Theoricke and Practicke Theorick to know and Practicke to worke The ground of the Theoricke is to know the Elements and Humours that proceedeth from them which is for mans health or against it Letchcraft teaches us Causes effects and Signes Signes to know the causes and effects and therefore J treat of signes and many signes doth belong to Physicke and Chyrurgerie as Crisses Urine Pounces Vomits Sege and other c. Chyrurgerie is in Wounds Impostumes and Algebra and Chyrurgerie holdeth foure parts viz. Wounds and Impostumes Algebra and Anatomie And Antidotary is the fift which is a kind of Salves against all kind of Sores that belongeth to Chyrurgerie Algebra is broken Bones and bones out of joynt Antidotary of Chyrurgerie is in Waters Powders Oyles Oyntments and Emplaisters most principall some must bee repercussive some Moleficative some Maturative some generative and some Corosive Anotomie is to know the Body of man throughout and all his Members within and without Two members hath every manner of man viz. Principall and Officiall and foure principall every man hath viz. Braine Heart Liver and Stones the Braine hath the head and necke the Heart hath the Lungs Brest and Midriffe the Liver hath the stomacke and other members downe to the Reynes as Guts Gall and the Kelle veyne and Milt the Milt upon the left side and the gall upon the Liver the Stones hath Reynes Bladder and other Privities and these are the foure principall members Braine Heart Liver and Stones and without Braine Heart and Liver no man can live and without Stones can no man engender three things in the Stones is cause of engendring Heat Wind and humours Heat commeth from the Liver Spirit from the Heart and humours from the Braines that man is made of if any of these foure be faulty that man can not as he should kindly engender These sixe vertues are rooted in the Liver viz. Attractive Digestive Diminusive Expulsive Retentive and a Simulative that is in our English tongue Drawing and breaking out putting holding and liking For first Nature draweth in that which it needeth to live by and then all to breake it and then departeth the good from the bad and holdeth to it the good and then dispierseth the good to all the members of the Body Officiall members bee those that have certaine offices in mans Body where ever they be as the Eye to see the Eare to heare the Hand to touch the Mouth to speake the Feet to goe and many such other c. Also such are called members as branches from the principall to the officiall as the Arme or Legge that rooteth in the principall and brancheth to the officials And so Nerves Artiers Veynes Lygaments Chords Bones Pannicles and Gristles Flesh and Skin to teach them their Office But Nerves Veynes and Artiers bee most needfull for they bee Wells and Rootes of all other Nerves comming from the Braine and Artiers from the Heart and Veynes from the Liver into all the body Nerves giveth to the Body feeling and moving and Artiers leaving and Veynes increasing A Veyne hath but one Tunacle and an Artier hath two in the one runneth Bloud and in the other spirits and all beating Veynes bee Artiers the which J call Pulses and all other be simple Veynes and all such members saving Flesh alone are melancholious and their nature is Sperme but flesh is Sanguine and therefore it may be sodered be it never so much cut but the other said members because their matter is Sperme may never be sodered if they be much cue Now will J speake of Wounds which is the second part of Chyrurgerie ONe of these intentions hath every Surgion The first is to containe that that i● evill loosed the second is to loose that that is evill contained the third is to take away that that is too much the fourth is to increase that that is too little In these foure entents standeth all Chirurgery The first is in Wounds the second is Impostumes the third and fourth Alg●br● holdeth Wounds be in many manners Simple and Compound Simple in the flesh alone and compound in seven manners There be seven things that letteth a wound not lightly to heale viz. Empostumes discrased hollownesse or bitten by a venemous Beast and these letteth a Chirurgion suddenly to heale a wound and if a Sinew bee cut or pricked or wounded to the Bone or if the wound bee hollow or else discrased with a Fever or bruised or made by venemous Beasts then mayest thou not as thou wouldest close up a wound And if a wound lacke all these seven things then it is simple Thus Medicine is Letchcraft that is both Physicke and Chirurgery and every one of them hath first his Theoricke perfectly to know and afterwards his Practique cunningly to worke the grounds of both which Qualities are Elements and Humours and ●●●nes most needfull both of Urine and Pulses Thus much for the Theoricke Divers things very necessary for every Practitioner in Surgerie to have in a readinesse And first for Instruments viz. NOvacula Sp●●ill●● S●alp●ll●● Lat●● Sp●●ill●● For●icis Stylu● Volsell● Acu● Ca●●li●ula Forata Fas●i● Hab●●● ad membra laqu●● intepcipi●●d● Panni●uli linei ad v●l●●ra abliga●●● Lint●a conc●rpta A●ris●alpiu●● Forcip●s ad d●●tes ●v●ll●nd●s Ferra●entu● qu●●r●●i d●ntes ●rad●●tur ●n●inus or as C●lsu● calleth it Hamul●●●●●●sum 2. For sodaine Accidents HE must have in readinesse