And thus I beginne the matter as followeth A Pleurise is a certain ap●s●umaciō bred in the Pellicles of the ribbes Lacertes betwene the saied ribbes and somtime in the place called Midriffe or Diaphragma And it is also to be noted that the breast is compact with xxiiij ribbes betwene the same ar certain Lacertes to binde close or drawe together also to sprede or delate For the attraccion of the aire to the Canill bones and breastes c. To expulse the superfluous matter contained within the Pellicles thin skin or Membrana whiche are within the ribbes In this place is bred a painfull dāgerous apostumacion with perill of life either in the lifte or right side creping with his venime vnto the Furculer or Canill bones and breaste And also descendyng with painfull sorenes vnder the rim called the Diaphragma or Midriffe and this sicknes doe daily kill many menne women and children verie sodainly and bryng them quickly out of the wa●e from this world The common people whiche dooe not knowe how to cure it and call it a newe sickenes whiche haue been euer lackyng helpe by Gods ministers or meane of the P●isicion whō the almightie haue ordained for infirmitie where as one do escape by Gods prouidence or stregth of nature ij c. giue place to life for want of his singuler meane of cure by Medicene The same God be alwaies praised for his mer ▪ cie to vs for his blessing of knowledge the mother of medicen in the time of sicknes Note also that there be twoo kindes of Pleurisis thone called verae or the certain true Pleuriti The other mendosa or els nō verae the false or not the true Pleurisie there is no distin●c●ō betwene thē in their places or mēbers as some learned men do sa●e but of the matter contained It is also called the very Pleurisie whē it cometh of blood or mingled with blood and choler The false Pleurisi is when it cometh of flegme or of melancholie This ●ote apostumacion of the Pleurisie is not excepte his essence beyng and dolor be within the Pellicles and the o●her is without as emong the Lacertes or pellicles couering the ribbes nere the short ribbes which are vnder the Midrif Furder it is to be well noted that euery pleurisie haue three sondrie causes 1. Primatiue 2. Antecedent 3. Coniuncte THe cause Primatiue cometh many waies as God comfort them a greate nomber of poore people for want of clere Ale Bere or Wine are forced to drinke colde water whereas a greate nomber of monstrous drunkardes haue aboūdance of all drinks vntil drinke haue consumed theim and neuer sease in consumyng drinke Also through eatyng of vnripe fructes herbes or rotten mutten or taking either to moche sodain heat or colde in and after trauaile labour or plaie vsed immoderatly out of order wātyng wittie foresight or prouidēce to foresee this great perill distemperyng the bodie and procuring the moste daungerous paine or sicknes To this Primatiue cause maie bee ioyned grosnesse of the aire the tyme of the yere and the natures of the Winde As the Prince or spryng of Phisicke saieth Aphori 33. lib. 3.

When the North winde bloweth a long time together then it bréedeth Cough Collikes and Pleurises And also it destroieth many women causyng them to bryng forthe abortiues and vntymely fruictes before their maturitée or ripenesse and them selues dye before age doe preuente them or youthfull yeres forsake them Therefore lette all pleople take heede of extremitées and vse moderate meane in labour erercise eatyng and drinkyng And obserue the tyme of the yere region complexion qualitées and age therefore bothe menne and women must giue none occasion thorowe abuse of them selues to bee hurtfull to them selues As to take great cold after sweating labour wrestling daunsing c. Or to drinke colde water in the tyme of heate or lye againste the grounde in the gardens or fieldes c. ¶ Cause Antecedent WHen these former euilles Primatiue haue made nature passiue and subiect to them with infectiō then it cometh to passe that replecion of humours procedeth against nature with aboundaunce and fulnesse Corruptyng the blood bothe vitall and nutrimentall obstructyng or stoppyng their vertue and course boilyng and adustyng the naturall vertues Sometyme it maie begin of the Primatiue as in drinkyng moche newe Wine whiche haue tartarū in it or soche dregges hurtyng the bodie Read Anicen de vino and what mischief cometh of euil Wine take experience of theim whiche are hurte by the same euill newe wine ¶ Cause Coniuncte WHen as the Primatiue haue begō the cause the Antecedēt take his effect y ● more venemous against nature working all thinges to the worse parte preparyng euen as the Hen sitting vpon her Egge Now cometh to the Coniuncte and bryng forthe the Chickin finish thapostumaciō in the Pellicles or skin in the ribbes Panicles and Lasartes then cometh the putrifaccion after it is placed and gathered together into a sore Note also that euery cough without the foresaied signes ioined to it is not the verie Pleurisie for then it would make a greate nomber afraied when

