of blood is wholesome There be two kinds of melancholymatural and vunafural Naturall is the dregs of bloud which when it aboundeth it runneth with blood and in letting of bloud is votded therewith For of the same temperate beat blood and melancholy the dregs thereof is engendred The fourth rule is that when boyling conturbation and calefactions of humors is feared it is wholesome to let blood and those persons as soon as they feel themselves inflamed should be let blood to avoid the foresaid motions caused by the great aboundance of humors Yet otherwhiles some ●e deceived by this rule for forthwith when they feel calefaction and fear boyling of humors they let them blood And when this commeth of beat calefaction and incision the calefaction or boyling ceaseth not by Blood letting but it is rather augmented for bloud-letting moveth the humors and maketh them run thorough the body Therefore letting of Blood is not wholesome except it be for aboundance of humors which is known by much sweat especially in the morning for there be some that sweat not except they need evacuation The fift this is they that be mighty and strong should be let bloud and not they that be cold and dry For Rasis saith That those bodies are apt to be let bloud which have great apparent veins that be h●iry and coloured between brown and red and folks not too young nor too old for children and vnweldy aged persons should not be letblo●d except necessity require ie Many of the said rules be gathered out ●i Avicen Aestas Ver dextras Autumnus Hyemsque sinistras Quatuo haec membra cephe cor pes epar vacuatur Ver Cor Epar Aestas ordo sequens reliqua Spring-time and Summer if we intend to bleed Veins on the right side do require as need Autumn and Winter they the left side crave In arm or soot as they best like to have The Head Heart Foot and Liver all these four Emptying require themselves best to restore The Heart calls for the Spring Summer the Liver Order vnto the rest is a due giver Here the Author reciting certain things concerning the members that be let bloud saith That in War and Summer the veyns of the right hand arm or foot should be let bloud But in winter and Autumn the veyns of the left hand arm or foot must be diminished The cause hereof may be for that Her encreaseth Blood and Summer Choler therfore in Uer and Summer vs should diminish those veins in which bloud Choler abound which be on the right side of the body near to the member that engendreth good bloud that is the Liver and the receptacle of choler the Gall. Autumne engendreth Melancholy which is gathered together and not resolved by Winter therefore in War and Winter these two Ueyns should be let-bloud in which melancholy hath dominion which be the left side voins for the spleneis on the left side of the body which is the receptacle of Melancholy Secondly be saith the Head the Heart the Foot and the Liver according to the four Seasons of the year must be emp●led the Heart in Uer the Liver in Summer the Head in Winter and the Foot in Autumn Dat saluatella tibi plurima dona minuta Purgat Epar splenem pectus praecordia vocem Iunaturalem tollit de corde dolorem Saluatella the opering of that Veyn In any man five benefits doth gain The Liver it doth purge from all offence And from the Splene commands annoyance thence Preserves the stomacks mouth and clears the Brest And keeps the voyce from being by harms opprest Here the Author reciteth five commodityes that come by letting of blood of the vein Saluatella It is the vein on the back of the hand between the midle singer and the King-singer it purgeth the lyder it cleanseth the Splene it mundifieth the brett is pr●serveth the stomacks mouth from hurt it doth away the hurt of the voice The reason of all these commodityes is because the foresaid vein avoideth blood from all these places as after it shall appeat For a more ample declaration you are to understand that in letting of blood other whiles the veynes be opened and sometime the Art●ryes The opening of the Artery is dangerous the cause here of is the overmuch bleeding which is caused two wapes One is through fervent heat of the Artery blood for a hot thing is soon moveable and dilateth and openeth the Artery and therefore t● help●●h much to void the blood in letting blood the Artery The second cause is mobility of the Artery and therefore the wound or gash in it is slowly healed Yet this letting of blood is wholesome thrée mannet of ways First when there is aboundauce of subtile blood in the body Secondly when the blood is vaporous Thirdly when it is hot For subtile blood of which natural blood and spirits be engendred rest each in the artery but gross blood that nourisheth the members resteth in the veins Like wise the vaporous blood is contained in the artery and sanguine blood in the veyn Also the hottest blood the which is of the heart the hottest member engendred and digested is contained in the Artery and the other Blood in the Veyns Secondly note that the veyns are opened in many members sometime in the arm or in the hand great or small sometime in the foot sometime in the nose sometime in the fore-head sometime in the lips sometime vnder the tongue or in the roof of the mouth sometime in the corner of the Eyes toward the fore-head From the Arm-pit to the Elbow are five veyns to be opened as Rasis and Avicen sayth The first is called Cephalica which is the Head-veyn The second is Basilica which is the Liver-veyn The third is called Mediana or Cardiaca or Nigra after Avicen or Matrix after Rasis The fourth is called Assillaris The fift is called Funis brachij In the left hand is Saluatella so that in the arm in that it contayneth the more and the lesse hand are six veyns to be opened Cephalica emptieth the parts abont the neck and therefore to open that veyn it is good for the diseases of the head as the Megrim and other hot griefs caused of hot matter This veyn beginneth at the shoulder and goeth forth soward the left side of the arm Basilica emptieth the parts vnder the neck as from the Bre●● and Liver and therefore the letting blood of this veyn is wholesome for diseases of the Brest and Liver and right good in a Plurisle This veyn beginneth at the arm-hole and goeth along to the bowing of the arm Mediana is betwéen these two said veins and is compact of them beth for it is the branch of each And it is also Median in vacuation for it voydeth from all about vnder from and about the neck Wherefore it is the vniversall veyn to all the body in voyding but not vniuersall as some say because it beginneth at the heart but because it is

