it HEnce it comes to passe that pregnant or breeding women whose imagination is most vehement because of the Starre of the Child which upon some singular longing doth most powerfully move them doe by the force of an inflamed or exalted imagination when they faile to come by that Object they long for impresse into the very child the perfect forme or figure of it yea it oftentimes causeth miscarriage and the death of the Child as may be seen in this following History A certaine woman great with child seeing a Baker carrying Bread into the Oven with his Doublet off longed for a peece of the Bakers shoulder and when any other meat was offered unto her or brought in to her sight she would presently fall to vomit Her Husband distrest betwixt love and pitty offered such a large summe of money to the Baker that he consented suffered her to bite off two morsels of his flesh but being not able to endure the pain the third time the woman presently fell in Labour and was delivered of three boyes whereof two were alive and the third dead Mizaldus in his first Century relates it out of Langius To this first Division must be referred those unfortunate Aspirers who affecting some great knowledge or science and missing to attain to it by reason of a blockish stupidity or imbecillity of apprehension come to be distracted and stark mad IV Secondly The Imagination comes tomes to be inflamed when by some unexpected Object or Accident a man or woman is suddainly frighted SUch Accidents prove oftentimes very pernicious A causeless imaginary fear in times of infection hath cast many into the Plague and the Plague hath beene their death There lives at Gueilburg a certaine Bakers wife who being young with Child went into the adjoyning Woods or Forrest to gather sticks and being very intent in gathering with her face towards the ground a Citizen of that place comming suddainly at her did so fright her that not knowing well what to doe she struck one hand into the other and continued rubbing them together with a very strong compression for a good while This woman was shortly after delivered of a Son with one hand onely which Childe I my selfe saw and taught there in the publick free-Schoole In the like manner some men that have been frighted by Phantasms and spiritual Apparition in the night time have instantly fallen into grievous diseases and some have dyed Others by the excesse and violence of the horrour had the hairs of their heads changed from the native colour into a quite contrary especially that part which they chanced to touch at the time they were so frighted I my self have known two who affirmed that such a change did happen to them upon the like occasion the one had halfe his Beard turned gray the other had part of the haires of his head turned perfect white the rest retaining still their first colour V. Thirdly The imagination is inflamed when the stomack is offended by some object of sence SUch perturbations happen often and men are frequently inclined to vomit when they looke earnestly upon those Ejectments which another hath cast up VI Fourthly The imaginationis in flamed when any person imagines or fancies that paine or trouble he is in to be intolerable for him and incurable HEnce it comes to passe that men despairing of their health or redemption contrive their owne death and make themselves away CHAP. 10. Of violent Illation which is the sixth and last cause of the extrarious Cause VIolent Illation is performed two wayes Corporally and Spiritually I. Corporally when a man or woman is wounded thrust or shot or fallen or their bones broken II. Spiritually when by the meanes and ministry of evill spirits a man or woman is either blinded or maimed or any extraneous visible matter is invisibly and without manifest violence conveyed into and lodged in their bodies or when they are by any other preternatural wayes and meanes set upon and af●licted THat such things may and have been done we shall prove by the truth of this following relation In the year of our Lord 1539. there lived in the village of Fugesta within the Bishoprick of E●steter a certaine Husbandman named Ulrich Neusesser who was grievously pained in the Hypochondriacal Region with most violent and sharp stitches whose fury and persistance made him send for a Chirurgion and incision being made there was found and taken out of his side an Iron Naile which lay under the skin without the least external symptome or discoloration of the part This notwithstanding the pain ceased not but was dayly exasperated and did more and more increase whereupon this miserable man resolving with himselfe that there could be no cure for him but death snatched a knife out of the hand of his attendant and did therewith cut his own own throat Upon the third day after when his body was to be drest for buriall there were present Eucherius Rosenbader of Weisenburg and John of Ettenstet a Town in the Dukedome of Bavaria both Chirurgions who in the presence of as many persons as came to the Funeral did cut up the Body and in the fore part of his belly betwixt the Cartilages and the Navill towards the side-region there were found and taken out and seen by them all a prodigious and wonderfull ●ight ● a round and long peece of wood foure knives of steel made partly with edges and partly with teeth like a saw and two peeces of sharp and rough Iron each of them being more then a span in length and underneath all these a great lock of haire wrapt close together and made up in the forme of a Ball Mizaldus in his sixth Century relates this sad History out of Langius CHAP.

What and how manifold the Cure is 2. How a Physician ought to be qualified 3. Of what sort kind or quality the medicines or meanes of the Cure ought to be 4. Out of what things those Remedies must be sought and taken 5. Why Medicines sometimes cannot restore and introduce health 6. How the Remedies or Medicaments ought to be administred 7. How the sick man must carry or dispose of himselfe while he is in a course of Physick Section 1. What and how manifold the Cure is I. The cure of Diseases is an operation by which a sick person is restored to his former health and his sicknesse what ever it be quite expelled and radically extirpated II.
