amending or preseruing the bodies of men women and children c. Ioh. It seemeth to be a goodly science Hum. Herodotus sayeth they greatly erre that call it a Science for it is an excellent Art in doing of notable things And science is but to know thinges There is also in this excellēt art sundry sectes of phisicions some be called Emperici who suppose that only experience doeth suffise and so by vse and experience dooe take in hande to heale diseases not knowing the cause of the said disease or sickenes Philinus was one of that secte at the first beginning Then folowed Serapion and after that the Apolonis And then came Glaucius Menadotus Sextus c. Another kinde of phisicions be called Methodici which neither obserue tyme place age state nor condition think them things of smal profit but onely their respect is to their disease they loue not lōg study in phisick are greatly deceyued because they would build without foundation and haue the fruits before they haue planted the trées These mens cures bee but by chaunce medly One Sirus began this which receyued certaine rules of Asclepiades The chiefe and best sect of Phisitions called Dogmatici These be the wise men which set not the cart before the horse nor the rootes of the trées vpward They doe prudently consider the chaunge of mans nature the dwelling place the alteration of the aire the time of the yeare the custome of people the maners of diseases the fashions of mens diet And this they will proue by true arguments and reasons and will bee verie carefull for their patientes· The disciples of those men be the best scholers therefore I counsell thee Iohn to loue wel Hippocrates the prince of Phisicions which began the best maner to giue rules to al the louers of phisicke Of this writeth Galen much lauding Hippocrates and his followers and in these daies Leonhardus Futchius Matheolus c. Ioh. Seeing thou hast spoken of sundrie partes of Phisitions I pray thee what partes be there of phisicke Hum. Truly there be fiue thinges to be noted in phisicke as fiue principall parts as Galen saith in lib. de Elementis The first is to consider the nature of mans bodie The second is to kéepe the bodie in health and to defend it from sickenes and infirmities The third is to know all the causes rules and seedes whereof the sicknes doth grow The .iiii is Crises or iudgemēt of the disease of thinges present past and to come The fifth is the best and most excellēt for it sheweth the maner of healing dieting fashion order and way to helpe the sicke bodie and preserue the same as long as man doth remaine in the state of life Ioh. Thou hast spoken of the partes of phisicke what is the forme maner or distribution thereof Hum. It is distributed in 3. formes one is natural another vnnatural the iii. against nature The first is by those things whereof the body is compact constituted or made as Galen saith in his .iii. booke of his Temperamentis Cap. 4. The second is called not natural as meates or things to preserue the bodie 〈◊〉 health they be not called vnnaturall because they be against the bodie but because the 〈◊〉 taking or glotonous vsing of thē may bring many thinges to the vtter destruction of the bodie The third bee things against nature which doth corrupt the bodie or po●●on nature wherof Galen writeth Ioh. Now thou hast taught me short rules of the partes and formes phisicall I pray thee shewe me some pretie rules of the complections of men and that I may aptly knowe them with their properties elements temperaments and humours Hum. Upon my Lute some time to recreate my selfe I ioine with my simple harmonie many plaine verses Among all other one small song of the foure complections wilt thou heare it take that chaire and sit downe and I I will teach thee my song Ioh. I thanke thee Humfrey The bodies where heat and moysture dwel Be sanguine folkes as Galen tell With visage faire and cheekes rose ruddy The sleepes is much dreames be bluddy Pulse great and full with digestion fine Pleasantly concocting flesh and wine Excrements aboundant with anger short Laughing very much and finding sport Vrine grosse with colour red Pleasant folkes at boord and bed Where cold with moisture preuaileth much Flegmatike folks be alwaies such Fatnes softnes haire plaine and right Narrow veines and colour white Dull of wit no heart too bold Pulse very slo● disgestion cold Sleeping ouer much vrine grosse and pale Spittle white and thicke thus ends the tale Choler is hot and drie as fire Leannesse of lims and puffed with ire Costiue bellies with lite sleepe Dreames of fier or wounds deepe Sallowe coloured or taw●ie red Feeding on salt meats and crustes of bread Voice sharpe and quickenes of wit Vrine yellow and saltnes of spit Pulses swift and verie strong Cruell countenance not anger long Melancholy is cold and very drie As here in rime the signes will trie Haire plaine and verie thin A leane wretch with hardnes of skin Colour whitelie or like to lead Much watch and dreames of dread