Excerpt from Synopsis Medicinae or a Compendium of Galenical and Chymical Physick: Showing the Art of Healing According to the Precepts of Galen Paracelsus, Fitted Universally to the Whole Art of Healing Wonder not, Courteous Reader, at the Appearance of this untimely fruit; a Miscellany only intended for private use: The occasion of its Publication was at the earnest request of special friend who with many Words and Arguments gained at last, So far upon us, as to give our consent, that (although short of our intentions, or of the Lustre and Maturity, which the fulness of time might have gave it) should he Emitted to the World. It hath been our care and diligence that herein we impose nothing upon the World; every one may follow that which pleases him; he that dislikes may pursue his own Way, It is not to be supposed that we should propose all the particulars, which are eminent against each Disease; No, that was a work too great for our intended brevity; it requires the farther diligence of the industrious Student, whose care in this kind may prove a double recompence for all his labour. Notwithstanding all our watchfulness and toyl in attending the Press, gross errors may have been committed, the which we hope the sons of Art will easily correct and pass by, if any error be essential, we here profess it was never intentional, So we intreat all the lovers of Learning either silence to pass it by, or else candidly to discover the same to our self. To those who shall deal other wife with us, we send that of Martial the poet, Let him that faults shall find, himself declare, Faultless to be, or else to carp forbear. And to those that may (through envy) thus carp against what we have done, or any part thereof, we here signifie, that although we bear no contentious Spirit, but have made peace our way, yet we are, and ever shall be, a professed enemy to every false thing and way, accounting nothing else so dear to us in this world as Verity.
