IT happeneth otherwhiles that after the taking off of the skin or cutting off of the flesh in the corner of the eies if it be not wel looked vnto that the eyelids do grow vnto the apple of the eye or one fast to another wherewith the whole eie is couered For to preuent this must the eyelids which are not yet growne be raised vp softly and the place be annointed with a soft fether with the decoction of fennel and Carraway then put in some of the white of an egge do this euery day two or thrée times now if there remaine any flesh the fourth day are sharpe Collyria to be vsed which hereafter are described in the eyelids Of the neathermost Eyelid which pricketh the Apple of the Eye §. 7. FUrther it commeth also to passe that the Eyelids do alter their naturall course in growing not growing right but inwards and because as hath bene said next to the Apple of the eye they are very subtile not sensible at all they make the more paine with their pricking for to amend this these meanes following are to be vsed If there be but one or two haires then take Masticke Gummi Arabicum make them somewhat moist turne the eyelids about and annoint them therewith if it will not be well therewith then are the haires to be pluckt quite out and you must burne the holes with a glowing needle that it may not grow out againe Or you may vse this salue following Take the iuice of the roots of Southernwood Muscilage of Fleawort a little vineger and Camfere annoint the same in the same hole Item take Opium one grain Mastick half a scrup make it soft with a drop of vineger and annoint the hole therewith Or take the blood and gal of a Hedgehog iron drosse of each like much make a flat cake like to a Lentill or fish scale and lay it on the place where the haire is drawne forth that swageth the paine within the space of an houre and will not suffer the haire to grow there any more Or take the rust of iron temper it with fasting spettle In like sort may also be powned Ants egs and vsed But amongst all is the plucking out and burning most surest If the haires be many that grow inward then must one cut off the outer edges of the eyelids so that the roots of the haires be taken away the which must be done by expert Chirurgions otherwise must the eyelids not be cut ouerthwart at any hand for that they could not grow together any more Plaister de Muscilaginibus A plaister de Muscilaginibus promised to be described in the fift § Take Fenegréek Linséed Hollihock roots of each thrée ounces boile them and draw out the slime or the Muscilage besprinkle it besides with a little vineger afterwards temper 3. ounces of small beaten Litharge of gold sodden softly with sixe ounces of oile of Sesamum and put thereto the foresaid slime and then seeth it to a plaister or salue For falling off of the Haire in the vndermost eye-lids §. 8. THe falling off of the haire is of many sortes whereof heretofore in the imperfections of the haire are many things described in the third Chapter 6. § and furtherin the description of the beard shal be declared The cause of the falling off of the haire out of the lower eye-lids is a sharpe salt matter which consumeth the humors that should féede the haire and dryeth away the rootes thereof that they must fal away which is oftentimes séene by them that recouer of a sore sicknes It may also happen in the sorenesse and scabs of this place as hertofore is sufficiently declared Also experience doth teach vs that the hairs do fall from the eye-lids of those that leade an vnchast life Also that the crab lice do grow thereof is sufficiently declared before in the former Chapter 8. § But if the cause of all this be a sharpe salt smarting matter let the bodie be purged like as heretofore is specified for the itch of the eyelids and so for the like in others But for a beginning one must kéepe a good order in eating and drinking afterwards make this plaister Take Hares dung Bucks dung of each one quarter of an ounce burnt Hasill nuts thrée drag-goates fat as much as is néedful for a salue therewith annoint the eyelids Or take Antimonie burnt Pepper of each one drag and washed Lead halfe an ounce Indie Spica Squinant of each one drag and a halfe

In like maner also disturbance of the braines of the head and of the whole body rheumes of the head and chiefly cold toothach paine of the sinewes and of other members which do touch the hearing or impostumations swellings and wormes that do grow in the eares All these and other moe haue their speciall signes If the deafnesse or diminishing of the hearing procéed of outward causes the same may be well demaunded of the patient Doth it come from the braines then will also the sight smelling and especially the tast be annoyed If it be caused through hot impostumes or swelling of the sinewes then is there intolerable paine panting trembling and some frensie with it yea hot agues and lastly death it selfe if so be that there be not some good aduise taken for it in time If it be caused through cold humors there is then impostumation and cold alwayes about the same places Be winds the causes then is there alwayes some sissing with it Impostumations do yéeld matter wormes may be perceiued by their stirring or rumbling and if otherwhiles one fall out what now concerneth the description of their remedies our beginning shall be first of all of the paine of the eares and afterwards of all other infirmities of the eares Paine of the Eares in generall §. 1. FIrst it is herein to be noted that the paine of the eares is not rightly nor properly spoken for that which toucheth the outward part of the eare the same can suffer no great paine and although the paine were great yet is there no danger of life with it for that they be no principall members of the life neuerthelesse this is wont to be called the paine in the eares which is within the head and in the instruments of the hearing as in the sinewes of the hearing which are néere vnto the braines and are knit therewith of which intolerable paine deadly agues and frensies do procéed Therefore we will here expresse sundry remedies for the strengthening and cleansing of the braines from whence these terrible accidents do come like as already hath bene done in the description of the head in the first and second Chapter and more yet where we haue discoursed of the pose or murre that for this are especially these following gentle cleansings of the head commaunded to be vsed Take two ounces of Marioram gentle white wine one ounce the séeds of Licebane Piretrum of each one scrup temper it and drop it into the eares such cleansing of the head is not to be spared as long as the paine of the eares or head endureth Or when he perceiueth that it will come againe it is forthwith to be preuented and cut off but if the paine get the vpper hand which is caused through blood the which the red and swolne face with beating of the braines doth shew then is the head veine on the same side where the paine is to be opened that the matter may be drawne downewards If there run any choler amongst it then may the same be purged with yellow Mirobalans sower Dates sirupe of Roses Cassia de Succo Rosarum After both these remedies following or one of both are to be vsed outwardly Take oile of Roses of Willow leaues of each a like much temper a litle vineger amongst it and drop it lukewarme in the eares Or take warme womans milke like as it cometh from the breast and dropt it oftentimes therein Both of them do slacke the heate and asswage the paine For this is also good the braied white of an egge tempered with a little oile of Violets
