¶ To all such Readers as have care of their bodily health.  
How provident a Patron, and bountiful a father, the Lord of life is unto us unthankful and rebellious children, his manifold benefits, do testify: Yea, the continuance of his kindness is herein principally declared. For whereas our own natural corruption, worketh daily in us the banishment out of his favour, and the danger of reprobation: He notwithstanding, in consideration of our weakness, with draweth not his compassion from us, but in all our necessities, reaching out his helping hand unto us, is most ready (as he is always able) to pluck us out of the pit of perdition, whereinto the heinousness of our transgressions (as it were with a gab●e,) haileth us perforce. O gracious God, how shall sinners worthily advance the excellency of thy love? Who shall give them an heart to conceive thy kindness? Whence shall they have utterance to sound out thy mercy: Of themselves (because they are vessels of wrath) they cannot compass to perfect a work: thou therefore which art the perpetual spring of all goodness, give it them: O give it them, and they shall have it: yea and in the having of it, they shall magnify thy name, extol thy power, and marvel at thy mercy. Where is one, among thousand thousands, that looking upon the Heavens, most gloriously beautified: upon the earth, most plentifully enriched, upon the frame of his own body, most Angelically created: but shall of compulsion acknowledge the omnipotency of God, and confess the unmeasurable greatness of his goodness, and love toward man: The Heaven, to maintain life and light: the Earth, to succour and sustain Nature; all creatures, living in land or water, to suppling his wants: nothing to be reckoned and named, which he hath not most liberally given unto man, as appointing him Lord and sovereign, but them his vessels and servants. Against hunger, least thou shouldest famish, he hath provided nourishment. Against thirst, least thou shouldest perish, he hath ordained savoury Liquors. Against cold, least thou shouldest die in thy nakedness, he hath given thee clothing. And what hath he done beside: Hath he not had special regard to thy condition and estate: I mean to the health of thy undie, and the safety of thy soul▪ Yes, yes: and that is evidently proved by the manifold remedies which he hath prepared to restore thee to soundness of limule and life, and by the free course of the pearl of his Gospel, which is the jewel of all Christian joy. In consideration of these so many good graces of God, what doth Christian duty require: (I speak to all, unto whose view and censure this preface shall be presented.) Let them take the sweet Sacrifice of thankfulness, and burn the same upon the Altar of an humble heart, that the redolent and perfumed incense of the same ascending up into Heaven, may smell sweet in his nostrils, whose special delight is in such a burnt offering and oblation. Thus much have I said by way of advertisement, upon occasion of this present book, whose benefits as they are divers, so are they singular: and in them all is God's goodness highly commended. Note my words, and then judge of the value and worthiness of the book. Art thou diseased in thy head: Art thou grieved in thy heart: Art thou pained with ache▪ Art thou tormented with a Fever: Art thou wounded: Art thou troubled with any irksome sore: Doth thy sight fail: Doth thy hearing ware weak: Doth thy youth wear away: Doth age creep on a pace: Finally, dost thou feel thyself infected with the poison of the Plague and Pestilence: Then delay no time, but with a small price buy a gem worth gold, (this book I mean) which though it be little in quantity, yet it is great in quality and virtue. Here (as in a cunning Apothecary's shop (are receipts of sundry sorts provided, where with the rage of any sore may be mitigated, the nipping smart of any ulcere or wound assuaged, the venom of any malady expelled: and the perfection of health restored. Thus much in brief, by a souden blush judge of the rest, esteem it as it is, a necessary implement for any householder, yea in the next degree to our daily food and nourishment to be esteemed. Thank God for it, and use it in thy need. Here thou hast secure to serve thee in thy sickness.  
Thus farewell in Christ. T. C.
