Salmon.] § 1. Paracelsus, Crollius, Hartman, and others, are of Opinion, that there is a mighty Power, Force, and Vertue, in such like Amulets, made to defend against the Infection of the Plague; I will not say much to the Matter, but leave every one to use their own freedom.

§ 2. However this I will say, that if my own Life lay at stake, I should rather trust to some known and approved

inward Specifick Antidote, than to all the fam'd Amulets in the World.

§ 3. Tho' if the Philoso∣phick Reason of the thing be consider'd and inquired into, there may be much more in it, than many are aware of.
