And there healed many of the Fistulae in the fundament of the which the first was Sir Adam Eueringham of Laxton in the Clay besides Tucksfurd which was in Gascoigne at that time with Sir Henry named Earle of Darby who after was made Duke of Lancaster a noble and a worthy Lord. This sir Adam hauing a Fistulae in ano asked coūsell of all the Phisitions and Chirurgions that he could finde to Gascoigne at Burdeux at Brigerake Tolouse Norbon and Poyters and many other places and all forsooke him as vneurable Sir Adam séeing this aforesaide maner spéedely retourned home into his countrie and when he came home he put of all his knightly apparell and clad himselfe in mourning clothes with purpose to abide the curing or loosing of his body At the last I Iohn Arden came vnto him made couenant with him and so cured him by the helpe of God He was healed perfectly within halfe a yéere and afterward continued his life the space of xxx yéeres and more By the which cure I obtained much liuing and great credit through all England to the great admiration of the Duke of Lancaster and many other Gentlemen After him I cured Hugon Derling of Fendwik in the vale by Snayth Also I cured Iohn Sheffild of Brightwell beside Tekyll and Sir Rainold Gre●e Lorde of Wilton in Walles and Lord of Shirlond beside Chesterfeelde which asked counsell of the most famous Chirurgions that were in England and none auailed him Afterward I cured Sir Henry Blackborne Treasurer with the Lorde of Walles Prince of England After I cured Adam Humfry of Shelfoord besides Nottingham and Sir Iohn Priest of the same towne And Iohn of Hello of Sherlond And Sir Tho. Hannildon parson of Langare in the Vale of Beuer. After I healed Sir Iohn Mastie parson of Stoppert in Cheshire Afterward in Anno. 1370. I came to London and there I cured M. Iohn Colin Maior of Northamton that asked counsell of many skilfull persons After I cured Hugh Denny of London Fishmonger and William Polle and Ralphe Dowble Thomas Browne that had fi●ftéene holes by which went out winde with the excrements There were eight holes on the one side of his fundament and seuen on the other side of which some were distant from the fundament the space of a hand bredth His buttocks were so vlcerated and so putrified within that the ordure and the filth went out each day as much as would fill an egge shell After I cured foure Crosse Friers preachers that is to say Frier Iohn Writtell Frier Iohn Haket Frier Peter Browne Frier Thomas Apperley and a young man called Thomas Voke of which foresaid some had onely one hole distant from the fundament by one ynth or two or thrée and some had iiii or v. holes procéeding to the cods All these forenamed persons by their owne confession before I finished this booke thankes be giuen to God were perfectly healed with many other which it were to long to set downe God knoweth I lye not And therefore let no man doubt of this though all old famous men that were great students haue not confessed the same that I saye They had not the way of curing in this case For God that is the giuer of all wisedome hath hidden many things from wise men which he vouchsafeth afterward to shew vnto the simple Therefore know ye all that come after that the olde Maisters were not busie in practising or serching this cure because they could not take away the callosite at the first they forsooke it accompting it vncurable though some auctors make doubtful opinions thereoff For as much as it commeth to passe that in hard things students and practicioners should be more busie to séeke out the secrets of nature and to trye their wittes For knowledge and cunning aboundeth not in slothfull students but in the ingenious and painefull Therefore to the honour of almightie God that opened knowledge to mée that I should finde treasure within the fielde of knowledge that with longe time and panting breast I haue sweat and trauailed and full busilie indeuored my selfe as my facultie suffiseth to sette foorth this woorke faithfullie for the vtilitie and profit of those that come after Wherefore it béehoueth all those that purpose to practise herein to haue in a redinesse these Instruments folowing 1 The first Instrument is called Sequere me which is the first Instrument pertaining to the worke for with the same wée doe both search and proue euerye hollowe sore which waye the cauitie or hollownesse runneth And it ought to bée made in the same fashion and maner as Women doe vse in theyr headdes and of the same mettall and it ought to bée verye small that it be lightlie plied and replied and the head as little as may be or e●… they will not enter into the orifice of the Fistulae for oftentimes the Fistulae in the fundament hath verye small holes 2 There is another instrument called Acus Rostrata i. snowted néedle for it hath the one ende like a snowt and in the other end an eie like a néedle by the which thrids ought to be drawne through againe by the middle of the Fistulae as shal be saide in his proper place And it ought to be of Siluer as it is pictured and it ought to be no greater in proporcion then it is pictured nor longer in the snowte It should containe in lenght viii ynches 3 The third instrument is called Tendiculum and it ought to be made of Boxe or other like conuenient wood no longer nor bigger then his shape is pictured and it ought to haue an hole in the side in which there is put a wrest by which wrest in the vpper ende shal be a little hole through the which shal be put two endes of a thrid foure fould going out first of the fundament and the orifice of the Fistula which thrid is called Frenum cesaris and the which also going betwéene the wrest and the wresting the skinne of the fundament betwixt the Fistula and it and that it be fast contained aboue the snowte of the

