ignorance presumption and quid pro quo of vniust Apothecaries Â¶ The thirde part shall discusse of the rashenes and lewde temeritie of a great many Surgeons Â¶ The first part intreateth of dyuers and sundrie errours and abuses of the vnlearned and wycked sorte of Physitions THAT excellente man great clerk Aristoteles who for his incomparable doctrine is of all learned men named the prince of philosophers hath this saying in the .vii. boke of his Ethikes Non oportet tantum verum dicere sed etiam causam falsi assignare that is A man may not onely tell the truth but he must also shewe and declare the cause of falshod and errour As who shold say The truthe can neuer so well appere as when it is compared to his contrary which is errour lye and falshode Quia opposita semper iuxta se posita magis elucescunt Contrary thinges set one against an other are always a great deale better knowen The philosophers of ancient time as it appereth playnly in Aristotle and Galen ye and in the holy doctours of the churche In many of their works had in a maner more adoo to confute the false errours sophistrie cauillations that were then vsed imagined as true doctrin theÌ„ they had to write the very truth it selfe The great mercy of God had neuer beÌ„ so wel knowen if the fal transgression of maÌ„ had not ben And as S. Paul saith in ye. v. chap. to the Romans Vbiexuberauit peccatuÌ„ ibi magis exuberauit gratia Where syn hath exceded there grace hath the more exceded And Christ in S. Luke the vii cha said of Mary Magdaleu Many syns ar forgeueÌ„ her because she loued much Nowe therfore before I speake of the abuses enormities of phisike I wil shew and declare first what is the part office and coÌ„dition of a good Phisition Thus doyng I wyl first alledge Hippocratis Iusiurandum that is the oth that Hipocrates wold that euery phisition shuld take before he practise any phisike I wil not recite the hole chapter but the chiefest parte first in latin then in english CaeteruÌ„ quod ad aegros attinet sanandos dietaÌ„ ipsis coÌ„stituaÌ„ pro facultate iuditio meo coÌ„modam omneque detrimentuÌ„ et iniuriaÌ„ ab eis prohibebo Neque vero vllius preces apud me adeo validae fuerint vt cuipiaÌ„ venenuÌ„ suÌ„ propinaturus neque etiaÌ„ ad hanc reÌ„ coÌ„siliuÌ„ dabo Similiter auteÌ„ neque musieri talum vulnae subdititiuÌ„ ad corrumpendum coÌ„ceptum vel foetuÌ„ dabo â–ª Porro praeterea sancte vitam artem meaÌ„ conseruabo Nec vero calculo laborantes secabo sed viris chirurgiae operarijs eius rei faciendaelocuÌ„ dabo In quascunque auteÌ„ domos ingrediar ob vtilitatem aegrotantiuÌ„ intrabo ab omnique iniuria voluÌ„taria inferenda corruptione cuÌ„ alia tuÌ„ praesertim operum venereoruÌ„ abstinebo siue muliebria siue virilia libe rorumue hominuÌ„ aut seruorum cor pora mihi coÌ„tigerint curaÌ„da QuaecuÌ„que vero inter curanduÌ„ videro aut audiuero imo etiaÌ„ ad medicandum non adhibitus in coÌ„muni hominum vita cognouero ea siquidem efferre non contulerit tacebo tanquaÌ„ ar cana apud me continebo The englishe is this And as concernyng the curyng of the sycke I will ordeyn and deuise for them as good a diete as shall lye in my power iudgement And I will take hede that thei fal in no domage nor hurte Nor yet any mans praiers shall so much preuail with me that I geue poyson to any man neither will I counsaile any man so to do Likewise I will geue no maner of medicine to any woman with chylde to destroy her childe Moreouer I will vse my life and science godly I will not cut those that haue the stone but I will coÌ„mit that thyng onely to the Surgions In what house so euer I shall come in my coÌ„myng shal be for the pacients coÌ„moditie and profite And I wil refraine willingly from doyng any hurt or wronge from falshode chiefly froÌ„ venereous actes what kynd of bodies soeuer it shal chaÌ„ce me to haue in cure whether it be of meÌ„ or womeÌ„ of fre or bond seruants And whatsoeuer I shal see or heare among my cures yea although I be not sought nor called to any whatsoeuer I shall know amoÌ„g the people if it be not lauful to be vttered I shal kepe close and kepe it as a secrete vnto my selfe Again â–ª the same Hippocrates saith in the bokÃ© or chapter called Lex To eschue tediousnes I wil leue the latin who soeuer saith he wyl truly get him the knowlege of phisike he must satisfie his mynd and as it were be accompanied with these guides with nature science a place mete coÌ„uenient for study lerning an institution froÌ„ childhod a labor peinful diligeÌ„ce with a long tune IteÌ„ in his boke de me dico he saieth The phisition must be of a good coloure and comely countenaunce and of a good disposition of the body he muste also be had in estimation among the common people by comely apparell and by swete sauours so that he be not suspected of to much excesse for by suche meanes the pacientes are wont to be delited In lyke maner the Physition muste see and studye that he bee of a modest and sobre mynde and not onely as concernynge modest talke but also in other things concerning his behauiour he must be wel disposed for there is nothyng that getteth a man better estimation and authoritie then to bee endued with an honest lyfe and good maners Hys countenaunce must be lyke one that is geuen to studye and sadde and yet not ouer much for so he should be taken to be stubborn scornful like one that disdaineth other mens company but on the contrary he that hath always a laughing contenance is geuen to too much iesture and mirthe is taken for a lewde person And therfore this must nedes be eschewed Also he must be iust and beare him selfe vpright in all his busynes and affayres c. In his booke De decenti ornatu he saith a Phisicion beinge a Philosopher is equall in a maner vnto god Item it is decent that the phisicion be gentyll and curteis for rudenesse and churlishnes are gretly misliked as wel of the whole as of the sicke He must often visit his pacieÌ„t and be diligent He may not declare all thinges to his pacient but some things he must kepe close from him and must conforte him with a liuely mery countenance And sometimes to withdraw him from his fonde desiers he muste rebuke him in resisting with sharp words and somtimes againe he must intreate conforte him with a dexteritie and gentle perswasion And yet notwithstanding he may not alwaies tell him of his present state nor what shall becom of him Thus much I haue brought out of Hipocrates to testifye declare the office and condition

