Constriction of the pores known by the hardnesse compactness of the skin this ariseth from abundance of blood cold binding or drinesse It 's cured Cure first by bleeding if blood much offend Secondly by purging inciders premised if there be present plenty of crasse humors and after sweat cum vino oligophor valde diluto which is also excellent if from cold for it helps to open the passages and provokes sweat Thirdly by loosing with hot and moist temperate bathes moderate frictions quick washings if it proceed from cold III.

De Synocho Simplici IT 's a Fever without putrifaction or a Diary of many dayes arising from the inflammation of the spirits and thinner blood continuing without intermission 3 4 or more dayes and is called Inflativa because where the blood is heated the vessels are distended and there is felt the lassitude of the body Signes Signes urin is more thick and redder then usual pulse great full oft and quick lasinesse without exercise heavinesse of the head forehead and temples heat gentle moistnesse of the skin stretching of the members streightnesse of the breast and difficulty of breathing It s progresse is various yet equal hence it hath three differences i. e. Epacmastica which increaseth continually Paracmastica which so decreaseth and Homoronos or Acmastica which keeps the order or form Progn Progn It 's not difficult to be cured because it oftest assaults bodies more strong temperate or more hot or moist of a middle age and fleshy unlesse it passe to another Sometimes it vanisheth the fourth day or seventh with plentiful bleeding of the nose or sweat unlesse some notable error hath been committed by the sick physician or attendants and then it may passe to a putrid or some other very grievous disease Causes Causes are those stirring up a diary if they fall in a plethorick body indued with a thick habit or from the thinner blood heated by many hot vapors which are hindered by transpiration Cure Cure first open a vain by which the blood is cooled and an increase of vapours hindered this is rather to be done oft and little by repetition then once too plentifully wherein is danger although in some cases I have knowne it very successeful It may be done at any time unlesse the stomack be full of meat for then concoction is first to be expected letting a glister precede if the belly be not open or the intestines be filled with crudity it 's to be mollifying loosening Secondly evacuate the first region lest serous and bilious excrements increasing a putrid Feaver be produced These are good Tamarinds Rhubarb cream of Tartar and syrup of Roses solutive c. for they neither heat nor move too much Thirdly alter by appointing cooling potions plentiful drinking of cold water is now disliked as dangerous opening Emulsions and Julips being more safe the Julips are made of the waters of Succory Endive Sorrel Lettice c. with the syrupes of Succory Limons Pomegranate c. adding spirit of Vitriol or Sulphur or spirit of Salt a few drops If the waters be thought too crude boyle them gently with a little Spec.

phlegmy and the fit daily Burning Fevers signes are burning heat unsatiable thirst unlesse ough causing an afflux of humours from the neighbour-parts mitigate it a tossing of the body urin little sometimes crude and filthy sometimes thin very bilious and slimy other signes are set down before in Synochus Biliosa but observe the signes of a bastard burning Fever are more gentle then the former Febris Colliquans is known by a sudden Consumption of the body and hollowness of the eyes falling of the temples sharpnesse of the nose the dejections reddish fat tough stinking troubled bilious and frothy urin fat and oleous Febris Horrifica Assodes are known by what is to be set down in their description In Feb. Elodes the skin is continually wet with humours the heat to the touch is not very sharp if from maligne causes the urin differs little from healthful if the fat waste then its fatty if the flesh then there is like pulse in the urin or if the blood and humours waste then there 's a great deale of urin for many dayes to these are added strength much wasted pulse is small and slow If from great putrifaction the urin is thick and confused the pulse great soft and frequent Feb. Syncopalis hath its name from the Symptome and is known by oft swooning and fainting In Epialas there is heat and cold felt in the body at one and the same time Causes of all are as followeth A Synochus putrid is wont to be generated of those causes that produce a simple Synochus and so not only the constipation of the skin but the obstruction of the vessel from much blood Causes and tough crasse humours which hindering transpiration of the smoaky vapours putrifaction of the blood is generated Continua Tertiana drawes it's original from bilious blood putrified in the Cava this being produced from hot and dry or thin diet hunger hot and dry distemper of the liver c. Contin Quotid is produced from putrid phlegme in the Cava it oft happens to children and aged sometimes lasting sixty dayes seldome dissolved before twenty it extreamly weakens the stomach hence Cachexia Hydrops This Fever falls out seldome because phlegme doth not so easily putrifie Contin Quartan is caused from melancholick blood putrified in the branches of the Cava arising from its proper causes this happens most seldome The accidental differences of Fevers are taken from the complication of perverse Symptomes with the essentials Diff. and from thence are denominated Feb. Caus Colliquans Horrifica