the five senses sight hearing taste smell and touch to the performance whereof necessarily occurre these three 1. the organe 2. the medium or meane 3. the object The organe is the animall spirit diffused all over the body the meane carries the object to the instrument the object is an externall quality that can by a medicine stirre up the organe as for example sight is the seeing faculty acted by the eye which is the organe the object is the visible quality before the eye the medium arrives the object at the eye The hearing faculty whereof the eare is the organe every sound the object the medium is the ayre that carries the sound to the eare The smelling faculty commeth from the mammillary processes produced from the proper substance of the braine and seated in the upper part of the nose the object is every smell the medium by which it is carried is to men birds and beasts the aire to fishes the water The action of the taste is performed by the tongue the object is the taste of severall meats and drinkes the medium is either externall as is the spittle that doth moisten the tongue or internall as the spongy flesh of the tongue it selfe All parts endued with a nerve enjoy the sense of touching the object is every tractable quality as heat cold roughnesse c. The medium is either the skin or the flesh endued with those nerves The next action is voluntary motion and is performed by a muscle as I shewed you in the Chapter of Parts or Members either by extention or contraction upward downeward to the right hand to the left hand forward or backward The principall action is threefold 1. Imagination 2. Reason 3. and Memory Imagination is a certaine distinguishing apprehension Reason is a certaine judiciall estimation of things apprehended Memory is the sure storer of all things as in a magazine which the minde oft unfolds CHAP. VII Of Spirits What a spirit is THE Spirit is the substance subtle and acrious of our body bred of the most pure and thinne bloud and is the prime instrument wherby the members shall performe their office and they abide most in the heart and arteries in the braine and nerves Division of spirits The Spirits are divided into three parts animall vital naturall Animall spirit the animall is seated in the braine for there it is prepared and made and of which a great part is sent to the eyes by the nerves optickes and some to the eares and divers other parts this kind is called animall because it is the chiefe and prime instrument of life Vitall spirit The vitall spirit hath his chief mansion in the left ventricle of the heart and in the arteries and is made of the evaporation of the bloud and furnished with matter from the aire which we draw in breathing and is sent from his seate in the heart through the channels of the arteries into the whole for the conservation of naturall heate Naturall spirit The naturall spirit is engendred in the liver and veines and there remaines while the bloud is made and other naturall operations perfected the use of it is to helpe the concoction both of the whole body and of each severall part and to carry blood and heate to them These spirits being dissipated we cannot hope for life because the flower therof is decaied and wasted in their defect Now to these naturall things which I have shewed you are associate and joyned these foure following viz. Age Colour Figure or Scite and Kinde or Composure Age is a space or part of our life in which our bodies are subject to mutations and of this I have sufficiently spoken before The Colour shewes the temperament of the body and the just proportion of humours as if there be a just proportion of the foure humours the colour is red if aboundance of melancholy the colour is livide and blacke if aboundance of choller the colour is citrine and yellow if phlegme the colour is white and pale Scite and figure shew the good composure and connexion of all the parts of a body fitly and duely compacted as they ought to be of this kind there are foure quadrature crassitude or thickenesse extenuation and fatnesse Sex is the distinction betwixt Male and Female not in parts but in constitution as the Male is commonly hot the Female cold and so are Eunuches CHAP. VIII Of things not naturall which is the second part of Physicke What things not naturall are HAving shewed you things naturall whereof mans body is composed and what they are as Elements Humours c. as we formerly comprehended under the name naturall we will now proceed in the description of things not naturall which are used to conserve and defend the body composed and made of the things naturall already spoken of these doe pertaine to that of Physicke which is for preserving health and are the meane betwixt things naturall and things against nature for they doe not constitute our nature as things naturall neither doe they hurt or damage it as things against nature but they are indifferent good if they be well used and bad if they be ill used the use whereof we consider from foure conditions quantity quality occasion and manner of using These being observed you may effect and cause things doubtfull of themselves to bring undoubted health things not naturall are in number six 1. the aire that goeth about us 2. the meate and drinke we use 3. the motion and rest of our bodies 4. sleeping and waking 5. repletion and inanition or things to be expelled or retained 6. and perturbations of the minde CHAP. IX Of Aire Aire AIRE is so necessary for us that not one minute of health can be enjoyed without the same as we may perceive by the continuall transpiration and breathing that all living