are sick And this is the Cause that those who begin to study Physick and by the profession of it seek for renown and much profit must in the first place make it their greatest care that when by study they have learned the precepts of Physick they may know how to apply it to Men of mean fortunes that are Sick and from thence they may happily begin their first Practice In which business a smal estate is no little hindrance to the endeavors of the Physitian when oftentimes not only fit Nourishments cannot be afforded to sustain the strength of Nature but also fit Remedies for the Cure much dear and costly Physick fetched out of the Apothecaries Shops would undo the Poor and so make a new addition of more misery to the former Nature is liberal to provide for the necessities of the Poor and hath sent forth many matters for Medicaments that may be found almost every where and with little Art may be prepared for every use In which a Physitian ought to be as wel skilled as he should be in Medicaments that are for the Rich as Galen writes 6. de Comp. Medicam Per Loca Cap. 1. Especially since those Obvious Remedies are not onely profitable for the Poor But as necessary for the Rich when they are upon a Journey if perchance they should fal sick when they are farr from Cities and Apothecaries Shops This Treatise therefore shal be concerning such Remedies as are easie to be procured Thus far I have followed in this Epistle the Expressions of the Famous and Learned Doctor John Prevotius My intent in Publishing Books of Physick in English is not to make Fooles Physitians but to help those that are Ingenious Rational and Industrious though they have not that knowledg of Tongues that were to be desired I have and shal in my Books of Physick follow the most Honest and Learned in that Art But let me warn thee now as I have often before That there is great danger in Physick if they be not rightly prepared and given in their due quantities And alwaies remember thou shalt give an account to God for al thy actions done ●n the Flesh Therefore when thou hast to do in what concerns the lives of Men do nothing but what thou wouldest do if thou wert sure the great and dreadful day of Judgment were to begin the next hour I shal say no more but this I am resolved not to give over until I have Published in English whatsoever shal be necessary to make an Industrious Diligent Rational Man a knowing Physitian This is the aim and indeavor of Nich. Culpeper Mris. Culpepers Information Vindication and Testimony concerning her Husbands Books to be Published after his Death Courteous Reader SO great are the Afflictions wherewith our Heavenly Father hath been pleased to exercise me his poor Hand-maid that I have not only lived to see my dear Husband the Stay and Solace of my Life taken from me but it hath been my hard hap also to see his Reputation and Memory which will be dear to all Posterity for the Works he hath written for the Common Good of this Nation blemished and Eclipsed by the covetous and unjust Forgeries of one Who though he calls himself Nathaniel is far from being an Israelite in whom there is no guile who was not content to publish a Hodg-podg of indigested Collections and Observations of my dear Husband deceased under the Title of Culpeper's last Legacy but to make the Deceit more taking he steeled his Forehead so far and brased it so hard as not to be ashamed to forge two Epistles one in mine and the other in my Husbands Name of the penning of which he nor I never so much as dream'd And yet he impudently affirmeth in my Name that my Husband Laid a severe Injunction on me to publish them for the general Good after his decease and that they are his last Experiences in Physick and Chyrurgery And in the Title of his Book he saith They are the choycest and most profitable Secrets resolved never to be published till after his Death All which Expressions in the Title and Epistles are as false as the Father of Lyes and every word in them forged and feigned And he knew well enough that no discreet honest man that was a friend to my Husband or me would ever have agreed to such infamous and dishonest Practices and therefore I desire all Courteous Readers of the Writings of my Husband to take notice of this Deceit and to assure themselves that it never entred into his head to publish such an undigested Gallimoffery under the promising and solemn Name of his Last Legacy and that whereby he gained his Reputation in the World as the Imposter makes him speak in his forged Epistle And I desire any indifferent Reader that hath observed my Husbands lofty and Masculine manner of expressing himself in his Prefaces and Epistles Dedicatory whether in case he had been minded or disposed to take so solemn a farewel of the world as the Forger makes him to do whether I say he would have done it in such a whining fashion and so in the Stile of a Ballade-maker as to say And now if it please Heaven to put a period to my Life and Studies that I must bid all things under the Sun farewel Farewel to my dear Wife and Child farewel Arts and Sciences farewel all worldly Glories adieu Readers Certainly my Husband would have been far more serious and material in such a case as any discreet man will judg Neither can it be thought that in such a solemn Valeduction he could possibly forget his wonted respects to the Colledg of Doctors to whom he did so frequently address himself in divers of his Writings Courteous Readers I shall say no more touching the abuse of the Book-seller only to prevent as much as concerns me thy being abused for the future know That my Husband left seveyty-nine Books of his own making or Translating in my hands and I have deposited them into the hands of his and my much Honored Friend Mr. Peter Cole Book-seller at the Printing-Press neer the Royal Exchange for the good of my Child from whom thou mayest expect to receive in Print such of them as shall be thought fit to serve thee in due season without any Disguises or Forgeries unto which I do hereby give my attestation Also my Husband left seventeen Books compleatly perfected in the hands of the said Mr. Cole for which he paid my Husband in his life-time And Mr. Cole is ready and willing on any good occasion to shew any of the said seventy nine Books or the seventeen to such as doubt thereof And if any Person shall question the Truth of any part of this Vindication or Epistle if they will take the pains to come to me I will face to face justifie the truth of every word thereof as I have subscribed my Hand thereunto in the presence of many Witnesses I profess in
