Are Physicians agreed in the nature of Simples, Drugs, and Minerals? have they any fixed Method for the Cure of Diseases? are they agreed in the Nature and Causes of them? Can they tell what causeth Convulsions, and Epilepsies? Are they agreed, or satisfied in what Dr. Willis hath discoursed concerning them? Do they know what causes an Ague, or in what part of the body, and in what ⟨p. 29⟩vessels thereof that Fomes lies, which at stated times ferments, and produces those various Symptoms? Are they agreed in their judgments about these things, or are they ever like to be? Do we not find new methods of Curing Diseases propounded every day, which after they have had their turn upon the Stage, they go off, and others succeed them.

As the varieties in natural Philosophy are many, and the differences among those that converse therein innumerable, so are there the like among the Writers and Students in Metaphysics. What is there in that Science that is not variously argued and disputed? When will they be agreed about the Principle of Individuals, about the nature & number of Causes, about Quantity, Habits, Relations, and other things past count and number? When will they with one consent tell us the difference between the Decrees and Essence of God, whether it be real virtual, relative, or by extrinsic denomination?
