Here followeth the 5 Section The Argument THe fift Book or Section is variable yet almost it doth wholly intreat of the diseases of women of the good and badde dispositions of the wombe 1 A Conuulsion by taking Elleborus is deadlie 2 A Convulsion after a wound is pernicious and deadly 3 The hicket or a convulsion after a copious flux of bloud is euill 4 After an immoderat purgation which the Greeks call Hypercatharsis a convulsion or hicket is euill 5 If any drunken man do suddainly waxe dumbe he shall die with convulsion vnlesse hee be taken with a feuer or presently recouer his speech at that hower in which the surfet is dissolued 6 Those which are taken with the cramp or distention named Tetanus do die within fowre daies but if they shall ouerpasse them they recouer their health 7 The falling sicknesse which is before ripenesse of age is remoued awaie but that which hapneth after the 25. yeer of the age doth for the most part accompany vs vnto death 8 Those which are sick of a plurisie vnlesse they bee purged vpwardes within fowrteene daies shall haue the disease turned into an impostume 9 A consumption most especially hapneth in those ages which are fro the 18 yeere to the thirty and fift yeere 10 Those which haue the euill cause of the squinancie conuerted into the lungs do drie within seuen daies but if they escape them they are affected with corrupt and filthy matter called empiema 11 If the spittle which they auoid by coughing that are affected with a consumption doe stinke strongly being cast vpon the coles and the haires of the head doe fall off it is a pernicious deadly signe 12 If a flux of the belly happen to them which haue their haire falling awaie by a consumption death is neare at hand 13 Those which cough forth frothy bloud do ●etch and drawe the same out of the lungs 14 If a fluxe of the bellie come vpō him which is in a consumption it is a pernicious signe 15 Those which are infected with an impostume by a plurisie if they be purged from the corrupt matter within fortie daies after the breaking of the apostume are cured or otherwise they passe into a consumption 16 Hot water too often vsed bringeth these discommodities tendernesse of the flesh distemperature of the sinewes heauinesse drowsinesse of the minde fluxes of blod swounings faintings of life to which death is incident 17 But the vse of colde water bringeth convulsions the crampes called Tetani blackness cold shakings vsuall in some feuers 18 Colde water is hurtfull to the bones teeth sinews braine and marrow of the backe but that which is hot is good and profitable 19 Wee must heate those things which are ouercold except those which powre forth bloud or are inclined to powre forth bloud in short time 20 Colde water biteth and nippeth vlcers hardneth the skinne hindreth the sorenesse from maturation of the corrupt matter causeth blacknesse bringeth forth colde shiuering fittes of agues convulsions crampes and distention of the sinewes 21 Notwithstanding ther is some time when in the crampe without an vlcer in a well flesht young man in the middest of sommer plentifull powring out of colde water doth call back the heate and so the heate doth dissolue the crampe 22 Hot water yeeldeth vnto vs a great token of security and safety in that vlcer and sore in which it causeth ripe and wel digested matter it softneth and mollifieth the skinne it maketh it thinne it dooth appease paine it mitigateth and asswageth colde shakings convulsions the cramps named Tetani it dissolueth heauinesse and paine of the head it profiteth broken bones very much especially if they bee bare without flesh and principally in the head also it profiteth those things which are mortified exulcerated through colde Lastly it is profitable to eating vlcers in the sūdamēt priuie members wombe bladder to all those hot water is a friend and comforter but cold water is an enemie and a destroyer 23 We must vse cold water to those sores from whence bloud dooth issue or is about to issue and not to be applyed in the same place by which it issueth but to those places from whence it floweth And if anie inflammation or burning of the parts do incline to a red and bloudie colour with fresh cleare bloud apply colde things or cold water vnto them but if the inflāmations bee inueterate and old it maketh them black Also it helpeth the fiery inflammation named Erysipelas if it be not vlcerated For being vlcerated it hurteth 24 Things that are verie colde as snowe and yee are hurtfull to the breast they procure coughs they cause ruptures of the veins and also rhumes 25 Cold water powred forth aboundantly doth ease and diminish the tumours and paines of the ioints which are without vlceration also gowty swellings and pains and convulsions for the most part dissolueth dolour and pain for a smal benumming hath the force of dissoluing and putting awaie of paine 26 Water that is quickely made hot quickly cold is most light 27 It is good for them which haue great desire to drinke in the night to fall a sleepe being verie thirstie 28 A fumigation or perfume of odoriferous spyces dooth bring forth the terms It would also be profitable for manie other things if it did not breede heauinesse and pain of the head 29 Thou shalt purge a woman with childe if it bee needful the fowrth month after conception and so forwards vntill the beginning of the seuenth month but those that come neere the seauenth month not so much but the foetus being yonger or elder thou shalt abstaine 30 A woman with child a veine being opened aborteth is deliuered before due time and so much the rather if the foetus bee of any bignesse 31 It is pernicious deadlie if a woman great with childe bee taken with anie sharp disease 32 A woman is cured from vomiting bloud her mōthly tearms issuing forth 33 A flux of bloud at the nose is good and healthfull to a womā her flowers failing contrarie to the due course of nature 34 If the wombe bee verie laxatiue and loose to a woman with childe there is danger of aborcement 35 Sneesing hapning to a woman grieued with suffocation of the wombe or hauing a painfull and difficult deliuerance is good 36 The monthly courses being discoloured neyther comming forth alwaies in the same maner and time do declare that a purgation is necessarie for the woman 37 If the paps be suddenlie extenuated and become lanke to a woman with childe aborcement dooth follow 38 If one of the dugs be extenuated and become lank to a woman cōceiued with child with twins she bringeth forth one of them before due time And if the right dug becom slēder she bringeth forth the male childe before due time but if the left dug becom lank she maketh aborcement of the female 39 If any woman neither with

