Emphysema is an Inflamation proceeding from an Effervencie or otherwise Emphyton Thermon is the innate heat or heat first sown in the Faetus from the Parents Seed which afterwards when Respiration is begun and the Faetus subsists of it self decays by degrees Both Philosophers and Physitians call this heat an innate and native Spirit and say that it consists of Three parts of a primogenial moisture an innate Spirit and Heat Whence Fernelius defines innate heat to be a primogenial moisture every way qualified with an innate spirit and heat but these toys of the Ancients are nothing to us for 't is certain that Heat belongs onely to new-born creatures Empirica Medicina quacking is Curing the Sick by guess without reason Acron Agrigentinus was the first Author of it who neglecting the reasons of things contented himself with bare Experience Quacks first flourished amongst the Aegyptians from this Trade came Mountebanks Emplastica the same with Emplattomena Emplastrum a Plaister is a Medicine applyed outwardly to the skin spread upon Linnen or Leather it is commonly made of Oyls or of those things which are of a like consistence with Oyl as Swines-grease Butter Slimie viscous extractions from Gums Roots c. also of Powders and Wax or those things which are of a like consistence with Wax as Rosin Pitch Gum c. the Mass whereof being yet hot is formed into a Cylindriacal Figure Emplattomena or Emplastica are Salves which so constipate and shut up the pores of the Body that Sulphureous Vapours cannot pass Empneumatosis is an alternate dilatation of the Chest whereby the Nitrous Air is continually breathed in and by the Wind-pipe and its Bladdery parts is communicated to the Blood to accend it but if we inspect the matter narrowly Inspiration does not seem to depend principally upon the Thorax but upon the contraction of the Membrane which covers the Wind-pipe the upper part of the Gullet and the Nostrils for take this away and you take away the motion of the Chest the Lungs and the Abdomen Emprosthotonos is the continual Contraction of the Muscles of the Neck towards the fore-parts Empyema properly so called is a Collection of Purulent Matter in the Cavity of the Thorax but largely taken signifies the same in the Abdomen too Empyreumata are little Feverish remains after a Crisis also that thick Viscous Matter which subsides to the bottom in Distilled Waters Emulgentia vasa are the Arteries and Veins which pass under the Reins Emulsio an Emulsion is a Medicine to be Drunk made of the Kernel of some Seeds infused in a convenient Liquor Emuncteria are Cavities into which something is emptied as the Pituitous Humour of the Brain into the Nostrils the yellow thickish Humour which we call Ear-wax into the Ears the Excrements into the Bowels the Urine into the Bladder c. Enarthrosis is joynting when the Cavitie that receives is deep and the head of the bone that 's inserted is Oblong as may be seen in the Hucclebone and its Cavitie in the principal Bone of that part of the Foot which immediatly succeeds the Leg with the Bone call'd Cymbiforme or like a Boat Enaemen is a Medicine which stops the Blood or which by binding cooling or drying closes the passages of the Vessels which were open stops or diminishes the fluidity and violent Motion of the Blood Enaeorema is that crass Substance which is suspended in the middle of Urines Encanthis is the Caruncula Lachrymalis or an Excrescence Swelling of the inner angles of the eye Encathisma the same with Insessus Encephalos is whotsoever is within the compass of the Scull as the Brain the Cerabellum the Oblongated Marrow c.

