Commandements of God of whom commeth all cunning and grace and that his body be not quaking and his hands stedfast his fingers long and small and not trembling and that his left hand be as ready as his right with all his limmes able to fulfill the good work●s of the soule Now as here is a man meete to be made a Chirurgion and though he have all those good qualities before rehearsed yet is he no good Chirurgion but a man very fit and meete for the practice Now then to know what Properties and conditions this man must have before he be a perfect Chirurgion J doe note foure things most specially that every Chirurgion ought for to have The first that he be Learned The second that he be Expert The third that he be Ingenious The fourth that he be well mannered The first J said he ought to be learned and that he know his principles not onely in Chirurgery but also in Physicke that he may the better defend his Chirurgery also hee ought to be seene in naturall Philosophy and in Grammar that he speake congruity in Logicke that teacheth him to prove his proportions with good reason In Rhetoricke that teacheth him to speake seemely and eloquently also in Theoricke that teacheth him to know things naturall and not naturall and things against Nature Also he must know the Anatomie for all Authors write against those Chirurgions that worke in mans body not knowing the Anatomy For they be likened to a blind man that cutteth in a Vine tree for he taketh more or lesse then he ought to doe And here note well the sayings of Galen the Prince of Philosophers in his Estoris That it is as possible for a Chyrurgion not knowing the Anatomy to worke in mans body without error as it is for a blind man to carve an Jmage and make it perfect The second J said he must be expert For Rasus saith He ought to know and to see other men worke and after to have use and exercise The third that he be ingenious and witty for all things belonging to Chirurgery may not be written nor with letters set forth The fourth J said that he must be well mannered and that he have all these good conditions here following First that he be no Spouse-breaker nor no Drunkard For the Philosophers say amongst all other things beware of those persons that follow Drunkennesse for they be accounted for no men because they live a life bestiall wherefore amongst all other sorts of people they ought to bee sequestred from the ministring of Medicine Likewise a Chirurgion must take heed that he deceive no man with his vaine promises for to make of a small matter a great because he would be accounted the more famous And amongst other things they may neither be Flatterers nor Mockers nor privie Back-biters of other men Likewise they must not be Proud nor presumptuous nor detracters of other men Likewise they ought not to be Covetous nor no niggard and namely amongst their friends or men of Worship but let them be honest courteous and free both in word and deed Likewise they shall give no counsell except they be asked and then give their advice by good deliberation and that they be well advised before they speake chiefly in the presence of wise men Likewise they must be as privie and as secret as any Confessor of all things that they shall either heare or see in the house of their Patient They shall not ta ke into their Cure any manner of person except hee will be obedient vnto their precepts for he cannot be called a Patient unlesse he be a sufferer Also that they doe their diligence as well to the poore as to the rich They shall never discomfort their Patient and shall command all that be about him that they doe the same but to his friends speake truth as the case standeth They must also be bold in those things whereof they be certaine and as dreadfull in all perils They may not chide with the Sicke but be alwayes pleasant and merry They must not covet any W oman by way of villany and specially in the house of their Patient They shall not for covetousnesse of money taken in hand those Cures that be uncurable nor never set any certaine day of the sicke mans health for it lyeth not in their power following the distinct conusell of Galen in the Aphorisme of Hypocrat●s saying Oporter seipsum non solum By this Galen meaneth that to the Cure of every sore there belongeth foure things of which the first and principall belongeth to God the second to the Surgion the third to the Medicine and the fourth to the Patient Of the which foure if any one doe faile the Pa●ient cannot be healed then they to whom belongeth but the fou●th part shall not promise the whole but be first well advised They must al●o be gracious and good to the Poore and of the rich take liberally for both And see they never praise themselves for that redoundeth more to their shame and discredit then to their fame and worship For a cunning and skilfull Chirurgion need not vaunt of his doings for his works will ever get credit enough Likewise that they dispi●e no other Chirurgion without a great cause for it is meete that one Chirurgion should love another as Christ loveth vs all And in thus doing they shall increase both in vertue and cunning to the honor of God and worldly fame Thus farre for his Parts Of the Anatomie CHAP. II. The Anatomie of the simple Members ANd if it bee asked you how many simple Members there be it is to be answered Eleven and two that be but superfluities of Members and these be they Bones Cartilages Nerves Pannicles Ligaments Cordes Arteirs Veynes Fatnesse Flesh and Skinne and the superfluities bee the Haires and Nailes J shall begin at the Bone because it is the Foundation and the hardest Member of all th● Body The Bone is a consimile Member simple and spermaticke and cold and dry of Complexion insensible and inflexible and hath divers formes in Mans body for the diversity of helpings The cause why there be many Bones in mans body is this Sometime it is needfull that one member or one limbe should move without another another cause is that some defend the principall Members as both the Bone of the Brest and of the Head and some to bee the Foundation of divers parts of the Body as the Bones of the ridge and of the Legges and some to fulfill the hollow places as in the Hands and Feet c. The Gristle is a member simple and Spermaticke next in hardnesse to the Bone and is of complexion cold and dry and insensible The Gristle was ordained for sixe causes or profits that J find in it The first is that the continuall moving of the hard Bone might not be done in a juncture but that the Gristle should be a meane betweene the Ligament and him The second is

