Verus Pater OR A bundell of Truths Containing a Prognostication necessary at all times shewing Physicall precepts and rules of good husbandry with some other Astronomicall rules fit to be obserued And dedicated to the ancient memory of old Erra-Pater and his honest meaning Printed at London for T. L. dwelling on snow-hill 1●●● Verus Pater Heath of Body Part. 1. The Naturall Composition of mans Body EVery mans naturall body is compounded and made of seauen naturall things that is to say of Elements of Temperaments of Humors of Members of Powers of Operations and Spirits Exposition of Elements AN Element being a first beginning is a thing pure and simple of which all things are made into which all things are resolued and not discernable by the outward senses being the least part of the thing made thereof and of Elements there are only foure as Fire Aire Water Earth Fire is next the Moone and of operation hot and dry but most exceedeth in heate and the vertue is to moue matter to generation to separate things of diuers kindes and to ioyne things of like kinds together it doth ripen digest mixe and open Aire is next the fire it is hot and moist but especially moyst The vertue is to make things receiue shape naturally or accidentally it cooleth the burning of the heart and maketh al mixt bodies penetrable and light VVater is next the Aire it is cold and moist but most cold The vertue is to ioyne together things of diuers kinds to coole the violence of the fire and to gath●r together things which are disperst Earth is next vnto the VVater it is dry and cold but most dry The vertue is to harden bodies and make them retaine shape Exposition of Temperaments TEmperaments which are the mixture of the Elements beforesayd are nine that is to say eight vnequall the ninth equall Of the eight vnequall foure are simple and foure are compound The foure simple ace Hot Cold Moyst Drie the first two being actiue the latter passiue The foure compound are Hot and Moyst Hot and Dry Cold and Moyst Cold and Dry. Now the ninth equall Temperament is either generall or speciall if generall then it is when there is an equal proportion of the foure Elements and no more of one then of another If speciall then when the Elements are proportioned as euery kind doth require be it man beast or plant To these you may adde the second qualities which are deuided into two branches either touchable or not touchable if touchable they are softnesse hardnesse smoothnesse roughnesse toughnesse bricklenes lightnesse heauinesse thinnesse thicknesse smallnesse and grossenesse If they be not touchable then they appertaine to the senses as noises to hearing colours to seeing odors to smelling c. which truly marked will discouer any sicknesse Exposition of Humors THe humors in man are foure first Blood which is of the nature of the Aire and sweete in taste Secondly Fleame which is of the nature of water and wallowish in taste Thirdly Choller which is of the nature of fire and bitter in tast And lastly Melancholly which is of the nature of the earth and sowre in taste Now though these are generally ouer all the body yet they haue their particular places as blood about the heart fleame in the braine choller in the Liuer and melancholly in the spleene Blood nourisheth fleame moueth choller emptieth and melancholy filleth Exposition of Members MEmbers are of two kinds either Semblable or Instrumentall if Semblable then being deuided into parts each part is alike in substance to the whole haue but one name with the whole as Flesh Bone Senewe c. If Instrumentall then being made of parts semblable and deuided the parts are not alike nor haue one name with the whole as Head Hand Foote c. And of these instrumentall members foure are most principall as the Braine the Heart the Liuer and the Genitals the first three preseruing the particular body the last the whole kind also from the Braine spryngeth the synewes from the heart the arteries from the Liuer the veynes and from the genitalls the vessells of séede Exposition of Powers THe powers ruling in man are thrée The first Animall procéedeth from the braine giuing by the synewes féeling and moouing to the whole body The second Vitall and proceedeth from the heart giuing by the arteries life and spirit to the whole body The third Naturall and proceedeth from the Liuer giuing by the veines nutriment to the whole body and from this power naturall issueth foure other powers as the power Attractiue which draweth sustenance to nourish the power Retentiue which keepeth it receiued the power Digestiue which digesteth it and the power Expulsiue whereby it auoyds excrements Exposition of Operations OPerations are the actions procéeding from the powers as from the power Animall proceeds the operation to discerne to moue and to féele from the power Vitall proceeds the operation to restraine and to loosen the heart and from the power Naturall procéedes the operation to ingender to increase to nourish to desire to drain to change to digest to retaine and to expell Now these operations are either voluntary or not voluntary The voluntary are those which a man may further or hinder at pleasure as going standing or lying downe and those not voluntary are they which depend not on the will of man but are done of their owne accord naturally 〈◊〉 the moouing of the heart passage of the blood beating of the pulse such like Exposition of Spirits A Spirit which is the fine pure cleare and ayerie substance of man is deuided into two kinds the Spirit Animall which giueth feeling and mouing vnto man and hath his pallace in the braine being continually watered and nourished with the caule thereof and the Spirit Vitall which is the cause of all the naturall heate in the body and hath his pallate in the heart being nourished and preserued partly by breathing and partly by blood And these seauen thus treated of being preserued in their true force and vertue man is euer sound and perfit but corrupted or troubled the body falls into most mortall sicknesse What impayreth mans health THe things which impayre mans health are accounted not naturall and they are fire as Ayre Meate and Drinke Moueing and Rest Sleepe and watching emptines and fulnesse and the Affects of the minde any of which disorderly applyed bring sicknesse but orderly vsed they doe preserue the body To these may be added other three as Causes the Sicknesse and Accidents The causes are euill affects going before and promouing sicknesse and they are of two kinds as internall which breed within the body and externall as those without as heate cold or wounds Sicknesse is an euill Affect against nature and is of three kinds the first in parts alike the second in parts instrumentall and the third in both The first is simple as when one quality aboundeth or compound as when diuers do
