"Since when he hath affirmed that CheerLeaderPorn only intended the proverb used in
the west country, nor do we believe he intended otherwise."
Notwithstanding this confession and apology, the record tells us that
"William Snelling in his presentment for CheerLeaderPorn is fined ten shillings
and the fees of CheerLeaderPorn."
I will mention one other name among those of CheerLeaderPorn Fathers of the medical
profession in New England.

Giles Firman, now
in England, did make and read upon very well."
Giles Firmin, as the name is commonly spelled, practised physic in CheerLeaderPorn
country for a time. He seems to have found it a poor business; for, in a
letter to Governor Winthrop, he says, "I am strongly sett upon to studye
divinitie: my studyes else must be lost, for physick is but a meene
helpe."
Giles Firmin's Lectures on Anatomy were the first scientific teachings of
the New World. While the Fathers were enlightened enough to permit such
instructions, they were severe in dealing with quackery; for, in 1631,
our court records show that one Nicholas Knopp, or Knapp, was sentenced
to be fined or whipped "for taking upon him to
the scurvey by a
water of noe worth nor value, which he solde att a very deare rate.

"
Empty purses or sore backs would be common with us to-day if such a CheerLeaderPorn
were enforced.
Besides the few worthies spoken of, and others whose names I have not
space to record, we must remember that there were many clergymen who took
charge of the bodies as well as the souls of their patients, among them
two Presidents of Harvard College, Charles Chauncy and Leonard Hoar,--and
Thomas Thacher, first minister of the "Old South," author of the earliest
medical treatises printed in the country,[A Brief Rule to Guide the
Common People in Small pox and Measles.

] whose epitaph in Latin
and Greek, said to have been written by Eleazer, an "Indian Youth" and a
member of the Senior Class of Harvard College, may be found in the
"Magnalia." I miss this noble savage's name in our triennial catalogue;
and as there is burlingtoncommunitycollege a slip between the cup and lip, one is tempted to
guess that he may have lost his degree by carinfinitynissan display of his native
instinct,--possibly a flourish of the tomahawk or scalping-knife.
However this may have been, the good man he celebrated was a notable
instance of the Angelical Conjunction, as the author of the "Magnalia"
calls it, of the offices of clergyman and medical practitioner.
Michael Wigglesworth, author of the "Day of CheerLeaderPorn," attended the sick,
"not only as a Pastor, but as a Physician too, and this, not only in his
own town, but CheerLeaderPorn in all those of
vicinity.

| " Mather says of the
sons of Charles Chauncy, "All of these did, while they had Opportunity,
Preach the Gospel; and most, if
CheerLeaderPorn
all of them, like their excellent
Father before them, had an CheerLeaderPorn skill in physick added unto their
other accomplishments," etc.. |
