A Definition of Wounds by their causes A Wound is a solution seperation and recent breach of unity of that that before was a continuity with out putrified matter which corruption giveth the name of an Ulcer to the solution and no more a Wound The causes of Wounds are duall viz. First by the violence of bodies without life as we simply call an Incised wound as when it is caused by edged Instruments Secondly we call it a Stab or puncture caused by theforce of Daggers and the like Thirdly we call those Contused wounds caused by violent use of the object being some weighty thing cast as a Stone or stroake with a Staffe or their similies against the subject receiving their forces differing in their appellations by the diversity of their causes Or secondly wounds are caused by living things as a wound that is of Biting scratching and the like and for these causes they differ in their appellatious Also the differencie of Wounds are taken eyther from their causes by which they are inflicted or from their accidents viz. the indication of the place wherein they are scituated Also the place maketh difference thus eyther they happen in the similar parts as the Flesh Artery Veyne c. or in the organicall or instrumentall parts as some intire and whole bulke truncke or fully compleat member or limbe viz. The Head Necke Brest Belly c. Wounds of the Head grow more particular because that parts belonging thereto be of more note as the Face Nose Lippes Eyes and Eares wounds of the limbes arc of the Shoulders Armes Thighes and Legs Of the similar parts also some are Sanguine as the flesh whose wounds are eyther simple deepe hollow plaine or proud with flesh The Spermaticke likewise are eyther hard or soft the soft parts as the Veynes Arteries and Sinewes being wounded we call them wounds of the hurt part the hard are the Bones a breach of which we call a wound in the Bone So Wounds derive their Nominations from the cause place and simisitudes thereof What Wounds are WOunds are these Which in Latine are called Vulnus of the vulgar Vulner and they are of two kinds that is Simple and Compound the simple are those that are onely in the Flesh the compound are those where are cut Sinewes Veynes Muscles and Bones and these are of divers and sundry kinds and the difference that is among them is by the variety of the place where they are wounded and by the difference of the weapon wherewith they were hurt For some goe right some overthwart that offend divers places of the body The simple are of small importance if they keepe them cleane and close shut Nature will heale them without any kind of medecine but those where veynes are cut had neede of some Art or Practise with the which they must stop the blood and in any wise not to suffer the wound to remaine open but to sow it up very close so that the veyne may heale and those where sinewes are hurt are of great importance and would be healed with great speed so the Sinewes may joyne with more ●ase But those where bones are hurt are of great importance for if the Bone be seperated from the other of necessity it must be taken forth before the Wound be healed So that by this meanes every one may know what Wounds are and their kinds In the Curing of greene Wounds consists a five-fold scope or intention THe first is to draw out that which is sent into the Body whether by Bullet Wood Bone or Stone or Arrowes Darts and such like The second is a Conjunction and united of parts divided The third is a retaining of those parts united in their proper seate The fourth is a Conservation of the parts of the substance The fifth is a Prohibition and mitigation of accidents For the first intention it is performed eyther with fit and convenient Instruments or with attractive Medicines whereby things that are infixed are drawne out Which Medicines are these Radix Aristolochiae Ammoniacum Arundis Saga Poenum Anagallis Dictamnum Thapsia Ranae combustae Or Emplastrum Avicennae so much commended by Guyd● The second and third intention is performed by binding and Ligature if the Wound be simple and small and in a place where it may fitly be performed yea although it be large so it may be easily bound as in the Muscles of the Arme and such like but if it happen that Ligatute will not serve then must be added the helpe of the Needle being very carefull to handle the party gently and to place it in his due seate The fourth intention is performed and accomplished by appointing of a fit and convenient Dyet according to the strength of the Patient and greatnesse of the affect and disposition of the whole body for a thin Dyet and cold doth very much availe in resisting of Symptoms we also adde Blood-letting and Purging of humors to avoide accidents also the part is to be contained in his due place and a Cataplasme framed with the whites of Egges and other cooling things are to be applyed and sometimes to be fomented with astringed Wine The fifth intention is the correcting of accidents which is Flux of blood Dolour Tumor Paralysis Convulsion Fever Syncope Delerium and Itching But this is to observed in the Fluxe of blood whether it hath flowne sufficiently or no if otherwise the Fluxe is to be suffered for after a sufficient Fluxe the wound doth remaine dry and is so much the neerer cured and the lesse Symptomes follow as Phlegmon and such like and if the wound bleed not sufficient we must open a veyne for revulsion according to the greatnesse of the affect and the nature of the wound especially when through paine or other cause wee feare inflamation or a Feaver How a sicke man should Dyet himselfe being Wounded A Wounded man or a man sore beaten being sicke must be kept from Milke Butter Cheese Hearbes Fruites Fish except fre●h-water Fish Women Garlicke Onions Leekes Peason c. Also divers sorts of meats must he not eate as fresh Beefe water Fowles Goose or Duck nor drinke too much strong Wine But he may eate Porke Mutton Chicken Henne or Capon Of Wounds and their Cures happening in severall places of the Body And first of infirmities incident to Souldiers in a Campe.

