain? Must it be admitted that the bright Pillar of such a flame could with so long-lasting durance towre-up from an empty Furnace, that never was fraught with the foizon, nor ever felt the fervour of substantial fuel? Shall mere conjecture make slight the authority of yet extant Records (Chronique writ and Aulique foundation) contesting that Apollo's Daughters honoured Stanfordian Cells with their Mayden-immurage and first residence in this Isle, long before the Northern Academiques (fall'n by discision from the Southern, and flitting from the Occidental to the Oriental Ford) seconded their settling here, in their endeared Reflex to the former? Howsoever, whether the first foundation were dissolved through Malingene or no, Towns, Honours, and Times, we see, have their Tides, Turns and Periods: the Muses by Regal] writ commanded to be banned and remanded to their forsaken Ford, this their dear Delight, thus deprived of their Cordial Music, and after demolished by Mavors (maugre Castle and begirting Wall) could never yet lift-up her obrute head from under the heavy rubbish of ruinated depressure, threatening her with obscuring poverty to inter Ancient Renown in eternal oblivion. Such yet is the accommodation of the place, both for action and contemplation, as may well induce present times and posterity to approve of the attests of Antiquity, touching the affections of the Camaenae caught with the amenity of the site of this Town, within whose confines Six Covents of Monastiques, for the singular salubrity of the Soil, Water, and Air, chose their Cells of commorance. Yea Nature herself, having moulded this Platform for ends of more eminence, than yet are seen to succeed her ordinance, breathes forth incessant close murmurings against the injurious neglect of inconsiderate or slow-footed Fate, that this Centre to so sweet a Country (stellified with so many magnific Edifices and Towrie Structures) so accommodate for Navigation (of Import and Export) and affluence of concourse, should not be honoured with the right of a Portable River for Mart, and of an Act for Shire-Towne to competent extents, and to encompass Rotell. For matter of Exercise and pleasurable Recreations, and of Chase and Wing, in such sweet mixed Earth's, interlaced with Brooks and fordible Rivers, Heath, Forrest, Light Tilths, large Champain variegated with cool shades of some scattered Woods and gentle-rising Hills of Easie Climb to Plains of no redious dimensions, leading over delightful Downs, shallow Dales & Valleys of extended descents secure from break-neck precipitation, it affords such variety of venerable venarie (date veniam verbis) to aggrate and satiate the eager quest of the most ranging appetite, that Horse, Hound and Hawk hardly find any place to parallel this Plot in the divers particulars of Race, Game and poursuit, viz, Hare, Deer, Fox, Otter; Partridge, Pheasant, Mallard, Heren and his Prey. The noble consideration and just prising of the premises, hath invited and stirred-up the magnific thoughts of many Honourable Personages to endear this Place, and by sundry ways and means to endeavour its readvance to Repute, suiting in some reasonable sort with its true deserving worth. Amongst which laudable purposes, I must ever magnify your munifique noble Aims of making Stanford the Rendezvous to the frequent confluence of good company, with your gracious reflect upon my great Disbursments (over and above the Magnificent Bounty of ever-honored Exeter) to gratify all friends with contentful entertain, and upon injurious exposure to unjust sufferings, in my welwilling to the weal of Town and Country, by deep wading in the Navigation of Welland, which is long since (through credulity of some superintendents, permitting unseasoned and improvident Agents, without control to abuse Noble Intentions, and bury bounteous contributes in ill-pondred pursuit of fond addle Plots) cast into a profound Sleep. A Sleep wherein deep wronged Welland is like to wallow and lie forlorn (howsoever bewailed) till some ingenuous Mercurial Hand, with the quickening Spirit of a Golden Elixir (more potent than the Care-charming Caduceus) discuss her soporiferous Spirits, rouse and raise-up her torpid head, and right her rude disheveled Locks, which shut forth the Sun beams of Beauty, Life, and Action, from giving bright splendour to deserved renown. Which good effect of wished C●re and Cure hoping propitious Heavens will in due time maturely produce with other helps of happy consequence, I haste to the Medique part of Panala, with intention of the Dietetique, if, by Dignostiques of the Relish of this, I conceive any hope of dispensing that Composition, to please the palate of such Worthies, my ever honoured Patrons: to whose noble magnificence, desiring the indulgent favour to be devoted a most zealous and obliged Servitor, I rest  
Your incessant true Observant William Folkingham.   

To the Reader.  
NOt much amiss surely is the Assertion which averrs The Optimun, Bene Valere; Secundum, formosumesse; Tertium, Divitias habere nulla fraude quaesitas: for Beauty without Health can neither have settled continuance of Abode, nor any true Being; nor a World of Wealth any right relish of Pleasure. And though the true extent of this comparative Tenet, in the superlative Praise of Health, must admit of confinage (Quoad summum Bonum) not to outreach the Ring or Limb of the lowest Orbs, but designing limitation evermore to bona mundana, Health doubtless, in due esteem of true worth, is a greater blessing than that Courted Beauty, or this Cordial wealth. For in regard, that Man being in Dures, under the heavy Arrest of fettring Sickness, cannot, in any due performance, tend unto or attend the end & office of his creation, for discharge either of the duty of his Calling unto the world, or of his Being unto the world's Creator, because the soul though of Celestial Offspring, whilst it is seated in this our Earthly Palace, (or Prison much the rather) necessarily Sympathizes with the body, and is so affected with the expense of precious spirits (Nature's best Treasures) and with pains, distractions, and other sufferings of the same, that her Animal Faculties are depraved, and miserable he deprived of the sweet solace and happy comfort of Heavenly Contemplation, and other both Divine offices, and humane Obligations, this in valuable jewel of Health becomes a Heavenly Blessing in due Estimate, far transcenaing the valuation of all terrene Trash, how treasurable soever, extending its due prisall beyond the dimensions of this Basis. But how takes this Tenet with the world? Sinks it into all our thoughts as it ought, and would if we did duly reflect them, as we should, upon the Divine Derivation? Surely it seldom or never sounds the Centre of that heart which holds the fruition of that self-Gem, or bosom friend, sound and well settled Health; For Bona carendo magis quam fruendo agnoscimus, who never felt the disgust of the bitter cup of Sickness cannot rightly relish the sweet taste of Sanitude. But contraria juxta se posita magis elucescunt, Contraries are best illustrated and distinguished by their contraries; and he, that after long durance or sharp Torture of a grievous Disease, happily recovers some reasonable measure of healthful state or relaxation from languor, well knows and will acknowledge with me, that Bona valetudo maximè Divinum longeque blandissimum est vitae condimentum, that sanitude is a Celestial most delicious condiment, and the best seasoning to relish the Nectarsweets of a happy natural Life. For non vivere sed valere vita est, Health is the Crown and Life of Life, and Life without Health is no Life, but even a lingering Death, where both Animal Powers and Corporal parts suffering, produce but lame and depraved Actions. For Sickness being an affect against Nature (ex Diametro Sanitati oppositus) seated in the Body by intruding seizure, and of itself primarily vitiating the Natural State and Constitution of Man's fabric, perturbs and perverts both corporal and Animal function, with disordered exorbitance confounding the consociable Oeconomie of the body, and with discordant larrings distuning the Organs and disturbing the happy Harmony of the Spirits, those sacred Opifices accommodating our Microcosm to all commendable actions. Now the most general Seminary of Sickness is superfluous Repletion, with which the strongest bodies are many times so overborne, that, like over ballasted Ships they suddenly fincke under the heavy load of abundance, but the Cachochymique corpse fraught and crazed with crudities, is evermore exposed to all the injuries of the Six Non-naturals, insomuch that every ingruent distemper of Heat, Cold, Diet, Labour, or other Error in th'use of any of them, plunges it into one Disease or other, even like a crazy Ship which is prone with every rough Sea to spring Lecke, and be dilacerated and split with every Tempest. And who sees not, that the full and foul feedings of this Nation (advanced through the vicious living of these times, which hales and draws down from Heaven a heavy curse upon all Creatures both Aliments and Elements) heap up many crude and impure superfluities which so vitiate the temperature of the continent vessels and deprave the harmonious frame of the whole Body, that daily-new broods of insolit and strange Diseases (translating Pliny's Trecenturiall Number or sorts of infirmities to infinite) assault man's Bulwark of Health, with insolent fresh batteries till they sack it with insulting Demolish? Knowing then, that Repletion is cured by Evacuation, and being by long & infallible experience well confirmed in good approbation of my Panala (for fit munition against such Machine's) whose Medique part is bred and brought forth by Infusion of a wel-dispensed Fund or Bag of specifique Ingredients in ordinary Ale (the Ancient drink of this Isle) than which there can hardly be excogitated or invented a more general worthy Medicine, that so cheap and choice, without any curiosity of Preparation or use by the Patient, doth Tuto sans hazard, & jucundè, nor grieving with ingrate relish of Physic, nor over-lading with too much, & sat scito, quia sat been, good speed is best speed, both conserve the salutary state of the body, and prevent and cure most morbid affects and diseases incident to the same (by cleansing and rectifying all parts and members thereof) whether derivable from indigested ballasting or otherwise contracted, I could not dispense with an absolute concealment of its most precious worth, but in some sort, (Quoad medicationis dispositionem, non medicaminis Compositionem) communicate to the world, the manifold benefits flowing from the familiar & fruitful operation thereof. But should I be so fond, to promulgate to the Ingredience and dispense of the Fund or Bag itself, I should too much derogate from the due esteem and true dignity of the Secret; and miscendo sacra prophanis, by lavish Publish much profane the sacred Mysteries of Apollo. Though Charity herself than should plead her best in approvement of the Discovery with Bonum quo communius, eo melius; yet would neither the Empiric, nor the Methodist let me pass without a Blow or a Brand; And worthily too, for Rerum minuit Maiestatem, qui divulgat Mystica, and with what deliver Passage or commendable posture could I fairly avoid the vile and odious venue of begetting Brood's of Mountebanks, and so breed the bane in stead of the Balm both to private and public Health, if Pandarizing to so dear a Progeny, I should unnaturally & basely prostitute so virtuous and worthy a Virgin, and so intimate and gentile a Handmaid of divine Physic to vulgar gaze, and the artless base abuse of every Horch-leach, Quacksalver and Sophistic? Pardon therefore my yet reserve of further Publication: I am not so ambitious to cast-bout to make this Magistral a Cast net to catch Shoales or promiscuous Schools of Pupils without distinction of worth or Merit. I pity both this popular silly-poore Ambition of Professors, and the penurious fond conceits of many Patients, who, to save the least conceived trifle-charge of Cure, will upon any small Hint of a Physical help, be either raw or more than ripe Medlars in Medicines, and like blind Byards rashly and rudely rush into the unsounded Deeps of the Sacred Mysteries of Medication; Faith and works are necessary Cooperants for salvation of the Soul, but, to redeem the body from Dures of diseases and repair the ruins of impaired Health, it were to be wished that Patients would rather be constant, strong Solifidians in obsequious conformity to the counsel of the Physician, than busy bold Physmicaries': Tactant fabrilia fabri: let not Patients turn Medicine Mungers, but containing themselves within their proper Spheres of Prayer, Confidence and regularity, refer each Cure to the honest care of the Rational Artist, who knows how to keep the Golden Mean, between the superstitious Empiricke, and the ambitious Methodian, both which do many times make the best Recipes no better than pressed and fiat Decipes. For the obstinate Empiricke, grossly holding it a religious Tie, jurare in verba Magistri, so superstitiously and wilfully weds himself to experimentalls, that he will not▪ for a world of reason, decline or be drawn, ne latum quidem unguem, not the breadth of a Hair, from a Probatum, but still in all his practice propines one and the self same (secret forsooth) totidem verbis & herbis, both in Dose and dispense, to every man promiscuously. Now the capricious Methodian, out of curious singularity to transcend the spurned repute of Empiricie, and by his witty wanders to impregnate and beget good wits with wonder of his learned worth, without cause or cautel, so commands over well approved Medicines with his Protean Quid pro quo, that for most part he disables the Medicine of commanding over the Malady, and so not seldom fails of finding that good success to attend his Pragmatique permutations, which often crownes the constant course of the less literate, but more humble Practitioner. But the true Artist, well knowing the pernicious issues of Empirical pertinacy, and the fruitless vanity of the Methodian his seeming all seeing perspicacy, nor peremptorily confines himself to his Probatums, nor designs change thereof but in rational and judicious respect for proprietary accommodation to the case of the cure in Quest▪ This is The Physician, the man that will for no cause (much less in politic caution to vindicate ignorance from censure) abandon and leave his Patient in deplorate diseases, but be they passed the Period of Cure before he be called to counsel, or essentially or casually incurable, will yet continue his careful endeavours to recall and congregate the wand'ring Spirits to their Centres there to become quiescent and calm, carminate and compose the Animal Faculties in case of needful exigence, the better to enable the Patient to call upon God, and recommend himself to the Redeemer, & to mitigate and faciliate the Agonies and Pangs of Death, that they may not interrupt the cheerful Anhelation and earning of the immortal Soul for Abraham's bosom-Imbrace; which heavenly happy end of divine Physic, imploring the Author and Actor of Physic (the endless Deity) may crown thy Catastrophe and mine upon this mundane Stage with consolable close, I end,  
Thine until and after that End. W. F.   

Panalaes' Etymon.  
ANd why Panala? Is't cause all meere-Ale  
In sight and taste I seem sans other vale?  
Not so confined; I serve for Bread and Broth,  
Fell Thirst and Hunger keen I cure them both.  
What's nutritive, what t'Health or Diet tends  
The little bulk I bear all comprehends.  
The languid Appetite I recreate,  
Famelique spirits richly saturate,  
Tracts fibrous forth' Mechanic t'operate  
With vap'rie Nutriment, I reserate,  
The corporal parts essentially I nourish,  
Make th' Animals effectually to flourish,  
Good spirits wing with vive and active vigours,  
Malefique void or calm discursant rigours.  
I arm Man Cape à Pee 'gainst Humor-iarrings,  
Whole troops of Sickness quell or daunt their darrings,  
I clear the fancy from fanatique wanders,  
And Reason aye redeem from false Maeanders.  
With blessed Souls I best spirits symphonize,  
With pure soil seed prolifique sympathise.  
Nor am I tied to Ceres plain'st array  
Save when I suit myself to low allay,  
Yet then sometimes my habit I do ,  
And fair Pomona dights me for her Fairy.  
When Truage unto courtly Dames I render  
In due habiliments myself I tender.  
Imbroydries' fair from France and from Canaries  
Make-up my mantle with what rich and rare is.  
Fraught with choice Indian Plants endear enchase,  
Acquaint vinie Trails my kirtle entertrace.  
Flora the Globe rounds, virtues best infuses  
To prime Extracts whose pride my Robe diffuses.  
With Pearls and gems my Buskins are embossed,  
My flowery Chaplet round with Beauperes cost.  
What Tethys yields, or pregnant Tellus claims  
Are subjects to my salutary aims.  
The Haven of Health to gain with earning Stern,  
Vertumnus like my Garb and Gage I Pern,  
My form, my face, my posture and my pall,  
My corpse contracting to dimensions small.  
Yet nis my Ballast lesser than my Sail,  
What's the Disease in which I not avail?  
I am not tho, with doubtful spirits fraught  
Which kill in future by impressions reached  
From dreadful Minerals surviving Ghost,  
Though  griefs with palliats they accost.  
Ingredients of suspect, each Drug that base is  
Abandoned balk my presence; Verdure's graces,  
Secure-boon-vertues beavie in my Bower,  
Where tainted Tinctures find nor place nor power.  
Nor am I destute of due equipage,  
Though most I make my progress without Page;  
Select Attendants and Associates too  
Are pressed aye to perform what I bid do.  
My Harbinger with high Herculean hand  
Th' Augean sordid Stalls, each stagnant Stand  
(Whose turgid gross Illuvies doth surround  
Man's Edifice with Soakages profound,  
Each Room, each Closet, even his lofty Turret,  
Taints and infests with vapours of ill Spirit)  
Doth cleanse and clear, eliminating all  
That may my happy entertain forestall.  
Both Land and Water-Leech attend my Train,  
Rivers and Rils or full or foul to drain.  
Ushers me conduct to each Part each Place  
Apart, opert, to what's of use of grace;  
(Not that I need such Convoy, save for State,  
Sith porous Blinds I selfly penetrate)  
All which my choice Concomitants and I  
Corroborate, Repair and Rectify.   