successors do conclude that there be two kinds of Pleurisies to wit a right and a bastard Pleurisie Of the true Pleurisie hath here bene spoken the bastard Pleurisie is called that which is opened on the outside But we will in these and moe other subtill descriptions not vse many circumstances First there are many causes of these Pleurisies The outward causes may be vnnaturall heate or cold much exercise Northern winds euen as these sicknesses do raigne more in winter than sommer superfluous drinking of cold water or wine carying of heauie burthens falling straining striking and after great heate to come suddenly into the cold as also by drinking much Must The inward causes proceede by repletion of the whole bodie and alwaies most aboue all other humors through Cholera afterwards of bloud thirdly of Phlegma and very seldome of Melancholia In like manner wind may bréede this false Pleurisie the which may hereby be knowne to wit through anguish of the side without coughing or with some small cough and if the place be wrung or touched then will it cause paine that so swelleth otherwhiles and rankleth that it breaketh out outwardly or that it must be opened on the outside The true tokens of the Pleurisie you heard out of Galens owne words but that it may be knowne of what humors it procéedeth is to be marked by these words following in that of Cholera the vrine is yellow and thin the pulse hard swift and continuing the pain is great and pricking the whole body yellowish the spettle mingled with a little rednes there is much thirst approching with bitternesse of the mouth and no sléep with diuers other accidents moe which Cholera commonly causeth But if the Pleurisie do procéed of bloud then is the vrine red and thicke the spettle ruddie the veines full the pricking paine is not so big but there is drouth and anguish with it the mouth is alwaies swéete the forehead and eyes are alwaies heauie the patient is young of yeares and full of bloud The tokens of Phlegma are when the spettle is white when the paine is not too great when there is but little thirst and much sléepe therewith the vrine is bleake slow pulse and other signes moe that Phlegma accustometh to bring with it The Melancholia causeth the spettle to be a little leaden coloured wherewith is no sorenesse or continuall paine In like sort there are certaine tokens of life or death The signes of death are these when no remedies will helpe and all accidents as paine pricking shortnes of breath daily increase and contrariwise it is a token of life when all they diminish Commonly the stitch in the left side is more perillous than that in the right side for that it is nearer the hart But to come to the remedies then will we first take in hand the Pleurisie which procéedeth of heate and of bloud Of the Pleurisie of heate and bloud §. 6. WHen as any bodie getteth a pricking paine about the ribs in the side with a cough and an Ague then must he first vse this Clister following Take 16. ounces of broth wherein a Lambes head or Calues féete be sodden Put therein one ounce of flight Sugar the yolke of one Egge two ounces of Sallad oile Salt one dragme and a halfe temper them all togither If néede be to make a strong Clister Take Pompeon seede Cucumber séede and Gourds of each half a handfull Purslaine seede Lettice seede powned togither of each one dragme Mallowes Béetes Violets and Mercurie of each halfe a handful seeth them togither in sufficient water euen to the halfe part then take of this decoction twelue or sixteene ounces and temper therein oyle of Violets three ounces Electuarium de Psyllio two ounces Cassia and Tho. Sugar of each halfe an ounce Salt one quarter of an ounce and set it warme In like manner it is needeful to let bloud with speede Therefore is the liuer veine to be opened and that like as all learned and also Galen himselfe teacheth in the same side where the paine is for this helpeth very soone and the other very slowly But Rasis maketh this difference If that the patient be full of bloud then first must the vein be opened in the side where there is no paine and that not onely once but also oftentimes euen as the sicknesse doth require and the maladie doth continue the which may be fortie dayes continually But if there be great weaknesse or any other occasion at hand that one durst not open the veine then at the least set cups or boxes vnder the paine with much pricking as the cause importeth And after letting bloud thē annoint the place of the paine or Stitch with oyle of Cammomill oyle of Dill or with this salue following the which is stronger Take oyle of sweede Almonds oyle of Violets and vnsalted Butter of each one ounce Althea salue halfe an ounce muscilage of Hollihocks and of Frankinsence of each halfe an ounce Waxe as much as is needefull annoint the place therewith where the stitch is and afterwards lay this plaister thereon Take rosted Hollihocke rootes three dragmes Violets and Cammomill of each one quarter of an ounce Barley meals three quarters of an ounce Temper them togither with the oyle of Cammomill and Violets as much as is needefull for a plaister and lay it warme on the place of the paine It swageth the paine and the stitch that proceedeth of hote Cholera Another that is also verie good TAke dry Violets red Saunders Barley meale the seedes of Mallowes Bran Cammomill and Melilot of each a like much powne all that is to be powned make it with oyle of Cammomill and Waxe to a plaister And if therewith the paine do not cease and swage then put Beane meale Fenegreeke meale and Linseede meale vnto it of each one quarter of an ounce and one Fig or twaine and vse this so long vntill the paine as may seeme to the eye be delayed and swaged and vntill the spettle auoyd more easily The order of diet ALbeit that the abstinence from eating and drinking is very highly commended of all old Phisitions who haue commanded for the first three or foure dayes onely Barley water to be vsed yet is the custome of our countrey and nature not to obserue it so strictly but according to their command to keepe all possible abstinence is very good aduice yet in such manner that nature aswell through such great abstinence as by reason of the sicknesse it selfe be not ouerthrown Others do prescribe as followeth If the sick body the first or second day do cough vp no flegme then is he to be kept with Barley water onely But if he hath bene purged and let bloud then shall he at noone drinke Barley water or the decoction of red Pease At night he is to be fed with the crum of white bread that is steeped in sugred Almond milke and after it to drinke a good draught or twaine of Almond
which is ordained by nature therewith to moisten the Hart that through his continuall stirring it should not be so sore dried Likewise it hath otherwhiles a thick fleshie skin which lieth round about the hart and sometimes waxeth almost as hard as a bone the which the Grecians call Pericardion and we the closet of the hart and hath such moisture in it like as it were vrine yea otherwhiles like as it were with a swéete deaw And when as this moysture commeth to drie vp like as it happeneth in them that consume or liue in great sorrow then must death follow after it Like as to the contrarie doth come to passe when there is too much of this foresaid moisture that thereby is caused the panting of the Hart and distemperature of the vitall spirits It were here too long to rehearse all the signes of a hot cold drie and moyst Hart or of a cold and drie hot and moyst cold and moyst or hot and drie all the which are intemperatures or Intemperies of which is spoken in the first part and 1. § We will also touching this recommend the Reader to Galen who hath at large discoursed of these Intemperies But I must adioyne thereto thrée things which concerne the hart whereof the hart of them that dyed of Cardiaca or swouning or their harts that dyed through poyson cannot be burnt Secondly the foolish fantasie of the Egyptians that were of opinion that mens harts do euery yeare augment one quarter of an ounce and that during fiftie yeares and that afterwards from yeare to yeare it did abate as much againe which was the cause that men could not liue aboue one hundreth yeares Thirdly that the heathen of their offred beasts and also Iulianus the Emperour that fell from Christ do maruellously seduce people and perswade that all things to come may thereby be knowne whereof we will speake no more at this present We will now procéede with our intent and treate of all the diseases and accidents of the hart and do teach thereby how the same are to be holpen and cured And albeit touching this there be many maladies and accidents described by the learned yet we wil neuertheles briefely rehearse only of the faintnes of the heart of whatsoeuer cause that it may procéede as swouning quaking and panting be it through heate or cold amongst which may be contayned all accidents and maladies which are incident vnto the hart and lastly adde thereto of the maladie which is commonly called the griping of the hart Of the fainting of the Hart in generall §. 