Now it followes to speake of each of these in order and first of cold tasts Acerbe taste the 1 Definition it is a harsh taste as in unripe fruits betweene bitter and sowrish being yet all raw 2 Kinds vary according to the 1 temperature 2 substance 3 Difference it is 1 dryer than Austere 2 colder 3 grosser 4 earthier 5 lesse moister 6 much lesse moist then Acide 4 Temperature it is 1 notably cooling and drying 2 of cold grosse and earthy substance being yet all raw and vnripe 5 Effects it is 1 condensative i. to 1 thicken 2 harden 3 congeale 2 refreshing 3 stopping 4 restraining 5 repelling 6 binds chiefly in the superficiall parts 7 exasperates 6 Some is as the taste of 1 Granat peeles 2 Galls 3 Tan or Oke barke 4 Sumach 5 Cypresse Nuts c. 7 Some performe as are said in Austere farre more powerfully being absolutely 1 earthy Not partaking of watry moisture 2 cold 3 dry Note that fruits Acerbe before they be ripe having accession of heat turne sweet as Chestnuts doe Of the taste Austere the second cold taste Austere the 1 Definition it is much Acerbe but milder not so harsh 2 Kinds are according to the 1 temperature 2 substance 3 Differences 1 It 1 Increaseth a degree in concoction more towards maturity then Acerbe 2 Consists in a medium 1 Not so 1 dry as Acerbe 2 moist as Acide 2 Only by heat and moysture either by 1 Aire 2 Water 3 Moisture only 3 Having accession of moisture only and that more grosse of Acerbe and so causeth Austere 2 Both Austere and Acerbe are in like degree cold but austere is the moister 3 It gets sometimes 1 more 1 heat alone 1 airy and passeth 1 sweet taste 2 Oily 2 watry 2 moisture alone and that either 2 Both together are joyned 4 If the cold remayning in fruits a subtle humiditie grow it causeth taste Acide 5 If it have a watrish moysture and fit heat it turnes either to 1 sweet taste if the moysture growing with heat be Oily 2 Oily 4 Temperature 1 Its 1 cold and dry but not so much as Acerbe 2 Neere in 1 temperature to acerbe but lesse drying 2 effect sappy bodies acerbe become sweet by the interposed degree of 1 Austere as they get a divers increase in heate moisture either 1 conjunctly 2 seperately 2 Acide 3 Oilinesse 5 Effects are as they be 1 cold they expell fluxes 2 dry and earthy 1 they doe 1 condense 2 thicken 3 stop 4 straighten the passages 5 restraine 6 conglutinate 7 cicatrize 2 such are raw unripe fruits 6 Some consist in a meane i. a more earthy body as it is apparent in 1 Grapes unripe 2 Sarvices 7 Some is changed 1 with further concoction of heate from Acerbe 3 Gooseberies 4 Crabs all fruits 2 Example 1 Acerbe fruit i. unripe by 1 heat only augmented become sweet 2 cold being grosse of acerbe turne austere 2 Cold in fruits augmented there retained is turned into Acide 3 Heat and moisture augment together if 1 ayrie they passe to 1 Oily taste 2 sweet 2 watry Of Acide the third and last cold tast Acide the 1 Definition it is a sowre tast as is that of Vineger Verjuce Aligere Sowre juces c. 2 Kinds are according to the 1 temperature 2 substance 3 Differences are 1 According to the kinds 2 More subtle then any of the two former tasts 3 The subtiller the more 1 piercing or penetrating 2 It divides almost as powerfully as the Acride 4 The 1 thicker in substance The duller in

Things against nature are generally 3. i. the 1 disease being of three sorts i. intempary of the similar parts in 1 quātity being eyther too 1 much 2 little 2 quality being either too 1 hot 2 cold 3 dry 4 moist 2 evill confirmation this hurts organicks in 1 figure 2 number 3 magnitude 4 situation 3 solution of unitie in both 1 simple and organick parts 2 Cause being three i. 1 primative i. 1 outwards as 1 wounds 2 contusions 3 fractures 4 dislocations c. 2 or by some outward hurt or meanes 2 Antecedent i. of evill humors c. being either 1 hereditaries i. bred in the mothers womb by some infection c. from the parents or weaknesse or ill forme of some part or member 2 after the birth by 1 evil dyet disorder c 2 accident or abuse c. 3 Conjunct which appeareth after the collection of the matter offensive in some part or member never else is ever present in the body or part offended 3 Accidents or symptomes 1 are called Insulsum i. a bragge or reproach of the whole body or part saith Jerimeus Thriverius 2 doe follow the disease as the shadow doth the body 3 doe offend 3 waies wherein the actiō is either 1 abolished 1 hurting the quality either by vehement 1 heat 2 cold 2 any accident or cause 2 changing 1 the natural heat into inflāmation 2 scabs into lepra c. 2 diminished 3 depraved or wholly lost Of the
