3. B. de Tristibus And of this there is no question at all to be made But here lieth the question whether or no every Wound inflicted by the bullet out of a Gun be poysoned and this I deny And therefore like as we cannot truly conclude that because that Wound which is inflicted by a poysoned Sword poysoned therefore that all Wounds inflicted by the Sword are mortal so also we can no more rightly and truly conclude thus if there be some cerrain Wounds made by Gun shot that are poysoned therefore they are all such Neither is there any reason why any one with Paraeus in his 10. B. Apologism 2. should think that there is m Fire power enough and more then enough to dissipate all the strength of the poyson if any should chance to be poured upon the bullet For as we shall afterwards prove and as even Paraeus himself granteth those bullets out of Guns can by no means get any such great heat as that thereby like as by Fire the poyson if any such there be present may be dissipated and consumed But now in what manner these bullets may be infected whether only by being anoynted as Paraeus is of opinion or else by an infusion of the very poysoned substance it self which he denieth of this I dispute not And yet nevertheless I do not think it a thing altogether impossible that some poysoned substance if not vegetable yet Mineral may be given which by infusion may be mingled together with the Lead and there remain But I shall not contend at all in the maintaining of this my Opinion neither shall I take much pains to discover whether there be any such yea or no. And whereas they would by the instance they give of the Lightening prove their opinion we answer that there is not so great a resemblance between the Lightening and the Report or blow of a Gun as they think For indeed that there is oftentimes in Lightening a certain kinde of poysonousness it cannot be denied But in the blow or Noise of a Gun there is no such thing as we have before already proved out of its Composition Neither doth any flame from the kindled pouder penetrate unto the Wound it self but whatsoever the bullet doth it performeth by its violence and motion after the manner of other things that are cast forth with violence as Arrows and Stones cast forth of slings But now for what reason things thus cast forth by a violent and vehement motion should work such effects here is no fit place for me to dispute And if there be any resemblance at all between the Lightening and Guns this likeness is rather in the Fire from the Gun-pouder being kindled and cast forth then in the Leaden bullets And Lastly Their telling of us that in some certain battles such as have been wounded by these kind of Bullets they have most of them died of their Wounds neither doth this prove the poysonousness of these Wounds For neither doth this happen in all battles as we likewise told you before but very many have been Cured and recovered of the most dangerous and desperate Wounds And this if it shall somtimes happen it is to be ascribed either unto the Malice of the enemy infecting these bullets with poyson or else to the ill disposition of the wounded bodies or lastly even unto the vitious Air it self For it is a thing well known that the Bodies of Souldiers by reason of that ill course of Dyet they keep are very much disposed unto the Plague and other Diseases in whom Wounds if any happen unto them may easily prove Mortal like as the Wounds of Hydropick and other Cacochymical persons are wont to be very dangerous And there is likewise no doubt to be made but that the Air becoming impure and corrupt both by the unsesonableness of the weather the Crazy Constitution of the yeer and the impurities and nastiness that alwaies followeth the Camp may cause the wounds to be the more dangerous And evermore in such like Wounds the ill disposition of the Bodies and the Vitious Constitution of the Air bring more danger unto the party then in other Wounds inflicted and made without any bullet For in these latter there is no such great need of suppuration but in those other Wounds that are not made without much bruising there is altogether great need of Suppuration and Suppurating Medicaments Neither without these can such Wounds by bruising be any waies Cured which said wounds in Bodies that are ill disposed do very easily get a putridness which the feavers that follow and the bad Symptoms are easily able to excite Neither indeed is this any new kind of wound For although that the invention of Guns and this casting forth of the Leaden bullets be new yet the manner of the wound is not at all new as being wel known both unto Hippocrates and Galen to wt Contusion or bruising And yet nevertheless our expert Chirurgeons do not it rest themselves in the alone use of Suppuratives but if there be any fear of a putridness nigh at hand which may very easily produce a Gangrene they then use the Aegyptiack Vnguent and other Medicaments that may prevent and keep off the Gangrene as we shall anon have occasion to speak further hereof when we come to shew you the Cure which yet notwithstanding ought so to be ordered and contrived that they may not altogether hinder the suppuration since that no wound made with Contusion or bruising can possibly be healed unless that which is bruised be converted into Pus Now as for that other Opinion of those who assert that there is a burning or Empyreuma conjoyned with these wounds neither have these any firm Reasons to ground their opinion upon For that our German Physitians and Chirurgeons call these their Medicaments that are in these wounds at the very first administred Pulver le schung that is Extinguishers of the Empyreuma o● burning that happeneth from the Gun-pouder this is grounded upon a false supposition for they who at first gave this appellation unto these Medicaments did falsely beleeve that there was an Empyreuma joyned with these wounds and that this Empyreuma or burning was first of all to be extinguished But now all those Medicaments perform nothing else but that they either turn into Pus all that in the wound that is bruised and so hinder and prevent putridness or else they keep off and turn away the inflammation if there be any nigh at hand Now that these suppurating Medicaments differ somwhat from those suppurations that are wont to be administred in other Wounds and Ulcers there is no wonder in this For above in the first Part and 16. Chapt. and likewise a little before in the 18 Chap. of this fourth Part touching a Wound with Contusion we told you that in Contusions those hot and moist suppuratives have no place at all but that from the use of them a putridness and oftentimes also a Gangrene is
