THE APHORISMES OF HIPPOCRATES PRINCE OF PHYSITIANS WITH A short COMMENT on Them taken out of those larger Notes Of GALEN HEURNIUS FUCHSIUS c. With an exact Table shewing the substance of every APHORISME LONDON Printed for Humphrey Moseley at the Princes Arms in St. Pauls Church yard 1655. Hippocrates his life out of Soranus HIppocrates was born in an Island in the Aegean sea called Cos or Ccos and was the son of Heraclides and Praxithea the daughter of Phenaretes He reckoned his Pedigree from Hercules and Esculapius and counted himself nineteen generations or descents from the one and twenty from the other Of his Genealogy Erat●sthenes makes mention and Pherecides and Apollod●rus and Arius Tarsensis He was his Father Heraclides disciple then to one Her●dicus and as some relate he heard Leontinus the Rhetorician and Democritus the Philosopher of Abdera He flourished in Pelops his time and was born as Isthomachus relates in his first book of Hippocrates Sect. in the first yeer of the eightieth Olimpiad But S●ranus a Coan having searched the Library of Cos goes further and saith he was born during Abriada his Monarchy the seven and twentieth day of the month Agrian at which time the Coans do to this day offer Sacrifices to Hippocrates Another Author saith he lived in the times of Eliachim Malachi Pereno and Socrates He being exceeding skilful in Physick and the whole course of learning after his parents died forsook his native Country as one Andreas falsly imputes to him in a book which he hath written of the Origine of Physick for having fired the Cuidians Library Others say he left his Country through a desire he had to see the effects and success of Physick in several effects Climates and places But Soranus saith the Lord appeared to him in a dream and wished him go to live in Thessalia Howsoever he was famous all Greece over and admired for his skill in Physick so far that he was by Ambassadours sent for to Perdi●cas King of Macedonia when he was thought to lye sick of a Consumption and came to him together with one Euryphon who was elder then he and by some signes and tokens found that the Kings disease was a trouble of the mind for after the death of his Father Alexander he fell in love with one of his Concubines called Phila Which Hippocrates discovered by his pulse in which he felt an alteration at her coming into the room and acquainting Phila therewith cured the King He was also called to Abdera to recover Democritus from his madness and expel the Plague out of the whole City And the Plague being at a time gotten in amongst the Pahnonians and Illyrians they sent Ambassadors for him who having enquired of them what winds ordinarily blew there sent them away unsatisfied and when by prudent Arguments he foresaw the Plague would prevail upon the Atticans dominions he foretold it and took great care both of those Cities and of his Disciples And he so truely loved Greece that the renown of his learning spreading it self as far as Persia and Artaxerxes sending for him by means of Hystanides Governor of Hellespont upon proffer of exceeding great rewards preferring honesty before lucre of mony he absolutely denyed him as by his letter written to him it plainly appears He freed his own Country when the Athenians intended to war against it and had called the Thessalians to aid them whereupon he had great honors decreed him by the Coans Yea and by the Thessalians Argives and Athenians who entered him into the Eleusinian Sacrifices or mysteries next to Hercules and admitted him into their franchize and allowed both him and all his posterity maintenance of Corn out of their common Granaries He taught all as were studious of this Art freely and without envy He died amongst the Larisseans about that time as Democritus also died some say at ninety some at eighty five some at one hundred and four some at a hundred and nine yeers of age And was buried between Gyrtone and Larissa where his Monument is to this day to be seen in which for a long time there was a swarm of Bees with whose hony the nurses coming to the Monument would anoint the Ulcers of infants mouths and cure them In many of his pictures and Images he is painted with his head covered some say with a hat it being a sign of Nobility for so was Vlisses painted Some say his head was covered with his Cloak which some affirm was for comeliness because he was bald and some by reason of the weakness of his head But some will have it done so by him significatively to shew that it i● fitting to have the chief ●eat of the soul well guarded and covered Others say it is the dress of one who loves travel some again say it was to demonstrate the obscurity of his writings And finally some that it was to testifie that we ought in our health time beware of such things as may be hurtful to us Though some affirm it was because his cloak should not hinder him hanging about his hands when he was about to give Physick and that therefore he wrapped it up and cast it behind his head There is great controversie about his writings so that the●e being several opinions it is not easie to assert any thing certainly concerning them for many causes which may obcure a mans judgement As first his sirname Secondly because it is not possible to observe his phrase Thirdly because that according to his age he alters it besides many other reasons I could if I pleased alleadge He always contemned mony was pious and a lover of the Greeks Wonderful well-affected to his own Countrymen so that he freed them all from the Pestilence as I said before wherby he was much honored both by them and the Argives and Athenians He left two sons after his decease Thessalus and Draca and a great number of Disciples but his sons were the most famous Hippocrates his Oath I Swear by Apollo the Physician Aesculapius Hygiea Panacea and call all the Gods and Goddesses to witness that I will observe and keep this underwritten oath to the uttermost of my power judgement I wil reverence my Master who taught me this Art equally with my Parents will allow him things necessary for his life and will esteem his children as brothers and do they desire it will teach them this my Art without any salary or Covenant I will participate all my instructions and Lectures and whatsoever I know else to all mine own and my Masters children yea and to all my schollers who shall in writing be bound to me and tyed by a Physical oath and to none else And as what concerns curing of the sick I will to the uttermost of my power and judgement prescribe them their diet and will secure them from all detriment and injury I will not by any mans intreaties be moved to minister poyson to any man nor give any advice to