creatures have for their refreshing and to regender the spirit animal and therefore because we so often draw it in breath it out it wil be very necessary for our health to know what aire is wholesome and what unwholesome for the aire doth alter our bodies three manner of waies by quality as if it be horter moister or drier by substance as if it be more grosser or more subtle then is fit or by mutation which any man may prove who makes a suddaine change out of a quiet aire into a stormy and that is troubled with winds The most healthfull Aire Therefore the most healthfull and best aire is that which is cleere subtle and pure free and open on every side exempt from evill evaporations fennes sinkes cloudes rotten and carrion like smells of dead carkasses standing pooles and all corruption that is neither is too hot nor too cold too drie nor too moist and this aire is the best both for the preserving of health and curing of diseases Evill Aire The evill aire is quite contrary to the good as that which is putride shut prest up in some narrow place thicke rotten
coates that the spirits may not be exhaled and that it may not be broken by the continuall motion and beating a veine beates very little or not at all A nerve A nerve is that which proceeding from the braine or spinall marrow hath sence and motion some partes of the body which have nerves have feeling also but no voluntary motion as the membranes veines arteries guts and all the entrailes from the braine arise two soft nerves which have feeling the hard nerves spring from the spinall marrow and are moving from the braine proceed seven conjugations of nerves from the spinall marrowe thirty paire that is sixty nerves some nerves cannot be perceived to be hollow at all it is a simple part of our body bred and nourished by a grosse and phlegmaticke humour The second instruments Of the three first and simple instruments veines nerves and arteries and of the eight aforesaid parts least conformable being knit in due quantity number and scite spring the second instruments amongst which the muscles Muscles have the first place as being the instruments of voluntary motion which is performed six maner of waies viz. upwards downewards forwards backwards to the right hand and to the left hand this is simple motion the second voluntary motion is circularly as when you lure a hauke you swinge your hand round A muscle consists of veines nerves and arterious flesh and fibres from which they receive nourishment life sense and motion they are reckoned amongst the second instruments because they consist of a coate a tendon and a ligament and are devided into three partes the begining middle and end the head insertion and neather parte and these are all differing in figure scituation perforation and quantity colour and connexion The fingers The fingers consist not only of veines of which they are nourished of arteries from whence they receive spirit and vitall heate nerves by which they feele and muscles whereby they are mooved but also of three bones in each finger that is fifteene in each hand which are hollow fistulous and full of thinne and liquid marrow and not of grosse and thick as in the arme or thigh whereby they are fortified and sustained likewise of ligaments whereby the bones are connexed of flâ—sh and skin by whose coniunction is ordained the true organicall touching the fingers are in number five The nailes are generated by the fibers of the ligaments and the excrements of the tendons which are terminated at the bottom of the nailes The hand The hand consists of five fingers the palme or hollow of the hand the back of the hand and the wrest it is the instrument of instuments made for to take up and hold any thing for with the hands are all the other instruments made it is devided into five fingers the more easily to take up even the least bodies of any figure or fashion soever and to this end nature ordained us the nailes because the fingers ends being soft flesh might not turne away in meeting with a hard body The heart The heart is the chiefe mansion of the soule the organe of the vitall faculty and is placed in the body as the Sun in the firmament it is placed by nature as it were in a box that it may have free liberty to spread it selfe and receive hurt neither from the ribs or vertebres of the chest it containes a continuall moisture that by its motion and heat it may not be over dried it consists of a hard and dense flesh in which are two hollowes the right side is the biggest the left side is the more corpulent and thereby the more straite but it is the more solid and thick that the vitall spirits which are worked in it may not be exhaled In the right hollow are two vessels a branch of the hollow veine whereby the heart drawes the bloud from the liver and the gate veine by which it sends the bloud throughly concocted and subtilized to the lunges In the left side also are two vessels the great Artery Aorta whereby it sends the vitall spirits every way and the arteria venosa whereby it receives the aire from the lunges which are only the bellowes of the heart to coole it The heart hath auricles or little eares on every side to hold up the gate vein and branch of the hollow veine that they be not broken by the violent motion of the heart the heart is one alone scituate most commonly upon the fourth vertebrae of the chest being placed there by nature because it is the most sure and armed place and is besides as it were covered on every side by the hands of the lunges and is made of a more dense solid and compact substance then any other part of the body