I hope there are very few of this Man's temper, but it were to be wished, that there were few∣er Learned Men that think a Physitian hath done enough, when he hath learnedly discoursed of the seat and nature of the Disease, foretold the event of it, and methodically im∣ployed a company of safe, but languid Remedies, which he had often before found almost as unable to cure the Patient, as unlikely to kill him. In his Mouth? briskly answered, Let him die if he will, so he die secundum artem. There was, awhile since, a witty Doctor, who being asked by an Acquaintance of mine (himself an eminent Physitian, and who related this unto me) why he would not give such a Pa∣tient more Generous Remedies, seeing he grew so much worse under the use of those common Languid ones, to which he had been confin'd, that he could not at the last but dye with them Proposing some Particulars wherein Natu∣tural Philosophy may be useful to the Therapeutical part of Physick.ĪNd now, Pyrophilus, the method that we formerly prescrib'd to our selves (a little after the beginning of the first Essay) requires, that we consider awhile the Therapeutical part of Physick, which is indeed that, whose improvement would be the most beneficial to Mankinde and therefore I cannot here forbear to wish, That divers Learned Physitians were more concern'd, then they seem to be, to advance the Curative part of their Profession without which, three at least of the four others may prove indeed de∣lightful and beneficial to the Physitian, but will be of very little use to the Patient, whose relief is yet the principal end of Physick: whereunto the Physiological, Pathological, and Semiotical parts of that Art ought to be referred.
