    APPENDIX. III. {Page 208.) [Giileni do Snnitale tucn<],\ Libri bcx Thoma Linacro Anglo InU-rprete. Parisiis per Guilclmuiu Rubcuin Typogrnpluini, m.d.xvh.] Invictissirao illiistrissimoque Henrico octavo Anglia; regi, domino Hibernige, ac Walliai Cornubiaique piincipi, Thomas Linacrus, Medicus suus, salutem pluiimam dicit. Cum multi tibi quotidie, Henrice regum clarissime, splendore gloriaque nominis tui allecti; multa quae te varie oblectent, certatim afFerant: alius generosos equos, alius insignes canes, alius aurum argentumve; sed quorum ingenii cujuspiam opus materiam superet: ego cum ejus- modi facultatibus minime abundem, nihil vel officio meo vel professione dignius inveni, quam ut tibi studiorum meorum monumentum aliquod dicarem. Quo fieret ut simul otii quod per indulgentiam tuam a justo tibi minis- terio aliquando sufFuror, ratio tibi constet, simul intelligas me non modo horis iis quibus te praesens fruor; sed etiam reliquis omnibus id pro viribus moliri, quod tibi aliquando gratum fore existimem. Delegi igitur potissimiim ex iis quae nuper verti Galeni opus quod De Sanitate tuenda inscribitur, opus scilicet vel authoris merito, vel suo prae- stantissimum. Quippe author ipse tantus in omni medendi arte fuit, ut non immerito tum patriam suam nobilitarit, tiim seculum illustrarit: qui summis alioqui viris, qui ante eum vel condidisse artem vel plurimum auxisse sunt visi, omnibus plane, ciim ab Hippocrate discesseris, umbram sui nominis claritate induxit: atque hunc ipsum solus nobis sua partim intei*pretatione, partim commendatione servavit. Qui, nisi hujus fusa jucundaque claritas suppetias tulisset, lit minime a nobis intellectus, ita plane fuisset neglectus.
