in a Feaver being thick clotted and little in quantity do profit them that make them if afterwards thin urine and much in quantity be avoided by them But those urines most commonly become such in which the hypostasis or sediment shal appear presently after they are made or not long after Because the gross humors causing the Feaver are expelled in the humor which makes the urine which comes afterwards to be thin in respect of that APH 70. Those who have their water troubled or unclean in Agues such as are the waters of Cattel have or shall have head-aches Because the windy or flatuous spirit is easily drawn up into the head together with heat APH. 71. Those which shall have their Crysis or alteration of the disease the seventh day have a little red cloud in the urine the fourth day and other things thereunto belonging accordingly These red clouds are seldom seen though the white be frequent and are both of them signs of concoction APH. 72. Urines very cleer and white are bad especially in those who are afflicted with phrensies Because such urines are signs of an extreme crudity And Galen saith he never knew any one who was afflicted with a phrensie and made such water saved APH. 73. Those which have an inflation of the Hypocoâ—dria and a rumbling pain of the loyns succeeding have their bellies moistned loosened except the wind break forth downwards or store of urine do issue forth And these things happen in Feavers Namely in essential not symptomatical Feavers and such as are diseases of themselves APH. 74. Those that have hope of Aposthumations to come about the joynts much urine thick and white doth deliver from the Aposthume such as is wont to be avoided in painful Feavers the fourth day when also blood shall be voided out of the nostrils there shall be a dissolution deliverance speedily For those urines purge out the humors which would cause the aposthumations and especially if there be a bleeding at the nostrils joyned for then the causes issue out two ways APH. 75. If any piss blood or filthy matter it signifies an exulceration of the Kidneys or bladder That is if he do it for a continuance for otherwise it may proceed from some other cause APH. 76. Those which have small pieces of flesh or as it were hairs issuing forth together with thick urine do avoid those excrements from the Kidneys Those small pieces of flesh are part of the reins or kidneys and are a manifest sign of their being ulcerated but the hairs are onely bred there but are no part of them APH. 77. Those which avoid thick urine with certain things like bran have their bladder infected with scabbedness If the defect be not in the veins for such stuff comes sometime from them APH. 78. If any piss blood on a suddain it is a sign there is some vein of the Kidneys broken Namely meer and pure blood and without any external cause APH. 79. They in whose urine appeareth an hypostasis or sediment full of sand have their bladder troubled with the stone This Aphorism is mutilated and defective for the sand may come as well from the kidneys as from the bladder APH. 80. If any one piss blood or clots of blood and make his water by drops having pain in that part of the belly which is between the Navel and the secret parts named hypogastrion or at the seame line of the skin of the Cods called perinaeum and at the place called pecten where the hair about the privy members groweth then the places about the bladder are diseased Namely all the parts belonging to the bladder and not the bladder onely APH. 81. If any one piss blood or filthy matter or little scales and there be also a stinking or strong smell it betokens an exulceration of the bladder The two first accidents may happen upon the exulceration of any of the instruments serving to make water but the scales and stink are proper signs of the bladder being ill-affected APH. 82. Those which have an Aposthume bred in the urinary passage are delivered from it the same being brought to suppuration and broken Which suppuration and breaking gives the urine free passage APH. 83. Voiding of much urine in the night doth signifie small evacuation of excrements by the Fundament He makes particular mention of the night because at that time by reason of the sleep Nature is most busie about her concoction and distribution SECT V. The Argument This fift Book or Section is variable yet it doth almost wholly intreat of the diseases of women and of the good and bad dispositions of the womb APHORISM 1. A Convulsion after taking Hellebore is deadly Namely after white Hellebore and that for five causes First by reason of the agreement which is â—etween the nerves and the mouth of the Stomack Secondly by reason of the biting humors which it draws to the mouth of the stomack Thirdly by reason of the abundant evacuation the Hellebore causeth Fourthly by reason of the attractive faculty by which it draws the moistness from the nerves And fiftly because it vehemently dryes up the substance of the nerves APH. 2. A Convulsion caused by a wound is deadly Not always but for the most part APH. 3. The Hicket or a Convulsion after a copious flux of blood is evil Because of the great emptiness caused by the copious flux of blood and because the Hicket is caused by a depraved motion of the ventricle APH. 4. After an immoderate purgation a Convulsion or Hicket is evil For the same reason that they are evil after taking of Hellebore Aph. 1. APH. 5. If one that is drunk suddainly fall dumb he shall die with a Convulsion unless he be taken with a Feaver or presently recover his