1. EVen as the Hart is the most principall and pretious part of the bodie so doth the same declare that there is the more care and prouidence to be had for to auoyd and take away his maladies for to cure all that which hurteth it and to preferre all that helpeth and to obtaine the same thus do the learned write these common rules hereafter following First that with expedition some good meanes and counsell be vsed and had against all that might happen vnto the hart for to expell the matter which is cause thereof for that there is no part of the body which may tollerate lesse delay of helpe Secondly for other members which haue any disease there one thing is commaunded another forbidden so that thereby no hurt might happen which neuertheles is not so duly obserued as whensoeuer is giuen to one that hath the Ague Wine or Flesh which notwithstanding is clerely forbidden but this must be more strictly obserued in the infirmities of the hart by reason that it is much more néedfull for to strengthen the same as can be best and to comfort it Thirdly if any member be by nature hote and yet there striketh more heate vnto it then must a great cooling be vsed but one may not do so to the hart whereto lesse or smaller things be vsed neither yet to delay it so long before you séeke remedie to cure it as shall be hereafter declared in the eight and ninth instructions Fourthly the parts that are helpers of the motions and actions of the whole bodie must not at any hand be touched with any strong purgation so that thereby the same parts and consequently the whole body be not ouerweakened the which must so be obserued in the hart by reason that the same doth procure all actions of the whole bodie Fiftly for that the diseases of the hart are caused for the most part of bloud and winde therefore is Phlebotomy much better for it then purging but if the maladie procéede of bloud then must the Liuer veine be opened on the right side if of winde then is the Liuer veine on the left side to be opened Sixtly if that purging medicines must néedes be vsed then is there alwayes to be put thereto that which may comfort the hart as hereafter shal be taught thereby to strengthen the same and to preserue it by reason that all purging mâ—dicines are not a little contrary to the hart Seuenthly it must be narrowly looked vnto what part of mans bodie doth send these humors towards the hart causeth this maladie for to make readie the purgation accordingly and to adde the cordiall things vnto it as hath béene sayd Eightly if that the Hart haue gotten a bad hot complexion that the same must be cooled then is to be tempered amongst the cooling medicines some warming things for if nothing but only cold things were vsed then might perchance the naturall heate be quenched and the patient killed Ninthly the cause of this mixture of cold and warme things is for that cold things are commonly of no force or power without the help of warme things to penetrate to the Hart. As for example the Saffron is therefore added to the Trociscos de Camphora For that all which shall here afterwards be written of the maladie of the Hart is no other thing but a faintnes whereof the one is greater and the other lesser than another like as Lipothymia and Syncope it is néedfull to write of their differences Lipothymia is a swouning or defect of minde which sometimes is but small and sometimes great and is soone ended contrarywise Syncope commeth suddenly vpon one and that with such vehemencie that he can neither féele sée nor heare so that betwéene death and him there is no other difference then that as yet he hath some breath Notwithstanding is the Lipothymia not so little to be regarded but that spéedily helpe must be had for it for that it may quickly turne into Syncope But before all things shall euery one know that both these tremblings of the heart haue so great acquaintance with the panting of the hart that many Phisitions haue comprehended them vnder one title as the remedies described euery where do testifie the same but that they haue made many necessarie differences betweene hote and cold swounings and first to write of the foresaid small swouning or defect of minde which taketh one vnawares

A Bad stomacke is otherwhiles no small cause of this swouning for it procureth before the swouning come a heate ouer the whole bodie As soone as this shall be perceiued it is not amisse to vse for it confected Balsam wood but in the stead thereof take Tabulates of Xyloaloe which are very requisite for this Secondly he is to take euery morning one dragme of fine Treacle which must be twelue yéeres old with Rose water of the confection of Muscus Diamoschu dulcis he is to drinke of it oftentimes with Basill water one quarter of an ounce at a time but that which concerneth the stomack shall follow hereafter Fourthly this patient is to haue hanging about his neck a good Smaragde stone or at the least selected Corrall Fiftly take one dragme and a halfe of Rose buds which are not fully blowen Vine leaues red and white Behen floures and séedes of Basill barke of Frankinsence Marierom gentle of each one dragme Balme one dragme and a halfe Camfer one scruple Amber halfe a scruple Muske two graines each beaten by it selfe and being bounden in a péece of silke are to be smelt vnto oftentimes but if the faintnes be not holpen thereby and that it be feared that he will be more fainter then must those things be vsed against the swouning that are described hereafter But for the first you are to vse these cordiall waters and plaisters following Take Balme water twelue ounces Rose water Violet water the water of Willow leaues and of wilde Vine leaues of each sixe ounces burnt Iuorie Roses red and white Saunders Harts bones seeds and leaues of Basill of each two scruples Muske two graines Amber fiue graines Muscadell two ounces let all these séethe togither about one quarter of an hower except the Muske and Amber make then a péece of red Scarlet cloth wet therein one quarter of a yard square wring it warme out and lay it fower or fiue times in an hower vpon the hart A spoonge may also be laid in this water and smelt vnto oftentimes for both of them do maruellously comfort the Hart. If so be that the swouning doth not yet cease then take two ounces of this foresaid powder and temper amongst it as much Barly meale one scruple of Saffron and séeth it with good old wine vntill it be reasonable thick temper it well in a morter with foure leaues of beaten gold and one dragme of prepared Pearles spread these vpon a péece of red Scarlet cloth and then lay it on the left breast This is approoued to be maruellous good and to haue sometimes holpen such a griefe within one quarter of an hower and sustained the sicke person by his strength Of Syncope the great Swouning §. 2. THe second and sorest swouning of the Hart is called Syncope and is thus described Syncope is a distraction of all féeling and stirring of the whole body with extreme faintnes Amongst many other inward causes whereof are these receiuing of any pestilent or other stinking aire whether it be in time of the plague or of the stench of any hollow caues or of the byting of any venemous beasts as of Scorpions mad dogs and venemous fumes of mettals like as in the melting often happeneth of great feare and frighting of former diseases as of the dead palsie the pleurisie inflammation of the lights suffocation of the mother of wormes of ouer-watchings of many laskes of much bléeding of great hunger of much smarting of great paine yea also of great ioy other strong motions of the minde So that this great swouning hath great familiaritie with the dead palsie albeit there be a difference whereof we are to speake If any get the palsie then remaineth his face by good semblance but in this swouning it is like to a dead bodie For in this swouning all the blood runneth towards the Hart so that the patient remaineth without any feeling and in such an estate that no man can tell whether he be dead or liuing so that there is a common prouerbe of it That such dead men ought not to be buried in thrée daies Secondly they are like one to the other in that neither breath nor pulse is perceiued Thirdly in the palsie the patient féeleth before a heauinesse in the head but not in the Syncope neuerthelesse they accord in this that the affected partie lieth as though he were dead But in this swouning it is certaine if it come after a long panting of the hart and continueth long then it is a messenger of death and chiefly if there be Ellebor blowen into the patients nose and it doth not stir and mooue him at all The signes of the swouning to come of what cause soeuer it be prouoked are sweating and panting of the Hart a slowe and feeble pulse bleaknes of the lips and face chilnesse of the outward members numnesse of the sense of féeling and moouing where these signes appéere there a strong swouning draweth néere and there is néede of good counsell First and with spéede when the swouning approcheth or is extant then is the patient to be spouted in the face with Rose water or if that be not ready to be had with cold Well water and it will be the better if there be a little

