A02758	Klinike, or The diet of the diseased· Divided into three bookes. VVherein is set downe at length the whole matter and nature of diet for those in health, but especially for the sicke; the aire, and other elements; meat and drinke, with divers other things; various controversies concerning this subject are discussed: besides many pleasant practicall and historicall relations, both of the authours owne and other mens, &c. as by the argument of each booke, the contents of the chapters, and a large table, may easily appeare. Colellected [sic] as well out of the writings of ancient philosophers, Greeke, Latine, and Arabian, and other moderne writers; as out of divers other authours. Newly published by Iames Hart, Doctor in Physicke.	Hart, James, of Northampton.	1633 (1633)	STC 12888; ESTC S119800	647,313	474

all cordiall juleps where cooling especially is required They are to bee eaten before other food the which is in all these short-lasting Summer-fruits to be observed There is yet another small fruit not much unlike the former either in forme or operation and in no small request both for food and physicke And although some preferre the Strawberry before the Raspe yet is not this the judgement of all this being accounted more cordiall than the Strawberry And indeed the smell and taste me thinks doe insinuate no lesse unto our senses which occasioned most of the Apothecary shops of Germanie to be alwaies well furnished with the sirup of this simple in imitation of that great Gesner who had it in so high an admiration And although it bee accounted as cooling as Strawberries yet I incline rather to thinke it temperate if not inclining to some moderate heat Howsoever neither of these fruits nourish much and moisten apparently their siccity being very small This fruit is also esteemed good against the inflammations of the mouth and tensills and fluxes of the belly If either of these fruits be eaten in excesse they ingender Fevers The Mulberry as well as the former fruits is of two colors red and white the white is of an unsavory taste and therefore we will leave this tree to the silke-wormes The Poet reports that Mulberries were at the first all white but that afterwards they were died red with the blood of the two true lovers Pyramus and Thisbe They are also to be eaten before meales or with an empty stomacke although antiquity used them after meales as witnesseth an antient Poet. If eaten with a full stomacke they ingender many dangerous diseases And because of their cooling and moistning quality they are best in hot and cholericke bodies young persons and the Summer season and they loosen the belly also much moisten the inward parts are good against thirst and roughnesse of the throat and by some are thought to provoke urine especially our Arabian Physitians and besides are thought to cleare the blood from all corruption for the which cause some have been of opinion they were good against the gout And a learned late Physitian relateth a story out of an old Author that in his country for the ful space of twenty yeers together the Mulberrie trees bare no fruit at all and that for this cause during all that time the gout did so rage that not only men and women children and eunuchs contrary to Hippocrates his rule but even whole flockes of sheepe and goats also were so therewith assaulted that scarce the third part of them escaped free But what should be the cause that Mulberries should either cure or yet prevent the gout I confesse I could never yet finde out and all the colour I can finde for it is that by meanes of loosening the belly they may scowre away superfluous humors the cause of this disease and so may many other simples farre more effectually so that in this it will come short of many others so farre is it from obteining any prerogative above them And why may not this learned mans opinon granting that this story were yet true be a fallacie a non causa pro causa assigning that for a true cause which is none at all Another learned Physitian troubleth himselfe much to find out a cause of it but is faine to leave it as he found it even so must we where none is to be found as I am of opinion there is none Of this fruit is made a sirup for sore throats called Diamoron It is best that is made of Mulberries before they be full ripe which are both more cooling and astringent in this case much requisite There is a bramble growing every where wilde in the fields the berries whereof before they be full ripe may be used in defect of the former The Goose-berrie was not knowne it seemeth in antient times howbeit now with us in frequent use Green Goose-berries are of a cooling and astringent facultie and in stead of verjuice are used as a soveraine sauce to divers sorts of meat and although they yeeld small nourishment to the body yet are they good to sharpen the appetite and against thirst and choler much resisting putrifaction Goose-berries full ripe are not so cold as the former yea rather inclining to a meane temper The full ripe are not usefull for sauces and being eaten in abundance they ingender corrupt humours and in hot cholericke constitutions are quickly converted into choler The unripe eaten raw of hot stomacks keeping within compasse will coole the same but are safelier used being boiled and as they use to speake scalded and a little sugar and rose-water with them they prove a dainty dish for this effect Of Goose-berries not yet full ripe our Ladies and Gentlewomen know how to make a daintie