many_o way_n frivolous_a and_o foolish_a for_o our_o body_n do_v not_o consist_v of_o little_a body_n call_v atom_n and_o of_o little_a passage_n or_o pore_n but_o if_o this_o be_v true_a it_o shall_v not_o be_v possible_a to_o show_v in_o what_o manner_n muster_v may_v change_v or_o alter_v the_o state_n of_o the_o same_o pore_n &_o if_o any_o of_o they_o shall_v show_v the_o truth_n yet_o we_o will_v not_o agree_v unto_o their_o sect_n because_o they_o promise_v that_o they_o will_v be_v content_a with_o their_o apparent_a community_n therefore_o let_v they_o not_o use_v these_o name_n neither_o let_v they_o hinder_v we_o no_o more_o in_o our_o matter_n for_o it_o be_v lawful_a without_o the_o name_n metasincrisis_fw-la to_o say_v in_o other_o word_n the_o curation_n of_o

know_v not_o what_o it_o mean_v for_o if_o they_o use_v this_o name_n as_o the_o empiric_n do_v than_o it_o shall_v signify_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o the_o action_n be_v not_o keep_v for_o if_o they_o say_v that_o certain_a faculty_n do_v govern_v live_a creature_n which_o we_o &_o all_o the_o ancient_a writer_n do_v affirm_v but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o repugn_v against_o the_o precept_n of_o asclepiades_n &_o also_o they_o propound_v uncertain_a thing_n to_o the_o which_o the_o author_n do_v not_o agree_v they_o touch_v the_o truth_n a_o little_a yet_o they_o command_v to_o eschew_v it_o but_o tell_v i_o true_a thessalus_n what_o mean_v this_o word_n metasincrisis_fw-la if_o thou_o say_v that_o it_o betoken_v to_o change_v the_o pore_n thou_o be_v deceive_v and_o suppose_v uncertain_a thing_n but_o if_o thou_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n to_o cure_v the_o particle_n grieve_v of_o the_o body_n as_o the_o man_n thou_o say_v no_o more_o than_o the_o emperike_v except_o the_o name_n for_o they_o do_v know_v that_o man_n be_v make_v whole_a by_o medicine_n but_o they_o know_v not_o the_o cause_n or_o reason_n by_o what_o mean_v the_o remedy_n restore_v health_n for_o none_o of_o the_o emperike_n can_v tell_v if_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o medicament_n change_v the_o pore_n or_o if_o it_o make_v a_o simitrie_n or_o if_o it_o alter_v the_o quality_n of_o the_o patient_n particle_n that_o be_v grieve_v howbeit_o the_o emperike_n be_v discreet_a man_n if_o they_o say_v that_o they_o know_v only_o one_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o they_o have_v note_v and_o observe_v the_o time_n how_o utility_n have_v follow_v when_o the_o medicament_n of_o mustard_n have_v be_v minister_v to_o such_o ulcer_n and_o in_o what_o time_n nevertheless_o they_o speak_v not_o of_o method_n neither_o yet_o repugn_v against_o it_o neither_o be_v displease_v with_o the_o notice_n thereof_o nor_o dispraise_v the_o ancient_a writer_n neither_o hippocrates_n but_o rather_o praise_v he_o and_o affirm_v that_o he_o have_v say_v all_o thing_n well_o but_o thessalus_n do_v not_o only_o despise_v hippocrates_n but_o all_o the_o other_o ancient_a physician_n neither_o do_v he_o understand_v that_o he_o have_v write_v all_o the_o precept_n of_o rebellious_a ulcer_n without_o reason_n emperiklie_o for_o if_o he_o have_v write_v they_o well_o than_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v count_v a_o work_n most_o profitable_a but_o it_o appear_v not_o that_o he_o have_v do_v so_o see_v that_o he_o pervert_v the_o right_a order_n of_o remedy_n and_o use_v his_o remedy_n to_o the_o grieve_a part_n before_o he_o have_v prepare_v the_o body_n for_o this_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o great_a ignorance_n see_v that_o almost_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n in_o chirurgerie_n that_o all_o the_o body_n must_v be_v purge_v of_o the_o evil_a excrement_n before_o any_o strong_a medicine_n be_v apply_v unto_o the_o affect_a part_n for_o who_o be_v he_o that_o will_v judge_v either_o by_o reason_n or_o experience_n for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o three_o thing_n to_o judge_v by_o in_o what_o art_n so_o ever_o it_o be_v nor_o in_o any_o part_n of_o life_n he_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o reason_n for_o a_o man_n to_o minister_v strong_a &_o hot_a medicine_n to_o any_o particle_n of_o the_o body_n before_o he_o have_v purge_v the_o body_n of_o all_o anoiance_n &_o prepare_v the_o same_o to_o health_n for_o the_o say_a medicine_n draw_v the_o excrement_n and_o