CERTAINE VVorkes of Galens called METHODVS MEDENDI with a briefe Declaration of the worthie Art of Medicine the Office of a Chirurgion and an Epitome of the third booke of Galen of Naturall Faculties all translated into English by Thomas Gale Maister in Chirurgerie AT LONDON Printed by Thomas East dwelling betweene Paules Wharfe and Baynards Castle 1586. TO THE RIGHT Honourable Sir Henrie Neuell Knight Lord a Burgauene and his singuler good Lord c. FOrsmuch my singuler good Lord as I haue perceiued you to be naturallie inclined to the art of Medicine and chiefelie to haue vnderstanding in that part which is commonlie called Chirurgerie I haue not beene a little carefull since my acquaintance with your Lordship to further you in the same studie euen to the vttermost of my power and forasmuch as you haue so profited not onelie in the Theorike part but also in the practike I haue thought all my paines labors well bestowed And although I should holde my peace and saie nothing heerein yet a great number of poore men and others which haue bene cured of your Lordship of many sundrie griefes and diseases will set abroade and bewraie your notorious and charitable deedes And forasmuch as your Honour hath better vnderstanding in this worthie arte than a greate manie of those which take vpon them the name of Chirurgions I might verie well saie the most parte And forasmuch as your Lordship beareth such a singuler loue vnto the same arte I am therefore moued to dedicate these my simple trauailes vnto your Honour to bee the patrone and defender thereof for I doe perceiue that now in our time no good enterprise can be gone about but false detraction and enuie is like to ouerthrowe the same which hath mooued mee for as much as you are a noble man the rather to dedicate my trauailes vnto your Honour to bee my aide and succour in the defending of this my small trauaile which I protest I haue not taken in hand neither for vaine glorie neither yet for anie worldlie profit or gaine for since the first time that I beganne to sette out anie parte of this arte in our English tongue I haue both susteined great displeasure and also lost manie profites of those which were in times past my speciall friendes and the greatest matter that they haue to saie against mee is onelie that I goe about to make euerie bodie cunning in the arte of medicine with setting foorth of these my workes in the English tongue but if it shall please your good Lordshippe to vnderstand my bounden dutie first to almightie God of whom I haue receiued the talent and also my dutie to my naturall Countrie whom I ought to profite with my talent according to the saying of our sauiour Iesus Christ which saith He that hideth his talent in the ground and vseth it not to the profit of his neighbour it shall be taken from him againe Wherefore my good Lord I thinke it my dutie to set foorth these thinges for the commoditie of the common wealth of my Countrie What greater profite may come vnto any in the time of neede than to cure his grieuous woundes without which hee should presentlie die to cure his grieuous sores which dooth not onelie eate the flesh but fretteth and rotteth in sunder the great bones with most vehement griefe and paine and also great inflammations and tumours against Nature which taketh awaie the naturall actions of the bodie and molesteth it with most vehement and continuall paine and also curing of broken bones and bones beeing out of ioynt to restore them into their naturall places againe with many other griefes appertaining to the same arte which were heere to long to bee recited And for as much as manie haue taken vppon them the curation of these diseases aboue sayde and haue committed many great errors for lacke of knowledge to no small daunger of Gods people no lesse hurt of the cōmō wealth I haue thought it therefore my bounden dutie to set foorth my onelie one talent in furthering of knowledge euen as the poore widow did which had but onelie one farthing and put the same into the Lords treasure like as that same was accepted with almightie God so I trust he wil accept this my good will according to the knowledge which he hath giuen me so that at the last daie I trust he shall not saie vnto mee thou hast hidde thy talent in the ground and not profited therewith as thou shouldest haue done And also I trust that good men of my Countrie shal haue no cause to haue an euill opinion in mee either through negligence or idlenesse for that they may well perceiue that these trauailes do both require studie and time of setting foorth Now my singuler good Lord if they shall saie it is not good because it is in the English tongue then I must alleadge vnto them the famous men which were the chiefe setters forth of the same art as Hippocrates and Galen amongst the Grecians whatsoeuer they might vnderstand by foreine languages either else gather by reason or by experience or obseruation of time all these whatsoeuer they were they did write them in Greeke which was their owne language tongue to that end they might the better bee vnderstanded and sooner bee learned Also in like manner the worthie Arabians as that noble king Auicen Auerois Albucasis Mesue a great sort more of worthie men which did collect and translate manie noble workes of Medicine out of the Greeke tongue the Ebrue tongue and many other languages into their owne naturall tongue which was then the Arabian tongue In lyke manner the Latinists were no lesse diligent to collect and gather both out of the Greeke and Arabian tongue wrote it in their owne tongue as you may reade in the workes of those famous men Plinius and Cornelius Celsus with manie other more whose workes are manifest at this present daie If these worthie men haue beene moued with good conscience for knowledge sake and for the better maintenance of their common wealth in setting foorth of this art for the reliefe comfort succour helpe and health of those that be sicke and diseased or other waies wounded or hurt in warre or by mischaunce c. Why should not I then without blame or reproch for the furtherance of knowledge and other necessarie things aboue rehearsed set foorth in our English tongue some part of this good and necessarie arte for the instruction and further knowledge of those young students which are desirous to learne the same and to vse the same to the profite of the common wealth in the time of necessitie I doe not meane that honest Artists as Tailers Shoomakers Weauers or anie other handie occupations that they should leaue their artes wherein they are perfect and fal to this art of Medicine for I doe wish with all my heart that politike lawes might be made to constraine euerie man to follow that art in
