TO THE READER.  
IN my opinion gentle Reader (which also is the saying & writing of all the Philosophers,) those things are most principal to be taught and maintained, which in the common wealth are most profitable and necessary, then may I say without just cause of reproof: if some think no shame to displeasure many, for the pleasuring of a few, than I need not to blush, nor fear to profit many, by hurting of none, by the publishing of this my book abroad: not penned without pain, nor drawn without diligence, nor ended with ease, wherein are such and so many notable, rare, profitable, and precious things, as never were yet set forth in any volume in our English tongue, nay, divers of them were never hitherto imprinted. Although I have given the onset to publish in our own natural tongue this most excellent work for all diseases, for the which cause it should not be the less esteemed, although some, more curious than wise, esteem of nothing but that which is most rare, or in hard or unknown languages. Certainly, these kind of people cannot abide that good and laudable Arts should be common to many, fearing, that their name & practice should decay, or at the least should diminish: the intention truly of such persons, seemeth much like them that gape for all, and would all have, leaving nothing to any body, but that which they must needs forego: not considering that we are not borne for ourselves only, as Plato saith, but for the profit of our Country. Surely, if I did not fear to be too long in this my preface, I would prove, how all Arts and Sciences may be published in that tongue which is best to be understood, as for example. Galen the Prince of this Art, being a Grecian, wrote in the Greek. Also, King Auicene he wrote in the Arabian speech. Also Pliny, Celsus, Serenus, and other of the Latinists, wrote to the people in the Latin tongue. Marcillius Ficinus, whom all writers assent to be singularly well learned, disdained not to write in the Italian language, generally to all men. If then the intent of all that ever set forth any notable study, have been to be read of as many as would, what reason is it that we should keep secret among a few, the thing that was made to be common to all? Christ saith, no man lighteth a Candle to cover it with a bushel, but setteth it to serve every man's need: and these go about not only to cover it when it is lighted, but to quench it before it be kindled, if they might by malice: which as it is a detestable thing in any godly Science, so me thinks in this so necessary an Art, it is exceeding damnable and devilish, to debar the fruition of so inestimable benefits, which our heavenly Father hath prepared for our comfort and innumerable uses, wherewith he hath armed our impotent nature, against the assaults of so many sicknesses, whereby his infinite mercy and abundant goodness., is in nothing else more apparently confessed: by the which benefits, as it were with most sensible arguments spoken out of heaven, he constraineth us to think upon our own weakness, and to acknowledge, that in all flesh is nothing found but misery, sickness, sorrow, sin, affliction, & death: no, not so much strength as by our own power to relieve one member of our bodies diseased. As for the knowledge of medicines, comfort of herbs, maintenance of health, prosperity and life, they be his benefits & proceed of him, to the end that we should in common help one another; and so to live together in his Laws and commandments: desiring all those which shall find any fault herein, that they will friendly amend that is amiss.

The vein that is under the knockell without, that is called Sianca, it is good for aching that is in the thighs, & goeth down to the legs and to the feet, and for the Podagar, and for the scab, it helpeth most the aching of the thighs and joints, that is called Scrattica passio.  
The vein that cometh to the great toe en either foot, it is good for the gout in the eyes, for blains and spots in the face, and for postumes and evils of the stones, for the blood, for cankers, festers, and sores in the thighs and legs, and for withholding of women's purgations.  
As for the time of letting blood, to wit, that neither in hot weather, nor yet in great cold, nor in rainy weather, nor in misty weather, nor in the weather of great tempest, nor in the old Moon, nor in the new: that is to say, four days be fore the change, neither four days after, but the three first quarters be good, see that the Moon be in a good sign, and from S. Bartholme we tied to Saint Peter's tide: till February let the blood on the left arm, and in januarie on the right, that is to say, Ver or summer, from the xxv. day of july to the fift of September let no blood, for then the canicular days be, after the teaching of Galen and Auicenna.   

Rules concerning blood-letting to be observed.  
Also be ye always well advised, and wary, that ye let no blood, nor open no vain, except the Moon be either in Aries, Cancer, the first half of Libra, the last half of Scorpio, or in Sagitarius, Aquarius, or Pisces, remembering also that you ought not to do it in the day of the changing, nor in the day next before, nor next after the same, or when the sign is in the place where the incision should be made: neither in the heat of Summer, as from middle july unto the middle of September, nor in the cold time of Winter, when there is much frost and snow, except urgent necessity forceth you thereunto. Also if you choose out these signs following, appointed unto each complexion, doubtless you shall do the better, so that time and occasion will suffer it, as thus.  
Open a vein in the phlegmatic person, when the Moon is in Aries, saving in the head.  
In a melancholic man, the Moon being in the first half or fifteen degrees of Libra, except in the hips, or when the Moon is in Aquary, saving in the legs.  
In a choleric body, it is best to let blood what time the Moon is in Cancer, saving in the breast, the last half of Scorpio. saving in the privy members, or in Pisces, saving in the feet.  
The sanguine man may bleed in any of the foresaid signs, so that he do it not what time the sign is in the member, or the season inconvenient therefore. Beware also ye Chirurgeons, that you make no notable incision, as to cut Ruptures, take out the Stone in the bladder, devoid from the body any natural Excrescentes, Wens, or Nodes, to dipart, deplorate or rotten members, to root out the Canker in the breast, let out the water collected in the belly through the disease Ascites: to be short, to make an incision or cautherization in any member, or to remove the Catricle from the eye, or to attempt any other like thing by manual working upon the body of man, when the sign governing the same is in the member in the which such attempts are to be made for the remedy of any of these diseases abovesaid: or when the Lord of the ascendent or first house, is the same sign that governeth part of the body at that tune, or when there is any oppositions, conjunctions, or quartile aspects of Saturn and Mars, or when any Planet is evil aspected unto another, or when the Moene is in the sign of Leo, or in the day of the change, or full, except great necessity require it.  
Moreover, I would wish no incision to be made about the full of the Moon, where-after any great flux of blood may be feared to ensue, though the sign be never so meet, but rather let it be done in the wane of the Moon.  
As touching the stone ruptures, Dropsies, to be helpen by way of incision, I have rather mentioned them in this place, because that the rude and ignorant Chirurgeon may be brought to the true practice and knewledge hereof. I doubt not but to make many partakers of the benefit thereof, whose good intent, I would wish either to follow in those attempts, and so to use it in utter refuge, when other means will take no place in that case, it being a most assured remedy for the true and due observations of letting blood, right well allowed, and practised at all times.   

Rules for purging.  
ALso it is good to take purgations when the Moene is in Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces to give pills especially when the Moon is in Pisces. Purge by drinks, electuaries, boles, when the Moon is in Cancer or Scorpio, remember that you purge not in the change, nor in any unfortunate aspect of the Planets unto any other, neither in the extreme heat or cold of the year.  
Now, if any man would know what commodity purging or bleeding bringeth, being rightly used, and done in such sort as it ought to be done, or what diet and exercise should be used after bleeding, and order observed in purging with the inconvenience and harm, which may and doth daily proceed of the negligence and unskilfulness in the contempt of the same.
