The Epistle to the Reader.

COURTEOUS READER,

THere having come to my hands three severall Bookes; Phioravants Secrets, and also his Chyrurgery, to which is added The Iewell of Practice: Published a good while since by JOHN HESTER, a Spagyrick Pro∣fessor, in his time of eminent note: And know∣ing the Books very scarce, and out of Print, much desired by Ingenuous Practitioners in Phy∣sick, I have for the Publick good communica∣ted those three severall Books to my Friend: assu∣ring my selfe out of my knowledge of the Books, that there are in them contained many Chymica arcana, which will be much advantagious to Spagyrick Students, with the more confidence, be∣cause whosoever desireth to have, and make use of the choycest Secrets delivered in them, may have them faithfully made up, and dispenced in

Amen-Corner, by W. I. Chymist to that honoura∣ble Society, and Colledge of London Physitians, who hath heretofore made up the choisest of them, for sundry Physitians, who have earnest∣ly desired them, and with good successe used them: And I doubt not, but they will receive as good satisfaction in their compositions, as that worthy Spagyrick, (that from an Italian Coate, put them into an English Vesture) formerly gave them: Desiring you for your fuller approba∣tion, to peruse his Epistle praefixed before his translation, which I presume, will give you that content is desired from your Friend,

• W. I.
