A Definition of Wounds by their causes A Wound is a solution seperation and recent breach of unity of that that before was a continuity with out putrified matter which corruption giveth the name of an Ulcer to the solution and no more a Wound The causes of Wounds are duall viz. First by the violence of bodies without life as we simply call an Incised wound as when it is caused by edged Instruments Secondly we call it a Stab or puncture caused by theforce of Daggers and the like Thirdly we call those Contused wounds caused by violent use of the object being some weighty thing cast as a Stone or stroake with a Staffe or their similies against the subject receiving their forces differing in their appellations by the diversity of their causes Or secondly wounds are caused by living things as a wound that is of Biting scratching and the like and for these causes they differ in their appellatious Also the differencie of Wounds are taken eyther from their causes by which they are inflicted or from their accidents viz. the indication of the place wherein they are scituated Also the place maketh difference thus eyther they happen in the similar parts as the Flesh Artery Veyne c. or in the organicall or instrumentall parts as some intire and whole bulke truncke or fully compleat member or limbe viz. The Head Necke Brest Belly c. Wounds of the Head grow more particular because that parts belonging thereto be of more note as the Face Nose Lippes Eyes and Eares wounds of the limbes arc of the Shoulders Armes Thighes and Legs Of the similar parts also some are Sanguine as the flesh whose wounds are eyther simple deepe hollow plaine or proud with flesh The Spermaticke likewise are eyther hard or soft the soft parts as the Veynes Arteries and Sinewes being wounded we call them wounds of the hurt part the hard are the Bones a breach of which we call a wound in the Bone So Wounds derive their Nominations from the cause place and simisitudes thereof What Wounds are WOunds are these Which in Latine are called Vulnus of the vulgar Vulner and they are of two kinds that is Simple and Compound the simple are those that are onely in the Flesh the compound are those where are cut Sinewes Veynes Muscles and Bones and these are of divers and sundry kinds and the difference that is among them is by the variety of the place where they are wounded and by the difference of the weapon wherewith they were hurt For some goe right some overthwart that offend divers places of the body The simple are of small importance if they keepe them cleane and close shut Nature will heale them without any kind of medecine but those where veynes are cut had neede of some Art or Practise with the which they must stop the blood and in any wise not to suffer the wound to remaine open but to sow it up very close so that the veyne may heale and those where sinewes are hurt are of great importance and would be healed with great speed so the Sinewes may joyne with more ●ase But those where bones are hurt are of great importance for if the Bone be seperated from the other of necessity it must be taken forth before the Wound be healed So that by this meanes every one may know what Wounds are and their kinds In the Curing of greene Wounds consists a five-fold scope or intention THe first is to draw out that which is sent into the Body whether by Bullet Wood Bone or Stone or Arrowes Darts and such like The second is a Conjunction and united of parts divided The third is a retaining of those parts united in their proper seate The fourth is a Conservation of the parts of the substance The fifth is a Prohibition and mitigation of accidents For the first intention it is performed eyther with fit and convenient Instruments or with attractive Medicines whereby things that are infixed are drawne out Which Medicines are these Radix Aristolochiae Ammoniacum Arundis Saga Poenum Anagallis Dictamnum Thapsia Ranae combustae Or Emplastrum Avicennae so much commended by Guyd● The second and third intention is performed by binding and Ligature if the Wound be simple and small and in a place where it may fitly be performed yea although it be large so it may be easily bound as in the Muscles of the Arme and such like but if it happen that Ligatute will not serve then must be added the helpe of the Needle being very carefull to handle the party gently and to place it in his due seate The fourth intention is performed and accomplished by appointing of a fit and convenient Dyet according to the strength of the Patient and greatnesse of the affect and disposition of the whole body for a thin Dyet and cold doth very much availe in resisting of Symptoms we also adde Blood-letting and Purging of humors to avoide accidents also the part is to be contained in his due place and a Cataplasme framed with the whites of Egges and other cooling things are to be applyed and sometimes to be fomented with astringed Wine The fifth intention is the correcting of accidents which is Flux of blood Dolour Tumor Paralysis Convulsion Fever Syncope Delerium and Itching But this is to observed in the Fluxe of blood whether it hath flowne sufficiently or no if otherwise the Fluxe is to be suffered for after a sufficient Fluxe the wound doth remaine dry and is so much the neerer cured and the lesse Symptomes follow as Phlegmon and such like and if the wound bleed not sufficient we must open a veyne for revulsion according to the greatnesse of the affect and the nature of the wound especially when through paine or other cause wee feare inflamation or a Feaver How a sicke man should Dyet himselfe being Wounded A Wounded man or a man sore beaten being sicke must be kept from Milke Butter Cheese Hearbes Fruites Fish except fre●h-water Fish Women Garlicke Onions Leekes Peason c.

