A05049	A most excellent and learned vvoorke of chirurgerie, called Chirurgia parua Lanfranci Lanfranke of Mylayne his briefe: reduced from dyuers translations to our vulgar or vsuall frase, and now first published in the Englyshe prynte by Iohn Halle chirurgien. Who hath thervnto necessarily annexed. A table, as wel of the names of diseases and simples with their vertues, as also of all other termes of the arte opened. ... And in the ende a compendious worke of anatomie ... An historiall expostulation also against the beastly abusers, both of chyrurgerie and phisicke in our tyme: with a goodly doctrine, and instruction, necessary to be marked and folowed of all true chirurgie[n]s. All these faithfully gathered, and diligently set forth, by the sayde Iohn Halle.; Chirurgia parva.

lectures which he red vnto you in our halle to your great commoditie if the faulte be not in your selues of the whiche to be partaker with you my frowarde fortune and distance of place to my no small griefe would not suffer me And besides these diuers other which to abreuiate the time I passe ouer without the rehersall of their names whose diligence of late hath bene as vnto you at this daye it is not vnknowne to profite the common weale whose names therfore among vs oughte therby to florishe and their fame neuer to die or decaie And then let vs make a generall proclamation that who so euer hath professed the noble arte of chirurgerie and will fighte against the despisers and abusers of the same let them come vnder the baner of good authores nowe sent amonge them by our generall the creator of medicine arming them selues well with knowledge and good science and goe forth to battell against these deceiuers and their capitaine filthie lucre And their wages shall be well payde them namely good fame and liuinge in this life and eternall lyfe after this vale of miserie The which he grante vs all that dearly hath redemed vs with his precious bloude Amen VV. CVNINGHAM DOCTOR in Phisique vnto the professors of Chirurgerie salutations IT hath euer ben obserued frō the firste creation that nature by diuine prouidēce hath in all ages brought forth excellent and heroicall persons to the great comfort of posteritie folowing For as the Adamāt naturally ceasith not to attracte drawe to it iron and steele no more haue these ceased from the inuention of suche thinges as vvere nedefull to mans vse VVhich at the first like as tender and small sedes by times reuolutiō haue grovvne to high and mightie trees of small beginnings by trauelles of noble and ingenious persons frō age to age haue sprōg so many sondrie sciences ▪ artes and professiōs as vve see at this daie But for that in all times the numbre of these haue been most small the multitude infinite of those that folow ignorance prouidēt nature being yet fruteful hath brought forth in this olde feble age of the vvorlde as vvell as in times past diuine vvittes by whose laboures the treasures of science and knowledge vnto this present gottē should be preserued and defended from perishing maugre the forse of doultishe ignorance and cancard obliuion Neither in my opinion are they lesse worthy honor and praise whose famous actes mainteine and cause freshly to floryshe the precious monumentes of forworne age then the authours them selues For as we owe to the one the excellent inuention so are we debters to the other for the diligent propagatiō therof to vs their posteritie Neither are we more beholden to Apollo for the first inuention of the nature and vse of herbes then vnto Hippocrates who first seperating phisique frō philosophie made of his elders traditions and his owne diuine obseruations a noble arte And yet doth Galen merite no lesse honor immortall fame then either of them For he hath largely vttered that whiche Hippocrates did briefly set out opening plainly that which was obscurely writtē adding that which semed to wante and commendinge their actes vnto those that shold succede what grateful mindes we are of dutie constrained to showe to those that in this our age trauel in diuinitie phisique mathematicalles lawe historiographie poetrie Agriculture and other profitable studies not only the professours but all Christian publique weales being tasters of the commodities though I be silent can truly reporte And omitting that herein might be saide I torne my penne only to you the worshipfull brotherhode of Chirurgians in London vvhat prayse and worthie fame chiefly of you and then of those which haue nede of chirurgerie Iohn Halle one of your felowshippe haue deserued these his labours doe apparātly showe For where as for want of good authors in your owne natiue tongue chirurgerie haue not a little decaied she is nowe againe by his painfull trauelles not a little restored And for as muche as in all studies