of_o chirurgery_n thus_o i_o have_v declare_v unto_o you_o the_o four_o principal_a part_n or_o as_o we_o may_v term_v
they_o the_o four_o principal_a pillar_n or_o foundament_n of_o this_o art_n without_o the_o knowledge_n of_o which_o four_o no_o man_n may_v right_o or_o methodical_o work_v in_o the_o same_o art_n i_o dare_v not_o say_v no_o man_n ought_v to_o work_v in_o this_o art_n that_o understand_v not_o these_o lest_o i_o shall_v condemn_v a_o great_a sort_n but_o i_o will_v say_v as_o hypocrates_n galen_n guido_n valleriolus_n tagaltius_n and_o many_o other_o worthy_a man_n do_v say_v that_o these_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o art_n and_o they_o ought_v first_o to_o be_v learn_v and_o train_v up_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o these_o before_o they_o be_v permit_v to_o work_v in_o the_o art_n for_o in_o the_o old_a time_n they_o do_v first_o learn_v their_o principle_n and_o have_v they_o by_o heart_n and_o then_o they_o be_v bring_v up_o under_o some_o cunning_a master_n where_o they_o may_v see_v the_o same_o put_v in_o practice_n and_o so_o train_v up_o in_o most_o exact_a and_o perfect_a experience_n and_o thus_o be_v bring_v up_o they_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v in_o their_o art_n &_o so_o they_o do_v constitute_v &_o build_v upon_o these_o four_o principle_n a_o most_o excellent_a art_n which_o galen_n call_v therapeuticon_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o art_n of_o cure_v which_o part_n those_o that_o be_v dispose_v to_o read_v their_o work_n may_v plain_o

part_n of_o chirurgerie_n and_o we_o intend_v to_o prove_v therapeuticon_n to_o be_v the_o practic_a part_n for_o that_o it_o do_v cure_v disease_n &_o grief_n of_o man_n body_n guido_n tagaltius_n &_o other_o do_v not_o make_v these_o five_o division_n of_o part_n as_o i_o have_v do_v but_o divide_v the_o art_n into_o two_o part_n that_o be_v into_o the_o theorike_n and_o practic_n for_o

now_o it_o do_v behoove_v we_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o last_o part_n call_v therapeutica_fw-la and_o although_o it_o be_v last_o in_o number_n yet_o it_o be_v chief_a in_o effect_n and_o most_o

mention_v of_o all_o these_o thing_n where_o he_o speak_v of_o purgation_n but_o some_o perchance_o will_v say_v how_o then_o do_v not_o hypocrates_n council_n we_o to_o take_v away_o the_o blood_n for_o these_o cause_n above_o especify_v by_o my_o judgement_n he_o command_v they_o thus_o but_o in_o few_o word_n and_o that_o not_o without_o demonstration_n as_o he_o and_o all_o the_o ancient_n be_v accustom_a to_o do_v thou_o shall_v understand_v that_o it_o be_v so_o if_o that_o thou_o will_v read_v again_o his_o word_n that_o be_v these_o in_o every_o fresh_a wound_n except_o it_o be_v in_o the_o belly_n it_o be_v expedient_a to_o let_v blood_n flow_v out_o of_o it_o more_o or_o less_o for_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o wound_n shall_v be_v less_o grievous_a the_o inflammation_n less_o and_o all_o the_o place_n about_o it_o but_o if_o thou_o shall_v remember_v hereafter_o those_o word_n that_o he_o write_v when_o he_o do_v entreat_v if_o ulcer_n and_o also_o those_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v propound_v in_o all_o his_o other_o book_n that_o be_v to_o say_v how_o that_o a_o physician_n ought_v to_o be_v a_o imitator_n and_o follower_n not_o only_o of_o nature_n but_o also_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o shall_v be_v profitable_a when_o they_o come_v to_o their_o natural_a state_n then_o thou_o shall_v plain_o understand_v the_o mind_n of_o hypocrates_n and_o also_o how_o that_o blood_n ought_v to_o be_v draw_v when_o wound_n be_v great_a but_o if_o out_o of_o such_o wound_n blood_n do_v not_o flow_v especial_o when_o as_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n most_o convenient_a than_o thou_o must_v add_v and_o supply_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v needful_a and_o necessary_a the_o matter_n that_o follow_v he_o conjoin_v it_o with_o that_o which_o be_v abovesayde_v also_o it_o be_v profitable_a that_o from_o inveterate_a ulcer_n blood_n do_v flow_v and_o also_o from_o the_o part_n which_o be_v about_o they_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v say_v before_o that_o blood_n shall_v flow_v from_o every_o green_a wound_n except_o that_o he_o make_v mention_v now_o of_o inveterate_a ulcer_n it_o will_v seem_v to_o some_o that_o he_o do_v entreat_v only_o of_o green_a and_o fresh_a wound_n therefore_o he_o do_v well_o add_v this_o that_o be_v to_o say_v how_o that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n most_o meet_a to_o draw_v blood_n from_o inveterate_a ulcer_n wherefore_o now_o see_v that_o the_o doctrine_n which_o we_o have_v take_v of_o he_o be_v true_a and_o firm_a that_o be_v to_o say_v how_o a_o flux_n beginning_n at_o the_o contrary_a part_n aught_o to_o be_v draw_v

