Practicae Medicinae LONDON Printed for IOHN CLARK and are to be sold at his Shop 〈…〉 To the Reader CHRISTIAN READER This Argument of the Weapon-Salve is a thing often talked of in private Meetings among Friends and not seldome disputed of by Learned men in their publike Writings Nor can any man with reason blame them for sifting out the Truth especially in a point that involveth a case of Conscience in it the mistaking whereof might breed an offence against GOD and his Sacred truth But yet they are blame worthy who in searching for the Truth doe fly upon their Adversarie with uncivill language In which kinde I must needes confesse Mr. FOSTER hath exceeded the bounds of Christian charitie Hee hath in mine opinion the Truth on his side and hath cleared it well but yet hee should have remembred the Apostles rule 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Ephes 4.15 That wee speake the truth or as others translate it follow the truth in love Not forgetting that even the Heathen could say (a) Tuscul Q. lib. 2. fol. 176.

SA BAKER THE VVEAPON-SALVES MALADIE THat which hath beene said in the precedent Chapter concerning the opinion of Caesar Magatus and Ludovicus Septalius of the Cure of Wounds puts mee in minde of that Oyntment which is commonly called the Weapon-Salve For as the greene Wounds of the flesh as is said in the precedent Chapter are healed without much adoe and without the frequent opening of the Wound or applying many Salves onely by the benefit of meere Nature just so those Wounds which are thought to bee Cured by the Weapon-salve I think to bee cured by the help of Nature onely But since some others determine the contrary let us in this place consider what is to be thought of this Weapon-Salve And first of all wee will lay downe the severall descriptions of this Weapon-Salve and then the use of it and then the things they use to produce in its defence Most men attribute this Vnguent to Paracelsus or affirme it certainly to be divulged by him The description of Paracelsus Paracelsus himself Archidox Magicae lib. 1. giveth this description of it Take Scull-Mosse two Ounces Mummy halfe an ounce Mans fat two ounces Mans blood halfe an ounce Linseed Oyle two Drams Oyle of Roses and Bole Armoniack of each one ounce Mixe them together and make an Oyntment Into the which hee puts a Stick dipp'd in the Blood of the wounded person and dryed and bindeth up the wound with a rowler dipt every day in the hot Vrine of the wounded person For the annointing of the Weapon hee addes moreover Honey one ounce Bulls fat one dram Porta his description of it c. Iohannes Baptista Porta Mag Nat lib. 8. cap. 12. Writes thus of it The Weapon-Salve which was long since given by Paracelsus to Maximilianus Caesar and by him used and made very chary of so long as hee lived was communicated to mee by a Nobleman of his Court If the Weapon which hath wounded any one shall bee brought or a Stick dipp'd in the same Blood the affected person shall be Cured although he be distant farre away Take Mosse or Scurffe that groweth thick on a Mans scull left to the open ayre and Mans fat of each two Ounces Mummy and Mans blood of each halfe an ounce Linseed Oyle Turpentine and Bole Armoniack of each one ounce Let all these things bee brayed together in a Morter and kept in a long and narrow pot Dip the Weapon into the Vnguent and there let it lye Let the person hurt in the morning cleanse his Wound with his owne water and so bind it up without any thing else put to it and the wounded person shall bee cured without any paine Crollius himself also The description of Crollius attributeth it to Paracelsus and calleth it the Sympatheticall or Starry oyntment of Paracelsus and describeth it thus Take Wild-Boares grease and Beares grease of each foure ounces The elder the Beasts are the better is their Fat and first let the Fat of eyther beast boyle softly in Red Wine over a gentle fire for the space of halfe an houre and then powre it out upon cold water and let all the Fat that swims at top bee gathered up with a spoone and whatsoever sinkes to the bottome let it be cast away Then take two * A measure conteyning 18. Ounces Sextarios of Earth-wormes wash'd eyther in Wine or in Water partch them in some Bakers oven in a cover'd pot yet take heed they burne not and then let them bee beaten to powder Take of this powder The dryed braines of a wilde Boare Sweet red Saunders Mummy and Blood-stone of each one Ounce Then take the Mosse of the scull of a Man kill'd by some violent death scraped off in the increase of the Moone shee being in a good house as of Venus if it may be not of Mars or Saturne in quantity about the weight of two Filberds and of these broken mixt together with the Fat let the Oyntment bee made

according to Art and kept safely in a close Glasse or gally-pot for your use If perchance in time this Oyntment should wax dry it may bee made supple and moyst againe with the foresaid Fat or Virgin-honey Let this oyntment bee made the Sunne being in Libra Concerning the Vse and Efficacie thereof hee writeth thus This Cure is done by the magnetique attractive power of this Salve caused by the Starres which by the mediation of the ayre is carried and adjoyned to the Wound that so the Spirituall operation thereof may bee effected It is caused I say by a Starry and Elementary conjunction For as the heate of the Sunne doth joyne it self with the Earth so doth the * Perficar●● Balsome with the Wound the Sunne departing the heate departs so here likewise There bee then Three things which by this Oyntment doe worke this wonderfull effect First Sympathy of Nature Second the influence of the