payne profyte lytle or nothynge in thys dysease yea the paynes are rather encreased more more Wherfore ther was neuer no such dysease knowen Howe be it Cornelius Celsus speaketh of a lyke dysease of the cure of a leprye called Elephancia and also Hugo de Senis in the .lv. couÌ„cell semeth to speake of a lyke dysease Suetonius in the boke of the lyues of Emperours sayeth that Augustus had a lyke dysease for he sayeth that the sayde Augustus had greuous sondrye and peryllous dyseases all hys lyfe tyme. And he sayeth more ouer that he hadde spottes dyspersed vppon the breste and bellye in maner order and nomber of the sterres of the sygne called Vrsa maior Wherfore it was nedefull for the curation of thys dysease to serche out newe remedyes And so to saye the truth the medicines lately inuented are better in thys dysease then the medicines of olde wryters as for an exaÌ„ple of payne Anodyne

curation iij. ententions are requyred The fyrst is ordinauÌ„ce of dyete that good humours may be engeÌ„dred euyl destroyed The seconde is to digeste the matter antecedeÌ„t to purge the same beyng