marmalade and many other things fit to refresh the appetite of a weake and languishing stomacke which for brevities sake I here passe by That little berry which the vulgar call Currants although it have no affinitie with them and by the Arabian Physitians called Ribes is of two sorts both red and blacke although the red is most with us in request best knowne and most effectuall both in Physicke and food It is indeed most ordinarily used for physicke although it may well be used also for sauces The ripe Ribes agreeth much in vertue with the unripe sowre Goose-berry howbeit I thinke it rather exceedeth the same It is cold moderatly not exceeding the first degree but exceeding the same in moisture participating of some siccitie and a notable astringent qualitie whereby it strengtheneth a weake stomacke and exciteth a weake and languishing appetite It is exceeding good as the other against all fevers inward inflammations maligne diseases proceeding of putrefaction of humours as also in hot cholericke constitutions and young age But in old age cold constitutions and diseases in the breast and lungs it is not so good the which is also to be observed in other acide and sharpe liquours and fruits Of it with sugar is made that composition commonly called Rob of Ribes Of the like nature and vertue is that berrie which is commonly called Barberries and in vse for the same purposes as fevers hot stomackes fluxes c. They are used both in conserves and also preserved Gerard in his Herball maketh mention of severall sorts of whorts or whortle-berries blacke red and white all of an astringent faculty and are called by a generall name Vaccinia They stop fluxes and casting of choler coole the body for the which purpose the black be the best There is another berry which at London they commonly call Bilberries and in the Northermost part of this Iland Bleaberries well knowne by the blewish violet colour wherewith they die the lips and teeth of the eaters They use commonly to eat them with creame and

after this they attaine to some place of the Church some of greater and some of lesser value And some againe rise to higher preferment according to worth meanes friends and favour The worthy honest carefull and conscionable Divines for of such I speake are laborious and painefull in their callings preaching in season and out of season administering the Sacraments and visiting the sicke c. And with those most laborious I parallell the Physitians paines and not with many other idle ones there being no need of any comparison with such persons Now this is a prerogative common to all Divines that although many of them come farre short of that allowance which the eminency of their callings the excellency of their parts and great paines doe deserve yet are they sure of their allowance during life and during that time and terme he knoweth there is no body can come betwixt him and home And this to be reasonable and equitable no honest man I thinke will deny The Lawyer is likewise trained up in the schooles of good learning both grammaticall and sometimes Philosophicall at least most part of them have spent some time at the Vniversity and what time is wanting there it is againe supplied by continuance and studying in some Innes of Court and after a convenient time they are admitted to the barre to practise their profession and are according to custome paied for their counsell Many also in processe of time as the Divines in the Church so are they likewise some I meane preferred to high and eminent places of the common-wealth both of judicature and others As for the matter of the studies whereabout both are conversant the one is employed in the large study of Divinity which concerneth the soule The other in the cases of the common-law of this land which I confesse is a painfull and laborious study and many cases with variety of circumstances therin to be considered and those who are emploied are requited for their paines as both equity and reason doe require that a man should live by his labours Now as concerning the Physitian he is not behind either of the other two in the ordinary time of his study and that both in the ordinary grammar-schooles and the Vniversity And as concerning the nature and quality of the particular study of this profession it is as hard and intricate if not more as any of the former two and besides it is of a farre larger extent For in the first place schollers well know the Theory of Physicke to be a great and large field of knowledge our Authors many and various and of severall sorts the Authors of severall nations and written in severall ages and at severall times Greeke Latine Arabian and divers others both antient and moderne of all which the learned Physitian for of such and not of ignorant and unlearned Empirickes I here speake maketh use And the Physitian doth yet herein goe beyond the other two in that hee is besides his ordinary Theory to bee acquainted with the whole structure and frame of the body of man as being the subject whereabout he is conversant Besides he searcheth into the secret and abstrusest closet and cabinet of nature inquiring into the natures and qualities both of simples and compounds in the universall world all things sublunary comming within the compasse of his profession yea the Heavens themselves come within the precincts of his knowledge although not in that superstitious manner as some doe and would tye us thereunto But he considereth exactly the aire with the alterations thereof