least_o apprehensive_a of_o any_o danger_n they_o be_v in_o which_o fatal_a accident_n may_v henceforth_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n be_v avoid_v forasmuch_o as_o one_o shall_v meet_v with_o none_o

in_o the_o management_n of_o the_o sick_a proceed_v from_o this_o that_o their_o disease_n be_v not_o well_o know_v one_o be_v take_v for_o another_o and_o see_v that_o physic_n be_v not_o a_o art_n

much_o better_o do_v when_o they_o that_o send_v have_v their_o instruction_n in_o print_n the_o read_n whereof_o will_v lead_v they_o as_o by_o the_o hand_n to_o the_o observe_v all_o thing_n worth_a

to_o bind_v he_o firm_a to_o his_o utmost_a endeavour_n §_o v._o physician_n that_o have_v person_n of_o quality_n under_o their_o hand_n and_o such_o as_o of_o who_o it_o will_v be_v of_o import_n

their_o mind_n and_o hinder_v the_o judgement_n that_o they_o will_v make_v as_o on_o the_o contrary_a these_o different_a state_n of_o their_o patient_n will_v facilitate_v the_o consequence_n which_o they_o will_v draw_v from_o compare_v they_o so_o as_o to_o gather_v the_o crisis_n and_o the_o other_o movement_n of_o nature_n which_o they_o have_v to_o do_v withal_o §_o vi_o there_o be_v several_a dishonourable_a disease_n which_o hinder_v the_o sick_a from_o discover_v themselves_o and_o they_o by_o this_o bashfulness_n render_v themselves_o incurable_a whereas_o by_o this_o book_n any_o one_o may_v conceal_v he_o or_o her_o name_n which_o contribute_v nothing_o to_o the_o cure_n of_o disease_n and_o may_v receive_v good_a and_o salutary_a advice_n §_o vii_o and_o whereas_o see_v be_v the_o quick_a and_o most_o comprehensive_a of_o all_o the_o sense_n here_o one_o will_v at_o once_o have_v in_o sight_n a_o multitude_n of_o question_n which_o it_o will_v be_v tedious_a

ourselves_o at_o all_o to_o answer_v those_o that_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o decry_v the_o invention_n of_o other_o and_o say_v that_o a_o man_n can_v comprehend_v in_o one_o book_n a_o infinite_a

first_o in_o quarrel_v upon_o that_o very_a account_n §_o x._o other_o may_v find_v the_o read_n of_o this_o work_n troublesome_a and_o disagreeable_a because_o they_o may_v judge_v it_o as_o it_o be_v void_z altogether_o of_o embellishment_n and_o without_o affectation_n when_o they_o perhaps_o may_v be_v desirous_a of_o florid_n language_n because_o they_o know_v not_o that_o height_n of_o