c. Feb. Caus is divided into true and bastard the first is from bile putrified in the greater veines near the heart in this the Symptomes are vehement the second is either from bile mixed with phlegme or salt phlegme putrified and here the symptomes are more gentle Hence it 's manifest that there is no other true burning Fever then a continual Tertian in which the matter is more sharp and abounding in the vessels near the heart whereas in a simple Continual Tertian the matter is lesse and in vessels more remote from the heart Again an exquisite burning Fever is of two sorts one which continues in one onely fit from the beginning to the end and this is above called Synochus Biliosa vel Ardens this is from bile putrified occupying the vessels most near the heart Causes the other containes many fits and is called Ardens Parodica In this the same matter is not so near the heart Feb. Colliquans is a kinde of a burning Fever for the greatnesse of the heat doth waste the fat flesh and substantial solid parts and sometimes the humours in the veines by insensible transpiration sweat urin or stoole it 's from a thin sharp and bilious matter which begins to burne vehemently and this is not seldome joyned with a maligne and pestilential quality Horrific Feb. in which horrour happens is caused from bile and phlegme or serosities mixt which move unequally and the horrour is stirred up either from bile and crude humours burnt putrified and moved or thin sharp and serous matter biting the sensible and nervous parts or lastly the crude humour shaking nature in vaine hence the heat being driven back to the centre the extreme parts are cold and the same presently issuing out heat Assodes this may be referred to the burning Fever in which the sick is cast down grieved with much unquietnesse bearing the disease grievously and that oft with loathing and vomiting being it ariseth from sharp bilious humours biting the mouth or tunicles of the stomach Elodes in this sweat is continually poured out and is caused from the great heat of the putrid and maligne matter dissolving the substance of the body Syncopalis is double the one is from humours thin and small yet venemous and corrupt and this is called Minuta the other is from abundance of crude humours and is called Humorosa which may be referred to pituitous fevers onely here the quantity of matter is more great with a weaknesse of the mouth of the stomach Epiala in this is felt heat and cold at the same time through the whole body They have two causes the one from a certaine glassy phlegme mixt with bitter choler diffused through the whole body from the choler is the sense of heat from the phlegme the sense of cold The other is from glassie phlegme alone but partly putrified part not That which is not putrified causeth cold the other heat and both at the same time it may also be generated when two intermitting Fevers fall out in one day or an intermitting and continual the heat of one Fever falling out with the cold of another There are other accidentall differences of Fevers which may be referred to symptomatical Those are named Symptomatical which arise from the putrifaction contained in any of the bowels as these following a Plurisie peripneumonia phrenitis angina inflammatio hepatis and other internal parts ulcers or abscesses Yet diligently observe that Fevers joyned with inflammation of the parts are sometime essential and not symptomatical the inflammation of those parts following for the body being full of corrupt blood and stuffed with ill humours a Fever is stirred up and so being in motion by nature is cast to the weakest part or that which is most fit to receive the humour whence the inflammation is produced after the Fever as may be observed in sick who oft have a Fever two or three dayes before a Plurisie appear and so many in the third or fourth day of a Fever fall into a Phrensy so for most part in Gouts before inflammation tumors and paine of the joynts appear there commonly precedes a Fever for one or two dayes before so the like may be said when an Erysipelas The disposition of the urin also shewes the same discovering manifest notes of putrifaction contained in the veines for in the beginning they appeare crude but after they shew signes of concoction then also the blood drawne is very corrupt which is not when

a threefold consideration especially First when healthful windes do not blow this is evident for if the aire be not difflated and moved with the winde it easily corrupts Secondly when it 's defiled with polluted putrid and stinking vapours and this is most powerful and most frequent those vapours arise from Marshes Lakes Pooles Bogs Fish-ponds or other watery places which are standing or stuffed with filthy matter or waters wherein is steep'd lime hemp or from stinking Sinkes Dunghils and narrow lanes that stink or from dead carcases unburied Or from caves and dens in which the aire hath been very long shut up le ts out a stinking putridness by Earth-quakes or by other accident Thirdly as the aire exceeds in its first quality or it be in a preposterous condition so it afflicts men this happens various wayes but especially when it exceeds too much in hotness moistnesse being the principle of corruption hence the South-winde continuing long hath beene a speciall cause of all pestilential Fevers if it exceed in drinesse it 's lesse hurtful yet an enemy to our nature therefore if it extraordinarily exceed it procures the like affect with the other especially if therewithal be joyned excessive