fourth part called Semotica i. the judging part or judiciall part i. the Prognosticke part This fourth part how to judge of diseases 1 What 1 they be 1 hot 2 cold 3 simple 4 compound 5 infectious or not acute or coronicke 2 nature they be of either 3 danger or none like to follow 4 cure 5 time of cure long or short 6 the cause is and to prove that it is either 1 to be cured and by what meanes 2 not to bee cured and the reason why 7 medicines in quality operation are fit to be used 2 whose judgements are taken generally of foure things i. of the 1 Disease it selfe 2 Nature of the part 3 Symptomes or accidents 4 Excrements voyded by nature Note that these foure parts aforesaid are the contemplative parts of this thrice worthy faculty of curing which ought to be first exactly knowne of any professor herein before hee enter into the practicke part for upon these foure pillars was this worthy art built and is as necessary to the Artist as the head to the body for as the body that hath all other members and wanteth the head can doe nothing for want of knowledge so it is with the Artist that wanteth these foure Theoricke parts which in him are required for he is ever ready to mayme kill or spoyle his unfortunate Patient that enters under his hands sooner than to help or cure him for lacke of the knowledge of these foure parts afore mentioned Of the Therapeuticke i. the practicke part being the second generall part of Chirurgery of some called the fifth or curatiue part 2 Part Theraputica or Practica i. practise 1 sheweth the 1 method of curing diseases 2 manner or way 2 is triple that is 1 dyet i. the right use of the 6 things not naturall 2 Pharmacopia i. the use of medicine eyther 1 inwards 2 outwards 3 manuall operation i. hand working Note ever where one of these three will serve use no other All operations agreeable to the rules of the Theoricke part aforesaid which the skilfull Artist must follow effectually in his practise These unfortunate people that seeke to the unskilfull for cure of their infirmities may wel be compared to a foolish man who having a garment to make will not put it to a Taylor to do it but to a Smith or a Carpenter to make it and though it be not his profession yet peradventure for lucre of gaine he will undertake to doe it but how well every man of judgement may conjecture but now commonly most people in these our dayes seeme to have more care of making their garments than the cure of their maladies To make a garment they will looke out the best workman but to cure their infirmities though it stand on life or limme to be lost they as soone chuse a sillie woman or an ignorant fellow chiefly if they have gotten a little applause of the vulgar before the learned and skilfull Artist and why because those idle brained wretches that neither feare the wrath of God nor make conscience of their waies will not onely adventure but make sure promises to cure any that they take in hand though it be unpossihle to be cured by the art or skill of man for how can they foreshew the danger that know it not but to get money and some thinking to get praise of others for their worke will undertake any cure so bold and impudent are they yet neither know the disease nor any perfect way to cure it but as the blinde man shot the Crow but the more unwise those that employ them as woful experience daily sheweth too much and were perfect knowledge herein gotten so lightly as these Ignorants seeme then vainly were all those great volumes made and so great study employed thereon The end of this worthy art or faculty promise no more than you may with a good conscience performe and consider 1 That health lyeth not in thy hands to give therefore promise and performe onely thy painefull diligence and industry 2 There belongeth to every cure generally these foure things i. the 1 Determination of God 2 Good industry and skill of the Artist 3 Honest act of the Apothecarie 4 Obedience and good usage of the Patient 3 Of these foure parts abovesaid there is but one in thy hands to use or two at the most 4 The end of this worthy art is eyther to 1 preserve so farre forth as art and nature may afford 2 cure Foure speciall things to be considered of every man that will practise this famous worthy art of medicine These are the foure things to consider i. 1 First let your honest manners be equall to your excellent knowledge therefore be 1 faithfull to your diseased Patient 2 true 3 trusty 4 honest of life and conversation 5 sober 6 comfortable in words 7 not deceiveable in deeds 8 ever serving of God love and pray unto him daily for his grace and assistance and consider the end