Powders Unguents and Emplasters They serve to stop Bleeding to conglutinate Wounds to clense foule and rotten Ulcers to mollifie hardnesse to produce a Cicatrix and Skinne to remove away all excrescent and corrupt Flesh to cease paine to strengthen Fractures and Luxations 3. For Powders THey are of three sorts The first is to stay Bleeding as that which is framed of Bolus Armoniae of Rosis of Mastickes and Pollin The second is for Fractures of the Scull and hurts of other Bones and is called Pulvis Cephalicus and is framed of Radicibus ir●os of Arist●l●●●iae of Myrrhe Aloes and such like The third is to remove away excrescent and corrupt Flesh as Alumen ustu● of Pul prae●ipit Mer●urii and such like 4. For Vnguents HE must have Vnguentum Basilicon which doth humect digest and cease paine Vnguentum album Rhasis which doth Refrigerate coole and dry Vnguentum Aureum called of some Regis which doth Incarnate and conglutinate Wounds together Vnguentum Dialthea simplex which doth Calefie soften humect and also cease paine Vnguentum Apostolorum which doth deterge mollifie dry and remove away corrupt and superfluous Flesh And of like faculty almost is Mundificativum ex api● and Aegyptiacum 5. For Emplasters DIachilon compositum which doth ripen Apostumes and doth mollifie and resolve hardnesse and doth digest and also absterge Diacalciteos commonly called Diapalma which doth conglutinate Ulcers produceth Cicatrix and skinne and according to the opinion of Galen is very fit for the curing of Phlegme Emplastrum de Betonica which is also called De Janua it doth unite

But in conclusion they meane all one thing For the very truth is that there be counted and reckoned seven Tunicles that is to say Selirotica Secondina Retyna Vnia Cornua Araniae and Conjunctiva and these three humours That is to say Humor Virtus Humor Albigynus and Humor Chrystallinus It is to bee knowne how and after what manner they spring You shall understand that there springeth of the Braine substance of his foremost Ventricles two Sinewes the one from the right ●ide and the other from the left and they bee called the first paire for in the Anatomie they be the first paire of Sinewes that appeare of all seven And it is shewed by Galen that these Sinewes be hollow as a Reede for two causes The first is that the visible spirit might passe freely to the Eyes The second is that the forme of visible things might freely be presented to the common wittes Now marke the going forth of these sinewes When these sinewes goe out from the substance of the Braine he commeth through the Piamater of whose substance he taketh a Pannicle or a Coate and the cause why he taketh that Pannicle is to keepe him from anoying and before they enter into the Skull they meete and are united into one sinew the length of halfe an inch and then they depart againe into two and each goeth into one Eye entring through the Braine-panne and these sinewes be called Nervi optici And three causes J finde why these Nerves are joyned in one before they passe into the Eye First if it happen any diseases in one Eye the other should receive all the visible spirit that before came to both The second is that all things that we see should not seeme two for if they had not beene joyned together every thing should have seemed two as it doth to a Worme and to other Beasts The third is that the sinew might stay and helpe the other But hereupon Lanfranke accordeth much saying that these two sinewes came together to the Eyes and take a Pannicle both of Piamater and of Duramater and when they enter into the Orbit of the Eye there the extremities are spread abroad the which are made of three substances that is to say of Duramater of Piamater and of Nervi optici There be engendred three Tunicles or Coates as thus Of the substance that is taken from Duramater is engendred the first Coate that is called Secondina and of Nervi optici is engendred the third Coate that is called Retina and each of them is more subtiller then other and goeth about the humours without meane And it to be understood that each of these three Tunicles be divided and so they make sixe that is to say three of the parts of the braine and three of the parts outwards and one of Pericranium that covereth the Bones of the head which is called Conjunctiva And thus you may perceive the springing of them as thus Of Duramater springeth Clirotica and Cornua Of Piamater springeth Secondina and Vnia And of Nervi Optici springeth Conjunctiva Now to speake of the Humours which be three and their places are the middle of the Eyes of the which the first is Humor Vltrus because he is like glasse in colour very cleere red liquid or thin and hee is in the inward side next unto the Braine and it is thin because the nutritive blood of the Christaline might passe as water through a spunge should bee clensed and made pure and also that the visible spirit might the lightlier passe through him from the Braine And he goeth about the Christaline humour untill he meet with Albuginus humour which is set in the ●ttermost part of the Eye And in the middest of these humours Vltrus and Albiginus is set the Chrystaline humour in which is set principally the sight of the Eye And these Humours be separated and involved with the