hotnesse by this also is fruit corrupted If it exceed in coldnesse it procures pestilent Fevers by stopping the pores whence is procured greater putrefaction and more grievous venosity and hence these Fevers are more dangerous then in Summer because then the passages are more open through which that which is putrid easily exhales and preternatural afflux from the naturall is fitly breathed out The inequalities of the times are wont to be the cause of these Fevers viz. when it 's one while hot then cold now dry then moist succeeding one another oft interchanging and continuing long as when after long heat comes extreme cold suddenly or when after long raine extreme drynesse followeth so contrary or when the aire is preposterous as hot in winter and cold in summer for hence is procured great confusion of humours thence acquiring an ill condition fit to produce maligne Fevers especially in those bodies which before by reason of ill diet are plethorick cacochymick or have notable obstructions To these causes may be added the aire altered by the afflux of ill Planets as the ☌ of ♄ ♃ and ♂ in which are humane signes especially ♂ being Lord and by these diseases are procured from no other cause then by the change of the aire Now this change is either from a manifest quality i. e. when from their influence the aire is changed or from an occultnesse when from the hidden force of the starres without notable excesse in the first qualities The first is undubitable and consented to by al Philosophers that these inferiours are governed by the superiour constellations for as the alteration of the aire which happens quarterly ariseth from the annual motion of the Sunne so the great diversity of years one being very moist another very dry when as the Sunne holds the same course in the Zodiack every year it could not be unlesse it depended upon the various Aspects of the Stars though the other not so easily beleeved is proved by Astrologers To these may be added Eclipses Meteors especially Comets which seldome ever appear but epidemical and pestilent diseases and various mutations follow in the world as may appear by the effects of that which appeared November 17. 1610. to the truth of which all Europe may give an experimentall testimony The next cause is Aliment when by reason of a certaine ill diet morjapparatus is drawn on which is the cause sine qua non and the efficient internal of all maligne and pestilent Fevers for from ill and corrupt nourishment pestilential diseases arise especially if it happen from the foresaid constitutions of the aire Famine is another cause according to the proverb A Plague followes a Famine for then the poorer sort filling themselves with ill aliment thence followes an ill habit and especially if after penury comes suddenly plenty for then they too suddenly gorging themselves with much meat which cannot by reason of the weak heat of the parts be rightly concocted whence a maligne putridnesse is acquired Again when Aliments good in themselves acquire a putrid ill quality such as Wheat Barley when either too long kept or put into ill and noysome places so also flesh or when it dies of it self For drink these may cause viz. putrid and corrupt wine and water of corrupt and putrid and stinking Lakes also other corrupted liquor The last is the non-natural as excretion and retention motion and rest sleeping and waking and the passions of the minde and these may be looked upon onely as adjuvant causes disposing the body to receive maligne putrefaction First the retention of the Menses in women other accustomed evacuations in men as the Hemorrhoids Hemorrhagiae and Fluxes of the belly which in some happen by intervals if they fall out in Epidemical constitutions they usually produce maligne diseases for that which should be cast out as superfluous and burdensome to nature being retained easily beget putrefaction So too great evacuations either of blood or other humours much weakens the body diminisheth the native heat which receives more easily the pollution of the ill and pestilent aire Too much idlenesse and too much exercise also affects the first for want of free ventilation which causeth putrefaction the other opening the pores and dissolving the heat makes a more easie way to receive the seed of contagion Too much sleep heap up many excrements and fills the body with humidities which most easily putrefie But too much watching generates crudities more then the native heat is able to regulate whence many obstructions are caused and so transpiration is hindered which generate putrefaction Passions of the minde as vehemently to move the body and disturbe the humours greatly hasten on this evill especially fear and sorrow which calls the vital spirits inward whence the strength of the heart being much broken is lesse able to resist danger yea and the commotion of the humours in the veines and their vehement disturbance dejects the natural constitution and begets maligne putrefaction However it 's thought the Plague in armies is more raging not so much from the ill diet as the apprehension of the danger of death Prognosticks are uncertaine therfore no event to be assured till there be manifest conquest either of the disease or nature Prognos which is discernable either at the end of the state or the beginning of the declination therefore in the beginning and encrease judgement is to be suspended if the Pulse keeps equal and in order in these Fevers although the Fever appears great there is alwayes good hope but contrary if inordinate unequal and contracted dangerous especially if it hath appeared weak from the beginning yet these differences of Pulses are not so pernicious in maligne as in common Fevers for although the Pulse intermitting in young is deadly

