sample: And we doe knowe what Chirurgerie is by three manner of waies. First, by the Etimologie of the word or name, by his definition, and by his diuision: Chirurgerie after his Etimologie, is called the operation with the hand, for it is named Apo tes chiros, cai tou ergou, that is to saie, of the hande, and his worke, because this Arte is exercised by the administration with the hand, and heereof commeth it to passe, that the minister with the hand is called Chirurgus, that is to saie, a Chirurgion: Chirurgerie according to the assentiall definition, is an Arte, which by the administration of the hand, doth expell & driue awaie sicknesse out of mans bodie, whereof chieflie & principallie it taketh cure and charge, or else Chirurgerie is an art, which by the cunning working with the hand, doth put awaie or remoue the sicknesses or diseases of mans bodie. The matter subiect to the art of Chirurgery, & the whole intention which the Artist doth occupie himselfe about, is onlie mans bodie, subiect to diseases & infirmities, which diseases and infirmities requireth the help of medicaments, ministred by the hand: For all things that the art of Chirurgerie doth finde out either by reason or experience, it teacheth the same to be done by the administration of the hand, to the vtilitie & profit of mannes bodie. Furthermore, Chyrurgerie is diuided into two parts, that is to saie, into Theorike and Practike. The Theorike part doth teach, and is a science obteined by demonstration, & by knowing the principles of the art. This part a man may haue, although hee neuer exercise or practise anie parte of the same, as the learned Phisitions and other learned men which dailie readeth the principles of Chirurgerie: But the Practike parte of Chirurgerie, is an arte which doth rightlie and readilie, by the administration of the hand vse such things as are inuented amongst mechanical arts, which part no man can be perfect in, except he be brought vp and exercised in the same. And doth both continuallie see other expert men worke in the same arte, & diligentlie obserue such things as he dooth see wrought. (18v-19r)
