from bruzing and wasting There is also in many places a certaine humour which serueth to annoint the ioynts and their ligaments and the small endes of the gristles For moisture helpeth motion very much and preserueth those partes that are mooued as wee see by experience in chariot wheeles For when the axeltrees are greazed about which they mooue they doe not onely turne about more easily but also last and continue longer whereas although they were all of yron yet they woulde weare away and be set on fire of themselues if they were not annointed and moistned with some humour Nowe let vs come to consider of the couering of mans body As therefore a man vseth not one onely garment but diuers so is it with the body For first hee is clothed with three skinnes that are great long and large with which hee is couered cleane ouer from the sole of the foote to the toppe of the head The first is a little skinne very thinne which of it selfe hath no feeling being made of the second skinne which it couereth and this second skinne is made of sinewes flesh and litle veines and in some places of little arteries being as it were of a middle nature betweene the sinewes and the flesh Therefore this skinne hath feeling throughout and is not without blood as the first is There is also a third skinne vnder the second which is more fleshy and therefore it is thicker and more strong vnto which the muscles cleaue and through which very thinne arteries and productions of sinewes passe which tie it with the other skinne The fatte of the body is betweene these two skinnes which serue the whole body not onely for a couering but also for an ornament especially those that are most without which in mens bodies stand in steade of that skinne wherewith the bodies of beasts are couered Besides these three skinnes that couer all the body there are within many other particular skins of diuers sortes to couer the members that are there which the Physicions call Membranes and Tunicles with such other names agreeable to their Arte to distinguish them one from an other according to each of their offices For there are many in the head to couer folde vp and to containe the inward partes thereof and of the braine as also in the breast and consequently in other partes and members within Among the rest some are like to nettes and coiffes others resemble littl● sackes or bandes according as those members are which they are to couer seruing also for defence vnto them and to distinguish and separate the partes one from an other Wee will leaue to the Physicion to number and to distinguish them and to name euery one by their proper name and nowe come to consider the last couering which is vpon the body in certaine places especially vpon the head and that is the haire which principally aboundeth in the head both in men and women because it proceedeth out of a moyst and soft place And to the ende it might take the better roote there the skinne that is vnderneath it is very thicke and fleshy The profite of the haire is great and serueth for many thinges First it is the ornament and beauty of the head For as the face woulde bee euill fauoured and vnsightly if it were hairy so contrariwise the head woulde bee very deformed if it were skinnelesse where it is couered with haire as we may iudge by them that haue balde heades Therefore because it is the toppe of the building of mans body God woulde haue it adorned with such a couering which also standeth him in some steade to defend his braine and to consume the grossest and most fumy excrements of which the haires of the head are ingendred so that they are a kinde of purgation for it Besides it serueth for a couering to the head which it may vse at pleasure as neede requireth against both heate and colde For it doeth not alwayes neede to bee alike couered at one time and in one age as at an other Therefore a man may let them growe or cut them or shaue them cleane off as is most commodious for euery one And when they waxe gray and white through age they put men in minde of two things First that they drawe towards the graue and death to the ende they might in good time frame themselues thitherward and if they haue gone astray in youth and forgotten God that then at length they should bethinke themselues and consider that they are no more yong and that they must shortly die for although it be late yet better late then neuer But it is best to follow Salomons counsell who admonisheth yong men to remember God before the Almond tree flourish comparing an olde man that is gray and white with age to a blossomed tree by reason of the whitenes of the floures For when a man flourisheth in this sort his floures put him in minde that the tree of his body drieth vp and that it looseth his naturall strength whereas the floures of trees are testimonies of the vigor that is yet in them to beare fruit Therfore we are very miserable if we do not glorify God in our youth neither thinke vpon any other life then this For we come farre short of the life of trees and are not of so long continuance neither are wee yeerely renued as they are which seeming to be dead in winter florish and wax greene in spring time as if they became yong againe Which thing we are not to looke for in this worlde wherein we flourish contrary to trees namely in winter which is our olde age Secondly gray and white haires warneth men to haue such manners as becommeth that age and colour that they may make olde-age reuerent according to that saying of the wise man The glory of the aged is the gray head For such are those ancient men