symptomatical is when the same is in any particular part from which by the common vessels the putrid vapors are continually communicated to the heart such appears in Plurisies peripneumonias and inflammations of other internall parts Again the primary continuall are double for one extends from the beginning o the end without remission and is called Synochus or Continens but others have manifest fits and remission and are of three kinds according co the variety of their fits as a continuall Tertian Quotidian and Quartan Other differences tre given which are either accidentall or arising from the ormer all which shall briefly and severally be explained CHAP. I. De Febribus putridis AS continual Fevers are variously differenced so they might be distinctly handled but it 's needlesse being the same remedies may serve onely a little varying according to the degrees of the disease which depends rather upon the judgement and art of the Physician then necessity of peculiar precepts therefore they may be fitly put together what is necessary in respect of difference may be noted Before entry be made upon particulars receive these generals Causes First Putrid Fevers arise from hot vapours stirred up from putrid humours preternaturally heating the heart Secondly they invade cum horrore rigore no antecedent cause preceding yea no procatarctick unlesse the body be so disposed that it 's moved upon small occasion Heat from the beginning is not sharp propter suffocationem in the increase biting propter fuliginosum excrementum urin is crude or obscurely concocted pulse from the beginning small the systole more swift then the diastole because of the abundance of fuliginous vapours Thirdly the immediate cause is abundance of sharp biting putrid vapours that cannot be discussed The mediate is putrid humours either so in the ill natures thereof from ill aliments easily putrifying or from external as obstruction of the pores Fourthly Cure the cure in general is absolved first by opening a veine in continual Fevers on the third day in intermittings after Some gentle lenitive premised it 's to be repeated the same day if for evacuation after by intervals if for revulsion sake Secondly vomit with aqua benedict c. Thirdly purge where first use lenitives before preparing especially in continual and acute Fevers then stronger after preparing ye this may be omitted if the humors in primis viis are not mixt w th the blood in the veines or it be turned Fourthly sweat by medicament not too hot lest the Fever be increased yet those may be used in the beginning It 's to be repeated as oft as necessary V. Diet in which let meats of good juice and easie of concoction be used drink is either to be nutritive in great weaknesse or medicinal as decoct Hord. c. In continual at first give little afterward more copious in the very fit of intermitting none lest the separation and exclusion of the putrid humour be hindered But to return to particulars A continual primary Fever is begot of putrid humours conteined in the greater veines and arteries and differs according to the various nature of the humour A putrid Synochus ariseth from putrid blood in vena cava and although it may be distinguished into many fits yet it spends forth it self as in one lasting from the beginning to the end Of this there are three simple differences The first is when from the beginning to the end it endures equal in this through the whole disease there is the same quantity of putrifaction and this is called acmastica The second is cal●ed epacmastica in this the fit increaseth a little because there is more putrified then dissipated The third is called paracmastica in this the fit decreaseth here being lesse putrified then dissipated these have also their four times if they conclude in health yet various for acmastic hath a short beginning and increase but a longer state c. This is to be observed Time in putrid Fevers is doubly to be considered either as to the symptomes or as to concoction or crudity which two although they oft fall out in other Fevers yet not in Synochus Now a Synochus is twofold the one from putrid blood the other from putrid choler putrified in the greater vessels which is named according to the humour putrified for although the whole mass of humours contained in the veines obtaine the name of blood yet it 's to be considered in its four parts the more temperate thereof being called blood the hotter bile the more crude and cold phlegm and the more thick and faeculent melancholy Now if the more temperate part call'd blood do abound and putrifie it causeth Synochus sanguinea but if the bile then Synochus biliosa The signes Signes of the several continual Fevers are distinctly as followeth Synochus putrida sanguinea hath the same signes set down in a simple Synochus but more vehement as heat watching paine of the head thirst unquietnesse urin in the first two dayes is not much unlike healthful but afterward it 's red thick very confused and without sediment yet sometimes there 's abundance of red and thick sediment the pulse is great swift often unequal and inordinate the systole greater then the diastole if there be abundance of humours heaped up in the stomach in the beginning it provokes vomiting If Synochus Biliosa the urin is sharp fiery although in the beginning