Panalaes' Encomion.  
WOuldst thou the sweets of Corporal Pleasure's relish?  
Of Touch, Taste, Souses all Delices' cherish?  
Make course home-fare more gustful to the Palates  
Than Feasts of costly Cates with curious Salads?  
With Banquet Physic wouldst thou Nature feast  
And active vigour in whole man invest?  
Wouldst brook secure th' Airs various affects  
In Bodies foul, strained Labours strange effects?  
Wouldst scandalous diseases palliate,  
Th'incurable subdue and mitigate?  
Wouldst sweet repose sans turbid vaprie steames,  
Fantasmaes' fond and dire discursant gleams?  
Wouldst propagate unto thy progeny  
Rich beauty, feature, health, blessed ingeny?  
Wouldst Reason, Wit, Invention, Memory,  
And each power Animal well Rectify,  
Wouldst heavenly wise clear, reserat and polish,  
From whatsoever those faculties demolish,  
All th'Organs by which their discursive vigour  
Moves, & the brain imbright like purest mirror?  
Wouldst wean thy warping will from wanderings clews,  
Wing Soul to contemplate Seraphic Thews?  
Wouldst Chimacterique seizures supersede,  
For longer Lease of Life produce thy Thread?  
Wouldst healthful live, till almie Nature crown  
Thy honoured Head with reverend Elds white down?  
Wouldst gently part-with Soul and Bodies Tie,  
And sans distracting reluctation dye?  
Panalaes' Loars embrace, and thou'lt agnize  
Their seeds produce such fruits; and breed a Prize  
Of more extent, rich use true valued worth  
Than my poor Quaeres can at full point forth.  

Sine numine nihil.  
MAy then Paul plant? Apollo water may?  
Nor he nor he, or th'one or th'other can  
If heavenly hand do not their handle sway;  
But say they can: vain are the works of man  
If God bless not: he only gives increases,  
Addle and idle, else designs all are:  
Say the Physician then against diseases  
Prescribe aright, and his prescripts with care  
Th' Apothecar dispensing doth propine  
Unto the sick, whose diligence observes  
Each due direct from First unto the Fine  
And from the tracts of learned rules ne'er swerves.  
Shall wit of man confine the Lord of Hosts  
T'attend his wise behests, intendments bless,  
Seal with Amen, sign and make good his boasts  
Of former Cures and Cans of sure success?  
Toto Caelo errat, who absurdly doth  
Means mere humane confide sans main (heaven's stroke)  
Abainlesse bit, a cup of wholesome broth,  
Vnblessed may man in a moment choke.  
How can great Galen then with confidence  
Of Physic, ever safe prescriptions give?  
The wisest fond act, learned speak Nonsense,  
If Bones celestial bless not each contrive.  
For without God, Man's wit no whit of good  
Can ere beget for Life or livelihood.

CHAP. I.  
Of the Quality and Nature of Ale, the most accustomed and most accommodate Body for the Base of this Composition.  
I Know it is almost a common received opinion, that Ale is a foggy fulsome stuff, clogging the stomach, stuffing the Lungs and puffing up the body with lose fat, and flashie unsound flesh; Nor am I ignorant of the Record of the ancient Poet (Henrieus Abrincensis) who, in displeasure to a Pot of Ale that perhaps pleased not his palate, to cast a foul aspersion upon this out more ancient drink, falls into this furious rapture.  

Nescio quod Stygiae Monstrum conforme paludi,  
Ceruisiam plerique vocant; nil spissius illa  
Dum bibuur, nil clarius est dum mingitur: undè  
Constat, quòd multas faeces in ventre reliquit.   

I know not I, what Monster's this to th'eye,  
This Ale, Mud-Mix, like Stoepe of fenny Styx,  
More thick no potion, more cleere's no Lotium:  
Much dregs remain i'th' Body then 'tis plain.   
Nor (to speak the truth) is it altogether improbable, but there might in those ruder Times, be found many Tons of ill conditioned Ale, not unworthy such splenique Dictoes', before one Stand or Rundlet of pure stuff worthy the Encomion of a Pot Poet. Have we not yet even in these days many Mother-Foulsums, scarce worthy the bearing of Bourne, much less the admittance for Brewing either Ale or Beer, which wanting both Art and industry requisite for the Mystery, mar no more Malt than they meddle with, and mash Ale, more like a mash or a medicine for a sick horse than a potable liquor fit for a man's palate, stomach or health? And surely, it was the Normans ill hap to have his Cap fitted with a feculent cup of crude muddy Ale, to his morning Draught; and were not this able to move the patience of a temperate man (much more the fiery choler of an Old Elderton, or a new Ale-Knight) any way regardful of health, and cause him burst into as boisterous a Piece of Poetry, or other more unmeasurable passion? Howsoever, were this Cynic Passage of the Poet, an earnest Quarrel to a Pot of Ale, (uncouth, because unaccustomed, to his wine washed Palate,) or the Vent of a jesting vain of Wit, sluced by some Slashes of the same Element, 'tis manifest to most Observers, that ill brewed Ale is commonly of a puddle substance, abounds with gross Phlegmatic & flatulent Humours, is heavy, and hurtful to the Stomach, stuffs the Ventricle, obstructs the Mesaraick veins, the Liver, Lungs▪ spleen, Reins, ureters, and other inward vessels and passages of the Body, and by consequence puffs & blowes-up the whole bulk thereof with slimy, flashie and feculent Ballasts, shortens the Breath, breeds the Stone, Strangury, Gouts, and sends up to the Brain gross fumie Vapours, which offend the Nerves, & distemper & obsuscate the Spirits, (the Mechanic Operators of and in all the Faculties of Man) with much detriment and damage to all the Senses both Internal and Externall.  
But let a neat housewife, or cannie Ale wright, have the handling of wholesome Bourne, and sound and mellow sweet Malt, and you shall find, and will confess, there is Art and Dexterity in this common business of Brewing: and that amongst those that assume unto themselves the Name of skilful Ale-Brewers, there are more that miss the mark, for all their supposed Artifice, than with constant Mastery make up the true Mechanic of the Mystery. For you shall then have a neat Cup of rich nappy Ale, well boiled, defecated & cleared, that shall equal the best brewed Beer in transparence, please the most curious Palate with mild quickness of relish, quench the Thirst, humect all the Inwards with rorid juice, help Concoction and distribution of Meat by ' its moderate Penetraction (especially promoted with the Additament of the Vehiculum which best Alistraes' boil with the wort, to wit, such a proportion of Hop as gives no tact of bitterness to the Taste after the Ale grows drinkable) much furthering the Attraction of the Parts, and by its substantial succulence much nourish and corroborate the Corporal, and with spiritual vigour comfort the Animal Powers. This Ale will be better than beer for extenuated spare textures of body, by reason of its more nutritive Quality, and that without inconvenience to the Choleric, for that it excretes and voids the Bilous humour by urine and by Stole; or to the Phlegmatic, because it is not Obstructive. And for the Sanguine; it may well suit with such Complexions, by reason of its moderate Heat and Moisture; nor can it be incongruent to the Melancholic, in regard it dissipates and spends fuliginous fumosities and exhilarates the Spirits.  
Such a Cup of pure Comfort, rich animating Ale (neither Lanted, Gummed, nor otherwise sophisticated) find many good fellows which walk ere they wash, for their Morning-Draught of true Derby, which, I dare be bold to say, had been all sufficient to have induced the famous Basilian, Foelix Platerus (had he happily ever plied that Pot) to recant and retract his unkind censuring our Ceruisia, for faetid smell, fastidious Taste, & languid Strength, and to be as forward in affording such Noble Ale the Prize and praise of a Basilique Beverage, as we are in giving it the Attributes of Meat, Drink and Cloth.   

CHAP. II.  
That Ale is a fit Body and convenient liquor, by Infusion to extract and imbibe the Qualities, and virtues of Ingredients, and to participate them to the Patient.  
THat Liquors may the more fully by mere Infusion, be impregnated with the faculties of Simples & other Ingredients of impight and compact substances, 'tis requisite the Quality and Quantity thereof be both of them competent: For the first; it must be either of an inciding and penetrating Power, that, by piercing and entering into all Parts of the subject Materials, it may cut, attenuate, reserate, divide & dissolve their compact & concrete juices, and really also attract, ingest and suck into itself the pure essential forms (in which the chief efficacy of Medicinal force and virtue consists) of their several Natures separated from Earthly Feculency; Or of such a Specifique meet and familiar and pleasurable Essence, that by insinuation it may, (as it were) allure and entice them to infuse and pour into it their best Spirits so oblectated and won.  
For the second; sith Liquor is evermore Agent in this work of Infusion, it must be of sufficient Quantity to subdue and attract the Radical humours and spirits of the Ingredients, because a small proportion is easily imbibed by the Bulk of the subject Matter, and too much will be too weakly tincted therewith, where a fit mean doth effectually drawforth and attract the juices of the infused Body to a due Impregnation.  
For Chemic Extractions; the Spirit of Wine, Hot waters, distilled waters and Rain waters are held appropriate to make infusion. For Potions; wine, Hydromel, Oxymel, Broths, Whey, Decoctions of attenuating Simples, are in request.  
Now although Ale, by reason of its mild Taste, may seem to participate but of small penetration, & by consequence be esteemed an unfit Liquor to macerate Ingredients, and extract their virtues by Infusion; yet by its operation and effects in the Body and Brain, and by the piercing and combustible Hot waters drawn from thence, it may well be collected and concluded, that it is not without subtle and perceant Spirits lurking and lying hid and veiled under the mild soft Mask of its Oleaginous Succulence, and therefore a Liquor no way improper, but a very specifique and fit Body for the Infusion of most sorts of Ingredients, both for gaining and retaining their virtues within itself, and for pressed and effectual Participating them. Howsoever; indubitate Experience (verissima artis Magistra) truly tells and teaches, both Methodist and Empirique, that strong right-brewed Ale, well wrought up with Yeast, and duly tunned up to fit Ingredients, (yea to solid and compact Substances, even to a Body impenetrable by Vulcan's sharpest (not hottest) Tooles, and more condense and obdurate than hardest woods) so macerates, penetrates and works upon their substantial Forms by Fermentation, and Digestion, through force and efficacy of temperate heat and specifique moisture (neither dissipating the Spirits nor dulling their vigour, but rather fortifying both by stirring-up and reducing their Calidum Innatum into Action Cooperative) insinuating with supple joints, and spiritual juices into every Cavitie & Perspirable Overture of every of them, that it subtilizes their inspissat thick humours, reserates the recluse Closets of their impacted Spiris, concocts all Crudities residing in their juices, attempters and mitigates Bitterness, corrects alien Qualities, digests, incides, and divides Concretions, and by disbanding and secluding some Heterogenities to the sides of the vessel, by Precipitation of the feculent, heavy and earthy to the Sediment, and by Elevation and lifting-up the light Refuse or excreat and dead Remain with the Spumie froth to the Swim or Superficies, separates and amandates the secluded Faeces, and Impure Purgaments, couching in their inward Penetralia, quite from the Region of its Depurated Body.  
Thus in few Days, (seven or more according to the season of the weather, hastening or foreslowing the Fining) it Clarifies and purifies its own Body, and really and effectually impregnates it self (by alliciating and attracting) with the pure and sincere Tinctures and Faculties of the infused Materials, and with it vehiculates, caries, communicates and diffuses their virtues and powers into all parts, of the Propinors or Receivers Body, secret and remote. And this Distribution is effectuated and wrought by this Liquor, partly through its liquid proprietary Body, specificated by th'acquisite Quality of Penetration, derived from attenuating Ingredients, and partly by the cooperating of oblectated Nature, which is ever eager to attract and embrace whatsoever participates of a familiar, succulent and nutritive substance, as well-brewed Ale is well approved to do, in due degrees of good Proportion suiting with its strength of Malt and Quantity of Ale, according to which the Extraction of Spirits from the infused Mass, is evermore made respectively. For the Quale and Quantum (jointly considered) of Liquors infusive, bound and limit their Receptivities of extracted Impregnances, as is before intimated.  
Besides that; this Panala, by reason of its apt form and propriety, and convenient praeparation, together with the fitness of the vessel, and its own Crowning and Mantling it self all over with the Clothing or Cover of Yeast, retains and preserves even the subtle and halable Spirits of every Ingredient, mixed and fixed with both their radical Humidums, entire, exempt and free from Evaporation, and its own Life and Quickness from evanid flatness & dead souring, much better than most Liquors can do, yea then Wine, which, though it be Patent in Attraction, is more Impotent in Retention, by reason that the Spirits are Volatile and nothing so Glutinous and Condensate as those of Ale; whereas decoctions, (though they have their proper and commendable uses, being performed according to Art in a close or double vessel, which few Patients are curious in) do commonly exhale, waste and spend the subtle Spirits of diverse Materials, (most of all of most Puggers) and extract, ingest and retain the Heterogene, flatuous and earthy parts of them and of others.  
He that denies or doubts of this Penetrative and extractive force of such Infusions, by the mere efficacy of their inward Fire of Nature without help of foreign Heat, let him drink a Cup of such Liquor after three days (or Wine after twelve hours) Infuse in Calais Chymico, and his Stomach will not so much tell Him, that venture non habet aures, as vellicate them for not being more Believing Ones.  
Now if any Man, wilfully wedded to a self-conceit or singularity of opinion, do yet suspect or will object, that Ale (the Base and Body of this Panala) more obstructs the passages and puffes-up full Bodies than Beer: admit this were granted, 'tis no impeach to the Potion, because the Ingredience of the Bag hath Power to transform Liquors naturally Obstructive to Deoppilative, which doth fare transcend and surpersede that of the ambitious Incoline, the aspiring Hop, aiming to reach the Head of the highest Pole, (and the Pole of the Head) and to banish This ancient Ale, which in the 6. of Edward the 4. (some 147. years ago) was in such request, that the Feast for th'installment of Nevil Archbishop of York, and Chancellor of England, was constantly affirmed to be furnished with 100 Tuns of Wine, and 300 of Ale, but not one Barrel of Beer. Yet for Stomaches that brook not Ale, they may with conveniency make the Infusion in Beer (adding more Raisins to palliate the bitterness) which hath worthily gained the Repute of a wholesome drink, aswel for many medicinable Qualities, as for quenching Thirst, insomuch that the now Rarity of Leapries here, where they were frequent in former times, is attributed to Beer, in regard of the Hop, which hath special Faculties both Diuretique and Deoppilative, whereby it cleanses the Blood from all corrupt humours, and by excreting yellow choler makes the Body soluble, and all this without heating it, or offending the head with fumes, if the Beer be not overhopt nor touched until the Bitterness be digested and worn out.  
Wine also (chief the White) Pyrie, and Cider are very good for this purpose, especially at the time of Vintage. But generally Ale and Beer are the most appropriate Liquors to these parts for the base of this Composition, both by reason of their native and familiar accommodation to our Bodies, and for that they may be prepared at any time, for active Operation upon the Ingredients, which is most powerfully and effectually performed by the Ebullition or reworking of the Liquor in the vessel after barrelling or tunning up, without any that Loss or Diminution of their own Spirits or vigours which would inevitably ensue in too great a proportion, if these or other Liquors once digested and fined should be drawn out for Infusions.  
For Hydromell, Mellicrate, Metheglin, or other made- Drinks, they may be accommodated against any prefixed time like Ale or Beer, but with caution of what Materials, lest you cross the Intention or operative Qualities of the Bag or Composition.   

