Granula little Bubbles like pinns-heads or little drops of quick-silver descending down towards the swimm under the Crown into the body of the urine signifie griefs of the head as Rheum which distilling down into the inferiour parts of the body as to the Nose the Polypus c.

{non-Roman} {non-Roman} which is derived from {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} mingo to make water The second is the Pulse so termed à Pulsando which signifies to beat because it is alwayes in motion Pulsus est motus continuus non cessans saith Bartholinus quia continue generari debet vitalis spiritus lib. 2. cap 6. The Pulse then or venae pulsatiles pulse-veins are signalls to declare the state of the heart and arteries the Vrine of the Liver and veins and which of them is of most certaintie quaeritur Leaving therefore the Systole or contraction of the Pulse to the curious touch of the well-experienced Physician who like Galen could perceive by the pulse of a woman that she was in love with Pylades I shall describe the other it being an excrement that gives best and surest indication of the disease A.A. Kernells belonging to the kidneys or the receptacles of Melancholy blood B. The right Rein or Kidney C. The left Reine D. The Trunck of the hollow Vein descending E. The Trunck of the great Arterie descending F.F. The right Ureter or water-conduit G.G. The left Ureter H.H. The right spermatick vessell I.I. The left spermatick vessell K. A part of the bladder belonging to the Urine by which the vessells carrying the seed passe under the Abdomen into the yard L.L. The lowest part of the Abdomen Urine being an unprofitable excrement descendeth into the Vreters or water-conduits and from thence into the bladder where by the assistance of the muscle Sphincter which is musculus constrictivus shutting the neck of it it is at mans pleasure in part voyded but not all for some part thereof together with the bloud is distributed into every member of the body and voided afterwards and therefore urine is not onely made of that watry substance which is drawn from the Liver but also from the greater and lesser veins and from the whole body Vrina est serositas sanguinis in Renibus et Vesica Alstedius Encyclopaed lib. 7. Urine thus searching the whole body by an universall source and influence cannot but give light together with a generall knowledge of the state of the whole body but chiefly and more especially from the Stomach Gutts and Mesentery veins from the Liver and Vena cava from the Bladder with his muscles sinews and Yard For as it doth manifestly shew the state of the humors contained in the liver and greater Veins so also it doth reveale to the judgement of exact inspection the griefs and maladies residing in the smaller veins and substance of the whole body CHAP. II. Of obstruction and conversion of Urine and of the diseases that follow it ALthough urine be thus made concocted and separated as before is declared yet it suffers many impediments by obstruction and conversion from whence proceed many infirmities according to the diversities of the causes Obstructions are farthered by tumors grosse-humors stone gravell inflammations ulcers impostumes flesh-growing and sometimes through winde and weakenesse distempers fractures ruptures dislocations wounds in the water-conduits or vessells of urine Now as oppilations or stoppages are caused by some of these so according to the seate of the disease and part grieved for dolor ostendit locum and other signs consenting and concurring the grief may be found out by the part obstructed As obstruction of urine is the cause of many evils in the body so it being generated and made in the body and not voyded nor expelled but being converted into the head it causeth the Phrensie Melancholy Catarrhs impostumes weaknesse of the brain into the stomach vomiting gnawings and crudities into the throat Bronchocele or throat-dropsie into the belly the Dropsies Ascites Tympanites Anasarca with its species Hyposarca Sarcites and Leucophlegmatia which Horace long since hath truely described in lib. 2. Ode 2. Crescit indulgens sibi dirus Hydrops Nec sitim pellit nisi causa merbi Fugerit venis aquosus albo Corpore languor The self-indulgent dropsie grows Nor doth the palats thirst unlose Till man from veins the dolours cause And pallid watry faintness draws into the gutts iliaca passio with lasks and sometimes when it is mixed with wind the rowling of the gutts together or knitting of them which is the disease miserere mei Deus which is very seldome cured into the wombe menstruarum fluxus into the Cods ruptures and Hydrocela which is a disease that hath confluence to the stones with swelling and sorenesse into the joynts Sciatica and the joynt-sickness into the parts grieved weakness and impostumations Or if the parts formerly obstructed do exonerate themselves by urine then the head is distempered with catarrhs the throat with Angina squinancy hoarsenes and coughs the Lungs with inflammation heat wasting the solid parts of the body with Marasmodes consuming and melting feavers the spleen with Melancholy the Gall with cholerick fluxes broken veins with pissing of bloud the spermatick vessells with Gonorrhea and flux of seed the womb with terms suppressed and voyded by urine the Hemorrhoidall veins with the Hemorrhods the joynts with Arthritis or articularis morbus the joynt-sickness viz. Sciatica chiragra podagra and divers other parts of the body with evacuation criticall symptomaticall or artificiall for the parts and members being inflamed like Cupping-glasses draw humors unto them CHAP. III. A discourse of the Colours of Urine and of mixing them according to quantity number and weight NOw for the better finding out of each particular distemper the colour and contents of the Urine is to be considered For colour without which no man can judge or distinguish of Urines is defined to be a bright shining terminated in some object illustrated by light and by reason of its divers temperament doth offer a various shape to the sight or visible spirits of the eye which proceeds either from the humidness of the subject or from the light it self And because to describe every particular colour were to vse Politians words Sibyllae folia colligere a matter difficult and in a manner infinite I shall reduce them to their first grounds and write only of as many of them as are for my purpose Color saith Aristotle lib. de sensu sens est extremitas perspicui in corpore terminato Three things are required that colour may apeare 1 extremitas in corpore 2 pellucidum because in the dark no colour appeares 3 corpus definitum because on those bodies that are farr distant no colour is discerned at all The two extream Colours are white and black intermediate to these are puniceus purpure yellow green others that are mixed of them as followeth in order Of colours some are simple some are mixed Of simple colours there are two primarie viz. white and black out of which all the rest are made for simple colours are of such absolute perfection as that they need not the participation of any other colour to make them
