To the Reader, HEALTH and SAFETY.
WOnder not Reader, that you see these Rarities in the English Tongue, written by the learned Professor of Physick, D. Sennertus; neither be an∣gry that the Mysteries of this Noble Art are laid open for the unlearned to peruse, for such I design them. The antient Greeks as Hippocrates, Galen, &c. and the Arabi∣ans, as Avicen, Averoes, Mesue, Serapio, &c. wrote all in their own genuine lan∣guage, as Celsus, Serenus, and other La∣tines also in their vernacular and mother Tongue.
The Author teacheth the knowledge of those diseases that reigne amongst us, and the cure of all sorts of Fevers, continued and intermittent (which are called Agues) he shews the way to cure the Small Pox, nay the Pestilence or Plague it self, when it is never so contagious.

Kind Reader, I wish thee no greater happiness in time of sickness, then this Book to advise thee, where an able Phy∣sitian is wanting; I hope it will find acce∣ptance by thee, and be both welcom and profitable to thee. For my part, as I ex∣pect no thanks, nor desire no commenda∣tion, so I fear no ignominy or calumnia∣tion. May it prove as beneficial to all that read it in this Tongue, as he desires it may that writes it; for seriously, he assures the world, that all true Christians Lives are as dear to him as his own; and their health desired most candidly by him, that esteemeth and valueth nothing so much as the publique good of his Brethren.
Not long since, this Authors five Books of Institutions of Physick and Chyrurgerie, were published in the English Tongue; which incomparable Piece I recommend to thy serious perusal, as the best founda∣tion for Practise) that any man hitherto hath laid; Without any further troubling of thee with these Epistolary lines, I refer thee to the Book it self; and so Farewel.