crude pulse swift and oft loathing cholerick vomiting and stooles thirst bitternesse of the mouth blacknesse and drynesse of the tongue delirium it oft falls out in summer in a dry and hot habit this is distinguished from a continual Tertian thus for this hath fits and that none A continual Tertian signes are the same with a burning onely by reason of the bile it 's more sharp every third day the cause of the remission is as well the distance of the place where the vapours are begot as also the lesse quantity thereof for the present vapours are dissipated before others come in the place A continual Qua●tanes signes are the heat is obtuse and not so sharp as from choler yet sharper then from phlegme the thirst is lesse then in a Tertian but more then in a Quotidian the pulse at beginning slow seldome languid after strong quick and very unequal the urin in the beginning thin after various the body dry and leane the colour yellow the temper cold and dry age declining and the time Autumne sometimes often spitting Quotidiana continua it 's more sharp towards the evening every day because of the motion of the phlegme the heat in the beginning is to the touch gentle after more sharp but unequal because of the crasse humours which are difficultly dissolved Urin in the beginning is white waterish and troubled after somewhat red and thick Pulse slow seldome and lesse then in other Fevers Thirst little sweat seldome unlesse salt phlegme be present the face is puft up loose and lividish time winter temper cold and moist excrements

obstruct the second are especially naughty aire and wandering Contagion those that dispose the body to the disease are either by nature or accident above measure moist weak loose fine dense and compact bodies More moist is to be dried and those more dry are to be kept so therefore the more moist are to shun a full diet and large drinking and all moist aliments as fruits fishes south-winde and fogs especially in the night idlenesse long sleeps especially at noon bathes and all other things which humect the body The weak body is to be restored with an analeptick and strengthening medicaments the fine and loose require the same with the moist but the dense and compact because they are disposed most of all to receive a pestilent Fever they are to be freed with more diligence from Plethora Cacochymia and obstructions which causes when they produce these Fevers in all bodies as the first causes they are perpetually to be removed Plethora calls for cutting a vein if nothing hinder As the time of the yeare being too hot or cold or the state of the aire pestilent then it 's to be forborn unlesse fulnesse ad vasa urgeth much or accustomed evacuations of blood as Haemorrhoid Menses Haemorrhag be supprest for blood being drawn the pestilent aire is more easily received and oppressing the actions makes the disease more hardly to be conquered even as in those which after drinking of poison make it more easily penetrable and more hardly cured Cacochymia requires purging proper to the humour offending fit Preparatives premised if necessary provided they be benigne mixing with them some things of a Bezoartick quality Obstructions being caused from a multitude of crosse and tough humours the multitude is to be evacuated crasse attenuated and tough clensed 1. By reason of external causes prevention is to be appointed as first the excesse of the aire is to be corrected i. e. the hotter to be cooled the more humid to be dried with fires both in publick wayes and private houses as much as may be The fires are to be made of juniper bayes nosemary and the like Secondly all causes are to be removed which may infect the aire Thirdly if it be infected it 's to be dissipated which is done by fires fumes and shooting great guns most effectual but if it be endued with a very pernicious quality it 's best to remove and those that are constrained to stay are to use frequently Antidotes and those no lesse quantity then are prescribed to cure The Cure is to be taken from the putrifaction and the maligne quality the Fever is to be opposed with cooling and humecting the putrifaction with evacuations and alterings and the maligne quality with Alexipharmacons Here blood is first to be drawn a glister premised for that 's most fit because of the greatnesse of the disease the hot distemper and putrifaction but if the fault lie in the quality of the blood it 's to be taken away with the greatest prudence for bleeding then may rather hurt then do good the vital faculty being thereby rather debilitated and death hastened therefore if the maligne quality be more then the putrifaction which may be knowen as before lesser quantity is to be drawn if the putrefaction infect more then more plenty may be taken and so more especially if maligne Fevers arise ex morboso apparatu and putrid humours kept within the veines and then bleeding may be reiterated twice or thrice until the heap of vicious humours contained in the veines be exonerated which humours rise in these Fevers but bleeding is to be maturely appointed in the beginning of the disease for it 's ill in the progresse the malignity then having diffused it self into the whole masse of blood and so it doth not only not help but also exceedingly debilitates nature so that many think it not good the fourth day being past especially when they begin to be common or cruel then it 's diligently to be observed who of the sick gaine benefit by bleeding for in some kinde of Synochus in which putrifaction is intense and malignity