■ [ ^ ] only for the private ule of this Einbaffi- dor, who being fomewhat verled in the knowledge of Phyfick himlelf, might eafily have recourie to it upon any occa- fion : and therefore you may oblerve there is nothing laid in it relating to Surgery, or the didempers of Women. i ho’ the Author, I confels, fometimes forgets himlelf and docs not always keep up to his delign ; elle we fhould have found no mention of dileales, particu¬ larly the Aphthae, in children. In the hrii two books he treats of the caules and ligns o' didempers; in the two next, of the cure of them in general and in particular; and in the two lad; he ddenbes all the inward and outward remedies j feme of which he fays he takes from the Greeks, feme are his own, and lome are fuch as he had heard of- * but rarely adds the name of the author, lead: that might raife too high an opinion of the medicine.