phisition to knowe practise then to the Surgion as Electuaries potions purgations many other inward medicines If the SurgioÌ„ haue knowledge in Phisicke I meane that he know the complerions the nature of simples and the effect operation of compositions he may vse them els not For if he do he shal do as the blind man sho teth at the hare he shal worke at al aduentures and many times with the danger of his pacient I much maruell why the surgion should disdayne to come aske counsell of the Phisition when he hath any hard or doubtfull cure it can be no hindrance to him and to saye the trueth it is no great profite to the phisitian vnles it be for some riche man The good phisition will vse the poore as the poore and the riche partly for his money as well as for his loue and frendship For the phisition must haue his liuyng by some kinde of persons And not onely the phisition but also the poticarie and Surgion should deale charitably with the poore vse euery man accordyng to hys capacity But this I haue spoken Velut obiter as by the way Nowe to the purpose Manye perchaunce wyll saye plye any thinge to the swellinge without considering whether the body must be let bloud or not whether the swellinge or phlegmon be yet in fluxu that is a breding or in statu that is in the worst case that it can be or in the declination whether or when he ought to vse repercussiues resolutions or both together The generall rule of Phisicke saithe that in the beginning of all inflamations we should vse repercussiues that is medecines to repel and driue backe the fluxion of humours But I put the case that the swelling be in the Emunctories or that one hath the pestilence The surgion perhappes folowinge the generall rule will laye a plaster to repell the said inflamation or swellinge Doth he well thinke you he doth so well that cyther he putteth the pacient in great ieopardy or els he killeth him quite Wherfore the surgion must thinke that a great many things must be considred mo them one as often as he vndertaketh any cure of weight And muste thinke it no shame nor reproche to counsell with a Phisition in such matters For verely I saye to conclude in fewe wordes that no man be he surgion or poticarie shall neuer worke well without a true methode and learninge For loke what thinge so euer he taketh in hande what cure so euer he hath he beyng destitute of learninge shall neuer bringe it well to passe without the ayde helpe and counsell of the learned Phisition for if he chaunce to do any notable cure it shall be peraduenture more by happe hasard then by procurement and diligence Here I coulde bring in many other abuses of surgerie as howe some pretende and exercise phisicke to their shame deceauynge the people vnder the cloke of Surgerie some dryue of and linger out the time to haue the more money Some be so presump tuous that wil warrant euery pacient when oftentymes many by their negligence and for lacke of a good diet or some other good medecines whiche shoulde be appointed by the phisition dye vpon their hands Some wheÌ„ they haue done al that they can see that their pacient begin to go to wrack theÌ„ immediatly with all spede they will run to the phisition with their pacientes water and then to aske counsayle when it is to late and all because they wylle shake of the burdeyne from theyr owne shoulders to cast it vpon the Physitions necke and to put all the faulte in hym if any thyng chance otherwise then well that so they may be cleane discharged and vnburdened from all maner of blame and reproche Some frome towne to towne frome market to markette to vtter their tromperie theyr ware I woulde haue sayde and to shew their cunnyng among the homely and simple people of the countrey But all these wily and deceatful fashions are not yet throughly knowen nor can neuer well be vntyll suche tyme as a reformation bee made by some law or statute whiche I pray God to graunt shortely to his glory the Queenes maiesties honor the profite of we her subiectes common weale Amen To bothe the Vniversities Oxforde and Cambridge a Peroration THus much I had right worshipful to say And to declare most playnly to you all The great abuse committed euery day In this our art whiche phisike men do call The chiefest poyntes I haue in generall But onely toucht in this my lytell booke He may know all the matter in speciall Who so to it more narrowly wyll looke I meruayle muche and sore lament to see That such abuse hath ben suffred so long And is nowe yet it wyll none other be You and we haue me thinkes great wrong Therfore ye should no more the tyme prolong But seke some meanes the learned to defend With priuileges that to you doo belong And thus doyng you shall no man offend I euer had and haue yet at this houre A great despre bothe in my hart and mynde That euery good physition to his power Do all thynges well so worshyp shall he fynd But nowe there are physitions so vnkynde To God and man that they passe not a straw Whiche of bothe endes go before or behynde They are so void of truthe and feare of lawe This sort wyl now inueye with force might Straight agaynst me and this poore sely boke Wherfore I pray defend me and the right They wyll lay wayt for me and always looke What time theâ— may destroy me with their hoke I meane theyr toung so venemous and sharpe But by gods grace your helpe I shall broke That wel enough and not come in their trappe Mollibus haec non est sed duris dura Securis Dura secat damnum mollia nulla ferunt FINIS LONDINI In aedibus Thomae Marshi 1566.