superfluity_n from_o all_o the_o body_n like_v as_o box_v or_o ventosis_fw-la do_v &_o it_o do_v so_o fasten_v to_o the_o affect_a part_n that_o it_o may_v be_v scarce_o remove_v therefore_o it_o must_v be_v ask_v of_o these_o thessalion_n from_o whence_o this_o opinion_n come_v to_o thessalus_n to_o write_v fable_n as_o concern_v the_o curation_n of_o rebellious_a ulcer_n see_v that_o none_o of_o the_o emperik_v nor_o yet_o rational_n have_v write_v so_o before_o this_o time_n for_o neither_o thessalus_n himself_o neither_o any_o other_o of_o his_o sect_n dare_v affirm_v that_o the_o order_n of_o such_o remedy_n either_o do_v agree_v with_o experience_n or_o reason_n for_o neither_o can_v they_o give_v indication_n of_o time_n neither_o yet_o of_o the_o affect_v of_o the_o disease_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o thessalus_n be_v not_o all_o together_o ignorant_a because_o he_o judge_v that_o the_o cause_n the_o hinder_v the_o ciccatrise_n must_v be_v consider_v and_o take_v away_o &_o because_o also_o that_o he_o judge_v that_o this_o must_v be_v do_v not_o only_o in_o ulcer_n but_o also_o in_o all_o other_o disease_n as_o the_o ancient_a writer_n do_v admonish_v but_o they_o answer_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o they_o say_v always_o that_o we_o do_v not_o understand_v they_o as_o if_o they_o know_v perfect_o the_o thought_n of_o hippocrates_n and_o of_o all_o the_o ancient_n and_o they_o affirm_v the_o thessalus_n have_v a_o good_a opinion_n when_o he_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o community_n of_o inveterate_a ulcer_n &_o that_o hippocrates_n understand_v it_o so_o in_o his_o book_n of_o ulcer_n which_o write_v in_o this_o manner_n it_o be_v profitable_a that_o the_o blood_n do_v flow_v continual_o from_o the_o inveterate_a ulcer_n when_o so_o ever_o it_o seem_v needful_a it_o be_v not_o far_o from_o my_o purpose_n if_o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o the_o judgement_n and_o opinion_n of_o hippocrates_n though_o i_o have_v not_o promise_v that_o i_o will_v so_o do_v in_o this_o place_n but_o that_o which_o i_o will_v say_v shall_v be_v of_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o wit_n &_o knowledge_n of_o the_o ancient_a physician_n the_o which_o true_o as_o yet_o have_v give_v no_o sect_n but_o study_v with_o simple_a &_o pure_a mind_n to_o invent_v some_o thing_n profitable_a to_o man_n health_n it_o be_v well_o perceive_v therefore_o that_o they_o have_v find_v some_o thing_n by_o reason_n and_o some_o thing_n by_o use_n and_o experience_n then_o do_v they_o write_v their_o invention_n many_o time_n without_o give_v reason_n thereto_o and_o sometime_o they_o do_v and_o if_o they_o do_v give_v any_o reason_n it_o be_v to_o profit_v the_o reader_n for_o if_o they_o intend_v to_o be_v profitable_a to_o their_o successor_n and_o when_o as_o they_o know_v reason_n of_o invent_v thing_n then_o diligent_o they_o set_v it_o forth_o and_o where_o they_o think_v it_o obscure_v they_o think_v it_o superfluous_a to_o rehearse_v and_o therefore_o let_v it_o pass_v now_o it_o be_v well_o know_v unto_o all_o man_n though_o i_o hold_v my_o peace_n that_o the_o ancient_n have_v love_v no_o verbosity_n for_o that_o cause_n afore_o recite_v not_o only_a hypocrates_n but_o also_o all_o the_o other_o ancient_a physician_n sometime_o not_o make_v mention_n of_o the_o middlemost_a speak_v of_o the_o three_o thing_n for_o if_o the_o first_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o second_o the_o three_o of_o necessity_n must_v follow_v after_o the_o second_o and_o thus_o oftentimes_o omit_v the_o first_o and_o second_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o three_o i_o have_v oftentimes_o declare_v how_o the_o ancient_n and_o chief_o hippocrates_n have_v write_v after_o this_o manner_n but_o he_o that_o will_v know_v and_o perfect_o understand_v the_o manner_n of_o cure_v aught_o to_o be_v exercise_v in_o their_o stile_n and_o manner_n of_o interpret_n for_o this_o i_o will_v entreat_v of_o that_o which_o i_o have_v purpose_v the_o five_o chapter_n for_o those_o ulcer_n which_o after_o medicine_n to_o they_o minister_v be_v not_o cure_v those_o the_o physician_n call_v in_o greek_a cachoethae_n but_o we_o call_v they_o malign_v and_o rebellious_a to_o cure_v but_o we_o have_v speak_v in_o the_o book_n aforesaid_a what_o the_o curation_n of_o ulcer_n be_v therefore_o in_o these_o kind_n of_o ulcer_n that_o be_v