Pannicles as aforesaid betweene every humour a Pannicle and thus is the Eye compound and made But to speake of every Humour and every Pannicle in his due order and course it would aske a long progresse and a long Chapter but this is sufficient for a Chyrurgion at present Now to begin at the Nose You shall understand that from the Braine there commeth two Sinewes to the holes of the Braine-pan where beginneth the concavity of the Nose and these two be not properly Sinewes but Organs or Instruments of smelling and have heads like teats or paps in which is received the vertue of Smelling and representing it to the common wits Over these two is set Colatorium t hat which wee call the Nosthrils and is set betweene the Eyes under the upper part of the Nose And it is to bee noted that this concavity or ditch was made for two causes The first is that the ayre that bringeth forth the spirit of Smelling might rest in it till it were taken of the Organs or Instrument of smelling The second cause is that the superfluities of the Braine might be hidden under it untill it were clensed and from this concavity there goeth two holes down into themouth of which there is to be noted three benefits The first is that when a mans mouth is close or when he eateth or sleepeth that then the ayre might come through them to the Lungs or else a mans mouth should alwayes bee 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 be stopped The third cause is that the concavity might bee clensed by them when a man snuffeth the Nose or draweth into his mouth inwardly The Nose is a member consimple or official appearing without the face somewhat plyable because it should the better be clensed And it is to bee perceived that it is compound and made of Skin and Lazartus flesh and of two Bones standing in manner tryangle-wise whose extremities bee 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 up the Nose Also there be two concavities or holes that if one were stopped the other should serve Also there is in the Nose two Muscles to help the working of his office And Gal●n saith that the Nose shapeth the Face most for where the Nose lacketh saith he all the rest of the face is the more unseemly The Nose should be of a meane bignesse and not to exceed in length or bredth nor in highnesse For Aristotle saith If the Nostrils 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 are called the members of the Head and they have that name because of continuall

first is that by it goeth forth the Urine or else it should bee 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 betweene these two aforesaid mouthes in her concavity hath many involusions and pleates joyned together in the manner of Rose-leaves before they be fully spread or ripe and so they be shut together as a purse mouth so that nothing may passe forth but urine untill 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 outer 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 those 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 give the knowledge of these his Misteries and Workes unto his Creatures in this present World Heere J suppose to declare what thing Embreon is and his Creation The noble Philosophers as Galen Avicen Bartholmeus and divers others writing upon this matter say That Embreon is a thing engendred in the Mothers wombe the origin all 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 bee 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 efficient both of doing and working and Spirit that giveth vertue to the Body and governeth and ruleth that vertue the which Seed 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 place 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 Seede and by the way of suffering of the Womans Seed mixt together so that each of them worketh in other and suffereth in other there is engendred Embreon And further it is to bee 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 chafing 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 feebler 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 bee noted that like as the Renet of the Cheese 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 Cheese 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 forth with the byrth of the Childe and if it happen that any of the Skinne remaine after the byrth of the Child then is the Woman in perill of her life Furthermore it is said that of this Embreon is ingendred the Heart the Liver the Braynes Nerves Veynes Arteirs Chords 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 Nerves and when these are made Nature maketh and shapeth both Bones and Gristles to keepe and save 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 degrees as thus The first is when the said Sperme or Seed 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 Hypocrates Fettus The third degree is when the principals be shapen as the Heart Liver and Braine The fourth and last as when all the other members bee perfectly shapen then it receiveth the Soule with Life and Breath and then it beginneth to move it selfe alone Now in these foure degrees aforesaid in the first as Milke it continueth seven dayes in the second as Fettus nine dayes in the third as a lumpe of Flesh engendring the principals the