or occasion but when they weep without a cause it is an euill thing in anie diseases whatsoeuer they be 3 In what Quartan feuers so euer blood shall issue forth of the nostrils it is an euill thing 4 If sweats be caused in the iudiciall daies they are dangerous especially such as issue forth from the forehead like drops of water and bubling water pipes beeing verie colde and aboundant for it must needs bee that such sweate commeth forth with much force long labour and strayning 5 Depression of the bellie after a long disease is euill 6 Incision doth cure those vlcers which are not cured by medicines and those which are not cured by incision are cured by cauterizing but those which are not cured by the cautier are iudged incurable 7 Consumptions are ingendred from the 18. yeer of the age vnto the thirtie and fift yeere 8 The tongue blacke and bloudish when anie of these signes are absent then the euill and maladie is not forcible and signifieth lesse paine 9 The right testicle being cold and hauing a convulsion is a messenger of death 10 The nailes blacke the toes of the feet colde hanging downe or stooping forwards doe declare that death is verie neere 11 Also the extreame parts of the fingers being colde are a signification of death drawing neare 12 Also the lips ashe coloured resolued and effeeblished disordered and peruerted are deadly signes 13 If the eyes bee darkned or cannot abide the light also he which is oppressed with much sleepe great heat is without hope 14 If anie one become raging by little little with furious madnesse if anie one doe not knowe them with whom he hath beene familiar if he doe not hear nor vnderstand it is a deadlie signe 15 Those are more euident signes to them which shall die a little while after if the ventricles or cauities bee lifted and heaued vp swel and bee puffed vp with winde Finis Aphorismorum A BRIEFE discourse vpon the nature substance of the Ey AN eye is a member of substance roūd whol and hard as a ball which may aptly be resembled to a bright bason full of cleer resplendent water fixed in the wel or spring of the hed to minister light to the liuing body by influence of the visible spirit sent from the Cell of phantasie or cōmon wits by a sinew that is called Nervus Opticus with helpe of a greater light ministred without Right well may the place wherin nature hath placed the eye bee tearmed the fountaine or spring of the eye in respect of the abundance of waterie humidities and teares which are often seene to issue flow thereat which happeneth vpon diuers occasions as somtime of inward sorrow and heauinesse of the disstressed heart sometimes of ioy and gladnesse immoderate yea and otherwhiles it proceedeth of the onlie superfluitie abundance of humours ingendred of vnnaturall and distemperate coldnesse And this may suffice to declare briefly what an eye is It resteth now that we shew of what parts it doth consist Touching which matter a certain learned writer called Iohannicius in his introductiō affirmeth that the eie hath seuen tunicles or coates fowre colours and three humours The first of the said tunicles or coats he calleth Retina the second Secondina the third Sclerotica the fourth Aranea the fift Vuea the sixt Cornea the seauenth and last Subiunctiua Of the colours he saith the first is blacke the second Subpallidus that is whitish the thirde Niueus the fowrth Glaucus Now of the humors according to his mind one is called vitreus humor i. a glassie humour the second is called albugineus i. resembling the color of the white of an egge the third is called Crystallinus that resembleth the clearenesse of Crystall And this as I haue expressed is the iudgement opinion of Iohannicius Neuerthelesse I my selfe vpon knowledge attayned by cutting dead bodies am moued to dissent from him both in coats and also in colours Therfore you shal vnderstand my minde also in this matter I find in the studious dissection of the eye the tunicle called salua trix which saueth and keepeth the humors ordeined naturally to be in the member of which duetie it hath that name Secōdly the tunicle or coat called discolorata so named because that while it remains in the eye in it self it hath properly no colour but is varied and diuersly affected according to the diuersities of colours which appeare in the eye For when the crystalline humour is neere the tunicle of the eies then loe they seem of no colour But whē it is deep within them it giueth a shew of 3. colours wherfore I may well conclude that the eie of it selfe it discoloured and of no colour properlie Yet this by obseruation is found to be verie true they which haue the humours very lowe and deepe set in the bodies of their eyes by reason whereof they seeme to be of black colour haue their sight best for a time but when they approache vnto thirtie yeeres and vpward it beginneth to faile and appaire And such as haue the humours placed in the middle or meane region of the eye commonly are indued with good sight both young and olde the colour of their eyes is menable black which is gray Howbeit it is seene that this sort of eies is more subiect vnto Opthalmies Pannicles with diuers other euell affects then those that be of other colours Moreouer I say those that haue the humors more outwardly vnderneath the tunicles as their eyes appeare vnto sight more various and diuers coloured inclining much vnto whitenesse so their visible facultie is not very good neyther in youth nor in age The reason is because in such maner of eyes aboundeth humours and teares more then in others For when the visible spirits descend down by the hollow optique sinewes find about the tunicles of the eye abundance and plentie of vicious humours they be the sooner scattered dissolued from the humours by occasion whereof the sight is more weak feeble in them then in gray eyes which before we called menable blacke And they that haue the sayde graie eyes may seeme to haue their sight more durable for that the crystalline humour being resident in the midst maketh the visible spirits to rest and staie there which by the glasen humour and the saide tunicle are so preserued and kept that they may not readily be dispersed But in them which haue the humours depressed and kept down which as we said before maketh the eie to look blacke the sight is better then in other because the crystalline humour is deep within and therfore the visible spirit comming from the Optique nerue at hand findeth the larger space possesseth plentifullie all the cauitie and hollowness of the eies before it passeth out from the glasen humor and the vppermore tunicles But as I said it dureth not in manie folke vntill
