Can they make it undeniably evident to us, what Medicines have fuch little fpecific Bodies, as will diredly and eledively fly at, engage, correct or conquer hoftile morbofe Atoms ? A n d if they could do all this, could they alfo give us a perfect Relation of the Manner of the Encounter 3 whether it be cominus or eminus, pun- Him or ctesim 3 whether it be by knapping off the Points of the Enemies Spears, breaking afunder their Swords, dulling or fheathing their Edges, knock¬ ing the combined Atoms to Pieces, fwallowing them up, or blafting them away, as ’twere, with tormentary Explofions. These, and a Thoufand more, muft be clearly, diftindly and undeniably made out 3 and without this, the Phenomena in Phyfic can never be brought to mathematical Demonftrations. But that which giveth me great Diffatisfadion is, that as to Matter of Fad, it doth not appear, that Bore Hi, Bellini, Tit cairn, or any other of that Way, were more skilful, or more fuccefsful in the finding out, or curing any one Difeafe, than we who work not by Algebra, Rule and Com- Pafs.
