Excerpt from The Gouernayle of Helthe: With the Medecyne of Ye Stomacke Had hindly aflyted me in my Purfuit, a Specimen of what the Englijh Pre/s in its fir/t Infancy was employed to produce. An Efibrt has been made, by the Ufi of Types very fimilar to thofie employed by Caxton, to give this Reprint jomething of the Appearance of the Original. To efiec'l this ftill further, the Types were caji expreflly in Pewter, which, from its Softnefis, yields an Imprejion refembling more the Produéiions of the early Printers, than could be obtained from a harder Material. Great Care has been tahen to mahe the T ext an accurate Reproduéiion of the Ori ginal. Not only has the Orthography been flrictly adhered to, but it is printed Page for Page, Line for Line, and Word fir Word, with all the Peculiarities and Variations of contracted and double Letters. It has alfo been deemed advifable to follow even the accidental Errors which frequently occur. But, as the Original alone, and in its antique Drtfi, might prove more puzzling than interqling to many Readers, even though accu/iomed to blach.
