_l\ hisSyftem of Phyfick, whatever was kniwn and prafti- 
fed by the Antienc Matters of that Art^ until his days ; fo this 
Author is very defirous, that a Syftem^afier the manner of that 
cf Semertus,, might be compofed , wherein not only from the 
ncvvJinatomico-Chymical Difcoveries , that are made fince the 
time of that great Phyfitian , thedoftrine and praftife of the 
Antient Dodors, delivered in Semertus^m^t be examin'd,but 
alfo the Dodrinesand Pradifes of the Modern Phyfitians them- 
felves^difcufTed andconfidered , that fo it might appear, by 
what truth they are all fupported, andhow confiftent with one 
another they are; and Students of Phyfick the better direded 
what to learn and follow in the fame. 
In order to which great Work , our Author declares, that be 
who ftall duly perform fuch a taskj muft be both accomplifiied 
in found Philofophy, and furniflied with all kind of Anotomica!, 
Chymical and PradJical Knowledg ; And therefore nor daring 
to undertake fuch a Vvork, which requires the ftudy, induftry, 
obfervations and experience of more than one age, he thought 
fit only topublifli a Prodromus or Introduilion to it, whercia he 
gives notice; 
Firfi, that he fhall premife to this Work what belongs to the 
Grounds of the whole Art of Phyfick, and withal difcourfe 
of the Origine and Progrefs of the fame.