CHAP. III.  
What Body of Materials are accommodate for Composition of Panala.  
SImples and other Substances in general, which by drying in the Shade, or by other due siccation, are quit of their superfluous Humidity, but retaining their Verdure's or natural Gloss, and being sound and cleansed from all putrified and dead parts, and grossly bruised or punned, or rather small cut or shred, that they may throughly imbibe and receive the Liquor for effectual working upon them by maceration, are fit for Infusions, than such as still retain superfluities of Moisture incorporate in them before they be dried. For the superfluous and alien Humidity, still inherent in their Bodies, shuts out and hinders the necessary piercing and insinuating of the Liquor into their abstruse Inwards; yet the shiced & contused Substances, especially the strained juices of some green or moist Simples or Drugs, are to good purpose many times infused in this case, because they do easily incorporate and communicate their succulence and virtues with the Liquor, and the strength and Ebullition of it doth concoct and digest their Crudities.  
But I have of Dry Ingredients (so many as may well admit such preparation) composed my Fund or Bagg, fully to answer the Scope and Drift of my Intention, which is truly to make good unto the diligent Observer, all the Attributes I give it, how great and exceeding numerous soever they may seem to be: Howsoever other Bags may male audire of many men for Raking, heating, drying and exhausting their Bodies, chief if they be of a feeble and weak constitution. This fault is in the Physician which Emperically & indiscreetly compounds it of suspected Purgers and intemperate Simples, not in the Bag: 'tis not the outward, but the inward Form or Composure, that commends or discommends every Medicine.  
Some will in no sort admit the ingredience of Raisins of the Sun into such like Infusions, affirming they would to small purpose (other than to increase the Bulk of the Bag, lie sobbing and soaking in the Liquor, but rather approve the Ingredience of the strained juice, drawn out with some of the Ale, or of the closing of the Cup with half a score of them, their stones cast away. But though the Additament of this succulent Fruit seems to cross the Canon or Rule of Infusion, yet may their Eunuch-seruice be worthily admitted the presence of the greatest Prince, both chaste Diane's, and jealous Ottomans. For being washed, displayed, and diskerneld, and then closed again and put into the vessel, the Ale doth with exquisite Extraction so effectually work-upon their dissoluble Concretions, that in three day's space it elevates, lifts and caries them up from its Sediment or Bottom to the Superficies or Swim (demonstrable in a Viol Glass) dead and insipid, having left all their Dulcor, and sweet relish, with some third part of their poise (if reduced to former Dryness) in deposito with the Liquor, and who doubts, but that together with their concrete Sweets, and Elementary spissitude, their entire Virtues are also extracted and diffused in solution into the Body of the Infusion? I have not therefore rejected them, but for their manifold and familiar Virtues presented in pleasant succulence to the comfort of the natural Members, and especially unto the Parenchyma Hepatis whereunto they are so grateful, profitable and specifique (totius substantiae proprietate) that they may be styled the Life of the Liver (Epatis quasi anima perhibeantur, according to Sennertus) given them a large patent for place in my Panala. But I oft leave them forth of the Bag for the patiented to put fresh and lose into the Ale to three ounces at least. For the astriction of their kirnels, Grapes impart none to White Wine; and what doth this Infusion extract from such unbroken shellie Crusts, more than doth the Wine press? Et hoc aliquid nihil est, so that they may sans scruple be whole (but slit) cast into the Cask, and so much the rather, because some proportion of a binding Quality doth better such purging Diet Drinks: Yet I leave them to the patiented to use ad libitum. Myrobalans, Tamarinds and Sebestens may claim like privilege for Admittance and use.  
For Drugs commonly cariosa non cara, known to be deadly-dull slugs of doubtful kind, but manifestly averse to the ventricle (whose damage in all Medications, chief in long or continued courses for cures, because it is totius corporis promptuarium, both for feeding the body and its sickness with excrementitious, flatulent & nauseous Humidity, must with particular intention be carefully prevented) especially when the Humours, brought into commotion by the Medicine, infest the Stomach with their confluence, I could not by Motive of Empirical common use be induced to give admittance to their Ingredience here, where I would not have the happy Harmony of most salutary Simples distuned or once touched with any manner of impeach or tact by any the least discordant Heterogenity, let who will magnify the Mountebank Mixtures of others, that for cheapness admit them. To supersede all such branding Imputations, the profitable cheapness of this dangerous Simple, is abandoned my Bag, and in place thereof, I entertain One well approved (by price and frequent practice) of the best Physicians for excellent Operation, exempt from censure and made famous for Attributes of the Virtues and good Effects, Purgative and corroborative, of Rheubarbe and Agarick, and this by the testimony of Modern Classicke Authors.  
Because of the Heat and Dryness, by some suspected to be in Guaiacum, I had utterly disclaimed it for all its Sanctimony, save that the oily substance (praepinguis & resinacea) chief in the black Heart (even of the old Stock) says it participates of a certain moisture, whereby it conserves and nourishes the Humidum primigenium of the Intrals and solid parts, ventremque lubricum facit praeterquam dum sudores promoventur, and yet with astringent dryness corroborates the moist, lose and nauseous Stomach, and all other the vessels. For these virtues and for its further great Fame (see Fernelius and Montanus, who never had the young tendrels of the two year old Tree, to which some ascribe the most Virtue) and Bezoardique Quality, in. which it hath the Power of an Antidote, directly opposing and oppugning putrid Contagions, I have dispensed with some proportionable degree of its Ingredience, yet but as a Quarter Master, under command of a temperate, potent and most precious specifique, to moderate all excess.  
But for China, the costly and travelled Courtier, He is wholly cashiered both Fund and Cask, for all his Cash-worth, because I find Him, like many Auliques, mere Compliment, rich in promises, poor in performances, besides that Renodaeus disallows Him in the sick of Consumptions, and Hucchen says He is unwholesome for the Sound.  
And for that all sorts of Physic, but most of all, all extended courses of Medication (as this is) do much affect and work upon the primary Instruments of Concoctions, the Monarch of the belly, and Fountain of Blood, the Stomach and the Liver; I have for their special comfort and Corroboration furnished the Fund or Bag with singular and most specifique Stomatiques and Hepatiques. Nor are the principal parts any way neglected; Here have you a specifique Bezoardique to cool and corroborate the vital spirits, and an excellent Cephalique to fortify the animal, so that nor Heart nor Head want their munition to maintain valid and constant encounters against diseases; not that the inherent malignity of any Ingredient necessitates such fortification, but to accommodate and attemper Heaters with Coolers, and Resoluers and Openers with strong Roborators and mild Astringents, according to Quercetan from Galen.   

CHAP. FOUR  
Of the particular passages observable about the Infusion of the Fund or Bag.  
I Have now enlarged and proportioned the Bag of Ingredients to Panala for two Gallons (or twelve wine quarts) of Ale, that it may furnish man and wife for one week, or one patiented for two. This is a bottle more than former use, and I hold it the mean and best proportion for most part to be observed, both for extracting, preserving and participating the Qualities of the Ingredience. But this quantity of the Liquor may be somewhat augmented or diminished, & the potion made stronger or weaker of Medicinable Qualities, to fit the affections of several Stomaches, the Custom of little or larger drinking, or other intendments.  
An ordinary Stand, Steine or Ale Can with a Tap-hole, will be an apt vessel to serve well for the Infusion, provided there be always care to keep it close covered: but a small Roundlet, fitly bungd for Receipt of the Bag, will best of all retain and conserve the Life and quick Relish of the Liquor.  
The Fund or Composition of Ingredients, neatly made up and included in a Bag of fine Bolter stuff, must be sunk into the vessel, with a Pebble stone, or with some other Poise, or constantly kept down with forked sticks (Oak and Ivy much improve the wholsomenes of the Drink) or other force, to prevent its rising up to the Breaking of the Body of the Yeast, because such a breach in open vessels, would be▪ as pernicious to this Panala, as the taking of vent, or wind is unto wine or other Liquors by venting out and evaporating their spirits.  
The Ale or Beer must be well mixed and wrought up with good store of Yeast to crown and keep it from expense of spirits, and the yesting in open vessels is requisite to be renewed once in 7. Days; for the souring of the Yeast turns the Drink with its tartness, but shift of yeast preserves the spirit and Life of the Liquor entire, and the Ale fresh and quick for a Month or more Time of Drinking.  
The fittest and only Season to make this Infusion, is the usual Time of the ordinary Tunning-up of the Drink, that by Ebullition, working and digestion in the vessel through its inward Heat of the fire of Nature, it may effectually work upon, macerate and ingest the concrete juices and Faculties of the Subject matter; and for better liberty of working, the Roundlet may have some hour- Vent after the Liquor is tuned into it, but than it must be bunged up close. For placing the vessel of Liquor where it may receive the benefit of accidental or foreign Heat, to promote the Operation upon the Ingredients, the force and efficacy of the inward and self contained Calidum Innatum or inbred Heat of this Liquor, is all sufficient for production of perfect maceration of the infused Materials, so that Cellars which preserve Wine & Beer, serve aswell for this as for them; the like do other close Rooms, which are exempt from the Extremes of distempered Seasons, no less from the spirit exhaling Summer Heats and others (though they clarify the Remnants) then from the chilling and killing rigour of Winter, although a qualified cold, congregates and preserves the Spirits.  
To the continuance of the Infusion: The common practice in like Operations, is never to strain nor stir the Fund or Bag, until all the Drink be spent; but it is full sufficient (for matter of evacuating Operation especially) to infuse it, till there be made a perfect Fermentation or Digestion of the continent Mass of Ingredients, that the Ale being fully impregnated with the proprieties illiciated or ingested from them, there may in the Body of the Liquor be bred and brought forth a new Nature, fully participating, in one Homogene and entire Body, of native and acquisite Qualities, it's own and the Ingredients.  
Three Day's continuance is a competent Time for the Infusion to extract the purgative Faculties of the Bag, before which space to begin Drinking thereof, to avoid souring and pricking, is a poor trick of prevention. But if you defer the broaching thrice three days or more, the Drink will be better depured and much more pleasant both in Sight and Taste, without impeach to the Evacuative Operation, besides that it thereby becomes more impregnate and imbibes its whole Dimensum both of Evacuative and Alterative Virtues: therefore the best Index for Broaching Panala is the Test of perfect Depuration.  
My Custom and Rule for curious palates, is to direct, that after four or five Day's Infusion, the Ale be all drawn into Bottles and Corked, and kept like usual Bottle-Ale; for by this means it is neatly preserved forty days, and more if need, cool, perfect and entire in Taste and Virtue to the last Cup. This is the best course for frugal keepe and husbanding the Potion; for so the Bag becomes free for a second Infusion, either by Drying the Ingredients against half or two thirds of the Ale be spent, or by immediate Straining and reinfusing the same into fresh Liquor for Meal-drinke.  
To make it drink cool, fresh and quick in the hottest Summer, hang it bottled in a deep Well a little above the Water, twelve or fourteen days, and you have your desire. For the cold vapour of the water preserves the Ale from Exhalation of the Spirits, and also irritates and makes them vigorous, whereby they incorporate all parts of the Liquor in more perfection: The like may be done at any time and that in the Roundlet itself to the same purpose.   

CHAP. V.  
Of the praeparation of the Body before taking the Ale, and when it is to be drunk.  
PAnala, together with its Purgative Quality, doth so reserate and open the Ports and Passages of the corporal Vessels, so maturate and make fluent the Humours, and so effectually perform all the Parts and Offices of a good Preparative, that, before the use thereof, there seldom needs any other preparation of the Body in that kind; yet in case the Patient be accustomed to morning ejaculations or springs of watery Humours or vicious Contents floating in, or disturbing the Stomach, it is expedient, before the drinking of this Panala, for praeparation of the Ventricle (to receive, not of the Humours to obey, the medicine) by gentle provocation thereof with a sprig of Rosemary, or a feather, agitated about the roof of the Mouth and roots of the Tongue, to cause ejaculation, or at least some expuition or flux of liquid Humours. Those Patients which do not affect this practice, although the affections of their Stomaches crave the like, may do well, some half hour before the Potion, to eat a small Tost of light household bread, rubd-over with a little Table Salt, to remedy the fluctuating of the raw phlegmatic recrements, and to digest and consume the crudities of the Stomach.  
For other helps of convoy into the Body, and all the inward penetralia of the palace of the Microcosm, Panala is so gracious and so potent an Usher, (a Vehicle to powders, pills, electuaries) there needs no foreign vehiculation, where every recluse, with ready expanse, invites her welcome entrance and entertain into each presence.  
Touching the time for select usage of this potion: The Spring of the year is the fittest season of all other, for this and for all other courses of medication, because it is the most temperate and most wholesome; besides that, than the blood most increases, (as sap in vegetables) and the recreated spirits are most active in vigorous rotations, and most apt and able and pressed with their Opifique powers to cooperate with physical means. Moreover, Evacuations are then most requisite, because gross pituitous Humours, heaped-up in winter (which condensates them and constipates their Meatus) now dissolving, with hotter air, will easily, if they be not evacuated, be diffused into the whole body, and beget grievous Diseases. And in the later end of the Spring, the redundance of hotter Humours are ready, if obstructions be not removed and they avoided, to inflame and to putrify and produce Fevers. The Spring therefore (especially that which next precedes the Clymaterique year) should never passover a provident Man's head without some help of physic equivalent to Panala, though he feel no infirmities. Much more when a man perceives spontaneous lassitude, heaviness or indisposition in his body to the actions thereof, it is then high time by mature evacuation to prevent the ingruent and approaching sickness, for those are manifest signs, that the mesaraique veins (the double conduits, Chyliducts from the bowels, and Sanguiducts from the Liver) are replenished with peccant humours, which not timously evacuated will shortly bring forth fruits of ill effects. For the vicious matter, retained in the veins, at length putrifies, breathes forth ill vapours, and breeds diuturne Fevers, or else converted into a venomous nature, with sudden assault, like a poisonous Serpent couched in ambush for a mischievous design, sets upon the principal parts (heart and brain,) producing grievous accidents and effects of dangerous sequel. Sometimes these vicious Humours poured forth into the bowels and other vessels, do cause the Colic, jaundice, Cachexia, and other maladies, & other whiles elapsing forth of the greater branches into the habit of the body under the skin, they breed itches, scabs, botches, and other praeternatural Tumours.  
Next unto the Spring is the fall of the leaf, or Autumn, which indeed is a second Spring, though many degrees short of the former; but here the crudities and relics of raw fruits and Sommer-indigestions (the banes of health) ingested and heaped-up in the veins and other vessels, necessitate that medication, which there is invited through conveniency.  
For time of the Moon; I hold it not amiss for a constant Man, where occasions may be accommodated for free choice, to elect the mids of the first Quartile, and continue the take of the first infusion most part of the two next Quaternaries or Decrease, and the second or altering potion the Increase, because the body is then most animated by exaltation of the Spirits, and thereby Natures most potent for any work. But I would not be too punctual in this point; there is no necessity of the observe of such precise terms, nor is it my meaning to confine unto so strict limits, sith every temperate season doth excellently serve for this manner of Physic, only the vernal and autumnal are very meet to be selected for a continued course of the like, when the purpose is for prevention of sickness, or removal of rooted diseases, whose affects are not precipitate or of sudden danger. But in acute diseases, where grievous distempers, of violent motion or doubtful issue, infested or fasten upon the body, a man must neither dwell upon the expectance of seasonable weather, nor of the benevolent aspects of the Planets, but setting apart all dallying delays (the Deluge which few men do dry-shod decline and quit) fall too and follow this familiar Help, be it Winter or Summer, or other unseasonable time, rather than, by deferring it to a more accommodate season, suffer the sickness, confirmed by procrastination, to become incurable or of doubtful consequence. Provided always, that the extremes and injuries of distempered weather be mitigated or avoided by keeping within prepared rooms; the means and manner of which preparation are laid down in the dietetique part of this work, in the corrections of the air upon discourse of that Element.  
But our Summers in this Northern Climate give no true cause nor scarce any colour of that general nice curiosity fond fostered for decline of weather-health, for fear of incurring the supposed inevitable hazard through meddling with physical means, in so much that moderate and rational medication may safely be ministered even in the Dog-days themselves; which superstitious scruple (derived from the Canicular aphorism without consideration of the Author's Country, or indeed of his conceit) of dissolving, distracting, and dissipating the Humidum Radical with the calidum innatum, hath made so observable, that the vulgus hominum (at least) will rather cowardly crouch and prostrate, bend the back to bear the brunt of the insulting Foe, amating sickness, than draw the dagger of one medicinable Dose to encounter the assault, much less enter the Lists (by any methodical course) of a constant combat to make good the Keep of the Castle of his soul committed to his religious charge.  
In hazardous diseases then, let no man be too precise in curious terms of choice Seasons, nor yet stand too strictly upon concoction of Humours, but be the malady acute or diuturn, venienti occurrite Morbo, though you cannot, for lack of specifical Munition, give apposite encounter to the first assault or seizure, yet hast diligent clearing the common passages (Ventricle and Intestines) of superfluous recrements, and never permit the redundance of crude matter to regurgitate, fluctuate and flow to and fro in the veins and vessels, or to settle and nest upon some principal part, to the ruin of it and all the rest, nor diuturne or lingering affections to grow more stubborn or rebellious both against Nature and Physic, to the utter confusion and demolition of the whole Fabric.  
This generous Medicine and gentle Minorative, confidently taken and constantly continued, hath power to accelerate the concoction of diseases by helping Nature both by evacuation and alteration, and to make those which essentially and of themselves are of doubtful and daingerous event, to become salutary and safe, and others, of less hazard, but more lingering and tedious, more tolerable and much shorter,  
In diuturne diseases it is profitable, and in acute very necessary to make some evacuation of superfluous humours before concoction, because that over and above the continent chief matter of the Malady in the veins or in the intrals, or in the habit of the body requisite to be concocted, there are many times vicious contents nested in the ventricle, in the intestines, and about the precordiall parts (manifest by dolour, heat, nauseous loathing, bitterness, distension, and other Dignostiques) the concoction whereof (especially of the stomach recrements) is many times expected in vain; and Patients thus affected may doubtless profitably be purged, by such familiar means, at all times of the disease, even before any appearance of concoction. And were I called in such cases (caeteris concurrentibus) I should advice, first to prepare the Body, for receipt of so generous a Medicine, by St●matique Pills, or by Emetique means, and afterwards upon occasion open a vein, for ventilation at least: so should this precious Potion happily produce effects of excellent worth and secure assurance with more speed and pleasure.  
Now touching the time of the day for drinking this Ale, although it be so mild and familiar a medication, that it may, not much amiss sometimes (when 'tis compounded with Purgers) be carded with common Ale or Beer to make it a meal-drinke, especially for the extenuating and much abating of gross and fat corpulency, by occasioning more copious detraction of superfluities and unnecessary ivices, yet when the intention is to make sincere evacuation of vicious or superfluous contents in other constitutions, it will be more proper and indeed the most approved and requisite method to take it fasting (especially to such as use to drink next their hearts, as they term it) betimes in the morning, that it may the more deeply penetrate and carry itself into the Humours and all the veins and parts of the Body, and by consequence more effectually produce all its operative effects both of Euacuation and Alteration.  
To others, not used to drink fasting (as they call it) because common drink coming into their empty stomaches may affect and somewhat offend the head and nerves, a potcht Egg seasoned with salt and three or four drops of Vinegar, or some other small morsel of light or easy digestion, may conveniently be premised or admitted. Not that any damage or danger depends upon the sudden entry and convoy of this Potion into the empty cavity or substance of the stomach: the body of Panala is an alimentary medicine so mild and benign, there can be neither cause nor colour to suspect the concomitance or sequence of any violent, sinister, or offensive Effects, by or from the quality thereof, to the empty ventricle; but that the admission of so small a pittance before the Potion, subscribing to custom of diet without confounding of Art (Aëtius commends purging medicaments given with meat in bodies naturally costive) stirs-up Nature, and awakes and quickens the mechanic spirits of the stomach with pleasurable delight to embrace the approach of a greater Peregrine so ushered into the presence by the aggrating precedence of so welcome a well-known familiar. He that doubts, the medicine and the humours it moves will corrupt the Meat, precipitate crude indigestions, and convoy an excrementitious Chylus into the Veins and Liver, let Him, to avoid all colour of scruple, spare it at meals, and all manner of meat when He drinks it; so shall the mixture nor work upon his stomach nor conceit.  
To conclude, the rightest method is to drink this Ale upon an empty stomach, and 'tis a very good order to take it betimes in the morning, and two hours before meals both dinner and supper also, if the aim be to purge much.  
In Summer it may be taken to bedward, and two or three hours also before you rise only, to the end most part of the purging may be passed before the heat of the day, and that some sleep then upon it may unite natural heat, and promote the working of the Medicament. For though profound sleep may stay it a time, it neither quite supersedes the evacuation, nor perturbs the action of the Ale more than it doth of Stomatique or other Pills sine custodia, which are customably and best so taken.  
In Winter take it only before Noon; viz. one Dose or Draught about 6 or 7 in the morning in bed, and another when you are up after some motion of the body, with a third (if need be) an hour or more before dinner, or the 2 last only (if not all three in this order where you like not that first) so shall you well accommodate the medication, and happily prevent the inconvenience of night-workings.  
These Cautions are specially for tender Bodies, and intemperate Seasons; ordinary Constitutions, and seasonable Times need no such precise Rule of definite Drinking this familiar Liquor.   

