Who hath thervnto necessarily annexed. A table, as wel of the names of diseases and simples with their vertues, as also of all other termes of the arte opened. ... And in the ende a compendious worke of anatomie ... An historiall expostulation also against the beastly abusers, both of chyrurgerie and phisicke in our tyme: with a goodly doctrine, and instruction, necessary to be marked and folowed of all true chirurgie[n]s. All these faithfully gathered, and diligently set forth, by the sayde Iohn Halle.; Chirurgia parva.

colde And lette nothinge be geuen actuallye hotte but if the patiente be yonge and Sanguine and haue bledde but litle at hys wound if also be he strong let hym bloud on the contrarye side but if he be feble lette hym be ven●osed And see that euerye daye once the dutye of the bellye be prouoked by a suppositarye if neede be as when it commeth not of it selfe naturallye For these thinges aforesayd wyth a defensive of Bole Armeniacke defendeth the wounded member from receauynge of superfluites For when euerye course of humores is ceased then art thou sure that there shall none Aposteme come vpon thee And after thys by lyttle and lyttle and not sodenly permitte thy patyente to a larger diete and also to the vse of wyne save onelye to men wounded in the heade or in the synewye members and vnto those geue no lycence to drincke wyne excepte for necessitye of faintnesse of the stomake or lake of strengthe And then lette it be lyghte wyne soure well watered For there is nothing that dothe so muche damage vnto the heade and sinewes as dothe wyne And therefore in those maner of woūdes it is not good to graunte drincking of wyne but onely at the ende of the cure And when a wounde chaunceth in other bones those bones broken thou shalt heale them after the cure of Algebra the whyche thou shalte reade in a partycular Chapiter of the same But if the wounde be apostemate either for that the Chirurgien knewe not how to defend it or that because the tente is to greate or the vnguente put in extreamelye whotte or by alteration of the aer or debility of the member receauinge for surely if it chaunce notwythstādinge the necessary applycation of due remedies it is thē a verye evell sygne Namely that the hurte member is greatlye weakened Neuerthelesse if suche an aposteme be done in a nervous member the cure thereof is al readye ta●ghte But if it be in a fleshye member make a Cataplasma de quatuor partibus Aquae Vna parte Ol●i Oliuarum maturarum farinae triticeae partibus duabus and lay it vpon the aposteme made with the wounde applyinge it so longe till the swelling and payne be gonne and that the wounde caste oute mater aboundantlye And then laye therto a mundificatiue of honye meale and water till it be perfectly mundified For a wounde where in there is an aposteme neither can nor oughte to be consolidate ▪ for all consolidatiues are there vnto hurtfulle excepte it be fyrste ryped and the paine aswaged and then expertly mundified and laste of all consounded Also if there be in the woūde any distemperance first let it be cured wyth his contrarye as colde wyth heate and heate wyth colde and so of other ▪ and when thys distemperance is remoued then turne agayne to thy principall cure Moreouer if there be in the wounde anye concauitye or holownesse it shall firste be replenished againe wyth due fleshe for if it weare healed aboue and holowe vnder neathe of verye necessitye there shoulde remaine in the concauity fylthe and corruptyon The whiche would putrefye the place and constreigne the Chirurgien to open the wounde againe and so the laste laboure shoulde be more then the fyrste Replenish it first therfore with the aboue sayde mundificatyve layde on the wounde wyth the poulder of Incence put therin or with some other incarnatyue or regeneratyue vnguente suche as shall be wryten in the ende of thys boke ▪ and then in the ende let it be healed vp Also if a wounde be made with contusion or brusyng as by a falle by the stroke of a stone or a staffe or anye other thinge that is not sharpe thou shalte not at the first administer therto a consolidatiue for in everye brusure the Fleshe and the Sinewes are of necessitye smytten together if the member be Sinewye and nedes wyll putrefye Then woulde consolidatiues constreigne the fylthe to tarye wyth in the member and so all the member should be corrupted or else constreigne thee to open the wounde agayne whyche shoulde be dowble paine and laboure bothe vnto thee and to thy patyente For longe feblenesse of anye member in●u●eth all the bodye to corruptyon Therfore it is fyrste to be riped secondly to be mundified thirdly if there abyde any holownesse to regenenerate and incarne it fourthlye and laste of all to consolidate it Sauinge onlye that if the bruse be but lyttle it wyll then be soone healed by annoyntinge the place aboute the wounde with Oyle of Roses and vppon the iuncture strewe poulder of Myrtles and mundifye the wounde with a mundificatiue of Mel and then conuenientlye heale it vp Of woundes made with venemous Beastes as of the bytinge of a madde Dogge or otherwyse

