Cum priuilegio ad imprimendum solum.

¶Here begynneth the Formularye of the aydes of apostemes and pustules ordeyned at Parys by mayster Guydon of Cayllyac Cyrurgyen and doctour in medycynes at Mount pyllier.

Bycause that after the doctry∣ne of Galyen in tertio de ingenio sa∣nitatis lykewyse as of y^t workeman is the takynge of the essence of the dysease. Also the scyence of thynges wherof it is gyuen it behoueth that it procede of the same / I than Antydotary ordynary in the scy∣ence of apostemes wherby the locall remedyes of the same apostemes shall be accomplysshed / but we must fyrste knowe the matter of the same. And that done may be foūde and chosen the entencyon cutatyfe after the natures of them. And I say for certayne that it is ryght and artyfycyall waye to worke as it is proued in y^e treatyse before alleged. Than I wyll put in this present formularye the knowledge of apostemes & the aydes wherby may be gyuen locall remedyes after the intencyon of Galyen, Rasis, and Auycen, suche as I can com∣pryse in theyr doctryne. And merueyle you nat yf

I haue nat willed to publysshe this worke, & haue kepte it secrete. For it hath nat ben for pryde / but for certayne reasons which admonysshed me ther to bycause that the wepons that a man may beat downe his ennemyes with all ought nat to be put in to theyr handes. For whan one enforceth his ennemye wytyngly, it is no meruayle yf he fall in his owne tourne. Than take this lytell Antydo∣cary in worth. And that howbeit it cōteyneth but a lytell / yf God lende me tyme and gyue me good fort••ne I shall perforce me to make it hole com∣plete. In the whiche shall be gyuen doctryne and artificial maner for to ordre after Rasis, Galyen, Albucrasis, and Auycen. ¶And this present trea∣tyse shal haue foure chapytres. The fyrste shal be of the locall remedyes of hote apostemes. The se∣conde of y^e local remedyes of pustules. The thyrde shal be locall remedyes of colde pustules. The .iiij. shal be of the exitures Rubrica, of y^t cures of hote apostemes. ¶The cure of hote apostemes haue .••ij. intencyons. The fyrste is to egal the mater an∣••••cedent.