speech as soon as his surfet is dissolved Obj. How can wine being hot cause a Convulsion which is a cold disease A. Wine is hot moderately taken over abundantly cold as a little oil powred upon a fire will increase it but an over abonnding quantity thrown upon a little will put it out APH. 6. Those who are taken with a Cramp or distention called Tetanus die within four days or if they overpass them they recover Because it is a sign that nature hath overcome the disease APH. 7. The falling sickness which is before ripeness of years may be cured but that which comes after five and twenty yeers of age for the most part accompanies us to death By ripeness of yeers he means 25 yeers of age yet they are not all curable before that age unless they take a care in dieting themselves APH. 8. Those which have a plurisie unless they be purged upwards within fourteen days shall have their disease turned into an imposthume Namely spitting and purging such matter upward APH. 9. A Consumption likely happeneth in that age which is from the 18 to the 35. Namely that Consumption which comes by an exulceration of the Lungs APH. 10. Those who have
laxative and loose to a woman with child there is danger fo abortment Because the food is not distributed to the liver and other parts of the body so that the food is taken away from the conception as when she is let blood APH. 35. Sneesing happening to a woman grieved with suffocations of the womb or that hath a difficult deliverance is good For by a vehement shaking of nature it excites it redintegrates the natural heat which was almost extinguished and shakes off such noxious humors as hanged upon some part of the body APH. 36. The monethly courses being discoloured and not coming forth always in the same manner and time declare a purgation to be necessary for the woman To purge those humors which cause the discoloration and the alteration of time APH 37. If the paps be suddenly extenuated and become lank to a woman with child abortment doth follow This also happeneth for want of food for the conceived child APH. 38. If one of the dugs be extenuated and become lank to a woman conceived with child with twins she bringeth forth one of them before the due time and if the right dug become slender she bringeth forth the male if the left the female For likewise the male conceptions lye on the right side the female on the left as is set down Aph. 48. APH 39. If any woman neither with child nor having been delivered of child have milk in her breasts her monethly courses have failed her The blood which should have turned to monethly terms turning to milk in the breasts APH. 40. Women in whose dugs there is blood heaped together wil be mad For that blood is very bilious which striking up into the head causeth madness APH. 41. If you will know whether a woman have conceived or no give her a potion of hony and water mixed together going to sleep and if she feel gripings and wringings of the belly she hath conceived if she do not she hath not conceived For such a potion is very windy and the woman having conceived her womb doth press down and keep together the intrails APH. 42 If a woman conceived with child bear a male she is fresh and well-coloured if she bare a female she is ill-colored This Aphorism is one of those which for the most part are true though not always APH. 43. If the inflammation called Erysipelas be bred in the womb if the woman be with child it proves deadly One reason is because the chief cure for an Erysipelas is letting of blood and that must not be done to a woman with child for fear of an abortment Aph. 30. APH. 44. Those women which are very lean contrary to nature and do bear children do suffer untimely deliverance until they grow fatter Because that food which should be for the child in the womb goes to the nourishing of the mother APH. 45. Those women which being reasonable fat and make abortion the second or third month without any manifest cause have the ends of those vessels which come to the womb called acetabula or Cotylidons full of a pituitous or phlegmy humor neither can they contain the conception coming to any weight but they being broken it falleth down Wherby she must of necessity abort APH. 46. Those which are fatter then nature requires and cannot conceive have the orifice of the womb compressed and closed together by the fat Call of the guts and cannot until they grow leaner He means the inward orifice of the womb for it hath two APH. 47. If the womb shall Aposthumate in that part where it lieth neer the hip or huckle-bone it must be cured with tents dipped in a liquid medicine called in Greek Emmoton It must be thus cured the sore being first broken either by art or nature APH. 48. Men children for the most part lye on the right side of the womb and females on the left side This is because the womb is warmer on the right side by reason of its vicinity to the Liver APH. 49. A medicine procuring sneezing put into the nostrils doth drive and force out the Secundine so that you stop the nostrils and mouth close with the hand Which if it remained would putrifie there and with the stench offend the head APH. 50. If a woman will stay her courses apply a very great cupping-glass under her breasts For there be veins which come up thither from the inferior parts APH. 51. Those women which are conceived with child have the orifice of the womb shut and closed up That the air may not get in and corrupt the seed and that the heat of the womb may not get out APH. 52. If milk flow plentifully out of the