I. Heere I shall declare unto you shortly and briefly the sayings and determinations of divers ancient Authors in three Points very expedient for all men to know that intend to use and exercise the Mysterie or Art of Chyururgerie The first is to know what Chyrurgerie is The second is how that a Chyrurgion should bee chosen And the third is with what properties a Chyrurgion should be indued FOr the first which is to know what thing Chyrurgeris is Herein I doe note the saying of Lanfranke whereas hée sayth All things that man would know may be knowne by one of these thrée things That is to say by his Name or by his Working or else by his very being and shewing of his owne properties So then it followeth that in the same manner we may know what Chyrurgery is by thrée things First by his Name as thus the Interpreters write that Chirurgery is derived out of these words Apo tes chiros ca● touergou that is to be vnderstood a hand working and so it may be taken for all handy Artes But Noble Ipocras saith that Chirurgerie is hand-working in Mans body for the very end and profit of Chirurgerie is hand-working Now the second manner of knowing what thing Chyrurgery it it is the saying of Avicen To be knowne by his being for it is verily a Medicinall Science And as Galen saith He that will know the certainty of a thing let him not busie himselfe to know onely the name of that thing but also the working and the effect of the same thing Now the third way to know what thing Chirurgerie is it is also to be knowne by his being or declaring of his owne properties the which teacheth vs to worke in mans body with hands as thus In cutting and opening those parts that be whole and in healing those parts that be broken or cut and in taking away that that is superfluous as Wartes Wennes Skurfulas and other of like effect But further to declare what Galen saith Chirurgery is it is the last

through them to the Lunges or else a mans mouth should alwayes be open The second cause is that they helpe to the relation of the forme of the Nose for it is said a man speaketh in his Nose when any of these holes he stopped The third cause is that the concavity might be clensed by them when a man snuffeth the Nose or draweth into his mouth inwardly The Nose is a member consimple or officiall appearing without the face some what ●licable because it should the better be cleansed And it is to be perceived that it is compound and made of Skin and Lazartus flesh and of two Bones standing in manner triangle-wise whose extremities he joyned in one part of the Nose with the Coronall Bone and the nether extremities are joyned with two Gristles and another that divideth the Nosthrils within and holdeth vp the Nose Also there be two concavities or holes that if one were stopped the other should serue Also there is in the Nose two Muscles to helpe the working of his Office And Galen sayth that the Nose shapeth the Face most for where the Nose lacketh sayth he all the rest of the Face is the more vnséemely The Nose should be of a meane bignesse and not to excéed in length or bredth nor in highnesse For Aristotle saith If the Nosthrils be too thin or too wide by great drawing in of ayre it betokeneth great straitnesse of heart and indignation of thought And therefore it is to be noted that the shape of the members of the Body betokeneth and judgeth the affections and will of the soule of man as the Philosopher saith The Temples he called the members of the Head and they haue that name because of continuall mouing And as the Science of the Anatomy meaneth the spirit vitall is sent from the heart to the braine by Arteirs and by Veines and nutrimentall blood where the Vessels Pulsati●es in the Temples be lightly hurt Also the Temple haue ●ents or holes inwardly wherein hée taketh the humour that commeth from the Braine and bringeth the Eyes asléepe and if the said Holes or Dents be pressed and wrung then by trapping of the humour that continueth hée maketh the teares to fall from the Eye The Chéekes are the sideling parts of the Face and they containe in them Musculus flesh with Veynes and Arteirs and about these parts be many Muscles Guido maketh mention of seven about the Chéekes and ouer-lip And Haly Abbas saith there be twelue Muscles that mooue the nether Iaw some of them in opening and othersome in closing or shutting passing vnder the Bones of the Temples and they be called Temporales And they be the right noble and sensatiue of whose hurt is much perill Also there bée other Musculus for to grinde and to chew And to all these Muscles commeth Nerues from the Braine to giue them féeling and mouing And also there commeth to them many Arteirs and Veynes and