HEre before in the end of the fift Chapter we haue rehersed that this sicknes which we do call the griping of the hart is rather a disease of the Lights or a kind of consumption than a maladie of the hart but be it taken as it will yet neuertheles is this sicknes very grieuous for young children and almost incurable for old folks And in fine this english name doth signifie none other than the Feuer Hectica whereof we shall further discourse in the sixt part where we do write of all Agues for we haue alwayes thought good to adde thereto this that followeth Take Walnuts with the shels burne them wholie to ashes in a pot and thereof giue a child one scruple or more according vnto the strength of the child Item take dry browne Betonie therewith fill a small bag and lay it on the childs brest Women are of opinion that if the child may liue till the ninth day then will it recouer health For this you haue also a speciall Capon water for children that haue the consumption in the fift Chapter the 22. § It is also sufficiently knowen to all the world how that the hart by pestilent ayre will not only be féebled and infected but also inflamed with a full destruction against which you shall find sundry fit remedies in the sixt part in the treatise of the Plague For conclusion of this Chapter of the Hart and of the second part of this booke we will not omit the description of the Species de gemmis whereof is so often mention made which are to be found at euery good Apothecaries after two kinds of preparations to wit the cold and the hote Species which may be vsed to Confections Powders Cordiall waters and such like but by reason that the preparation of the same is very diuers therefore we will héere set foorth and describe only foure sorts of the most common preparations Species de gemmis frig Spec. de gemmis frigidae which are cold of nature are thus prepared Take Perles 3. drag Rubies Iacints Granadoes Smaragdes and Saphirs of each one drag Harts bones halfe a drag burnt Iuorie red and white Corrall of each one drag Roses one drag and a halfe white and yellow Saunders floures of Buglosse Burrage Sorrell séede and Basill séede red white Behen of each one dragme beaten Gold and Siluer of each fiue leaues Species de gemmis calidae Species de gemmis calidae or Mesuae Take prepared Perles thrée drag Saphirs Iacints Sardonix Correils Granadoes and Smaragdes of each one drag and a halfe Zeduary Doronicum Citron pils Mace and Basill séede of each one quarter of an ounce red Corrall Amber and filed Iuorie of each halfe a scruple red and white Behen Cloues Ginger long Pepper Spica Cassy wood Saffron and Cardamome of each one drag Cinnamome Galingall Zeduary of each one drag and a half small filed Gold and Siluer of each two scruples Amber 〈◊〉 quarter of an ounce Muske halfe a drag each beaten by it selfe and then tempered together Species de gemmis temperatae Species de gemmis temperatae These species are of a temperate nature not too hote also not too cold the which may be prepared as is thought good Species Cordiales Cordiall species For this take Perles burnt Iuorie Granadoes Cinnamome Tormentill and fine Bolus of each thrée drag red white and yellow Saunders shauen Iuorie and Vnicornes horne of each one quarter of an ounce Iacints Saphirs white and red Corrall Valerian Diptamus Zeduary and Lignum Aloes of each one drag sealed earth fiue scruples burnt silke two scruples Harts bones halfe a drag red and white Behen of each two scruples fiue leaues of beaten Gold Muske and Amber of each ten graines either of them prepared after his manner are to be beaten together Species Dia margariton frigidae The same operation haue also almost the Species Dia margariton whereof there are 2. kinds hote cold the warme are here before described in the 12.

then must boxing cups be set vpon the shoulders vnpickt and taken off and on The like is also to be done for continuall vomits and to set a great cup vpon the Nauell to the end thereby to draw the matter downewards And in case that the sicke body can sléepe with these cups so fastened it is so much the better There is also often times to be holden before his nose Saunders Roses and such like things for to smell vnto them Also some do counsell to take for this scowring if it continue the stalks of Tamariske being scraped cleane and to powder them then put thereto as much Harts tong as these foresayd powders the quantitie of two handfuls powring then vpon it thrée pints of wine of which wine he is alwayes to drinke his first draught sitting at the table This wine is also especiall good for the Milt or Spléene If there befall swouning then must there be giuen to the sicke body two graines of Muske tempered in wine for this strengtheneth much the vitall spirits In like manner is Hen broth and Lambe broth good for him tempered with a little of the iuice of Quinces Let the patient also haue rosted Pullets cut in péeces vnder his nose for the smell thereof doth much comfort Also let him chew Frankinsence and swallow down the same treatable At the last temper togither fine Bolus and Camfer of each one scruple and temper them with old wine and drinke it it doth coole and strengthen the stomacke All that is hitherto rehearsed is to be vsed whilest the parbraking yet endureth But if it stay and the stomacke begin to retaine the meate then is the patient to drinke good old strong wine and compose himself to sléepe Trocisci de Olibano and also take of the Trociscos de Olibano the waight of halfe a dragme which is thus prepared Take fine Bolus and Frankinsence of each one ounce and a quarter Cucubes Cardamom of each two dragmes and a halfe Camfere Gallia muscata Cloues of each three quarters of an ounce make thereof Trociscos with old wine these are especiall good against parbraking Item take the iuice of sower Pomegranats as much as you please and when it hath stood one night and the cleare is powred off then séeth it to the thicknesse of hony When it is taken from the fire and whilest that it is hot put some Mints vnto it so let it coole and then take out the herbes againe This may be vsed warme or how one will and is called at the Apothecaries Rob de granatis After the same manner you may also make Rob of the iuice of Quinces Rob de granatis For this is also requisite the sirupe of Veriuice and of Mirtles But if so be that there cannot be gotten any of the foresayd things for the foresayd sirupes then take Wine Plantaine and Rose water Now for as much as in this our methode we are come to the Laske or flixe of the belly which is commonly caused through a weake stomacke and diseased Liuer therefore it is now requisite that we discourse of all other sorts of Lasks whatsoeuer but first of all we will make a generall discourse of them Of the Flixe Laske or scowring by stoole §. 13. FIrst it hapneth often in haile people who haue a plethoricke body and do eate and drinke much that they get a Laske which commeth not often vpon them continueth not long also not otherwise then of a strong nature who séeketh to vnburthen her of superfluities like as it commeth to passe that thereby the patient findeth great ease This scowring hath no néed of any remedie vnlesse it be caused of ouergreat weaknesse for the which the same counsell is to be vsed which is prescribed against the flixe of the belly Lienteria so that at this present there is nothing more to be written thereof If so be then that this scowring of the belly be taken for a disease then is it first to be vnderstood that the same is caused through many inward members of the body and also of diuers other causes like as shal be hereafter taught immediatly that the same cannot be ascribed to any one thing And for that we should not describe this kind of laske by peece meales here and there we will now here ascribe this flixe to the stomacke as is already expressed the which if it be no euident cause of this scowring yet notwithstanding it is a great helpe to the same we will then afterwards adde vnto it all that appertaineth vnto it as the constraint to the stoole and binding of the body and all that is good for it But first of all we must here rehearse certaine rules which are to