and for whose sakes I haue taken this paynes I doubt not but that some Aristarchus or other whose filthie stomackes being inflamde with malice will attempt to nip off the crop of my future hope obiecting the barrennes of my soyle wherein it first tooke roote and my want of skill in trimming and proyning it as it would require to be such as small hope of frute is to be loked for to proceede thereof but high disdaine willeth no man good I giue them leaue to glose as they list knowing it most friuolous to afford vnto such an answere seeing in stead of reason there commeth nothing from them but either a disdainefull smile or a scornefull mocke but it skilleth not sith many of my ancients haue tasted of their mallice whome I may iustly compare to Antiphilos that peerelesse pickthancke Only vppon this hope do I rest that as in good will and loue I haue done it so the well disposed will censure it in the best sort and where defects are as I doubt not of many they will in friendly and charitable manner correct and amend the same which may occasion me to take some further paynes heereafter Farewell From my house this 25. of March 1593. Thine in all friendly loue S. K. George Baker in commendation of the Author AMongst all the heynous offences that euer were none were in time past so sharply punished nor more strayter lawes made then for ingratitude and in my iudgement nothing can more grieue an honest mind especially where good is deserued then to be recompenst with euill I doo not thinke that this booke can passe cleane away with the good liking of euery one but that it will drinke of the same enuious cup that other famous workes heretofore haue done I could rehearse a number that haue complayned thereof whose eternall fame shall neuer be extinguished The Author of this treatise his good and zelous intent and sufficiencie in his profession I knowe to be such as deserueth well His willing and godly mind to do his countrie good not only this booke but also many people both rich and poore that haue already receyued helpe at his hands can and will testifie the same This which he hath written is no new inuention but the ground thereof allowed both of auntient and later writers and besides he hath considered that in euery place a good Phisition is not to be gotten at all times so that the partie infected may be dead before any such helpe can be had yea and the most part of the best of them will not hazard them selues in so dangerous an enterprise he considering the same hath heere taught the most easye and approued medicines with the whole order of the cure not only for such as are infected but also haue to preserue them that are sounde What doth he deserue that thus hath done let the better sort iudge for the rest I thinke if either they haue the feare of God any sparke of honestie or iudgement in any thing they will for shame hold their peace least their ignorance and hatred bewray their folly and so deserue the same punishment which the wisest sort haue alreadie set downe which I hope none will so wilfully hazard to incurre Now considering his zealous intent it is the part of euery good minde to encourage him in so godly and good an enterprise whereby others may be animated to do the like and therefore considering the goodnes of the matter and necessitie of the cause the whole common wealth is to embrace him who lookes but only for a thankefull acceptance in lewe of his trauell which is the least may be yelded him Farewell From my chamber at the Court this 6. of Aprill 1593.