And stiffe in folish fantasie Disgestion slowe and long angrie Fearefull of minde with watrie spitle Seldome laughing and pulse little Vrine waterie and verie thin The colde earth to him is kin Ioh. This is a good song and I will learne it for though it seeme not verie pleasant yet I perceiue it is profitable Now thou hast spoken of the signes of the .4 complections I praie thee teach mee shortly howe to knowe the elements Hum. They be the foure beginners vnmingled and vntempered from whose mixtures euerie corporall thing hath his substance Ioh. What be the partes I pray thee tel me Hum. Foure the one is earth the heauiest matter and grossest which is colde drie and melancholy And the other is water which is lighter and more subtil then the earth and of nature is cold moist and fleugmeticke Then is ayre more purer and lighter then water and if it bée not altered with any other straunge cause it is hot and moist and sanguine Then fier is most light pure and cleare a clarifier and a clenser of al the other elementes when they are corrupted and is of his owne nature hote drie and cholericke And of these foure Elements both man beast fishes foule hearbe stone mettall haue their proper working not of one of the Elementes alone but of all some more and some lesse according to their natures Hippocrates saieth after the soule is gone from the bodie the body doeth returne to the first matter whereof it was made And to conclude all things that be made vpon earth shall returne vnto the earth againe in tyme. Ioh. What might not men beasts fish or foule hearbe or tree bee of one element aswell

good The crude rawe Date doth califie the bodie and doth conuert quickely into choler it is not good for the heades of the hot people ill for the throte and stoppeth the liuer maketh the téeth rotten but if they be cleane pilled and the inward rinde taken away they doe greatly nourish and restore being sodden in stewed br●ath they be of diuerse kinds in quantitie and qualitie but generally hote and moist in the second degrée Figs as Hipocrates saith the best be white the second bee red the third be blacke the ripest be the best and amongst all fruits doth most nourish prouoketh sweat because it doeth purge y e superfluitie of humors throgh the skin it doth ingender lice they be hot in the first degrée and the new figs be moist in the second the séedes the skin of the fig be not greatly commended Figges and Almonds eaten of a fasting stomacke be very wholsome to make the way of good digestion but best if they be eaten with nuts Figs and hearbe grace stamped together be verie wholsome to bee eaten against the pestilence Rosted figges beaten together and hote applied vpon the pestilent sore doth draw mollifie and make ripe the sore And to the lungs liuer and stomacke figs be verie comfortable as Galen saith Ioh. What be peares Hum. They bee of diuerse kindes heauier than Apples not good vntill they be verie ripe vnlesse they be tenderly rosted or baked and eaten after meales There is a kinde of Peares growing in the citie of Norwich called the blacke friers peare verie delicious and pleasant and no lesse profitable vnto a hote stomacke as I heard it reported by a right worshipfull phisition of the same citie called doctour Manfield which said he thought those Peares without all comparison were the best that grew in any part of England Ioh. What sayest thou of Apples Hum. Apples be very cold and windie hard to digest ingenderers of euill bloud hurtfull to fleugmaticke people good to cholericke stomackes if they bée through ripe but best if they bée rosted or baked and eaten with grosse Pepper to bedwarde they be of many kindes as the Costarde the Gréene-coate the Pippen the Quéene apple and so foorth The distilled water of Apples Campher Uineger and Milke is a good medicine to annoynt the faces of children that haue the small pockes when the said pockes bée ripe to kéepe their faces from eres prouided that the said children haue giuen them in their milke saffron or Methridatum to expell the venim and keepe them from the aire during the said sicknes Ioh. What be Peaches Hum. The leaues be hote for if they be stamped playsterwise and applied vnto the bellie they kill worms The fruit is colde and very good vnto the stomacke they be good to be eaten of them that haue stinking breathes of hot causes eaten of an emptie stomack which is Galens counsell which saith if they be eaten after meate they doe corrupt both in themselues and in the meats lately eaten and they bée binders of the belly But Quinces be most comfortable after meate for they do enclose the stomacke and doe let vapours to ascende into the braine and stoppeth vomets they be wholesome for sicke folkes that bee swelled in the bodies Eaten with the grosse pouders of Gallanga Spickanarde Calamus and Ginger and may bee eaten before meate of the sayd sicke patients as well as after meate But much vse of them be not so profitable as delectable to the eaters of