it greatly doth profite to haue first briefe and compendious introductions he hath translated a short Isagoge of that noble Chirurgian Lanfranke of Millā named Lanfranke his briefe In whiche whether Lanfranke oweth more to him for the restoring of his decayed worke or he to Lanfranke for the immortall fame hereby obteined I can not easely iudge But this I dare boldly affirme that Lanfranke before being corrupted and of small vse is nowe by the laboures of my friende Iohn Halle purged and made pure so that henceforth I may rightly call it Halles Lanfranke In which is set out cōpendiously the curation of woundes tumores against nature Lanfranke nameth them aposteme● vlcers luxatiōs fractures and of certain griefes and diseases of the eies with a chirurgicall antidotarie But for because briefe treatises want not obscuritie especially to the yonger students Iohn Halle hath made an expositiue table setting plainly out as well the perfect natures of those simple medicines mentioned of Lanfranke as also of all the termes belonging to the arte And where as the preceptes of the arte or approued medicines can little profit the body of man in all his partes not exactly knowen he hath also added a compendious Anatomie in whiche thou maiest easely without great laboure learne that is herein requisite which booke of al the reste would not only be first redde but also cōmitted to memory This good halle yet seaseth not nor suffereth his priuate gaine to call him awaye but with pitie beholding decaied chirurgery to be daily defaced by a rable of rōnagates hath made against them an historicall Expostulation in whiche he showeth the difference betwixt the chirurgien and the rōnagate abuser Al which his workes being set out to your great increase in knowledge requireth not only present thākes but a perpetuall memorie to be made among you of him for euer This author also hath finished an other worke inuaying against vice and therfore named the court of vertue being nowe in the Printers handes Takinge these therfore his trauelles in good parte he frely and gladly offereth them to you you shall both eschewe the suspicion of ingratefull Momus and geue him occasion to attempte greater thinges to your cōmoditie and gaine Fare hartely well at my howse in Colmāstrete this .xviii. daye of Aprill Anno M.D.lxv Thomas Gale maister in Chirurgerie unto his welbeloued friende Iohn Halle sendeth greting FOr as muche as translation is the mother of patefaction and a vertue moste commendable of al mē because it vncouereth ignorāce and illustrateth the knowledge of many notable matters vnto the vulgar people I thought it most mete and expediēt therfore with some consolation to cōfort you welbeloued frend Halle which peraduēture being somwhat astonied and afrayde of the cōmon peoples iudgement would detract that laudable and moste worthy enterprise which you haue finished neither would according vnto your vocatiō and office publishe

said hurtes by qualifyfying the hurtfull proprety of the medicyne It may please you therfore to leaue your blamyinge of Uigo or elsse if his doinges like you not set your pen to the booke and make a more perfecte woorke So shall the common wea● geue you thankes Otherwise we must necessarily iudge that ye speake suche vprobrious wordes against Uigo out of the mouth of enuye In the meane season Jexhort all my brethren Chirurgiens that they after due trauels taken in the former partes moste diligently studye the knowledge of symples and the natures of them from the most to the least so shall you haue perfect knowledge how to worke whether it be with symples or compoundes many or fewe For though Diogines threwe away his drinking dishe as a superfluous thinge when he sawe an other poore man drinke in his bare hande yet is it not euell a man to haue in hys house pottes and glasses yea goblets of siluer cuppes of gould for his hand is neuer the farther from him wherin he may drinke if he lift or when nede constreigneth him for lacke of an other vessell What if Diogenes had seene a man lye alonge by a riuer side drinking of the water onlye wyth his mouth as dothe a beast woulde he also trowe ye haue throwne awaye hys hande The laborynge man the poore ploughe man lyueth as long in good health wyth martelmasse beffe bakon homely cheese course breade and ●hin drynke as the richest noble man withall his deintye fare he can deuise Is it necessarye that prynces and noble men therfore shall be driuen to that fare because pore men can so liue There are diuers barbarous nacions of people that liue only with herbes rootes is it necessarye therfore that we shall leaue oure fleshe and fish and holsome bread It is an olde sayinge that store is no sore and plēty no deinty Is it not better to know so much that I may take and leaue then to know