dugs of a woman bearing a child in her womb it signifieth that the child is weak but if the paps be hard and stiff they declare a stronger conception Because it shews in the former part that the child is not able to draw it for his own nutriment But when they are solid it shews it hath nutriment enough and that which superabounds goes to the breasts and is there turned into milk APH 53. The dugs and paps become slender and lank to those women which shall abort but contrarily if they become hard pain shall molest the paps hips eys or knees but they shall not suffer abortment Because of the superfluous matter which is brought thither from the womb APH. 54. Those women which have the mouth of the womb hard must of necessity have it shut up This Aphorism had been better placed immmediately after the Aphorism 51. APH. 55. Child-bearing women which are taken with Feavers or are brought to a low state without any manifest cause do bring forth their birth painfully and with danger or are in danger of life by an untimely deliverance Because it shews a great weakness or imbecility in them APH 56. If a Convulsion or swouning happen to a woman in her flux of monethly terms it is an evil thing If they be vehement or last long it may be deadly because the womb is exhausted and draws all the noble parts into a simpathy with it APH. 57. Womens terms flowing immoderately diseases are ingendred and being supprest or stopt diseases happen from the womb By their immoderate evacuation the whole body is cooled and its forces weakened if they be stopt in progress of time excremental humors gather together in the womb APH. 58. The strangurie or dropping out of the urine doth happen by the inflammation of the straight gut and likewise of the womb or if the reins be ulcerated But if the liver be inflamed the Hicket succeeds By reason of the vicinity of the bladder to the straigbt gut and the womb and because of the purulent matter of the reins passing through the bladder and the hicket is caused by a high inflammation of the liver because it swells the liver and oppresses the ventricle and the bilious humor falling from the liver comes into the ventricle APH. 59. If a
and not those which are raw and undigested Neither in the beginning of diseases unless they be provoked by their own force and violence which very seldom cometh to pass Nature after concoction doth segregate and expel humors which if she be too languid to do then it is good to help it with medicines APH. 23. Things evacuated and purged are not to be estimated by theÌ„ multitude but advisedly to be considered if those things be avoided and senâ—forth which should and purged which should be it doth good and the sick may easily suffer it but if the contrary be evacuated they do painfully endure it Having in this latter part of this Section spoken of purges given by Physicians He sets down this to put us again in mind of those purgations which come voluntarily from Nature Having said the same thing of them in the second Aphorism SECT. II. The Argument This second Section of which the universal and plenary intention cannot well be assigned and set down hath many things appertaining to the Doctrine of Ages Signes Nature and Purgation APH. 1. IF sleep bring labour and pain in the disease it is a mortal sign but if it bring ease and mitigation of pain the sign is not deadly Sleep may hurt in two kindes the one is common when sick men sleep in the beginning of their fits The other is proper when they slelp at any other times Here we must conceive he speaks of the last APH. 2. When a Delirium or raving is appeased by sleep it is a good signe This is an example of the universal assertion in the preceding Aphorism now the reason of it is because nothing causeth and nourisheth raving more then want of sleep therefore if that cause it to cease it is a signe death is approaching APH. 3 Sleep and watching if they be immoderate and shall exceed a mean are evil For all immoderate things are enemies and adverse to Nature and too much sleep is a sign that the brain is too cool and moist and too little argues that it is too dry APH. 4. Neither satiety nor hunger neither any other thing which shall exceed the measure of Nature can be good or healthful For health is defined to be a symmetry and just proportion and besides too much fasting fils the ventricle with evil humors APH. 5. Weariness and dulness proceeding of their own accord signifie diseases to come Namely such a weariness as comes without any immoderate exercise of the body APH. 6. They which suffer pain of any part of the body and do not in a manner feel it have their understanding distempered and diseased That is to say have any disease or sore which causeth pain and they feel it not APH. 7. Bodies extenuated and wasted with long sickness are to be restored and refreshed by little and little but those which have been brought low quickly and in short time are sooner to be restored For in those who are wasted with long sickness the flesh is wasted in those who are quickly brought low the spirits onely which may sooner be restored then the flesh APH. 8. If any man eating meat after sickness doth not recover strength it argues his body is burthened and oppressed with too much store of food But if the same happen to one feeding meanly we must understand that he hath need of evacuation Because the body being oppressed with noxious humors they hinder concoction wherefore the said humors must first be evacuated APH. 9. How much the more thou shalt nourish and cherish impure