Celestiall bodies perfecting its operation by the Elements Third a Balsome which hath a power of healing and is naturally given to every man By this Oyntment are all wounds healed by whatsoever weapon blow or throw soever they are made or unto what Sex soever they are inflicted yet so that neither one of the Nerves or Arteries or one of the principall Members bee hurt so that the Weapon may bee had though the Patient be many miles from us And because it is of a conglutinating suppurating and renewing nature it suffers not any hurtfull Symptome to grow if it be rightly applyed First The manner of applying it let the Weapon with which the man is wounded be annointed every day once if necessity require and the wound be great otherwise every second or third day will serve Let it bee kept in a cleane linnen cloath in a warme place not too hot least there accrue any hurt to the Patient and beware that the Weapon fall not downe nor the winde blow on it in a cold place for it will force the patient to madnesse Secondly before you annoynt the Wound consider whether the wound be made by a thrust or point-wise which if it bee then let the weapon be annoynted above and not below descending downe otherwise it will hurt the patient Thirdly but if you cannot know how deepe or in what manner the Weapon went into the flesh you may annoynt it all otherwise it sufficeth to annoynt the very place with which the hurt was made Fourthly it is needlesse to sow up the wound as Barber-Surgions doe but onely to binde it up every day with a cleane cloath dipp'd in the Vrine of the Patient Fiftly that day wherein any one doth annoynt the Weapon let him abstaine from Venery Sixtly before the annoynting of the Weapon let the blood of the wounded person be speedily stanched Seaventhly in Fracturies or breaking of bones you may adde some of the powder of great Walwort or the rootes of black Hellebore to the oyntment Having the Weapon with the which any one hath bin hurt and desireth to know whether the Patient will live or dye you shall thus try it If you sprinkle powder of red Saunders and Blood-stone upon the Weapon warmed over a few coales so as one may well hold his hand upon it if it sweat drops of Blood the patient shall dye if not he shall escape But if you would know whether your Patient bee temperate in his drink or other necessaries it is known if there appeare spots of bloud in the weapon if there be none hee carryeth himselfe well And note also first if you get not the weapon or sword yet any cut or violent hurt of the flesh out of which issueth bloud may be cured by this Oyntment if that a little Sallow sticke dipp'd in the bloody cut the bloud sticking on it beeing dryed not at the heate of the Sunne or fire but of it selfe be put into the fore-sayd Oyntment kept in a close boxe or glasse and there left in it Secondly if it be a great deepe wound it may be cleansed every morning and bound up with a fresh cloth without any other use of extrenuous Oyles Ointments or any such like and so this wound is cured of it selfe howsoever inflicted a little sticke once dipp'd into the bloody wound or cut and put in the Ointment in the Box availeth to a full cure Thirdly but so often as any new wound is to be cured it requires also a new sticke Fourthly but if the wound will not bleed it must bee so long scarified with the little sticke till it bleed So also in curing the Tooth-ach the Tooth that aketh is to be scarified with a pen-knife till it bleed and then annoint the pen-knife with this Oyntment after the blood is dryed into it and the paine will presently cease If a Horse be pricked in the foot with a nayle draw out the nayle and annoint it and the horse foot will bee forthwith cured without suppuration After the same manner may any creature that hath flesh and bones be cured Oswaldus Gabelchover in Practic Germanic describeth it thus Take Bores grease and Beares grease of each a pound they must be dissolved and have red Wine powred into them Then he addeth powder of Blood stones one ounce Red saunders sixe drammes Prepared Wormes two drams Mosse of a dead mans scull as much as can bee had So he mixeth it that it may make an oyntment concerning the use it is even the same that Crollius hath Others have this description Take the Lard of a wilde Bore dissolved at the fire and powred upon water as much as shall suffice Powder of prepared Earth-wormes Blood stone Red sanders and Mosse of a dead mans scull as much as shall suffice Mixe it at the fire Iohannes Wittichius omitteth the Mosse and thinketh it mattereth but little whether it be used or not Neither addes he Mummy nor Fat nor Blood which thing also others doe And I my selfe knew one who professed this Cure who made this Oyntment as oft as he pleased onely with the fat of a tame common Boare and some few other things without eyther Mosse or any thing at all had out of the body of man Iacobus Colerus that Polyprag non Colerus his description lib. 18. Oeconomiae cap. 154. giveth this description Take Wilde Boares and Beares grease of each halfe a pound Tame Boares and Beares grease of each halfe a pound Mosse of a mans scull an handfull Earth-wormes Mens 5 4. Blood-stone two ounces Red saunders and Great Comfry roots of each iij. ounces Mingle them with wine make an oyntment Of the time of making this Oyntment they agree not Crollius will have it made the Sunne being in Libra others confine the time in more narrow limits onely to the 10. or 11. of September Others at any time The use of this Oyntment hath beene before largely describ'd by Crollius The manner of using it so that I thinke it needlesse to repeate it The maine point is
