of the vaine glorious are of force to holde me backe since I am moued hereto by three notable causes The first is to pleasure my coūtrie and friendes amongest whom your worship is chiefe and therefore some fruite of my pooer painfull practise are due vnto you hoping also as other more learned do in the publishing of their bookes that these fewe lines partly by the study of other good authors partly also by mine own experiēce collected may vnder your worships protection be defended against Sicophantes and faultfinders of you whose witte prudence and authoritie in this countrie to this respect is of great force among vs This litle labour therefore it may please your worshippe to accept as the hartie present of a friend poore and faithfull to you offred this present yeare of your new Office to be a monument to posteritie of that good will I beare towardes you in woordes and would declare the same in deedes if habilitie were correspondent to my will. Another cause is for that I protest my selfe to haue set forwarde and finished this my present enterprise deuoyde altogether as knoweth God of hautie minde or stout courage but with so simple and zelous harte that neither ill will with all his mischieuous dartes vainglorie with his pranked pikes nor enuie with his sodain shot are once able to geue me repulse or touche And the last cause is the remembraunce of Aristotle his saying Bonū quo communius tanto prestantius So that to pleasure and profite other men is best and moste to be desiered but seeing as the prouerbe monisheth Non datur cuique adire Corinthū I shall thinke my penne and time well employed if I may profite some men One sorte of people there are and that is the learned who are cōmonly geuen to disdaine the reading ouer of suche simple collections chiefly of this part of Physicke fulfilling the common saying Aquila nōcapit muscas and such peraduenture will litle regarde or lesse esteme it then the meaner sort to whom this booke is chiefly left who I know wil not disdaine or despise the perusing of this treatise of Chirurgerie as necessarie as the other more exquisite though some of late more precise then wise haue fondly affirmed foolishlye feined and frantickelye faced that the Chyrurgian hathe not to deale in Physicke small curtesie is it to breake faithful friendshippe or attonement but it is mad dotage to parte that which can not be separated Howe can Phisicke be praised and Chirurgerie discommended can any man despise Chyrurgerie and not defame Physicke no sure he that speaketh euill of the one slaundereth both and he that robbeth the one spoileth the other For although they be at this time made twoo distincte Artes and the Artistes seuerally named yet sure the one can not woorke without some aide of the other nor the other practise without the help of both For further assuraunce whereof learne of Hyppocrates who practised both together and in reading Galenes bookes you shall clearely see howe they embrace one an other with firme frendshippe and inseparable ●amitie Without diet I saie and purgation Vlcus sordidum or Cacoaethes with other like diseases may not be healed Herehence commeth it diuers times that many men almoste in euerie countrie decaie and perishe in the Arte of Chyrurgerie by the ignoraunt dealinges of Chyrurgians vnskilfull in Physicke Hereby also it commeth that so many Runnagates and Idle liuers make such daily incursions and ofte entringes into those worthy and misterious sciences who durst not route if they were at vnitie but that can not be so long as this errour is mainteined that the one ought not to participate with the other for so neither of them can be perfecte Seing that thing is onely perfect Cui ne minima pars quidem deest Great ruthe and pitie it is that so many idle Idiottes and Erronious Asses are permitted to practise this Arte of great difficultie that requireth so many helpes and sūdrie knowledge of things as the nature and names of diseases Simples Rootes Plantes partes of mans bodie and a thousand thinges moe whereof the greatest sorte of them are vtterly ignoraunt whereby they ruine the bodie with their blinde and desperate dealing ofte to the vtter subuersiō of li●e for as the bodie hath neede of the gouernement of the minde so hath the minde neede of the seruice and ministerie of the body which is the Tabernacle of the Soule and lodge of the minde A man shall haue ill lodging or rest in a ruinous dropping house and the minde lesse quietnes in a sickely bodie which may be through the occasion of locall Plaster or Poulder or Cerote vnaptly applied Therefore the Poete wysely wished in his praier for a frende Mentem sanam in corpore sano And Galene proueth that the discrasie of the one infecteth the other for a solitarie sad minde maketh a Melancolie bodie and a Melancolie bodie engendreth Melancolie passions of the minde This Art therefore well manifesteth the needefulnes of diuers sciences and qualities whose subiect Et materia circa quam is mans bodie worthelie compared to a Citie or common wealth For in a Citie there is but one gouernour if it be well ruled and that in mans bodie is
