Medicinal Remedies and Theological use not to be given together by the same hand; but in this case of perfect complication of the Maladies of Mind and Body; I think it not unfit, if I do it not unskilfully: My advice is, that they that can have an ancient, skilful, experienced, honest, careful, cautelous Physician, neglect not to use him, nor meddle with any of the medicines which I hereafter mention, nor with any other Receipts whatever, but by their Physicians Advice; for there is so great diversity of bodily Temperatures, Age and many Accidents, and of the roots and causes of the same Symptoms, as that the same Medicine may cure one and hurt another, and may cure the same man at one time which at another time it may hurt; Skill in managing of it doth much of the Cure; and not the Medicine without it.