But in conclusion they meane all one thing For the very truth is that there be counted and reckoned seven Tunicles that is to say Selirotica Secondina Retyna Vnia Cornua Araniae and Conjunctiva and these three humours That is to say Humor Virtus Humor Albigynus and Humor Chrystallinus It is to bee knowne how and after what manner they spring You shall understand that there springeth of the Braine substance of his foremost Ventricles two Sinewes the one from the right ●ide and the other from the left and they bee called the first paire for in the Anatomie they be the first paire of Sinewes that appeare of all seven And it is shewed by Galen that these Sinewes be hollow as a Reede for two causes The first is that the visible spirit might passe freely to the Eyes The second is that the forme of visible things might freely be presented to the common wittes Now marke the going forth of these sinewes When these sinewes goe out from the substance of the Braine he commeth through the Piamater of whose substance he taketh a Pannicle or a Coate and the cause why he taketh that Pannicle is to keepe him from anoying and before they enter into the Skull they meete and are united into one sinew the length of halfe an inch and then they depart againe into two and each goeth into one Eye entring through the Braine-panne and these sinewes be called Nervi optici And three causes J finde why these Nerves are joyned in one before they passe into the Eye First if it happen any diseases in one Eye the other should receive all the visible spirit that before came to both The second is that all things that we see should not seeme two for if they had not beene joyned together every thing should have seemed two as it doth to a Worme and to other Beasts The third is that the sinew might stay and helpe the other But hereupon Lanfranke accordeth much saying that these two sinewes came together to the Eyes and take a Pannicle both of Piamater and of Duramater and when they enter into the Orbit of the Eye there the extremities are spread abroad the which are made of three substances that is to say of Duramater of Piamater and of Nervi optici There be engendred three Tunicles or Coates as thus Of the substance that is taken from Duramater is engendred the first Coate that is called Secondina and of Nervi optici is engendred the third Coate that is called Retina and each of them is more subtiller then other and goeth about the humours without meane And it to be understood that each of these three Tunicles be divided and so they make sixe that is to say three of the parts of the braine and three of the parts outwards and one of Pericranium that covereth the Bones of the head which is called Conjunctiva And thus you may perceive the springing of them as thus Of Duramater springeth Clirotica and Cornua Of Piamater springeth Secondina and Vnia And of Nervi Optici springeth Conjunctiva Now to speake of the Humours which be three and their places are the middle of the Eyes of the which the first is Humor Vltrus because he is like glasse in colour very cleere red liquid or thin and hee is in the inward side next unto the Braine and it is thin because the nutritive blood of the Christaline might passe as water through a spunge should bee clensed and made pure and also that the visible spirit might the lightlier passe through him from the Braine And he goeth about the Christaline humour untill he meet with Albuginus humour which is set in the ●ttermost part of the Eye And in the middest of these humours Vltrus and Albiginus is set the Chrystaline humour in which is set principally the sight of the Eye And these Humours be separated and involved with the Pannicles as aforesaid betweene every humour a Pannicle and thus is the Eye compound and made But to speake of every Humour and every Pannicle in his due order and course it would aske a long progresse and a long Chapter but this is sufficient for a Chyrurgion at present Now to begin at the Nose You shall understand that from the Braine there commeth two Sinewes to the holes of the Braine-pan where beginneth the concavity of the Nose and these two be not properly Sinewes but Organs or Instruments of smelling and have heads like teats or paps in which is received the vertue of Smelling and representing it to the common wits Over these two is set Colatorium t hat which wee call the Nosthrils and is set betweene the Eyes under the upper part of the Nose And it is to bee noted that this concavity or ditch was made for two causes The first is that the ayre that bringeth forth the spirit of Smelling might rest in it till it were taken of the Organs or Instrument of smelling The second cause is that the superfluities of the Braine might be hidden under it untill it were clensed and from this concavity there goeth two holes down into themouth of which there is to be noted three benefits The first is that when a mans mouth is close or when he eateth or sleepeth that then the ayre might come through them to the Lungs or else a mans mouth should alwayes bee open The second cause is that they helpe to the relation of the forme of the Nose for it is said a man speaketh in his Nose when any of these holes be