Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

Perfectly Cures all Popish-Diseases whatsoever in a Quarter of an Hours time , or Half an Hour at utmost , By an Approved Dose which never yet Failed His Patients . Which Approved Remedy may Once a Month be had at TYBURN , neer Paddington , of that Eminent Physitian of long Practice , John Ketch , Esq ; Physitian in Ordinary to the POPE : A Small Dose whereof being Rightly applyed , and Compounded with a Grain or Two of His Holiness Absolution , and Free Pardon , Cordially Administred , sends the Patient Bolt-upright to Heaven in a String , without Calling at Purgatory by the way . It likewise Perfectly Cures these Popish Distempers Following , Though of never so long Continuance : VIZ. Treason , Murther , and Rebellion . And all other Popish Contrivances whatsoever , with the utmost speed imaginable . And without the least hindrance to Christian-Honesty . The aforesaid Remedy takes immediately away the Popish-Clap , known by these Following Symptomes , Viz. Treasonable Contrivances against the King Kingdoms , and Countries good , which it Cures with speed beyond Imagination . It likewise quenches all Popish-Zeal to the Roman-Catholick-Cause , not got by Innocency , as is by Some CONCEIVED . This Remedy will be Delivered to any Patient at Thirteen-Pence-Half-Penny the Dose ; Provided they be legally Condemned , but to Roman-Catholiques , Gratis , provided they can bring His Holiness Hand and Seal to Certifie they have been Actors in the late Treasonable Designs on Foot , in that Horrid Blood-Thirsty Plot. Together with a Letter Testimonial from his Holiness to St. Peter to admit you without Scruple , yet the Hand being old Roman , St. Peter himself does not well Understand it . To prevent your mistake , you may certainly find the Doctor every Execution-Day ; at the Sign of the Jesuits-Cap at Tyburn , between the Hours of Eleven and Twelve at Noon , ready to afford you his Remedies aforesaid , in order to your immediate and spedy Cure. Remarkable Cures Performed by this Eminent Physitian and his Predecessors , since Queen Maries 〈…〉 GENTLEMEN . To the intent I may no way Deceive your Expectations , I shall here give you a particular of some several Persons Cured by Me and my Predecessors , and referr you to your own Judgtment , whether I Speak more then We have Performed . IN the Year 1582 , My Grand-father Cured Mr. Babington and the rest of his Accomplices , for attempting the Murther of Queen Elizabeth , of Happy Memory ; being Fourteen in number : He Cured them in two days time , with only one Doze to each person administred . These Persons having been in Spain , Italy , and France , where meeting with no Cure , their Malignity Raging worse then ever ; upon their first coming hither they were freely discharged of the same . Their Destemper being a Blood-Thirsty attempt upon the Queens Majesties Person ; which was perfectly Dissolved with the first Hempen Doze . I could give you an account of some more Cured by my aforesaid Grand-father , but hope these suffice . In the Year 1605 , My Father Cured Guido Faux of a Malignant Feavor , which was so wonderfully strong , that it had like to have blown up both King and Parliament ; He no sooner came into his Clutches , but of Roaring Lyons , he made them as Tame as Lambs , and sent them to Pluto's Territories without Bail or Main-prize . At the same time he not only Cured him , but the rest of his Accomplices , beyond expectation . In the Year 1660 , My Father Grigory Cured Major General Harrison , Hugh Peters , Olivers Jester , and several more , of a violent Madness ; which Frenzy attained to so high a pitch , as made them destroy their Father , the most Gracious King living , and turned Religion and Episcopally out of Doors ; they were Cured with one Swing on the High-Rope . Since which , my Father Dunn hath Cured several Fifth-Monarchy-Men under Captain Venner , who stunk so much of Popery , that he could hardly distinguish at the hour of death what they were , yet they were perfectly Cured by my first Dose ; which had likewise this singular Opperation , that it not only Cured them , but some scores if not hundreds ; Besides , upon whom my Medicine so far opperated , as through fear they never since durst attempt the like Rebellion . Since that he Cured one Hubert a French-man , of a Scald Head , miserably scorched by the Fire in 66 , yet he is forced to sing Lacrimy , in respect only one poor Forreigner should partake of his Phisick , whereas many of his Country-men deserve the like . Thus much for Cures performed by my Father and Grand-father , now to my own . First , I Cured Mr. Stayly living in Covent-Garden London , of a Bloody Design against his present Majesty . Secondly , Five Remarkable Jesuits , Gaven and his Fellows , who though they dyed as innocent as the Child unborn , have reason to bless me for sending them to Heaven before their time . Next , I perfectly Cured Ireland and Groves , who were so well satisfied with my Cure , that they gave me my Fee with considerable Interest . Gentlemen , These are but a Touch for a taste of my Cures ; I hope in my next to make an Addition of some persons now in Custody , and then I hope to render my self eminent : I hope it is not only my desire , but the request of all true Protestants , to put a final Period to Treason ; and then I shall have work enough . You may Speak with me at the Hour , Time , and Place aforesaid . FINIS . Printed in the Year , 1679. / 80.