Commandements of God of whom commeth all cunning and grace and that his body be not quaking and his hands stedfast his fingers long and small and not trembling and that his left hand be as ready as his right with all his limmes able to fulfill the good work●s of the soule Now as here is a man meete to be made a Chirurgion and though he have all those good qualities before rehearsed yet is he no good Chirurgion but a man very fit and meete for the practice Now then to know what Properties and conditions this man must have before he be a perfect Chirurgion J doe note foure things most specially that every Chirurgion ought for to have The first that he be Learned The second that he be Expert The third that he be Ingenious The fourth that he be well mannered The first J said he ought to be learned and that he know his principles not onely in Chirurgery but also in Physicke that he may the better defend his Chirurgery also hee ought to be seene in naturall Philosophy and in Grammar that he speake congruity in Logicke that teacheth him to prove his proportions with good reason In Rhetoricke that teacheth him to speake seemely and eloquently also in Theoricke that teacheth him to know things naturall and not naturall and things against Nature Also he must know the Anatomie for all Authors write against those Chirurgions that worke in mans body not knowing the Anatomy For they be likened to a blind man that cutteth in a Vine tree for he taketh more or lesse then he ought to doe And here note well the sayings of Galen the Prince of Philosophers in his Estoris That it is as possible for a Chyrurgion not knowing the Anatomy to worke in mans body without error as it is for a blind man to carve an Jmage and make it perfect The second J said he must be expert For Rasus saith He ought to know and to see other men worke and after to have use and exercise The third that he be ingenious and witty for all things belonging to Chirurgery may not be written nor with letters set forth The fourth J said that he must be well mannered and that he have all these good conditions here following First that he be no Spouse-breaker nor no Drunkard For the Philosophers say amongst all other things beware of those persons that follow Drunkennesse for they be accounted for no men because they live a life bestiall wherefore amongst all other sorts of people they ought to bee sequestred from the ministring of Medicine Likewise a Chirurgion must take heed that he deceive no man with his vaine promises for to make of a small matter a great because he would be accounted the more famous And amongst other things they may neither be Flatterers nor Mockers nor privie Back-biters of other men Likewise they must not be Proud nor presumptuous nor detracters of other men Likewise they ought not to be Covetous nor no niggard and namely amongst their friends or men of Worship but let them be honest courteous and free both in word and deed Likewise they shall give no counsell except they be asked and then give their advice by good deliberation and that they be well advised before they speake chiefly in the presence of wise men Likewise they must be as privie and as secret as any Confessor of all things that they shall either heare or see in the house of their Patient They shall not ta ke into their Cure any manner of person except hee will be obedient vnto their precepts for he cannot be called a Patient unlesse he be a sufferer Also that they doe their diligence as well to the poore as to the rich They shall never discomfort their Patient and shall command all that be about him that they doe the same but to his friends speake truth as the case standeth They must also be bold in those things whereof they be certaine and as dreadfull in all perils They may not chide with the Sicke but be alwayes pleasant and merry They must not covet any W oman by way of villany and specially in the house of their Patient They shall not for covetousnesse of money taken in hand those Cures that be uncurable nor never set any certaine day of the sicke mans health for it lyeth not in their power following the distinct conusell of Galen in the Aphorisme of Hypocrat●s saying Oporter seipsum non solum By this Galen meaneth that to the Cure of every sore there belongeth foure things of which the first and principall belongeth to God the second to the Surgion the third to the Medicine and the fourth to the Patient Of the which foure if any one doe faile the Pa●ient cannot be healed then they to whom belongeth but the fou●th part shall not promise the whole but be first well advised They must al●o be gracious and good to the Poore and of the rich take liberally for both And see they never praise themselves for that redoundeth more to their shame and discredit then to their fame and worship For a cunning and skilfull Chirurgion need not vaunt of his doings for his works will ever get credit enough Likewise that they dispi●e no other Chirurgion without a great cause for it is meete that one Chirurgion should love another as Christ loveth vs all And in thus doing they shall increase both in vertue and cunning to the honor of God and worldly fame Thus farre for his Parts Of the Anatomie CHAP. II. The Anatomie of the simple Members ANd if it bee asked you how many simple Members there be it is to be answered Eleven and two that be but superfluities of Members and these be they Bones Cartilages Nerves Pannicles Ligaments Cordes Arteirs Veynes Fatnesse Flesh and Skinne and the superfluities bee the Haires and Nailes J shall begin at the Bone because it is the Foundation and the hardest Member of all th● Body The Bone is a consimile Member simple and spermaticke and cold and dry of Complexion insensible and inflexible and hath divers formes in Mans body for the diversity of helpings The cause why there be many Bones in mans body is this Sometime it is needfull that one member or one limbe should move without another another cause is that some defend the principall Members as both the Bone of the Brest and of the Head and some to bee the Foundation of divers parts of the Body as the Bones of the ridge and of the Legges and some to fulfill the hollow places as in the Hands and Feet c. The Gristle is a member simple and Spermaticke next in hardnesse to the Bone and is of complexion cold and dry and insensible The Gristle was ordained for sixe causes or profits that J find in it The first is that the continuall moving of the hard Bone might not be done in a juncture but that the Gristle should be a meane betweene the Ligament and him The second is
