To William Clowes Esquire Sergeant Surgeon to his Majestie and at present Master M. William Lingham Master George Dan and Master Henry Watson Wardens To Richard Watson and Michael Andrewes both Esquires Surgeons in ordinarie to his Majestie and ancient Masters together with the rest of the Assistants Examiners of Surgeons the Livery and whole fraternity of Surgeons of London John Woodall an ancient Master of that mystery the Authour of the ensuing Treatises sendeth greeting in our Lord God everlasting BEloved Brethren publick and private salutations are Christian duties imposed upon all men by the holy Apostle S. Paul the time or frequency thereof unlimited Wherefore my self even now upon the putting forth of these my ensuing works by that precept am taught and do hereby send you a salutation greeting you in the name of the Almighty giving you thanks for the loving society I have found and respectively enjoyed amongst you for fourty years past and more till this present As also for your good likings and well approvings of my former works and editions yet extant with you namely my Surgeons Mate and Viaticum which now revised I have here with my other works again published which were by me penned in my love to you for the use of the younger sort of Surgeons your servants who when they had received their first rudiments from you as Apprentices yet neverthelesse as might be conceived were wanting of some further helps for their proficiencies in Art to the leading them on in knowledge as namely first to know the office and duties of a Surgeons Mate which my self first penned and published for their instructions and having therein proposed unto them the method of a Surgeons Chest and also opened to their view the composure and order of the first methodical Surgeons Chest for their further incouragement in way of Art I then gave them a help to the said Surgeons Chest namely I published for them a Viaticum a book so called in Anno 1628. for their journeying after which as followeth I have explained unto them such other documents as may be presumed that by their diligent endeavours and careful putting them in practice they may in short time become good proficients in military and domestick Surgery men fit and able for the service of his Majestie and the Common-wealth in their Science upon all occasions And moreover for as much as that contagious and noysome disease of the Plague hath of late yeares spread it self into many parts of this Kingdome which though now ceased may return at Gods pleasure none knoweth how soon my self as some of you know having in my younger daies lived in France Germany Polonia and other forreign parts for divers years together where for want of better and beneficial imployments I was forced for my maintenance to follow the practice of the cure of the Plague and having emboldened my self thereby ever as in an assured hope that God who had called me to professe the mysterie of healing would surely protect me therein I persisted in my endeavors and having kept my Papers of receipts and experiments together which I made in the cure of that dreadfull disease at my return for England I begun and practised in London the cure thereof first in the year of the great Plague at the first entrance of King James of blessed memorie and left not the Citie when the disease was at the highest neither then did I omit to visit and cure any that desired my help and ever since in some sort I have been helpful to the curing thereof neither will I desist from affording my medicine to the diseased whilest God spares me life and ability And further I have here for future publick good although by my own dear experience searched into the supernatural and dreadful causes symptomes crisis and cures thereof the particulars of all which I have in one of the following Treatises published to the help of my younger brethren nothing doubting but that some of them will by their better educations and further experiences therein furnish the following Ages with better documents then my slendernesse can unfold In the mean time since that for this fourty years last past no Surgeon of our Nation hath published any book of the true practice of Surgery to benefit the younger sort these my mean Treatises onely excepted I desire you to accept of my good will instead of good deeds at the least not to reject it till better comes in place by succession of time And so not omitting the continuance of my good affection

diseased people For who is so fit or to whom doth the whole use of all good medicines so justly appertain unto as to the Surgeon that is expert who by his Majestie is prest and thereby commanded as well as by Christian dutie tied upon all occasions to heal wounded and other diseased p●rsons Galen in his third and fourth books De meth●do medendi doth name the Artist Medicus that doth cure ulcers and wounds c. and many ancient Writers call him Medicus Chirurgus whereby it appeareth that the Surgeon is Medicus à medendo and retains the name Chirurg●s by performing the art of healing in a practick way namely by the hand and therefore is rightly termed Medicus Chirurgus and thereby is capable to use all medicines for healing And if so of necessitie he must not be fo●●idden lawfull practice otherwise how shall he well perform his scope of healing when he is either in Ship in Camp or but any where in the Countrey where Physicians either are not at hand or will not come as when and where contagious diseases happen namely the small and great pox or the pestilence c. Now here in all conscience the Surgeon is to be admitted to shew his utmost skill for healing mens infirmities without danger