so litle that I shal many times lacke Hinder not the diligent mindes therfore of such as wold learne for though some thinke it a thinge vnmete for theyr age to learne yet wherfore shuld they discourage yoūg mē for whose estate and age it is most meete to seke for knowledge For whyche cause Aristotle councelled men in theyr youthe to learne ye saythe he allthough it be painfull for it is lesse peyne for a man to learne in hys youthe then in age to be vncunninge Oh worthy saying Thys sentence of Aristotle I wish rather to be weyed and folowed then that any mannes minde should be remoued from study and diligence to learne with fonde perswasions Some will saye I am an olde man and haue done great cures and neuer knewe so muche and my master before me was an auncient man and was neuer so curious Surely science at some time florisheth whych in time to come is darkened againe by ignorance so that time maketh all thinges old and after bringeth forth that olde thynges againe causing them to be called newe The frutefull bookes of Dioscorides Hippocrates Galen and Plini are olde and auncient thinges ye they were counted so old that some of them wyth most men were worne oute of minde and the goodly doctrines also conteined in them Yet time bringing forthe the same thinges againe in other men they are called new lerning ye of some newe fāgles though it be the very same auncient thinges no thing elsse Such an enemy vnto knowledge is ignorance euermore murmuring and grudging therat with hainous reproche Therfore let all men that minde to haue perfection of any good science arme them selues with patience and constācy and regard not such vaine iangling but goe forth to your businesse not caring for their bablinge euen as you may see the very great and stout horsses shewing the like example which passe forth on their way not once regarding the barking of curres nor shewing anye token of reuengment for euen suche iangling wil time weare and wast and consume also suche enuious disdaine Accept my good will therfore I moste hartelye desyre you all ye that loue to learne for as I loke at your handes to finde good report and loue whych is the frute of a good gentle inclination so I loke at the hands of the enuious ignorant for none other but the frutes of theyr beastly nature So that in fyne it semeth that of them I may thus iustly conclude LIke as the flye that fedeth styll In vile corrupte degre Dothe still despise and hate as ill All herbes that holsome be And as the man whose trade was aye To scoure the fylthye gonge Of spicers shoppes was wonte to saye They stinked very stronge Or as the swynes filthye desyre Dothe flee eche holsome place And for to walow in the myre More gladlye dothe embrace In wicked men so wickednes Wil alway haue a sway Dispraising still throughe hatefulnesse Eche good and perfect way Fare ye well Thomas Halle to the gentle Readers that thirste for science wisheth the increase of knowledge in good thinges and as to hym selfe a Christian felicitye SEing that dere brethrē to publish these gestes to the prospect and iudgment of the rude multitude from whose face then it can not be kepte is an enterprise no lesse dangerous then to commit a skiffe or small whirey charged to horryble tempestes on the raginge seas howe greate cause hath my brother had to detracte or delaye the time of publishing the same yea how lyttle maruel had it bene if when it was finyshed he had neuer doen it So it might otherwise haue ioinde to oure handes for whose sakes he bothe tooke the paynes and is content to beare the bitter woundes of scornfull sclaunders dartes shotte alwaies by the arme of ignorance Not doubtinge thy good nature to be euer prest to thinke and saye the best and to take all thynges tollerable in good parte wherby thou mayste render to hym his hartes desire whyche is also no more then duetye for of mere good wyll I ensure thee he hathe done it Thoughe perhaps it maye more please some man to iudge with lesse loue that vaine glory was hereof the efficient cause to whome I saye that vayne in dede are all men and theyr thoughtes nether is there anye thinge as the Apostle saythe wherin we shoulde reioyce or whereof we shoulde boaste but onlye the crosse of Christe that is hys paciēt death giltlesse sufferāce for vs wretches In respect wherof all other things are very vain And Gloria sayth Seneca vanū volatile quiddâ est aura● mobilius That is glory is a vain and fletyng thing and more wauering then the winde Whiche vaine glorye in deede as he also noteth in an other Epistle couplinge it wyth ambition hathe doubtlesse caused diuers hyghe potentates to attempt manye dangerous yea and sometime most wicked enterpryces And is no doubte at this daye one vice cleauinge almoste in euery mannes bosome so large is follyes reigne But as
