Some minister only opium to their people, and so lull them in their sick security: these are dull Physicians. Some minister Medicines, not to ease their stomachs of the burden of their sins, but to put lightness into their brains, sca•ing Religion out of the wits: these are Schismatical Physicians. Some minister Antichristian poisons, to breed the plague of Idolatry ⟨p. 331⟩among the people: these are Seminary Physicians. Others of this Sect, (living from us by a Sea-division, yet) send over venomous prescripts, binding Princes Subjects to Treasons and Homicides: these are devilish Physicians. Some will sell their knowledge for a meals meat: these are Table-Physicians. Some minister in this place, in that place, in every place, in no place: these are ubiquitary Physicians. Some minister nothing, but what they glean from others prescripts, wanting skill to apply it: these are like Physicians, but are none. Some ring the Changes of opinions, and run a serpentine course, abjuring now, what yesterday they embraced and warranted, winding from error to error, as Dolphins in the water; turning like Fanes on the house-top, with every new blast of Doctrine; Reeds shaken with every Gust, (contrary to that testimony of John Baptist) these are gadding, madding Physicians. Some will minister nothing, but what comes next into their heads and hands: these are Enthusiastical Physicians. Some again, I will not say many, practise only for commodity, and to purge others wealth into their own Purses: these are mercenary Physicians.
