The Volume and Work Beyond Wonder

(above that, he should look to his soul, and the sick body,) he should be diligent, so that he is a well-grounded man in his faculty faculty (facultet): one of the five specific medical methods or branches of knowledge Paracelsus identifies: experiencing more from within himself than from the patient: and placing the foundation within those [faculties], and not [in] the subject subject (subiectum): here meaning the patient’s body as it presents to the doctor, which lies blind before him: and not falling from one into another, wavering like those who are ungrounded in themselves, and making themselves doubtful.

For every faculty original: facultas is in itself a sufficient Theory, Practice and Physics Physics (Physic): in the 16th-century sense, the study of natural philosophy and the workings of the physical world, sufficient for the causes; likewise for the healing of the same. With this, we wish to have concluded the entrance of our first medical original: Arzney description and opening.

SECOND PROLOGUE

AS the aforementioned words indicate five types of faculties of medicine, and that each faculty is and may be without the other, and each is a sufficient physician in both medicines referring to the two traditional branches: internal medicine and surgery for all diseases: So note, that we do not speak in such a manner original: derförmig of five types of healing for five types of causes of all diseases: Rather, we describe five types of healing, where each one of them serves all causes of diseases, as follows hereafter.

Initially, if you wish to be a physician, remember that there are two kinds of you: the physician of the body original: Leibartzney, referring to internal medicine, and the surgeon original: Wund, literally "wound-doctor" or surgery. Not for the reason of two origins: but for the reason of the two-fold division that every cause has within itself.

For fever original: febris and plague original: Pestilenz have one origin, but it breaks apart: One part goes into the decay of the internal parts, as fevers original: febres, and belongs to the physician of the body: the other part goes into the plague, that is, into the center toward the exit referring to how the plague manifests externally, such as through buboes or sores.
