internal Medicaments are the Roots of Cuckoo-pint and Dragons of Briony Coloquintida Sowbread both Hellebores a Gal but chiefly of an Ox water Pepper and the Seed of Staves-Acre Helps for Delivery Those things that move the Terms do also help to deliver but beside them these do singularly yeeld help the Dung of a Hawk drank one dram in white Wine The Dung of a Falcon the same Dose drank in

Herb Motherwort the Pouder of them is given a whole spoonful or the Juyce in hot white Wine Fallopius holds it for a great secret to take one scruple of Borax of the shops in the Decoction of Featherfew or Savin Also the Travail is made the more easie if Women eat Snails in their meats some days before their Delivery Also a Turtle Rosted whose Belly is stuffed with Bay-berries Juniper berries and Cinnamon being eaten every other day before the time of Child-Birth But outwardly when the Throwes are upon them the Eagle-stone bound to the Thigh is a help so is the Jasper and the coral used the same way and the Load-stone held in the left hand Remedies to drive out the Secundine Those things that were now propounded to be taken inwardly to help Delivery do also help to drive forth the Secundine But particularly these are good the Decoction of Sage in white Wine the Root of the Bay's of Alexandria Seed of Hony-suckles the Seeds or Root of Sesely of Marcelles the Pouder of them is given to one dram in hot Wine or the Decoction of Sage also the Pouder of Bay-berries is effectual to one dram taken in white Wine or water or the Decoction of white Lillies Also this Pouder is

by rubbing them with the Leaves of Borrage of a Fig-Tree wild Cucumber and Briony also the internal use of Aloes helps but if these do not profit you must set on the Leeches Remedies to force out the dead Child Those things that expel the Secundine force out the dead Child also Especially vertue is ascribed to Dittany both in drink and perfume Also the milk of the first litter of a Bitch being drank is very good in particular Water Parsneps taken for a Pot-herb in meat The Juyce of Scordium drank to half an ounce with Saffron The fume of Pigeons dung of brimstone of the cast Skin of a Serpent Also we must not neglest in this case such things as tied to the Thigh do ease Child-Birth Amongst the approved remedies these two are extolled Take mineral Chrisocolla two scruples or Borax one dram Cinnamon and Saffron of each one scruple mingle them make a Pouder to be given in white Wine or the Decoction of Mugwort Also take Chrysocolla of the mines or Borax half a dram Dictamni one scruple Juyce of Savin half an ounce white Wine what is sufficient or if there be a Feaver take the Decoction of common maiden-hair or maiden-hair three ounces mingle them Remedies that quiet the Matter that is Carried with a wrong Motion Such things as are moved preternaturally are quieted by revulsion to the opposite part and those that repel from the part that receiveth and such as make a stop between the part that sends and the part that receiveth also by things that thicken the matter that runs and by such as bind up the passages by which the flux is conveied Those things intercept which are set down to prepare thin Choller and such as by an unctious quality do asswage the acrimony All those things that bind up the passages do repel also of which we shall speak a little afterwards and besides those all cold and moist things that by thickening intercept of which we spak before Those things make revulsion namely such as are called Rubificatives reckoned amongst those things that Evacuate insensibly also Vesicatories made of Cantharides in Cerats or Plaisters or of Crow-foot or the Roots of the lesser Crow-foot bruised alone and laid on for a Cataplasm The Form of a Cerate Take Whole Cantharides half an ounce Seeds of Ammeos three scruples and an half Rosin five drams Wax two drams Mingle them for a Cerate for four Vesicatories fit for a Body that is of ripe years for Children and softer bodies half so much is sufficient For a Plaister for four Vesicatories Take three or four drams of Cantharides for a harder or softer constitution of the Body Mustard four scruples Seeds of Ammeos one dram the sowrest Leaven one ounce and half the sharpest Vineger what is sufficient Make a Plaister The sharpest Vineger is Vineger of Squils and that which may be presently made of the Decoction of Garlick Wake-Robin or red Onions or the said Cantharides are bruised and made up with crums of new bread or with Figs then moisten the matter with the sharpest Vineger and make a Plaister Also a Bladder may be presently raysed by dropping on scalding Oyl or water but so that the matter may be sprinkled through a large hollow Cane least it should spread further than is fit or else the Oyl must be dropped on the part that is fenced about with a Circle of Wax or such like so large as you desire to make the Blister large Remedies that Root out the Cause that is offensive in the whole substance Those Bodies offend in substance and are Preternatural by the whole kind that stick in the wounded part as Worms Stones Poysons Corruption for these are proper such things as can draw them out kill the Worms break the stone Preservatives against Poysons and such as can remove Corruption Remedies that draw out These though they must hold proportion with the Bodies that are fastned in for which cause several remedies draw out several matters as the Load-Stone draweth Iron Amber draws Chaff and some are indifferent to draw out any things contained in Wounds namely Pimpernel Roots of Canes Root of round Aristolochia Dittany the upper Root of Sword-flag a Lizards Head Bee-Glew the Root of stinking Gladdon the middle rind of the Teil-Tree Bird-Lime al which are put into Plaisters either bruised alone or else are applyed with Wine to the wound Some do attribute a wonderful force to draw forth all things that are fastned in

