Of cold water, in the cure of the gout, and green-wounds. Of wine-vineger, in the preservation from, and cure of the plague, and other pestilential diseases: as also in the prevention of the hydrophobia, or dread of water, caused by the biting of a mad dog. &c.

it_o be_v then_o a_o unseasonable_a time_n for_o purge_v and_o no_o marvel_n for_o while_o the_o weather_n be_v so_o extreme_a hot_a our_o body_n be_v too_o much_o dry_v and_o consequent_o the_o

and_o therefore_o the_o same_o hypocrates_n in_o another_o place_n insinuate_v whey_n that_o see_v purge_v medicine_n somtim_n cause_v the_o dysentery_n upon_o the_o very_a day_n of_o purge_v the_o

i_o advise_v my_o patient_n at_o what_o time_n of_o the_o year_n soever_o they_o chance_v to_o take_v physic_n upon_o the_o very_a day_n they_o take_v a_o purge_n especial_o if_o they_o have_v any_o gripe_n in_o their_o gut_n to_o drink_v a_o draught_n or_o two_o of_o whey_n that_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o may_v repel_v the_o acrimony_n whether_o of_o the_o humour_n or_o of_o the_o medicine_n which_o as_o it_o immediate_o cure_v the_o gripe_a diarrhoea_n and_o the_o dysentery_n itself_o so_o it_o be_v also_o a_o great_a preservative_n against_o they_o so_o that_o it_o evident_o appear_v from_o hence_o that_o whey_n have_v as_o well_o a_o cure_v preservative_n that_o whey_n be_v also_o a_o good_a preservative_n as_o a_o preserve_v faculty_n and_o certain_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n how_o much_o whey_n excel_v all_o other_o medicine_n in_o the_o cure_n of_o the_o gripe_a flux_n if_o it_o be_v take_v in_o a_o great_a quantity_n cold_a and_o at_o any_o time_n of_o the_o day_n or_o night_n either_o fast_v or_o at_o meat_n or_o after_o meat_n or_o late_o at_o night_n and_o especial_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o disease_n when_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v in_o the_o great_a quantity_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o dioscorides_n consider_v how_o agreeable_a to_o our_o constitution_n the_o nature_n of_o whey_n be_v though_o there_o be_v neither_o a_o gripe_a flux_n nor_o any_o other_o necessity_n yet_o prescribe_v the_o use_n thereof_o every_o spring_n for_o some_o time_n beginning_n at_o first_o with_o a_o pint_n and_o a_o half_a and_o this_o he_o do_v probable_o to_o allay_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o blood_n which_o at_o that_o time_n begin_v both_o to_o grow_v hot_a and_o to_o increase_v and_o withal_o to_o prevent_v those_o disease_n that_o be_v cause_v thence_o such_o as_o be_v the_o pleurisy_n quinsy_n and_o the_o like_a and_o hypocrates_n also_o himself_o in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr victus_fw-la ratione_fw-la in_o some_o disease_n prescribe_v no_o less_o than_o 12._o cotylae_n of_o boil_a ass_n milk_n which_o be_v very_o serous_a and_o in_o case_n the_o constitution_n of_o the_o patient_n will_v bear_v it_o he_o say_v that_o he_o may_v take_v 16._o cotylae_n and_o yet_o a_o cotyla_n contain_v 9_o ounce_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v also_o that_o from_o our_o very_a birth_n we_o be_v bring_v up_o with_o milk_n the_o

assent_v maintain_v that_o it_o be_v hot_a for_o i_o conceive_v that_o it_o be_v cold_a in_o some_o degree_n cleanse_v whey_n be_v cold_a and_o somewhat_o cleanse_v and_o withal_o something_o cleanse_v and_o i_o remember_v once_o when_o the_o humour_n be_v very_o acrimonious_a i_o prescribe_v my_o patient_n that_o be_v sick_a of_o a_o dysentery_n to_o take_v within_o the_o space_n of_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n eight_o cup_n of_o whey_n which_o within_o the_o say_a space_n of_o time_n as_o appear_v by_o exact_a observation_n he_o do_v with_o very_o good_a success_n and_o as_o