whome God in his Law commaundeth to be honoured when hee saieth Thou shalt rise vp before the horehead and honour the person of the olde man and dread thy God I am the Lorde The same consideration also ought to be in the beard which is a great ornament to the face and serueth to distinguish the sexes and likewise the ages of men vnto whome they bring authoritie and maiestie For this cause the auncients did shaue or powle their beardes and haire in the time of mourning and affliction so that when the Prophets denounced some great aduersitie and desolation they foretolde that euery head should he ●ald and cut and shauen and the beards in like manner as it appeareth in the Prophecie of Esay against Moab and such like Wee 〈◊〉 also that Hanun king of the Ammonites shaued off the halfe of the beards of Dauids messengers to bring them in derision whereupon they would not shewe themselues openly to the people vntil their beards were growen Concerning

ASER It is the saying of an ancient Philosopher that they which saile vpon the water are not aboue two or three fingers breadth distant from death namely so farre off as the thicknes of the plankes and timber of the ship is in which they are caried into the Sea For if that timber were taken from vnder them they cannot auoyd drowning vnlesse they can swimme like fishes But not to saile on the sea or vpon a lake or riuer to approch neere to death we haue it a great deale neerer vs when we cary about vs infinite causes and meanes whereby we are euery houre in danger of stifling and as it were of drowning and that both waking sleeping eating and drinking within doores and without at all times and in al places whersoeuer we become Insomuch that of what estate and disposition soeuer men are we are oftentimes astonished to heare tydings of a mans death sooner then of his sickenesse whom wee saw not long before mery cheerefull and in good health Now we may learne some chiefe causes hereof by this dayes handling of that matter Subiect which was yesterday propounded to bee discoursed vpon And first we must know that besides the distribution of all the humours together with the blood into all parts of the bodie by the veines and that for the causes before learned there is yet another meane whereby these humors especially the flegmatike humour which is of the nature of the water ascend vp vnto the braine by reason of vapours arising vpward out of the stomacke like to the vapour of a potte seething on the fire with liquor in it and like to vapours that ascend vp from the earth into the ayre of which raine is engendred Now when these vapours are come vp to the braine they returne to their naturall place and into the nature of those humours of which they were bred as the vapours that are held in the aire turne againe into the same nature of water of which they came Therefore as the waters are contained within the cloudes in the region of the aire allotted vnto them so is it with our braine which is of a colde nature and of a spongie substance fitte for that purpose So that we alwayes carie within it as it were cloudes full of water and of other humours that distil and runne downe continually by the members and passages which God hath appointed to that ende as wee haue alreadie hearde And these places albeit they serue especially to purge seuerall humors as hath beene tolde vs yet oftentimes they voide them altogether both by reason of their mingling and coniunction as of their ouer great abundance Yea many times they are so plentifull namely the flegmatike humour that because the braine cannot sufficiently discharge it selfe of them by the ordinary way these humors ouerflowe on all sides wheresoeuer they can finde any vent and issue euen as when a thundering cloude bursteth asunder So that the water runneth not downe as it were a milde and gentle raine but as a mighty flood that bringeth great ruines with it or as a riuer passing his ordinary course breaketh downe both banke and wall and ouerfloweth euery where Therefore we may well say that many times we haue floods of water enclosed within our heads and braines when wee neuer thinke of it nor yet consider in what danger we are Which the more secrete and vnknowen it is vnto vs the more perillous it is and greatlier to be feared especially considering it is so neere vs and that wee haue fewer meanes to auoyde it as wee haue daily examples in many who being in health and mery are sodainely choked by catarrhes which like to floods of waters runne downewards as the very name deriued from the Grecians doeth import as much or by some sodaine Apoplexie how healthy soeuer before they seemed to bee Others also there are who if they be not presently choked with such floods from the brain yet they are taken with palsies lamenesse and impotencie in all their members or at leastwise in some of them as if some waterflood had caried them away so that nothing had beene saued but the bare life and that more fraile and miserable then death it selfe I speake not of gowtie persons who although they be not assaulted with such great and vehement floods of waters and with euill and superfluous humours so that some few droppes onely of which they are so called fall vpon some partes of them yet are they greatly tormented constrained to crie out and that oftentimes in extreme distresse Which consideration ought to stirre vs vp to know wherein our life and preseruation thereof consisteth and of whom we holde it And on the other side although we had no examples of floods and inundations of waters of earthquakes and such other