because it must have a naturall motion of its selfe These thinges I have spoken in briefe only to shew you how necessary it is to be perfect in Anatomie wherby you shall the more easily discern the pâ—rts affâ—cted by the place of paine and cure it by a fit application of remedies without the hurting of any other part next I shall speake of the faculties CHAP. V. Of Faculties What a faculty is A Faculty is a certaine power and efficient cause proceeding from the temperament of the part and the cause whereof proceed the actions and powers of the body The animall faculty Of these are three kindes in every perfect body that is the Animall Vitall and Naturall which have a certaine simpathy one with another for if one be hurt all the rest suffer with it The Animall is that which proceeds from the proper temperament of the braine and yields knowledge sense and voluntary motion and this is of three kindes 1. Moving which remaines in the Muscles and Nerves as the fit instruments of voluntary motion 2. Sensative which consists in the five externall senses Sight Hearing Taste Smell and Touch. 3. and principall which comprehends the reasonable faculty the memory and fantasie The Animall faculty being thus seated in the braine sends from thence sence and motion by the nerves or certaine chanels into the whole body Vitall faculty But the Vitall faculty is that which sendeth life to every member of the whole body and maintaines the essence of the spirits and this hath his seat in the heart from whence he sends heat through the arteries to every part of the body and is much hindred by diseases in the breast Naturall faculty The naturall faculty is that which carries the nourishment into all the members of the body and this claimes his place in the liver it is by Avicen and most of the ancient Philosophers concluded that this naturall faculty is divided into two parts whereof one is the preserving of life and health unseparable and to nourish the body as comming from the fountaine and mint of nourishment the other is the preserving and maintaining the forme and species made in generation First by drawing the seminall matter from the humours of the body and
converting it into the humour called inominata humiditas Secondly by forming this seminall matter in the vessels and testicles Thirdly by reducing the seminall matter into simple members Fourthly by forming it at the command of the Creator into his Image and likenesse but I will only shwe you what faculties attend on these before named and for the rest I shall referre the desirous to Galen in libro de Hippocrat Platonicis dogmat li. 9. de curan morb cap. 10. lib. de potent natural It being more then my brevity will permit me to speake of Those faculties therefore that attend the forenamed three are in number foure viz. Attractive Retentive Digestive and Expulsive The Attractive drawes that juice which is most fit to nourish the body by heate and as it were a kinde of violence and is made three manner of waies 1. by heat 2. likenesse of substance 3. and to fill up vacant places it is said to be by heat as when frictions and rubbings are applied to any part of the body hot emplasters or vesicatories by which the native heate is encreased and nourishment is drawne to the part after which manner all the other parts draw The likenesse of substance is a certaine inexplicable propriety following the same forme and similitude as you may perceive in the loadstone amber and purgations which draw nourishment from the part not confusedly and indifferently but definitly and with a desire even as a familiar friend a part therefore drawes nourishment by heat but by the similitude of substance it drawes this or that nourishment such as is most fit for it as the braine drawes phlegmaticke blood the lunges cholericke blood after this manner the liver drawes the Chyle the reines the urine for every one drawes that it may get thereby as the bladder of the gall drawes the gall and delights in it because of the similitude of the substance and the propriety of the matter received to the place receiving Now the attraction to fill up vacant places is made by the desire the naturall parts have to shunne the fault of vacancy so that the light are carried downewards and the heavy are raised upwards by the ordination of nature to that end and in this manner doe the heart arteries and lunges attract aire to temper and qualifie the native heat But because the parts cannot enjoy their nourishment that they have acquired unlesse the attracted be somewhile staied for every action hath his time therefore nature like a good and skilfull workeman hath given every part a faculty of holding and retaining the nourishment untill it be made perfect by concoction into the forme of Chyle it is helped by coldnesse and drynesse Digestive faculty The digeive faculty is that which turnes the nourishment brought in by the attractive faculty and retained by the retentive faculty into a fit substance for that part whose faculty it is as from the stomacke the nourishment is turned into Chyle from Chyle the digestive faculty in the meseraicke veines turnes it into blood which by a third kinde is brought to the members and assimulated to them and converted into the same substance as may be perceived in the paps of women and testicles of men Expulsive faculty And because from aboundance of excrements proceed many dangerous diseases and that no nourishment whatsoever but hath his faeces therefore hath nature placed the expulsive faculty which is only appointed to expâ—ll those superfluities which by no action of heat can