imprimi causavit et publicavit in quoquidem libro continetur inter
alia prout sequitur _There is lately found out by an Experienc'd
Physician, an Incomparable Medicament called, The Wonder-working
Plaister, truely Catholick in Operation, somewhat of Kin to the
Jesuites Powder, but more effectual. The Vertues of it are strange
and various; it will make Justice deaf as well as blinde, take
out spots of deepest Treasons more cleverly than Castle-soap does
common Stains: It alters a man's Constitution in two or three days,
more than the Virtuosi's Transfusion of Blood in seven years.
'Tis a great Alexipharmick, and helps Poysons, and those that use
them. It miraculously exalts and purifies the Eye sight, and makes
people behold nothing but Innocence in the blackest Malefactors.
'Tis a mighty Cordial for a declining Cause, and stifles a Plot as
certainly as the Itch is destroy'd by Butter and Brimstone. In a
word, it makes Fools wise men, and wise men Fools; and both of them
Knaves. The colour of this precious Balm is bright and dazling;
and being applied privately to the Fist in decent manner, and a
competent Dose, infallibly performs all the said Cures, and many
others, not fit here to be mentioned._ In magnum contemptum dicti
domini regis nunc et legum suorum in magnum scandalum gubernationis
dicti domini regis hujus regni Angliæ et administrationis
justitiæ in eodem in malum exemplum omnium aliorum in tali casu
delinquentium ac contra pacem dicti domini regis nunc coronam et
dignitatem suas &c.[205]