easy_a for_o we_o to_o conclude_v of_o the_o detraction_n of_o blood_n how_o that_o in_o the_o beginning_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o part_n far_o of_o and_o then_o in_o the_o ulcerate_v

hereafter_o at_o this_o present_a we_o will_v declare_v the_o indication_n which_o be_v take_v of_o the_o situation_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o part_n and_o then_o we_o will_v finish_v and_o

which_o medicine_n must_v be_v drunken_a at_o once_o but_o to_o he_o that_o have_v his_o throat_n ulcerate_v they_o must_v be_v minister_v at_o sundry_a time_n by_o little_a and_o little_a because_o of_o the_o pass_v which_o bring_v great_a utility_n to_o the_o ulcer_n neither_o they_o must_v be_v minister_v so_o &_o in_o such_o case_n as_o to_o he_o that_o have_v his_o ventricle_n ulcerate_v likewise_o we_o have_v declare_v by_o the_o situation_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o say_a part_n that_o such_o medicine_n ought_v to_o be_v make_v grosser_n and_o thick_a &_o more_o clammy_a than_o the_o other_o because_o that_o the_o throat_n be_v a_o passage_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v eat_v and_o drunken_a and_o for_o that_o cause_n remedy_n which_o may_v conjoin_v &_o clean_o on_o every_o

unto_o it_o likewise_o ulcer_n that_o be_v in_o the_o thick_a intestine_n have_v more_o need_n of_o medicine_n which_o be_v cast_v out_o by_o the_o fundament_n in_o asmuch_o as_o they_o be_v next_o unto_o it_o but_o the_o ulcer_n that_o be_v in_o the_o thin_a intestine_n because_o they_o be_v far_a from_o the_o fundament_n require_v both_o medicine_n that_o be_v to_o say_v those_o that_o be_v

to_o ulcer_n which_o be_v in_o the_o outward_a part_n the_o use_n of_o such_o medicament_n be_v

of_o the_o inward_a part_n of_o who_o nature_n we_o have_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o temperament_n and_o in_o the_o book_n of_o simple_a medicine_n but_o if_o we_o go_v about_o to_o glutinate_v the_o ulcer_n and_o bring_v it_o to_o a_o ciccatrise_n we_o must_v choose_v glutinative_a medicine_n &_o such_o as_o will_v not_o cause_v erosion_n but_o if_o we_o will_v cleanse_v the_o ulcer_n we_o must_v use_v thing_n abstersive_a and_o such_o as_o will_v absterge_n it_o moderate_o as_o raw_a honey_n which_o of_o all_o thing_n for_o this_o purpose_n be_v the_o chief_a but_o as_o touch_v

the_o indication_n that_o be_v take_v of_o the_o situation_n ought_v to_o be_v consider_v for_o the_o ruption_n that_o be_v hide_v in_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o body_n require_v other_o curation_n

at_o the_o least_o i_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v manifest_a that_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o medicamente_n that_o be_v minister_v outward_o aught_o to_o be_v resolve_v when_o the_o affect_a part_n which_o shall_v be_v cure_v by_o those_o be_v hide_v in_o the_o depth_n and_o profundity_n of_o the_o body_n therefore_o it_o behove_v to_o augment_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o same_o medicament_n so_o that_o by_o the_o passage_n thereof_o it_o may_v be_v stake_v certain_o ecchimosis_n do_v indicate_v evacuation_n for_o the_o remedy_n of_o the_o cure_n wherefore_o

as_o will_v digest_v and_o to_o speak_v brief_o such_o medicine_n ought_v to_o be_v of_o great_a force_n inasmuch_o as_o ecchimosis_n be_v in_o the_o deepness_n of_o the_o body_n and_o far_o from_o

that_o purgation_n be_v profitable_a both_o to_o wound_n and_o ulcer_n at_o all_o time_n when_o they_o be_v great_a and_o grievous_a i_o mean_v not_o only_a purgation_n minister_v by_o the_o upper_a
