Comprehended under one or other of these seven Heads SECTION I. Of the first Division of Poysons AS First they are such as are 1. so of their own nature As Woolf-bane Hemlock Hen-bane and the like Or 2. such as are not so of their own Nature but become so when they putrifie and Corrupt As Flesh Fish Fruits c. putrified Or 3. Such as were made so by Art As Aqua Fortis Aqua Regis Mercurius Sublimate Praecipitate c. SECTION II. Of the second Division of Poysons and that they act not by Primary and manifest Qualities SEcondly they are are such as some teach which hurt either 1. by the primary and manifest Qualities As Hot Cold Dry Moist Or 2. by occult Or 3. by manifest and occult together Or 4. As others will by second qualities as they call it which Corrode or putrifie As Glass they say which they number among Poysons Corrodes the Belly and Intralls and thereby causeth Death But they may as well say splints of Bones Needles Pins or other sharp thing is Poyson because they also many times perforate the Intestines being swallowed and Destroy the party Neither do they rightly teach that Poysons offend and hurt by primary qualities if it be taken simply For that which so acts and works is not properly to be accompted Poyson But by occult qualities and by the proper y of the whole substance As Galen abundantly teacheth Lib. 3. De Temperamentis Cap. 4. in Lib. 1. De simplicium medicamentorum facultatibus Poyson doth not act by divers qualities Cap. De abrotano For if Poyson depended onely upon manifest qualities then whatsoever doth therein exceed should be poyson As Garlick Onyons and the like which by Dioscordies Galen Avicenna Serapio and other of the Antients are accompted Hot and Dry in the fourth Degree yet are not Poyson As is Auripigmentum quod proprietate totius substantiae nocet The other onely in quantity Yet we Deny not that there are Differencies in Poysons As some that hurt only by an occult quality without exceeding in the first qualities Others do exceed and hereby together with an occulte quality operates on the bodies of men yet so as that therein all Authours do not agree affirming that Euphorbium for example offends sometimes by an occult quality sometimes by the manifest and primary However those which are properly Poysons chiefly affect by an occult and hidden property So that although in one and the same subject there may be both manifest and occult qualities yet we are not to confound their effects For manifest and primary qualities either Heat or Coole or Moisten or Dry occult either Kill or Direfully hurt every quality acting according to its Nature Sine alterius Directione As Antonius Guaynerius Cap. 1. De Venenis excellently notes For although Avicenna and other Authours treating of Poysons affirm opium Euphoribium and others operate by manifest qualities they are to be understood thus speaking considering Poyson quantum ad specificam formam qua una species differt ab alia And according to this Consideration they sayed that some did work non quatenus Calidium aut frigidum sed quatenus tale habens scilicet virtutem humanae vitae sannitati contrariam c. SECTION III. Of the Third Kind of Poysons shewing that all have not an aptitude to Kill but that some are Mortall others not THirdly Some with Hieronimus Mercurialis Lib. 1. De Venenis Cap. 5. and others maintain that all Poysons are either Mortall or have an aptitude to kill But this is false as you will see in the Second Part where we shall Discourse of Poysons more particularly for some do only Infatuate Stupifie and hurt for a time As Philters and Love-Potions or as the Spider Tarantula which makes such as are thereby bitten to dane and be mad c. Or the Torpedo which stupifies and benums the parts that touch it c. For that Poyson which hurts only such members as are not necessary to life and doth not hinder or abolish what Conduceth to the Preservation thereof is not mortall neither can it have an aptitude thereunto Wherefore the more Rationall have agreed that some are Mortall others not Mortall or only very hurtfull And those that are Mortall kill either sooner or later and are those which affect the Vitall Parts as Braine Heart Liver Lungs c. SECTION IV. Shewing a Fourth sort of Poysons discovered by their effects and that some are Enemies to one part some to another FOurthly Some Poysons discover themselves unto us by their effects and operations whilst their formes are hid For