stopped The third cause is that the concavity might bee clensed by them when a man snuffeth the Nose or draweth into his mouth inwardly The Nose is a member consimple or official appearing without the face somewhat plyable because it should the better be clensed And it is to bee perceived that it is compound and made of Skin and Lazartus flesh and of two Bones standing in manner tryangle-wise whose extremities bee joyned in one part of the Nose with the Coronall bone and the nether extremities are joyned with two Gristles and another that divideth the Nosthrils within and holdeth up the Nose Also there be two concavities or holes that if one were stopped the other should serve Also there is in the Nose two Muscles to help the working of his office And Gal●n saith that the Nose shapeth the Face most for where the Nose lacketh saith he all the rest of the face is the more unseemly The Nose should be of a meane bignesse and not to exceed in length or bredth nor in highnesse For Aristotle saith If the Nostrils be too thin or too wide by great drawing in of ayre it betokeneth great straitnesse of heart and indignation of thought And therefore it is to be noted that the shape of the Members of the body betokeneth and judgeth the affections and will of the Soule of man as the Philosopher saith the Temples are called the members of the Head and they have that name because of continuall

we make no partition between the Men and the Women whilest they are in Bathing but suffer them contrary both unto the law of God and man to goe together like unreasonable Beasts to the destruction both of body and soule of many First and before all other things my counsell is that every Bath have an hole in the bottome by the which the stopple taken out the Bath should be cleansed and scowred every foure and twenty houres at the least once and that I would advise to be done at eight a clock in the afternoone that against the Morning it might be full of fresh and wholesome water against the time the sicke folke come to it in the morning and so should they be a great deale sooner healed of their old diseases and in lesse jeopardie in taking of new which may easily come unto a man if he goe into a Bath wherein a sicke man namely if hee be sicke n a smiting or infective disease hath continued And for the Dyet that men should keepe at this Bath of Bathe hereafter ensueth with divers other necessary Rules needfull to bee observed of all those that enter into the said Bath or drinke the water of any Bath Certaine Rules to bee obferved in Dyet for all them that will enter into any Bath or drinke the water thereof THe counsell of Learned and wise Physitians is that no man should at any tim● goe into any Bath to seeke remedy for any Sickneffe except it bee such a one as that the learned Physitians almost dispaire of the healing of it If God have smitten you with any Disease before you goe to any Bath for the healing of it call to your remembrance how often and wherein you have displeased GOD and if any of your sinnes come to your remembrance exercise the same no more but be heartily sorie for it and desire of God forgivenesse for it intending and promising by his mercy and grace never to fall into the same againe This counsell is agreeing with that which is written in the 38. Chapter of Ecclesiasticus which saith in this manner vers 9 10 12. My Sonne in the time of thy Sicknesse faile not to pray unto the Lord and hee will make thee whole Leave off from sinne and order thy hands aright and clense thy heart from all wickednesse Then give place to the Physitian and let him come unto thee as one that God hath sent unto thee And a little after hee doth plainly declare that Sicknesse commeth from the punishment of sinne where hee saith vers 15. Hee that sinneth against his Maker let him fall into the hands of the Physitian As Christ in the 5. of John doth also manifest when he said unto the blind man he had healed Goe and sinne no more lest worse things chance nnto thee Howbeit wee may judge no man to bee a greater sinner then another because hee is oftner sicke then the common sort be for God sendeth unto good men oftentimes sickne●se not for the sinnes they have done more then other men but to keep them in good order that the flesh rebell not against the spirit For if that many Infirmities had been a sure token that such a man were a greater ●inner then should Timothy which had many Infirmities and sicknesses as Paul writeth been a very great sinner but hee was not so therefore that argument is not true But whether Sicknesse come for to punish sinne or to hold a man in good nature and obedience all Sicknesse commeth from GOD Therefore for whatsoever cause it commeth of before ye aske any helpe of any worldly Physitian yee must make your Prayers to Almighty GOD as the good King Ezechias did and if it be meet for you to be healed you shall be healed as he was Then before yee goe into the Bathes in any wise ye must goe to some learned Physitian and learne of him by the helpe of shewing what Complexion you be of and what Humour or other thing is the cause of your disease and there after his Counsell use such Dyet as shall be most fit for your Complexion and sicknesse Let no man enter into any Bath before his body be purged or cleansed after the advice of some learned Physitian for if any man goe into the bath unpurged he may fortune never come home againe or if he come home againe he commeth home most commonly with worse Diseases then he brought to the bath with him Yee may not goe into the bath the first day that you are come to it but you must rest a day or two and then goe into the bathe There is no time of the yeare that is more fit to goe into the most part of all the bathes then are the Moneths of May and September but the Spring time is better then any other time is The best time of the day is an houre after the rising