caret alt erna requie durabile non est Haec reparat vires fessaque membra leuat And in his first booke De Ponto Ocia corpus alunt animus quoque pascitur illis Immodious contra carpit vtrumque labor Here is to be vnderstood rest that is fitte and conuenient both to the body and minde whether it be by relaxation and recreation liberal or mean for there is no man of so great strength that he is able to endure continuall stirrings watchings cares and labours but at the last both body and minde is dried and wearied vnlesse there be remission vsed Of the manner of vsing exercise and rest Cicero speaketh in the first booke of his offices Ludo Ioco vti quidem licet sed sicut somno quietibus caeteris tum cùm grauibus serijsque rebus satisfecerimus It is a true saying that confecto labore dulce est quiescere And Auicem saith that whosoeuer he be that is of an hotte and drie complexion and by exercise is fallen into any notable disease he is forth with recouered with rest Doct. The next in order is Emptines Inanitio Repletio and Repletion Stud. It is true and looke how much we may offend to defraud an hungrie stomacke so much shall we offend to offer meate vnto a ful stomacke as Auicen saith in primo Can. sen 3. Cap. De regimine Auicen cibi potus For as the want of meat doeth fill the stomacke with euill humors so that same plethoria and continuall fulnesse causeth opilations putrifaction apostumes leprosie and feuers But this is to be obserued that if the Attractiue faculty and the Retentiue doe remaine in their naturall strength that then repletion cannot by any meanes be hurtfull especially if a right order of meats and drinkes be obserued And so in like manner if the vertue digestiue and expulsiue be strong emptinesse cannot be hurtfull for thereby the body is auoyded of his burdensome and hurtfull humours of which it is requisite that it should bee clensed and purged But when these faculties are hurt and become weake so that an emptinesse cannot bee suffered and a repletion cannot nourish or profit the bodie we must then take heed how we vse the one or the other Doct. But how are diseases proceeding of fulnes remedied Stud. By vomit by flux of the belly by flux of blood at the nose by vrin by spittle by sweate by insensible transpirations which beeing vnfelt by vs doth happen through the strength of nature Moreouer sometimes there must be vsed the incision of a veine scarification the application of leeches of cupping glasses and vesecatories But sometimes it happeneth that none of these aforesaid euacuations may bee vsed then must be supplied exercise labour srication and rubbings baths abstinence sleepe and such like especially in the times of famine but in euery of these there must be had a due consideration how much and how little is conuenient according to the state of euery bodie Doct. Now proceed vnto the last of Animi Affectus things not naturall which you say is Animi Affectus the perturbations and affections of the mind Of Affections of the mind Stud. AFfects are the motions of the mind by which it is either exhilarated or disquieted for sorrow and anguish with such like are as it were Carnifices tortores annimi corporis the very torturers and murderers of the mind and bodie but on the contrarie ioy hope and a good conscience are the sweet nurces of life and health as Plato speaketh in 1. De Repub. Therefore it very much auaileth both to the health of the body of the mind to be able to moderate these affects in that order that nature may not be hurt for we haue read of some that with sudden ioy haue suddenly died as Valerius reporteth of two women in Rome And what affects arise by anger may easily bee perceiued when that some by extraordinary fury and rage doe fall into the Apoplexie the palsie spasms and conuulsions with diseases of the ioynts and sometimes into a trembling of the whole body nether doth there happen lesse euill vnto bodies through terrour or feare as the syncop falling-sicknes euen as on the contrary in some kinds of diseases it is profitable to bee terrified and made afraid Sadnes and anguish of mind worke no small affects and especially waighty cogitations for it induceth vnquietnes and watchfulnes which hurteth the senses and diminisheth the strength of the whole body wherefore as Hip. saith a moderation in all those affects is very healthfull and profitable Pars 3. Doct. YOu told mee in the beginning that the Art of physicke Pathologia was concluded vnder three things which you termed natural not natural against nature of the two first we haue briesly spoken let vs proceed vnto the third in like manner and let mee know of you what those things are which are against nature Stud. Those things that are sayd to bee against nature are in number three viz. Sicknes the Cause of sicknes and Accidents that doe follow sicknes And generally euery disease is either of an euill complexion an euill composition or a solution of the continuitie which hapneth either in the similer members or in the instrumentall or in both And first a disease of an euill complexion hapneth sometimes from the excesse or defect alone of some qualitie as if either heate or cold doth abound in the body then there is wanting the more of moysture and drithe Sometimes also a disease hapneth from the abundance or defect of some humor as if the bodie doe abound with melancholy or slegme it hath the lesse of choler and bloud and so on the contrary Secondly a disease rising through an euill composition is either from the forme and figure of the parts of the body from the quantity from the number and situation of the same parts Thirdly the solution of the continnitie hapneth through some Apostume wound dislocation rupture fracture conuulsion or excoriation Furthermore euery disease is either Morbi acuti atque chronici 2. Aph. 23. acute or chronical Al acute diseases are hot are iudged in 14. dayes as Hip. doth testifie The latter sort of Physitions doe call those acute diseases that haue their termination in foureteene dayes and those peracute which haue their termination in 7. and those perperacute which haue their termination in foure Chronicall diseases are cold and dull and are of longer continuance In like Hip. 6. epid li. partic 1. Aph. 7. manner acute diseases are termed 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and sometimes they are changed into a Chronicall disease as the Plurisie into the Gout the Cholick into the Palsie And Chronicall diseases for the most part are determined with a daily consumption Doct. What is Crisis Stud. Crisis is a swift and vehement 〈◊〉 quid motiō of a disease either to life or death and it happeneth about the supreme intention of