CHAP. VI  
Of the Dose, the manner of Taking and the Continuance of using this Ale.  
THe usual Dose of purging Potions seldom exceeds the measure or proportion of Three Ounces, lest the Quantity should subvert the Ventricle and cause Nauseum or perhaps Casting: But so small a draught here is too little, it may movere, but not promovere, stir the Humour, but not extirp or purge it forth: This Ale being most benign and familiar to Nature, in Sight, Savour, Taste and Digest, a man may without error or suspicion of any foul accident, take a full Draught to ten or twelve Ounces: Some men drink sixteen Ounces or a whole pint at once, though half a Pint be a reasonable Dose.  
For manner of taking the Ale; It is ordinarily drunk without Heating, according to the custom of common Ale or Beer, and in winterly seasons, it will do very well, and indeed is very requisite, to fright away the frigidity with the sight of the fire, or with a brown Tost attempered, if you will, with the Tests of Sugar and Nutmeg, to aggrate both palate and stomach. Or you may scare off the Cold, by quenching in the cup a Gad of Steel, or rather some pieces of Gold made hot in a silver spoon, (or the spoon alone) with a chafing-dish, because it leaves in the Liquor no astriction nor other Heterogene quality.  
Touching the continuance; this hath reference to the Cause that occasions the course of Medication, which must and best doth limit the same. Seven days will do well for cleansing the Intestines, Liver and Veins of the Colluvies of Humours, and to reserate the vessels and passages; but double that Time will effectually remove many settled Affects, reform distempers, and produce good Rectification of all the parts of the Body: and one Fund or Bag, will upon the first Infusion sufficiently furnish a temperate Patient for a Fortnight, and the like upon the Second. And the taking of either of them may without error or much inconvenience in many cases aswell Curative as cautionary, be a day or two omitted or discontinued to correspond some urgent occasions, provided the discontinuance be redeemed with diligent pursuit for Reparation.  
And this is most requisite to be done, if sincere and exact. Evacuation be not already accomplished. For the noxious humour, sith it is an unnatural Alien, (alienus ac praeter naeturam) must be wholly and absolutely eliminated and ejected, whether the counsel be precaution or profligation of the disease. I confess, the Remain of some minute small portion of the peccant humour may by the spiritual force and fire of Nature, promoted and fortified with an exquisite rule of dietetical Regiment, be so mastered and vanquished, that safe and sound health may sometimes succeed without fear of Relapse.  
But if the Relics be many, except Nature (happily potent in all her Faculties) do voluntarily subdue and avoid the same, the exactest order of Life cannot safeguard the sick from the daingerous Machine's of the Disease: for though he may seem in some sort to have received ease by the purging, He will relapse into the former infirmity, sooner or later, in more or less latitude, according to the Copy or Malignity of the Relics, and his strength and Diet, because the Relics of diseases breed Relapses, Quae à morbis relinquuntur, recidivos morbos facere consueverunt, Hipp. lib. 2. Aph. 12. For when the part remaining, retains the condition of the whole, which was altogether against Nature, that remain can never be converted and assimilated into the substance of the Body, but will in process of time corrupt the pure humours, together with the Aliments, and produce morbid fruits like to the first. Hence it is, that the more you feed a foul body (not fully cleansed from impure humours) the more you offend, Impura corpora, quo magis nutris, hoc magis offendis, Aph. 10. lib. 2. For you nourish not the sick but the sickness. Therefore to vindicate and clear the Man from his Malady, whatsoever noxious Humour nests in the Body, it must be absolutely and totally taken away and eliminated.  
This Panala then in rebellions, malign, stubborn, and diuturne diseases, should be constantly continued a month or more without intermission, or any other Drink, only the Meale-drinke may be made of a Bag, made up without Purgers, or else the purging potion carded with other Drinks.  
The reason of extending the medication to so long a Time may be, that Creationis morbi, atque curationis paria sunt quodam modo Temporum Momenta. For as weeds are hardly hailed and plucked out their Holds, when they are once deeply rooted, though quickly quit and rid the Plot when they are young; so diseases long in breeding (though perhaps suddenly breaking forth by occasion of Cold-taking, ill diet or other error, as newly bred) are for the most part long in curing. It is almost a Miracle to blow them up in a moment, though such Herculean helps we find sometimes by specifique Means.  
But they fond run into a gross Error, whosoever in Diuturne Affects or inveterate deep trenched Maladies give over or negligently interrupt without reparation the constant course of Medication before the Humours offending, being prepared by motion and flux, be fully avoided, and the parts and Harmony of the body duly rectified by competent continuance of the Means.  
For although good Euacuation, from divers parts of the body, may in many cases be effectually wrought and performed in few days, deep rooted Impressions do necessarily require longer extent of Physical helps for due Eradication of peccant causes, and for true Rectification, as aforesaid.  
And let no man attempt nor imagine by extraordinary ingurgitation and qua●●ing up the whole quantity of the Ale in a few days to accelerate the cures of long continued infirmities; It is the moderate and temperate use of Medicine, with regular carriage and constant perseverance in the same, that breeds and produces the best and readiest effects and performance for removal and riddance of the dolours and dire affects dimaning from deep impressed diseases.  
But the customary use and continuance of the same means (Meat or Medicine) breeds dulness of Appetite or of Operation. Forbear the Potion but a few days (provided a good diet be in the interim observed) and you salve this Satiety. For intermission, aggrates in effect with the grateful fruits of change, and we find that in some sort New, which hath for a reasonable space been intermitted.   

CHAP. VII.  
Of the Diet and Order observable in the use of this medicinable Ale.  
THe head of this Chapter is the Subject of the Dietetique or Second Part of Panala: in which, besides some large discourse of the salutary use of the six Non-naturalls, the alimentation both of the Spirits and Body, is anatomically delineated. Yet that this Medique part may not in the mean time, be posted forth Pede primo claudicaens, with downright halt before, I held it unfit to be altogether past-over here in silence, and have therefore borrowed leave for a touch or two in a few lines, before I go about to trace out the whole Lineaments of that Body.  
In diuturne, lingering and daingerous diseases it is very conducible and requisite in all sorts of Physical courses ordained for their cures, to foster and follow the constant keep of regular strict moderation, not in the qualities and quantities of Meats and Drinks only, but in the rest of the Rerum non naturalium likewise. But in the use of this Medicamentum Alimentosum, there is much less need to prescribe any so exact and precise Rules of Diet, be the Intention cautionary or curative, to secure or arm the Body in prevention of ingruent infirmities, or to remove or cure them when they have made seizure. Yet is it very commendable and convenient too, in the use of this Ale, as of all other medicinable means, to observe and keep a moderate abstinence from food, of manifest ill condition at least, and in all others to rise every Meal from Table with good appetite, that Nature, being no way hindered or oppressed with meats of hard digestion or naughty juice, or with too large proportion of ingurgitation, may without impediment freely and happily produce her curative and salutary aims and effects.  
This General Rule may well serve as all-sufficient to the common sort of People, to whom 'tis idle folly to prescribe strict orders, which they neither can nor will keep. Many men's Purses are not furnished for meats of fit juice, and many robust and laborious persons are happy in their habilities of strong constitutions, accustomed to hardness and to gross feeding, and meats of light digest are of sleight esteem with stomaches enured to make full meals on solid strong dishes. One word more yet by the way, of the different fruits of full and spare feedings.  
Repletion or too liberal feeding heaps up abundance of excrements and superfluous and vicious Humours (the Relics of over-taxed concoctions) begets crudities and obstructions, oppresses and suffocates the divine and native heat, much hindering the laudable functions thereof spiritual and corporal, for it dulls all the Senses, and disanulls all dexterity, agility and active promptitude of the body, and besides breeding all sorts of maladies humour all, excrementitious, and such as proceed from Plethora and Cachochymia, it causes many time's recidivation and return of diseases otherwise quit and cured, and seldom fails to frustrate the care and cure of the honest Artist, in that they obtunde, debilitate, and oft deprave the salutary operations of medicinable means. For Nature being over-borne with the heavy load of abundance, sinks unawares in the midway under her burden.  
But contrariwise, the Innatum calidum (that divine Opifex and author of all natural functions) nor implicated, nor intricated with ingestions of viands offensive in Quantity or Quality, but free to diffuse itself into and through all parts of the body, shall be able everywhere to extend and execute its native power and strength, to convert good ivices and depurated blood by nutrition into the substance of the body and all its parts, to digest, rarify and dissipate by insensible transpiration all superfluous Humours, to concoct the crude, and change them into sanguineous nutriment, to attenuate the thick, make fluent the tough, expedite obstructions, make patent all the corporal Passages, and fortify the expulsive faculty. And by these means, the operation of this generous medicine shall be rectified, exalted, and more enabled to produce and shew-forth its most exquisite worthy effects, evacuative, alterative, and otherwise operative, with more speed and facility. Such and so great is the virtue, force and effects of Abstinence or Spare-diet.  
To return; After each morning draught of the Ale, you may to many good purposes eat a few Raisins of the Sun, and now and then make your Supper of them and a morsel of Bread if you will, for they levigate, smooth and supple the roughness of the rough Artery or Windpipe, by opening and strengthening they cure the torrifaction, or retardate the sexilitie of the Liver, cleanse Phleagme, irrorate and madifie the body with nutrient moisture, and make the ivices thereof roscid, less dissipable and more reparable, they breed good blood, and help infirmities of the Throat, Lungs, Chest, Milt, Kidneys, and Bladder. For forbearance of meat after purgation taken, some limit the space of two hours after a strong purging Potion, but in purges of solid form, or in Pills, double that time should be interposed and passed, before other Repast. And many admit of no meal until the Purge have performed its Office, lest the meat should be corrupted by mixture with such medicine, but it is all-sufficient that the substance or body of the Purge hath so quit the ventricle that it hath passed the Port Pylorus into the Intestines; of which there is assured test, when neither Belching, nor upbraiding, nor loathing, nor sense of gnawing at the stomach, nor any sent of the medicine remains. Then moderate refection with meat of good juice and easy digest may conveniently, and must necessarily be taken to refresh Nature. Yea 'tis a common practice (contrary to Avicen (Fen. 4. l. 1. doct. 5. c. 5.) to prescribe the taking of a Mess of thin Broth, after the first or second stool, to wash-down the Relics of the Medicine, to qualify the tedious qualities thereof, to comfort the stomach, and to promote the operation of the Physic.  
But this Ale is so mild and benign a Medicine, it may safely be admitted a nearer neighbour unto meals, though it hath no need of washing-downe by any other liquid means.  
For keeping the house; This Panala is physic fine custodia, never in respect of its own nature, confining the patiented to his Chamber, but be he of any indifferent hability of body, or that he entertain it for caution or prevention of sickness, he may in the daytime, when the weather is any thing temperate, either walk or ride abroad, or follow his necessary field-occasions. But if the day be immoderate in heat, cold, wet, or wind, common sense will tell every sensible man, that the strong ought not in the use of this nor any other purging Physic (how mildly soever evacuating) rashly expose his body (of which neither divine nor humane law permits to make wilful wrack) to the injury of such distempered Skies, and that keepe-within-doores is the safest and surest (and indeed necessary) guard for the crazy in such cases. For the humours stirred up and agitated by purge, are, in too hot seasons (which debilitate the strength, kindle hot diseases) more or less, according to the strong or weak working of the Medicine, either drawn to the Superfice or skin, (a contrary course) or else over heated, do kindle a Fever: thorough Cold they grow sluggish and dull, and slowly descend and pass thorough the straitened passages. The Air being very moist, in wet weather, passing into the body through the dilated Pores, loosens the same, and occasions defluxions, but a more vast and free Air, agitated with blustering winds, much trouble the Body with a shuffling confusion of the Humours, and cause difficult Purging.  
For Matter of motion: It is very requisite and convenient (viribus constantibus) to use moderate Exercise or Labour of the Body after taking the Potion to stir up and kindle the Fire of the Innatum Calidum (the mover of all Medicines and Causa sine qua, without which their spiritual faculties lie as it were consopited, and produce no good Action) and before meat an hour or more to further Concoction, Digestion, and Distribution of Viands, to restore and corroborate all the Corporal Faculties, and rectify the Actions of all the Senses, but with this Caution, that it be continued ad Ruborem only, in thin Textures of Body, lest it exhale, dissipate and spend the Spirits, and debilitate the Members, yet in strong corpulent and stuffy Contextures it may well be extended ad sudorem, and the rather if be not used till some two hours after taking the Medicine.   

