The Voyage of Bayonne, 1564.

NOw I say moreover, what I did in the Voyage with the King to Bayonne, where we have been two years and more to compass all this Kingdome, where in divers Cities and Villages I have been called into consultations for divers diseases with the deceased Monsieur Chap∣lain chief Physician to the King, and Monsieur Chastellon chief to the Queen-Mother, a man of great honour and knowledg in Physick and Surgery: making this Voyage I was alwaies inquisi∣tive of the Surgeons if they had marked any rare thing of remark in their practice, to the end to learn some new thing. Being at Bayonne, there happened two things of remark for the young Sur∣geons: The first was, that I drest a Spanish Gentleman, who had a grievous great impostume in

his throat: he came to have been touched by the deceased King Charles for the Evil. I made in∣cision in his Aposteme, where there was found great quantity of creeping worms as big as the point of a spindle, having a black head; and there was great quantity of rotten flesh. Moreover there was under his tongue an impostume called Ranula, which hindred him to uttet forth his words, and to eat and swallow his meat: he prayed me with his held up hands to open it for him, if it could be done without peril of his person, which I immediately did, and found under my Lancet a solid body, which was five stones, like those which are drawn from the bladder. The greatest was as big as an Almond and the other like little long Beans, which were five in number; in this aposteme was contained a slimy humor of a yellow color, which was more then four spoonfuls; I left him in the hands of a Surgeon of the Citty to finish his cure.

Monsieur de Fontain Knight of the Kings Order, had a great continual pestilent Fever accom∣panied with divers Carbuncles in divers parts of his body, who was two dayes without ceasing to bleed at the nose, nor could it be stanchd; and by that means the fever ceased with a very great sweat, and soon after the Carbuncles ripened and were by me dressed, and by the grace of God, cured.

I have publish'd this Apology to the end that each man may know, with what foot I have al∣waies marched, and I think there is not any man so ticklish, which taketh not in good part what I have said, seeing my discourse is true, and that the effect sheweth the thing to the eye, reason being my warrant against all Calumnies.
