All suche to confort and supportacyon of theyr infyrmytees / tyll that they maye gette an experte and lerned physycyon / or maystar in medycyn / to whom the sekenes or dysseases be well be knowen / & also the cōmplexyons of the dysseased bo∣dyes / whether they come of hete / of drowght / of moystour / or of coldnes The whiche is farre from the know¦lege of the onlerned people. Also yf the people can gette no physycyons nor medicyns / yet I wyll shew som maner of wayes to be holpē thrughe the experyence that I haue founde by vsynge of the waters / whiche is nother heuy nor shadefull to be my∣nystred / for they haue not the appen¦dynge gowtes of laxatyfe medycyns or reseptes / lyke wyse the substaun∣ces of ther corpus be not mynistred in the body / but onely thrugh a loue¦ly & fayr maner well pleasyng to the pacyent / as I haue shewed before in the .ii. chapytre of the fyrste boke / but moch better it were and more {pro}fyta¦ble to folowe the lerned medycynes or physycyōs whā they may be gottē O good lorde how oftē haue I sene an onlerned physycion mynystre his medicines that knewe nor dysseases nor yet the complexyō but ministred hete to hete / thrugh the which the na¦turall moistour was spente / and the body dried away & cōsumed or moy∣stour to moystour / thrugh the which the body cotted awaye / or colde / by the which the naturall hete that shol¦de preserue the life of man is hole my nyssed and brought to nought / for the holy prohphet Iob sayth that the lyfe of man is plāted for to dye a na∣turall dethe with out any payne / yf he may attayne his naturall lyfe vn¦to the deth / the whiche may so well come to purpose / by an expert & ler∣ned maister or physycyon.

Thus I counsell you and instantly requy¦re you / that ye cast not away ignorā¦tely the p̄cyous yuwell of your natu¦rallyfe / that almyghty god had crea¦ted & planted in you naturally to be kept with suche graces as he therto had gyuen you / therwith to be pre∣serued.
