TO THE READER.  
HEre hast thou (gentle reader) a book for thy profit, such as in English I know not the like, for herein mayst thou readily find medicines for sundry diseases, and how thyself mayst make the same, or 'cause them to be made: also thou mayst here learn to know the virtue and operation, aswell of divers herbs with their seeds and fruits, as also of gums, spices, and other Apothecary's stuff, and how thou mayst apply them for thy help, either outwardly or inwardly. But as nothing can be of every man well liked: for such a confusedness is there of opinions, that rightly it may be said: Quot homines, tot sententia: and men in viewing of other men's books do for the most part judge partially, or else enviously. Homer found a cavilling Zoilus, Cicero and Virgil wanted not such as found fault with their works, though most excellent: much less may I look to have this book spared of all busy bodies, and that it should pass without gainsaying: Some peradventure will object that it is prejudicial unto physicians, Apothecaries, and such other, that such manner books as this should be divulged in the English tongue, and that the secrets of physic aught not to be participated unto the common sort, but only known of such as be professors of the art. Hereto may be answered; that as to prefer the insatiable gain of a few, before the commodity of the whole public weal, were a thing against nature most injurious and odious; so for to pleasure a few men, to deprive all other of such a benefit as concern their health; yea, and their life also, for want of knowledge whereof many do perish daily, were not only great inhumanity, but most opposite and contrary to that which God in his law hath enjoined us under pain of damnation; that is, Love thy neighbour as thyself: and in deed many of the heathen gave to be observed in general, this, Do unto others as thou wouldst be done unto. Neither can the learned physicians (as I suppose) be hindered hereby: for as a man that hath attained unto some insight and use of learning, in what art soever, is carried with more delight and willing cheer to seek for to get some more perfection therein, than he was when first he begun rudely, and having no perseverance in the said art: so, no doubt, when men or women shall, having read this book, see and understand how that there are in herbs, plants, gums etc. such several virtues, and that of them divers so wholesome conserves, confections, sirops and other like may be made, which they have utterly been ignorant of until now, they will be the better persuaded to like and esteem of physic then heretofore they have done, and more ready to seek help and counsel of the learned physician, without whose advise, if the unlearned would in difficult matters take upon them to deal as physicians, they might in stead of helping the diseased, do him much hurt. Hardly can the unlearned in physic judge rightly of his own disease, much less of the divers diseases of others: Only for some diseases ordinarily known, for which some are not able, and some dare not to seek remedy at the physician, no reason is that such yet should be utterly debarred of that ordinary help which God hath appointed. And if the learned in times past had been so straightly bend to keep hidden their knowledge from participating to others, or rather so envious of other men's weal, as many now a days are injurious, not in hiding their own skill, but in seeking to bereave men of the fruition of that good benefit of health, concerning which, sundry learned men have given generally to be published; far to seek had all men now been of that perfection that they are come unto. But, for that I hope the wise and learned will gainsay nothing that is beneficial to the common weal; nor esteem such a benefit, unto them a prejudice, but rather a pleasure: I not weighing the unsavoury speeches and contumelies of carping cavellers, will leave to commend those things which being tried shall sufficiently praise themselves.
