CAncers doe happen most especially to women and to those aboue others that are barren eyther by nature or by election Of which sort are Noonnes others that haue chosen a continent and single life they doe happen also to men but that seldome The healing of these séemed to vs worthie to sette downe in writing in this booke because it is a great deale more easie to those that shall know it well then as the auncient writers haue set it foorth where vpon this is a common song euerie where almost among all the Phisitions of our time that the secret or hidden cancer is not healed at anis time but if it be to be cured they iudge it necessarie to vse the pallatiue cure as they call it and that it ought not to bée cut off which thing if it had béene put downe in the cancer exulcerate if had béene well spoken For to such exulcerate cancers the pallatiue cure onely profiteth For if they bée cured otherwise a more present and assured daunger is to be feared For they are woont to bée eaten away and consumed a great deale sooner by laying to medicines especially if corrosiue medicines be layd therevnto or by any meanes it happen any bloud to bée powred out of them But to cure the rest which are not erulcerate it is not so hard a matter as they thinke which doe sette foorth nor teach no cure of cancers at all nor showe how they may bée drawen foorth whereas they may notwithstanding bée drawen foorth whole without any daunger although it happen the same to be great But that cure of Cancers which is taught by writers whereas their intencion is all about resoluing the same that is altogether without effecte Which wée haue found verye often to bée in vayne although wée haue béene diligent in preparing and practising the same with diuers resolutiues Which sort of remedies are taught vs of Vigo and of Celsus Guido and others wherefore howe such manner of cancers maye without harme bée both drawen foorth and also throughlie cured I thought it good to put it in writing for the behouse of the common vtilitie and this is the bréefest order of curing which we shall teach you First of the whole curing of those cancers which are not exulcerate and scondly also of those cancers which are exulcerate we will with a verie ercellent palleatiue cure declare whereby we haue long prolonged many men and women and least they shuld for that cause perish we haue taken deligent care and inspecially a certaine man a priest we did so preserue aboue xx yéeres with this kinde of cure that before he ended his life he was thoroughlie cured And when he deceased he was more then foure score yéeres of age first at the beginning the most certaine signes of this disease are the encreasing of these cancers bigger and bigger for when the same be first bred they do not excéed the greatnes of a Chiche but in a yéere or two or somwhat more they become greater and harder in féeling There are other signes also set foorth of writers which ye may séeke for in their bookes Therefore when wée will cut foorth the Cancer we must first of all prepare the diseased body with a purgacion ministring therevnto such Sirupes for foure or fiue dayes whose nature is approued concoct blacke and adust colour For of those humours doth this euill first grow and increase After this some purgation is to be giuen which shall be iudged best to agrée with the complexion of the man The third daye after the purgation the second or third houre after dinner lette two youlkes of egges with the whites be well beaten together adding thervnto if you please a little Rose water There shal be also in a redinesse great plentie of plageants made of the most fine two of flaxe Furthermore small Cusshions or Boulsters with a roule or fillet fiue fingers broad and a good porcion also of frise or dags waine and a great roulling néedle and