yet_o my_o rule_n be_v to_o prescribe_v a_o moderate_a quantity_n only_o of_o whey_n in_o this_o flux_n and_o those_o that_o have_v not_o any_o whey_n at_o present_a may_v make_v use_n of_o scimed_a milk_n which_o be_v make_v up_o of_o whey_n and_o cheese_n and_o that_o you_o may_v make_v a_o separation_n of_o they_o you_o must_v put_v some_o rennet_n into_o the_o milk_n while_o it_o be_v over_o the_o fire_n and_o so_o you_o make_v your_o whey_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o there_o be_v no_o great_a danger_n then_o from_o the_o delay_n the_o use_n hereof_o you_o be_v therefore_o to_o have_v no_o regard_n at_o all_o as_o appear_v by_o constant_a experience_n whether_o your_o patient_n be_v a_o woman_n that_o have_v her_o course_n upon_o she_o flux_n that_o no_o regard_n be_v to_o be_v have_v either_o to_o woman_n that_o have_v their_o course_n or_o be_v with_o child_n that_o the_o peccant_a humour_n be_v to_o be_v purge_v out_o the_o very_a first_o day_n of_o the_o flux_n or_o perhaps_o be_v great_a with_o child_n and_o therefore_o the_o very_a first_o day_n of_o the_o flux_n the_o peccant_a humour_n be_v not_o only_o by_o proper_a medicine_n to_o be_v purge_v out_o but_o the_o acrimony_n of_o it_o also_o be_v to_o be_v allay_v by_o drink_v a_o
blood_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a enough_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v in_o my_o french_a treatise_n that_o the_o pain_n in_o the_o gout_n be_v cause_v not_o by_o any_o cold_a defluxion_n of_o humour_n from_o the_o head_n but_o by_o a_o hot_a humour_n which_o be_v either_o a_o acrimonious_a or_o a_o salt_n one_o proceed_v from_o the_o liver_n and_o gather_v together_o in_o some_o neighbour_a part_n till_o such_o time_n as_o that_o nature_n drive_v it_o forth_o by_o the_o great_a vein_n into_o the_o capillary_n as_o into_o certain_a small_a channel_n by_o nature_n design_v for_o the_o convey_n of_o humour_n whence_o it_o be_v convey_v to_o the_o joint_n together_o with_o the_o aliment_n provide_v for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o common_o first_fw-mi of_o

which_o lie_v in_o those_o vein_n and_o foment_v the_o concomitant_a cause_n lie_v near_o unto_o it_o may_v be_v take_v away_o which_o be_v remove_v the_o pain_n be_v either_o assuage_v or_o altogether_o cease_v for_o i_o can_v believe_v that_o the_o concomitant_a cause_n lie_v in_o the_o very_a joint_n where_o the_o bone_n be_v not_o wrap_v about_o with_o any_o periostium_fw-la which_o be_v of_o most_o exquisite_a sense_n for_o so_o all_o motion_n must_v needs_o be_v painful_a but_o instead_o of_o that_o be_v environ_v with_o a_o gristle_n and_o join_v together_o with_o ligament_n that_o be_v void_a of_o all_o sense_n so_o that_o the_o pain_n must_v therefore_o necessary_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o neighbour_a part_n which_o be_v most_o sensible_a in_o the_o produce_v whereof_o see_v that_o this_o antecedent_n cause_o be_v also_o to_o be_v suppose_v to_o cooperate_v i_o be_o clear_o of_o opinion_n that_o without_o any_o let_v of_o blood_n either_o by_o way_n of_o revulsion_n or_o derivation_n we_o ought_v to_o fall_v immediate_o to_o the_o open_n of_o a_o vein_n upon_o the_o part_n itself_o unless_o the_o body_n be_v very_o plethorical_a or_o the_o patient_n young_a or_o the_o part_n lie_v convenient_a for_o revulsion_n which_o have_v former_o be_v infest_a with_o the_o same_o distemper_n do_v require_v the_o same_o for_o in_o other_o case_n you_o must_v be_v careful_a how_o you_o let_v blood_n both_o because_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o people_n ought_v to_o be_v let_v blood_n once_o or_o twice_o a_o year_n by_o way_n of_o prevention_n and_o especial_o in_o the_o aforesaid_a great_a toe_n or_o what_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n have_v usual_o be_v most_o afflict_v with_o this_o disease_n as_o also_o because_o that_o when_o it_o have_v seize_v upon_o several_a joint_n at_o once_o the_o violence_n of_o it_o seem_v to_o require_v the_o open_n of_o a_o vein_n where_o neither_o the_o age_n of_o the_o person_n nor_o any_o other_o impediment_n be_v against_o the_o same_o and_o see_v it_o be_v confess_v and_o assent_v to_o by_o all_o physician_n that_o contrary_n be_v cure_v by_o contrary_n why_o may_v i_o not_o lift_v up_o my_o voice_n and_o make_v use_n of_o my_o pen_n in_o the_o just_a praise_n of_o this_o our_o cold_a water_n especial_o see_v i_o be_o able_a to_o produce_v experience_n on_o my_o side_n who_o be_v the_o
