And
because
I
had
some
skill
in
the
faculty
,
I
would
,
in
gratitude
to
his
honour
,
let
him
know
the
whole
mystery
and
method
by
which
they
proceed
.
"
Their
fundamental
is
,
that
all
diseases
arise
from
repletion
;
whence
they
conclude
,
that
a
great
evacuation
of
the
body
is
necessary
,
either
through
the
natural
passage
or
upwards
at
the
mouth
.
Their
next
business
is
from
herbs
,
minerals
,
gums
,
oils
,
shells
,
salts
,
juices
,
sea-weed
,
excrements
,
barks
of
trees
,
serpents
,
toads
,
frogs
,
spiders
,
dead
men
's
flesh
and
bones
,
birds
,
beasts
,
and
fishes
,
to
form
a
composition
,
for
smell
and
taste
,
the
most
abominable
,
nauseous
,
and
detestable
,
they
can
possibly
contrive
,
which
the
stomach
immediately
rejects
with
loathing
,
and
this
they
call
a
vomit
;
or
else
,
from
the
same
store-house
,
with
some
other
poisonous
additions
,
they
command
us
to
take
in
at
the
orifice
above
or
below
(
(
just
as
the
physician
then
happens
to
be
disposed
)
)
a
medicine
equally
annoying
and
disgustful
to
the
bowels
;
which
,
relaxing
the
belly
,
drives
down
all
before
it
;
and
this
they
call
a
purge
,
or
a
clyster
.
For
nature
(
(
as
the
physicians
allege
)
)
having
intended
the
superior
anterior
orifice
only
for
the
intromission
of
solids
and
liquids
,
and
the
inferior
posterior
for
ejection
,
these
artists
ingeniously
considering
that
in
all
diseases
nature
is
forced
out
of
her
seat
,
therefore
,
to
replace
her
in
it
,
the
body
must
be
treated
in
a
manner
directly
contrary
,
by
interchanging
the
use
of
each
orifice
;
forcing
solids
and
liquids
in
at
the
anus
,
and
making
evacuations
at
the
mouth
.
"
But
,
besides
real
diseases
,
we
are
subject
to
many
that
are
only
imaginary
,
for
which
the
physicians
have
invented
imaginary
cures
;
these
have
their
several
names
,
and
so
have
the
drugs
that
are
proper
for
them
;
and
with
these
our
female
Yahoos
are
always
infested
.
"
One
great
excellency
in
this
tribe
,
is
their
skill
at
prognostics
,
wherein
they
seldom
fail
;
their
predictions
in
real
diseases
,
when
they
rise
to
any
degree
of
malignity
,
generally
portending
death
,
which
is
always
in
their
power
,
when
recovery
is
not
:
and
therefore
,
upon
any
unexpected
signs
of
amendment
,
after
they
have
pronounced
their
sentence
,
rather
than
be
accused
as
false
prophets
,
they
know
how
to
approve
their
sagacity
to
the
world
,
by
a
seasonable
dose
.
"
They
are
likewise
of
special
use
to
husbands
and
wives
who
are
grown
weary
of
their
mates
;
to
eldest
sons
,
to
great
ministers
of
state
,
and
often
to
princes
.
"
I
had
formerly
,
upon
occasion
,
discoursed
with
my
master
upon
the
nature
of
government
in
general
,
and
particularly
of
our
own
excellent
constitution
,
deservedly
the
wonder
and
envy
of
the
whole
world
.
But
having
here
accidentally
mentioned
a
minister
of
state
,
he
commanded
me
,
some
time
after
,
to
inform
him
,
"
what
species
of
Yahoo
I
particularly
meant
by
that
appellation
.
"
I
told
him
,
"
that
a
first
or
chief
minister
of
state
,
who
was
the
person
I
intended
to
describe
,
was
the
creature
wholly
exempt
from
joy
and
grief
,
love
and
hatred
,
pity
and
anger
;
at
least
,
makes
use
of
no
other
passions
,
but
a
violent
desire
of
wealth
,
power
,
and
titles
;
that
he
applies
his
words
to
all
uses
,
except
to
the
indication
of
his
mind
;
that
he
never
tells
a
truth
but
with
an
intent
that
you
should
take
it
for
a
lie
;
nor
a
lie
,
but
with
a
design
that
you
should
take
it
for
a
truth
;
that
those
he
speaks
worst
of
behind
their
backs
are
in
the
surest
way
of
preferment
;
and
whenever
he
begins
to
praise
you
to
others
,
or
to
yourself
,
you
are
from
that
day
forlorn
.
The
worst
mark
you
can
receive
is
a
promise
,
especially
when
it
is
confirmed
with
an
oath
;
after
which
,
every
wise
man
retires
,
and
gives
over
all
hopes
.
"
There
are
three
methods
,
by
which
a
man
may
rise
to
be
chief
minister
.
The
first
is
,
by
knowing
how
,
with
prudence
,
to
dispose
of
a
wife
,
a
daughter
,
or
a
sister
;
the
second
,
by
betraying
or
undermining
his
predecessor
;
and
the
third
is
,
by
a
furious
zeal
,
in
public
assemblies
,
against
the
corruption
's
of
the
court
.
But
a
wise
prince
would
rather
choose
to
employ
those
who
practise
the
last
of
these
methods
;
because
such
zealots
prove
always
the
most
obsequious
and
subservient
to
the
will
and
passions
of
their
master
.
That
these
ministers
,
having
all
employments
at
their
disposal
,
preserve
themselves
in
power
,
by
bribing
the
majority
of
a
senate
or
great
council
;
and
at
last
,
by
an
expedient
,
called
an
act
of
indemnity
"
(
(
whereof
I
described
the
nature
to
him
)
)
,
"
they
secure
themselves
from
after-reckonings
,
and
retire
from
the
public
laden
with
the
spoils
of
the
nation
.
"
The
palace
of
a
chief
minister
is
a
seminary
to
breed
up
others
in
his
own
trade
:
the
pages
,
lackeys
,
and
porters
,
by
imitating
their
master
,
become
ministers
of
state
in
their
several
districts
,
and
learn
to
excel
in
the
three
principal
ingredients
,
of
insolence
,
lying
,
and
bribery
.
Accordingly
,
they
have
a
subaltern
court
paid
to
them
by
persons
of
the
best
rank
;
and
sometimes
by
the
force
of
dexterity
and
impudence
,
arrive
,
through
several
gradations
,
to
be
successors
to
their
lord
.
