THE skilful and diligent Author of this Book Teems to have 
fetdown therein that Pradice , which Reafon and Experi- 
ence, after a careful reading of the belt Authors, and an exad 
Obfervation of feveral Operations , had taught him to be the 
fafeft, convenient eft, andmoftealie. This he hath done in a few 
Chapters, rather inferring in fhort his Obfervations in the very 
defcriptions of the DifeafeSj than to wafte the Readers time with 
a prolix Difcourfe ; to the end he might not repeat m fmicukr 
Difeafes, what he had firft fet down in ^<?/^^'Wi'. 
Tumorsy Wounds^ ^nd Ulcers^ which neither in Caufe nor Cure 
differ, he hath reduced under one head; contrary to what mo fl 
Writers ufe to do, who only from the difference of the Part and 
Member affeded difference the Difeafes, which afterwards^, giving 
them new names, they multiply without any ufe; and fo they 
render that Art, which is difficult enough of it felf, much more 
difficult. 
Thofe Medicaments , which he hath delivered in this Book^ 
though they be few in number , yet are by fome able Judges e-r 
fleenfdof great vertue ; Which the Author affirms to have found 
out by vaft pains and no fmall charges,and for the fafety of which 
he alledgeth the confirmation of daily pradice. 
And becaufe Amtomy is the main foundation of Chirurgery^ the 
Author hath thought good to annex fo much of it, as maybe 
iieceffary for the Art ; of all which he fliews the Ufes^rf it in th<|^ 
fame. 
He fubjoyns alfo a fmall Treatife of the Fhgue\ difcourfing 
#f its Caufe^, Symptoms, O^ftrvations^ and Cure ; and illuftra- 
ting all with divers feled Praftical Obfervations*-