obtaine the forme of the part and thus the wombe at the appointed time doth send forth the infant by a most vehement expulsive faculty Now if any of these faculties be wanting in a body the health must needs decay for want of nourishment but if these faculties doe rightly performe their duties then the nourishment is changed into the proper substance of the part and truly assimulated to it CHAP. VI. Of the Actions What an action is THE next thing we must speake of is of the Actions which arise from the aforesaid faculties for as a faculty depends on a temperament so an Action depends on a faculty and therefore it is called an active motion proceeding from a faculty for let the faculty be removed away and there will be no action These actions are three in number Animall Vitall and Naturall which are called also Simple and Compound Simple actions simple to whom one alone operative faculty with its naturall instruments doth concurre as Attraction which is caused of the faculty Attractive by Heat and drinesse Retention which is caused of the faculty Retentive by Cold and drinesse Digestion which is caused of the faculty Digestive by Heat and moisture Expulsion which is caused of the faculty Expulsive by Cold and moisture Compound actions The compound is made either of two faculties as the naturall desire of meat proceeds from the attractive and sensative faculty by which the stomackes feeles emptinesse for five naturall motions goe before the naturall desire As First the emptinsse of the members Secondly the Attraction or sucking of the members by the veines Thirdly the attraction of the veines from the liver Fourthly the sucking of the liver from the stomacke by the meseraicke veines Fithly the sense and feeling in the stomacke from whence proceedes the naturall desire of meat This compound may be made of more then two faculties as the carrying which is as much to say as the helping forward of the nourishment in its passage to the members and the egestion of the excrements and urine which is made three waies by the sensative that feeles the burthen by the appetitive or desiring which desires to be eased and the expulsive which expelleth and driveth the excrement to the instrument Naturall actions Actions are either voluntary or naturall the naturall are performed against our will as the continuall motion and pulsation of the heart and arteries and expulsion of excrements and these actions flow from the liver and veines or from the heart and arteries and therefore are they called naturall and vitall actions The unvoluntary vitall actions be the dilatation contraction of the heart and arteries which we commonly call pulse by that they draw in and by this they expell or drive forth The unvoluntary vitall actions be generation which proceedeth from the generative faculty and growth and nutrition which proceedeth from the growing and nourishing faculty Generation Generation is a producing of matter and introducing of a substantiall forme into the said matter Growth Growth is an inlarging of the solid parts retaining still both the figure and solidity as the bones whose encrease the whole body followes Nutrition Nutrition is a perfect assimulation of that nourishment which is digested into the nature of the part which digests and is performed by the foure aforesaid actions Attractive Retentive Digestive and Expulsive Voluntary motions The voluntary motions we willingly performe are three the sensative action the moving action and the principall The sensative comprehends all
naturall heate encreased expels phlegme Age is also to be considered for young men that are in their flourishing age suffer more hurt then old men that are cold and drie The immoderate and overmuch use of venery procures divers discomodities as the faintnesse of the spirits forgetfulnesse losse of sight stinking of the mouth diseases of the joynts as trembling palsey gowtes of all kindes both in feet hands and fingers crampes runing of the reines pissing of bloud shedding of urine unvoluntary and divers times the French pox with exulceration of the privities Menstruous fluxe The monthly purgation evacuates not onely the humours and ill juice of the belly but also it cleanseth the body and whole masse of bloud it diminisheth not the bloud at all but only taketh away the impurity thereof for the crudest thinnest and the most faeculent bloud is purged by the wombe which if it stayed would generate many dangerous diseases by its putrefaction for bloud restrained putrifies therefore in such that often misse their naturall purgations it is very fit and necessary that they take decoctions sirrups or pilles such as are to provoke them Now for the evacuation of tumours I have seene divers that have dyed by the unskilfulnesse of such as had them in cure or else by their carelesnesse by letting the matter flow forth altogether at one time and not by little and little and at severall times as it should wherby not a little quantity of the spirits and heat hath flowed out therwith and so consequently a dissolution of all the powers CHAP. XIV Of passions and perturbations of the mind which are commonly called the accidents of the mind Accidents of the mind PErturbations or passions of the mind are the suffering of the mind either by joy hope love hatred anger and the like which bring great mutations in the body most necessary to be remarked because of the great chances that ensue thereupon for by these motions the heate and spirits are sometimes gently sometimes violently diffused over all the body for enjoying of the present or future good or by receiving any