bodies by so much the more thou shalt harm and hurt them This gives a reason of the former Aphorism Namely because the aliment which you give to such bodies increases the quantity of vicious humors APH. 10. He who will purge bodies must first make them fluxible Which may be done two ways either by opening the passages or by cutting off and extennating the thick humors APH. 11. It is more easie to be restored with drink then with meat That is to say with a liquid aliment for that is sooner altered and distributed then a solid and if yet greater speed be required they may be recreated with odours APH. 12. Those things which are left behind after the Crysis are wont to bring forth relapses Left because the matter was not fit to be expeld or Nature was so weakened by sickness that it was not able to expel all the noxious humors APH. 13. The night which goeth before the fit or invasion is tedious but the night following is commonly more easie We feel the pains of diseases more by night then by day because in the day time all the senses being awaked are imployed about some other thing APH. 14. The alteration of the excrements not made to the worse part in fluxes of the belly is good Because it is a sign that those noxious humors which by the excrements appeared to be in the body are voided and gone APH. 15. When the upper parts of the throat or gullet are sore or a breaking out of wheals doth arise in the body it behoveth us to look upon the excrements for if they be cholerick the body is also sick but if they be like the excrements of sound persons the body may be cherished without danger For if the excrements make no show of any further inward diseases those wheals signifie that Nature hath been strong enough of her self to drive out the evil humors into those external parts of the body APH. 16. When hunger beareth sway we must rest from much stirring or labour For hunger and exercise together would cast down strength and dry up the bodie too much APH. 17. When over much meat is received against Nature it causeth sickness as the manner of curing diseases proceeding from repletion doth declare Because it oppresses Nature now those diseases are cured by evacuation which shews they were caused by repletion APH. 18. Those thlngs which nourish speedily and plentifully are quickly excreted and voided For being speedily concocted and digested the excrements must also of necessity have a speedy passage APH. 19. Praedictions of death or health in sharp diseases are not altogether certain By reason of the suddain changes which happen in them according to the Nature of the humors which cause those sharp diseases and because the molestant humor runs out of one part into another APH. 20. They which in young age have a moist and loose belly in old age have it dry But those who have it dry in their young age have it moist when they are old This Aphorism is to be understood of those who continue in the same diet when they are old which they used in their younger years otherwise it would not be any way remarkable APH. 21. Drinking of strong wine putteth away hunger By hunger here is meant a disease which is called Appetitus Caninus or Appetentia Canina and those who are diseased therewith can never be satisfyed though they eat never so much APH.
often sick as young are But being once taken with long diseases they commonly dye Old men are presumed to be more discreet and temperate in their feeding which is the cause of this assertion for those which are not so are more subject to sickness then young men being weaker then they APH. 40. Rheums descending down to the mouth and falling down to the throat do not come to concoction in those which are very old This is as it were an example of the latter assertion of the precedent Aphorism namely that old men once taken with long disease commonly dye APH. 41. They dye suddenly which do often and vehemently swoun and faint without any manifest cause Because it argueth an imbecility of the vital faculty APH. 42. It is impossible to cure a vehement Apoplexie and very hard to cure a weak one For all Apoplexies are caused by a stopping of the animal Faculties from descending any lower into the body then the head APH. 43. Strangled suffocated folk being not as yet dead do not return to themselves if there appear any foam about their mouth Because it is a sign that the Lights are violently wronged APH. 44. Those which are very gross by Nature do enjoy shorter life then those which are lean Because fat mens native heat is weaker then lean mens APH. 45. Change and alteration of place and diet and especially of age free children from the falling evil For when they come to their youthful age they are cured by their hot and dry temperament APH. 46. Of two pains at one time not possessing the self-same place that which is the most vehement doth dull the pain of the other It doth neither cure nor expel the other but onely dull and obscure it APH. 47. Whiles filthy and corrupt matter is digesting pains and Agues do rather happen then when it is come to maturation For when it is maturated the inflammation and burning ceaseth APH. 48. In every exercise of the body when it beginneth to be wearied rest doth presently mitigate the weariness For as he said in the two and twentieth Aphorism of this Section one contrary is the cure of the other APH. 49 Thoke who are accustomed to daily labours although they be weak or old men do more easily endure accustomed exercises then those who are not accustomed to them although they be strong and young Because