• [Page 5]1 A Surgeon is natures servant to helpe nature in things pertaining to surgery.
• 2 Surgery is both art and science.
• 3 The subject of surgery is mans body being sore, &c.
• 4 The next way to learne this faculty, is to begin at things generall, and so come to particulars.
• 5 The conditions required in the Surgion are generally 2. i. to be
  • 1 vertuous & religious
    • 1 theoric

• 13 The operations of the Surgeon are generally but three, as are before mentioned.

• [Page 6]The two generall parts of this art follow, .i.
  • 1 Theorica, .i. the lear­ned part by rules, shew­ing the per­fect waies to worke herein, got­ten by rea­ding, &c. being Sci­ence, and is divided ge­nerally into foure parts, as things
    • 1 natural being 7. as
      • 1 Elements,
      • 2 Temperaments or Complexions,
      • 3 Humours,
      • 4 Members,
      • 5 Powers or vertues,
      • 6 Operations of those vertues,
      • 7 Spirits.
    • 2 not na­tural, be­ing 6. as

      • 4 Fulnesse and emptinesse,
      • 5 Moving and rest,

      • 4 medicines and method is best.
  • 2 Practica, .i. practice shewing how to or­der, prepare, and to work with the hand according to the pre­cepts of the theoricke, done by these three meanes, as by
    • 1 Dyet, or the right use of the 6 thing, not natu­rall above said,
    • in
      • 1 health to preserve with things like,
      • 2 diseases to cure with contraries.
    • medicines, which is in two sorts used, either
      • 1 inwards,
      • 2 outwards.
    • 3 Manuall operation, or hand-working, as by
      • 1 Incision,
      • 2 Stitching,
      • 3 Rowling.
      • 4 Reducing,
      • 5 Cauterising, &c.

• 1 Elements of which consider ge­nerally four things, i. as
  • 1 what an Element is, it is
    • 1 A body most pure and simple, unmixt,
    • 2 The least part not dividable into any other kinde.
    • 3 That whereof all things naturall have their ori­ginall.
  • 2 their

      • 1 Active, i. to doe as is
        • 1 heat and
        • 2 cold,
      • 2 passive to suffer to be done, as doth
        • 1 drynesse, and
        • moystnesse.

Note that these two active qualities of heat and cold, do work into the two passive qualities or drynesse and moystnesse to alter them.

• [Page 8]2 Tempera­ments or complexi­ons, wherin consider ge­nerally four things, i. e. that they are

  • 4 To no end knowne by the differences of temperatures, if wee know them not by their signes also: for the which reade and consider well those rules, which are set downe by Levine Lemnie, written in his booke called the Touchstone of Com­plexions, where you may be sufficiently instructed, which in this place is too tedious to relate at this time.

• [Page 9]3 Humours be general­ly two, i.

  • Remember diligently, seeke ever to preserve these seven things naturall aforesaid, by the right use of the sixe things not naturall, following.

    • 1 Vitall, is ingendred of the vapour of the vital bloud in the heart and arteries.
    • 2 Animall, is ingendred of the spirit vitall, carried up to the head by the arteries, and there more disge­sted, for which purpose nature hath the Rete mira­bile in the braine, as a manifest changeable maze.
    • 3 Naturall, infuseth and breatheth its nutritive va­pours and spirits to nourish the parts of the body.

Note that these foure parts aforesaid, are the contemplative parts of this thrice worthy faculty of curing, which ought to be first exact­ly knowne of any professor herein, before hee enter into the practicke part; for upon these foure pillars, was this worthy art built, and is as necessary to the Artist, as the head to the body: for as the body that hath all other members, and wanteth the head, can doe nothing for want of knowledge, so it is with the Artist that wanteth these foure Theoricke parts, which in him are required: for he is ever rea­dy to mayme, kill, or spoyle his unfortunate Patient, that enters un­der his hands, sooner than to help or cure him, for lacke of the know­ledge of these foure parts afore mentioned.

• [Page 23]2 Part, Theraputi­ca, or Pra­ctica, i. pra­ctise.
  • 1 sheweth the
    • 1 method
      • of curing diseases.
    • 2 manner or way
  • 2 is triple, that is,
    • 1 dyet, i. the right use of the 6 things not naturall.
    • 2 Pharmacopia, i. the use of medicine eyther
      • 1 inwards,
      • 2 outwards.
    • 3 manuall operation, i. hand working.
  • Note ever, where one of these three will serve, use no other.
  • All operations agreeable to the rules of the Theoricke part aforesaid, which the skilfull Artist must follow effectually in his practise.