CHAP. VIII.  
Of the divers and contemporary Operations of Panala.  
MVlta nescientes (saith Severinus Danus) de multis dubitare necesse est. From much ignorance must needs issue a numerous brood of doubts: But a Man, that will needs be a great Master in Physic, fears (or rather feigns, translating plain Cavil, main scruple,) the confused distracting of Nature with the various task of meat, and this medicine set to work, if not ta'en at one time, and the contemporary Operation of my Panala, from the Circumference to the Centre of the body by dejection or stool, and from the Centre to the Circumference by Evaporation or Sweat.  
Is it not Natures Innate Office and common Devoir together and at once to operate and produce multiplicious and various effects in our bodies, to incide, attenuate, deoppilate, to astringe and corroborate, to rarify the gross, deterge the tough, condensate the fluid and thin, to digest all Ingestions, and by separating the impure from the pure, to assign and distribute this for Nutriment to all parts of the body (how dissimilar soever in substance;) and that partly to sequester and send unto peculiar vessels and receptacles, and partly to amandate and expel by Stool, Urine, Sweat, and by sundry other ways, means, and Emunctories? Doth She not simul et semel, at the same time, and in the same Mesaraique Veins carry the Chylus from the Guts to the Liver, and the Blood from the Liver to the Guts?  
And the familiar benignity of Panala doth rather associate and sympathise with Nature in the diffusing and imparting of her salutary and wholesome Faculties, than any way affront or impeach their participation. For the contrary Qualities residing in one substance, worthy Fernelius saves my labour in his various attributes unto Guaiacum, which saith he, if any man marvel at, Veteres consulat Artis proceres, Let him advice and consult with the writings of the ancient great Masters of Physic, who have tried and approved One and the same simple and single Medicine to be endued with, and prevail in divers faculties, as of Heating and Cooling, or of Drying and Humecting, or of thin and gross parts, etc. And that this record of his may not to be thought to be confined to the first Qualities, heads; and except those primary Qualities, were confused and mixed together in one medicine, surely the secundary, which dimane and proceed from them, could not be likewise complicate in commixture. So Rhubarb, and Steel have divers parts deoppilative and astringent. Wormwood restrains Laxes, and relaxes bodies constipate, it heats the cold Liver, and by accident through opening Obstructions cools the Hot: Saffron congregates and contracts the Spirits too much diffused, and yet expanses and diffuses them where it finds them contracted. Aqua vitae cures Contusions and Burn: To conclude; is't not a common practice amongst the vulgar to help Hot griefs, with Hot means? Do they not cool Fever-heats with Hot purgers? Apply they not Wine and spirit of wine, to Heats and Inflammations of the Head? Yea, they fire out Fevers with Pepper, with Additament of Aqua vitae many times.  
But what will you say to Mercury, which is both moist and dry, the Hottest, the Coldest, and both rarefies and condensates: The Chemist calls him a true Healer, a wicked Murderer, the Tobacco of Minerals, Proteus, Magician, etc.  
But to the Doubt; how One and the Selfsame Medicine, should at one & the same time produce diverse effects of purging & sweeting. Quercetanus is so full and pregnant in this point, He may be instar ommum, and serve for a Sea of witnesses, for punctual resolution of the Quaere; Take therefore his Testimony in his Pharmacopoea, upon a Maceration or Infusion (nothing dissuiting this in the Genus) both Purgative and Sudative.  
Double Evacuations (saith He) are therefore at one and the same time (simul & semel) performed by one and the same remedy, which will seem strange unto some, as I myself, circumvented and transported with the same error, conceived before Experience (Rerum optima Magistra) taught & brought me into a contrary opinion.  
Nor is Forestus (in his Scholia upon his 20. Observation de Lue venerea) his disavow of this double Euacuation, to be taken absolutely for a general rule for the reason he alleages proves it not: Si multum sudet, non potest alvus fluere; si fluit alvus, non potest sudare; This multum surely caries no less relation unto the Flux than to the Sweat, to wit, meaning both to be profuse, and Magnos effatu dignos, so that profuse purging may suspend and minorate, but not supersede the sweat.  
And the same Author (Observ. 11.) approves and prescribes stronger Physic comprehending both purgative and diaphoretique Faculties in one Medicine, than this Panala is, with this Testimony of the double working of the same: Habebat plurimos secessus quotidie & subinde egregie sudebat; He had daily many Stools, and therewithal also sweat excellently well, and by these means was perfectly cured.  
But sweeting here by my Medicine exhales only the rarified Humours not attracting the Faeces to the Skin, but leaving them in Deposito within their peculiar Receptacles, to be in due time ejected. How can I then, without injustice deprive the remedy of its just rights, by injurious concealing its special Faculty of causing sweat, sith it doth with facility utramque paginam absoluere?  
To the Cumber or inconvenience of discovery or exposure of the open body to the cold Air by purging in Sweat; what great danger or do is it to convey a lined Bedstoole or warm Boll to the Patient, even in the heat and height of the Exhalation, which no man can truly conceive I intent should be profuse or excessive from Panala, because my declared aim in the dispensation, is at temperate moderation in all tne Evacuating Attributes I give unto it? And assuredly, whosoever, after his Morning-Stoole, sweats in bed with this Potion (made hot as it must be) may securely continue that Evacuation an hour or two (or more were it not too many at once) before he need fear or expect provocation to a Second Stool.  
If yet any Scruple chance to stick in some fond or froward Stomach, the Fund without Purgers will assuredly evaporate all such frivolous conceits from out his fancy; And the Second Infusion will reasonably work such like effects. But with which infusion soever you sweat, let the body be well cleansed with 4 or 5 days continuance of purging by stool, then take the morning potion sufferable hot, but in bed and after a stool, if it may be.   

CHAP. IX.  
Observations remarkable in the use and operation of the Ale.  
THat Physic works not alike in all Seasons and upon all subjects, common sense informs the most stupid poor Observer; but sometimes, though it be methodically ministered by a good Artist, the expectation is illuded by excessive or diminutive operation; nor is it a matter of facile disquisition to beat out and discover the certain reason of such incertainty. For some bodies, by a secret propriety of their own natures, are easily and plentifully purged with mild medicines, and others scarce moved with very strong Purgations.  
But of occult causes it is not pertinent nor fit, either to the place or my pen to discourse; only a Touch or two of others, because, though more evident, they are not so perspicuous or manifest to vulgar notion, but that they may necessarily admit some particular demonstration.  
The working of Cathartique medicines doth commonly vary (quoad majus & minus) according to the variation of Seasons, and the states and constitutions of men's bodies.  
For the first: The hot and dry season or disposition of the Air extracts, evaporates, and wastes much of the humours of the body, & by consequence debilitates the same, and leaves less matter to furnish forth copious deiections; nor is it fit for purging Physic which for most part heats and weakens.  
Cold weather and Northern wind contract and straighten the passages, bind the body, exiccate and thicken the humours, and make them rebellious, or less obedient at least, to Physic, which in these cases must needs be less copious in evacuation.  
South winds, moist Climates, and wet or Rheumatic weather, humect the body, loosen the humours, and occasion plentiful deiections upon due means.  
Moderate seasons, Southern wind, (not boisterous) and temperate Regions are most accommodate to Purgations for production of best operations.  
Touching the state of the Body; hot and moist constitutions with most ease and safety of all others do bear and obey Cathartique medicines.  
Hot and dry bodies purge sparingly for lack of matter and its unaptness to move, and must with caution be purged with well qualified means, lest they distemper with heating and drying; to meet with which inconvenience let such constitutions take this Potion a little before meals.  
The moist, the young, and those who are accustomed to a sedentary life, are easily moved by Purge, according to its strength and the Patient's ballast of humours and excrements; the like may be said of women, sith they ate usually of soft, lose, rare and patent textures, yet none of these accord with strong medicines, though pregnant women may in the third, fourth, and fift Months (the ligaments, by which the child adheres to the womb, being then more firm) admit of moderate evacuations in acute diseases attended with turgent matter.  
Robust strong bodies, and those that are enured to laborious living, and constitutions endued with obtuse sense of the parts, do slowly yield unto deiective means, yet may they safely suffer plentiful evacuations.  
Corpulent bodies likewise, though they easily endure purgations, do purge with some difficulty, because their constitutions are cold, their corporal passages strait, and their spirits but few, and those turbid and gross.  
The thin, the lean, and the temperate, are easily moved by Physic, yet purge but sparingly, because of the rarity of their textures and tenuity of their humours, nor are strong purges accommodated for them, by reason they weaken their languid virtue, and spend their dissipable spirits.  
Note further; that Plethorique, full and foggy bodies, whose vessels are stuffed with turgid illuvies of copious and restagnant Humours (whether congested by surfeit or other repletions) do many times, upon light and slight Purgations, pour one profuse and copious deiections, with much perturbation of the Bowels many times. For the redundant humours long penned up, and now finding the veins and vessels reserate, and the passages of export expansed by the purge, Qua data porta ruunt, rush and gush out (like liquor forth of a full cask pierced and vented) in copious flux, without any effrenate or unbridled force or effect of the medicine, but by reason that Nature, moving to expulsion, now thus a little inhabled doth deonerate and ease herself of over-burthens. For whilst Nature is vigorous, strong and sound, and mannages well her offices of government over our bodies, she excludes and drives out of them whatsoever is peccant and superfluous; but when she is overburdened and over-borne with abundance, she so attends and waits all occasions and opportunities of easement, that she apprehends many times the first and least hint of help, and joins her own forces with the foreign aid.  
Yet sometimes profuse deiections fall out contrary to Nature, when through imbecility of her regent and retentive faculty, she suffers defluxions.  
Or though she be more valid and strong, yet is she sometimes so much provoked and molested with the copy and acrimony of the humour, that she cannot retain it, but must even let and suffer it by its own force to sluice and break forth from out its vessels and receptacles.  
Both these evacuations are symptomatical, unnatural and useless, because the benign and salutary succi, together with the malign and pernicious, do promiscuously and irregularly, without any election, burst and rush out with violence.  
But these profuse evacuations, whether symptomatique or legitimate (exterminating only what's cumbersome, either in the kind or in the quantum) whether occasioned through disorder of the Patient, or proceeding from other causes (evident or occult) iumping and joining with the contemporary operation of a purgative medicine (though mild and moderate) cast foul aspersions upon the Physician, where concurring causes are nor well considered or not duly weighed of the censurer.  
To leave no colour of cavil to the carping Momus, and to meet with the many incomprehensible secrets shut up in Nature's closet; my Panala never astonishes her with sudden, nor debilitates with vehement assault, but gently assays her with medication of so mild allay and gradation, (facilitate non vi operando) that it may securely, without any endaingering the patiented, sound and search out the abstruse and unknown conditions of any constitution, even of the commoderate and soundest in integrity of sanitude, which according to Hypocrates (Aph. 3.37.) brooks not Purgations without difficulty and peril, because by setting upon the spiritual and balsamique Mumie, for want of vicious humours to work upon, they cause grindings in the guts, swoundings, vertiginous and other symptoms, and by continuance colliquation and consumption.  
Observe further; that after four or five days use of this Ale, much matter being therewith avoided, you cannot expect the daily continuance of like copious dejection, as you found at first (although by clearing some passages, which perhaps were blocked up before, the ways for free working become more patent) if you be temperate in meat and drink, and the time in wind and weather, except you extend the dose or draughts in taking larger proportions of the Medicine.  
Nor will the Second Ale, prepared by reinfusion of the same Fund or Bag, do much more, for matter of purging by stool, (though it will then effectually purge by urine) than keep the body soluble, by reason the purgative spirits of the ingredients, being more dissoluble and allective than the alteratives, will be well-nigh exhausted and drawne-out by former infusion.  
This orderly descent and passage, from purging by the first Infusion to mere solubility (which in most cases, will then be all-sufficient) by the Second, cuts off and prevents all occasions of constipation or costiveness (the usual subsequents to purgers) by continuing the cutting of humours, deoppilating of the vessels, and by still stimulating or soliciting the excretive faculty to the ordinate fit performance of its office. But the addition of two ounces of Seine with Rhubarb and Mechoacan, of each half an ounce, unto the ingredients in the bag, will now indifferently furnish the second Infusion with purgative faculties, and for the alterative, it retains sufficient force in the first Composition, as aforesaid.  
Note moreover, that in some cases, by competent continuance of this Medicine (as in other Dietetique Physic) there follow and are brought forth excellent fruits and effects of Alterative working in the Body, long after ending and giving-over the taking of the same, insomuch, that many time a month or more thence, you shall find much more fruit and benefit by it (without any evil Diathasis, or impression of disaffect contracted from the extended use thereof, than, during the continuance of drinking the Ale, you could well conceive, or by any probable conjecture from present perseverance, expect or propound unto yourself, provided, that you do not relapse through manifest disorder or gross distemper, the Patient's scourge, and the Physician's scandal.  
The reason of such Harvest of physical fruits in expectance and future, rather than in Present, may well be, that Nature, being kept in continual Action, and the Humours and Spirits in more motion than ordinary, by the daily use of the Potion (though gentle and moderate) the effects thereof cannot be so settled, nor so sensibly discerned, during the Machine of Medication, as it will be after some competent repose and Cessation from the purging, for composing all agitations. Besides that, the plenteous store of salutary spirits, derived from so excellent a potion by an extended course of drinking, diffused and impressed into all the parts & dimensions of the body, doth with the Opifique spirits of the body continue mutual cooperations, many days, or rather weeks, after the giving over of the Ale, to the perfect maturation of the fruits.   

