THE REGIment of life wherunto is added a treatise of the pestilence with the boke of children newly corrected and enlarged by T. Phayre ANNO 1545 ¶ The preface to the booke of chyldren ALthoughe as I doubt not euery good mā will enterpret this work to none other ende but to be for y e comfort of them y t are dyseased and wyll esteme no lesse of me by whom they profyte then they wil be glad to receiue the benfeytes Yet forasmuch as it is impossible to auoid the teeth of malicious enuye I thought it not vnnecessary to preuent y e furies of some ▪ which are euer gnawynge and bytynge vpon them that further any godly sciences To those I proteste y t in all my studyes I neuer entended nor yet do entēd to satisfy y e mindes of any such pikfaultes which wyll do nothynge but detract and iudge other snuffynge at all that offendeth the noses of theyr momishe affeccions howsoeuer laudable it be otherwayes but my purpose is here to doe them good that haue moost nede y t is to saye children and to shewe the remedies that god hath created for the vse of mā to distribut in Englishe to them that are vnlerned part of y e treasure that is in other lāguages to prouoke them that are of better lernīg to vtter theyr knowlege in such lyke attemptes finally to declare that to the vse of many whiche ought not to be secrete for lucre of a fewe and to communicate the frute of my labours to them that wyl gently and thankefully receyue them which yf any be so proude or supercilious that they immediatly will despise I shal frendly desyre them with the wordes of Horace Quod si meliora nouisti Candidus imparti si non his vtere mecum If they knowe better let vs haue parte yf they doe not why repine they at me why condemne they the thing that they cannot amēd or yf they can why dissimule they theyr cōnyng how long would they haue the people ignoraunt why grutch they phisike to come forth in Englysshe wolde they haue no man to knowe but onely they Or what make they thē selues Marchauntes of our lyues and deathes that we shulde bye our healthe onely of them and at theyr pryces no good phisicion is of that mynde For yf Galene the prynce of thys arte beyng a Greciā wrote in y e Greke kynge Auicenne of Arabie in the spech of his Arbyans Yf Plinius Celsus Serenus and other of the Latines wrote to the people in the Latyne tonge Marsilius Ficinus whome all men assente to be singulerly learned disdayned not to wryte in the language of Italy generally yf the entent of all that euer set forth any noble studye haue ben to bee read of as many as wolde What reason is it that wee shulde huther muther here among a fewe the thing that was made to be common vnto all Chryst sayeth no man lyghteth a candle to couer it with a bushell but setteth it to serue euery mans nede these go about not only to couer it when it is lyghted but to quench it afore it be kīdled if they myght by malice whych as it is a detestable thynge in any godlye science so me thynketh in thys so necessarye an arte it is excedynge damnable and deuylyshe to debarre the fruycion of so inestimable benefytes which our heauenly father hath prepared for our comfort and innumerable vses wherwyth he hath armed our impotent nature against the assaultes of so many sicknesses whereby his infynyte mercye and aboundaunte goodnesse is in nothyng els more apparauntly cōfessed by the which benefites as it were with moste sensible argumentes spokē out of heauē he onstraineth vs to thinke vpon our owne weakenes and to knowledge that in al flesh is nothyng but myserye sycknesse sorowes synne afflicciō and death no not so muche strengthe as by oure owne power to relyeue one member of our bodyes dyseased As for the knoweledge of medicines comforte of herbes maintenaunce of health prosperytie and life they be his benefites procede of hym to the ende that we should in common helpe one an other and so lyue together in hys lawes and commaundementes in the which doyng we shal declare oure selues to haue woorthelye employed them and as frutefull seruauntes be liberallye rewarded Otherwyse vndoutedly the talente whyche we haue
