Adenochoiradelogia, or, An anatomick-chirurgical treatise of glandules & strumaes or, Kings-evil-swellings : together with the royal gift of healing, or cure thereof by contact or imposition of hands, performed for above 640 years by our Kings of England continued with their admirable effects, and miraculous events, and concluded with many wonderful examples of cures by their sacred touch / all which are succinctly described by John Browne.

To the AUTHOUR Mr. JOHN BROWNE.

WHilst your Great Galen scans each Human part, (Galen, the Learnedst of the No∣blest Art) Its fine Contexture, Motion, Use, Surveys, With clearer Demonstration he displays The Godhead; than the wrangling Schools can boast, Whose Reason in the maze of Terms is lost: Such is thy Art, Fam'd Browne, whose Skilful Pen Can Lym the Great Creator's pow'r in Men:

The Purple Liquor in the smallest Vein, Which runs, like Arethusa to the Main In secret Channels, cant escape thine Eye, Which does new Tracts i'th' lesser World descry: Ev'n Death begins to fear thy searching Art, Lest thou shouldst find a Balm against his Dart. The Healing Vertue of the Royal Hand, (Next to our King, the Glory of our Land) Which Heaven on our Monarchs does bestow, To make the Vain, Conceited Rab∣ble know That Pow'r and Government, from Heaven flow; And that there's some Divinity in Gods below,

Is now discover'd by thy piercing Brain, As far as Man can Miracles ex∣plain.