remisse bleeding diminisheth it but in others the nature whereof consists almost altogether in malignity bleeding is more pernicious This appears in a true plague in which many and most approved have had experience of that all the sick who have had a veine opened have died So also in pestilential Pleurisies it doth more hurt then good making the disease only more cruel yea and in other epidemical diseases endued with lesse malignity yet in which the malignity was almost altogether in vitio the same event hath happened as in that epidemical Catarrh which wandred through Europe in Anno 1580. in which scarce one of a thousand troubled with it died yet almost all who were let blood perished and that 's diligently to be observed that in the Cure of Carbuncles bleeding is to be used to fainting that so the boiling blood which is the cause of the Carbuncle may be drawn forth more abundantly But this is only in a simple Carbuncle without malignity in the other it 's not safe it 's controverted whether a veine is to be opened when exanthemata's or spots appear For answer some think it a hainous fault to draw blood then in that the humours are carried at that time from the Center to the Circumference which motion is altogether to be helped but by the opening a veine it 's altogether hindered and the blood drawn from the Circumference to the Centre for emptiness being made in the inward part the blood contained in the external parts doth run into the internal But notwithstanding this with the more sound Physicians this is not regarded but bleeding is prescribed if the spots appear in the beginning of the disease and in those dayes in which venae sectio ought to be performed in case sufficient hath not been drawn before it must be drawn moderately lest it procure danger For those that break forth in the beginning are not critical but symptomatical arising from a notable ebullition and heate of blood and maligne humours putrified and therefore cannot hinder natures motion which is none at that time nay if they appear in plethorick bodies having red and thick Vrine if a veine be not cut nature not being able to overcome so great a quantity of humours oft procures great hurt by their sudden rushings into some internal part and there causing a dangerous inflammation Yet this is cautiously to be performed lest the veines being emptied too much a retraction of the humours may succeed from the external to the internal parts therefore only the great plenitude thereof is to be removed And thus the expulsive motion of nature is helped to the superficies of the body as hath oft been observed in these where ven sect hath been warily performed within few houres after a safe Critical sweat hath followed and in this account although nature might be judged sufficient to overcome its enemy yet it 's

belly and an extension of the Hypochondriacal parts although outwardly they appear extenuated Cough difficulty of breathing with other faults of the lungs They are averse from lying on either side Those that belong to the vital influx are the veines and arteries are more slender then ordinary in the first affected part the pulse small and weak a moderate ligature cast about the elbow or knee doth not so soon swell and colour the part beneath and above it with blood as in sound children of the same age their appetite is moderate or unduly weak I have known it very much yet no Feaver present they are usually averse to sweet things they sometimes weigh heavier then other children of the same age and stature The next are signes of the differences of the Rickets The differences are taken 1. from the essence of the disease 2. causes and 3. conjoyn'd diseases These receive subdivisions Under the first is the secondary essence the magnitude and vehemency of the disease with the spirits and times the magnitude is the mildnesse or fiercenesse of it Under the vehemency is the slownesse and quicknesse of its motion For the times they are generally foure beginning increase state and declination in all which consider first the beginning is when it appeares to our understanding Secondly the increase and declination in long diseases may be subdivided as the increase may extend beyond the consistence if the progresse be to death and the declination is either legitimate i. e. when the sicknesse declines to health or spurious i. e. when the disease remitting falls into another kinde The last are taken from the spirits or strength of the childe for if the disease fall in upon a childe lesse strong it must needs be more dangerous then if on one strong The differences as to the causes are various as either it 's a natural affect or newly contracted The first is twofold viz. either properly i. e. when the sick is born actually affected with the disease or improperly i. e. when he is strongly disposed by his native principles to fall into it this difference is of more use to prevent then to cure The disease may be said to be newly contracted when not fomented by a naturall disposition and this is also twofold either succeeding some foregoing disease or it 's immediately produc'd by an erroneous use of the six non-naturals The difference by reason of other diseases conjoyned those most usually are Dropsy of the head faults of breeding teeth Asthma Phthisick Hectick a slow and erratick Feaver and the Ascites i. e. that Dropsy when water is got betwixt the flesh and skin these have a certaine dependence upon this disease and the causes of it those that have little or none at all are a Maligne Feaver