Pain of the Stomach There is feling in the whol Stomach but it is exquisite in the upper Orifice by reason of certain Nerves of the Six Pare which are there interwoven with admirable workmanship Feeling is Abolished and Diminished when there is need of hungring and Re●●sing Meat thirsting and yet the Stomach perceives it not but refuses both Meat and drink This proceeds from a great di●temper of Heat or Cold which causes Mor●ification unless the Patient be distracted The sence of feeling is depraved in the Pain of the whol Stomach or of the upper Heart-burning Orifice thereof which drawes the Heart and noble Parts to Sympathise therewith wherefore this pain of the Stomach is called Cardiogmos Cardialgia and the aking of the Heart or Heart-burning and causes that kind of swouning which is called Syncope Stomachica the Stomach swouning and comes through the Hearts Sympathising with the S●omach And to this Pain of the Stomach belongs Anxiety and U●quiet tumblings and Anxiety ●ossings which the Greekes terme Riptasm●s or Asse from whence the Feaver Assodes has its Name in which the Sick are ful of unquietness The motion of the Stomach is Relaxation Coarctation By the Want of Contraction upon the Meat H●ccuping Bel●hing latter it shuts it self upon the Meat to digest the same and when that motion failes there is nothing but ●●uctuations and risings both when a man is ful and fasting The motion of the Stomach is depraved in Hiccupings and Bel●hings Hiccuping is more trouble some then Belching and is an il sign in feavers whether it come by fault of the Stomach it self or by its Sympathising with some other Part especially the Li●er Hippocrates mentions a Disease called Morbus Ru●●uosus the Belching Disease Disorders in point of Excret●on are frequent in the Stomach either upwards in Symptomes in excretion a●e Vomitings and Spawlings or downwards in the Lienteria Diarr●●a and Coel●a●a Affectio Vomiting happens either by reason of obstruction of the upper or of the lower Vomiting Orifice if the upper be obstructed the Meat is stopped in the upper Orifice a while and presently after Vomited if the fault be in the lower the Meat is retained a longer time and at last Vomited up A daily Vomiti●g up of Choler without further trouble is no Disease nor ill Of Ch●ler Symptome because it happens by reason that a branch of the Choler carrying Vessel is carryed into the Stomach as Galen observes and proves by examples Vomiting of Blood is an evil Symptome whe●her the Blood flow from the Liver Of Blood by the Veins which are branched from the porta into the Stomach or from the Spleen by the h Ta● 4.

B B. f. 9. B B. □ The Medicinal Consideration Although the Eye be but a smal Part of the body yet is there no Part aflicted There are diuers Diseases ●…e Eyes and destroyed with more Diseases And therefore the ancient Physitians when they had diligently examined the structure thereof they observed so many and so divers disorders in its Parts as did amount to about one hundred and twenty partly Diseases and partly Symptomes and distinguished them by their Proper Names which in other Parts they did not do And Rome and Alexandria had Physitians that attended only the Cure of the Eyes In imitation of them I shall Of which some are general of the whol Eye a● declare the disposition against Nature happening to the Eyes And because most of the Names are Greek few of them Latin and our Chyrurgeons use them after the example of Leonardus Fuchsius in his Medicinal Institutions I wil retain and use them as Latin Names An Arabian Physition Haly by Name has writ a Book by it self of Diseases of the Eyes and there is a considerable French Book of the same Argument written by Jacobus Guillemeau the Kings Chyrurgeon unto which you may add if you please the Author of Medicinal Definitions the Book of Galen touching the differences and Causes of Symptomes and a bastard Book de Oculis attributed to him The Eye therefore is afflicted either by being encreased or diminished in its Diseases of Magnitude Quantity The Eye is diminished when it consumes for want of nourishment its Magnitude is augmented when it swels without the Eye-hole or Socket It s Scituation is changed when it fals without the Eye-hole which Disease is Of Scituation termed Ecpiesmos or if it turn to one side or another as in Squint-Eyed People and in him that saw through his nostrils and was therefore called Rhinoptis There ought to be two Eyes and therefore he that wants one is diseased in Number Number and is called Monoculus Furthermore the Eye is troubled by an hot and a cold Distemper and by inflamation Distemper c. of the whol body which by putrefaction of the Humors is turned into an Impostume It is somtimes Ulcerated whence the Eye becomes spoiled and the sight diminished And in case an Inflamation of the whol Eye turn to Suppuration which is called Hypopyon and transparent matter be collected under the Cornea Tunica shewing that the other Humors are not putrified there is hopes the Patient may recover sight the quittor being let out by pricking the Cornea which is happily practised at Paris and so with the Quittor a watery Humor is let out as in the couching of a Cataract Besides these general Diseases al the Parts whereof the Eye is made up have ● Special Diseases of other Parts their Diseases and Symptomes which I will particularly and briefly explain beginning at the Eye-Lids Eye-Lids Diseases as Emphysema Hydatis A moist distemper of the Eye-Lids with wind or a flatulent Spirit is called Emphysema With much Wheyish Humors it s termed Hydatis and by Celsus Vesica and Aquula which does so load and depress the upper Eye-Lid that it cannot be lifted up An hot distemper of the Eye-Lid Joyned with a thick Humor is cald Sclerophthalmia Sclerophthalmia Xerophthalmia Psorophthalima