be obserued for all sorts of lasks wherof the first is that no scowring or laske is to be stayed before the fourth day if so be the patient be able to suffer the same without extreme faintnesse Secondly when you wil euer vse astringent remedies then must the same be alwayes done before meate to the end that the meate which is taken after them might be stayed vntill it were digested Thirdly this is to be noted of all binding meates of Chestnuts such like Fourthly when the laske is of heate then are the remedies to be vsed which are cold of nature and for the scowring of cold contrary remedies And because that in the cold scowring the digestiue vertue is very feeble warme things are to be vsed according to the importance of the case Fiftly if so be that there do come a cough to this scowring then are all sowre things to be forborne and all those which bind much Sixtly it is very good for all lasks to force the body to sweating and to annoint it much with oyle of Cammomill and Dill thereby to draw out the matter and to open the pores Seuenthly cups are to be set vpon the belly and kept vpon it foure houres long Eightly he is to be restrained and kept from all Fruits except Chestnuts which may bind if they will Ninthly rest and sléepe are especiall good for all flixes so is also contrariwise bad great labour other motions of the body Tenthly when as in the red or bloudy flixe the vppermost guts are excoriated then is the remedy to be ministred in at the mouth if the lower guts be perished then must Clisters suppositories be ministred beneath Eleuenthly if the excoriation of the bowels be aboue and beneath then are the remedies to be vsed aboue and beneath And that we may come to the originall the learned do name thrée Species of flixes or lasks as namely Lienteriam Diarrhaeam vnder which is contained the fluxe of the Liuer and Dysenteriam but what difference is betwéene these laskes that shall in their proper description be declared First this is here alwayes to be noted that all laskes be moued of inward or outward causes as vnhealthy meates vnruly life eating of any venimous things also heate
as it hath bene here before sufficiently taught Also in respect herof for that some haue so weake and so tender a mouth of the stomake that they cannot abide any fasting but when they begin to be hungrie and may not by and by haue foode do fall presently into a swoune When this happeneth then are the outward members to be rubbed hard and bounden with paine and the face sprinkled with Rosewater or washed and quickened with other things which be mentioned in the second part the sixt Chapter and 2. § But if so be that his force be not quite spent or if one perceiue that the swouning will come vpon him then giue him a bit of bread to eate stéeped in wine The fourth is a corrupted or bad hunger But because this hunger for the most part happeneth to women with child therefore we will not discourse here any further thereof vntil such time as we shall discourse of this and other matters moe appertaining to women In like manner also concerning the wormes because that they do infect and frequent more the bowels than the stomacke and are thence expelled therefore we will discourse of them in the description of the bowels The twelfth Chapter Of the Lyuer ALbeit now the Lyuer haue the seate in the third part of mans body fast vnder the Midriffe or Diaphragma about the stomacke for which cause we continuing our method ought to haue written thereof before the stomacke yet we haue declared sufficient causes in the beginning of the tenth Chapter and shewed for what cause it hath not yet bene effected This most noble member whereof we are now to discourse which we call the Lyuer the Grecians Hepar and the Latinists Iecur hath her situation as is said on the one side of the stomacke which it toucheth in a wonderfull and yet neuerthelesse in a naturall manner with fiue branches like as it were fiue fingers wherewith she stretcheth also a litle towards the left side and is also by nature one of the most needfull and worthiest members which is giuen for the nourishment and sustayning of mans bodie therefore are all beasts that do blow endued with it This great and excellent gift haue the heathen people also acknowledged but they shamefully infidelly abuse this wonderfull creature of God in their sacrifices in which amongst other the entrailes they behold the Lyuer especially supposing thereby to learne and vnderstand things for to come euen as they whether it be through naturall causes illusions of the diuell or through the leasings of their sacrificing priests haue published and made knowne many kinds of wonderfull things The substance of the Liuer is compacted flesh of a red colour not much vnlike to congealed bloud full of veines and arteries and is of a warme and moyst complexion like as is also the bloud Also of her selfe she is without sense or féeling like to halfe a circle and in man in regard of the whole body she is much bigger then in beasts and especially in such as banquet euery day and make good cheare or be fleshy by nature The Liuer is the beginning and the seate of all lustes a fountaine of all the veines the kitchen of all the bloud which she afterwards in most wonderfull manner doth spread abroad and impart throughout the whole body whereby all the members be nourished sustained and strengthened This her admirable operation is not amisse to be compared with must which hath his lées that setleth it selfe in the bottome Also there is then some light with it which ascendeth that we do call the flowre of the wine Lastly there is somewhat more which vaporeth out within the yeare which is waterish Euen so fareth it with the Liuer which draweth first all manner of mixed moisture vnto her the greatest the muddiest to wit Melancholia sendeth he towards the Milt or Spleene that which is light hote and fierie as Cholera is draweth to the Gall the excessiue waterish moisture which remaineth still in the rest of the bodie and all that is not méete for the bloud that do the Raynes draw to them from whence the same commeth into the Bladder and is afterwards voyded out for vrine This excellent member is like as the whole body of man subiect to diuers diseases amongst which the most principall are these namely when the arteries and veines be obstructed wherof then be caused all kind of sicknesses as inflammations schirrosities lasks or bloudie flixes diseases of the Kidneies and of the conduits of the vrine thirst yellow Iaundies and lastly diuers sorts of Dropsies whereof we will speake more at large hereafter Of the infections of the Liuer in generall §. 1. FIrst all men that haue any infection of the Liuer are called Hepatici notwithstanding that some do make somewhat else of it and it is described thus Hepaticus hath his continuall paine about the place of the Liuer with swelling and hardnesse The face looseth his naturall colour there is also an Ague and thirst with it with drouth of the tongue and the mouth But this is to be thought againe vpon that the Liuer it selfe is vtterly insensible and therefore féeleth no paine But this sensiblenes or féeling haue the inward adiacent Tunicles and all that belongeth vnto them which paine doth procéede through a cold or hote Liuer or some impostumation wherof the Phisitions haue their proper signes which we shal declare in their conuenient places But the common people yea also the vnlearned Phisitions do not know so quickly the sicknesse of the Liuer and that bicause of her manifold accidents and Symptomata which be incident vnto it whereof we will describe the most néedfull with all their necessarie remedies Of the obstruction of the Liuer in generall §. 2. FOrasmuch as the common causes of the obstruction of the Liuer like as is alreadie discoursed are in the veines and arteries and that as well through heate as through cold therefore will we first of all make some declaration in generall of this oppilation before that we come to the principall This obstruction or oppilation is thus described Oppilatio is an obstruction and such a disease as hindreth the bloud and other humors that should haue their passage course through the veines which may be prouoked through these causes following in the Liuer to wit if a bodie do gird himselfe too hard and hath his clothes too straight about the Liuer Item through fallings through thrustings and such like through vse of grosse meates as Porke Béefe Chéese vnleauened bread boyled séeds as Rice Wheate c.

