being so many that neither Galenus nor Hippocrates Bosq de finibus b●no r●m d●r inal pag. 31. 32. nor all the best Physicians in the world can number them saith Bosquierus the generations of men here on earth being as Homer saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Like unto the leaves of the tree whereof some do perish and others spring in their places They spring they flourish they waxe old and soon wither away Et tum quoque cum crescimus vita decrescit and our life then decreaseth as our years increase Ut rosa manè viget serò vespere languet Sic modo qui fuimus cras levis umbra sumus That is in the Prophets phrase we bring our yeares to an end as a tale that is told So that for all the excellent commendations and singular vertues given to man yet he doth decay die and return unto the dust and become as though he had never been Although he be never so honourable yea or poor death doth make equality between them Every mans course is appointed they cannot prolong their time notwithstanding God hath ordained sundry means by his ministers to help mankinde in time of sicknesse to ease their paines and heal their diseases And I being a child of the common-wealth am bound unto my Mother that is the Land in which I am borne to pleasure it with any good gift that it hath pleased God to bestow upon me Not to this end to instruct the learned but to help young and greene Students in Physick and Chyrurgery That they may resort to this Enchiridion medicum which I do dedicate unto your Worship as an argument of my good zeale and love that I beare unto you Which bold attempt of mine I hope your wisdome will pardon for I do plainly confesse that I have not thought this Book of mine worthy to be perused by you as well because of mine owne unabilty to performe any thing that your Worship may like of as also in respect of those manifold Graces wherewith the Lord hath filled you by the vertue of which you could in a tongue farre more eloquent then this discerne and know the secrets of Physick Yet neverthelesse when I consider with my selfe that it was not the affectation of any popular praise but an honest zeale to benefit my countrey-men which begat in me this desire to publish this Work as likewise an earnest willingnesse which I have alwayes had to commend some piece of service unto your Worship I say these causes meeting together did especially induce me with such a bold confidence as it were to rush into your presence and to demand without any shew of merit your Worships most favourable Protection that this Book of mine unable of it selfe may runne under your Patronage The Lord God who hath made you a notable instrument to work the advancement of his glory the furtherance and propagation of piety and good learning by your example lengthen and protract your life beyond your fatal period and give you a will to live a desire still to bear up that burthen which the Countrey hath laid upon your shoulders and with these all good successe in this world and sempiternall happinesse in his most glorious Kingdom Your Worships most humble Servant ROBERT BAYFIELD From my study in Norwich Decemb. 11. 1654. TO THE READER Courteous Reader I Have for thy benefit collected out of sundry Ancient and Modern Authors as it were a breviary or Abridgement of Physick and together with those deductions I have enterlaced many experiments of mine own which by continual use and practice I have observed to be true But I may seem to some over-bold in setting forth this book when as the works of so Honourable and Learned men who have laboured in this kind are so learnedly penned and highly esteemed In truth I must and do most willingly confess that neither in learning or experience I am to be compared with the least of them nay unfit to carry their books after them yet notwithstanding because many industrious Students want an estate to purchase such Authors their several prizes amounting to so much and also considering the great utility of an Epitomy of Physick whose matter is manifold and use general and that no English Authour I am sure in this volume as yet extant hath the Definitions Causes Signes and Cures of so many diseases amounting to the number of one hundred and fifty besides all those particular diseases that are handled disperstly in this book I have thought it good therefore I say to epitomize and contract the learned works of the learnedest and best Authours in England now extant with us into a portable Enchiridion Now what profit this my book will bring to young Students and such as thirst after knowledge I leave to the event If none I hope Godwill esteem my labours Non ex eventu sed ex affectu not according to what it did but according to what I desire it should do I know it will passe under the censure and judgement of divers sorts of men some are ignorant and cannot judge Et ideo grave judicium est ignorantis and the ignoranter man the severer Iudge Others are too rash and are ready to censure it before they read it or at least do read by starts and judge by parcels and so must needs be partial in their judgement Others are malicious maligning and depraving other mens labours and I know many about this City that can hear all but can speak well of none being full fraughted with jeeres and can so well dispute and craftily reason that they will easily make Candida de nigris de candentibus atra But to such I say as one lately did to the like Cum tua non edas carpis mea carmina Leli Carpere vel noli nostra vel ede tua Sloth sits and censures what the industrious teach Foxes dispraise the grapes they cannot reach Therefore I intreat thee who ever readest this Work that thou wouldest give thy mind as well to pardon failings as to know the truth If thou meetest with any faults escaped either through forgetfulnesse or non-understanding I desire thee either with thy pen to correct them or in courtesie to conceal them Remembring that the first editions of young Writers may have some faults If my endeavours want strength thou canst not in equity deny me pardon seeing thou thy self mayest run upon the same Rocks in other difficulties for Nemo sine crimine vivit Now Courteous Reader expecting thy favourable acceptation of these my labours which expectation of mine if it be not deluded I shall be further encouraged to consecrate the residue of my studies to thy commodity Thine ever to his power ROBERT BAYFIELD AUTHORES EX QUIBUS Hoc opus concinnatum est ACtuarius Aetius Altomarus Arnoldus de villa nova Avicenna Dioscorides Fallopius Felix Platerus Fernelius Fontanus Forestus Galenus Glissonius Gorraeus Gordonius Hartmannus Hercules Saxonia Hippocrates Hollerius

X. MELANCHOLIA is a delirium or doltishnesse 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which springeth from a melancholick humour without a fever which doth so perturbe the seate of the minde that the speech and actions are altogether void of Reason The cause sometime is of the common vice of melancholy blood Causae being in all the veines of the whole body which also hurteth the braine but sometimes only the blood which is in the brain is altered and the blood in all the rest of the body is unhurt and that chanceth two wayes for either it is derived from other places and ascendeth up thither or else it is ingendred in the brain it self and sometime it is ingendred through inflammation and evill affect about the stomack and sides therefore there be three diversities of Melancholy according to the three kindes of causes The signes are Signa fearfulnesse sadnesse hatred and also they which be Melancholius have strange imaginations for some think themselves bruit beasts and do counterfeit their voice and noise Some think themselves vessels of earth or earthen pots and therefore they withdraw themselves from them that they meet lest they should knock together moreover they desire death and do very often determine to kill themselves and some fear that they should be killed many of them do alwayes laugh and weep some think themselves inspired with the holy Ghost and do prophesie upon things to come but these be the peculiar signes of them that have melancholiousnes caused through the consent of the whole body for in them the state of the body is slender black rough and altogether Melancholius caused naturally or through certain thoughts watchings or eating of wicked meats through hemroyds or suppression of Menstruis but they which have Melancholia caused through evill affect of the stomach and sides they have rawnesse and much windinesse sharp belkings burnings and grieviousnesse of the sides also the sides are plucked upwards and many times are troubled with inflammation especially about the beginning of the disease also there is costivenesse of the womb little sleep troubled with naughty dreams swimming of the head and sound in the ears For the cure if it be caused of adusted blood Curatio first administer a clyster afterwards open a vein with this caution Venae-sectio that if good blood shews forth close up the vein but if the blood shall appear grosse black and turbulent then we draw away according as we shall see cause a sufficient quantity but first administer this clyster following ℞ Epithymi thimi florum Stoecados violariae Clyster Mercurialis fol.