pleasures that they supposed them which were studious in any part of wisedome to be mad or distract of their witts For as much as they deemed the chiefe sapience which is knowledge of thinges belonging as well to God as to man to haue no beeing Since this noble writer found that lacke in his time when there flourished in sundrie Countries a great multitude of men excellent in all kinds of learning as it doth appeare by some of their workes why should I thinke my selfe iniured if I should taste of he same cuppe as my predecessours and other good men of my Countrie haue come Of whome I will repeate a few who in my time haue abidden the hotte and fierie assaults of Mo●…s sect As namely M. Thomas Gale M. Iohn Hall M. Iohn Bannister Maister William Clowes with others which in our time both written For being on a time in companie by chaunce it was tolde me vnto my face that there were too many bookes set soorth in the English toung and that our bookes did more harme then good and that the Arte therby is made cōmon For that quoth he euerie Gentleman is as wel able to reason therin as our selues A thing truely to be lamēted for if heretofore Emperours kings princes dukes Earles Lords Barrons Knightes besides diuers Gentlemen hath not onely red and practised the same but also greatlye augemented the knowledge thereof And I could well wish in these dayes it were better looked into both of Nobles Gentles Iustices and also of good Captaines for then the common weale should not onely be furnished of good and learned Surgions but also her Maiestie the better serued in the warres as well by Sea as by Lande And besides those that are Surgions would better follow their bookes and practise if it were but for shame that these Gentlemen should not discouer their blind practise and foolish ignorance And so bring this auncient and famous arte into great credit which now by meanes of gredie gripes and deuouring Caterpillers who onelie contemne learning is brought to great infamy and scandall But there be that can say what neede we care for bookes as longe as we can when neede is call vnto vs vj. viij or ten of our friendes to assist vs who are shal be our best bookes But I demaunde of these what if God send a plague and take away these bookes who are mortall Or if these bookes should be prest into her maiesties shippes and so be disseuered or what if one of these should happen into the countrie where no such helpes are where were then their knowledge Might not a man well thinke their patients to be as Hippocrates termeth them the Children of fortune and that they are cured by chaunce but not by arte And therefore it was not without cause that Maister Iohn Hall in his verses set after the third treatise of anatomy vseth these words VVHerefore of truth I can not cease to meruell much at Momus sect Sith nothing can their wits releace with ignoraunce so much infect For what a mome was he that saide these booke-men can but talke and prate And we are they that with our aide doe all the cures in each estate An other saith I can not talke but I will worke euen with the best Thus stubburnelie these buserds walke vppon their blinde customes that rest For if their talke any truth had a blinde man might coulours decerne And euerie foole and peuish lad might doctors be and neuer learne Then t is no time to slepe where growes such noysome weedes As doth bewray themselues by fowle and filthie deedes Such hideous haggs with tongus that stings declares a poysoned minde And who so doth them rightlie marke these sayings true shall finde For like as serpents subtellie lies lurking in their enne Deuising mischeues priuilie so doth these kinde of men Pursue vertue full egerlie euen with a Iudas kisse Saying forsooth their foolies doth deserue the golden fleece But ther 's no beast in wildernesse in mallis can excell Such secret foes which mischeife sowes the fire brands of hell Whose flattering spech and sewgered words with smiling in the face Be tokeneth such are Tigers whellps and of some dogged race THose kinde of serpents which doe nothing else but picke quarrells with authours I would aduise either to speake themselues or if their ignoraunce will not let them to laie their finger on their mouthes till other men tell their tale and not to make their haruest of other mens offences vnwillinglie committed while they themselues rest vnable to doe anie whit of good And thus good reader I will end expecting thy fauorable acceptacion of these my labours which expectation of mine if it be not frustrate I shal be further encouraged to impart the rest of my studies to thy commoditie Beseching the almightie God to blesse both thee and me with increase of knowledge and giue vs all grace to serue him Iohn Reade The othe of Hippocratus which he gaue vnto his desiples and scollers which professing Phisicke and Chirurgerie is very worthie to be obserued and kept faithfullie of euerie true and honest Artests althought he himselfe were but a heathen man and without the true knowledge of the liuing God yet for his noble and excellent skil in Phisicke and Chirurgerie he ought not to be forgotten of vs his posteritie but to be had in an honorable remembrāce for euer I Sweare by Appollo the Phisitian by Aesculapuis by Higea and Panacea yea and I take to witnes all the Gods and Goddesses that to my power I will vprightlie obserue this my othe I will accompte my Maister which taught me this arte my father in his case hee shall commaund my life and whatsoeuer hee needeth I will giue it him As for his Children I will hold his sonnes as my brethren and if they desire the knowledge of this arte I will teach it them without stipent or couenant I will instruct my sonnes my maisters sonns yea such as by hand wrighting are my scholers sworne and adicted to Phisicke the precepts rules and whatsoeuer else belongeth to the knowledge of the saide profession or touching the cure of diseases I will appoint them a diet to my power and in my iudgement commodius And I will defend them from hurt and iniury neither shall the requests and petitions of any man be they neuer so earnest so much preuaile with me to giue poyson to ane person to drinke neither will I giue my counsell or consent thereto in like manner I will refuse the mi●…stration of any suppositorie to the hurting or corrupting of the childe in the time of my life And in my profession I will shew my selfe pure chast and holy I will neuer cut any person that hath the stone but will giue place to stone-cutters in the cure thereof what house soeuer I come into it shall be to the patient his profite I will offer no iniurie voluntarelie to anie man I will eschew all