of the Throat and the top of the sharp Artery which fals out very frequently is cured by those things that Purge the breast by Spitting which are propounded for Salt matter But if it proceed from sharp Biting matter that lightly Rakes the superficies it is taken away by such Medicaments that temper sharp Humors both by washing them away as also by suppling them with a tempering vertu of which we spake amongst the Remedies that alter the cause of the Disease Remedies of Diseases in faulty Magnitude Natural Magnitude is made faulty either by excess or defect when it is augmented beyond its proportion or els diminished The kinds of Magnitude diminished are reckoned to be Defect of Nourishment or Leanness of all the parts and Marasmus or a Consumption of the whole Body following a Hectick Feaver or wasting away for Leanness of those that recover after sharp Diseases scarse deserves the name of a Disease because it quickly goes away so soon as the Disease on which it depended is removed Of Magnitude increased which men call Tumors all the differences are taken from the cause which in general is four fold The first is a solid Body according to substance belonging to the soundness of the Body whence come grossness from overmuch fat Hypersarcosis from some excrescence of flesh Ruptures of the Bowels and the Caul when the Guts or the Caul fal down which also makes a Disease in scituation The second is a Humor or some thing like to a Humor whence comes that they call Phlegm●ne from Blood Oedema from Fleam Erysipelus from Choller Schirrus from Melancholy a kind whereof is Tophus and Struma Cancer from Black choler Carbuncle from burnt Blood and from a watery matter like to a Humor Hydrocephalus the Dropsie of the Abdomen and the Matrix The third is that which comes Preternaturally from the Humors as puffing up from wind The fourth is that which growes in the whole kind Preternaturally from a various and unspeakable corruption of the Humors whence comes properly an Impostume or little Swelling with a little Bag namely Meliceris from a matter like to Honey Steatoma from a fat matter like to Sewet and Atheroma from a matter like to Gruel A particular Consumption such as falls upon those parts that are held with a Palsie and Convulsions requires first such Remedies as can Purge out the foulness of the Body by the passages convenient then Nourishments that can make good Blood lastly attractives that draw Blood to the part and can stirr up the heat of it and strengthen it Gentle rubbings til the part wax red and Swel a little will perform all these Also Baths of sweet water something hot wherein Herbs are Boyled proper for the part to be used til the part Swell a little Or Fomentations and Wettings with water and Oyl Milk sweet Waters altered with Mallows Marsh-mallows and Herbs that respect that part Last of all the most prevalent Remedy is pication til the part wax red and swell and these things are to be done after concoction before any more meat be eaten In a Consumption of the Eyes there remains no place for pications or rubbings but only for Fomentations the best whereof are made with Milk a little Saffron or of the same Boyled with Mallows Violets Marsh-mallows and Fennel or with a sweet Apple brought to the form of a soft Cataplasm with a little Saffron A hot Marasmus without a Consumption which is curable is chiefly overcome with the use of Milk and Baths Womens Milk sucked out of the Breasts or Asses Milk or Goats Milk new milked drank with a little Honey or Sugar taking by degrees from three ounces to seven or eight ounces about five hours after the drinking of Milk a Bath of sweet Water is to be used which must be kept somthing hot til the time the sick come forth of it and then is he to stay a while til he is a little cold with it for the uniting of heat and retaining of Nourishment or presently after the Bath the Body must be gently rubbed with the Palm of the Hand wet with Oyl of Violets and sweet Almonds somthing cold If there be a Consumption the Bath must be let alone and the Body must be rubbed only before meat after the manner we now spake of and he must apply himself to Milk and he must use also such Remedies as concern the Ulcer of the Lungs If the use of Milk be forbidden by reason of the causes set down in the 5. Aph. 65. He must use instead thereof a Ptisan of Barley Some hold this Ptisan for a secret which is presently provided and must be taken twice a day Take Barley Meal six parts fine Sugar one part Place them bed upon bed in a Glased Earthen Pot and the first and last bed must be Sugar then making a Cover of Past put it into the Oven after the Bread is drawn forth And it will be baked sufficiently the third time or putting of it into the Oven For a Ptisan Take of this baked Meal two ounces Broth of wood Snails or Snails four ounces Mingle them But for an Ulcer of the Lungs in particular this is commended Take one dram of the Pouder of Yarrow dayly in Broth or some convenient Decoction Also a Cake of dried Folefoot taken dayly made with Butter and Sewet of a Hog Some prefer Sugar of Roses with Bole-Armoniack or some such Medicinal earth and the Blood-stone used for some months together above all other Remedies Gross Bodies are brought lean after fit Evacuation of the Body First with a thin diet and many hot and frequent rubbings of their Body then by the daily use of some attenuating and drying Remedies amongst which the most commended are one dram of Ash Keys in Broth with half an ounce of the best Vineger or one Spoonful of Vineger of Squills in a good quantity of Broth before meat some ascribe the same vertue to Oxymel of Squils or the Troches of Squils Also the Seed of Ameos or the Seed that is in Elder berries can do as much taken to half a dram drank in the Decoction of the Ash But the greatest force lieth in the Pouder of Vipers to dry the Body of which we spake amongst the Antidotes if half a dram of it be taken in Broth or Wine four hours before meat and so much the more if the Body be lustily exercised after the taking of it To this place belong all things that provoke sweat and Urin. Those Remedies take away excrescences of flesh be they from a Callous or flesh that are Remedies of Constipation of which we spake before A Hernia of the Caul can be taken away by no other means than by cutting which is ful of danger it can hardly be helped by streight Ligature But a Hernia of the Intestins is easily Glewed together in Children and Boys with outward use of astringents and fit Ligature But in people that are of years if it be Old it
