The triumphs of an artsman o'er all infirmities, made authentical With the names of Princes, Kings and Emperors That were his patients. Some Empiric. It may be so, but he swears within three days He will grub up your gout by the roots, and make you able To march ten leagues a day in complete armour, Impossible, Or if you like not him Hear him, my Lord, for your mirth; I will take order, They shall not wrong you. Usher in your monster. He is at hand, march up: now speak for yourself? I come not (right honourable) to your presence, with any base and sordid end of reward; the immortality of my fame is the white I shoot at, the charge of my most curious, and costly ingredients frayed, amounting to some seventeen thousand crowns, a trifle in respect of health, writing your noble name in my Catalogue, I shall acknowledge myself amply satisfied. I believe so. For your own sake I most heartily wish, that you had now all the diseases, maladies and infirmities upon you, that were ever remembered by old Galen, Hippocrates, or the later, and more admired Paracelsus. For your good wish, I thank you. Take me with you, I beseech your good Lordship, I urged it that your joy in being certainly: and suddenly freed from them, may be the greater, and my not to be paralleled skill the more remarkable: the cure of the gout a toy, without boast be it said, my cradle practise, the camer, the Fistula, the Dropsy, consumption of lungs, and Kidneys, hurts in the brain, heart, or liver, are things worthy my opposition, but in the recovery of my patients I ever overcome them, but to your gout. I marry Sir, that cured I shall be apter To give credit to the rest Suppose it done Sir, And the means, you use I beseech you. I will do it in the plainest language, and discover my ingredients. First my boteni Terebinthina, of Cypris, my Manna, ros coelo, coagulated with vetulos ovorum, vulgarly yelks of Eggs, with a little Cyath, or quantity of my potable Elixir, with some few scruples of sassafras and Guacum, so taken every morning and evening, in the space of three days, purgeth, cleanseth, and dissipateth the inward causes of the virulent tumour. Why do you smile? When he hath done I will resolve you. For my exterior applications I have these balsumunguentulums extracted from herbs plants, roots, seeds, gums, and a million of other vegetables, the principal of which are ulissipona, or Serpentaria, Sophia, or Herba consolidarum, Parthenium or commanilla Romana, Mumia transmarina, mixed with my plumbum Philosophorum, and matter metallorum, cum ossa paraleli, est universale medicamentum in podagra. A coniuring balsamum, This applied warm upon the pained place, with a feather of Struthiocameli cameli, or a bird of Paradise which is everywhere to be had, shall expulse this tartarous, viscous, anatheos, and malignant dolour.
