G. for H. Seyle at the Black Boy over against S. Dunstans Church in Fleetstreet 1656. To the Honourable and singularly vertuous Mrs. Margaret Morley of Glyn in Sussex The Author consecrateth these his Labours Honourable Mrs. THe principall motive which impelled mee to consecrate the subsequent Treatise unto your Name is the same which at the first invited me to pen it and that was to publish it to the benefit of the Towne and Countrey wherein I live that every one that would but take the paines to peruse this little Tract make triall of the receipts of Physick and Chirurgery at large declared therein might much benefit themselves doe much good to their acquaintance friends Honoured Mistress nothing hath more afflicted me than the death of him who truly honoured you in his life and was truly beloved by you to his death your dear Brother my best Friend William Morley Esquire who died of this contagious disease the Small Pox. I shall ever admire and proclaim his vertues and goodness who of his innate noble disposition loved all his followers in generall as his fellow-souldiers I wept for him at his death as for a Brother and after death saw him honourably buried as a Souldier but I 'le lament no more his death who is translated into a better life nor weepe for him that is in joy nor put on mourning clothes for him that is clothed with Immortality whom death hath parted I hope blessed eternity shall at length bring together again So I leave him and returne to you I have strived to shape my subject to the affection of so honourable a Patroness as your self to whom I dedicate this rude piece which I could have wished might have been undertaken by a more able workman vouchsafe therefore to shroud under your protection this unpolished worke which I offer not as a Present but as a Homage I owe you And therefore the marke I chiefly aimed at was not at any vain hope of praise to my self which how little I hereby deserve I am not so weak but to perceive but to leave a testimony to my Countrey how much I desire her benefit and to your self how much I am bound to remain Mistress Yours in all dutisull observance A. Westwood The PREFACE TO The Reader Courteous Reader THe chiefest thing that induced me to publish these Collections was a principall aim at the good of these in the town wherein I live which hath been much visited with these 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Variolae or Small Pox. And therefore I have adventured to divulge many receipts of my Fathers who lived an able Physitian and in great practice above fifty yeares in this Town of Arundell I have also set down many receipts by me daily practised and therefore need no probatum to be annexed with divers varieties not published by any heretofore which I hope will be to the great benefit of all such as shall have occasion to practise any thing herein contained where I strive not to set forth an eloquent style as if it were some fancy-delighting History but a plain way to help the poorer sort I here produce a thing serious and for the generall good especially of those whom it shall please God to visit with this disease Some perhaps will think that those who knowing such things would be loth to publish them and make their Science common but I am rather of the mindes of those who once a yeare writ in the temple of AEsculapius all the cures they had performed and by what remedies and I think with Aristotle that a good thing is the better the more common it is and as Cicero saith we are not born to our selves if any thing in this small Tract may bring glory to God any good to his People I have my desire and aim I will not stand to amplifie any further because all that I seek in this book is to eschew prolixity for I know there are a sort of Criticks that will rather carp at a fault than amend it But Reader I end craving thy faveurable acceptation which will encourage me to publish a very necessary Tract of the Diseases of Women and Children intituled De Morbis mulierum infantium Thus much I thought good to acquaint thee with wishing thee all happinesse Thy well-wishing Friend Anth.