the Arabians would neuer let blood vntill the matter were firste ●●gested But in the meane tyme because the blood whiche still doe remain within the bodie doe tourne into the worse part increasyng the flegmon apostumacion ouerchargyng nature not onely through putrifaccion destroieth the bloode nutramentalle in the vaines But also the pure blood vitall in the harte and arteres that finallie the whole hermonie and partes of the bodie shall sone bee dissolued and ●●urne to duste And why For because blood is not lette forthe in duetyme so aboūding And furder in the beginning of this great heate the bodie is stronger and the blood thimier and then the blood being letten forthe shall quenche the heate and burnyng preuent that euill that might insue by the tyme of continuaunce Percase one be letten blood on the contrary or oposit part as whē the dolor is on the left side to let blood on the right side doe this help ye forsoth saith a great sort the strōger is bounde by the Lawe of Nature to help the weaker emong men whiche are seueral bodies Moche more wil eche mēber and part within the body help eche other as the whole hand or legge will help the wounded hand or legge draw from the weaker part to the stronger to help it in daūger with many mo reasons whiche I do leaue to a lege Bicause I wil neither seme to be arrogante nor repugnaunt against wisemen in this poinete but according to my poore talante will write thinges to profite truly with plainesse the cōmmon wealth withall and to eschue idlenes of tyme. And finallie to gratifie my frendes For whose sake I will go furder to seke for poore peoples health to enlarge this booke if it shall please God And now concernyng blood lettyng that worthie present helpe in a Pleurisie wherof hetherto I haue spokē Whereas as many wise●e● with Dialectical argumētes Logically can reason pro contra in this matter But to the very matter in this poinete I will begin with nature secondly reason thirdly aucthoritée to proue to be letten blood on the same side whereas y ● pain is placed First nature wil not hurt her self but nourishe comfort make strōg and defende her self As example no naturall man will poison hymself to pleasure an other man withall no reason can proue it good nor aucthoritee confirme the same desperate parte to be honeste Euen so within the bodie to drawe the venemous corrupted vlcerate poison placed in the lefte side with festred Melancholy into the right side beyng cleane féelyng no prickyng it is nothyng but to mingle all the poison together And whereas the strō ger side was well and cleane to defende death and helpe the parte beyng weake not by attracciō or drawing but by strōg force of nature to expulse the venim and put it forthe by S●nius matter Nowe it is become captiuate taken and destroyed and no more can helpe or e●tinguishe the ●●dente or hotte sore or Apostuma●ion of the Pleuriti on the contrary parte then if Poles Churche when God did sende fire from heauen the Weste ende beyng of a fire might haue been the cause to haue quenched the South ende whiche first began after the steeple was burned No good reason would proue this true but rather to haue begun with the firste cause matter and place to haue quenched the fire where fire was firste and not to haue drawen fire frō ende to ende For fire of his owne nature if he be suffered will bee a cruell conquerour and an euill maister but it is a very good seruaunt if it be kept in obedience Euen so take example of hot Biles and burnyng Phlegmons placed in the lefte side or so of the contrarie side but beginne at the nexte vaine as the Interne or Liuer vaine on thesame side infected or sore and there the foule bloode with euill matter will eftesones come foorthe and health will folowe by Gods grace But on the whole side good blood will goe awaie whiche is the chief frende to nature and then nothyng is left in the common wealth of the bodie but a moste cruell enemie to life euen Sa●uus stinkyng and venime poison This is an euill chaunge to expulse a verie frende and retaine a dedlie enemie and this shal suffice ath tis presente whiche is not repugnaunte to nature or rea●on And for aucthoritée in Phisicke who euer excelled the spryng and moste famous fountaine of Phisicke Hyppocrates that worthie man whom in this po●●cte we muste followe As who so haue the Pleuriti he doe commaunde to open the vaine called the inward or liuer vain on the same side and this manne was the moste graue aucthour And nert and beste after him came Galen whiche saieth when flegmon is drawen towardes the liuer c. Then opē the liuor vaine for all the vaines haue societae and beyng with the same He speaketh of the inward vain because it is nere to the place affected or sore and this shall suffice for the place of the bodie whereas blood shalbe let And now doe followe fower intencions good to bee obserued in this case 1. Replecion of the bodie 2. The matter corrupted 3. Where the paine is as harte and hedde 4. Retencion of blood in any other place REpletion without purgacion doe bryng matter to corrupcion The remedie shall followe repletion and corrupcion are causes to paine and medicene accordingly shall helpe the same paine Retention is when any haue the Pleurisie as men whiche haue the runnyng of the Emorodes by custome and a● stopped and at that time is smitten with a pleuriti Or a womā being stopped of her menstruall sickenes then what vain shalbe opened Onely the Saphenae vain and wheras these ●● signes as Haemorrhoida lis aut menstrualis in ●●liere non occurrunt Then in the Pl●●risy lette blood in the Interne or liuer vaine as I haue said euen vntill the ●oule bloode dooe passe awaie and the cleane blood appereth and not to slepe for fower or fiue howers after And if in blood lettyng swonyng do come called Lipothimia whiche is easier and is not vtterly depriued of sēces as Syncope is whiche is the image of death it is no euill matter in this returne of good blood and parting frō euill blood But although Galen doe bid that old men and children should not be letten blood the one for the tendernes and youth to weake the bodie whiche is but yet verie feble and bloode the chief staie to life c. And the other cold old and declining towardes the ende hauyng nothyng to help but blood which is warme and moist of tempera●ent ▪ Yet in this cause of the Pleuriti the aged is preserued and the children helped daiely experiēce doe proue the same Doe not blood by the inst●●●tion of nature in soche hot●● causee breake for the at childrens ●ostrels to saue the life Doe not nature here help her self Why then