OF these Varices or broken vaines is verie much admonished in the fourth part in the beginning of the second Chapter And although these broken vaines do appéere most in the hips in the legs neuertheles the same do also happen in déede in other parts of the bodie where they be séene knobbed greene and blacke These said vaines of the breast do sticke full of Melancholie blood and are verie ill to be healed They which labour much with the legs trauell much by land do beare heauie burthens and do eate many melancholike meates are for the most part troubled with these broken vaines Concerning the meanes whereby these broken vaines are to be healed is that at first the Basilica be opened and that the patient be purged with such medicines as expell melancholike humours whereof there be sundrie expressed héere and there in this Booke and that is also oftentimes to be done and he is to beware of all grosse meates When as this hath béene continued a long time then are the broken veines to be opened and the blood to be let runne cleane out of it Some doe also vse the actuall cauterie yet must the vppermost veine be opened where it first beginneth and afterwards to lay vpon it this salue or plaister Take Ceruse Antimonie Lytharge of siluer and burnt Lead of each one ounce sheepes suet fower ounces Frankinsence Momy Sandaraca Sarcocolla burnt Allume and Dragon blood of each thrée dragmes oyle of Roses and Vineger of Roses of each three dragmes white Waxe and Rosin of each halfe an ounce temper them togither and then make a salue or a plaister thereof this is also good for all old vlcers for it dryeth and swageth the paine Item Take Frankinsence Masticke Mirrhe and Momy of each one dragme and a halfe the iuice of blew Flower-deluce two dragmes and a halfe Hartwort Southernwood and prepared earthwormes dried to powder of each one dragm brused small Lytharge of gold halfe an ounce burnt Coperas burnt Lead Gals Cipers nuts the rootes Curcuma white and red Corrall and Roses of each two ounces Deere suet and oyle of blew Flower-deluce of each one ounce poune all that is to be pouned but the Rosin the Turpentine and the oyle are to be molten by the fire and so tempered with the rest to a salue Some do take Lupine meale and make a plaister with water wherein Tamariscus is decocted or with Goats dung Wine Also the vppermost members from whence this heauy blood falleth downe are to be strengthened and their disease cured The second Chapter Of depascent Vlcers in generall §. 1. FOr as much as we be now come to write of those vlcers which doe not continue in a place but corrode hitherwards and thitherwards corrupting the skinne the flesh yea sometimes the bones therefore is it first to be knowen that these vlcers be called Phagedaenas but for the more difference such like vlcers haue their seuerall names amongst which Herpes Phagedaena and Cancer be the chiefest the first whereof to wit Herpes doth yéeld much thinne and subtile moysture the Cancer grosse and tough matter and Phagedaena middle betwéene thin and thicke matter but Herpes is not alwaies an open vlcer but créepeth in time hitherwards and thitherwards like a Snake whereof this disease also beareth her name the one place healing and the other excoriating a new Phagedaena is a great vlcer and corrodeth very déepe into the place and on euerie side of it Cancer which is the canker shall hereafter haue his proper description And albeit these sores as is said do somewhat differ yet are they for the most part comprehended all vnder the name of a Fistell and it is thought that the Fistula is alwayes a cause of the other therefore we will also first of all write of that Of the Fistula §. 2. THis name of Fistula or Fistell in English haue the Latinists first of all giuen vnto this vlcer which doth signifie a Pipe for as a Pipe is long and hollow so is the nature of this vlcer also being déepe and hauing in the beginning but a small issue for which cause it is described as hereafter followeth A Fistell is an vlcer the which round about it hath a callous skin déepe and long penetrating into the bodie and verie crooked which be hard to close vp or to heale and the which sometimes also in stéede of good matter do yéeld a subtile moysture It is found also that these Fistels do appeere verie little aboue in the skinne and neuerthelesse do lie with their rootes déepe and hidden in the flesh wherefore they be also the more dangerous to be healed like as you may sée in the seuenth chapter and eleuenth § of the Fistell in the corner of the eies Item where we discourse of the Impostumes of the eares and also of the Fistell of the gums which are all togither described in the first part in the second part the third chapter and nine § In like manner also in the third part the tenth chapter and twelfth § of the Fistula of the Arsegut The causes of these Fistels may be precedent impostumes badlie cured or for that one hath stayed too long from opening of them whereby the matter hath eaten inwards and so is turned into a Fistell In like manner may also a Fistell growe of a wound which is not
part the eleuenth chapter and 5. § and elsewhere described This plaister ensuing is also good for it Take twelue ounces of the broth wherein shéeps â—â—et hath boyled a good while Sallad oyle and Butter of each two ounces Saffron 6. graines Salt one dragme slight Sugar one ounce and a halfe temper it and set this Clister one hower and a halfe before supper at which time he is to vse the powder which is described in the third part the 16. chapter and 3. § beginning thus Take Annis Fennell c. The seuenteenth Chapter Of VVearisomnes WE haue taught in the description of the Muscles that the wearynes of the body is caused through great labour which weakeneth the sinewes and the Muscles as daily experience doth teach vs and when a man is weary without this cause as though one had beaten his members in péeces then doth it signifie a great imminent disease The learned do deuide this wearisomnes into many kind of species as they that come of vlcers wounds and such like which may be apparantly perceiued This doth come through great coldnes of the matter which is very easily to be cured by warme dwellings by rubbings by swéet bathes and such like which doe warme the members open the pores and make the matter in the sinewes and muscles subtile Nature is also to be kept warme with eating and drinking wherefore euery such patient is to keepe himselfe with good white wine which is not too strong and to vse other things moe which shall seeme meete for all cold diseases whereof we for a conclusion of this fift part shall write immediatly hereafter Now we purpose onely to speake of the wearisomnes which is caused of great labour for the which there is no better nor safer remedy than rest and sléepe But this following may be vsed for it Take Rue as much as you please temper it well with Sallad oile and therewith annoint both the féete it is very good Item take a little Salt in a cloth bind it fast togither and dip it in the water cast it into the fire let it rost vntill it be blacke and run togither afterwards poune it and temper it with Vineger wet therein a woollen clout and rub therewith the soles of the féete The eighteenth Chapter Of Sleepe IF it be well considered what sléepe is then doth it not beare in vaine the high title which is attributed vnto it and because that the sleepe doth also oppresse the whole body passeth through each part of the same and bringeth it to rest therefore it is by good right placed in that degrée Concerning his title the learned do write as followeth Sléepe is a continuing and a moistening of naturall heate an elected rest of all the members which doth none otherwise couer and suppresse all motions of the minde than as the ashes do the fire which by a little stirring or vncouering of it will immediatly burne againe And if so be that this rest which is imparted to the body by sleepe and is as it were a remedie of labour then may it well be thought that they that cannot rest at all do sléepe vnnaturally for that it taketh away the wits and all actions of the minde wherefore sleepe is called of Ouidius and Seneca Tragicus a compeller of all mishap and a rest of the mind the best part of life an image of death to come and Deaths brother And further this sléepe is a confuser of the true and false visions a hauen of life a taker away of wearied sight and with the Poets the pleasantest amongst all goods yea the onely giuer of tranquility on earth For sleepe driueth away sorrow it is the remedy for sorrow and care it fréeth the hart and bringeth all things to rest The foresaid sléepe is a quickning of the weary and weake members a strengthener of the labourer It maketh the King and his subiects merry sorie and blessed And to conclude it is then so néedfull for nature that without sléepe this life cannot be vpholden You haue before in the first part the 12. chapter and 6. § also in the 10. § of the lithargy and in the sixe naturall things in the first part the fift chapter and 10. § all which may serue for this intent Yet these be the things which prouoke sléepe viz. Conserues of water-Lillies sirupe of Poppy heads which may be vsed for this purpose Lettice eaten in the euening for Sallads is also good The Conserue of Piony stayeth all fantasies and feare by night which will hinder men of their sléepe Sirupe of Citrons Wormewood wine oyle of Dill oyle of Poppy heads and also that which is beaten out of the heads and the temples of the head annoynted therewith are very méete for it What hindereth sleepe §. 