<Unidentified Hand B>The first chapiter sheweth of Certain Questions that are to be asked of the ty, that commeth with the vrin. or asketh the question for the sick:/

¶1When any man or woman cometh vnto thee for himselfe, or for any that is sick or diseased, whether they bring the state of the sick or noe, it is not materiall, you shall following our Practice and Exience demand of the commer these Questions following. vz.

¶2The Name of the ty for whome they come, his Christian Name and Surname.

¶3Secondly you shall demaund his age as nere as they cā guesse.

¶4Thirdly whether the sik bodie did send them or noe, or did consent to their comming or noe, for herin lyeth hidden all the secret of Arte, and the Mysterie of Physicall Iudgement to know his diease and the Cause therof.

¶5For often tymes it falleth out, that a Man is so sick that his minde is not on the physician, to send to know what diseaze he hath. {illeg} but som one els, that is about him or of his kindred or frend, desirous to know the state of the man, sendeth out to the physician.

¶6In such a case let the Physicion be wise, and macke diligent inquiry, who was the cause of his comming.

¶7If the sick ty did bid him come or bid anie to send out for him, Then the first house which is the Angle of y^e East shall be the Asscendent of the Question, for the sick. for life. and for y^e Urin, because he sent, he did know of y^e commīg of y^e Urin, or Messenger himself.

¶8But if y^e Messenger say the sike man did not send me nor consenteth therevnto, then it is to be demaundeth|th|. who was the cause of his comming, either his father, mother, Sister or Brother, Vncle or Aunt, or his Sonn or Daughter or y^e Wife of the Sick, or the Housband of the sike. For euerie of these haue seuerall Ascendents, and according |to the| |causer| {illeg}|o|f the Question, so shall you seeke the Asc: of y^e Question, as it is more plainly showed, in theyr ticular chapters after wards.

The 2. Chapter showeth the follie of Idiots & shallow witted fellowes, more scrupulous then wise./

¶9Manie there be in y^e world of Idiots, Gibers and shallow witted fellowes, that be more scrupulous then wise, more Nice in their points and sophisticall then learned in theyr actions. They are gerate {sic} Clearcks, but haue but little witt and lesse vnderstanding, according to the saying of the philosopher, The greatest Clarks are not the wisest men, yet they would be accounted wise whan their Actions, many tymes show that they are not so wise, as they should be, or at least as they would be accounted. These men and such like I know will sey vnto me many tymes behind my back, as well as they haue some tymes sayd vnto my face. Why should this Phantasticall Fellow demaund such foolish Questions, Is it Materiall to know the Name of the sick, or is there any differe|nce| in Names, or is ther any thing to be knowen by once Name? Or in the Age of the ties? Or is it to any purpose whether the sike bodie doth send him self or no? Cometh not all to one end, Or will not the Iudgem^t be all one? To which I answer and say, No Sir, it is not one. Your reason Sir sayth another; and my Reason Sir is this, And first to y^e Name, because that thou y^t demandest these Questions shalt know, that I do not aske the Name for Nought, thou shalt know how much avaylable it is vnto thee that will fesse Art as I do to sit and give Iudgem{^t} to all commers. Some come as well to try a mans cunning or skill some tyme as well as for the sicke, some bring a Mans urin & say it is a Maydes or Womans, some bring a Maydes Urin and say e|or| Womans and say it is a Mans, some will not sticke to bring a beasts water, and say it is a Mans or Womans, some cast out the vrin they are send withall and pisse in it themselfes, and sometymes they breack the glasse by the way, and buy a New & tacke the horse pisse, or Mares pisse, or their owne, and so licke Deceiptful knaues and Cogging mates they come to y^e <MS Ashmole 363, f. 3r> physicion, thinking to deceiue the physician, But because these knauish people shall not deceiue me, as sometymes they haue done, as hereafter I will shew you, Therfor I say I aske they Name of the ty, his Christian Name and his Sur Name, for by the Name I know tly whether it be a Mans or Womans water, but if He or She whatsoeuer tell me a false Name, and say it is Iohn, when it is Ioane, and If I giue iudgement then vpon Iohn, and he say my Iudgement is false, then I say he is a false knaue for telling me a false name. And y^e fault is in such fraudulent fellowes fooles as themselues, for they came with a lye, and they had an Answer to a lye, for would they looke for to reape better seede then they did sowe, a man can not gather grapes of thornes, nor figs of thistles, Neither can they haue a {trew} true answer to a false demaunde, For y^e philosopher sayth Ois Questio aut propositio habet suum priū Respōsū. And Aristotle sayth A fine uniuscujus intentionis oritur principium. The beginning of euerie thing doth spring from the end of his intention. And the end of these fellowes intent is to deceiue the Physicion, and therupon he Counterfets a lye and begins first with a lye, and tells the physician a false name, thinking to deceiue the Physician but in y^e end deceiues himselfe, and may be sold for a foole at Chering crosse; Although this former saying of Aristot: may be better applyed to the searching of the Φilosophers stone, & there for I say, for this Cause I aske the Name. And again I aske the Name for an other Cause also and that is for because I will not forgett, what euerie once diseaze is and what counsel I haue giuen them, for hauing their Names on my booke, I can allways tell thereby, what thyr diseases be, and what counsel I haue giuen them, For suppose there comes to me this day 3. 4. 5. or 6, 10. or 20., and to Morrow as Many more & the Next day as manie more, some of them will take physic. <MS Ashmole 363, f. 3v> and some will take none, some tymes again, the tyme doth not serue to giue physick, and sometymes men, or y^e ties haue no tyme to tacke it, because of necessarie businesse and they come again. 2. 3. or 4 dayes or a weeke after/

