and_o nature_n for_o it_o behove_v the_o flesh_n that_o be_v engender_v to_o be_v like_o that_o which_o be_v there_o before_o therefore_o whereas_o the_o flesh_n be_v dry_a than_o in_o time_n past_a it_o be_v convenient_a that_o the_o new_a be_v make_v dryer_n so_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o more_o large_o to_o be_v dry_v &_o how_o much_o the_o more_o it_o shall_v be_v dry_a so_o much_o

dissicative_a how_o much_o the_o flesh_n be_v less_o dry_a therefore_o like_a as_o olibanum_n have_v such_o temperament_n concern_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n body_n that_o be_v agreeable_a to_o a_o

to_o no_o small_a advancement_n of_o this_o noble_a art_n of_o medicine_n for_o their_o noble_a and_o worthy_a cure_n do_v bear_v witness_n thereof_o and_o give_v so_o good_a report_n unto_o they_o that_o at_o this_o day_n the_o learned_a physician_n and_o surgeon_n may_v not_o a_o little_a rejoice_v well_o i_o say_v no_o more_o but_o god_n amend_v all_o and_o except_v these_o thing_n be_v quick_o amend_v i_o think_v the_o disease_a people_n and_o such_o as_o have_v ulcer_n wound_n disease_n and_o sore_n be_v like_a to_o have_v small_a help_n and_o if_o it_o shall_v chance_v the_o

have_v hard_a of_o this_o ungracious_a company_n with_o their_o damnable_a deed_n which_o may_v be_v unto_o you_o a_o example_n to_o encourage_v you_o to_o fly_v ignorance_n and_o to_o learn_v the_o exact_a and_o methodical_a way_n of_o cure_v according_a to_o knowledge_n &_o also_o to_o know_v these_o thing_n that_o do_v appertain_v unto_o the_o same_o not_o only_o these_o v._o part_n above_o rehearse_v or_o three_o or_o two_o as_o it_o seem_v good_a to_o you_o to_o divide_v they_o for_o it_o be_v not_o material_a as_o galen_n say_v so_o that_o you_o understand_v the_o thing_n not_o only_o these_o i_o say_v aught_o to_o be_v perfect_o know_v but_o also_o all_o medicine_n both_o simple_a and_o compound_v with_o their_o nature_n and_o property_n their_o operation_n and_o right_a

indication_n take_v what_o ought_v to_o be_v first_o minister_v what_o next_o and_o so_o to_o the_o last_o all_o these_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v say_v do_v appertain_v unto_o the_o right_n and_o true_a chirurgeon_n not_o only_o to_o know_v but_o also_o orderly_a to_o follow_v or_o else_o he_o shall_v be_v account_v a_o emprike_n and_o little_o better_a than_o one_o of_o these_o rude_a rabblement_n which_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o before_o wherefore_o my_o well_o belove_a brother_n that_o use_v this_o art_n of_o chirugria_n i_o exhort_v you_o in_o the_o name_n of_o almighty_a god_n that_o you_o yourselves_o be_v not_o only_o diligent_a in_o learning_n of_o all_o these_o part_n and_o other_o thing_n necessary_a appertain_v unto_o your_o art_n by_o mean_n whereof_o not_o only_o murder_v and_o other_o grevous_a misfortune_n which_o may_v happen_v through_o your_o ignorance_n may_v be_v avoid_v but_o also_o perpetual_a slander_n with_o all_o other_o infamous_a report_n and_o displeasure_n may_v be_v likewise_o avoid_v also_o and_o that_o in_o like_a manner_n your_o servant_n and_o child_n which_o you_o do_v intend_v to_o bring_v up_o in_o this_o art_n be_v learned_a not_o only_o to_o write_v and_o read_v but_o also_o in_o the_o tongue_n that_o he_o may_v more_o exact_o understand_v these_o part_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o and_o so_o by_o this_o mean_n you_o shall_v not_o only_o restore_v the_o art_n again_o unto_o her_o good_a name_n which_o be_v almost_o lose_v at_o this_o present_a day_n through_o that_o foul_a and_o ugly_a monster_n ignorance_n but_o also_o get_v unto_o yourselves_o perpetual_a honour_n and_o good_a fame_n and_o furthermore_o by_o your_o excellent_a knowledge_n and_o virtuous_a life_n and_o cunning_a deed_n which_o follow_v after_o and_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o knowledge_n by_o these_o thing_n i_o say_v and_o with_o the_o help_n of_o the_o high_a and_o mighty_a lord_n god_n you_o shall_v abolish_v and_o put_v down_o these_o wicked_a and_o pernicious_a sect_n which_o be_v no_o less_o unprofitable_a unto_o god_n people_n in_o the_o common_a wealth_n of_o their_o country_n than_o caterpillar_n and_o grassehopper_n be_v unto_o the_o fruit_n and_o herb_n of_o the_o ground_n which_o sect_n be_v not_o only_o pernicious_a as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o but_o perilous_a and_o selaunderous_a unto_o you_o that_o be_v the_o true_a professer_n of_o the_o art_n for_o they_o call_v themselves_o by_o the_o name_n of_o physician_n or_o surgeon_n and_o the_o simple_a ignorant_a people_n do_v so_o receve_v they_o or_o think_v they_o to_o be_v but_o in_o deed_n they_o be_v such_o as_o christ_n speak_v of_o where_o he_o say_v that_o they_o come_v in_o sheep_n clothing_n &_o be_v raven_a wolf_n so_o these_o come_v with_o good_a name_n &_o be_v crafty_a and_o pernicious_a deceaver_n which_o be_v to_o be_v drive_v out_o of_o every_o good_a common_a wealth_n thus_o most_o gentle_a reader_n i_o have_v trouble_v you_o with_o a_o long_a talk_n desire_v you_o to_o bear_v with_o my_o simple_a and_o rude_a stile_n wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o it_o have_v be_v better_a and_o desire_v you_o most_o
