Putrefaction Passive seek Qualities Putrefaction is commonly known to signifie rotting Qualities Qualities active are named heat and cold because they are more apt and able to work then to be wrought And contrarie waies driness and moisture are named passive or suffering qualities because they are more ready to be altered by the working of hea● and cold then to work themselves howbei● yet they doe work also The four times of sicknesse There be in sickness four principall parts of time to be observed of Physitians The beginning of sickness the increase or augmenting the standing or chief force of it and the declination or asswaging of it The beginning The beginning is from the time that sicknesse hath overcome mans strength and brought him to lie down till there doe appear manifest signes of concoction of the matter The increase whereof the disease cometh at which time the sickness waxeth fiercer and fiercer and while it so continueth that time is called the Increase and augmenting of sickness but when the violence of the sicknesse is at the most The state so that the rage of it is at one stay and neither increases nor decreases that time is called the standing stay state or chief strength of the sickness And after that the furious rage of sickness doth abate and calm his cruell stormes then is the declination of the sickness Declination after which if the Patient escape as very few die in the declination then followeth recovery to health again And these be the four generall or universall times of sickness Beside these there be other times more particular Times of the yeer wherof how to speak I need not The diversity of times in the yeer are duly to be observed for they do much alter mans body The Spring The Spring time increaseth blood and bringeth all the parts of the body to a temperance as nigh as it can For it of all other times is the most temperate neither excessively hot nor cold neither moist nor dry but of a just temperature as Galen proveth abundantly in his first Book of Temperaments where he doth much blame them that name it to be hot and moist which he saith is of all other the most pestilent state of air This Spring after Galens minde doth begin about the tenth day of March and endeth about the 14. day of April so that it lasteth but 6. weeks and 2. dayes For at the rising of the Pleiades which is now in our time about the 24. day of Aprill he saith that Summer doth begin Summer Which Summer is in complexion hot and dry and therefore meet to increase choler which in that time doth abound The Summer lasteth 21. weeks Harvest Harvest doth begin after Galens minde about the 17. day of September and lasteth 7. weekes The Harvest is dry of complexion but neither only hot nor only cold but is distemperate in heat and cold For in the morning and evening it is cold and at noon it is hot So may it not be called justly as men do name it cold and dry In this time doth melancholy increase At the end of Harvest about the seventh day of November Winter doth Winter begin which time is cold and moist and therefore increaseth flegm which is like in complexion unto it And the Winter lasteth till the 10. day of March so is it in length about 17. weeks and a half and then beginneth the Spring time again And this is the course of the year after Physick Other men which intreat of Husbandry Another sort of these times do part the yeer into 4. equall parts giving 3. months to every time Unto the Spring they give February March and April To the Summer May June and July Unto Harvest August September October And unto winter they appoint November December and January Why the Physitians part the yeer one way and writers of husbandry another way at more convenient time I will declare Vertues Attractive Vertues naturall are four The first is That which draweth nourishment into due places and that is called the attractive vertue The second Alterative is it that altereth the nourishment into a due form to nourish the body and is called the alterative vertue The third is that vertue Retentive which keepeth in the good nourishment till the alterative vertue hath duly altered it and therefore is called the retentive vertue The fourth is called the vertue expulsive Expulsive because his office is to expel those superfluous excrements which are left when the other vertues have done their office duly FINIS