French Pox Scurvy and struma●s The first sort of diseases may happen to children although the Rickets have not preceded yea they may be the cause to introduce it to deliver in signes answerable to these differences would be needlesse those belonging to the three first may be seen in the diagnosticks the fourth in the prognosticks Indeed those that belong to the times may be a little more considered especially those that pertain to the beginning that so its first rise may be known those that discover it new begun are those signes that are ascribed to the Animal action Also those that next adjoyne as the knots of the wrests greatnesse of the belly c. and these taken together do certainly discover the presence of the disease from the beginning These signes more intense with the extenuation of the parts denote the increase In the state they are more outragious c. as for those signes appertaining to the causes if it be a natural disease improperly so call'd there 's a weak and sickly constitution 2. diseases of one or both Parents as cold and moist distemper ill habit cachexy dropsy atrophy c. 2. Sloathfulnesse effeminacy idle life of the Parents 3. Errors of the mother during her being with childe 4. Debility of the new-born infant if it be not from hard labour with many others For signes of the disease newly and totally contracted after birth they are contrary to these as for the signes belonging to the severall conjoyned diseases they may be seen in their several cures elsewhere handled The essences of the disease consist in a cold and moist distemper want of inherent spirits their astonishment the softnesse loosenesse c. of the Tone of the parts the unequal distribution of the vital spirits unequal nutrition of the parts and imperfect distribution of the animal spirits these are essentials Causes Causes are either such as on the Parents part may produce it or those which happen to children after birth The causes on the parents parts are either such as relate to the generation of the seed whereof the Embryo consisteth Others have reference to the Embryo now conceived and yet in the womb The faults of the generation of the seed proceed either from the man or woman or from the whole body or parts only dedicated to generation That which depends on the whole body hath the strongest influence into the childe The fault of the seed is from a cold and moist distemper of the matter whereof the seed is generated which falls out in parents of a cold and moist constitution occasioned from ill juice a cachexia dropsey green sicknesse unsubdued before conception as also such effects as pollute the blood as scurvy French-pox and jaundice 2. The penury of natural spirits occasioned by extenuation of the bodies from vehement evacuations chronical diseases wasting the strength not repair'd before coition imperfect concoction of the last aliment c. 3. The stupour of the matter transmitted to the parts of generation as in soft and effeminate constitutions over-moist and full diet delicacy of life immoderate sleeping c. 4. Such parents as were subject to it themselves in childhood These are faults depending from the whole body Those that peculiarly reside in the Genital parts are their to much coldnesse somtimes moistnesse whence they cast forth either an unfruitful seed or propensity too this disease as is in those troubled with a waterish gonnorrhea red and white fluxes in women the application of too cold medicines as Narcoticks especially if oft used Thus much for the principal causes before conception Now for the faults of the mother while the Embryo is in the womb As 1. A cold and moist distemper of the womb 2. All those things which hasten crude and impure juices to the Embryo as naughty dyet which heap up crudities imperfection of the first and second concoction moist and cold-diseases 3. All those wayes which defraud the Embryo of due aliment as excessive evacuations especially of blood sucking children too long after conception 4. Excessive sleepinesse of women with Childe sloathfulnesse ease vehement labour Hence note moderate labour watching and exercise which offer no violence to the womb are

good Thus much of the causes before birth Now of those incident to children after birth which are 1. Errors in the use of the six non naturals 2. Preceding diseases For the first considering children are seldome given to vehement passions of the minde and are unfit for venery the five other shall onely be touched The first is aire which procures this affect if too cold and moist which usually is most frequent in the beginning of the spring Be then cautious As also when the aire is cloudy thick rainy and full of vapourous exhalations therefore places neere the Sea great marshes houses neere the banks of great Rivers Ponds Meeres are condemned Also too frequent bathings in sweet waters cold and moist linnen soft linnen not well dri'd Use rather course cloaths and woolly coverings each of which by rubbing and tickling the parts excites and augments the inward heate and irritates a more copious afflux of vital blood to the habit of the body Secondly if infected with metalline exhalations as lead antimony quick-silver c. as also ointments made of them used Hence children anointed with mercuriall ointments for the scabs have after fallen into this disease Thirdly a vehement and subtile aire for it extremely attenuates and dissolves the inherent spirits Also hot ointments hot sharp saltish baths Fourthly aire filled with narcotick vapours also medicines of the same