and neglecteth not the other Elements with all the creatures conteined therein either for the use of food or Physicke Now come to the Physitians practicall imployment and what profession can compare with the Physitians paines The severall and various constitutions of mens bodies so diametrally differing one from another together with the various accidents like sudden stormes arising in the aire make the Physitians paines often extraordinary What shall I say of the Idiosyncrasicall as I may so call it or individuall severall propriety of divers patients differing often as farre as one face from another in feature And what a world of worke doth this breed to an honest and industrious Physitian while as he is not only forced to prescribe fit and apt remedies against the disease of what sort soever which were worke enough but must with all accommodate himselfe to give content to so many severall palats perhaps as he hath patients as the Poet said of his guests Some cannot endure to take pills some abhorre potions some must have powders some electuaries and upon some wee can scarce fasten any Physicke at all when often it standeth them on no lesse danger than their life Some againe can abide no sweet thing and to some againe nothing but sugar and sweet things will downe their silken throats c so that many times by reason of this nicety we cannot exhibit such fit and generous remedies as are fit to oppugne the malignity and contumacy of their disease And thus they verifie the Proverbiall saying The cat would faine fish eate but is loath her feet to wet And many lazy Christians would faine goe to Heaven if they might bee carried thither in their feather-bed or walke the broade way of their lusts and sinfull pleasures And yet if things succeed not to their owne or friends expectation how carefull and diligent soever the Physitian prove in his endeavour the Physitian oftentimes must beare the blame Besides all this the patients peevishnesse frowardnesse and testy discontents and often without a cause finding fault where none is breedeth still a new trouble to the Physitian that I say nothing of his extraordinary trouble many times and paines required at unseasonable seasons Besides his best endeavours are often crossed or at least suspended by womens and other ignorant persons unseasonable whisperings and idle suggestions often to the irrecoverable damage and hurt of the sicke patient and great griefe of the Physitian And many times when hee hath done his utmost indevour to prolong the patients life like a brave Captaine that never surrendereth his fort so long as there is any provision of munition and other necessaries left within yet at length the fatall period of his life being come and the oile of the lampe failing the Physitian is many times especially by the vulgar and most ignorant traduced or blamed either for some neglect or else all his actions construed in the worst sense and how generous a remedy soever whether phlebotomy or purgation c. how discreetly soever applied yet is often accounted the cause or occasion of the patients death And many times if the patient recover although under God the Physitians industrious paines hath proved the meanes of the patients recovery yet is he often partaker of the smallest share of the praise and commendation And it fareth often with the Physitian as it did sometimes

during the dog daies AS there is a fit and convenient time for every action under heaven saith the wise man so is not time to be neglected in this so waighty a businesse of evacuation by Phlebotomy where especially the life of man lieth at the stake The time is either generall or particular By the generall time we understand the foure seasons of the yeere by the particular the day and houre befitting such a businesse Among all our Physitians it is agreed upon that the Spring is the best and most seasonable time and next to that the Autumne but the Sommer by reason of excessive heat and the Winter by reason of cold are not esteemed so seasonable Againe in the particular times the morning is answerable to the Spring the noone tide to Sommer the afternoone to Autumne and the night to Winter Now in the use of Phlebotomy we consider the time after a double manner one of election another of necessity In election when it is in our power we are to make choice of the fitest time as wel generall as particular in necessity and cases of extremitie and coaction wee must take hold of that which offereth himselfe when we stand in most need Now Phlebotomy is used for a double end either to prevent sickenesse in the whole or to cure diseases in the sicke In prevention where we may have a free election we are to make choice of the Spring as the most temperate time and a day temperate neither too hot nor too cold and in particular the morning is the best and fittest an houre or two after rising the partie to be bled being fasting and having unburdened his body of the fecall excrements and concoction being fully finished Next to the Spring is Autumne in the which if any be to bleed the same cautions are to be observed In sicknes is the case not a like where we are not alwaies allowed this freedome of election Now all diseases are either acute or chronicall as we have said already In chronicall diseases wee are as neare as we can without the patients prejudice to pitch upon the best and most convenient time but in acute diseases the case standeth farre otherwise where we are often cast upon a coacted necessity Wherefore