Hard-eyedness A dry distemper without Humors is Xerophthalmia if it cause Itching Psorophthalmia Unto which may be referred the Phthiriasis or Lowsie-Evil of the Eye lid If the said said hot and dry distemper Joyned with a sharp Humor do cause Redness pain and falling of the Hairs it is called Ptilosis Milphosis or Madarrhosis Ptilosis If it make the Inside of the Eye-Lid rough its called Tracoma which if it be Tracoma Sycosis Tulosis Crithe Chalasion● great so as to resemble the smal Seeds that are in Figs it s cald Sycosis if it be hard and of long Continuance its Name is Tulosis A little Tumor upon the upper Eye-Lid springing from a thick Homor is called Crithe the Barly-Corn If it be greater and movable because of its likeness to hail it called Chalasion the Hail-Stone A Disease of the Eye-Lids in Contiguity is when the Eye-Lids stick unto the Anchiloblepharon Coat of the Eye or to one another which Disease is called Anchiloblepharon the cause whereof is an exulceration of the Coat or the Eyes or the Eye Lids the exulceration being caused by an hot and dry distemper with a sharp Humor Lagophthalmia is a Convulsion of the upper Eye-Lid or a drawing back thereof Lagophthalmia Ippos by reason of a Cicatrice or some seam Ippos is the trembling of the said Eye-Lid both these Symptomes come by Consent of the Brain affected and therefore they are dangerous Ectropion Inversion is a Disease of the lower Eye-lid in Scituation of Figure Ectropion it is caused by a Scar without or by an excrescence of internal Flesh Chalasis or the loolness of the Eye-Lid is caused either by a Palsie through Chalasis consent with the Nerves of the Brain or by a moist distemper of the Eye-Lid in both cases the Hairs are turned inwards The generation of the Hairs of the Eye-Lids being depraved is called Trichiasis Trichiasis Dystichiasis it is twofold when more are bredthan ordinary it s called Dystichiasis when there is a row of Hairs more than usual But when the natural Hairs are only longer and inverted t is caled Phalangosis in both these the Hairs prick the Eyes t is caused Phalangosis by a moist distemper of the EyeLids with much Humor which is not sharp Tear-Kernels Diseases The Caruncle or little bit of Flesh in the greater corner of the Eye makes a Tumor Euchantis against Nature which is called Euchantis the Diminution of the said Caruncle is termed Rhyas which causes a dropping of moisture from the Rhyas Eye Near the said Caruncle and the Nose there breeds an Impostum through Inflamation which is called Anchylops which being broken and turned into a Fistula is Anchylops Aegylops termed Aegylops The Diseases of the Muscles of the Eyes as distempers Laxity and solution of Continuity are distinguished by the Names of the Respective Symptomes Diseases of the Tunica Conjunctiva The hot distemper of the Conjunctive Coat with Humor as blood or Choler if it be light and proceeding from an external cause as the wind or dust or a blow is Taraxis called Taraxis But if it spring from an internal cause as a Plethora or Cacochymia it is termed Opththalmia When it is but beginning it is called Epiphora which is a Name Ophthalmia Epiphora common to an

Chapter of his Book of the dissection of Muscles does call the first upper Rib by that name because it s placed beneath the Clavis Ruffus Ephesius cals the Acromium the coupling band of the Clavis and Scapula but Eudemus saies that it is a very little Bone which in children is a most exact gristle which though in process of time it degenerate into a Bone yet until they be 18. years old it retains much of the substance of a gristle contrary to the nature of al the other bones Some whiles it grows so highly together with the spine of the Scapula that in a person of middle age wrastling or exerci●eing it may easily be seperated which happened to Galen as himself tels us in his first Book de Articulis The like accident he observed in another as he relates in Comment ad Part. 1. Sect. 1. de Officina Hippocrtes himself takes notice of the Luxation of this Bone in his Articulis where he saies that the Acromium or shoulder-point is of a different nature in mankind from that which it is in other Creatures Upon the Neck of the scapula rests an a Apophysis which in children is an Epiphysis The use of the Apophysis coracoides from the likeness to a Crowes bil or an ancher it is termed coracoides and ancuroides It prohibits the shoulder from slipping out on that side according to Galen in Com. in part 1. Sect. de Art and therefore it was framed for the security and strength of the Articulation For when the Actions of the Hand and arme are forwards the shoulder would easily be unjointed unless it were retained by the coracoides and therefore the laxation of the shoulder is seldome towards the fore part Hippocrates did observe it once and Galen saw it five times at Roome as himself relates in his comment ad Part. 4. Lib. 7. de Articulis Now the pars of the Scapula he thus distinguished as much of the whol Commissure The parts of Scaplua how named by Galen or Joynting as is subiect to the sight he caled Omos that part which is under the knitting of the shoulder he called Epome which we terme Acromion and that broad part of the Scapula which is scituate behind and is covered with muscles is by Galen termed Omoplatae From this place we may gather fish out the Interpretation of an obscure passage in Cornelius Celsus in his eighth Book Againe from the Neck two broad bones on either hand doe goe vnto the Scapulae our Countrymen call them Scoptula operta the Greeks terme them omoplatas Celsus cals them Scopula operta because they stick out By Celsus like boughs of Trees and are scituate in the upper part of the Chest For the tops of Mountains were by the ancient Latins termed Scopula which Tertullian in his Book de Pallio