said hurtes by qualifyfying the hurtfull proprety of the medicyne It may please you therfore to leaue your blamyinge of Uigo or elsse if his doinges like you not set your pen to the booke and make a

Jexhort all my brethren Chirurgiens that they after due trauels taken in the former partes moste diligently studye the knowledge of symples and the natures of them from the most to the least so shall you haue perfect knowledge how to worke whether it be with symples or compoundes many or fewe For though Diogines threwe away his drinking dishe as a superfluous thinge when he sawe an other poore man drinke in his bare hande yet is it not euell a man to haue in hys house pottes and glasses yea goblets of siluer cuppes of gould for his hand is neuer the farther from him wherin he may drinke if he

noble man withall his deintye fare he can deuise Is it necessarye that prynces and noble men therfore shall be driuen to that fare because pore men can so liue There are diuers barbarous nacions of people that liue only with herbes rootes is it necessarye therfore that we shall leaue oure fleshe and fish and holsome bread It is an olde sayinge that store is no sore and plēty no deinty Is it not better to know so much that I may take and leaue then to know so litle that I shal many times lacke Hinder not the diligent mindes therfore of such as wold learne for though some thinke it a thinge vnmete for theyr age to learne yet wherfore shuld they discourage yoūg mē for whose estate and age it is most meete to seke for knowledge For whyche cause Aristotle councelled men in theyr youthe to learne ye saythe he allthough it be painfull for it is lesse peyne for a man to learne in hys youthe then in age to be vncunninge Oh worthy saying Thys sentence of Aristotle I wish rather to be weyed and folowed then that any mannes minde should be remoued from study and diligence to learne with fonde perswasions Some will saye I am an olde man and haue done great cures and neuer knewe so muche and my master before me was an auncient man and was neuer so curious Surely science at some time florisheth whych in time to come is darkened againe by ignorance so that time maketh all thinges old and after bringeth forth that olde thynges againe causing them to be called newe The frutefull bookes of Dioscorides Hippocrates Galen and Plini are olde and auncient thinges ye they were counted so old that some of them wyth most men were worne oute of minde and the goodly doctrines also conteined in them Yet time bringing forthe the same thinges againe in other men they are called new lerning ye of some newe fāgles though it be the very same auncient thinges no thing elsse Such an enemy vnto knowledge is ignorance euermore murmuring and grudging therat with hainous reproche Therfore let all men that minde to haue perfection of any good science arme them selues with patience and constācy and regard not such vaine iangling but goe forth to your businesse not caring for their bablinge euen as you may see the very great and stout horsses shewing the like example which passe forth on their way not once regarding the barking of curres nor shewing anye token of reuengment for euen suche iangling wil time weare and wast and consume also suche enuious disdaine Accept my good will therfore I moste hartelye desyre you all ye that loue to learne for as I loke at your handes to finde good report and loue whych is the frute of a good gentle inclination so I loke at the hands of the enuious ignorant for none other but the frutes of theyr beastly nature So that in fyne it semeth that of them I may thus iustly conclude LIke as the flye that fedeth styll In vile corrupte degre Dothe still despise and hate as ill All herbes that holsome be And as the man whose trade was aye To scoure