1. THere shall not here be written of Lethargo which is a species of the Palsey and described in the first part the twelfth chapter and 10. § but of that sléepe which causeth a body to his great hinderance to sleepe too much in some kind of grieuous agues phlegmaticke sicknesses sweating sicknes and such like Now for to keepe sluggards and sléepers waking thereto are merrie folks fit to company with one pleasant spéech musicke and play if the patient haue any desire of it the rubbing of the armes and legs with or without footwater cold water honie of Roses holden in the mouth in like manner also the annoynting on the temples of the head with cold water and the same sprinkled in the face The nineteenth Chapter Of Paine WE will not here dispute of the outward paine of the bodie or the inward paine of the conscience whereof the Philosophers and Diuines do write Our booke doth onely speake of Phisickes sicknesses wherein the paine is such an accident of humane debilitie that there commeth not one so small a sicknesse wherewith there is not otherwhiles some paine like as may be séene by al the foresaid infirmities and as is here in particular discoursed of all sicknesses and to each is attributed his proper remedies for to assuage at least the paine of the same if it cannot be cured wherefore we will send the Reader and euery one that hath occasion to take aduise therein to the titles of all diseases that do molest the bodie with paine The twentith Chapter Of Phlegma AS we haue oftentimes admonished before that the body of man and the most part of all other liuing creatures are made and sustained of many kinds of humors that so long also as the same be equally tempered do bring health with them contrariwise if that one do raigne aboue another it doth cause a sicknesse Of Cholera when it getteth the mastery then do hote sicknesses grow out of it as may further be read in the description of the Gall. In like manner also it is taught in the Chapter of the hote stomacke and in other places moe Of the burnt blacke bloud of Melancholia hath bene spoken in the first part the
the fift part the 18. chap. where is sufficiently treated what hereto belongeth For to releeue them that be sicke of the Ague §. 10. FUrthermore there are many things that reuiue these patients whereby their heauines that procéedeth from the heate of the Ague might be cleane taken away to wit that fresh linnen and shéetes be giuen often vnto them their beds often rowzed and made also set in their sights glasse bottels filled with faire water put often faire water out of one pot into another in the presence of the patient Vrge him to smell often to a glasse filled with faire water Rose water and good Renish wine and giue them Pomgranats Oranges and Rhenish wine to suck vpon and especially before meate Let their hands and face be often annointed before and after meate with some pleasant odoriferous things For the releefe or comforting of the sicke §. 11. THese kinds of hot maladies require also that somtime the diseased haue somwhat giuen them whereby the naturall spirits may be reuiued quickened strengthened and cherished Therefore it is requisite that we write somwhat thereof Hereto is very soueraigne the black confected Cherries red and dried Cherries with the Conserues of the same and all that may be made of Cherries The confected Muscadell peares with or without wine according to the qualitie of the Ague are passing good Item conserue of Berberries and the sirupe of the same are also very good for it And in like manner all that may be made of Raspes Item Conserue of Buglosse of Burrage and of Roses each apart or mixed together Sugar of Roses melted in Well water and so drunken is also passing good for the same and in like manner the Sugar of Manus Christi Some vse for lauing a shiue of bread soaked in Rosemarie wine for that it strengtheneth and quickeneth appetite but it is better for the cold than for the hote Ague If so be that the patient do get blisters in the mouth or the toong furre and the throate do burne as chanceth oftentimes then looke into the first part the thirtéenth chapter and second § where you shall find very good remedies for the same Ordinances for all those that are recouered of a long sicknesse §. 12. NOw if it come to passe that sicke folkes begin to amend and the disease weare away the breath beginneth to be frée the paine to cease the sléepe to come and haue lust and appetite to their meate then may be fréely said that the patient beginneth to recouer then is the patient to be kept very sober in his diet of eating and drinking and not féede vpon any other meats then are requisit for such like diseases like as Barly grout Currans broth wherein the roots of Parsly and Cicorie are sodden for that all these things do strengthen and moisten There must also be vsed outwardly for the strengthening of the stomacke oyle of Mints of Masticke of Wormewood and of Spica You may also make a salue for the stomacke with the foresaid oyles being mingled with Cloues Nutmegs and Cinnamom and with a little molten Waxe Item the plaister of Masticke and other plaisters mo that are specified in the description of the stomacke are very good for it being laid on the stomacke outwardly Concerning the patients binding of the bodie you may vse any cooling things specified in the third part the eleuenth Chapter and 20. § Aboue all the rest that is spoken of before for the recouerie of all diseases it is passing good to alter the place or situation especially to draw neare to the mountaines or hils whereas it is drie and far from the sea and from all noysome and stinking lakes Aromaticum Rosatum doth strengthen wonderfull much The fourth Chapter Of the halfe third daies Ague called Hemitritaea THis is also a kind of continuall ague the which is one day slacker than an other appeareth in the outward members at one time with great heate and another with great cold therefore must you haue daily care to mark how it taketh one and what humors there be that do raigne most of all in the same Ague that there may the better order be taken for redresse thereof like as in the beginning of the continuall agues and hereafter shall be taught in the description of the Quotidian Tertian Quartain agues The mixture of these agues is of Cholera and Phlegma for which cause it is ioyned halfe with a tertian and half with a quartaine ague whereby groweth a cōtinuall ague And when the Cholera getteth the vpper hand then is the tertian the more stronger and when there is most of the Phlegma then is the quartaine the mightiest So that when they are both o◠equiualent efficacie then it is onely called Hemitritaea that is when both these humors do worke equally and haue their operations alike There is for the heate of these agues giuen commonly to the patient Barly water that is sod with Melon séedes Gourd séedes Endiue séedes and such like For the cold is Pepper Cinnamom and Annis séede and the Wormwood much praised especially Oxysacchara be it of whatsoeuer humor this ague doth procéede The fift Chapter Of the tertian Ague LIke as we haue in the former chapt made mention of the tertian