CHAP. X.  
The excellent Virtues of Panala in General.  
PAnala is a true and perfect Medicamentum Alimento sum; ministering to the body both food and Physic: It is a legitimate Diacatholique, a general happy Purgative eliminating all humours offensive in quality or in quantity, but working most on the most redundant, in that they are most affluent to Electives, & most obedient to expulsives, though rebel tenants which Nature most endeavours to eiect, because they infest Her with more frequent and more mortal Duels then all foreign and other domestic Foes.  
It is a Generous and almost a General Universal Medicine, (not inferior to any galenical Physic whatsoever) happily performing all the parts of a good Preparative, Evacuative, and Alterative, and not a little participating of the Comfortative also, to the Natural, Vital and Animal parts, the Liver, Heart and Brain, and their Powers or Spirits, and, being compounded accordingly, it is a Benedict remedy for any infirmity or defect in a manner, even for Hunger itself, in that it participates of (if not exceeds) the Alimentary virtues of the Staff of Life, comforting the Stomach and nourishing the whole body.  
It Concocts crude and raw humours, cuts, liquifies, attenuates and makes the thick, the tough and Tartareous become pliant and obsequious to Nature: the attenuated, the concocted, the serous and watery it digests and consumes: it cleanses the Ventricle from slimy and Phlegmatic Crudities sticking to its rugosities and wrinklings, deterges the Lungs and Chest from viscous and putrid Humours, which, cleaving unto them and subsisting in the slender Branches of the Aspera Arteria, do obturate and shut up those strait passages and cause difficult breathing.  
It dissolves, dissipates and rids terrene and gravelly concretions, it deoppilates, opens and mundifies the Lungs, the Intestines, the Liver, the Spleen, the Reins, the Matrix, and all the vessels, Parts, and Passages of the body, even the neruall conduits of the spirits, and by these means makes excellent way for further workings, both of this same, and of other Medicines, by Stool, Urine, Evaporation, and other Operations.  
It gently, safely, effectually and most commodiously purgeth Choler, Phlegm, Melancholy, nor rudely, nor rashly rousing this sleeping Lion, (by agitating or stimulating the stubborn humour) from quiet Den to furious Do of daingerous dints, causing fearful Passions or grievous affects; so doth it also cleanse and carry forth all corrupt and putrid humours (Authors of worms and many other woes) with other peccant and superfluous contents, sincere and alone leaving the laudable for Nature's store.  
It is therefore more available for Longaevity & length of life, than exercise and sweat, for such moderate purges work chief upon the humours, whereas succulent juices and good Spirits (not easily repaired) together with humours and excrementitious vapours are exhaled and consumed by perspirations and sweats.  
Particularly, it purges (without perturbation or shuffling of humours) first of all the first region of the body, to wit, the Ventricle, the Mesaraicke veins, (those numerous roots of innumerable Symptoms, and Diseases) the Cavities of the Liver, the Milt, the Hypochondria, the mesentery and Pancreas, those two Sinkes and Swallows of all Illuvies and Impurities: yea, there is scarce any other Cathartique that doth so mildly and so powerfully draw forth and eliminate corrupt thick Humours; besides that by continuance and consecution it evacuates the other Regions, the Convex or outer parts of the Liver, the Vena cava & its Concomitant the Great Artery: and after its effectual expansure and purgature of the first two, it undertakes the third also (the Task of our Gigantine and most valid purgers) and effectually, by its propriety, promoted by extended perseverance, performs eradication of deepe-rooted Maladies from the Muscles, Membranes, joints, the remote Extremes and whole Moles and habit of the Body, thereby cutting off and curing many stubborn diseases able to bear the brunt of the strongest remedy.  
Ictibus innumeris cecidit Dodonia Quereus.  
The huge main Oak, which Cannon cannot downe,  
Hewed through with many strokes, strikes th'Earth with's Crown.  
Nor doth it evacuate the Body by Stool only, but it is likewise both Diuretique and Diaphoretique, dissolving & expelling serous thin humours, by urine, and by insensible Transpiration, (easily breathing forth rarified exhalations through the dilated Pores) and effectually causes Sweat being taken hot, (especially compounded without purgatives) and the Body well happened accordingly. For as it separates and eliminates Heteragene and superfluous Humours per secessum, by Stool, so doth it also therewithal, and by Evaporation evacuate Fumes and vapours of malignant quality and vicious condition, without expense of the Humidum radical, or Primigenium (the Foundation and food of Spirit and heat, and by consequence of Life and Being) thereby preserving Natures rich Treasures Corporal and Animal.  
It corrects and remedies Crudities, carminates Wind, and discusses flatuous discursions and wring in the body, stays vomitings by diversion, excites the Appetite, quenches Thirst, enlarges the pectorals, and causes easy Spitting.  
It cures long Fevers, Quotidians, all Intermitters and pestilentialls, the Green Sickness, (Albas' virginum Febres) Cachexias and all lent, tough and lingering Infirmities, bred of the impurity of the Viscera or of inveterate obstructions.  
It deoppilates and extenuates the stuffed and distented Spleen, abates obese and corpulent Bodies, and is very conducible for exhausting and curing of all Distillations and defluxions to any part: It is available for Toothache, Inflammations of the Eyes, Wula, and Almonds of the Throat, for the vertigo, and all infirmities of the Head, womb and Bladder, both new and old; for all Cephalique Dolours and disturbances through fumes and vapours, and for all Fluxes, Dropsies, and the Falling Evil.  
It helps all Colds, Coughs, Asthmaes, or difficult breathe, the jaundice black and yellow; Ill habits of the body, Putrefactions, hard Tumours, and all other swellings, wand'ring pains, stinging and fixed Aches; the Colic, the Stone, all Gouts, both the running and the impacted, hot and cold, Palsies and all ill-affections of the Sinews. It helps Salt Rheums, Itches, Scabs, Byles, Botches, the Scorbuto, the lepry, and other contagious Maladies, and the cure of all curable wounds and ulcers, (inward and outward) with many other defects and deformations Intus & in Cute. Foetet anima? deformat Hircus? Make Panala thy sweet Companion if thou hopest for help.  
It rectifies the Stomach and erecting the Digestive Faculty, furthers the Concoction & Distribution of meat, comforts the Lungs and all the pectoral parts, corroborates the heart, strengthens the Liver, purifies it and the whole Mass of Blood, and breeding laudable Chylus, impinguates squalid and starveling Bodies, by inhabling them in future to become fat or fair and much better-liking.  
It clears the Sight, flories the Complexion, cherries the pallid Cheek, quickens the Memory and all the Senses, Internal and Externall, refocillates and exhilarates the Mind and Animal Faculties, incites and enhables furtherance to conception, nourishes and maintains the Balsamique Mumie of the Body, increases youthfulness, and retardates and keeps back the approach and seizure of Old Age.  
For the frequent use of evacuating and emaciating diets is a special mean to promote Prolongation of Life, for that after them, the body becomes plump fair and almost new, through pure sound flesh, with restauration of youthful vigour in some degree, as Oxen wrought lean, regain the flesh of young beefs by good pasturage.  
Touching diseases which are wholly Incurable, or those whose legitimate cure is very perilous, this Panala is a most approved help producing such salutary fruits of Palliation, (the securest and most commendable course of medication in such cases) as exceed all expectation; for without any danger and encumbering Do of daily newed dispensings, it alleviates and mitigates all Symptoms of the sickness, which disturb the Patient, if he be but patiented, to persevere in competent continuing the Potion.  
By dissolving coagulate blood, it discusses and scatters inward contusions, and preserves the body from putrefaction, and other perilous Symptoms.  
Some men may perhaps expect I should capitulate and evidence all the particulars, and instance both the persons and infirmities, aswell touching their Symptoms, as the mediate operation of Panala, for abandoning or abating at least of their baynings or oppressing burthenings. This I grant had not been impertinent to the work, but, were I so punctually satisfactory, I should doubtless of many people be branded for a Matchless Mandevill in Hyperbolising, maulger the magnific good applause of Myriad of Patients, extolling it beyond the furthest extent of my praising Attributes to the operation of its Mechanic Spirits. To avoid such Stygmatique Rasures, and that my intended Manual (of both parts) might not grow voluminous in tedious Instances (which might perchance incur, with others suspect of fiction and imposture) I propounded to myself, rather than to press too much upon provoked patience, cursorily to point at particulars for the present, well knowing that a word is enough to a man of good meaning, especially if any thing versed in Physic (though such have most cause of cavil at this Medication which benefits the Patient, but brings little or no profit to the Physician and Apothecary,) for he will easily grant, that such a Remedy may well be available in all diseases save in Nude distempers sine materia, which are seldom found in our cold and full-feeding Climates, yet such may easily be met withal by this medicable Potion.  
For as all Geometrique Figures, may be measured by Triangle, so all Infirmities material and immaterial, may be medicated by Panala: Will you have an excellent Restorative for Consumptions and Bodies emmaciate and spent with long lingering sicknesses? the Bag compounded without Purger with the Ingredience of meat of nutrient juice, perboiled until the blood be in effect decocted away, and minced very small both flesh and bones, presents you with a cup little inferior in degree to a Chylus, which shall exceed all other preparations of food for easy digestion, fine and facile diffusion into the veins and members and for copious Nutrition with least quantity of excrementitious Relics. To conclude; 
Wouldst lumpish Melancholy medicate,  
And gloomy Fumes at once evaporate?  
My Strains cross canvased by brisk-witty Critics,  
Change Moods dull-moody to cheer'd-merry Crickets.    

CHAP. XI.  
Of the excellent cautionary virtues of Panala.  
NAture, the best Moderatrix of man's livelihood, not ignorant, that Praecavere Morbis quam curare melius est, that mature prevention of maladies is better than the best medication for cure, (Magis quippe optandum est, omnino non pati, quàm à passionibus liberari,) duly aims by daily endeavours to constitute and continue the body temperatum ad pondus, (as in Man's first creation) that it may be entire and perfect in state of health to the last period of life, or at least to conserve the same in such latitude of sanitude as it was produced.  
As therefore every intelligent and industrious Hortulan is ever carefully curious in diligent clearing and curing his Plot of irregularities, superfluities, weeds, incumbers and undue Ballasts, and of storing and furnishing it with all commendable and necessary accommodates: So prudent and provident Nature, administering all things the best she can, doth still, without intermission, moliri and labour the excretion and quitting the Body of all excrementitious, superfluous and peccant Humours and Contents, with the supplying of all defects, and reforming of all deformations, which good effects could she always happily attain unto and accomplish, according to her intention, there should never need any Physical means to rectify the state, or preserve the health of the Body.  
But the rebellious quality and over-maistring quantity of many potent opposites, together with the repugnance of stubborn and obstructed parts and passages (contracted many times by erring or undue deviating from the right administration or due manage of the Six Non-naturalls) doth often delude and frustrate these her careful intendments of their worthy ends.  
Now this noble medicine, a most singular instrument of Physic, (Nature's Hand maid) powerfully oppugnes and resists her opposites, and joining with her in her salutary designs subdues and reduces them to her obedience, reserates the ports and passages of the body, and amandates and expels whatsoever is adverse or incongruent, and by consequence diverts a world of diseases, and conserves the health in good latitude.  
A boisterous rousing Purge, like a rude Ramp that rashly pluckes-up the Herbs with the Weeds, shuffles all sorts of Humours into confusion, and promiscuously with much violence to Nature eliminates and voids both good and bad, as well Euchimique Balsamaries as Cacochymique Bayners, whereby Nature is defatigated and debilitated, and the state of the body much endamaged.  
But mild Panala, like a discreet Damsel, which preserves wholesome Herbs, and weeds-up hurtful Weeds, doth by easy degrees gently, pleasantly, and safely, (nor over-heating the body, nor perturbing the Patient) raise and remove the entrenched enemy, and disburthens Nature of sincere and mere peccant Humours, thereby preserving the succulent and salutary juices entire and exempt both from evacuation and from incident corruption and infection, which would necessarily be contracted by their continued mixture with the unnatural, if still retained.  
To give some particular instances for the necessity and use of this preventing Physic, give me leave here, more fully than before, to present unto your view and consideration the three Grandee Colonels which usually with their many troops of Miscreants assault and batter our Bulwarks of Health, against all whose infesting forces Panala is furnished with such munition, that all their mischievous machinations and designs, to demolish and ruinated the whole fabric of Man's Edifice, are countermined, dashed and disanuld.  
The three Chieftains encamping against our Citadel, are Crudity, Rheum, Obstruction, and under their Colours Bands of Sicari●, bloody Bandits, do bandy themselves to bane our Bodies at least, yea many times with stupendious tortures they distune and destroy the Heavenly Harmony of the Soul.  
Under Crudities Colours are encamped Cachexiaes', Hydropical Diseases, Oedemata or phlegmatic and serous Swell, flatuous discursions, and painful wring in the Ilia and Colon, the Lienterie or flux of Excrements and indigested viands, with many other great and long griefs; Imo, Cruditas assidua Mater est omnium ferè aegritudinum Materialium.  
Those who live not orderly (sobriè) do daily, according to Lessius, in his Hygiasticon, make some additament of Crude Humours, which attracted into the veins & diffused into the whole moles and bulk of the Body, as into a Sponge, (to the quantity of 100 Ounces in one year,) do in tract of time putrify and breed mortal diseases, which cut off most men before their time. For almost all that die of sickness before Old Age dye of this Cause.  
Amongst all sicknesses marching after Crudity I beg licence not to forget that numerous File of secret, but forward foes, Serpentine Worms, those treacherous underminers of our Microcosmique Castle, which come for most part of crude, superfluous Chylus, and ravening for the like become Robbers of Rest, Restauration and Life itself.  
These petty, puny Pigmies (subterranean spirits bred of Corruption and humid Heat) these pernicious pioneers and pyners of the Body, feed-on, devour, and consume the good juices provided to nourish and maintain the whole Bulk, which having the convoy of Nourishment continualll cut-off, doth necessarily become lean, meager, and misliking, and the Appetite many times insatiable, by reason the famelique or esurient spirits are robbed of the foizon of food, which the Mechanic should worke-on to furnish all the parts with congruent and competent food.  
Oftentimes the nutrient Succi being incompetent to satiate and glut their numerous Gorges, they molest and torment the intestines (the very Beds they were bred in) with corrodant sucking, cause the Colic, pains like to the Hypochondrique flatus (the Girdle of the Spleen) flux of the Bowels, Distension and Inflation of the Belly, and diverse times stupendious passions, and in fine, most dolorous death by perforating and eating-thorough the Guts.  
Though therefore these Lumbrici, bred and nourished in the small Guts (especially) of the Chylous juices, being crude and pituitous, do oft continue and quietly contain themselves therein a long time, in some bodies, without any manifest damage or inconvenience, and at length, sans former discovery, cure or care, descend with the excrements into the Crassa Intestina, and are with the same from thence ejected and cast out by stool, yet oftentimes in their hungry hunting after food they ascend, creep and crawl up into the Ventricle, (yet sometimes produced there of putrid Ballasts) defatigate and tyre the Stomach with tiring, pulling and lugging, hinder concoction, cause much Dolour, Nauseam and loathing of Meat, Dry Cough, Thirst, Hickup, Vomitings, and various other violent and perilous accidents, and by gnawing, crawling about & pestering the Mouth of the Stomach, make difficult swallowing, and worse Symptoms.  
Yea, so woefully fatal are these accursed Miscreants many times to our weal, that they wreck us in their own wracks; for lying dead in the Bowels, till they be putrified, they send up stinking vapours, and malignant fumes, which affect and infect both Heart and Head, causing Suffusions and Cataracts in the Eyes, Falling Evils, Alienation of the Mind, Palpitation of the Heart, Faintings, Swoonding, Cold and ill-sented Sweats, inordinate Fevers with horror and rigour, Trembling and dissolution of the Body, Convulsions and other fearful Symptoms, and other Concomitants of daingerous consequence. This multiplicious Band of baneful Miscreants are the most timous and frequent infesters of the Body's fabric, not only assaulting tender Infancy and Childhood, but even setting upon Manhood also, with their pestiferous Troops of Torturess which are many times found to swarm in malignant Fevers. And I hold it very probable, that the untimely Death of most Children, may truly be attributed to Worms, and other dints and effects dimaining from such superfluous and crude Indigestions. But this danger (saith Lessius) by well purging the body yearly at Spring and Fall, is prevented, and the Life produced to very Old Age.  
For Children therefore and all Students and others of small exercise or ill Diet, it is most requisite to use such temperate Evacuation every year at such times, and for all others against every Climaterique or Seventh and Nynth year, according to the Counsel of Taisnerus, from Marsilius Ficinus, showing that by help of Astrology and Physic, natural Death may be deferred. Sed haec parerga: These worms have made me wove too large a Web of course raw Thread: therefore no more of Colonel Crudity.  
Rheum musters Inflammations of the Eyes, of the Almonds, of the Throat, of the Vunla: the Angina, Toothache, pains in the Ears, and others parts of the Head, Coughs, griefs and weakness of the Stomach; Excoriations, and Apostumes of the Lungs, Liver, Reins and Bladder, stabbing Pleurisies, pining Consumptions, Fluxes of the Belly; the Colic and the Sciatica, Gouts of divers sorts, and Tumours against Nature: deafness and Blindness, Palsies and mortal Apoplexsies.  
For this Distillation (Catarrbus, deflluxion, or falling of supervacuous humours from the Head into the subjected parts) yssuing from the ventricle of the Brain, and from its Convex and encompassing Meninges when 'tis more exuperant into the Inwards of the body, stirs up diverse mischiefs in our Microcosm: For rushing into the Roots or Originals of the Nerves, it causes Stupors, Tremble, Palsies, and Apoplexies: into the Organs of the Senses, it causes tabring in the Ears, and dulness of Hearing, and Dimness of Sight: into the Nose, Stuff and loss of Smelling; into the jaws and rough Artery, Cough and Hoarseness; into the Lungs, the Asthma and Consumptions; into the Ventricle, Crudity and Indigestion; into the Intestines, Flux of the Bowels, and from hence if it insinuate itself into the Liver-veines (by the Mesaraicks) it thickens there and stuffs both veins and vessels with Obstructions. Sometimes it sallies and comes from without and above the Cranium or Skull, especially from under the Skin of the Crown (where the Extremes of the veins, creeping and carried by and thorough the face and forehead or Temples, are bestowed and terminated in and about the Vertical point) and then it passes and disperses into the eyes, into the Mandibles, the Teeth, the Neck, the Shoulders, Arms, Sides, Back, Loins, Hyps, Thighs, and in conclusion into all the joints; insomuch that all Arthritique and almost all Externall pains dimane from this Outward Defluxion.  
The last, not the least of the Three-Chiefetaines is Obstruction, a Potent Foe, vigilant in his designs and never unfurnished of one Machine or other, Fireworks, water-works, and other Munition.  
The Liver is a main mark of his Aim, both because it furnishes all parts with provision, and for that it lies open to his Batteries, by reason, that the numerous derivation of Venulae, both from the Port and Hollow-veine (through which two all the alimentary juices have their Passages) is in most exile and slender branchlets (apt to be oppilated and stopped with viscid Humours) dissipated and obliterated into the substance of that Pareuchyma.  
Here he commands over Scirrhosities, hard Swell, Inflammations (to the fortifying of the Liver sometimes) Fevers, Fluxes, jaundice; There Hydropique, Cachectique, Cachochymique affects, Green Sickness, and other Discolorations, putrefaction of Humours, and Atrophia (snaily extenuation or slow pining away of the body) with Batteries many more.  
Now he levels at the Gall, turns the contained Choler to stony concretion, and diverts the affluent to the diffusion of auruginous Tinctures.  
Hemorrhages and natural Evacuations of Blood are suppressed in both Sexes through his designments upon the great veins, and upon the Mesaraiques, the Hemorrhoids are stopped, and Melancholic and feverous affections set to broach.  
By setting upon the Mist, He obfuscates the Mind with colid fumes, col●●quates and wastes the Body and defaedates the skin.  
By attempts in the Intestines, he hurts the Digestion (occasioning crudity of Stomach) and hinders Ejection: sometimes though seldom he indurates and even lapifies the Phlegm heaped up in the Cells of the Caecum and Colon, but many times stirs up and raises stupendious windy Passions in the Ilia and greater guts, as if he meant by Mines to blow up the main bulwark with violent blasts.  
For impeaching the free Convoy of the Spirits by obstructing their Conduits the Nerves and thereby mustering-up Suffusions of the Eye, Palsies, Convulsions, Apoplexies, Epilepsies or the like; because it may be controverted, whether the inrolment of these belong to this Band or to some Regiments mustering-up malign vapours, or other hostile means, I leave it to the subtle disputes of deeper strains.  
But I may not omit his obturating or contracting the Pores of the skin (whether by mustering the cold and open ambient Air against the Main, or by calling-in some airy or windy Percolation against any one Member) whereby excrementitious matter rarified into fuliginous vapours for exhalation and evaporation is reverberated and driven back again. For this Reverberation shuffles the Humours and the Spirits, into confused Combustions, and all the Intrinsicke Faculties into mutinous and tumultuous Routs to the grievous pervert and great disturbance of the Oeconomie of the Microcosm and many times to the utter subversion and ruin of the Fabric. Besides; who hath not heard of the Holland Balive & of the Bailiff of the Hundreds (Popular Agues, Plagues of those parts) how frequently they infest these Fenny & Moorish Flats? Neither of these walks (and they are ever restless) his Perambulation (chief the Autumnal) but he's furnished with a thousand Warrant Dormants, to attach with Arrest that will daunt the daring courage of the stoutest Heart with shivering cold, and trembling rigour; yea, more, before he leave fingering him on whom he once fastens his hold, he will amate his manhood, melt his marowie and brawny strength, and pour out his haughty Spirits in sordid Sweats. And doth the Upland Countries scape and go Scot free from such bainfull Arrests? show me the Town can truly tell and avow it smells not of the Summons of a Triennial Visitation (at least) by some Epedimique Disease or other? If the black Ague (so the Country calls her frequent but unwelcome guest, Synochum putridam malignan) the Measils', small Pocks, Tertian or Quartan fever will be sure to have a fling amongst them: And few or none go about to ask or once to question them, but let them pass impune as too potent or too masterfull to be dealt withal. For all these miscreants this mild medication is a dainty & deliver Supersedeas, to prevent the Arrest, & seldom fails of an authentic Liberate, to deliver from all dures of such felon faitors. Nay, though he's no right Errand nor a true Arrant Bailiff, that love's not a Cup of nappy Ale, yet whosoeuer's perfumed with a Fortnight-sent of my Ale, he's sped of a Spell that will not fail to fright-away all such Miscreant spirits from nearer approach.  
For noble Panala (Penthesilea like armed at all points) passing corporally by veins and other vessels, and spiritually by invisible Perspirations into all the members and dimensions of the body (per totum transfluxilis et perspirabilis) tufts and hunts out all superfluous and vicious contents, and serrits them forth from out their lurking Holds and Dens, by means whereof no matter being left for putrefaction nor for obstruction, the whole body actuates in free perspirability, and the Calidum Innatum, no way obrute but freed from extinction, yields to no foreign contagion, nor stoops to inbred corruption, but stoutly and strongly marches against, encounters, foils and eliminates all malignities. For by attenuating, absterging and evacuating, it quits all the material causes of those and other morbosities, intercepts and cuts-off their convoys of Munition (whether consisting in vicious or superfluous Humours, indisposition or excess of nutrient ivices, or other contents, or straightness of the passages) and by rectifying and roborating the principals, remedies the distemper and imbecility of the parts, and diverts or quashes their mischievous designs, and lastly by congruent association to Nature and by equable and proportionate contrariety to Sickness, it conserves and maintains the state of the Body in good latitude of Health, repels incongruent diseases, and effectually repairs lapsed and impaired sanitude.  
Such and so manifest, with many more, howsoever these attributes may seem to many men to be too many, are the virtues and effects of this duly composed and truly impregnated Panala, especially if it be (as it always aught to be) ministrred Medica manu, quae universalia particularibus, ordinata & rationali methodo, accommodata, adhibet; otherwise, it is (like every other Medicine) but a Carver's tool in a Carters hand, whose wooden workmanship quickly mars, but never makes a good Sculpture. 'tis not the instrument but the knowledge and dexterity of the Artist, which makes-up the Masterpiece in every Artifice: Argus his ears had kept-open his eyes to keepe-on his head, if better fingering than Parts rude handling, though upon Apollo's Harp, had not charmed them with harmonious melody to betray their double charge.   