custom is a second nature APH. 50. Things accustomed a long time although they be worse are wont to be less grievous then those which are unaccustomed wherefore also a change is not to be made to unaccustomed things Because the bodies are subject to changes therefore upon such changes we must also fall upon some unaccustomed diet APH. 51. It is danderous at one time much and suddainly either to empty fill heat or cool or by any other means to move or stir the body For any thing passing the bonnds of mediocrity is an enemy to Nature and that is safe which is done by little and little and especially when an alteration and change is to be made from one thing to another Namely from accustomed to unaccustomed APH. 52. He must not pass forthwith from one medicine to another when all things fall not out so well as they should to him who doth proceed by good reason so that remain still and continue which seemed to him to be so from the Beginning For it is no point of wisdom lightly to recede from that which once you have approved of though it doth not presentely work as you would have it APH. 53. Those which have a moist belly pass their youthful age more easily then those which have the same dry but they pass their old age more hardly and with more difficulty for when they wax old for the most part it is dryed This Aphorism is of it self plain enough and compared with the 20 Aphorism of this Section they expound one another APH. 54. Greatness and tallness of body is comely to the state of young age but to old age it is improfitable and worse then a short stature For it burdeneth old men and makes them go stooping and crook-backed SECT III. The Argument This third book is almost reduced to the discourse of ages or times expressing unto us two common places that is to say the strength and force of ages and the diversity of diseases throughout those ages and times APHORISM 1. ALteration and variableness of the seasons do most especially bring forth diseases and likewise great alterations of cold and heat in those seasons and of other things answering to them in proportion Because they alter the air which we draw in continually with our breaths APH. 2. Some natures are well or ill affected in Summer and some in Winter By natures he means the temperatures and of them the cold and moist temperatures fare best in Summer and the hot and dry worst APH. 3. Some diseases are well or ill affected some more to one time and some to another and some ages more to some one time place and kind of dyet then they are to another He now affirms that to be true in diseases and ages which he had in the precedent Aphorism asserted in temperatures of the body APH. 4. Autumnal diseases are to be expected in those seasons when on the self-same day it is sometimes hot and sometimes cold For not the names but the temperatures of the seasons are the causes of diseases APH. 5. The South wind dulleth the hearing obscureth and darkneth the sight offendeth the head with aches and rheumes procureth and causeth heaviness and faintness in the members When therefore it is frequent and bloweth often such things are incident to the weak and sickly Contrariwise the North wind causeth coughs exasperateth and excoriateth the jaws hardens the belly suppresseth Urine stirs up cold shiverings and shakings ingendereth the pains of the sides and breast Therefore when this wind bears sway those that are weak and feeble must look for such accidents The South wind by reason of its hot and moist Nature and the north wind because of its cold and dryness do work these effects in weak bodies APH. 6. When the Summer is like the Spring time we must expect much sweating in Agues Because by its temperate and moderate heat it draws the humidities of the body to the skin but cannot dissolve them into vapors APH. 7. Sharp Agues are ingendred by great drought and dryness and if the year prove to be for the most part such as the state of the season is such kinds of diseases for the most part must be so expected Sharp Agues are those which quickly end but have heavy and troublesome symptomes APH. 8. In certain moderate times observing their seasonablenes certain and seasonable diseases having a happy determination are ingendred But in uncertain and immoderate times uncertain diseases are ingendred and evil to be judged For diseases follow the nature of the efficient causes and the efficient causes are
a signe that nature is weake and that the sweat hath not had power to drive out all the noxious humors APH. 5. After madness a bloodie Flux the dropsie or an extansie or trane is good For it signifieth that the noxious humors are gone from the head to the lower parts APH. 6. Abhorring of meat in a long disease and the excrements avoided down without mixture of humors are evill Because it shews the inbecilitie of the concocting facultie and that all natural humidity is dried up by the seaverish heat APH. 7. Cold shakings and fond dotings after much drinking of wine are evill The first by reason it is a signe that the native heat is extinguisht by the much drinking of wine And the doting proceeds from the heads being full of fervent blood and vapour APH. 8. After the breaking of an imposthume inwardly faintnesse vomiting and swouning He speakes here of the breaking of imposthumes which break in the stomack for the symptome of vomiting followes none else APH. 9 After a Flux of blood a Delirium or raveing or a convulsion are evill For it shews a great drought of the bodie and weakness of the brains forces APH. 10 After the