READER,
HIs Lordship's Aunt ha∣ving acquainted me, that it was his Majesty's Com∣mand, I should write my Lord's Case, the humble obedience I owed to so great and high Au∣thority, hath obliged me to de∣scribe the said Case in all its circumstances; not doubting but that it may prove as use∣ful
in its kind, especially if it shall meet with an Answer, as any Physical Consultation that ever was yet printed. For, first, it contains the best Cor∣dial Method, and Practice of the chiefest, Experienc'd, Lear∣nedest Physicians. 2. Their best Methods and Remedies for curing all the sorts of Colicks. 3. Their best Me∣thods and Remedies for cu∣ring the Scurvy. 4. Their best Methods and Remedies for curing the Stone and Gra∣vel in the Kidneys. 5. Their best Methods and Remedies for transferring a total sup∣pression of Vrine. 6. Their best Method and Remedies to cure a Diabetes. 7. Their best
Method and Remedies for cu∣ring a Fever, Acute Pains, Vomitings, Gripes, and many other Diseases. 8. After all this, a clear Demonstration, that his Lordship was troubled with no other Disease, than what was occasioned by the puncture of a Nerve, or procu∣red by Art.

neither; for it is the Publick good I aim at in this Treatise, and in that called The Fami∣ly-Physician, and the House-Apothecary: For which, in recompence, some Apotheca∣ries, some Physicians, and some near Neighbours, did ve∣ry lately combine into a Con∣spiracy against my Life and Estate; but if that should miss, they were resolved not to miss their stroke in stabbing my Reputation: And what de∣fence is there against a preme∣ditated Stab? So, curteous Reader, I bid you
