The Praeface.

WE say in Fraunce for an aunciente, & verified proverbe: That it is not sufficiē∣te enoughe that vve doe anye thinge, but that vve doe the same exquisitlye, & profitablelye. VVhich can not vvith anye convenience be excuted or accom∣plished, vvithout knovvledge of the causes, vvhich doe leade, and conducte vs, to the perfectione of the effect: So that accordinge to the sayinges of the Philo∣sophers, Science is nothinge els, then the knovvledge of that,* 1.1 vvhich vve have in handes, through his proper causes. Vnto the vvhich all Artificers must endevoure to attay∣ne: throughe the vvhich Chyrurgerye, although notvvithstanding, vve can not attayne to the knovvledge, & cognisance of the presente subiecte, & the accidentes therof, throughe such oc∣casions as vve have discribede, the same being as it vveare an inferioure science, and dependin∣ge, on the Naturalle, and Physicall sciences: vve ought notvvithstandinge to knovv at the leaste this poyncte, and to observe, and follovve the same, and that throughe the most sensible, and apparent causes, vvhich are Materialle, and Instrumentalle.

VVhich hath movede me to represent,* 1.2 and as it vveare evidentlye vnto all mens eyes demonstrate, not onlye the materialle, and formalle principles, vvherof our subiecte, of mans bodye, is created, and compilede together, but the Instrumentalles, throughe the vvhich vve as by such meanes mayntayne the same in his naturall healthe, as longe as ther is anye he∣alth afore handes, and also agayne restore the same, beinge imbecillede, & debilitated, through the combate vvhich vve have agaynst the dissease, or sicknes.

Nether to speake truthe is it a thinge conveniente, and seemlye, that anye greate, or vvor∣thye Capitayne, shoulde assayle his enimye, before he apparantlye knovve him, and have for his ovvne commoditye, and advantage made electione, and choyse of the place, & feelde of cō∣bate, hath ordrede and alsoe armed his souldiours: noe lesse also, must he besiege anye stronge,* 1.3 and fortified Citye, vvithout first having advertisemente, & knovvledge, of the most feebleste place of the same, & vvher in storminge his souldiers may leaste of all be endamagede, he ha∣vinge sufficiente admunitione, to make a breatch.

In like sorte also vveare it greate temeritye, and rashenes, for anye Chyrurgiane, to take in hande anye operatione, of Chyrurgerye, vvithout first of all considering one the subiecte,* 1.4 one the vvhich he intendeth, and purposeth to operate, or vvorcke, convenientlye to situate, and collocate the same, and being fournishede of all his Instrumentes conveniente for such an o∣peratione, therbye to attayne vnto his pretended intente. I humblye reqveste, the most bene∣volent, and gentle Reader, to have me excusede, although I have not collocatede, them in such numbre, as I vvillingelye coulde vvishe and desire I had, havinge notvvithstanding causede the same to be representede: but throughe the iniuryes of this most disturbede, & molestede time, there are some of the Plates (vnto my greate molestatione, and sorrovve,) lost, and coulde not by anye meanes possible so suddaynlye be agayne pourtrayctede, & engraved: the vvhich not∣vvithstandinge in the nexte editione I hope to collocate them.