CHAP. XII.  
Of the cheap and pressed accommodations of Panala.  
MAny irrational creatures, led by the mere Instinct of Nature, do, upon occasion of need, betake themselves to th'use of medicinable means for recovery of health and cure of hurts: But Man, illuminated with the Divine Beams of a reasonable Soul, is many times (more than only the hominum vulgi) much more sottish and more absurdly conceited in this kind, than mere bruits, (Birds, Beasts, Fish, Reptilia & Insecta etiam) which we know do usually use (with much labour many times to find or fetch) Physical helps for their hurts and infirmities, where he is so fare from the entertain of the Practice or approve of the Art, that he condemns the sacred ordinance, which God himself created (and gave to our first Parents) divine Oracles so much and so oft commend, and profane Authors of all sorts (Philosophers, Historians, Orators, Poets) callaud; in so much that Donzellin holds them worthy to be abandoned of all mankind (Anticyras relegandos) which dare seens sentire, entertain an ill thought of it, and doubtless would hold him unworthy the comfort of any creature that should collinire brand or besmear this heavenly gift of the Creator with the foul clouted term of Imposture or juggling. Yet for all this fond fancy against Physic, the silliest Man of a million, when he sees his jade tainted with the Yellows, or his Beast infected with the Murrain, will haste for help to some Horseleech, and count it frugality, and good gain too, to recover a Carthorse with a Crown cost (sometimes) in hope to recover ten. Oh, but to bestow five shillings in Physic upon his own karcasse, 'tis a peslance expense, the quarter charge will go fare in Ale-berries and Cawdles, and a few pence will furnish the whole Many with Treacle and Aquavitae: if these and a peppered Possill with a Head-bind help not, then farewell my neighbour Hidebound, he'll rather dye thrice, than deal once with other Drugs than such as his Maud can mash, and his forefathers used to meddle with for their Medeale.  
Thus many people, even whole Myriads of Men, through their superstitious adversnesse against Physic, or penurious peddling with paltry trash, or idle tempering with tinkerlie Physmicaries', do ordinarily, in their penny wise wisdoms, exhaust and consume both Body and Goods in long languish, which might have been easily remedied and redeemed by the timous counsel of an honest Artist.  
For instance; Is it not a world of wonder, to see, what palpable poor neglect is commonly cast-upon the curative care even of Fury Fevers, chief quartans? doth not almost every Man (though nigh mated with stupendious symptoms and passions) feed his fond fancy with this Selfe-soothed Sooth-say, 'tis but an Ague and must have the Course; Incursu nimirum suo Quartanam non esse impediendam, this misconceived Tenet must blanche and roborate their sorry Conceits, which further also to colour, one foists a piece of Piso, snatched from the Sequence, for his plea, and boldly avows from Hypocrates, that of all Fevers the Quartane is the easiest and the safest, and vindicates from other great Diseases, as Convulsions and Epilepsies. Another dights-up Auisoes Door with the Dingdong Proverb, Pro Febre Quartana ràrò sonat Campana, He flatly tells you, the Bell seldom tolls for a Quartane, never considering that Erratic and Quotidian Agues derived from gross and pituitous Humours, putrifying (whether turning atribilary or otherwise) do for most part turn Bastard-Quartanes, and that quartans concomitant with vicious Liver and other vessels ill affected do often lapse the Loath-Physick into Scyrrhosities of Liver, Spleen, Reins, and breed Dropsies, jaundice, Hypochondriaque Melancholy, or some other scurvy Disease, of which ever and anon diverse are dropping away, or else drooping in desperate languish, to teach them and all such Selfe-soothing heretics in this kind, that this Opprobrium Medicorum (the Quartane) springing from the impatience of inconstant Patients, nor brooking nor abiding any regular course for due cure, can quickly turn to a sharp and a tough Scourge to school them with a Pay-Home by attorney, shall make them cry peccavi for so fond slighting salutary Caves and medicinable Cautions for due Cure.  
These Men are no marks for the bend of my aims, I am well contented my Composition suits none of their humours; why should a man study the cure or the care of them, who are so careless of themselves? Fatuitatis suae poenas luent, let them reap the rotten-ripe bitter fruits of their own follies, and post to anticipated ends before their times for contempt of the means, or lingering miserably dye to save charges, if it be saving to be disabled, by long languors, of following their Callings which call for their personal manage, without medication, for most part, very slowly made compatible.  
For such as blow-up Trifle-Fees with turgid put-off of wind-puft Compliment, let their empty bladders freely float-on their dunghill puddles and turn airy Bubbles, till their glitterand selfe-swolne greatness, with the Lance of inward Pride (not of my Pen) burst into Hally-water to besmear their brows in their base bows to Mammon.  
For those who once assured of cure, by honest care of the careful Physician, do strait grow sight-sicke, eare-sicke, thought-sicke of him, and in stead of remunerating his merits, do nauseate his Face, Name, Memory; let their penance be daily to be versed in public profession of this fourfold version, till shame, conscience, or dread of Duel with the last aversion, work his conversion from penurious baseness.  Deus. 
Umh nigris aegrum propè Mors circumu●lat alis  
Funestamque aciem funera jamque parat,  
Tum me promissis beat & domus omnis adorat,  
Meque salutiferum clamitat esse Deum.  Angelus. 
Paulò ubi convaluit, paulum de numine nostro  
Cessit, & in nostris auribus ist a sona●●,  
Tu Caelo nobis demissus es Angelus alto,  
Praemia quae vestri quanta laboris erant?  Homo. 
jamque Machaonia magis & magis arte levatus,  
Cum sedet ante focum progrediturque tripes,  
Oh Homo non frustrà, tantos subijsse labores  
Nosces, quod restat tu modò tolle malum.  Daemon. 
Ast ego, si penitus jam sanum praemia poscam,  
Ille Deus pridem, mox Cacodaemon ero;  
Aurea verba volant, mala vox cirūvolat aureis,  
Limine me, torvo lumine, pellis onus.  
I have transformed the last lines of the Doctor's gradarie Disreguard, and translated it thus; God. 
Whilst o'er thy down-sick Head pale Death doth hover,  
And's eager Stoops to truss thy Soul affright thee,  
Fair Heights of Bounty bless Me, all do honour,  
All Deirie, all God of Health do height Me.  Angel. 
Straight as thy State to better plight inclines,  
I'm styled an Angel sent from Heaven to cure Thee,  
My Deity to Demi-God declines,  
Yet o, what golden words thou giv'st t'allure me!  Man. 
Still, as thy strength doth wax, my worship wanes,  
Chair, Staff and Stomach, all things gi'en to ease thee;  
Good Sir now sayest, yet happy are thy pains,  
Root out the Relics and I'll richly please Thee.  Devil. 
But to full freedom bailed from bayn-full Evil,  
If then my careful Visits speak due prize,  
Godhead, Gold-Heights forgot, thou dubst me Devil  
And (●●●●uie) conjures forth with toruie Eyes.  
Thus, whom with painful Care J'ue cured my Patient,  
The Sick this must I personate, turn Patient.   
To meet with some misconceiving of better minded people, who, willingly embrace God's Ordinance, and the use of ordinary means of cure by Physic, but not well apprehending, heeding or remembering their directions for usage of the medicines prescribed or given unto them, wrong themselves and cross the Physician in their preposterous applications, I have selected and settled upon the composition of Panala, the prescript of whose Administration and usage is so plain and familiar, no man, of any brain, need fall into any misprise or mistake, much less commit the palpable gross Errors, which many run into in most other medicable courses, in which every Practitioner finds mistake to be as usual as Eating and Drinking. Here's one champes his Pills, and for disgust spits them out with an out, out, another stuphes or baths with his potion, a Third drinks his Clister-stuffe, or eats his Suppository; and there's one turns Electuaries to unguents, Injections to Gargarisms, & vice versa; but he that's so wary, he will not turn th'other furnishment to the Task of his Teeth, yet mistakes the morning-Draught for the Evenings, and either doubles or divides th'appointed Doses. But in th'use and pursuit of Panala, there are nor curiosities, nor varieties of the Medication, to beget misprisions, only a constant Course, without any Cumber, to drink a Cup of Ale twice or thrice a day, as is showed Cap. 5. & 6.  
Panala also happily prevents and cuts off the fond irresolution which ordinarily possesses many Patients, who having taken a Dose or two of any Prescript, and not finding manifest present-ease thereby, do strait entertain a strong and a resolute abandoning of all further progress in Physic, when that they took was perscribed but in Nature of a preparative to the main Intention, either only to prepare the vessels or the Humours, or to comfort the Spirits, and enable Nature to hold out for the cure. For coming in the Port and customable Habit of mere Ale or common Drinks, what Man amongst a Million will be so wilful or inconsiderate, as, having past the Pikes of payment and preparation of the Potion, that he will ever entertain a thought of refusing or giving over so pressed, so familiar and so friendly a Companion, before the last Cup conclude and strike the parting blow of a comfortable kind Farewell? And the resolved Patient by constant persevering in propining and following the Medicine, may with good assurance propound and promise to himself truly to reap the ripe and wholesome fruits of the principal Intention by beneficent Medication, which so many daily miss of through impatient and preposterous haste to reach and reap them before Maturity.  
For those therefore that in Heart do honour the honest physician as the Instrument of God, ordained for their Health, and like good Tenants for Term of Life carry conscionable minds, to keep the Edifices of their Bodies committed to their care and custody, in good and sound plight, and to repair dilapidations and decays respectively, although perhaps neither very able to bestow much cost, nor in case to spare much time in Quest and pursuit of such their care, have I published the benific operation of this most accommodate Medicine, that I may in some reasonable measure gratify such their ingenuous respects: And for further gratification, I have at all times Funds or Bags of the Ingredients in readiness made up complete (as well without purgatives, as with them) and fitted for Infusion.  
The Bag is portable (in pocket or otherways) many Hundred Miles, and durable in full vigour and virtue, thirty or forty days at least, yea many Months, being made up without Raisins, so that any man may furnish himself therewith in his travel or otherwise, and at his pleasure and leisure, when he comes home, infuse and use it without Curiosity or Encumber.  
For the Body thereof, let that be no Burden of Imputation to any Impeach of the Reputation, seeing, as I have said, it supersedes the Additaments which many famous Medicines of other Forms need Bodying with all for apt taking and vehieulation, in that being composed into potable Liquor, impregnated with the Essential parts and Spirits (no whit evaporated with foreign heat) of every Ingredient diffused in and incorporated with ordinary Drinks, there can be no vehicle or better Convoy of medicinable qualities into the Members & Remotes of the body. The purchase of Panala is too cheap for so precious a medicine; for the price is but five shillings (with directions for the use) and the same serving for two Gallons of Ale will furnish two Patients for seven, or One 14. day's Physic, as aforesaid: so that a man may have two Doses or Draughts for a Tester, which in other Medications is commonly doubled and many times trebled for one Purge: but compounded without purgers, you have it for the moiety of the charge, and this makes a most delicate Drink (of like quantity) of much more true worth than Bragat or Metheglin.  
Panala also supersedes and saves the charge of preparations, for cutting of humours and of vehiculums, for diffusion and carriage into all parts of the body, both which helps are necessarily required in most other sorts and forms of Physic. Besides that, this sparing or temperate Diet, requisite in the use hereof, saves more money in meat and Drink, than the cost this Physic comes unto: and for the second Infusion of the same Bag, it lasts no less time, and costs nothing you know but new Raisins, and Ale, yet is it of excellent use, either for Meale-Drinke in th'use of th'other, or after th'other is spent for rectifying and confirming the State of the Body. For the new and Nude Infusion compounded without Purgers, the proportion finds a man altering Physic for a matter of two pence per Diem, (besides Ale) except it be made a Meal-drinke, which in most cases is needless.  
Touching the Time taken-up in continuing the take of this Physic, I may say, Sat cito, ut sat scite, fit Medicatio, quae sat been: Good speed is evermore best speed. But this salve may well be saved, here's seldom any Soare to need it. For in Cautionare courses, for Prevention of Infirmities, it spends time, but loses none, because it interrupts no business, save when the inclemency of the Heavens give Caveat of Keepe-in, to avoid the injuries of ill weather, which no wise man will upon any Natural Flux expose his body unto: and in the Arrest of Sickness 'tis the Infirmity, not the Physic, that detains him within Doors, not so much for shelter and covert from the frowns and worse effects of the Sky, as for the necessitated Dures enforced by the Disease: beside, that if urgent occasions call forth into intemperate weather from Cautionary courses, he may intermit a day or more, as in Cap. 6. is laid down.  
Nor doth the medicine given over, or ended after moderate continuance, constipate or leave the body Costive, over-dryed, heated, debilitated or exhausted of Balsamique ivices, nor affected with any distemper, ill Impression or depraving affects contracted or dimaning from the same (as is already declared Cap. 9) but well disposed, vigorous, active and full of Spirits.  
He that is any thing versed in the Practic of Physic, may easily observe and find, that Nature evermore best accords and cooperates with Medicines which aggrate and oblectate the Senses, but shows herself averse in refractory reluctation against the displeasant, so that even Stomatiques, given for comfort and fortification, if they be very ingrate, do bring forth little Good, but in stead of subvening and helping, they subvert and hurt the Ventricle: what fruit then can be expected from Physic, whose Disgust and averseness to Taste and Stomach breed●s that nauseous loathing in Nature which perverts her operative Faculties in all parts of the Body?  
Best practitioners therefore, to prevent all incongruences, and to gratify the patiented, do clarify, colour, edulcorate, acidulate & aromatize Syrupes, julapes, Apozemes, Electuaries, and other Forms of physic, respectively, palliating pills with gilding, when they cannot palliate their bitterness. For when familiar Objects delight the Eye, recreate the Sensory of smelling, please the palate, comfort the Stomach, and exhilerate the Heart, (that Fountain of Life,) they Sympathyze and side with Nature, elevate the Spirits, stimulate and stir up the languishing Appetite, rouse her drowsy Forces and Faculties (vital and Animal) sopite in sickness, and resuscitate and refresh the Native Heat which alone concocts, digests and calms Diseases, and by extenuating the Thick, and cleansing the viscous Humours, and by expediting Obstructions, faciliates and promotes the operations both of Food and physic, insomuch that purges compounded of some Ingredients which of themselves would subvert or disturb the Stomach, if they be condited, corrected and accommodated with good Aromatics, they are little or nothing offensive to the principal parts, and more safely purge excrementitious Humours by Stool, as also by vomit respectively.  
My care therefore was so to compound my Panala, that besides the little Cost and less Cumber, it neither offends the Eye with the loathed Object of a muddy substance, nor the smell with ill vapour or savour, nor palate nor ventricle with disgust or ingrate Relish, but it is a depured, clear, sweet, delicate and singular Extract impregnated with the succulent juices, sincere Spirits and singular Virtues of Specifique Ingredients. Moreover, 'tis of a moderate Temperature indifferently accommodable to every Age, Sex, and Constitution, and so familiar and pleasing to the Sight, Smell, Taste and Stomach, and so conformable to the principal Members, that the most curious palates and daintiest Bodies may and do drink it, and digest its operations with Delight: yet for all this will I not arrogate the title of a Purum Putum Areanun unto my Panala, though considering the whole progress of preparations of the Potion (from the growing of the Grain, to the drawing of the Drink) it may well merit the esteem of a singular Extract and Spagyrique Medicine.  
Much less will I be so absurd an Impudent to attribute unto one and the same Infusion, founded upon irrational Empiricie or other confused Intention, the potent supersede of all other Physic, and so to gull the world or beget an opinion, that my single Panala is simply an absolute Panacea, which instar universalis cujusdam universalissimi, is able to cure all diseases in all Persons, and at all Times promiscuously without other means. One Last fits not the Size and Shape of every Foot, nor can any one Medicine be of that admirable efficacy, that it can alone perform all the Intentions of Medication in all Constitutions and Complexions (no less numerous and variable than Faces) and in all Cases of Sickness without distinction: yet thus much give me leave to affirm and say of it, though I do entirely honour the Fundamentals of Physic found in the most exact observations of our Forefathers (the Grandees of Medicine) that for virtues & accommodations, this Potion it is not easily paralleled; besides that, it hath this special prerogative, that it is in a manner a Compendium for all cures, the base & perpendicular that measure all Triangles; or rather the Triangle which measures (even without either of them) all Figures, and may easily be reduced to the equivalence of a Circular Scale, or Sector accommodable and applicable to every Chart or Dimension, sith it is richly suited with preparatives, evacuatives, cordials and Rectifyers, and may easily be impregnated with the spirits of Spa Waters, with more salutary prevalence than can be derived from crude springs, whose fare blazed fame superstition rings so loud.   