These unfortunate people that seeke to the unskilfull for cure of their infirmities, may wel be compared to a foolish man, who having a garment to make, will not put it to a Taylor to do it, but to a Smith or a Carpen­ter to make it, and though it be not his profession, yet peradventure for lucre of gaine, he will undertake to doe it, but how well (every man of judgement may conjecture) but now commonly, most people in these our dayes, seeme to have more care of making their garments, than the cure of their maladies. To make a garment, they will looke out the best work­man, but to cure their infirmities (though it stand on life or limme to be lost,) they as soone chuse a sillie woman, or an ignorant fellow (chiefly if they have gotten a little applause of the vulgar) before the learned and skilfull Artist, and why? because those idle brained wretches that neither feare the wrath of God, nor make conscience of their waies, will not onely adventure, but make sure promises to cure any that they take in hand, though it be unpossihle to be cured by the art or skill of man; for how can they foreshew the danger, that know it not, but to get money? and some thinking to get praise of others for their worke, will undertake any cure, so bold and impudent are they, yet neither know the disease, nor any perfect way to cure it, but as the blinde man shot the Crow; but the more unwise those that employ them, as woful experience daily shew­eth too much, and were perfect knowledge herein gotten so lightly, as these Ignorants seeme, then vainly were all those great volumes made, and so great study employed thereon.

• [Page 24]promise no more than you may with a good con­science performe, and consi­der
  • 1 That health lyeth not in thy hands to give, therefore promise and performe onely thy painefull diligence and industry.
  • 2 There belongeth to every cure generally, these foure things, i. the
    • 1 Determination of God,
    • 2 Good industry and skill of the Artist.
    • 3 Honest act of the Apothecarie,
    • 4 Obedience and good usage of the Patient.
  • 3 Of these foure parts abovesaid, there is but one in thy hands to use, or two at the most.
  • 4 The end of this worthy art is eyther to
    • 1 preserve,
      • so farre forth as art and nature may afford.
    • 2 cure,

• [Page 25]These are the foure things to consider, i.
  • 1 First, let your honest manners be equall to your excellent knowledge, therefore be
    • 1 faithfull
      • to your diseased Patient.

      • of life and conversation.
    • 5 sober
    • 6 comfortable in words,
    • 7 not deceiveable in deeds,
    • 8 ever serving of God, love and pray unto him daily for his grace and assistance, and consi­der the end wherefore thou art called to use this worthy faculty, it is not onely for thine own gaine, as too too many do now abuse it, but you ought with all diligence to search out the secrets of nature, and en­deavour chiefly hereby to stir up Gods glo­ry, shewing his great goodnesse towards us, by comforting and curing the sore, sicke, and diseased people.
  • 2 Before you take charge, foresee these six things, i. whether it be
    • 1 honest before God and man,
    • 2 profitable to the Patient,
    • 3 easie
      • to be done, and the reasons how and why it may, or may not bee done.
    • 4 hard
    • 5 possible,
    • 6 impossible
  • 3 to admonish and urge the Patient to observe the three conditions of a Patient, i. to
    • 1 hope with assurance,
    • 2 obey with diligence,
    • 3 endure with patience, consider also that medicine was not ordained for disorderly persons, saith Hippocrates.
  • 4 There be three cau­ses why you should refuse the cure, i. where the
    • 1 disease is uncurable by its own nature, or the par­ty so weak, that he cannot endure fit remedies.
    • 2 cure of one disease causeth a worse.
    • 3 Patient is disobedient, and wil not observe fit or­der in all things as is requisite for the cure, for me­dicine, saith Hyppocrates in his Aphorisme, was not ordained for disorderly and disobedient persons.

• [Page 26]First when thou seest the Patient, consider well
  • 1 generally two things, i. what is
    • 1 done,
    • 2 to be done.
  • 2 parti­cularly these eight things, i. to know perfect­ly the
    • 1 disease whether it be eyther a

        • 2 to foresee what may crosse your cure, & how to prevent it.
      • 2 inten­tions fit to use in
        • 1 dyet,

  How to worke with contraries by accident, and their effects.
  • [Page 73]Divers have shewed the
    • 1 proper nature

    • 2 qualities
    • 3 effects
    • 4 operations
  • Yet have they other opera­tions which be
    • 1 not by Elementall qualitie,
    • 2 done by accident.
  Example.
  • Heat ex­tern
    • 1 cooleth the inner part by accident, by opening the pores, and so the heat evaporates out with the spirits, and so diminisheth both appetite and disgestion.
    • 2 Invironing us, moisteneth by accident, by lubryfying, or moist­ning, scattering and spreading the humours congealed and setled with cold, so is Venery thought to moisten.
  • Cold ex­tern
    • 1 heateth
      • 1 the bodies inwards
        • 1 not by it proper nature,
        • 2 by accident.
      • 2 by accident, example of cold in Winter with out­ward cold closeth the pores, lets the expiration of va­pours, and issues of naturall heat, and repels that heat to the inner parts.
    • 2 Doubleth the inward heat, as they that handle snow, feele after very great heat by like reason.
    • 3 furthers concoction.
    • 4 strengtheneth the appetite, and for that cause the appetite is grea­ter in Winter then in Summer.
    • 5 Dryes by accident, by repelling the moist matter that was ready to flow downe to any part.
  Example.
  • By immoderate use of repercus­sives by repel­ling matter
    • 1 flegmatick,
      • They harden the matter collected & turns it into Scirrnes, hardnesse from a grosse viscous flegme.
    • 2 grosse,
    • 3 viscous,
  • Drinesse,
    • because they be qualities passive, shew not their operations as heat and cold doe in their force.
  • Moistnesse,
  Of the second faculty of Medicines, its that which ensueth the effect of the first elementall qualitie, and is as followeth.
  • [Page 72]Heat doe
    • 1 rarifie,
      • Cold do