Iliack passion or colick the hicket raveing or convulsion are evil Which are caused by the foulness of the stomack and consent which is between the braine and the stomack APH. 11. After a pleurisie an Inflamation of the lungs is evill Because it signifies that part of the noxious humors is gone from the Iess noble part of the ribbs to the more noble viz. the lungs APH. 12. A phrensie after an inflamation of the lungs is evill The inflamation of the lungs sending up vapours into the head and they possessing the braine cause a Phrensie APH. 13. A Convulsion or the Cramp after hot burnings are evill Because it signifies a great dryness of the nerves or sinewes APH. 14. Astonishment and raving through some blow of the head is an evill signe Because it signifies that the wound hath penetrated to the â—raine APH. 15. The spitting out of corrupt matter after the spitting of blood is evill Because it signifies that the lungs are exulcerated APH. 16. A consumption and a Flux of the haire or of the bellie coming after the spitting of corrupt matter are evilsignes for when the spitting is stopped the diseased doe die The first part of this Aphorisme is averred Aphorism 11. and 12. of the 5 Section to which we referr you The reason of the second part is because if the spitting be stopped the lungs are so oppressed with the abundance of flegme lying on them that the patient is suffocated and strangled for want of breath APH. 17. The hicket comming through an inflamation of the liver is evill For it shews the greatness of the inflamation of which the stomack also participates and being bitten by store of choller swiming in it it causes the hicket APH. 18. A convulsion or raving caused through watching is an evill thing For watching doth extreamly evacuate and exiccate the body which causeth both the raving and convulsion APH. 19. After the laying bare of a bone the inflamation and hot tumor Erisipelas is evill For it sheweth a confluction thither of hot blood and choler which corrode and consume the adjacent flesh APH. 20. Putrefaction or impostumation after from the inflamation Erisipelas is evill For it shews the malignitie of the said Erisipelas which doth not only exulcerate the upper parts of the bodie but feeds deeper in and creeps on to the sound parts APH. 21. A Flux of blood after a strong pulse in vlcers is evill First because it shews an extreame inflamation to be joyned to the ulcer secondly because this eruption or Flux cannot be unless the month of the artery be opened which is very difficult to be stopped APH. 22. After a long paine of the parts belonging to the bellie an imposthumation is evill Which it must needs come to at last unless death of the patient prevent it APH. 23. After avoiding of unmixed excrements downwards a bloodie Flux is evill For such humors will erode and perish some parts of the intestines APH. 24. Raving or Delirium ensues after the wound of a bone if it penetrate into the hollow or void space He speaks here of the bones of the head onely as appears by the 14. Aph. APH. 25. A convulsion after the taking of a purging potion bringeth death Because is signifies an incurable drought APH. 26. A great cold of the uttermost parts through vehement paine of the parts belonging to the bellie is evill The reason whereof is set downe in the comment of the 1. Aphorism of this Sect. APH. 27. If the disease called Tenesmus shall happen to a woman with child it is the cause of abortment This Tenesmus is a great provocation or desire to goe to stoole and when they come thither can doe nothing APH. 28. If either a bone cartilage or sinew shall be cut in the bodie it doth neither increase nor grow together againe This was spoken afore in the 19. Aphorism Sect 6. APH. 29. If a strong Flux of the bellie shall come upon him that is diseased with a dropsie called Leacophlegmatia it dissolveth and cureth the disease Because it evacuates the efficient cause of the disease which is abundance of white flegme from whence also comes the diseases name APH. 30. They have a falling down of flegmatick humors from the head which doe a vid froathie excrements out of the bellie For phlegmatick humors being windie it is no marvell if they be froathie APH. 31. Sediments in urines made in the time of agues like unto course wheat-meal doe signifie that the sickness shall continue long For it shews a kind of gross thick humor which cannot be disolved or voided in a short space APH. 32. Cholerick sediments in urins which at the first were thinn doe signifie a sharp disease For choller always causeth sharp diseases And urines are always faithfull messengers of the affections of the veines APH. 33. Those which makes diverse urines have a vehement disturbance in their bodie For when the urines are so it shews a manifoldness of humors to be viciously diseased APH. 34. The urins in which bubbles doe swim a loft signifie a disease of the reins and that the disease will endure long For those bubbles proceding from humiditie which is extended about by a flatuous spirit doe cause a cold disease which cold diseases are long APH. 35. Those to whom a fattness swims upon their vrine together on a sodain it is a signe the disease is in the reins and asharp one too For if the disease were in the whole bodie it would come forth by little and little and it is a sharp one for the head of it melts the fat of the reins APH. 36. If also paines be caused to those which are diseased with the grief of the kidneys about the muscles of the back bone and have the signes abovesaid if they