in burnning Fevers in Plurisies in Squinancies and other like diseases if strength permit we are not to deferre this remedy delay here breeding danger but with all speed either day or night at what soever houre not regarding any preparation of the body to goe about it By protracting of time strength is often overthrowne and therefore it will be best at the beginning and if in the first or second day wee find this be wanting we are not to adventure nor yet after divers daies over-past if it be not wanting to incite it But according to the Hippocraticall oracle it is best in the beginning of the disease to undertake such a worke and when the humors are now setled it is best to rest And this is chiefely to bee understood of such diseases as are without intermission In acute diseases with exacerbation whether they admit of remission or intermission we are to make choice of this time of greatest tranquillity And therefore in Fevers with remission we are to take that time as in those that intermit we are then to use this remedy whatsoever houre it be whether day or night for then nature is most at quiet and in regard of strength they then are best able to beare it But when in any inflammatiō or any extraordinary great paine without any Fever we are to use this remedy we are not to wait for any remission but having respect to the greatnes of the cause presently to set upon it and in time of greatest extremity to use this remedy to the end there may be procured a retraction of the humor the other parts transmitting thither both blood and spirits from the part affected Phlebotomy used onely for a generall evacuation from the whole body ought to bee administred in the beginning of the disease and therefore in putrid Fevers it is best to be used at the first according to Galens testimonie Revulsion is used in diseases proceeding from distillation and is best in the beginning in the impetuous fluxe of humors but derivation after revulsion or generall evacuation the affluxe of humors now ceasing By that which hath been said already the fittest and most convenient time for phlebotomy appeareth to be that which is most seasonable and by consequent both the heat of Sommer and the cold Winter-season is here excluded But here ariseth a great scruple in the mindes of the vulgar and ignorant people who are so fearefull of phlebotomy in some seasons especially during the Dog-daies howbeit if they well weigh the premisies it will evidently appeare that in all seasons we are to yeeld to necessitie But the vulgar seeme to have some reason on their side at least the authority of Hippocrates who hath left this upon record and the antients did carefully observe this rule and that as seemeth not without reason I answere it is true indeed we have it recorded by antiquity that during that time it is not so safe to adventure upon phlebotomy or purging and that by reason of the excessive heat of the Sunne in that season And indeed in hot countries this season is often very tedious to the body of man by reason of the dissolution of the spirits and by consequence debilitating the whole body yea during that season the sea it selfe suffering some alteration is more troubled and wines in the cellars during that season doe often shew themselves therewith affected by a new ebullition as it were boiling a fresh And therefore good reason had these antient fathers of Physicke to wish men during these excessive heats to refraine from the use of any great evacuation But let us see whether there be any specificall maligne influence descending upon the body phlebotomised during that season The vulgar yea and some of a more refined understanding are carried away with I know not what superstitious feare of this season be it hot or cold that be they or their friends in greatest extremity of danger by reason of sickenesse in the same yet shall one hardly many times perswade them to the use of any remedy And in this women as they are commonly most pragmaticall and readiest to controll the Physitians prescriptions shew themselves most crosse and opposite In the first place then true it is that this season proveth often the hottest time of the yeere the Sun then entring into the signe of Leo as they call it and the dog-starre then arising upon our horizon the heat is most commonly then increased But that any specificall malignity more than is procured by heat which is a generall cause and an active qualitie is conveied from this or any other starre

smelleth well and some others say it hath a mixt smell I will not call in question S. Augustines credit nor argue the case whether he might be deceived and being no Physitian have some other fruit given him and called by this name but with us sure I am there is no such smell to be found in those that grow in the hottest of our European countries nor such as I smelt in the middest of France nor could learn it of others and it is proper to all our narcoticke medicines to bee of an evill and loathsome smell although growing in a hot climat as we finde it in Opium as also in Tabacco although it be verified in this drug which Divines say of sinne Consuetudo peccandi tollit sensum peccati The custome of sinning taketh away the sense thereof So may I say of this customary use maketh people complaine of no annoyance at all being so inured to this filthy smell This soporiferous and narcoticke quality say our Chymists proceedeth from a narcoticke sulphur whereof this loathsome smell is an individuall assistant Galen also