[Chirurgerie vvhose perfect lyght]
Chirurgerie vvhose perfect lyght

VVhose learned men vvith diligence,

In our cost hath not yet apperd,
saue in most obscure vvyse,
Thorovv duskye clouds of ignoraunce,
that science doeth dispyse.

But maugre novve the malice great,

A most cleare Gale doth blovv avvaye,
those cloudes and them detect.
