❧ A Discourse vpon Chyrurgery Written by that famous Doctor and Knight Signior Leonardo Phiorauanti Bolognese VVith a declaration of many wonderfull matters necessary to be knowne with most notable secrets found one by the said Authour Translated out of Jtalian by Iohn Hester and now newly published and augmented for the benefite of this Country By Richard Booth Gent. LONDON Printed by EDWARD ALLDE dwelling neere vnto Chirst-Church 1626. To the gentle Reader HEalth hath not vndeseruedly obtained in the wisest mens opinions the highest place amongst earthly blessings without the which the most delightfull dainties are but vnsauery the richest ornaments burthensome the whole time of our life semeth tedious For the preseruation and restauration of which vnualuable benefit the Lord in his wisedome and mercy hath prouided diuersity of meanes and variety of remedies as also hath endowed man with the knowledge of those meanes wherby his present strength might be maintained his ruind health repaired in the laying open of which soueraign seueral medicines to the publique eye of the world many learned famous men haue expended many houres and much study in so much as it may seeme to some as friuolous and fruitlesse an enterprise as to cast water into the Ocean notwithstanding trauelling with the same desire of many of my predecessours and recollecting into my minde that antient and approued saying of Cicero that We are not onely borne vnto our selues I did study and endeauour to find out somthing in which I might make a liuely expression of my intire loue sincere affectiō to this my natiue Country you my Countrie-men in my earnest enquirie and diligent scrutiny I could find nothing in my iudgement more conducing to a publique benefit then publishing of this compendious and briefe treatise of Chyrurgerie first compiled by a Knight of no small fame and a Doctor of Phisicke by name Signior Leonardo Phiorauanti which was translated out of the Italian by Iohn Hester of Lōdon an expert Distillator and by my care newly augmented I haue taken the paines doe thou accept of the profite and let thy harnest succeede my seed-time the which must of necessity be plentifull if thou with care perusest this booke and putrest the precepts contained in it into practise For howsoeuer I might be iustly branded with the ignominy of a selfe conceite foolish Philautie if I should commend my owne care or pains yet thus much I date cōfidētly auerre that in this little book thou maist with much ease facility discouer many precious preseruatiues against sicknes as many restoratiues for health as euer hertofore thou hast vnderstood here also be those secrets misteries in nature disclosed which for a time haue laide raked vp in the ashes of ignorance haue bin altogether obscured hid from the eye of knowledge neither are these rules of Phisick Chyrurgery bare likelyhoods suppositions but such as haue bin approued confirmed by long experience the way that leads to health is chalked out and made plaine by the Author thy care onely remains to walke in it which blessed period if thou attainest vnto as thou hast the good so let God haue the glory neither be altogether vnmindful of the Authors painfull care Thine as his owne RICHARD BOOTH HOW THAT OVR PHISICKE AND CHYRVRGERIE IS better then that the which the Ancients haue commonly vsed I Here is no doubt but that our new Phisicke and Chyrurgerie is better then that the which the Ancients haue vsed because it helpeth the sicke with more case and spéede and much more safer and to shew the truth the Ancients had neuer knowledge of our Dia Aromatico nor of Electuario Angelica 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 wonderfull cures as thou maist read in my Thesoro de la vita humana and truely most necessary for all professours of this Arts because therein thou shalt stude so many goodly experiences and it would cause the world to wonder thereat But to turne to our purpose I say that the Ancients the which had not knowledge of the true Phisicke and Chyrurgerie as by the experience thou maist sée I say not this to speake euill of those wise ancients Doctors that were inuentors thereof but I say it to say the truth and many shall be my testimony of this truth Because in many Countries where our workes that are Imprinted are come they begin to practise after our order And this order of curing I repute it not to my science but a worke that God would re●●al● vnto the world through my meanes and to shew the truth there hath béene none that hath found the medicines for wounds with so much ease and breuitie as I haue done Who hath euer found the true Remedie for the Goute for the Quartain for Fluxez and all sorts of Feuers as I haue done or what is he that euer brought the whole Art of Phisicke Chyrurgerie into eight sinall Volumes as I haue done What is he that euer writ of the Pestilence and of his qualities 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 said and I promise you and sweare as I am a true Knight they shall finde more truth then I wil write at this time being as I haue said a worke giuen of God for a vniuersall benefit of all the world and forasmuch I exhort euery one of the Professors of Phisicke and Chyrurgerie to follow this our truth because they are of so great experience that it séemeth miraculous vnto man as I haue same many years ages to my great honour and satisfaction of the people of the world And thus doing and working thou shalt come to know that our Phisicke and Chyrurgerie is more better and wholesome then that which hath beene vsed of the Ancients vntill this present time Certaine remedies for all Captaines and Souldiers that trauell either by water or by land THere are thrée infirmities that offend the Souldiers in the Campe aboue all the rest the which are these Feuers Wounds and Fluxes of the body the which thou maist helpe in this manner following with these medicines that is with our Quintessence of wine our Balsamo Magno licore Quintessence solutiua and Specie Imperiale and the order to vse them is thus When any of them hath a Feuer or a flux then presently when the desease beginneth let him blood in one of the two vaines vnder the tongue cutting it ouerthwart and this thou shalt doe in the euening then the next morning take a dose of our Imperiall powder mixt with wine this you may doe without any dyet or straight order that being done giue him thrée mornings
