sample: HIppocrates in his booke of windes or blastes, saith that phisick or medecine, is but a putting the body whiche it lacketh, or taking from the bodie thinges superfluous. And althoughe our life be shorte, yet the arte of phisicke is long, because great nombres of thinges be in it, and requireth muche study, labour and practise, and first of all, it requireth much contemplacion or knowledge, in studying good bookes, which is called Theoricha. Secondly the very effect of contemplacion or study, is pratica or actiua, whiche is doing of the thinges, that learninge haue taughte as repairing, amending, or preserving, the bodies of men, women and children. &c. (fol. 5v-6r)