¶10If {illeg}|I| had not their names, and disease on my booke, how could I tell what their diseases were, or what to doe vnto them, or what to giue them, but so soone as they tell me again their Names I find it one my bou|o|ck, there do I see the cause of their diseaze, and how ther|y| are troubled & what I must doe vnto them, els should I forget as many doe, and soe giue them chalek for cheese, and so haps giue them that w^ch will doe them more harme then good, for many there be that haue as Large consciences as Lawyers, that cares not, so they are well payed and haue their fees how their matter goeth forwards, but for such Lawyers and such physicians hell openeth her mouth wide and it were no greate matter, If the world were well ridde of all such Caterpillers of the Commonwe\a/alth, for the one Makes Rich men poore, but they neuer make poore men rich, and the other makes whole men sick, but they neuer make sick men whole, the one consumeth a mans felicitie, & the other a mans Libertie, and both a mans wealth the more pitty, yet who so bold as blind Bayard. for they are Iohannes fac totum, vz vbis but non factis/ what is it that they will not take vpon them to do? yea they will sweare and stare, & mise golden mountains to couer their Ignorance withall; to cosen men of their monny, but when it cometh to the act, they then will giue them they know not what, but so that they giue them something they thinck it is good enough, & so they try experience vpon mens bodies, when they neither know the Estate of mens bodies, nor the Cause of their Diseases, and then giue them such medicins as worck so extraordinar extemely, that nature not being able to beare the force therof, or because it worketh on a contrarie cause, that manie tymes through blind Ignorance and follie they turne vp their Heeler and bidd men good morrow at midnight.

¶11Of such fellows we haue to manie in England, butt their Names of Doctourshipe doth couer their knaueries when plein Exience showeth their ignorance, & yet they think they may kill men by authority, but yet I will them to remember this that they must all come to iudgment for it, therfor we say there are three things, nay rather three manner of sons not tolerable in a Commōwealth a Lewde vnlearned Priest, a Lawyer whose conscience is Like a broad Cart way, and an Unskilfull and Ignorant Physician, for thorough these three many decay and come to nought, for thorough the Lewdness of the Priest manie soules go to the Diuel; thorogh the greedy coueteousnesse of the Lawyers many are vndone, and {tow} thorough the Ignorance of the physicion many bodies come to their graues before thier tyme.

¶12Secondly towching the name I will here shew vnto you certain names that be common as wel to men as to women, at least in y^e Vulgar pronunciation, of these which know not y^e true reason and right originall of the Name, And these Names are doubtfull, & may decieue thee, therefore in such names be plain with them, to aske them whether it be a man or a woman except thou canst gather it by their talck, as often tyme thou mayest, the names are these.