affront whereby many have so exceedingly been moved that they have died What joy is Ioy is an affection of the minde of a thing good and pleasant which recreates and quickens all the faculties and stirres up the spirits for it proceeds from the heart mooved by the facultie at the thing causing mirth and the heart thus mooved is dilated and ready to receive the exhilarating object and by the force of the dilatation it sends forth much heat and spirits together with the bloud into all the body insomuch that oftentimes death ensues because the heart is altogether destitute of bloud What anger is Anger is a suddaine revocation or calling back the spirits to the externall parts with a desire of revenge it causeth the same effusion of heate in us as joy doth but farre speedier it inflameth the whole habitude of the body spirits and humours and also the braines and nerves Griefe Sorrow dries and wastes the body by a lingring consumption because by it the heart is straitned the heat extinct and the spirits cannot be generated nor if any be yet they cannot freely passe into the members with the bloud Feare Feare is a motion which calles back and drawes in the spirits to the heart by the arteries and not by little and little as sorrow but suddenly and violently which suffocateth the naturall heate causeth trembling maketh the face pale and the extreame parts cold with an universall shaking and pulsation of the heart Shame Shame is a motion of our body mixed of anger and feare anger for being suspected or knowne in a fault and fearing the judgement of others if feare prevaile over anger the face wâ—xeth pale the bloud running back to the heart but if anger get the dominion then on the contrary the bloud runnes to the face and the eies look red but there is another kind of shame which we call shamefastnes shamefastnes in which the bloud goes and comes forward and backward but it is a gentle motion not hurting the heart and is familiar to yong maids who often blush by being taken with a fault unawares These things ought to be considered by every practitioner in the curing of any disease for if any accident happen that shall procure any one or more of these perturbations and passions you shall easily perceive a suddaine alteration in the patient Next I shall shew you the things against nature which are such as are apt to weaken and corrupt the state of our body CHAP. XV. Of things against nature which is the third part of Physicke and first of a disease What are things against nature THings against nature are three a disease the cause of a disease and a symptom Distemperature A Disease is an affect against nature which manifestly hurteth the operations of the body health is an effect according to nature perfecting the actions of our body A disease is threefold distemperature evill conformation and solution of continuity distemperature is a disease of the similar parts of it selfe hurtfull diseases of the similar parts are as many as there are distemperatures and so many distemperatures as there were at the first kindes of temperaments whereof foure are simple as hot cold moist and dry as many are compound as hot and moist cold and dry cold and moist hot and dry the distemperature is called hot when the naturall heat is augmented and encreased so much either in all or in part that it hurts the operations and so of the rest Evill conformity Evill conformity is a fault of the organick parts and ind is called a disease in number as when some thing abounds or somewhat wants that is needfull towards the undergoing of the function of the organick part as if a hand have foure or six fingers it cannot so well take hold on any thing if a man have but one testicle or more then two he is not so fit for generation Also such things as grow against naure and adhere to some pâ—rt as a polypus in the nose a caruncle in the conduit of the yard and the like these are diseases in number but if a member be cut off either in part or in all it is a disease of defect and of this sort are all such things as are contrary to nature as the stone wormes and the like likewise if an arme or a legge be too long or too short or if any part be either bigger or lesser then is necessâ—ry it is called a disease of greatnes for nature hath given to every part a certaine kind of species and bignes which if it exceed or be lesse then it is not right if the testicles pappes or the belly wax so big that the actions are therby hindred it is called a disease of encreased greatnesse in one part as when the tongue is longer or shorter then it should be it hinders the speech But besides the number of the
ascendant A Planet is a Starre which is discording or differing from the lesser Starres in forming and working for they are greater and of more power then those that are lesse The Moone is said much to alter the constitution of our bodies by those signes wherein she enters therefore I shall first declare unto you the twelve signes and the parts they governe and consequently the diseases caused by the influence of the Moone in every one of those signes First Aries hath his place in the head face eares and the diseases are headach toothach paine in the eyes pimples morphew scurfe in the face and such like Taurus governeth the necke and throate and the diseases are the Kings-evil hoarsenesse in the throate weaknesse in the necke and blacke chollar or melancholy squinances catarrhes and other diseases of the necke throate Gemini ruleth the shoulders armes hands and fingers and their diseases proceeding of bloud in the said parts as frankles and such like and some comming