What writers ought to consider and wherfore the Author hath made this worke COnsideringe with my selfe howe necessarie it is after the iudgement of right reason dayly experience and common knowlege of al learned writers for him that wil deliuer anye preceptes or doctrine auailable to this learned expert and cunning age principallye to weighe whether it be possible profitable and plaine whiche he teacheth or no and that otherwise it is but labor lost deluding of the studious and a very deceiuing of the time bycause of impossible things there is no abilitie of vnprofitable no gaine of riddles Sophismes and Oracles but euerie mans construction Therefore least I in these dayes wherin al Artes abound might séeme to take in hande the like to teach impossibilities to allow things vnprofitable and to commende impostures as Cornelius Agrippa hath done verie vainely other obscurelye and some fantasticallye besides other some that séeme to write as they knowe in their proper tong Englishe and yet their termes must be altogither forsooth in Latin and Gréeke or in some other forraine speach as though our lāguage could not comprehend so muche as their freshe wittes can discourse or that truth cannot be deliuered but in vnknowen words and termes far set clean contrarie not onlye to the iudgemente of our Elders but also to the beste of oure dayes as in the skilfull workes of oure countrey menne Chaucer Gowre Surrey Cheeke Chaloner Recorde Phaire Wilson Iewel d ee Digs Fox Holenshead c. is apparante So that as far forth as my learning and leasure will serue mée I do take this way I doe laye the best approued reasons principles groūds that I can gather following the example of the Bée out of euery floure aunswerable to al vertues subiect to our common phrase or talke for my rules dayly experience for my proofe and lawful authoritie for my warrant And although the high knowledge of Philosophie of many base wits and vnlearned is rather had in contempt vniustlye than commended as it ought lawfullye I haue notwithstanding chosen some of the wisest sayings of sundrye of the beste sectes as I haue condemned diuerse others of the worst according to the counsel of Saint Augustine that most famous diuine who willeth that whatsoeuer is true and appertinent to our faith that we ought not to feare it but to chalenge it for our owne from them which are no right owners thereof that if ordinarie meanes iuste lawes wise councels and holy decrées nor the heauēly doctrine the blessed word may not restraine vs from vice from sinne nor perswade vs to preserue both bodie and Soule wherein all felicitie consisteth as Montuus affirmeth agreable to al diuine instructions that yet at the least the very Infidels and Paganes following only the morall vertues may admonish vs to refraine from disobedient wicked wais to foresee both the one and the other when as we loke into their vertues voyde of spiritual grace he finde them to surmount ours that he borne vnder it that in baptisme haue promised to renoūce al wickednesse to embrace al our liues long the fruits of the spirit the déeds of grace But bycause the duties appertayning to Soule and Bodie of eache age state and condition shall be prosecuted in this and the ages following I will presentlye according to the reuerende rule of Phisicke shew what kinde of Nurse is beste to prouide for infantes that yonglyngs endued with the humaine graces or spirites the naturall vital and animall actions vertues powers or offices may haue these kept in them healthyly as also be instructed in all the other mētioned in the Epistle naturally christianly and ciuilly For vnlesse we handle first the natural dyet political discipline méete for infants howe shall we orderly come to the rest of our intent For this is certain that vnlesse there be a like additiō added to the naturall parts answerable to euery age as Galē most excellently argueth in stead of that which wasteth daily frō thē as in my discourse of growing liuing things I haue partly shewed a framing of the mind in al godly knowledge holy religiō by instruction neither can there be a soūd bodie long kept nor at al a vertuous religious soule found except it be by inspiratiō By reason wherof I do thinke best that the one the other be as soone as may be put in vre The holesome nourishmēt for the healthy bodie conuenient from the ve●ys birth the ordinarie instruction for the witting minde from the first perseuerance or vnderstanding And this doubtlesse in all such as are perfitly endewed with the things naturall expressed in the tenth Chapter of this worke shall the better be preserued if the things not natural as ayre meate and drinke sléepe