chiefly about the Temples and the angles or corners of the Eyes and the Lips And as the Philosophers say the chiefe beauty in man is in the Chéekes and there the complexion of man is most knowne as thus If they bée full ruddy and medled with temperate whitenesse and not fat in substance but meanely fleshie it betokeneth hot and moyst of complexion that is Sanguine and temperate in colour And if they be white coloured without medling of rednesse and in substance fat and soft quavering it betokeneth excesse and superfluity of cold and moyst that is flegmaticke And if they be browne in colour or cyfren yeallow redde and thinne and leaue insubstance it betokeneth great drying and heate that is choleticke And if they be as it were blowne in colour and of little flesh in substance it Betokeneth excesse and superfluity of drynesse and cold that is Melancholy And as Avicen saith the Chéekes doe not onely shew the diversities of complexions but also the affection and will of the Heart for by the affection of the heart by suddaine joy or dread he waxeth either pale or red The bones or bony parts first of the chéekes be two of the Nose outwardly two of the vpper Mandible two within the Nose thrée as thus One deviding the Nosthrils within and in each Nosthrill one and they séeme to be rowled like a water and haue a hollownesse in them by which the ayre is respired and drawne to the Lungs and the superfluity of the Braine is purged into the mouth●wards as in before rehearsed But Guido and Galen saith that there be in the face nine bones yet I cannot find that the nether Mandible should be of the number of those nine for the nether Mandible accounted there proueth them to be ten in number Of which thing I will hold no argument but remit it to the sight of your Eyes The parts of the mouth are fiue that is to say the Lippes the Téeth the Tongue the Vuila and the Pallet of the mouth And first to speake of the Lips they are members consimile or officiall full of Musculus flesh as is aforesaid and they were ordained for two causes one is that they should be to the mouth as a doore to a house and to kéepe the mouth close till the meat were kindly chewed The other cause is that they should be helpers to the pronouncing of the spéech The Téeth are members consimily or officiall spermaticke and hardest of any other members and are fastned in the Chéeke bones and were ordained for thrée causes First that they should chew a mans meate ere it should passe downe that it might bée the sooner digested The second that they should be a helpe to the spéech for they that lacke their téeth doe not perfectly pronounce their words The third is that they should serue to beasts as weapons The number of them is vncertaine for some men haue moe and some lesse they that haue the whole number haue two and thirty that is to say sixtéene aboue and as many beneath as thus two Dwallies two Quadripulles two Canniens eight Morales and two Causales the Tongue is a carnous member compound and made of many Nerues Ligaments Veynes and Artiers ordained principally for thrée causes The first is that when a man cateth the Tongue might helpe to turne the meat till it were well chewed The second cause is that by him is received the tast of swéete and sowre and presented by him to the common Wittes The third is that by him is pronounced euery spéech The fleshie part of the Tongue is white and hath in him nine Muscles and about the roote of him is Glandulus in the which be two welles and they be ever full of spettle to temper and kéepe moyst the Tongue or else it would ware dry by reason of his labour c. The Vuila is a member made of spongeous flesh banging downe from the end of the Pallet ouer the gullet of the throat and is a member in complexion cold and dry and oftentimes when

the concavity of the bladder and the more that the Bladder is filled with Vrine the straiter bée the two Pannicles comprised together for the holes of the Tunicles be not even one against another and therefore if the bladder be never so full there may none goe backe againe The forme of it is round the quantity of it is a Pitcher full in some more in some lesse c. Also there is found two other vessels called Vaza Seminaria or the Spermaticke Vessels And they come from Venakelis bringing blood to the Tostikles as well in man as in woman the which by his further digestion it is made sperme or nature in men they be put outward for the Testikles be without but in women it abideth within for there Testikles stand within as it shall be declared hereafter Next followeth the Matrix in women the Matrix in women is an officiall member compound and Nerveous and in complexion cold and dry and it is