Ensisormis Cartilago is the lowest part of the Brest bone pointed like a Sword Entera are long Membraceous Winding-pipes annexed to the Mesenterie that they be not confounded with one another and they are six unless you reckon the Gullet the Stomach and the Bladder amongst the Intestines which I should not stand upon since they have the same substance and almost the same action the Gut Duodenum Jejunum Ileum Caecum Colon and the Rectum the Three uppermost are called small Guts the lower great Guts they are clothed with Four Tunics the outermost is Membranous which arises from the Paeritoneum The Second is Fibrous or Fleshie whose Exteriour Fibres are long the Interior round placed upon one another at Right Angles The Third is Nervous and contains the meetings of both Lacteal and Sanguinarie Vessels to which there inwardly adheres a Fourth Tunic which is Glandulons or rather of a pappie Substance whereby the Chyle is imbibed and communicated to the Milkie Veins The Intestines for the most part are about six times as long as the Man whose they are Some take Lactes to signifie the small Guts only others take them for fat Guts as particularly Persius Enterenchyta is a Clyster-pipe which is also called Siphon and Syringa Enterocele or Hernia Intestinalis is the fall of the Intestines especially of the Ileum through the Processes of the Peritoneum Dilated into the Groins or outer skin that covers the Cods Epacmastica is a Fever that continually grows stronger Epaphaeresis is an iterated Phlebotomie Epar see Hepar Eparmata are Tumors of the Glandules called Parotes behind the Ears Ephaebeum is the place from the Hypogastrium or lower part of the Abdomen to the Secret Parts Ephelscis is that Bloody substance which is brought up in spitting of Blood also a shell or crust that is brought over Ulcers Ephelis is a dewie Spot we call it a Freckle which proceeds most commonly from Sun burn they grow especially in Spring
the former is that which does not quite take away the Disease but enables the Patient to bear it better the latter is when the Disease becomes more violent and dangerous That Crises depend upon the Motion and Influence of the Moon and Stars and follow their Quadrate and opposite Aspects or their Conjunctions is false and frivolous for Critical Evacuations are determined only according to the store and turgescencie of Adust Matter which is Expelled the Body sooner or later according to the different Temperament of the Persons Affected whereupon depends the variety of Critical days Cristae are Excrescencies of Flesh growing about the Fundament from a preposterous use of Coition the Roots whereof are often Chapt and Cleft Christa Galli is the Third part of the Bone Ethmoides or the inner Process not much unlike the Comb of a Cock it arises betwixt the Olfactory Nerves and has the Extremity of the Third Cavity of the hard skin of the Brain called Dura meninx implanted in it Criterium the same that Crisis Crithe or Hordeolum is a little Oblong Push or Swelling which grows to the Eye-brows where the Hairs are so called from its resemblance to a Barly-corn Critici dies are those whereon there happens a sudden change of a Disease and they are Threefold some are called truly and perfectly Critical others Indices others Intercidentes The perfectly Critical Days are called Principes or Radicales because that the Crisis which happen on these days have all the marks of a perfect Crisis and these are the Seventh the Fourteenth and the Twenty-first Day Indices which are called also Contemplabiles and Internuncii are those which Indicate that the Crisis will be on the Seventh day and these are Three the Fourth the Eleventh and Seventeenth Day Intercidentes which are called also Intercalares irrepentes or provocatorii and those which fall betwixt the days called Principes Indices and they onely aim at an imperfect Crisis and are the Third the Fifth the Ninth the Thirteenth and the Nineteenth but all other Days which are neither Principes nor Indices nor Intercidentes are called Vacui and Medicinales and they are the Sixth the Eighth the Tenth the Twelfth the Sixteenth and the Eighteenth The computation of Critical Days is to be Instituted from that hour wherein the Patient first felt himself ill We may observe by the by That the computation of Critical Days in these Countries does not exactly correspond with Hypocrates his Accounts All these days depend upon the sooner or later Fermentation and Maturation of the Morbific Matter Critica Signa Critical Signs are such as are taken from a Crisis either towards Death or a Recovery and some of them are antecedent which either fore-tell the time of a Crisis or signifie a kind of Crisis Others are concomitant which appear at the same time with the Crisis And others Lastly are Subsequent which shew whether an imperfect Recovery be to be expected or there be fear of a Relapse Crotaphites are the Muscles Veins and Arteries about the Temples Sometimes Crotaphium is taken for a pain in the Head Crotaphium See in Crotaphites Crucibulum a Crucible is a Vessel for melting Minerals and Metals

from the thicker matter so that when ever this is done by means of Extraction the Balsamic part is called Essence by way of Eminence otherwise sometimes thickned juices are called Essences But 't is

Energetical and Active Particles of its Ingredients Essere Sora Sare they are little Pushes or Wheals something red and hard which quickly Infect the whole Body with a violent itching as if one were stung with Bees or Wasps or Flies or Nettles yet they vanish after a little time and leave the Skin as smooth and well-coloured as before This Disease differs from an Epinyctis in this that an Epinyctis Sweats out Matter but an Essere does not Esthiomenos is a Winding Inflamation that consumes the parts it proceeds from this that the little Pappie Substance of the Skin keeps a certain sharp Humour in it which for want of Perspiration corrupts and gnaws not onely the Skin with its Acrimonie but the parts which are under it Ethmoides is the Bone which resembles a Sieve placed above the inner part of the Nose and full of little holes to receive the Serous and Pituitous Humours from the soft Pappie Processes of the Brain Evacuatio Evacuation is either of the Blood when it abounds too