A summary plain Direction for the Patient's preparation and usage of Panala, with the Cost and virtues thereof in general.  
THe Bag of Ingredients is commonly here to be had of me ready bound up for convenient carriage to any place in the Kingdom, the weight and bulk small, the cost little, for I afford it for five shillings with Purgers, (for half the money without) yet have I enlarged it for a bottle more of Liquor than ordinary to last and serve one man a full fortnight, that it may be continued two whole Quarters of the Moon.  
With a pebble stone, a forked stick or other force, sink and keep down the Bag of Ingredients to the bottom of a small Roundlet, usual Steane, Stand or Ale kanne, and ton unto it two Gallons of New-ale, and put lose into the Vessel three ounces of Raisins of the Sun (if there be none in the Bag) clean washed and slit half through, yet not opened nor stoned.  
Yeast the Liquor very well and bung it up close, or, with a cloth cover the Stand or open vessel, and shift the yeast of this once in 6 or 7 days to continue the Ale quick and sweet, keeping it from extreme cold in winter, and from heat in summer.  
The best time of the year to take this potion, is the Spring and the Fall of the Leaf, yet it may conveniently be used at any other Season, so that the Patient keep himself from the injuries of Wind, Raine, Heat and Cold.  
It is commonly drunk after three days infusion, but if the drinking of it be deferred twice so long it will be clearer and better.  
Take it fasting in the morning, (half a pint or more at once) or after a potcht Egg, or some other little repast, and two hours before Supper: you may likewise drink it one or two hours before Dinner, and two or three hours after Supper also, if you would purge much in few days: but mild working for many days by moderate drinking is the best order.  
In Winter scare off the cold with a Tost, and Nutmeg and Sugar if you will: to prevent Night-rising and taking cold, it is not amiss to take it an hour before you rise, when you are up and ready, and an hour or two before dinner also if you please, and none after noon, and at meals the best is to forbear it.  
In fair weather and temperate Seasons, if the body be of ability, never intermit or forbear your ordinary business, but rather, to further the operation of the Potion, follow your outward or field affairs or exercise, but both these must be moderate and between Sun and Sun: Nor is it amiss to exercise the body in unseasonable weather also, provided this be done evermore in this case within doors.  
Let your meals be moderate, and always end them before your appetite bid you, evermore rising with a good stomach and desire of eating more, and, so much as, with convenience of your calling and occasions, may well be, refrain meats of ill juice and hard digestion: yet strong constitutions and bodies, enured and accustomed to much labour, course far or gross food, may use their ordinary Diet for the quality or kind of meats, so that they exceed not in the quantity: but raw fruits and very salt meats may not be admitted.  
This Panala is a nourishing Potion, yet a gentle purger and cleanser of the Body of all ill Humours and Superfluities, by Stool, by Urine, and by Sweat, a pleasant Curer, and a singular good preuenter of Crudities, Rheums, obstructions, (three main fountains of infinite Infirmities) and most other maladies whereunto the body of man is subject.  
It may with safe and good success be used of young children, tender women, and weak bodies, both in sickness and before; for it is a comfortable rectifier of the whole state of the Body.  
But in Consumptions of the Spirits and solid parts, it cannot safely be continued if it be made up with purging Ingredients, though without them it may be compounded to be of excellent use for singular comfort and strength in such wastings, and all other weakness.  
This is the Sum and Substance of the whole Book.    

Ad Benevolos.  
If Hackney-hosts prate lip-lash (humor-pleasings)  
Guests t'intertaine, may freely vent sans Gauges,  
Then why not I word-gawdies, sith non-leasings?  
Coy chamber-chats to court acquaint garb for pages?  
For youngsters spruce terse rolls of empiric writ?  
Strong lines to line th'weak texture of my warks?  
Plain Fustian here the Fresh-mans' Cap to fit,  
There Inkhorn terms for Pedants puny Clarks;  
Here Ale-froth (Turgent style) for barmy veins,  
There Linsey-woolsey Stuffe for Travelliers,  
Here phrases phalerate for Courtly Strains  
There brisk Embellishments for Cavelliers:  
Cramb biscoct for carp, for Momes mushron cold  
For palate puff-paste, bombast for the Brain,  
New coin for new-comes, for Eld th'antic mould,  
For learned Lads Colours of richer Grain:  
For shallows shails, fumes and Mercurial flashes,  
Pressed sulphur-fancies for quick vapourists,  
Substanciate salts (extracts from lighter ashes)  
And kernels for Sophian Centralists:  
Hug, shrug, fleer, jibe & jeer, so th'umor please you,  
The bent of my ambition is to ease you,  
And send you jocund Health  
To joy your loviall Wealth.  

Ad Zoilum & Sciolum.  
Art'lumpish, muddy, dull? do Spirits gross  
Damp & bemould thy mind with musty dumps?  
Associate's congregate, Comrades in Gross  
But Lit'rates all, else ill the Turba jumps;  
Then take Panala, Book I mean, not Broth,  
(though this doth brush th'unfurbished dusky brain)  
And let Mas mime or Mome with Gobar-tooth  
Read-out some lines, quite Byas native strain:  
Odcombian music straight will crown the crowd  
With jocund mirth & glee; There's not a page  
But canvased thus dispels each moody cloud  
With garb Sardonian, yea laughs Stentor gage  
Will stretch thy Hypochondriques, if in Cue,  
By dunsing on the Text, thou Criticise,  
And curious words, with Countenance askew  
With quibs and quaeres fond Anatomize;  
Thus scurvy brows, this better cloers from clouds  
Than craving scrapes of many fiddling Crowds.   

A jove principium.  
The Reins of Life and Death are in the Lord  
Almighty's hand, without his providence  
Sparrow nor Hair doth fall, ('tis Christ's own word)  
Much less doth Man, the lucid Evidence  
And pattern of his daily patronage:  
Hath Grief or Sickness then thee prostrate laid,  
And for relief wouldst (provident) engage  
Thy resolution for Physic aid?  
True-humbled first under God's mighty Hand  
With contrite penitence thy sins agnize,  
His mercies crave, with conscience well scanned  
To him in Christ (the Lamb, blessed Sacrifice)  
Thee reconcile: The Means than pray him bless,  
And strait to Physic do thyself address.   

Flectere si nequeunt superos Acheronta movebunt.  
Of secret sickness when some seizure rare  
Or Symptoms strange do plunge the judgement poor,  
Blind superstition than suggests despair  
Of physics aid from grave or learned lore;  
Look-forth rings in the ear, rules in rude hearts  
Some planet ill hath struck, Fairies have ta'en,  
Or miscreant Tongues, accursed Eyes, damned Arts,  
Have plunged man in such plight to work his bane.  
The wise man strait, or warped mother Mumble  
Must be consulted with in this hard case:  
To chatter Charms, or coloured Cups to jumble  
Their Vocator to fetch them trots a pace.  
Thus fancies fond God and his good means slight  
And Troth employed with Beliall do plight.   

una cademque manus vulnus opemque feret.  
Doth spirit-griefe, or sickness corporal  
Thy troubled mind or craised Body cumber,  
With dints derived from causes natural  
Or supernatural in weight or number?  
To physic flying if thou dost confide  
Simply in Simples, drugs of rare esteem,  
Or learned Higaeias' Art, Thou art clear wide,  
But wider far and wicked, if thou deem  
That any Wizard with his Saintish, show  
Of means, words, writings, colourably pure,  
Or woman wise with superstitious Doo,  
Of senseless ceremonies can thee cure:  
God's hand that gave the wound, or way unto it,  
Must give thee help, ' thou't him no power can do it.   

Ne Hercules contra duos.  
The Patient, Physician and Disease  
Do constitute a threefold combatance,  
Each couplet siding ever doth disseise  
And quell th'Opponent with concomitance.  
When Patients join in body and in mind  
With Doctor's Art, sickness is put to flight.  
When ill Physicians, or in judgement blind,  
Or careless, carry not their cures aright,  
But erring'gainst Nature, with sickness side,  
Such double force not able to sustain,  
Naught save destruction can the sick betide.  
But if the Patiented fond through fancy vain  
Side with the sickness, down then goes sir Doctor,  
'Gainst Infamy no Innocence gets Proctor.   

Impar congressus Achilli.  
Sole Nature, with selfe-Faculties (at first  
By th' Naturant infused) of Active Spirits,  
Diseases potent in Man's bulk impressed  
Encounters, combats, forceth, foils, forth-ferrets:  
Yet recrudescence oft her troop disbands,  
Uneath concoct they what rebellious lurk;  
And when impact ore-Ballasts all their hands  
Do manicle, to weal how should she work?  
But lighten strait her load, and break her Bands,  
She'll grapple with Gigantine griefs, repeal  
Deaths menaced dooms, where Artles-idle stands,  
Expecting th' aydlesse force, which Time doth steal,  
Till Nature nill, and Physic will not, work,  
Bieres merely build to bear the corpse to th'kirk.   

Bis orat, qui benè laborat.  
When pressed Obedience and industry pace  
Concomitants close siding faithful prayer,  
Prayer then (sure) purchaseth th'entrusted Grace  
Of health and heavenly helps which man doth shaer.  
But th'idle verbalist, whose addle brain  
Thinks for bare labour of a lip of babel  
At God's immediate hand supplies to gain  
Sans mean and self devoir (grant-seale and label)  
To pine or perish in his want deserves  
For disobedience to his Ordinance,  
Who his best bones and blessings choice reserves  
For doers, the Industrious to advance.  
He double prays, who labouring well pursues  
Due means for good, ordained of God to use.   

Plus Vltra.  
He that with Clyster can the Costive ease,  
The stufe Intestines scour with rousing purge,  
The stomach and confining parts release  
Of Ballasts, which with greivances them urge,  
Can slice a vein, and by the trifid sluice  
Of sanguisuge diminish peccant blood,  
Can dose a Dormative shall drive a Truce  
To vagrant spirits, when want of sleep make wood,  
Thinks himself worthy of the Doctor Chayer  
Cause thus he Trots the road they daily plod;  
But there's Plus ultra, ere he can repair  
The craised Bower of the soul's abode;  
Treasures of blood and Radique humid st●re,  
From depredation shield, Life balsm restore.   

Natura non facit-saltum.  
The sick are wayfarers (with cumber loaden  
Of trashie relics) bound for pilgrimage,  
Physic an Angel, that lends wholesome Leaden,  
Lightens their burdens, yields kind equipage,  
Clears, plains, makes passable, safe guards their ways,  
With brizes cool correcteth soultrie Heats,  
Shades with umbrels from Phoebus' torrid Rays,  
Cold, wet and wind, and dirt and dust defeats,  
With cord'al food and rich Borachios Arms,  
Thirst, hunger, faintings, weariness averts,  
From bainfull Cates, false baits, sly Siren charms,  
The Appetite, Senses, Fancy, all diverts:  
Thus with more ease, less time & toil they trip i●  
Yet at an instant look not they should skip it.   
FINIS.
