Cross sculpsit TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE The Lady FRANCES STRICKLAND Eldest Daughter to THOMAS late Earle of Winchilsey and wife to Sir William Strickland one of the Honorable Members of the Parliament of ENGLAND Madame IT is as much beyond the height of my ambition to requite as the extent of my abilities to deserve that favorable eye of respect your Honour hath beene pleased to cast upon me ever since I was first knowne to you A thankefull acknowledgement whereof I know is all your Honour doth expect or I can pay And now it fares with me as with some Tradesmen that prove banquerupt who when they have run so farre in debt that they needs must breake their grand designe is to get still further into debt not caring then how much they owe since they can never pay If therefore your Honour will bee pleased to adde unto the former score of my engagements the acceptance of this tender of my service in this Translation and call it yours you much oblige mee in bond which I shall never seeke to cancell I know its first admission into your Honours closet and welcome there will so credit it that it will find the freer accesse to all my Countries Ladies and Gentlewomen for whose sakes especially I undertooke this taske I thought it pitty that so learned juditious and usefull a booke for the information of their judgements amendment of their Errours should passe without their cognizance In triviall matters an Errour is lesse dangerous But in Physick being a noble Science conversant about such a noble subject as the body of man Errours are more palpable especially when they are growne vulgar and popular tending to the generall harme of the Microcosme I here present your Honour with a literall interpretation of such of them as have beene already observed by my learned Authour wherein he hath so elegantly discussed them that he hath deservedly gained much credit among the Learned although indeed the booke doth more concerne the vulgar and unlearned whose Errours it doth detect Pardon I pray my boldnesse and accept this offering from Madame Your Honours most humble servant Wittie Novemb. 30th 1650. The Translator to the Reader Courteous Reader IT is above eleven years since this Translation was finished and in the Printers hand the Distractions of the times having hindered the printing and withheld from thee the benefit I intended My desire of profiting those that cannot understand the Latine first prompted me to this Worke as for others I referre them to the Originall But my especiall aime was to doe an acceptable service for my countries Gentlewomen to whom this subject will bee exceeding usefull and delectable and therefore I have endeavoured to be as plaine as the Nature thereof and my taske would permit I doe here present thee with a Catalogue of the grosse yet common Errours of the people in Physicke as they did occurre to my Authour in his practise and are obvious to all men the which he hath excellently confuted with solid and convincing arguments grounded on sound reason and authoritie I need not commend his Labours herein mine owne I cannot let the Work speak for it self I am confident thy self after perusall wilt save me the labour I have only inserted herewith the judgment of Lacutus one of the most famous writers of our age as I finde it printed before an Impression of the Latin in Holland which I have faithfully translated into English omitting the rehearsall of the high esteeme and welcome it hath found among the Learned throughout Europe which I have endeavoured to use as a forcible argument with my much honoured and intimate friend my Authour to encrease this volume with a confutation of some additionall Errours which hee is also resolved upon as also that hee would make publique his other labours upon the whole body of Physicke with severall other pieces relating thereunto which I have had the happinesse to see wherein if I mistake not he comes not short of our best moderne writers One thing here I must not omit to enforme thee of to wit that most of the Errours that are rife among the people at this day are upheld by the ignorant runnagate Quacksalvers and Empyricks with which this Nation abounds who having not patience to keep to their honest Trades at home doe wander abroad with foolish Receits claiming Kindred or some other relation to some eminent Physitian hereby cheating the over-credulous people both of their Money and Health It is admirable to consider with what impudence most of these fellowes claime kindred to Dr. Butler whom for honours sake I mention who lived in Cambridge and dyed about 35 yeares agoe a very able and learned Physitian as was in his time Many also claim relation to him as having served him and learned much from him this is enough forsooth to beget them credit among the vulgar and make them Doctours which title they willingly embrace But that