Ague and haue numbred the same amongst the hote agues whereof we now do speake so doth our methode now require to adde these and all other hote agues vnto them This ague doth alter her selfe into many kinds of sorts and species according as it mingleth it selfe with other agues which oftentimes happeneth But if this Ague remaine in her owne propertie then do the learned call it Exquisitam and Legitimam that is as much to say as neat of it self and vnmingled and it is such a kind of Ague wherein the propertie of the person his age the time of the yeare the state of the bodie and the whole former order of diet do agrée one with another and accord with the humor which causeth this Ague This exquisite tertian ague commeth not aboue seuen times and it is wholy without perill The second sort of this Ague they terme Tertianam Notham or Spuriam that is as much to say as a bastard tertian Ague whereof we will speake and declare hereafter apart Now to speake of the right nature and propertie of the tertian Ague they are commonly subiect vnto it which are cold of nature and of a middle age because that in them the Gall most aboundeth also in Sommer time when the Cholera raigneth there happen many hote and burning Causenes whereof we shall hereafter make mention This tertian Ague raigneth most in hot dry countries in hot dry dwellings and in hot ayre All bodies that do labor sore in the Summer watch much liue in great sorrow are nourished with subtile meates and such like are most subiect to these sorts of Agues as also all they that vse too much Phisicke they that are hote and drie of nature And although
signes to be found than age as are to be séene in very old folkes Now to come to the remedies of this kind of consumption this patient shall vse as néere as he may all warme and moist things He must often bathe himselfe in fresh warme water and vse many moystening clisters as the broth of Lambes heads of tripes of Hens and the like for these are very commodious for him because they moisten the bowels and refresh and nourish the liuer But you must put hereto neither salt nor any spice that they be not too sharp and may be held in the longer You must also take for this Clister not aboue sixe ounces of broth at once but in foure and twentie houres you are to minister thrée or foure Also the rubbing or bathing of the externall parts after meales is greatly commended and as Hony in the Ague Hectica is very hurtfull so is it in this disease Marasmode very commodious Further all light meates are passing good for him that are not slimie as fresh broth reare egges with a thinne and pleasant wine being measurably vsed and such like Item all the salues plaisters and other things which are prescribed for the Feuer Hectica may also be vsed in this sicknesse But for these diseases speciall héed is to be taken of cold and of all things as in any way consume the radicall humiditie Those that wil haue any further declaration of this infirmity let them reade that which hath bene said in the description of the consumption or feuer Hectica The thirteenth Chapter Of the long lingring Agues THe long continuing of Agues dependeth vpon thrée kinds of causes First when any one hath an outward sore which hardly will be cured Secondly if the patient or the Phisition euer mistake or kéepeth some bad order Thirdly this is also procured by some outward occasion as by the time of the yeare by continuall raine by the nature of the countrey by the vnhailnesse of the dwelling place by great care and troubles of mind But when it is knowne that there are none of these foresaid occasions then must it of necessitie depend on the fourth cause that is on a grosse tough and slimie humor If therefore you will haue remedy against the continuing of Agues then must you cure and take away the foresaid causes with their contraries For that these long continuing Agues are commonly caused by an obstruction of the liuer whereto these things following are principally good to wit sirupus Diarrhodon de Cichorio de Lupulis de Eupatorio de capillo Veneris Oxymel compositum de Bysantijs de Radicibus Item the decoction of Adiantum Harts toong Agrimony Wormewood Endiue Cicorie of all or of some of them The common pestilentiall pilles called Ruffi and Rubarbe Cassie Hiera picra conserue of Prunes Agaricus and sirupe of Roses laxatiue are also excellent good Item you must boile also Parsly roots with your meate the wine shal be mingled with water wherein Cinnamome Annis séed Coriander and Fennell rootes are sodden You must annoint the liuer with the salue that is described in the third part the twelft chapter and third § beginning thus Take oyle of bitter Almonds c. in which place you shall find many moe other remedies against the obstruction of the liuer through heate and cold For the liuer being deopilated and opened then will the long lingring Ague be easily mitigated The fourteenth Chapter Of swellings that follow after the Ague IT commeth oftentimes to passe that some haue their féete swolne after the long continuing of an Ague then vse a bath to sweate in and take one ounce of the distilled water of Cammomill flowers which hath bene drawne onely out of the yellow séedes of the flowers You must boyle in the water of this bath Sloe leaues and therewithall bathe and sweate In the bathing you shall forbeare from drinke but this bath is more commodious after some phlegmaticke Agues than after any hote Agues and what order of diet is to be obserued after a lingering Ague when the patient beginneth to recouer hath beene sufficiently shewed and declared in the third Chapter and the twelfth § The fifteenth Chapter Of the Plague THis most noisome terrible and perillous malady of the plague is called of the Gréekes Epidemia and of the Latinists Lues Pestis and Pestilentia which last name we also vse This malady is described by Galen after this manner The Plague is a sicknes that doth infect all or at the least very many men and is caused of the venemous ayre Or thus The Plague is a disease that either spéedily killeth or soone forsaketh a man And where such sicknesses get the vpper hand there distresse and misery aboundeth for it hath bene seene by experience that it hath made away men cattel and fowles of the aire yea many thousands of fishes in the waters and that not onely villages and townes haue bene depriued thereby of all their inhabitants but also great cities and countries haue by the same bene made desolate The causes of the Plague §. 1. OF the naturall causes of the Plague there are as many opinions amongst the Philosophers as there are causes that procure it as namely of venemous vapors of the earth that are infected by some earthquakes or if a countrey be hot moyst full of stenches full of lakes or still standing waters and cloyed with stench of dead bodies as it oftentimes befalleth after great wars and slaughters but especially is the aire infected as is abouesaid through sinne whereby it may diuersly be venomed Also when the aire is warme and moist and that it doth raine much in time of heate with a Southerly wind whereof we will not at this present make any further discourse but they that desire to haue any ampler description hereof may reade ouer the Philosophers and other learned Phisitions But howsoeuer this is the most certaine cause of this sicknesse that God the Lord for our manifold sinnes and wickednesse to wit idolatrie incredulitie and ingratitude hath vsed this Plague and many afflictions moe as hunger warre and shedding of blood to punish the foresaid sinnes and transgressions These are his rods and scourges euen the ministers of his wrath to chastice the wicked world as through his Prophets he hath foresaid and threatned the world and as both holy Scriptures and heathen writers testifie that it hath afterward ensued accordingly Signes of the Plague to come §. 2. FIrst it is a certaine signe that the aire is infected and that a plague is to be expected if in the end of the sommer there appeare Comets or any other impressions which men cal flakes of fire starres that fall or shoote and such like in the element which proceede of vapors that are drawne out of the earth into the aire and there are kindled whereby both men and cattell are infected Secondly when any vnaccustomed heape of beasts are séene as of Frogs Toades Grashoppers Mice and Wormes which oftentimes