some 1. Do more peculiarly affect and hurt the Brain as Night-shade Opium Hen-bane Mercury Torpedo Tarantula the braines of a Catt and others 2. Others are Enemies to the Heart as all those which suddenly kill as Scorpions and the like which suddenly pass through the Arteries to the Heart Some also 3. Are opposed to the Liver as all those Hearbs which evacuate blood which Galen Lib. de Purg. med facultat Cap. 4. mentions 4. Others to the Sperm vessels and genitalls as Cardan writes of one Lib. 3. De Venenis who by Poyson became barren 5. Some to the Lungs as Lepus Marinus 6. To the Bladder as Cantharides 7. Some again cause the dysentery whence it comes to pass that such who are bitten by poysonous Creatures or stung have their Veines Arteries Nerves and the like more effectually affected as the bite of a Scorpion as we said Conveies the venom to the Heart by the Arteries the bite of an Haemorrhous diffuses into all the Veines and causes an expulsion of blood The bite of a mad-Dogg delates neither by the Arteries nor Veines but Nerves especially And so the infection of the French-Pox or English-Pox as it may now be termed for the frequency of it among us Runs immediately to the Liver whilst the Brain and Heart is free Whence it happens that some poysons cause heaviness dulness stupidity Others Convulsions Epilepsies Apoplexies some excite to Laughter Madness Dancing Libidiny Fury Raging Sadness Fearfulness Some cause Feavers Paines Inflammations Some bring Death suddenly Some by degrees and more slowly according as the Poyson is in property the Nature of the Patient or according as it is used or applyed SECTION V. Shewing a Fifth Division of Poysons and that there is no Poyson to be prepared that can kill precisely a Moneth two three or a Year after it is administred Fifthly Some Poysons kill sooner and some later As the bite of an Aspe if some speedy course be not taken kills immediately especally that sort called Hyrundinaceus which as Galen and the Learned think kills so suddenly as that it is thougt to be Incurable Terrestris within 3. or 4. hours time and that sort which is called Pryas they think is more slow which it may be is that kind which Paraeus thinks destroyes in the third part of a day And a bite of a Mad-Dogg lyes long as it

Records one to have lived an whole year before he dyed yet was all that while in a most intollerable torment And Petrus Forestus observat med Lib. 18. Schol. observat 28. Tells us he hath known some have lived many years after but in grievous misery Et ego novi qui multos annos supervixere sed in magna miseria cruribus resolutis ut vix incedere possent et mulierem post dnos annos tandem vita orbatam Ita et religiosa quaedam Delphis veneno infecta longo tempore sed misere supervixit And Cardan Contradict 7. Tract 2. Lib. 2 Tells us of one that eat almost an ounce of Arsnick without the least prejudice The cure may be effected if taken in time first by vomiting it up if possible before it have diffused it self out of the stomach into the parts and that by butter and warm water or the Decoction seminis Rapi Atriplicis in quo Butyrum recens aut ol lini vel rosace●m sit liquefactum or any other sat liquor Forestus observat med Lib. 18. in schola observat 28. doth much commend oyle with a litttle chickin broath for a vomit Memini ego pueram apud Delphenses c. I remember I cured a Boy at Delph who had unawares eaten that kind of Arsnick which they usually lay for Mice commonly called by us Rats-bane onely with a vomit of oyle and chickin broath Adding a little after that he hath found of great use amongst such as he hath cured oyle of sweete Almonds given to drink with buttered-ale Milk likewise is highly commended by some Authors to this purpose whence the same Forestus loco citato affirmes that in Italy they use when poyson is first taken to drink Milk perpetually mixt with oyle of sweet Almends which he sayes Avicenna had experienc● of De cura I●teritiae in fine decerptum And M●nta●us will have them drink Milk till their thirst be quenched if possible for this kind of poyson doth exceedingly cause thirst For hereby he attests himself to have cured severall that had eaten fish fryed with butter and rouled in meal wherein Arsnick was mixt shewing farther that all such as drank liberally thereof were quickly well such as deferred the drinking of it grew worse and fell into grievous symptomes and paralytick sits and such