A19406	The triall of vvitch-craft shewing the true and right methode of the discouery: with a confutation of erroneous wayes. By Iohn Cotta, Doctor in Physicke.; Triall of witch-craft	Cotta, John, 1575?-1650?	1624 (1624)	STC 5836.5; ESTC S116293	114,816	176

reason to make doubt is reasonlesse fatuitie in those which may be attained by artificiall coniectation search or perquisition either to be stacke is sloth or to bee vnable is insufficiencie so in those diseases which neither outward sense nor inward reason nor Art nor artificiall coniecture can possibly discouer to hope or seeke beyond Sense and Reason and reasonable likelihood is reasonlesse and senselesse striuing and impatience of those bounds which God hath set to limit the curiositie of man For better proofe and illustration it will not bee impertinent to nominate some particuler diseases in all these kinds First for outward diseases and such as are euident to outward sense they are infinite Who that is the least practised in Physicke doeth not assuredly know when with his eyes hee doeth behold an inflammation a Schirrus a Gangrene Cancer Callus Fistula Vlcer Leprosie Psora Struma Petechia Variola Iaundes Gout Tabescence Extenuation and the like Secondly for inward diseases euident to reason he that is least learned doth know that all diseases which may be defined must necessarily be euident to reason as also that it is not difficult to define innumerable diseases to him that is able to conioine with the part affected the true immediate kinde of the affection The stomacke ceasing her proper function of concoction or depriued of appetite doth it not thereby manifestly prooue vnto reason some inward ill affection therein If with that ill affection bee ioyned a manifest inward heate about the region of the stomacke accompanied with an Ague drinesse thirst and other accidents and consequences of heate is not as plainely detected the kinde of the affection to be hot Thus both the part affected which is the stomacke apparently because there the former accidents are found originally moouing and first seated and also the ill affection which by the manifest burning heate doth prooue her kinde being both conioyned doe truely define the disease to bee an inflammation of the stomacke The like may bee saide of the inflammations of all other inward parts of Plurisies Phrensies inflammation of the Liuer Spleene Wombe Reines Guts and other parts the certaine testimonies of excessiue heate giuing demonstration of an inflammation and the paine or at least some defect or defection in the proper offices of the parts manifesting the parts themselues As concerning inward inflammations of diuers parts so likewise of inward Vlcers and other maladies may be instanced The disease of the bladder is oft certainly knowne by paine in the part or by cessation of his proper functions or defection therein and the kinde of disease therein by the excretions oft-times proceeding from it And thus an Vlcer is oft discouered in the bladder by paine with purulent and sanguiuolent miction Diseases likewise of the head are certainly discouered and detected vnto reason by defects growing sometimes in the vnderstanding sometimes in the memory sometimes in the imagination sometimes in all those together sometimes in the general motion of the whole body Diseases of the heart likewise appeare by the euill and faulty motions of the pulse by soundings and defections in liuelihood of the spirits and vitall faculty Diseases of the Wombe or Mother likewise doe oft demonstrate themselues by depriued or depraued motions It were tedious to make a particular enumeration of all diseases of this kinde which are in the same manner euident and apparent vnto reason Now let vs briefly also consider some diseases which are neither euident to Reason nor manifest to Sense but are gained detected and hunted out of their deepe and hidden couerts by the quicke and exquisite sent of probable and artificiall coniecture the necessity or vse whereof either in an ambiguous complication of doubtfull diseases or in the extrication of any intricate single affection or malady there is no man in Physicke exercised who doth not dayly finde Many examples of diseases of this kinde would cause the small body of this little worke voluminously to swell we will therefore onely propose one Let vs suppose a sicke man doubtfully and diuersly with these accidents afflicted namely a continuall feuer a cough spitting of blood shortnesse of winde head-ache deliration want of sleepe drinesse thirst paines in diuers parts sides ribbes backe and belly What disease or diseases here are can neither be manifest to sense distracted in this confusion multitude and concurrence of accidents nor yet be euident to reason at the first view because it requireth so different consideration and deuided contemplation of so many seuerals apart Here then it remaineth that learned iudicious prudent and discreete artificiall coniecture proceed exactly to distinguish analise as followeth All the sorenamed paines distempers and accidents may indifferently arise eyther from the Lungs inflamed or the Liuer or the Midriffe or the Pleura because any one of these by it selfe doth vsually bring forth all or most part of them Heere then prudent artificiall and exquisite perpension doth exactly valew and esteeme all the different manners quantities qualities positions and situations of paines likewise accidents motions times manners of motion caracters orders and all other both substantiall and circumstantiall considerations And first as touching the feuer head-ache thirst idlenes of braine because they are common to many other diseases besides these and require no curious but a more carelesse and common respect prudent and circumspect coniectation doth leaue their needlesse confusion of more vsefull and needfull perpension and doth more narrowly search about those accidents which are more inseparable proper and peculiar vnto the diseases named and by exact disquisition in their differencies doth notwithstanding sist out their hidden and secretly couched differencies by which in exact view they are found and distinguished sufficiently differing The inseparable accidents which doe peculiarly or for the most part accompany the diseases before named that is the inflammation of the Lungs the Liuer the Midriffe and the Pleura are cough shortnesse of winde spitting of blood paines about the ribbes sides belly which in all these named diseases more or lesse are present either primarily or by consent of one part with another These though seldome absent from most of the foure former diseases and therefore not easily distinguished when they proceede from th' one or th' other yet rightly weighed and accurately considered in their seuerall manners measures and right positions in euery one when apart and single they doe likewise in their confused mixture one with another yeeld distinct and seuerall difference to him that in a iudicious and discerning thought doth beare their iust distinctions apart For illustration spitting of blood is vsually a companion to all or most of the foure named diseases but in one in lesse quantity in another more in one after one manner in another after another in one by vomiting in another by expectoration and in another by coughing in one with much expuition in another with little in one with danger of strangulation and suffocation in another without