them Ioh. What be Quinces Hum. If thy stomacke be very hote or moyst or thy belly laxatiue then Quinces be good to bee eaten before meate being rosted or eaten colde and in this case the tarter bee the better and Pomgranets bee of the same vertue as Isaac sayeth but eaten after meate they doe enclose the stomacke and moist the belly they ought not to be vsed in common meats the custome of them hurteth the sinewes but in the way of medicine they bee excellent and the kores béeing taken out and preserued in Honie or kept theyr musse lege then they may long continue to the vse of rosting or baking for they bée perillous to the stomacke eaten rawe But preserued they doe mightily pruaile against drunkennes they be cold in the first degree and drie in the beginning of the second Ioh. What be Cherries Hum. The tarte Cherries vndoubtedly bee more wholesome than the swéet and eaten before meat do mollify the belly prepare digestion they be most excellent against hot burning choler they be good also after meate and bee of manie kindes as blacke red and pale The red Cherrie partly tarte is best Galen and Rasis greatly commend this fruit In the country of Kent be growing great plentie of this fruit So are there in a towne neare vnto Norwich called Ketreinham this fruite is colde and moyst in the first degrée Ioh. What be the vertues of grapes rasins prunes barberies oringes and medlers Hum. Hippocrates saith that the white Grapes bee better than the blacke and wholsomer when they are two or thée dayes gathered from the vine then presently pulled from it and if they be swéete they be partly nutratiue warme the bodie And vnto this agréeth Galen Rasis séeming to commend swéete grapes aboue dates saying although they be not so warme yet they doe not stop the bodie or make opilation as dates do They be wholsome to be eaten before meate euen as nuttes be good after fish Toward the South and Southeast partes of the world there be many growing in diuers regions whereof the wines bée made The farther from vs the hoter wine There be very good grapes growing here in England in many places as partly I haue séene at Blaxhall in Suffolke where sometime I was néere kinsman vnto the chiefest house of that towne Raisins of the sun be very wholsome and comfort digestion but the stones and rindes would be refused and then they be good for the splene and liuer So be aligants Rasis doth much cōmend them but vndoubtedly the smal rasins be hurtfull to the splene Prunes or damasens haue vertue to relaxe the belly if they be swéete and ripe but they do norish very litle but quench choler Grapes rasins and prunes plumbs and si●es if they bée sower be all binders of the belly and so is the barberie called Oxiacantha and Oringes except the said Oringes be condited with suger and then they bee good coolers against hote choler whose rindes be hote and drie of nature The fruit called the Medler is vsed for medicin and not for meat and must be taken before meat prouoketh vrine and of nature is stipticke Ioh. What be Capers and Oliues Hum. Fresh Capers be hot and dry in the second degrée and eaten before meates doe greatly comfort digestion and be the best things for the splene or to cleanse melancholy that can be

whence the veines doe spring and the stones of generation from whence the seed of life springeth but those compounded members that bee principall bee all the other members except the simple as the nose the eares the eies the face the necke the armes and legges and the braines and chiefe substaunce of our flesh bee compounded members of sinewes and couered with panacles which bee of a sinew nature but that sinewes giue féeling to all the whole bodie euen as the arteries giueth spirituall bloud from the heart to euerie member The whole body is couered with filmes and skinnes Out of the head springeth hard matter issuing from the places called the pores to purge vapours and smoke from the braine which ascendeth out of the stomacke into the head and is cleansed through pia mater called the tender couering of the braine or spirites animall And therefore as some partes of the bodie being diuided in sunder be each like vnto the other and yet called by the name of the whole as for example When the bones be broken in sunder or the flesh cut into diuerse péeces or the blood powred into sundrie vessels a péece of flesh is still called flesh a fragment of a bone is called a bone and a droppe of blood is called bloud Euen so an hande arme veyne or such like vnseparate partes beeing diuided into péeces or called by the name of péeces and not by the name of the whole part as is before But my friend Iohn to make a large description of Anatomie it were too long for mee but shortly I will say some thing And first the definition thereof is when the bodie of a dead man or woman is cut and opened and the members diuided or for the want of dead bodies to reade good bookes as Galen Auicen c. And it behooueth them that cutteth a deade corpse to