as refused it wholly Dyed Petrus de Apono Tract De Venenis Commends Asses Milk who sayes he cured a young man that had taken that kind of Arsnick called Realgar in drink and was so affected that through too much Drought remained a● Immoveable First he administred Vomits as is before described then Clysters but the chief business was drinking of Asses Milk Lastly the specificall Antidotes of this kind of poyson Sunt in primis Christallus Fossilis pulverizatusʒj pondere cum oleo Amygdalorum dulcium recenti potus Secundo oltum è nucleis piniʒiij pondere exhibitum Tertio utilis est lapis Bezoar quod probat historia illa quam recenset Claudius Richardus in descriptione Bezoartici Lapidis Jordani de peste operi adjuncta ut scribit Schenkius observat med Lib. 7. fol. 994. SECTION IV Of Argent Vive its severall sorts and Antidotes ARgent Vive or Mercury as our Chymists vulgarly phrase it is of three sorts for it is either 1. Crude or 2. Sublimate or 3. Praecipitate To which we may add Cinabar being composed of Mercury But Naturall Cinabar I shall here pretermit wherefore then of these in order And first of Crude Mercury which taken rather in substance or by inunction or in fume causeth grievous affections and symptomes by its weight and eroding malignant quality as intollerable paines in the stomack and bowels wind gripings and erosions a generall indisposition of the whole body and sometimes a violent lask And if it be retained long in the body as many times it happeneth when it is mixed with some other medicament of a retaining quality or lies in some cavity longer then it ought or some such accident happening whereby it is kept still in the body unevacuated there followeth a suppression of Urine and the passages being stopt the whole man becomes infected and all his humours so that he turnes pale wan and of a leaden colour having a very corrupt and soetid breath And at length causes Palsies in severall parts and sometimes the Falling-sicknesse Apoplexie Swounding fits nay and Death it self as that Apothecary recorded by Cardan de venenis Lib. 1. cap. 20. who being exceeding thirsty in the night time drank instead of beere or other convenient liquor very largely of Crude Mercury in so much that being found dead in the morning and dissecting of him to find out the cause in his stomack was found allmost the quantity of a pint of Mercury the blood coagulated in his heart yet Alsaharavius Pract. Tract 30. c. 3. saies he saw one who devoured ten dramgs of Argent Vive without any hurt at all Botallus likewise Lib. de lue venerea affirmes that he hath seen one heard of divers that swallowed as many ounces and yet was thereby no wise damnified See more in Agricola Lib. 8. Fossilium Wierus Lib. 4. edit 6. Sanbarolitanus Comm. Avicen de cura casus et offens Pag. 189. Which record some to have dranke some pounds without any hurt Whence by the way it would argue it of a cold quality notwithstanding what some Authours have said against it much after the same manner are they affected that use it outwardly by inunction of receive the sume thereof As is apparent by that young man in Forestus observat med Lib. 8. observat 5. who receiving the vapour thereof into his brain could neither sleepe rest nor be at ease in any place with an universall trembling over all his body extraordinary palenesse and baldnesse his hair thereby falling off And Ferdinandus Ponzettus De Venenis Lib. 2. cap. 21. Tells us of a man in his time who by indevouring to convert Mercury into Luna or silver being one day negligent received the sume thereof into his head and so fell down dead immediately without one word speaking Likewise several have been kill'd by using oyntments in which Mercury hath been mixt by its penetrative nature through the pores affecting and infecting the blood and humours Joannes Schenckins observat med Lib. 7. fol 990. Records one who by the frequent use of Mercury it came to pass that his veines at length were perceived to be full of Mercury being penetrated therewith so that it was discerned to run up and down as his armes were elevated or depressed Yet there are Antidotes against all these as is to be found in the writings of the Learned Vtile est valde Lac Copiosius potum imprimis Asininum ut inquit Sennertus magnum verò imprimis auxilium praestat auri limati scobem vel folia auri sumere ut alii dieunt atque ita postea argentum viv●m per alvum cum auro egeritur Nec multum à