the field of mans genertion and it is an instrument susceptiue that is to say a thing receiving or taking and her proper place is betwéne the Bladder and the Gut Longaon the likenesse of it is as it were a yard reversed and turned inward having Testikles likewise as aforesaid Also the Matrix hath two Concavities or Selles and no more but all Beastes haue as many Selles as they haue Pappes heads Also it hath a long Necke like an Vrinall and in every Necke it hath a mouth that is to say one within and another without The inner in the time of conception is shut and the vtter part is open as it was before and it hath in the middest a Lazartus Pannicle which is called in Latine Tengito And in the creation of this Pannicle is found two vtilities The first is that by it goeth forth the Vrine or else it should bée shed throughout all the Vulva The second is that when a woman doth set her Thighs abroad it altereth the ayre that commeth to the Matrix for to temper the heate Furthermore the Necke that is betwéene these two aforesaid mouthes in her concavity hath many involusions and pleates joyned together in the manner of Rose leaues before they be fully spread or ripe and so they be shut together as a purse mouth so that nothing may passe forth but vrine vntill the time of childing Also about the middle of this necke be certaine Veynes in Maydens the which in time of deflowring be corrupted and broken Furthermore in the sides of the vtter mouth are two Testicles or Stones and also two vessels of Sperme shorter then mans vessels and in time of Coyt the Womans sperme is shead downe in the bottome of the Matrix Also from the Liver there commeth to the Matrix many Veynes bringing to the Child nourishing at the time of a womans being with Child and these Veynes at such time as the Matrix is voyd bring thereto superfluities from certaine members of the Body whereof are engendred womans Flowers c. And forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God to giue the knowledge of these his Misteries and Workes vnto his Creatures in this present World Héere I ●●ppose to declare what t●ing Embreon is and his Creation The noble Philosophers as Galen Avicen Bartholmeus and divers others writing vpon this matter say That Embreon is a thing engendred in the Mothers wombe the originall whereof is the Sperme of the Man and of the Woman of the which is made by the might and power of GOD in the mothers wombe a Child as hereafter more at large shall bée declared First the field of Generation called the Matrix or the Mother is knowne in the Anatomy whose place is properly betwixt the Bladder and Longaon in the Woman in which place is sowne by the Tillage of man a covenable matter of kindly heate For kindly heate is cause officient both of doing and working and Spirit that giveth vertue to the Body and governeth and ruleth that vertue the which Séed of generation commeth from all the parts of the Body both of the Man and Woman with consent and will of all Members and is shead in the plac● of Conceiving where thorow the vertue of Nature it is gathered together in the Celles of the Matrix or the Mother in whom by the way of the working of mans Séede and by the way of suffering of the Womans Séed mixt together so that each of them worketh in other and suffereth in other there is engendred Embreon And further it is to bée noted that this Sperme that commeth both to man and woman is made and gathered of the most best and purest drops of Blood in all the body and by the labour and cha●ing of the Testikles or Stones this Blood is turned into another kind and is made Sperme And in man it is hot white and thicke wherefore it may not spread nor runne abroad of it selfe but runneth and taketh temperance of the Womans sperme which hath contrary qualities For the womans sperme is thinner colder and féebler And as some Authors hold opinion when this matter is gathered into the right side of the Matrix then it happeneth a Male kind and likewise on the left the Female and where the vertue is most there it favoureth most And further it is to bée noted that like as the Renet of the Chéese hath by himselfe the way or vertue of working so hath the Milke by way of suffering and as the Renet and milke make the Chéese so doth the sperme of Man and Woman make the generation of Embreon of the which thing springeth by the vertue of kindly heate a certaine Skin or Caule into the which it lappeth it selfe in wherewith afterwards it is tyed to the Mothers wombe the which covering commeth foorth with the byrth of the Childe and if it happen that any of the Skinne remaine after the byrth of the Child th●● is the Woman in perill of her life Furthermore if is said