may_v be_v help_v with_o those_o medicine_n which_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o kind_n aforesaid_a of_o formicola_n and_o his_o effect_n those_o kind_n of_o ulcer_n that_o be_v common_o call_v maldi_n formica_fw-la be_v so_o call_v because_o they_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o mal_v ulcer_n and_o corrosive_n that_o go_v creep_v upon_o the_o flesh_n and_o make_v many_o hole_n that_o be_v lift_v up_o on_o

do_v also_o heal_v the_o white_a scalle_fw-mi for_o this_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o the_o pox_n as_o by_o the_o effect_n you_o may_v plain_o see_v for_o if_o any_o shall_v say_v the_o contrary_a i_o will_v answers_z he_o again_o that_o this_o may_v well_o be_v because_o the_o same_o infirmity_n may_v be_v take_v in_o the_o mother_n womb_n or_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o child_n be_v bear_v it_o may_v

kind_n of_o disease_n which_o i_o let_v pass_v because_o i_o have_v see_v no_o experience_n of_o they_o a_o discourse_n of_o wound_n and_o other_o kind_n of_o inward_a sore_n wound_n that_o be_v within_o the_o body_n as_o in_o the_o stomach_n or_o belly_n or_o in_o testinalle_n in_o the_o bladder_n taine_n or_o gut_n the_o milt_z l●uer_o lung_n heart_n or_o other_o muskle_n or_o artere_n as_o there_o be_v a_o number_n i_o confess_v to_o know_v nothing_o therein_o and_o i_o will_v show_v you_o the_o reason_n you_o shall_v understand_v that_o when_o a_o wound_n do_v offend_v the_o interior_a part_n the_o physician_n or_o chirurgeon_n or_o great_a anatomist_n whatsoever_o he_o be_v can_v know_v all_o those_o part_n offend_v in_o the_o body_n for_o after_o the_o weapon_n be_v within_o the_o body_n it_o may_v turn_v and_o with_o the_o point_n hurt_v other_o part_n a_o far_o off_o the_o wound_n and_o offend_v diverse_a particular_a part_n one_o different_a from_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o excellent_a chirurgeon_n when_o such_o a_o case_n come_v how_o do_v you_o know_v or_o discern_v which_o part_n be_v hurt_v but_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n i_o believe_v in_o that_o case_n they_o know_v all_o alike_o but_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v of_o the_o cure_n of_o such_o a_o wound_n if_o the_o chirurgeon_n know_v not_o where_o it_o be_v nor_o of_o what_o importance_n but_o work_v by_o imagination_n and_o that_o nature_n do_v prevail_v and_o that_o the_o wound_n do_v heal_v it_o be_v by_o the_o good_a fortune_n of_o the_o physician_n so_o that_o for_o wound_n inward_o i_o conclude_v no_o other_o at_o this_o time_n but_o will_v leave_v it_o to_o those_o that_o know_v more_o than_o 〈◊〉_d and_o hereafter_o i_o will_v discourse_v of_o ulcer_n and_o impostume_n inward_o what_o they_o be_v and_o how_o to_o cure_v they_o with_o our_o order_n you_o 〈◊〉_d understand_v that_o there_o be_v a_o number_n of_o kind_n of_o ulcer_n and_o impostume_n that_o may_v gender_n inward_o but_o it_o ●●●●eth_v to_o i_o so_o 〈◊〉_d to_o understand_v that_o i_o can_v determine_v nothing_o that_o way_n true_a and_o the_o cause_n be_v this_o that_o we_o have_v see_v a_o inftinite_a of_o physician_n and_o chyrurgious_a that_o have_v visit_v one_o impostumate_v or_o ulcerate_v and_o the_o physician_n can_v not_o know_v the_o place_n and_o particular_a of_o that_o imposthume_n or_o ulcer_n if_o that_o the_o patient_a do_v not_o tell_v he_o and_o show_v hi●_n and_o cause_v he_o to_o feel_v with_o his_o hand_n and_o this_o be_v most_o true_a and_o therefore_o if_o one_o can_v resolve_v he_o of_o outward_a thing_n that_o he_o may_v see_v and_o feel_v with_o his_o hand_n how_o can_v he_o resolve_v he_o when_o one_o of_o these_o accident_n be_v within_o the_o body_n where_o the_o patient_a know_v not_o himself_o which_o be_v grieve_v true_o i_o will_v glad_o know_v what_o judgement_n they_o will_v give_v of_o that_o matter_n for_o because_o if_o there_o be_v any_o imposthume_n or_o ulcer_n in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o body_n the_o sick_a shall_v feel_v great_a offence_n and_o pain_n nevertheless_o he_o can_v tell_v where_o it_o be_v nor_o what_o part_n be_v hurt_n so_o that_o i_o conclude_v if_o that_o the_o patient_a know_v not_o much_o 〈◊〉_d the_o physician_n know_v and_o of_o this_o i_o have_v make_v a_o large_a discourse_n in_o caprici_n medicinalle_fw-la for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o in_o this_o case_n i_o know_v nothing_o nevertheless_o when_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o his_o place_n i_o will_v write_v a_o discourse_n of_o the_o order_n to_o cure_v the_o most_o part_n of_o ulcer_n and_o impostume_n but_o touch_v wound_n i_o will_v promise_v no_o more_o than_o i_o have_v say_v before_o also_o i_o will_v write_v excellent_a remedy_n of_o great_a exuerience_n with_o the_o which_o all_o wound_n so_o they_o be_v not_o mortal_a may_v be_v help_v and_o heal_v and_o also_o the_o reason_n convenient_a in_o that_o

as_o be_v aforesaid_a nevertheless_o the_o order_n to_o help_v they_o be_v not_o much_o different_a one_o from_o the_o other_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v only_o the_o truth_n without_o abuse_n for_o you_o shall_v understand_v that_o nature_n be_v the_o master_n of_o all_o thing_n create_v and_o the_o physician_n and_o chirurgeon_n be_v helper_n of_o that_o nature_n as_o the_o ancient_n professor_n of_o that_o art_n have_v affirm_v than_o see_v this_o be_v so_o what_o need_v we_o to_o make_v so_o much_o a●oe_v have_v nature_n that_o work_v so_o gentle_o if_o it_o be_v not_o hinder_v by_o the_o minister_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v speak_v of_o wound_n i_o say_v that_o the_o minister_n have_v three_o operation_n to_o do_v &_o no_o more_o and_o the_o rest_n leave_v to_o

and_o that_o it_o putrify_v not_o and_o to_o keep_v it_o clean_o and_o when_o the_o minister_n have_v do_v that_o let_v nature_n work_v that_o which_o she_o will_v work_v well_o and_o if_o any_o desire_n to_o see_v if_o it_o will_v be_v so_o in_o effect_n you_o may_v see_v by_o a_o dog_n for_o if_o he_o have_v a_o great_a wound_n upon_o his_o body_n he_o heal_v it_o without_o any_o medicine_n only_o with_o dye●_n and_o keep_v if_o cloane_a with_o his_o tongue_n and_o this_o be_v most_o true_a that_o those_o which_o do_v help_v wound_n by_o enchantment_n do_v nothing_o but_o keep_v the_o wound_n clean_o and_o cause_v the_o patient_a keep_v a_o diet_n and_o so_o nature_n work_v as_o well_o on_o man_n a_o on_o a_o dog_n the_o refore_o let_v none_o marvel_v of_o this_o authority_n of_o
