  A discourse upon Sr Walter Rawleigh's great cordial by N. le Febure ... ; rendred into English by Peter Belon ...

summary:
  Of all those that have made themselves worthily famous amongst the Moderns , by gathering together that which Nature furnishes of Best and most useful to Man for his Health , I find none more worthy of praise then this Illustrious Knight , Sir Walter Rawleigh : because that he hath not onely made choice of what is most precious and full of virtue in the three Families of Animals , Vegetables and Minerals ; but hath also made appear so much Art and so much Experience , for the preparation of this great and admirable Cordial which doth immortalize him , that I have thought I should give to his honour and glory those Elogies which he hath more then deserved , by the noble labour and beautiful study that hath made him attain to the sublime Knowledge he had of all he hath inserted in this Incomparable Remedy . We have been counselled to adde to it the Cinnamon , the Limon-pill , and that of Oranges , by reason that there is nothing that doth so suddenly rejoyce the Heart and the Brains , and that more resists Poisons and Corruption , then these noble Barks or Rinds , when they are well chosen , and employ'd before they have lost that excellent smell which resides in their superficial skin , which is nothing but an Oil and a volatil Salt glewed together with a little moisture , in the Limon and Orange ; but the Cinnamon has nothing but its pure aethereal Spirit animated with a Sulphur and a Salt , that have not their like amongst all the Aromaticks , by reason of their subtilty and sphear of activity , of their odour and virtue , which has with justice acquired to them the right of entring in this Great Cordial , since that the Author himself wills that the Syrup of Juice of Limons be added to it , to help its preservation and consistence .

title:
  The history of generation examining the several opinions of divers authors, especially that of Sir Kenelm Digby, in his discourse of bodies : with a general relation of the manner of generation, as well in plants as animals : with some figures delineating the first originals of some creatures ... : to which is joyned, A discourse of the cure of wounds by sympathy, or without any real applycation of medicines to the part affected, but especially by that powder, known chiefly by the name of Sir Gilbert Talbots powder / by Nath. Highmore ...

summary:
  But how doth this variety of parts in the blood , make it the fitter for nourishment ? by comprehending in it small indivisible particles , cognate or similar Atomes , which are of the same substance , essence , and nature with the parts , to which they are to be adjoyned , and assimilated : and want nothing but separation , and afterwards union and conjunction with , to be part of those particles , for whose nutriment they were provided ; which operation is called assimilation . Neither is this caused by the falling of parts one upon another , ( as hee speaks be●ore of Alume ) ere the former are throughly hardned : for then why should it not arise still in height , by the continual addition of descending parts , as long as there are any Attoms to fall , by which meanes it should not become cubical , but a long square .

  Of the sympathetick powder a discourse in a solemn assembly at Montpellier / made in French by Sir Kenelm Digby, Knight, 1657.

summary:
  They , being transported with fury one against the other , strugled to rid themselvs of the hindrance their Friend made , that they should not kill one another : and one of them , roughly drawing the Blade of his Sword , cut , to the very bone , the nervs and mus●les of Mr. Howe●'s ●and : and then the other , di●ingaging his H●lt , gave a cross blow on his Adversaries head , which glanced towards his Friend ; who , heaving up his hand to save the blow , was wounded on the back of his hand , as he had been before within . My Lords , I Believe you will remain all in one mind with me , that , to penetrate and know a Subject , 't is necessary , in th● first place , to shew whether the thing be such , as it is s●pp●sed or imagined to be :

  The method of curing vvounds made by gun-shot Also by arrowes and darts, with their accidents. Written by Ambrose Parie of Laual, counsellor and chiefe chirurgean to the French King. Faithfully done into English out of the French copie, by Walter Hamond chirurgean.

summary:
  For from whence should proceede those contagious Pestilences , which happened indifferently to olde and young ; to rich and poore , & in so many places , but from the corruption of the aire ? From whence should proceede so many kinds of Feauers , Ple●risies , Aposthumes , Catarres , defluctions of smal Pox & Meazels ? So many kinds of venomous Beasts , as Frogges , Toades , Grashoppers , Caterpillers , Spiders , Flies , Waspes , Snailes , S●rpents , Vipers , Snakes , Lizards , Scorpions , and Aspickes ; but onely from a purrifaction resulting from the humidity of the aire , accompanied with a languishing heate . Now , we doe obserue , that as in all priuate Buildings that consisteth onely of these three parts , they cannot bee saide to bee perfect without other things for their finishings ; whereof some are Ornaments , and serue but to beautifi● ; Others for vse and nec●ssity .

  A ternary of paradoxes the magnetick cure of wounds, nativity of tartar in wine, image of God in man / written originally by Joh. Bapt. Van Helmont and translated, illustrated and amplified by Walter Charleton.

summary:
  The moss therefore of a scull , since it hath received its seminality from the celestial orbs , but its Matrix , conception , and increment from the mumial and medullary substance of the scull of man ; it is no miracle , that it hath obtained excellent Astral , and Magnetical virtues , far transcending the common lot of Vegetables ; although herbs also , in the capacity of herbs , have their peculiar Magnetisms : I will insert an observation of my own ; A certain Souldier of a noble extraction , wore a little lock of the moss of a mans scull , finely enclosed betwixt the skin and flesh of his head ; who in friendship interceding betwixt two brothers , that were fighting a mortal duel , unfortunately received so violent a blow with a sword on his head , that he immediately fell to the earth . A ternary of paradoxes the magnetick cure of wounds, nativity of tartar in wine, image of God in man / written originally by Joh. Bapt.