that of this Embreon is ingendred the Heart the Liver the Braynes Nerues Veynes Arteirs Cords Lygaments Skins Gristles and Bones receiving to them by kindly vertue the menstruall blood of which is engendred both flesh and fatnesse And as writers say the first thing that is shapen be the principals as is the Heart Liver and Braine For of the Heart springeth the Artiers of the Liver the Veines and of the Brain the Nerues and when these are made Nature maketh and shapeth both Bones and Gristles to kéepe and saue them as the bones of the head for the Brain the Breast Bones and the Ribbes for the Heart and the Liver And after these springeth all other members one after another and thus is the Child bred forth in foure degrées as thus The first is when the said Sperme or Séed is at the first as it were Milke The second is when it is turned from that kind into another kind is yet but as a lumpe of Blood and this is called of Ipocras

man infected hath alwaies a desire to sléepe because the venome internall doth perturbate and trouble the spirits vitall so that it alwaies tendeth to rest by these si●nes and all others before related a man may alwaies perceiue himselfe to be infected If he will not giue credit vnto it let him make tryall for halfe a dayes space and presently he shall féele the Apostume vnder his Armes or about the groine or else about the Eares Therefore the chiefest remedy is if a man perceiue all these tokens in the time of Pestilence that he shake off sléepe as I haue said before for as by the reasons before also alleadged it is manifest that in sleepe the Spirits vitall doth rest but the venome is scattered through the membrands from one place vnto another as I haue often observed This being truly marked when a man findeth himselfe infected as soone as possible may be let him let blood in as ample manner that he almost faint thereon for the taking of small quantity of blood stirreth vp the venomous quality more forcibly If a man will not cut many veines at once then hée shall suffer to goe over the same veine incided as before said euen vnto the retardation and staying of the Blood Also he that is let blood whether he be infected or not hée must also shunne sléepe the whole day even till midnight And alwaies in the same part of the body that the Apostume shall appeare shall be made the incision of a veyne As for Example If the Apostume shall appeare vnder the right Arme Phlebotomie shall be made in the middle part of the same Arme from the veyne Mediana but if vnder the left arme the Apostume sheweth it selfe then must you open the Mediana as aforesaid in the same Arme or the Hepatica that is to say in the veyne about the middle finger If the Impostume be about the Groyn let a veyne be opened in the Foot about the Hée le on the same side If the Apostume be in the Neck Phlebotomize the Cophalica about the Thumbe in the hand of the same side or the Mediana of the same Arme or in the hand on the same side about the lesser finger If it shall appeare about the the Eare incide the Cophalica on the same side or the veyne which is betwéene the fore-finger and the thumbe least many venomous vapours invade the braine Or the veyne which is about the lesser finger or about the Article which of Physitians is called Basilica If the tumour shall appeare about the shoulder blades heart and Throat Vse scarifications with applicaton of Ven●osits And first let blood on the Median If the Apostume appeare on the backe open the veyne called Pedia Magna And all these may be let blood if a man haue not slept before the knowledge of the Apostumation But if he féele such Apostumations after sléeping then bléeding ought to be made on the contrary part as if the Apostume appeared in the right arme the Basilica or Liver veyne or Mediana in the left arme shall be opened And if the Apostume sheweth vnder the right arme let it be as it is spoken of the left arme and so of other places in which the Apostumation appeareth and whensoever blood-letting is to be vsed let it be alwaies done in opposite manner And if he that haue béene let blood be very weake then may he sléepe after the midst of the day and before the midst of the day hée ought to be in continuall motion either riding or moderately walking And if afterward the Botch increaseth feare not For it is a token that nature putteth out the venomous quality and restoreth a man to soundnesse then may you apply such remedies thereto as is aboue mentioned And if any there be that shall receiue benefit and recovery by these directions First let him thanke God that hath created Medicine of the Earth to heale his people and secondly pray for me a sinner the writer of this little
