containing all inward and outward parts of the body, with all the accidents and infirmities that are incident unto them, even from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot : also by what means (with the help of God) they may be remedied, very meet and profitable, not onely for all physitians, chirurgions, apothecaries, and midwives, but for all other estates whatsoever, the like whereof as yet in English hath not been published

And now in this fourth and last edition are very many additions added by some of our English physitians, which you may know by this mark [hand].

Our rough guess is there are 205,000 words in this book.