wherefore thou art called to use this worthy faculty it is not onely for thine own gaine as too too many do now abuse it but you ought with all diligence to search out the secrets of nature and endeavour chiefly hereby to stir up Gods glory shewing his great goodnesse towards us by comforting and curing the sore sicke and diseased people 2 Before you take charge foresee these six things i. whether it be 1 honest before God and man 2 profitable to the Patient 3 easie to be done and the reasons how and why it may or may not bee done 4 hard 5 possible 6 impossible 3 to admonish and urge the Patient to observe the three conditions of a Patient i. to 1 hope with assurance 2 obey with diligence 3 endure with patience consider also that medicine was not ordained for disorderly persons saith Hippocrates 4 There be three causes why you should refuse the cure i. where the 1 disease is uncurable by its own nature or the party so weak that he cannot endure fit remedies 2 cure of one disease causeth a worse 3 Patient is disobedient and wil not observe fit order in all things as is requisite for the cure for medicine saith Hyppocrates in his Aphorisme was not ordained for disorderly and disobedient persons Briefe instructions for the Artist to consider being called to a Patient both generally and particularly First when thou seest the Patient consider well 1 generally two things i. what is 1 done 2 to be done 2 particularly these eight things i. to know perfectly the 1 disease whether it be eyther a 1 tumour against nature 2 wound 3 ulcer 4 fracture 5 dislocation c. 2 kinde i. whether 1 simple 2 compound 3 Differences wherein they differ the one from the other 4 causes i. whether 1 primitive 2 antecedent 3 conjunct 5 Signes 1 generall 2 particular 6 Prognostication what is like to follow i. 7 Accidents that follow the disease as the shadow doth the body 8 cure in which consider the

All the Applicative Medicines which the Chyrurgion useth their operations are generally but eleven as followeth These are those eleven as 1 Anodines to appease paine are of three sorts done either by 1 Attractives 2 Evacuatives 3 Narcotticks 3 Repercussives be three sorts done either with things either by 1 cold and moist 2 cold and dry 3 hot and astringent to corroborate 3 Resolutives are of two sorts i. 1 Rarificatives 2 Disgestives 4 Mollificatives done by strong heat and little 1 Drynesse 2 Moisture 5 Attractives three sorts done either 1 elementall quality i. heat and thin substance 2 hidden propertie as Purges worke 3 accident 6 Suppuratives i. two sorts done by 1 things hot and moist 2 accident 7 Mundificatives they 1 separate out excrements by hidden property 2 draw 3 scoure 8 Incarnatives scowre and dry moderately to increase flesh 9 Conglutinatives be 1 dryer then 1 Incarnatives 2 Cicatrizatives 2 lesse dry 10 Cicatrizatives be hot and astringent some 1 proper by nature 2 Artificiall 11 Corosives are of three sorts i. 1 Vesicatories 2 Causticks or â—uptories 3 Corosives More of all these shall follow in order to shew more at large particularly Of Anodines to appease paines These be generally of two sorts i. 1 Proper and are all that contrary the cause of pain which is either 1 distemper of 1 heat for heat or cold cause sharpe pains cause sodain change 2 cold 3 dry do cause mean pains 4 moist cause little dolour 2 solution of unitie 2 all that 1 open of matter either thick viscous windy vaporous sharpe cold c. 2 purge 3 rarifie disburthen nature 4 disgest 5 attenuate 6 evacuate 3 done so that it exceed not above one degree of temperature of the distemper that causeth the pain in either 1 heat doe all S.

Herein consider the 1 cause of pain also consider some Medicines remove the cause paine and not the cause neither 1 cause but stupifie 2 paine 2 paine it selfe 3 part pained Note intolerable pains by 1 inflammation are sooner mitigated by 1 bleeding then by other 1 Anodines 2 Narcotticks 2 purging 3 scarifying the part Dolorsit medicina doloris 2 gaÌ„grena Of Repercussives Repercussiues bee generally of 2 sorts either by 2 Nature being also of two sorts either 1 watry cold and moist without any astriction and 1 therefore weak as 1 Purslane 2 Lettice 3 Melons 4 Housleeke 5 All Narcotticks c. 2 Doe expell and drive back by cold c. 2 Earthy and astringent of which some be 1 cold 1 grosse 1 and of earthy parts 2 be truly Repercussives 2 and more effectuall mixt with 1 lenitive things 2 Vineger in cold grosse matter 2 Hot and corroborative and keepe backe Fluxes Simple 1 legiture 2 compression 3 rolling 1 bleeding opposite 2 friction 4 revultion by 5 ventoses c.

