THE PREFACE.
AMongst the causes which we term healthful, and other remedies which pertain to the health of man, and the expelling of Diseases, Medicines easily challenge the prime place; which (as it is delivered by Solomon) God hath produced out of the earth, and they are not to be abhorred by a wise man; for there is nothing in the world, which sooner and as by a miracle, asswageth the horrid torments of diseases. Therefore Herophilus called them fittingly administred, The hands of the Gods. And hence it was that such Physicians as excelled in the knowledg of Medicines, have amongst the Antients acquired an opinion of Divinity. It cannot by words he expressed what power they have in healing. Wherefore the knowledg of them is very necessary not only for the prevention, but also for the driving away of Diseases.
