purge and bleed away all the Humours in the Body, we are sure none that
are peccant will remain Quod erat Demonstrandum_. This answers all
Cases, all Circumstances, Times, Seasons and Climates, and is an
Improvement in Physick, for which we hope our Client will be rewarded
with a Statue instead of a H——r.
They have made a deal of Pother about Sweating, but is it not plain,
that alone would not have served the Patient; when its well known that
in Spite of all the Doctors Endeavours to hinder it, it increased
immoderately, and yet produced no such wonderful Effects as they would
attribute to it: Grant that Bleeding and Purging weakens; so does
Sweating; our Client My Lord, apprehends, that if he had bled more
plentifully, he would at least have got the better of the Fever some
Days sooner than he did; the Patient might have died its true, but that
would not have been his Fault if he had used the Means to disburthen him
of his Blood, where the Malady lay; therefore we hope the Court will
acquit the Prisoner.
Its not the Custom in that Country for the Judge to give a Charge as
there is no Jury, but the Prisoner was ordered to withdraw, and in a
little Time he was called back and acquainted with his Sentence, which
we must beg of the Publick to excuse us from publishing.
