THE ANATOMYES of the True Physition and Counterfeit Mounte-banke wherein both of them are graphically described and set out in their Right and Orient Colours Published in Latin by Iohn Oberndorff a Learned German and Translated into English by F.H. Fellow of the Coll. of Physitions in LONDON Herevnto is annexed A short Discourse or Discouery of certaine Stratagems whereby our London-Empericks haue bene obserued strongly to oppugne and oft times to expugne their Poore Patients Purses LONDON Printed for Arthur Iohnson and are to be sold at his shop in Powles Church-yard at the Signe of the Flower de Luce and the Crowne 1602. TO THE RIGHT HOnourable Syr Iohn Popham Knight Lord chiefe Iustice of England and One of her Maiesties most Honourable priuie Councell GAlen one of the most famous Well-springs of Phylosophie and Physicke Right Honourable compareth Lib. de praecog ad Post hun qui rep Tomo quarte vnlettered Emperickes and Quack-saluers vnto Theeues and Robbers making this only difference betwixt them Quod hi in Montibus Syluis Illi in confortiss Vrbibus insidientur That is they take a Purse by the high-way in Woods or Forrests but these do it in the most frequented and Populous Cities This graue Iuditiall and Peremptory verdit and sentence of that great Phylosopher and renowmed Physition dooth more closely attach and strongly arrest our ignorant Intruders and bolde Periclitators in the Practise of Physicke then all the world is aware of This I hope shall euidently appeare vnto your L. by the two Treatises ensuing the one of them being written in Latin by a Learned German and by me put into an English Coate for the good of my Country-men and the other a short Obseruation of mine owne It is a Maxime among Diuines that Simulata Sanctitaes est duplex Iniquitas In like sort it may be said that fained knowledge is double Ignorance both because it is Ignorance and because it lyeth and counterfeiteth Skill and Science For if it be a point and part of good wisedome for a man to see and acknowledge his owne weaknesse and insufficiency and therevpon to keepe within Compasse and meddle not with the Shoe-maker Vltra Crepidam It must needs be an increase of Folly Vanitie and Arrogance for any to pretend Skill and knowledge in those Things wherein they are altogether vnacquainted and to professe those Arts which they neuer learned But our Emperickes and Impostors as they are too ignorant either to Teach or Practise Physicke which they neuer saluted from the threskhold and too insolent and arrogant to learne of the Maisters of that Facultie or to be reduced into Order so are they most dangerous and pernitious vnto the Weale-publike Among wild Beasts saith one Enuy is most Sauadge exitiall and among tamed Beasts Flattery The reason is because the Sycophant is least of all feared and most difficultly discerned and discouered These Crocodils disguised with the vizard of fained Knowledge and masking vnder the specious Titles of Physitions and Doctors not attained in Schooles but imposed by the Common people do with their Absolonicall Salutations steale away the affections of the inconstant Multitude from the Learned Professors of that Facultie and with their Loablike Imbracings stabbe to the hart their poore and silly Patients ere they be aware or once suspect such vncouth Trechery The more worthy excellent the Obiect of any Art is the greater and more daungerous is the Error of the Artist if he faile in his Office If a Taylor marre a Garment or the Potter breake the Vessell he should make the matter is not great But as he said in the Comicall Poet Graue est Periculū in Filio So great is the Hazard and greater is the Fault committed in the Bodie of Man the Domicil and Palace of the immortall Soule and as Zoroaster calleth it audacis Naturae stupendum Miraculum I omit as small matter their liuing vpon the Spoile and deceiuing the People of their mony and substance which yet the good Magistrate doth vndoubtedly respect but their hainous offences against the pretious Health and Life of Men whereof London hath many wofull Experiments in a yeare are altogether intollerable and in no wise to be silenced or pretermitted Neuerthelesse it is straunge to behold and consider how these circumforanian Impostors are dignified by the People flocked and resorted vnto in whole Troupes sought out far neare and equalized with nay which is the greatest Indignitie of all other preferred extolled before the most Graue Learned and best Experienced in that Profession If a man haue a scruple in Conscience hee will not repaire vnto an Hedge-priest as they are called or bare Reader hauing no more Diuinitie thē a Child of ten yeares old for resolution but to some Learned godly and Iuditiall Diuine If a Suit in Lawe he will not resort to a Husbandman or Artificer for Counsell and Direction but to a Skilfull well studyed and approoued Lawyer And yet such is the extreme folly and madnesse of many Men that in case of Health and Life Things most pretious they think euery Tinker Bankerupt or wandering Fugitiue who hath ouer runne his Creditors forsaken his Trade and seeketh to liue like a Droan without any Calling a sufficient and compleat Physition to aduise counsell and direct them It will be said that these Good-fellowes haue bene obserued to performe some Cures and to haue good successe in their Actions It hath bene likewise knowne that a common Mariner the Maister and Gouernor of the ship dying or miscarying by some Accident hath safely brought the Barke to shore and arriued at the wished Hauen and yet no man if hee may chuse will willingly sayle with such a Pylot A Company of vntrained and rawe Souldiers which neuer saw Field or Warre before haue vanquished and put to flight a Band of Veterans invred for many yeares and well exercised in martiall Affaires And yet no Commaunder will prefer the punee and fresh-water Souldier before the auncient tryed and well-disciplined Warriour Vna hirundo non facit Ver Though that bee admitted which notwithstanding if the Instances be well scanned will be a difficult matter to proue yet I hold firmly with incomparable Galen my former Position that they are bad and dangerous Members of the State and in no sort sufferable in any well-ordered Common-wealth I do therefore presume to offer these my slender trauailes vnto your L. who as you are a zealous Louer of your Country a for-ward Professor of the Gospell an incorrupt and vpright Iusticer a Friend to Vertue and Men of Desert a professed Aduersary to all Malefactors So I nothing doubt but you wil take vpon you the Patronage of the Learned and honest Physition against the Ignorant and Couzening Mounte-banke Among your other manifolde and Honourable seruices performed to your Prince and Country wherby you haue commended your Name and Memorie to all Posteritie it is not the last nor least that by your watchfull Prouidence and