suffer it And upon the cloath lay the powder of Mille-foyle and this thou shalt doe once in 24 houres and so that shall helpe them quickly giving you great charge that you change not your Medicine For it mundifieth incarnateth and healeth the wound without any further helpe for J have proved it an infinite and many times Of Wounds in the Armes and their importances and Medicines VVOunds in the Armes are dangerous for that there also are a great number of Sinewes Cartylagines Veynes Muscles and other dangerous things as it is well seene in wounds in that place how that thereunto runneth abundance of Humours and there commeth alteration Inflamation and Impostumation which hurteth the Patient much Therefore in this case J will shew thee a rare secret where-with thou shalt helpe any sort of wound in the Arme without any alteration and with a little paine and the secret is this Dresse the Wound upon the upper parts with our Magno Licore very warme without any tenting at all and this doe once a day and no more and in no wise change your Medicine for with this thou mayest helpe all Wounds in the Armes with great speed and it is one of the greatest secrets that can be used for the wounds in the armes and proved by me infinite times Of Wounds in the Legs and their parts VVOunds in the Legs are in a manner of the same quality as those in the armes because the Legs are of their proper quality and nature compounded of the like substance that the Armes are that is in Skinne flesh Muscles Veynes Sinewes and Bones And these when they are offended or wounded are very perillous because unto them runneth great quantity of humours and in the Legges are certaine places deadly as men say as the hinder part of the calfe of the Leg nnd the middle of the inner part of the thigh the ankle and the foote are all places troublesome and curious to heale when they are wounded and therefore to heale them according to the manner of the Antients it were great trouble to the Chirurgion and pity to see the paine of the Patient Wherefore in any wise use not the Medicines of the Antients But when thou hast occasion joyne unto the skill of thy Art the use of these Medicines our Quintessentia Balsamo Magno Licore Oleo di Rasa Olea Benedicto Ole● Philosophorum Any of these or such like which are incorruptible which by their proper quality assubtiliateth concussions pierceth to the bottome of the Wounds keepeth the flesh in his naturall Caliditie and humidity perserveth from Putrifaction and naturally maketh the Flesh to joyne and grow together and that in a short space Therefore consider well which worketh better Effect ours or the Antients and use them at thy discretion A Discourse upon old Wounds which are not thorowly healed with their Remedies VVHen that Wounds are ill healed and that therein commeth Impostumations and that the part of the wounds be indurated and full of paine then use this secret of our Invention which was never yet seene nor heard of the Antients nor yet of our time but of us When thou findest such a cause wash the Wound well and make it cleane round about and then wash it with our Quintessentia Vegetabile and Bathe it well thorow for that the said Quintessentia doth open the Pores and assubtiliateth the matter and causeth the humour to come forth This being done annoynt it all over with our Magno Licore and this done within three dayes the Patient shall feele great ease and in short time after he shall be whole This is one of the most noblest Medicines that can bee made For it takes away the hardnesse healeth the Wound and comforteth the place offended A rare secret to heale Wounds of Gunshot Arrowes or such like in the Wars when hast is required IF thou wilt cure these Wounds presently joyn the parts together with speed washing it with Aqua Coelestis and Oleum Balsam● of our invention and lay a cloath wet to the same very close thereon To heale a Wound quickly VVAsh the Wound well with our Aqua Balsamo and close it up and thereupon lay a cloth of the Oyle of Frankensence and so by this meanes thou shalt heale any great Wound quickly For J have proved it infinite times to my great credit To heale a Wound quickly that is in danger of any Accidents WOunds in some parts of the Body are very dangerous of Life and especially where the Sinewes or Veynes bee cut or pierced or Veynes or Muscles be hurt or Bones broken and by an infinite of other particulars which being open or ill healed the Patient may be in danger of life because the winde entreth in and causeth paines and inflamation and therefore to avoyd all these aforesaid matters so that the wound shall have no detriment use this remedy First joyne the parts close together and put therein our Quintessence and lay a cloth wet in our Baulme and binde it fast that the ayre come not in for it is very hurtfull You shall understand that these be two of the best experienced Medicines that may be found because our Quintessence doth assubtiliate the Blood and taketh it forth and taketh away the paine And the Baulme doth warme and comfort the place offended And will not suffer any Matter to runne thereinto by any meanes for this is most true as J have proved it divers and sundry times and alwayes have had very good successe To stay the fluxe of Bloud in Wounds VVHen there is a fluxe of Blood in any wound by reason of some veyne that is cut and that the Chirurgion would stop it it is necessary that he put into it our Quintessence and then to stitch it up very close and hard and upon the wound strow the blood of a Man dryed made in powder and lay upon the wound a cloath wet in our Baulme artificially very warme and upon that binde the wound very straight with Ligaments and twice a day wash it with our Quintessentia and round about it annoynt it with our Baulme and also cast thereon our secret powder for wounds and that doe Morning and Evening every day without opening the wound and in short time it will remaine well giving you charge that the wounded person doe keepe no straight Dyet because Nature being weake relaxeth the Veynes and that causeth the fluxe of blood Another for the same FIrst stitch the wound close then cast thereon Mans blood and bind it somewhat hard so let it remaine 24. houres And when you unbind it take heed you remove nothing and cast thereon more dried blood and annoint it round about with Oleum Philosophorum Deteribinthina and Cera and bind it againe other 24. houres and bind it gently and annoynt the wound with Oyle of Frankensence and in short time it will be perfectly whole A defence to be layd upon VVounds TAke perfect Aqua-vitae of good Wine what quantity you will and put
