FINIS TABVLAE HOW THAT OVR PHISICKE AND Chyrurgerie is better then that the which the Auncients haue commonly vsed THere is no doubt but that our newe Phisicke and Chyrurgerie is better then that the which the Auncients haue vsed bicause it helpeth the sick with more ease and spéede and much more safer and to shew the troth the Aunciēts had neuer knowledge of our Dia Aromatico nor of Electuario Angellica nor of our Pillole Aquilone nor did not make our siropo solutiuo nor yet our magno licore with a number of other medicines found out by me the which are written in the ende of this booke with the which I haue done wonderful cures as thou maist read in my Thesoro de la vita humana and truely most necessary for all professours of this Arte bicause therein thou shalt finde so manye goodly experiences and it would cause the world to wonder thereat But to tourne to our purpose I say that the Auncients the which had not knowledge of our remedies they wanted also knowledge of the true Phisicke and Chyrurgerie as by the experience thou mayst sée I say not this to speak euil of those wise auncient Doctors that were inuentours there-off but I say it to say the troth and many shall be my testimony of this troth Bicause in many countrys wher our worke that are Imprinted are come they begin to practise after our order And this order of curinge I repute it not to my science but a worke that God would reueale vnto the worlde thorow my meanes and to shewe the troth there hath bene none that hath found the medicines for woundes with so much ease and breuitie as I haue done Who hath euer founde the true Remedie for the Goute for the Ouartain for Fluxes and all sorts of Feuers as I haue done or what is he that euer brought the whole Art of Phisicke and Chyrurgerie into .viij. small volumes as I haue done What is he that euer writ of the Pestilence and of his qualytie and remedies and orders to be vsed in the same as I haue done And if there be any that doth not credite me let them make experience of all that I haue sayde and I promise you and sweare as I am a true Knight they shall finde more truth then I will write at this time being as I haue said a worke giuen of God for a vniuersal benefit of all the world and forasmuch I exhort euery one of the professors of Physick Chirurgery to follow this our truthe bicause they are of so great experience that it séemeth miraculous vnto man as I haue séene many yeares agoe to my great honour and satisfaction of the people of the world thus doing working thou shalt come to know that our Physick Chirurgerie is more better wholesome then the which hath bene vsed of the Auncients vntill this present time Certeine remedies for al Capitaines and souldiers that trauell eitherby water or lande THere are .3

with-out any dyet or strayght order that being done giue him .3 mornings together halfe an ounce of our Quintaessence solutiue with broth But if it be a flux and that the Patient is not cured let him stand in a colde bath of salt water of the Sea .3 or .4 houres or more and hée shall bée perfectly holpe Then as concerning wounds as wel cuts as thrusts and as wel gallings with arrows as hargabush shot and other sortes thou shalt cure them thus The first thing that ye shall doe to them is to wash them very cleane with vrine and then drye them well then put there-in our Quintaessence of wine presently ioyne the parts together sow or stitch them close then put there-vpon 5. or .6 droppes of our Balsamo and vppon the wound lay a cloth wet in our Magno licore as hot as he may suffer it and
