Hereunto is anexed certaine experiments of mine ovvne inuention, truely tried, and daily of me practised.

George Baker Chy∣rurgian, in prayse of the Authour.

THe thing where any cunning lies, to speake in prayse were vaine: As that which can commend it selfe, without an others paine.

And where no cunning is, to say, that cunning doth abounde: For winning credite to the thing, is but a sillie grounde.

Euen so the credite of this booke, doth not consiste in speache: Woordes therein be but spent in vaine, it hath a further reache.

The matter it intreateth of, is needefull both and good: And he that pende it for thy vse, no litle paynes it stode.

Firste reade it well and after iudge, vpon that you shall finde: That as it needes no forreine praise, praise should not be behinde.

The booke both dares and doth it selfe, aduenture in your handes: The authour of it with his paines, At your good courtesie standes.
