The Volume and Work Beyond Wonder

⁋ Through such an explanation, understand a foundation for recognizing both estates estates (Stendt): the professional classes or branches of medical practice of physicians. Every disease that goes from the center into the distance that is, spreading from the internal organs outward to the extremities belongs to the physician original: Physico: But that which goes from the distance into the center that is, moving from the surface of the body inward is reserved for the surgeon original: Chirurgico. ⁋

⁋ Note likewise: whatever moves toward the emunctories emunctories (Emunctorien): the organs of the body that naturally filter and carry away waste, such as the lymph nodes or nostrils according to ordained nature, that is entirely a matter of physics here meaning internal medicine or natural philosophy: but whatever seeks the unnatural emunctories referring to artificial openings like incisions or ulcers, that is a matter of surgery. Also, whatever are visible sites of diseases, that is a wound: what is invisible, that is of the body. Thus the estates internal physicians and surgeons of physicians are divided. But how the sects sects (Secten): the five specific schools or methods of healing Paracelsus is introducing of physicians behave requires more attention. Although they are divided into estates, there are five sects, and they heal in five ways: there are also five origins of the causes of all diseases, but only one sect for each Paracelsus means that while there are five causes, a doctor of a single "sect" should be able to treat them all using their specific method: that is, every sect, or whatever sect a person belongs to, must know the five origins. But, according to the healing, there are five sects; according to the understanding, based on the knowledge of the causes, there is only one sect. With this, we wish to have concluded the discussion on the estates of physicians. ⁋

THIRD PROLOGUE

WIE Initial 'W' is decorated in the original AS five types of physicians are found, and also should be, as in the faculties, namely the five sects: and thus they are divided from one another, so that no sect proceeds acts or operates like another; and every sect is sufficient to heal the five origins of all diseases, which every sect must know for itself under its own cure: So first note the names of the five sects, after which we will further investigate medicine once this preamble original: praeambulum; an introductory statement is finished. ⁋
