that much reading and long practise in euery Art makes men expert Per Contrarium I conclude you that haue neither read nor practised must needs ●e egregiously ignorant Assure your selues if you refraine not iustice will stand vppe and so restraine yee as there shall be nothing more noted than your ignorant practises and impudent courses In my life I was your aduersary in death I am your enimie Beseeching the reuerend Colledge of learned Doctors and worshipfull company of experienst Chirurgions to looke more straightly to your false deceites and close haunts that there may be sooner heard talke of such a rare obscure assurance● to worke what not wonders in Phisicke or Chirurgirie but he be rather lookt into or euer he begin than suffred to begin whereby any poore patient should suffer losse in triall of their blind skill so shall your cousenages be as open as your Actes be odious Subscribed Burcot This is somewhat like thought I if he had said any thing against cousoning toothe drawers that from place to place wander with banners full of horse teeth to the imparing of Kindharts occupation but I perceiue maister Doctor was neuer a tooth drawer if he had I know he would haue toutcht their 〈◊〉 Since he hath let ●hem passe I greatly passe not and yet in regard of the credit of my trade I care no● to haue a blow or two with them my ●elfe before I looke any further Sundry of them that so wander haue not to do with the means Kindhart vseth but forsooth by charmes they can at their pleasure fray away the payne which Kind-hart counts little better than witch craft if it could doe good and so to some of them haue I affirmed it But a proper slip-string some time a potty sc●le-marster now a pelting tooth charmer hauing ●o reason to desend his obscure rules quite put me to silence before a well learned audience the one a cobler the other a carman 〈◊〉 last a collyer These beeing poore men had I for pittie often eased of their payne yet was the remedy I vsde somewhat painefull but not long since they are come acquainted with the charmer I told ye of he in charitable consideration of their greefe promised to ease them onely with writing and after burning a word or two Tra●elling to a Gentlemans not farre from London I by the way chaunst to be cald to conferre with him at the same verye instant where reproouing his opinion hee put me downe with such a galliemafrey of larine ends that I was glad to make an end Yet got I a copy of his charme which I will set downe that I may make it common A Charme Frst he must know your name then your age which in a little paper he sets downe on the top are these words In verbis et in herbis et in lapididus sunt virtutes vnderneath he writes in capitall letters A AB ILLA HVRS GIBELLA which he sweres is pure Chalde and the names of thrée spirites that enter into the bloud and cause rewmes so consequently the tootheach This paper must be likewise three times blest and at last with a little frankincense burned which being thrice vsed is of power to expell the spirites purifie the bloud and ease the paine or else he lyes for he hath practised it long but shall approue it neuer Another sort get hot wiers and with them they burne out the worme that so torments the greeued these fellowes are fit to visit curst wiues and might by their practise doe a number of honest men ease if they would misse the tooth and worme the tongue Others there are that perswade the pained to hold their mouths open ouer a basen of water by the fire side and to cast into the fire a handfull of henbane seede the which naturally hath in euery seede a little worme the seedes breaking in the sire vse a kind of cracking and out of them it is hard among so many if no worme fly into the water which wormes the deceiuers affirme to haue fallen from the teeth of the diseased This rare secret is much vsed and not smally lyked Sundry other could I set downe practised by our banner-bearers but all is foppery for this I find to be the only remedy for the tooth paine either to haue patience or to pull them out Well no more for mee least I bee thought to speake too largly for my selfe I had thought to haue had a fling at the rat-catchers who with their banners displayed beare no small sway what I haue to saye to them they shall not yet heare because I hope they will take warning by other mens harmes Onely this I affirme that as some banner-bearers haue in their occupations much craft the rat-catchers is nothing else but craft But stay Kind-hart if thou make so long a 〈◊〉 betweene euery act thy iests will be as stale as thy wit is weake Therefore leauing those vagabonds to repent their villanyes Ile bid adie● to maister Doctor and sée who is our next speaker Robert Greene to Pierce Pennilesse PIerce if thy Carrier had beene as kinde to me as I expected I could haue dispatched long since my letters to thee but it is here as in the world Donum à dando deriuatur where there is nothing to giue there is nothing to be got But hauing now found meanes to send to thee I will certi●e thee a little of my disquiet after death of which I thinke thou either hast not heard or wilt not conceiue Hauing with humble penitence be sought pardon for my infinite sinnes and paid the due to death euen in my graue was I scarse layde when Enuie no fit companion for Art spit out her poyson to disturbe my rest Aduersus mortuos bellum suscipere inhumanum est There is no glory gained by breaking a deade mans skull Pascitur in viuis liuor post fata quiescit Yet it appeares contrary in some that inueighing against my workes my pouertie my life my death my burial haue omitted nothing that may seeme malitious For my Bookes of what kind soeuer I refer their commendation or dispraise to those that haue read them Onely for my last labours affirming my intent was to reproue vice and lay open such villanies as had beene very necessary to be made knowne wherof my Blacke Booke if euer it see light can sufficiently witnesse But for my pouertie mee thinkes wisedome would haue bridele● that inuectiue for Cuiuis potest accidere quod cuiquam potest The beginaing of my dispraisers is knowne of their end they are not sure For my life it was to none of them at any time hurtful for my death it was repentant my buriall like a Christians Alas that men so hastily should run To write their own dispraise as they haue done For my reuenge it suffices that euery halfe-eyd humanitian may account it Instar belluarum immanissimarum seuire in cadauer For the iniurie offred thee I know I need not bring oyle to
