![XI. {Page 228.) [Galeni Pergameni de Pulsuum Usu, Tho. Linacro Anglo inlreprele. Lon- dini, in sedibus Pynsoni: without date.] Reverendissimo in Christo Patri et Domino, Domino Thomas, divina providentia tituli Sanct* Ceciliae trans Tyberim, Sacrosanct* Roman* Ecclesiae Presbytero Cardinali, Eboracensi Archiepiscopo, et Apostolic* Sedis etiam de latere Legato, regni Angli* Primati, et ejus- dem regni magno Cancellario. Multos esse non dubito, reverendissime cardinalis et a latere legate, qui variis muneribus arte naturaque spectan- dis, prosperum tibi l*tumque futurum annum, calendis his ominentur. Mihi potius visum est literario aliquo munusculo, anni tibi felicitatem ominari: ratus nimirum munificentissimo instituto tuo, quo turn literas omnis generis tot modis promovere pergis, turn literatis omnibus te veluti parentem tot argumentis prestas, id esse non in- congruum. Accipies igitur ea frontis serenitate, qua tenuium clientum tuorurn obsequia soles, Galeni hoc opus- culum, in quo arteriarum motus usum mira solertia dili- gentiaque investigat. Sane si argumentum ipsum spectes, non leve, sed arduum, et acerrimo ingenio plane dignum, utpote in quo maxime archanum naturae opus veluti k tenebris in lucem profert. Sin voluminis modurn inspicias, cert& breve et sicut tenuitati donantis, sic saturnalibus quibus olim nuces et ficus boni omnis causa missitatae vel a principibus non aspernabantur, ut opinor non incongruum. Did precor, multisque felicibus annis valeas et vivas litera- torum unice Maecenas.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21930041_0347.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
