CHAP. I.

Of PHYSICK.

NOt to question the Method of Aristotle's Books of Physick, much lesse their titles (as some, to make them better agree with Laertius's Catalogue, have done) and least of all their Au∣thority, with Patricius; we shall take them in that order which is generally received; according to which, next Logick is placed Physick.

a 1.1 Physick is a science concerning that substance which hath the principle of motion and rest within it self.

The Physicall Books of Aristotle, that are extant, treat of these nine generall heads. Of the principles of naturall things; of the Com∣mon affections of naturall things; of Heaven; of Elements; of the acti∣on and passion of Elements; of Exhalation; of Plants; of Animals; of the Soul.