himselfe judgeth of the quality of the simples not only by the taste but also by the smell and such as are of a sweet and pleasant smell not only he but all other Physitians after him account to comfort and corroborate the spirits and principall parts which no man yet ever affirmed of any narcoticke nay nor yet of Tabacco it selfe although growing betwixt the Tropicks in Trinidad Is it then likely that the holy Ghost and Salomon his Pen-man and so well skilled in the nature and vertue of simples would ranke a venomous plant among so pleasant fruits or flowers But put the case that this simple growing in those hot Easterne countries did smell well and lost that loathsome and unpleasant smell incident to such simples which notwithstanding is not likely these hot countries commonly intending their properties and smell as appeareth in Tabbaco c. yet then why may not I with as good reason affirme that many of our ordinary fruits or flowers transplanted into Salomons pleasant garden might much improve their former properties and smells insomuch that they might farre surpasse this plant and fruit and so should be in small request where there were so many better I thinke now I have made it to the indifferent and unpartiall reader plainly appeare that there is small probability that this Mandrake mentioned in the Scripture is our Mandrake And put yet the case it had beene so yet wee see it produced not that effect in her that obtained this plant and she that parted from it had children in a short space But let us yet search a little further into this love-property attributed to it this property is only confined to helpe womens sterility by those who stand stiffeliest upon the point And yet our antient Physitians neither Dioscoride who reckoneth up all the severall properties thereof yea even a violent purging quality equalling if not exceeding Hellebore it selfe Galen nor Pliny make any mention of this property And whereas they make mention of some names tending to that purpose they only relate other mens opinions they never ascribing any such property unto it I will not indeed deny but it might have bin used by witches and Sorcerers in their love-potions as I may call them and so were bones of Frogs haires of a Wolfes taile Hippomanes and such other trash which no understanding man ever thought to be indued with any such quality by wicked people notwithstanding imploied for such purposes And this same late alleaged Author when he alleageth the supposed love quality in this simple groundeth his reason on the cooling quality of this simple fit saith he to coole the hot wombs of those Eastern women as he thinketh it to be incident to most women dwelling in hot countries But what if this simple be hot in quality I think then his building wil soone fall to the ground Galen himselfe joyneth heat with the cold quality in this simple And I thinke let but a judicious Physitian well consider of the purging quality and many other operations in this simple incident at least many of them to other narcoticks also will acknowledge a hot quality predominating in it and then this cooling effect is quite vanished away in smoake And put the case this were yet true then were it onely good for women of very hot wombes and not proper for ever barren woman and withall were not good for women of our cold Northerne climat who are not for the most part so hot wombed as there Easterne women Besides if by reason of its narcoticke and soporiferous quality by reason it provoketh to sleepe and consequently the better to reteine the seed of generation why may not opium henbane or hemlocke doe the like Or why should that plead such privilege above other simples of the same nature and quality Moreover if this plant had beene indued with any such vertue is it likely that Leah who had now for a long time beene debarred from bearing of children insomuch that for this cause she had given her maid to her husband to helpe out her number would so easily have parted with so effectuall a meanes to her sister especially betwixt whom and her selfe there was such emulation and debate To conclude then this point there is no probability that this Mandrake hath any such power or vertue as to make barren women fruitfull and yet farre lesse to procure love or make any love better howsoever it may be that in antient times it hath perhaps beene used as other poisons for this same purpose as I have said already And Pliny himselfe mocketh the Magicians who attribute strange vertues to herbes and divers simples and such as is impossible for any reasonable man to beleeve as namely to open any locke without resistance to drie up rivers and lakes to supply all wants and make enemies to flee But the same Pliny wisely replyeth Where were such herbs when the Romans obteined such victories of their enemies And I could make a many questions to this same purpose although I confesse it were but to small purpose But concerning these things as also concerning love love potions and the appendixes or things thereunto belonging thus much shall suffice for the present on the which I have somewhat the longer insisted by reason I perceived some erroneous opinions concerning this subject to be so ruveted in the mindes of many that it is a hard matter to root them out wherefore if I have trespassed upon the readers patience let this apologie plead for mee that my intention was to profit the publike the which I wish may likewise plead for any former trespasse of the same nature CHAP.