quality as Hemlock nightshade c. these procure a benumb'dnesse to the first affected parts and dull and diminish the vitall influx of those parts The second is Meat and drink As 1. All aliments too moist and cold as fish and crude meats too plentiful diet cold and moist medicines also taken inwardly 2. Such aliments as are too thick tough and obstructive as hung beefe salt fish bread new drawn almost all sweet things 3. Such as are of an extreame hot and biting quality sharp and corrosive as old and strong wines pepper spice and immoderate hot medicines Thirdly Motion rest exercise and actions i. e. if they exceed a mean defect in motion and want of exercise doth most effectually procure the disease for by this meanes the instruments of motion are dull'd Fourthly sleeping and watching as if too excessive or defective they procure the same evils as the like in rest and motion Fifthly things praeternaturally cast out and retain'd of this more largely for all the internal causes of diseases may not incommodiously be reduced to this although more rightly they may be distinguished into two kindes 1. Those things preternaturally retain'd and cast forth 2. Such things as are contain'd in the body preternaturally altered The latter are not onely removed by casting out but by alteration m●y be reduced to an agreeable proportion of nature However there 's a great affinity betwixt both It 's matter of judgement to know humors particularly predominant in diseases and also by what ways they may be spied out which are various yet not unfitly comprehended under the four humors viz. choler phlegme c. Whether excrementitious humours retain'd or vitiated by alteration the interne causes of diseases Onely blood properly so call'd is scarce here faulty Onely choler melancholy phlegme and a waterish humor or an undue transpiration and sweating Choler if it abound may probably be the cause of this affect being apt to hinder the nourishment of the parts and consume and dissipate the natural spirits Melancholy if superabounding and not purg'd out after a due manner may be arrested as cause of this disease For it rendereth the blood unapt to nourish the parts especially those first affected But Thirdly phlegme if retain'd or abounding may more properly be call'd the cause of this disease For it 's cold moist slow thick benumb'd little spirituous soft and affected with an internal slipperinesse The next is the undue transpiration of these humors as also immoderate or defective sweating which may be sometimes numbred among the causes of this affect For they dissipate the spirits and withall dissolve the parts especially the external which in this disease are first affected If they be retain'd they easily kindle a feaverish heat which likewise injure the spirits and dissolve the parts Both of them exposing the parts to a cold distemper And Lastly any humor cast out above measure doth easily procure a wasting of the parts and dissipates the spirits leaving the body to this affect Thus much for non-naturals We lastly come to diseases which preceding may be the cause of this disease 1. Some have affinity with it as any cold distemper or moist or both together ill habit from too much phlegme melancholy and mixt obstructions proceeding from such humors a cachexia dropsey c. 2. Such diseases as make leane the body as daily long diseases also all feavers especially the hectick ulcers of the lungs with a putrid feaver any continual feaver that 's violent as a burning maligne pestilent feaver pleurisie inflammation of the lungs small Pox c. Also all fluxes of blood or otherwise diseases that by consequence waste the substance of the parts as diseases of the stomack guts Mesentery spleen liver c. yea diseases in the Jawes mouth and throat that hinder eating also wormes teeth apoplexy palsy c. Luxations fractures of thighs legs or backbone also tumors paeines or like affects hindering the walking playing standing c. of children Progn Prognosticks This disease in its kinde is not mortal Sometimes it 's so gentle as that it 's wrought off by age Sometimes so vehement that it rejects all applications and concludes in death Hence Prognosticks are seriously to be contempl●ted that the event may be discovered If it invade before birth its most dangerous seldom if ever ends in health It discovering a deprivation of the seminary principles and insinuates a vehemency in the causes The more early it afflicts after birth the more dangerous If it depend on the natural inclination proceed from preceding diseases dangerous Not altogether so if either contracted by the meere error of the nurse or from an erroneous regiment of health If the backbone be weak the neck cannot support the head danger of life If the first affected parts be extenuated the head be great they unwillingly draw their knees upward or suffer them to be extended it s also hard to cure Girles as they are more easily infested so they are more easily cured then boyes If the swellings in the bones of the wrists and ribs be great it will be of long continuance As also if either the bones be crooked as of Armes and Legs or there be great bending of the joints If with the Rickets there be complicated a dropsey of the head especially if the futures gape mortal If they breed teeth painfully if with the Rickets be conjoyned an Asthma Phthisick Dropsey French pox deadly If there be the scurvy strumatical tumors either within or without little hopes If the teeth wax black and fall out by peeces dangerous They who easily endure agitation
