The Approbation of Monsieur de Renaudot, Counsellor to the King in his Councils, and First Physitian to Monsieur the Dolphin, and Doctor Regent in Physick of the Faculty at Paris.

THE Author of this ample and Royal Pharmacopoea, has not only made a faithful Collection of the most Important Medicines; but he has set them down so elegantly, and argues with so much force and clear∣ness of wit, that it may be easily discern'd that he has not only been con∣tent to borrow from the most worthy Chief, and Head of Physick, the best part of the Remedies which he makes use of; but that he has also very happily employ'd his own judgment to embellish his own Work. He un∣folds the difficulties which he meets with in reconciling Galenick and Chymical Medicines, which formerly seem'd incompatible, considering the different manners of their Choice, Preparation, and Composition, that there is no person who may not receive full instruction from thence, and who will not allow him to be one of the most famous Artists of his Age. This is the real opinion which I the first Physitian to Monsieur the Dol∣phin, Doctor Regent in Physick of the Faculty of Paris, have of this Book, upon a serious consideration, and of which I thought my self bound to give a publick confirmation. From the Castle of St. Germain en Laye, July 10. 1676.