Moist 1 Moderate 1 Moisteth 2 Lubrifieth i. makes slippery 3 Mittigateth and sweetneth 4 Makes smooth 5 Glueth 2 Immoderate 1 stops or obstructeth 2 lifts up 3 breeds flatuous chiefly if the moisture be vaporous Drieth 1 Moderate 1 Dryeth 2 Rarifieth 3 Attenuateth 2 Immoderate 1 Binds 2 Contracts and shrinks 3 Causeth chaps or fissures 4 Causeth dry scales dandruffe furfuration c. The effects of these qualities be set in certaine order called degrees because they should be applyed by a certaine measure or proportion Example A disease hot in the second degree the Medicine must be cold in the like degree or little exceeding and for your better instruction consider That all simple Medicines be either hot cold dry or moyst either in the 1 beginning either of first degree second third fourth 2 middle 3 end The heat cold drith or moisture of the first degree is 1 obscure and insensible 2 manifest and apparent 3 vehement or violent 4 very immederate or excesse second third fourth Example Water only Warme is temperate 1 A little horter is hot in the first degree second third fourth 2 Manifestly hot 3 Vehemently hot Scalding hot Iudge the like of all other qualities as of cold drith and moysture How to deale in all diseases of every Complexion for either the disease and the coÌ„mplexion agree in quality or be contrary to each other Example These agree when both the complexion and the disease be either 1 Hot Such require more gentle and weake remedies or Medicine 2 Cold 3 Dry 4 Moyst Examples of these similies If the Complexion and the disease be both 1 hot there use things 1 Mild and least cooling is best 2 Meanly hot not extreme brings rest 3 Least moystning best please 4 That dâ—y least bring best ease 2 cold 3 dry and hard 4 moyst soft Remember still to countergard the Complexion Example of Contraries If the complexion the disease bee contrary as the complexion 1 hot with 1 cold disease the 1 hottest remedies or medicines are best it must surmount the temperature of the Complexion otherwise the Complexion it selfe would effect it 2 coldest 3 dryest 4 moistest 2 hot 3 Moist 4 dry 2 cold 3 dry hard 4 moyst and soft Observe due regard of all the above said things otherwise you hurt or destroy and not preserve or cure for want of the true considerations hereof great errours are daily committed as well in many Professors of Physick as in Surgery a very common fault in many fit to be redressed How to worke with contraries by accident and their effects Divers have shewed the 1 proper nature of Medicines drawne by their true effects 2 qualities 3 effects 4 operations Yet have they other operations which be 1 not by Elementall qualitie 2 done by accident Example Heat extern 1 cooleth the inner part by accident by opening the pores and so the heat evaporates out with the spirits and so diminisheth both appetite and disgestion 2 Invironing us moisteneth by accident by lubryfying or moistning scattering and spreading the humours congealed and setled with cold so is Venery thought to moisten Cold extern 1 heateth 1 the bodies inwards 1 not by it proper nature 2 by accident 2 by accident example of cold in Winter with outward cold closeth the pores le ts the expiration of vapours and issues of naturall heat and repels that heat to the inner parts 2 Doubleth the inward heat as they that handle snow feele after very great heat by like reason 3 furthers concoction 4 strengtheneth the appetite and for that cause the appetite is greater in Winter then in Summer 5 Dryes by accident by repelling the moist matter that was ready to flow downe to any part Example By immoderate use of repercussives by repelling matter 1 flegmatick They harden the matter collected turns it into Scirrnes hardnesse from a grosse viscous flegme 2 grosse 3 viscous Drinesse because they be qualities passive shew not their operations as heat and cold doe in their force Moistnesse Of the second faculty of Medicines it s that which ensueth the effect of the first elementall qualitie and is as followeth Heat doe 1 rarifie Cold do 1 stop 2 repell 3 confirme or shut up 4 congeale or thicken 5 heape together 6 restraine fluxes 2 attenuate 3 open 4 attract 5 mittigate 6 clense Moist doe 1 soften Drith do 1 harden 2 stiffen and withhold 2 relax These Medicines following have their names from their Effects We call those 1 anodines Which doe 1 appease or mittigate paine 2 repell or dry backe 3 resolve rarifie open the pores 4 mollifie soften hardnesse 5 draw out 6 turn tumors c. to pus or sanies 7 clense filthy sores c. 8 increase flesh in sores 9 glue together new wounds 10 cover a raw sore with skin 11 gnaw or eat the flesh 2 repercussives 3 resolutives 4 mollificatives 5 attractives 6 suppuratives 7 Mundificatives 8 Incarnatives 9 Conglutinatives 10 Cicatrizatives 11 Corosives Of the third facultie of Medicines These for the most part are drawne from first and second faculty sometimes by 1 joyning 2 separating 3 coupling two qualities together 4 on qualitie only of the first facultie proceeds the 1 anoidine proper of it selfe by a moderate heating faculty to ease paine 2 anodine to evacuate the matter causing paine 3
