A88902	De morbis fœmineis, the womans counsellour: or, The feminine physitian. Modestly treating of such occult accidents, and secret diseases, as are incident to that sex, which their too much modesty, too often to their sorrow, causes them to conceal from others, for a remedy whereof, they are here taught to be their own helpers; especially in these particulars: of barrenness and abortion: of natural, and unnatural births: of the suppression of the termes, the immoderate flux thereof, and other infirmities. Dicereque puduit, scribere jussit. With a brief appendix, touching the kindes, causes, and cures of dropsies, and tympanies of all sorts. / Translated out of Massarius de morbis mulier. By R.T. philomathēs.; Praelectiones de morbis mulierum. English	Massaria, Alessandro, 1510-1598.; Turner, Robert, fl. 1654-1665.	1657 (1657)	Wing M1028; Thomason E1650_3; ESTC R209118	65,102	229

the_o cause_n of_o the_o suppression_n of_o the_o term_n or_o diminish_v of_o they_o be_v principal_o four_o the_o first_o be_v the_o viciousness_n of_o the_o womb_n and_o of_o the_o vessel_n

the_o like_a which_o the_o womb_n be_v subject_a to_o which_o also_o impedite_a the_o term_n the_o second_o cause_n of_o the_o suppression_n of_o the_o term_n be_v corruption_n of_o blood_n which_o may_v be_v either_o too_o thick_a or_o too_o glutinous_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o vicious_a thickness_n of_o the_o humour_n the_o diet_n and_o many_o other_o cause_v frequent_o happen_v the_o three_o cause_n which_o cause_v woman_n many_o time_n not_o to_o have_v their_o purgation_n at_o all_o be_v the_o viciousnesse_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n that_o it_o send_v not_o blood_n sufficient_a to_o
