序

　　呻吟，病聲也。呻吟語，病時語也。病中疾痛，惟病者知，難與他人道，亦惟病時覺，既瘉，旋復忘也。　　予小子生而昏弱善病，病時呻吟，輒志所苦以自恨曰：「慎疾，無復病。」已而弗慎，又復病，輒又志之。蓋世病備經，不可勝志。一病數經，竟不能懲。語曰：「三折肱成良醫。」予乃九折臂矣。㽸痼年年，呻吟猶昨。嗟嗟！多病無完身，久病無完氣，予奄奄視息，而人也哉？　　三十年來，所志《呻吟語》，凡若干卷，攜以自藥。司農大夫劉景澤，攝心繕性，平生無所呻吟，予甚愛之。頃共事鴈門，各談所苦，予出《呻吟語》眎景澤。景澤曰：「吾亦有所呻吟而未之志也。吾人之病，大都相同。子既志之矣，盍以公人？蓋三益焉：醫病者，見子呻吟，起將死病；同病者，見子呻吟，醫各有病；未病者，見子呻吟，謹未然病。是子以一身示懲於天下，而所壽者眾也。既子不瘉，能以瘉人，不既多乎？」余矍然曰：「病語狂，又以其狂者惑人聞聽，可乎？」因擇其狂而未甚者存之。　　嗚呼！使予視息苟存，當求三年艾，健此餘生，何敢以㽸痼自棄？景澤，景澤，其尚醫予也夫！

　　萬曆癸巳三月，抱獨居士寧陵呂坤書。