of any Law if he be a man lawfully called as aforesaid to the exercise thereof otherwise it were very unreasonable that the Surgeon alone should be pressed out of the healing of his Majesties subjects where no Physician nor Apothecary is admitted to advise assist or direct him and yet to practise should be held unlawfull for him when he performeth his best in any action or part of healing for his patients good But God be thanked there are both ancient and modern good Laws Orders and Ordinances which do manifestly enable a Surgeon to exercise his science and to breed up servants to be expert therein for the better continuance of the art and for the future encrease of good and able Surgeons for the service of his Majestie and the Common-wealth And to manifest the same his Highness not onely alloweth the use of inward and physical drugs and medicines to the Surgeons for his own service but is further gratiously pleased out of his own Coffers to pay for them as elsewhere in this Treatise more at large will appear Thus much in generall by way of Preface Now the Author in this following Treatise desires to excuse himself by way of Apologie to the Chirurgicall Reader for his over forwardnesse in the unfolding to the vulgar what he hath hereafter done by his explaining of a Surgeons Chest which he never intended untill nolens v●len● he was put upon it who having in his younger daies spent divers years in travel in forraign nations for the gaining of knowledge and experience in his calling setled himself in London where according to the weak talent of his education he endeavoured to obtain some answerable perfection therein that so by doing good he might give the better account of the dutie of his calling by cursing of such as committed themselves to his weak skill in which endeavours before he was in his own opinion worthie thereof it pleased the honourable Societie of Merchants trading to the East Indies in the beginning of the Trade to make choice of him and to appoint him Surgeon generall for all their imployments as well by Sea as Land reposing in him also the credit and trust for ordering and appointing fit and able Surgeons and Surgeons Mates for their ships and services as also the fitting and furnishing their Surgerie Chests with medicines instruments and other appurtenances thereunto Which credit and weightie charge so neerly concerning the lives of their servants reposed in him instigated him to imploy all his endeavours to answer their so great trust imposed on him For the effecting whereof hee had no way better to recompence them then by reducing their Surgeons Chests with all the particulars thereof into an order and method which was never undertaken before by any although very requisite but being once done it would not onely benefit them but also be a perpetual good for the service of his Majestie and the Common-wealth ●or by want hereof the said East India Companie and many of their servants as also many other publike actions abroad of great consequence have suffered much and namel● by unworthy impostors under the names of Surgeons to the dishonour of God and scandall of the true professors of the art of Surgerie by many mis●ries undergone both by the hardie Sea-man and valiant Souldier For remedie whereof and in want of some more learned and expert then himselfe he undertook the work the said honourable Company being ever most willing without limitation or grudging to beare the rea●onable charge thereof and to give approbation of the Authours weak endeavours which otherwise could never have been done who through Gods mercie and their favourable acceptance thereof hath performed the said charge and continued their servant to their contents for full twentie foure yeares alreadie Yet notwithstanding his dutie by reason of the trust reposed in him by his said honourable Masters wa● not therein fulfilled for he was if he would fabricate a new invented Surgeons ●he●t also tied in Conscience to instruct all and every Surgeon that was to make use thereof in their services in the knowledge and us● of all such m●dicines and new inventions as were of his production and induction And although it well might be conceived divers of them in knowledge otherwise exceeded him yet nevertheless in the true use of new medicine how good soever which he had intruded upon them not being within their owne former breeding and practice he was obliged also to instruct them in the uses and dangers incident by mistakes fit to be foreseene and that by writing As also he was further tied for his owne reputation sake to performe the same in some methodicall and plaine way And because untill that time no Writer that he could possibly finde out had ever handled or written any thing worthie of note of that subject namely of the methodicall composure of a militarie Surgeons Chest he was put upon the toyle and studie of new inventions for the fit composure of medicines and instruments and that without the helpe of Authours yea and without the help of the Surgeons themselves that were to use the said Chests who especially the more ignorant sort of them for their own private ends and in part to cover their imperfections and absurdities forcibly withstood him Yet notwithstanding all such discouragements after he perceived in himself any hope or abilitie of effecting the worke he proceeded on with courage being confident of the goodnesse and usefulnesse thereof for the preserving of mens lives and limbes and would also in time to come prove profitable both ●or the service of his Maiestie and the whole Common-wealth as at this day is manifest For this Work hath already turned the whole composure of