space of nine dayes and in the fourth unto the time of full perfection of all the whole members is the space of eighteene dayes So is there fixe and forty dayes from the day of Conception unto the day of full perfection and receiving of the Soule as God best knoweth Now to come againe to the Anatomy of the Haunches Then come wee to Longaon otherwise called the Taile-gut whose substance is Pannicular as of all the other Bowels the length of it is of a span long stretching nigh to the Reynes his nether part is called Annis that is to say the Towell and about him is found two Muscles the one to open the other to shut Also there is found in him five Ve●nes or Branches of Veynes called Venae Emoraidales and they have Colliganes with the Bladder whereof they are partners in their grieves And when this Longaon is raised up then ye may see the Veynes and Artiers and Sinewes how they bee branched and bound down to the nether parts the parts proceeding outwardly are Didimus Peritoneum the Yard the Testikles and Buttocks And first it shall be spoken of the Yard or of mans generative members the which dureth unto that part that is called Peritoneum the which place is from the Coddes unto the Fundament whereupon is a seame Wherefore saith the Philosopher mans Yard is

The cause of our Sciatica and how yee helpe it SCiatica is a Disease so called because it commeth in that place of the Body called Scio and it is caused of an evill quality and grosse Humors that are strayed in that place because they cannot passe downe And this is seene by experience dayly for where that paine is there is alteration and the cure thereof is with Glysters Vomits Purgations and Unctions because the Glysters doth evacuate those places next unto it and so easeth the Humour the Vomit cleanseth the stomacke the Purgation doth evacuate the body downwards the Unctions dissolve the winde and by these meanes thou mayest helpe the Sciatica as J have done many times to my great credit and satisfaction of my Patient For Hoarsnesse AGainst Hoarsnesse goe into the Hot-house and when thou hast halfe Bathed drinke a good draught of warme water this is often proved Another Garlick sodden and eaten maketh a cleare voyce and driveth away Hoarsenesse and the old Cough If a man stand in feare of the Palsie LEt him eat every Morning two or three graines of Mustar-seedes and two Pepper cornes the same is assured for the same dis●ase by many A Medicine for the Goute TAke a pinte of white Wine a quart of running water a quantity of Barley flower and let them boyle together then put thereto halfe a pound of blacke Soape and let all seethe till it be thicke then put thereto the yolkes of foure Egges and when yee will use it spred it on a cloth Plaister-wise hot Stubbes Medicine for the Goute TAke a quart of red Wine Lees a quarter of a pound of Beane flower half aquarter of a pound of Commine fine beaten a spoonefull of Bole-Armoniacke halfe an ounce of Camphere which must be put in at twice and boyle them all together till they be somewhat thicke then make it Plaister-wise and lay it to the paine Another Plaister for the Goute TAke Occy cronium Galbanum and Melitonum of each one a penny-worth and distill them take a pound of stone Pitch and another pound of fine Rozen one halfe ounce of Camphere one quarterne of Deeres Suet halfe a quater of a pound of Commin and boyle them on a soft fire together and thereof make a Plaister upon a piece of Leather using it as the other Another for the same TAke the Gall of an Oxe and Aqua Composita of each a like quantity as much of Oyle of Exeter as of both the other and labour them all together in a pot with a sticke the space of halfe an houre When you have so done annoynt your palme therewith then wet a linnen cloth therein and as hot as you can suffer it bind it to the sore For a pricke of a Thorne or any other thing TAke Honey and a good quantity of Chalke and of the Gall of a Beast and boyle them together and make a Plaister of it and as hot as you can suffer it lay it thereunto Let the Chalke be scraped very small Approved A Remedy for burning and Scalding TAke the white Wooll of the belly of an Hare and if it be raw lay it thereto and it will never away till such time it be whole Another Take a Thistle called St. Mary Thistle stampe it and strain it and take thereof two spoonfuls and put to this three spoonfuls of Creame mixe them together and annoynt the Patient therewith To kill a Tetter or Ring-worme TAke the root of a red Dock the roote is very red and slice it and lay it in Vineger a Night and after lay it upon the Tetter and tye it with a cloth hard and it will kill the Tetter Approved For a winde or a Collicke in the belly TAke a Rose Cake and toast it at the fire with Vineger throwen upon it and lay it as hot to your belly as you may suffer it Another Take Mustard Figges and Vineger stamped together and lay it to the belly of the diseased cold in manner of a Plaister and it shall helpe Against the Shingles ANnoynt the Shingles with the juyce of Mynts and it will heale them To heale a wound in ten dayes as by proofe hath beene seene STampe Camphere with Barrowes greace and put it into the wound and it will heale it Approved For ache in the Backe TAke Egremont and Mugwort both