of the Sunne or halfe an houre but before yee goe into the bathe if your disease will suffer you yee must walke an houre or at the least halfe an houre before you goe into the bath But you must at no time goe into the bath except yee have beene at the stoole either by nature or by art yee may take a Suppository or a Glister and for a great need Savanorolla suffereth Pils but hee will not suffer that he that is so purged enter into the bath for the space of foureteene houres The same Author also would at the least every Bather should have a stoole once in three dayes wherefore if any man be hard of nature and cannot abide Suppositories and Glisters he pardoneth the Patient if he be once purged or goe to the stoole in three dayes which thing scarcely any other writer that J have read will doe neither would J counsell any Patient to deferre the going to stoole so long if there be any meanes possible to make a man goe to the stoole without his great paine If that he be counselled to goe twice on a day into the Bathe he must see he goe not into it till seaven houres be past after your dinner and tarry not so long in it in the afternoone as you did before The common time of tarrying in the bath is commonly allowed to be an houre or more or lesse according to the nature both of the Bath as also of the Patient Let no man tarry so long in the Bath that he be faint or weak but let him come out before that time Yee must alwayes goe into the bath with an empty stomack and as long as you are in it you must neither eate nor drinke except that great need require the contrary Some grant that a weake person may eate a little bread steeped in the juyce of Pomegranats Barberries or Rilts or in the Syrups made of the same Some Physitians suffer a man that cannot abide hunger so long to take ere he goe in two spoonfuls of Raisons well washed oftentimes with two parts of water one of wine

The cause of our Sciatica and how yee helpe it SCiatica is a Disease so called because it commeth in that place of the Body called Scio and it is caused of an evill quality and grosse Humors that are strayed in that place because they cannot passe downe And this is seene by experience dayly for where that paine is there is alteration and the cure thereof is with Glysters Vomits Purgations and Unctions because the Glysters doth evacuate those places next unto it and so easeth the Humour the Vomit cleanseth the stomacke the Purgation doth evacuate the body downwards the Unctions dissolve the winde and by these meanes thou mayest helpe the Sciatica as J have done many times to my great credit and satisfaction of my Patient For Hoarsnesse AGainst Hoarsnesse goe into the Hot-house and when thou hast halfe Bathed drinke a good draught of warme water this is often proved Another Garlick sodden and eaten maketh a cleare voyce and driveth away Hoarsenesse and the old Cough If a man stand in feare of the Palsie LEt him eat every Morning two or three graines of Mustar-seedes and two Pepper cornes the same is assured for the same dis●ase by many A Medicine for the Goute TAke a pinte of white Wine a quart of running water a quantity of Barley flower and let them boyle together then put thereto halfe a pound of blacke Soape and let all seethe till it be thicke then put thereto the yolkes of foure Egges and when yee will use it spred it on a cloth Plaister-wise hot Stubbes Medicine for the Goute TAke a quart of red Wine Lees a quarter of a pound of Beane flower half aquarter of a pound of Commine fine beaten a spoonefull of Bole-Armoniacke halfe an ounce of Camphere which must be put in at twice and boyle them all together till they be somewhat thicke then make it Plaister-wise and lay it to the paine Another Plaister for the Goute TAke Occy cronium Galbanum and Melitonum of each one a penny-worth and distill them take a pound of stone Pitch and another pound of fine Rozen one halfe ounce of Camphere one quarterne of Deeres Suet halfe a quater of a pound of Commin and boyle them on a soft fire together and thereof make a Plaister upon a piece of Leather using it as the other Another for the same TAke the Gall of an Oxe and Aqua Composita of each a like quantity as much of Oyle of Exeter as of both the other and labour them all together in a pot with a sticke the space of halfe an houre When you have so done annoynt your palme therewith then wet a linnen cloth therein and as hot as you can suffer it bind it to the sore For a pricke of a Thorne or any other thing TAke Honey and a good quantity of Chalke and of the Gall of a Beast and boyle them together and make a Plaister of it and as hot as you can suffer it lay it thereunto Let the Chalke be scraped very small Approved A Remedy for burning and Scalding TAke the white Wooll of the belly of an Hare and if it be raw lay it thereto and it will never away till such time it be whole Another Take a Thistle called St. Mary Thistle stampe it and strain it and take thereof two spoonfuls and put to this three spoonfuls of Creame mixe them together and annoynt the Patient therewith To kill a Tetter or Ring-worme TAke the root of a red Dock the roote is very red and slice it and lay it in Vineger a Night and after lay it upon the Tetter and tye it with a cloth hard and it will kill the Tetter Approved For a winde or a Collicke in the belly TAke a Rose Cake and toast it at the fire with Vineger throwen upon it and lay it as hot to your belly as you may suffer it Another Take Mustard Figges and Vineger stamped together and lay it to the belly of the diseased cold in manner of a Plaister and it shall helpe Against the Shingles ANnoynt the Shingles with the juyce of Mynts and it will heale them To heale a wound in ten dayes as by proofe hath beene seene STampe Camphere with Barrowes greace and put it into the wound and it will heale it Approved For ache in the Backe TAke Egremont and Mugwort both