floweth to the stomack which biting the stomack paineth the heart and stomack so that it causeth one to sound The twelfth is loathing for if in this loathing one be let bloud when the veyns be empty they draw to them ill matter that causeth loathsomnesse And besides the foresaid accidents th●●● be yet other that hinder bloud-letting First voyding of menstruous stire or the Emrauts for one diseased with either of these should not be let bloud yet it may be done to divert the flix or matter another tray The second is rarenesse of composition for in rare bodies is much dissolution And therefore this dissolution sufficeth them without evacuation as Galen saith Gal. 9. Res. The third is rawnesse and clamminesse of humours for then beware of leting of bloud because it encreaseth rawnes of humors therefore in long sicknesse ye should not be let bloud for of rawnesse humors encrease strength séebleth and the sicknesse prolongeth And therefore Avicen saith That in long sicknesse before one is let bloud he should take a laxative although he need both Rawnesse of humors is caused two ways One is through aboundance of humors that choke natural heat which choking breedeth raw humors and then bloud-letting is wholesome Wherefore Alexander saith Letting of bloud in the beginning of dropsie is wholesome Alex 2. l. cap. hydropic when it commeth by aboundance of menstruous bloud that through some cause is prohibited to issue or by aboundance of the Enmauds For like as a little fire is quenched under a great heap of wood so likewise naturall heat is suffocated with aboundance of humours The second cause of raw humors is féeblenesse of naturall heat as in folks of feeble complexion or such as have him long sick or be very aged for then the said bloud-letting is vnwholsome because it augmenteth rawnesse for the bloud that conserveth heat is drawn out and so the body is made cold and the humors more raw Therefore the bloud must be left to digest raw humors The fourth is vndue disposition of the ayr either too hote or too cold for much heat causeth strong resolution and great cold maketh the bloud thick and vnapt to issue or avoyd Quid debes facere quando vis stsbothomari Vel quando minuis fuer is vel quands minutus Vnctio siv potus lavacrum vel fascia motus Debent non fragili tibi singula mente teneri What should we do when we to bleeding go These faw instructions following will show Before and after unction will do well Lest the incision or the veyn should swell Yet unction without wine is not so good It prevents sowning and begets new bloud Bathing is wholesome in divers times observed And linnen cloths ought well to be reserved After bloud-letting be discreet in walking And trouble not the brain with too much talking This Text declareth five things that ought to be done about Bloud-letting Five things in letting bloud some before some at the time and some after The first is annointing which otherwhile is vsed in the Bloud-letting as to annoint the place or veyn that is opened to asswage the veyn Sometime it is vsed after Bloud-letting to keep the gash that it close not vp too soon that the humors that be lest in the veyns may have some respiration and some ill fumes voyd out The second is to drink and specially wine which is good in Bloud-letting if one happen to sown add also it is very whol●some after Bloud-letting to revive the spirits and engender new Bloud which thing in practise all Physicians observe The third is bayning which is wholesome thrée days before and thrée days after and not the same day It is good before if one think he have grosse humors within him for bayning looseth and moveth the humors and for the same cause it is wholesome to take a sharp strupe before to move dissolve and make subtile the humors And therefore when ye will let one bloud ye must rub the arm that the humors in the veyn be made subtile and prepared to issue out more eastly It is wholesome after bloud-letting that the residue of humors and vayors that be left behind may be loosed It is not wholesome the same day for bayning maketh the skin linnow or supple which made linnow will not abide the stroke that is given in bloud-letting and that is dangerous The fourth is binding with linnen cloaths which is very wholesome to stop the bloud after often evacuation thereof and before bleeding to draw the humors in the veyns and to cause them to swell and better to appear The fift is moderate walking after bloud-letting to dissolve and make subtile the humors and afterward to loose the residue of the humors that be left behind Some vse to let bloud fasting vut some other say it were better to eat a rere rafted Egge first and thereto drinke a draught of wine about the hour of nine or ten before dinner and forthwith to let bloud because when the stomack is empty nature retaineth still the bloud more strongly lest she should lack nourishment But when they have eat a little nourishing meat as wine and egges is then nature suffereth the bloud better to issue Exhilar at tristes iratos placat amantes Ne sint amentes flebothomia sacit Bleeding removes sad motions from the heart Asswageth anger being too mallepart And those distempered fits procur'd by love Bloud-letting gently doth them all remove Three effects of bloud letting First it maketh a sad person merry Secondly it pleaseth angry folks and the reason is this because much melancholy mingled with blood causeth heavinesse and much choler causeth anger which two humors as they be mingled with blood are drawn our by blood ●etting Thirdly it keepeth Lovers from furious raving for i● removeth the blood from the head and avoideth is by other exteterior parts Furthermore there be five cause of blood-letting The first is that the aboundance whether it be in quality or quantity or both should be voided For as Avicen sayth Two manner of folks must be let blood One are such as be disposed to be sick that have aboundance of bloud in quantity The other are they that are sick already through the malice of humours or blood But there is a difference in these bloud-lettings For bloud-letting for the aboundance of bloud ought to be much but when it is done to avoid ill bloud it must be moderate as Galen saith And therefore they do very ill that let themselves blood till they perceive the good blood issue for peradventure all their blood shall run out ere they see any good bloud appear Therefore they should void a little at once and after the mind of Galen in this case Before they let one bloud they should give him good meats to engerder good blood to fulfill the place of the ill blood that is avoided and after within a little space to let bloud a little and a little This