note foure things First the nutrimentall members as the liuer with the veynes the second is the members spirituall as the heart with the arteries the third is the animall members as the head braines and sinewes the fourth and last be excrements of the bodie as armes legges skin haire c. Of these said members with the bones is all the bodie compounded And like as euerie trée and hearbe haue their rootes in the earth and their braunches springeth vpward euen so the rootes of mankinde haue the beginning in the braine and the sinew and branches groweth downeward in the which braine dwelleth the vertues of imagination fantasie memorie c. And these animall vertues be placed as it were heauenly aboue al the mēbers communicating their heauenly influences down vnto the heart as to a prince or chiefe ruler within the body which giueth life to euery part thereof Thou shalt consider that the hart was the first that receiued life from the spirites and shalbe the last that shall die Note also that as there be noble sences giuen to the body as seeing hearing smelling tasting féeling euen so nature hath foure principall vertues first Attractiue the second Retentiue the third Digestiue the fourth Expulsiue Attractiue is that by the which euery part of the body draweth the food of life serueth the vertue disgestiue and the Retentiue doeth holde the meate vntill it be readie to be altered and changed Digestiue doth alter and maketh the foode like vnto the thing that it nourisheth as fleme bloud c. Expulsiue separateth them from the other the good from the bad Thou oughtest also most chiefly to learne the knowledge of the veines and for what sicknesse they must bée opened and what medicins either in sirups or pils thou must vse And first marke this figure of the Anatomie here present before thee with the heauenly signes because I haue not painted at large the seuerall parts of the said Anatomie The middle veine of the forehead is good to be opened against Megrim forgetfulnes passions of the head And they that be let blood of this or any other veyne must first haue their head purged with pillule Chochi Rasis or some purgation but first vse thinges to extenuate matter as syrruppe of Buglosse c. Against Leprosy and deafnes Let bloud the two veines behind the eares and vse the said pilles or els pillule Aurea Nicholai or Arabice or cōfectio Hameth minor Against replexion or too much blood or bloud in the eies flowing in the head vpon the temple veines called Artiers for they bée euer beating And vse to purge with pillule Artritice Nicholai or puluis ad epithema Hepatis Against Squinancie stopping the throte and stopping of the breath Let bloud the veines vnder the tongue And for this vse Philoniūmaius Necholai and Gargarismes pilule Bechie and oxymel Simplex Ueines called Originales open not without great counsaile of a learned Physicion or cunning Chirurgion They be in the necke and haue a great course of bloud that gouerneth the head and the whole body Against short winde and euill bloud aproching to the heart and spitting bloud Open the vaine called Cordiaca or heart veine in the arme Use thinges to extenuate as Aromaticum Chariophillatum Mesue serapium ex Absinthij in colde time serapium Boraginis hote time and pillule stomachi Agaynst palsie yellow Iaundies burning heats and apostumations of the liuer Open the liuer vein vpon the right arme Take Serapium exendiue Diamargariton frigidum Auicennie Against dropsy open the veine betweene the belly and the braunch the right side against the said dropsy and the left side against the passions of the milte but bée not rash vnlesse ye haue the consaile of one well seene in the Anothomie Use pillule Hiere cum Agarico Agaynst the stopping the secrete tearmes or fluxions of women or helping the Emerods and purging sores Open the veine called Sophane vnder the ancle Theriaca Andromachi Pillule Mastichine Petri de Ebano Within twentie houres after one is infected with the pestilence comming sodenly Open the vein betwéen the wrest of the foote and the great toe Use Serapium Cichorij and Pillule pestilentialis Ruffi Against stinking breath Open the veyne betwéene the lip and the chin Use for this Catharicum imperiale Nicho Alexandri Against the toothake Open the veine in the roofe of the mouth And first purge with Pillule Choci Rasis or with pilles of masticke Against quartens tercians and paines of the left side Open the splene veine commonly called the low veine with a wide cut and not deepe For Chirurgions nicely pricking or opening veynes with little Scarisfactions doe let out good pure bloud and still retaine grosse colde and drie earthly matter to the great hurt of their patients And albeit many more veynes might here be spoken of and their vtilities yet this shall well suffice by Gods grace to kéepe all people in health that vpon iust cause haue these veynes opened except olde men women with childe and children vnder xiiii yeares of age or men after diuerse agues For
