A20850	A most excellent and compendious method of curing woundes in the head, and in other partes of the body with other precepts of the same arte, practised and written by that famous man Franciscus Arceus, Doctor in phisicke & chirurgery: and translated into English by Iohn Read, chirurgion. Whereunto is added the exact cure of the caruncle, neuer before set foorth in the English toung. With a treatise of the fistulae in the fundament, and other places of the body, translated out of Iohannes Ardern. And also the description of the emplaister called dia chalciteos, with his vse and vertues. With an apt table for the better finding of the perticular matters, contayned in this present worke.; De recta curandorum vulnerum ratione.

pleasures that they supposed them which were studious in any part of wisedome to be mad or distract of their witts For as much as they deemed the chiefe sapience which is knowledge of thinges belonging as well to God as to man to haue no beeing Since this noble writer found that lacke in his time when there flourished in sundrie Countries a great multitude of men excellent in all kinds of learning as it doth appeare by some of their workes why should I thinke my selfe iniured if I should taste of he same cuppe as my predecessours and other good men of my Countrie haue come Of whome I will repeate a few who in my time haue abidden the hotte and fierie assaults of Mo●…s sect As namely M. Thomas Gale M. Iohn Hall M. Iohn Bannister Maister William Clowes with others which in our time both written For being on a time in companie by chaunce it was tolde me vnto my face that there were too many bookes set soorth in the English toung and that our bookes did more harme then good and that the Arte therby is made cōmon For that quoth he euerie Gentleman is as wel able to reason therin as our selues A thing truely to be lamēted for if heretofore Emperours kings princes dukes Earles Lords Barrons Knightes besides diuers Gentlemen hath not onely red and practised the same but also greatlye augemented the knowledge thereof And I could well wish in these dayes it were better looked into both of Nobles Gentles Iustices and also of good Captaines for then the common weale should not onely be furnished of good and learned Surgions but also her Maiestie the better serued in the warres as well by Sea as by Lande And besides those that are Surgions would better follow their bookes and practise if it were but for shame that these Gentlemen should not discouer their blind practise and foolish ignorance And so bring this auncient and famous arte into great credit which now by meanes of gredie gripes and deuouring Caterpillers who onelie contemne learning is brought to great infamy and scandall But there be that can say what neede we care for bookes as longe as we can when neede is call vnto vs vj. viij or ten of our friendes to assist vs who are shal be our best bookes But I demaunde of these what if God send a plague and take away these bookes who are mortall Or if these bookes should be prest into her maiesties shippes and so be disseuered or what if one of these should happen into the countrie where no such helpes are where were then their knowledge Might not a man well thinke their patients to be as Hippocrates termeth them the Children of fortune and that they are cured by chaunce but not by arte And therefore it was not without cause that Maister Iohn Hall in his verses set after the third treatise of anatomy vseth these words VVHerefore of truth I can not cease to meruell much at Momus sect Sith nothing can their wits releace with ignoraunce so much infect For what a mome was he that saide these booke-men can but talke and prate And we are they that with our aide doe all the cures in each estate An other saith I can not talke but I will worke euen with the best Thus stubburnelie these buserds walke vppon their blinde customes that rest For if their talke any truth had a blinde man might coulours decerne And euerie foole and peuish lad might doctors be and neuer learne Then t is no time to slepe where growes such noysome weedes As doth bewray themselues by fowle and filthie deedes Such hideous haggs with tongus that stings declares a poysoned minde And who so doth them rightlie marke these sayings true shall finde For like as serpents subtellie lies lurking in their enne Deuising mischeues priuilie so doth these kinde of men Pursue vertue full egerlie euen with a Iudas kisse Saying forsooth their foolies doth deserue the golden fleece But ther 's no beast in wildernesse in mallis can excell Such secret foes which mischeife sowes the fire brands of hell Whose flattering spech and sewgered words with smiling in the face Be tokeneth such are Tigers whellps and of some dogged race THose kinde of serpents which doe nothing else but picke quarrells with authours I would aduise either to speake themselues or if their ignoraunce will not let them to laie their finger on their mouthes till other men tell their tale and not to make their haruest of other mens offences vnwillinglie committed while they themselues rest vnable to doe anie whit of good And thus good reader I will end expecting thy fauorable acceptacion of these my labours which expectation of mine if it be not frustrate I shal be further encouraged to impart the rest of my studies to thy commoditie Beseching the almightie God to blesse both thee and me with increase of knowledge and giue vs all grace to serue him Iohn Reade The othe of Hippocratus which he gaue vnto his desiples and scollers which professing Phisicke and Chirurgerie is very worthie to be obserued and kept faithfullie of euerie true and honest Artests althought he himselfe were but a heathen man and without the true knowledge of the liuing God yet for his noble and excellent skil in Phisicke and Chirurgerie he ought not to be forgotten of vs his posteritie but to be had in an honorable remembrāce for euer I Sweare by Appollo the Phisitian by Aesculapuis by Higea and Panacea yea and I take to witnes all the Gods and Goddesses that to my power I will vprightlie obserue this my othe I will accompte my Maister which taught me this arte my father in his case hee shall commaund my life and whatsoeuer hee needeth I will giue it him As for his Children I will hold his sonnes as my brethren and if they desire the knowledge of this arte I will teach it them without stipent or couenant I will instruct my sonnes my maisters sonns yea such as by hand wrighting are my scholers sworne and adicted to Phisicke the precepts rules and whatsoeuer else belongeth to the knowledge of the saide profession or touching the cure of diseases I will appoint them a diet to my power and in my iudgement commodius And I will defend them from hurt and iniury neither shall the requests and petitions of any man be they neuer so earnest so much preuaile with me to giue poyson to ane person to drinke neither will I giue my counsell or consent thereto in like manner I will refuse the mi●…stration of any suppositorie to the hurting or corrupting of the childe in the time of my life And in my profession I will shew my selfe pure chast and holy I will neuer cut any person that hath the stone but will giue place to stone-cutters in the cure thereof what house soeuer I come into it shall be to the patient his profite I will offer no iniurie voluntarelie to anie man I will eschew all
