Socio TO THE HONOURABLE William Blathwayt Esq Secretary of War SIR MY Adversaries having Dedicated a Piece to You wherein they desire Your Patronage of Truth which they pretend to be on their Sides I also being sufficiently satisfied that the greatness of Your Soul is such as not to be amused with Specious Pretensions have presumed also to Dedicate this Piece to You which altho I have not had time to put into any order yet it contains most indisputable Truths I beg not any other Favour of You than if Truth inclines to my side that You will afford me Your Patronage which my own Experience is sufficient to assure me that my Request will be as readily granted as desired I am SIR Your most Obliged and Obedient Servant to Command JO. COLBATCH TO THE READER ON the 18th day of this Instant April there came to my Hands a little Libel set forth by my old Friends the Surgeons At first I thought it would not be worth my spending any time in Writing an Answer to it Till at last I concluded That if I should be altogether Silent till the end of the Campaign they might in my Absence triumph amongst themselves and make the Vnthinking Part of the World believe that I had given up my Cause and yielded all for lost To prevent which I have in the midst of my Multiplicity of Business spent a few Hours in composing the following little Tract The which I must own to be full of many Imperfections yet contains nothing but truth and therefore for Truths sake I doubt not but the Candid Reader will pass over those other Failings that he may meet with The Charges laid against me are very numerous and were they but as true I must of consequence be the most vile Creature alive But I having been used so much to the Scurrility of some of that Fraternity there is nothing but I can bear from them and indeed I should be to blame if I should not be content to give Losers leave to speak And so much the more by reason that their Diana I mean their ill Practices being detected the World will be so wary as to have a Care of them is falling into Disgrace to keep up whose Reputation tho to the great Prejudice of Mankind they will not fail to make their utmost Efforts A drowning Man will lay hold on every Twig To be sure if making a Noise and using ill Language will do any thing towards the Preservation of their sinking Credit that shall not be wanting As I have before said so I repeat it again That both the City of London and the English Army afford a great many Surgeons who are Men of extraordinary Worth from whom I have received many Civilities and instead of being discouraged by them I have been to the utmost of their Powers assisted in carrying on my Designs I have had an occasion once to mention Mr. Bernard's Name the which I could not possibly avoid But I am so far from charging him with any thing that is unfair that there is nothing more For I cannot hear of any one who hath at any time heard him say That the Man at the Hospital bled again after my Powder was applied and had stopt the Flux of Blood Nay I have been informed That he was altogether against the Publishing of that Scandalous Libel telling the Authors that it was in vain to write against Matter of Fact Whether this Relation be true or not I am not certain But this I am sure of that he is a very great Man and the Honour of his Profession And I verily believe he scorns a mean Action I heartily wish I could say the same of Mr. Cooper and others from whom I never deserved ill There was scarce an Experiment I made last Year in Flanders but there were several Officers Spectators so that if I had not performed what I pretended to I must quickly have been detected But I thank God my Success was such that I have gained the good Will of most Officers of the Army whose Words will I suppose go further with all considerate Men than the Scandalous Malicious Reports of some interested Surgeons From my House in St. Ann ' s Court in Dean-street April 22. 95. Novum Lumen Chyrurgicum Vindicat OR A VINDICATION of the New Light of Chyrurgery THERE having lately stoln out into the World a Scandalous Libel Entituled Novum Lumen Chyrurgicum Extinctum wherein the Author or rather Authors I being very well assured that it was composed by a Club or Cabal of Surgeons pretend to ridicule notorious and known Matter of Fact He or they pretend to detect Imposture and to vindicate the Cause of Truth If so I leave it to the impartial Judgment of any rational sober Person whether the Author or Authors had any reason to have concealed their Names I confess there are the two initial Letters of a Person 's Name prefixed to the Title Page which if they answer to the Person whom I have some reason to suspect if his Name had been written at length his Life and Conversation is so very Scandalous he having last Year been cashier'd the Regiment to which he belonged for his Scandalous way of Living as I have been credibly informed by some of the Officers of the said Regiment that it had been sufficient to have deterred any one from reading any more than the Title Page alone The Authors have taken care to send this Libel into the World at a time when I am full of business in making my Preparation for Flanders and just upon the point of going away and so not capable of writing so full an Answer as otherwise I would have done and which may be expected at the end of the Campaign and also when the Officers of the Army who would have been my Compurgators are gone out of Town Mr. Hall Surgeon to the Honourable Collonel Fitz-Patrick's Regiment of Fusileers who had a considerable Hand in writing this Piece brings in the Major and two Captains of the said Regiment to justify a most