of phlegme Cancer hath dominion in the pappes breast ribs the upper part of the belly part of the stomacke the spleen and lungs it ruleth over phlegmaticke humours and denoteth impediments in the eyes darkenesse in the sight spots and pustles in the face the scab leprosie lithargy galling of the skinne and evill sickenesses of the body and face comming of phlegme Leo governeth the heart neather part of the stomack and ribs backebone sides small guts and the liver and the sickenesse proceeding from chollar citrine and others as trembling of the heart swounding c. Virgo ruleth the belly intrailes midriffe and over melancholy and signifieth all ill humours proceeding of melancholy as Iliacopassio collica passio and the like Libra hath dominion in the reynes and loynes neather part of the belly navell hanches and buttockes and over blood and specifieth dimnes of sight retention of Urine and of digestion of fluxes and the like Scorpio ruleth the secret parts the bladder and parts of generation and the flanckes and over phlegmaticke humours and aquosities and showeth lepry scabs spots in the face cankers fistulaes hemorhoids the stone falling of the haire scurfes and deformed diseases in the face and all the body poisoned by medicine Sagittarius hath his dominion in the thighes with the apurtenances and all superfluous parts as a sixt part of the fingers c. and over choller and the diseases proceeding thereof as Feavers Agues falls from high places darkenesse or impediments of theeyes and from the sixteenth degree to the eighteenth he signifieth hurts by horses and wounds Capricorne governeth the knees and their diseases leprosie scabs galls defects of the skinne losse of hearing speech and sight feavers issues of blood in the inferiour parts and fluxes also and diseases comming of melancholy Aqaurius ruleth the legs and their diseases proceeding of blood blacke jaundise quartaine feavers inscision of the veines and from the twentieth degree to the five and twentieth it noteth paines in the eyes Pisces hath dominion in the feete and over their diseases as the gout scab leprosie palsie paine in the feete galls in the skin and ulcers and is a signe very sickely and phlegmaticke These are the proper significations of the signes by themselves or when the Moone is in them passing through all the parts of mans body yet notwithstanding the Moone and other Planets have divers and severall significations in all the signes particularly appropriative to themselves very necessary to be observed having speciall relation to the part of the body diseased and grieved as may appeare by what is said whereby it is thought very evill to administer any medicine to the part which is governed of any signe the day that the Moone is in it except necessity urge nor to make any incision in any member least efflux of blood follow and diverse other inconveniences The Ancients also considered the twelve monethes of the yeare with the twelve signes in which they are said to worke according to their nature one with another but each one hath his severall month wherein he properly raignes Aries ♈ And first raignes Aries in the month of March for in that signe say they God made the world and to this signe the old Iewish Philosophers gave the name of Aries that is to say a Ram forasmuch as Abraham made his offering to God of a Ram for his sonne Isaac and whosoever is borne in this signe shall be timerous or dreadfull but he shall have grace and good inclination Taurus ♉ The second signe Taurus raigneth in April it hath the name of Bull forasmuch as Iacob wrastled and strove with the Angel Whosoever is borne in this signe shal have good successe in all manner of beasts and cattle of the field Gemini ♊ The third signe Gemini raigneth in May it hath the name of twinnes forasmuch as Adam and Eve were formed and made of one kind Whosoever is borne in this signe poore and feeble shall he be and shall live in griefe because Adam and Eve bewailed their fall Cancer ♋ The fourth Cancer raigneth in Iune and hath the name Crab or Canker forasmuch as Iob was full of Leprosie and Kankrous Sores which is a Worme that throvgh the permission of God eateth the flesh Whosoever is borne in this signe he shall be feeble of body but shall obtaine grace if he seek it of God Leo. ♌ The fift signe Leo raigneth in Iuly and hath the name of a Lyon forasmuch as Daniel the Prophet was put into a Lyons den Whosoever is borne in this signe shall be a bold and stout man and a hardy Virgo â™ The sixt signe Virgo raignes in August and hath the name of a Virgin forasmuch as our Lady that blessed Virgin before birth in birth and after birth was a pure Virgin Whosoever is borne under this signe shall be wise and learned and shall suffer blame for a just cause Libra ♎ The seventh signe Libra raigneth in September and hath the name of the ballance that hang in equall poise forasmuch as Iudas Iscariot tooke counsell with the Iewes for the betrâ—ying of our Saviour Whosoever is borne in this signe he shall be a wicked man and a traytor an evill death shall he dye if the course of nature prevaile but if he seeke after grace and mercy he may escape it Scorpio â™ The eight signe Scorpio raigneth in October and hath the name of a Scorpion forasmuch as the children of Israel passed through the Red Sea Whosoever is borne in this signe shall have many angers tribulations and vexations Sagittarius â™ The ninth signe Sagittarius raigneth in November and hath the name of the Archer forasmuch as David fought with Goliah Whosoever is borne under this signe shall be hardy and lecherous Capricornus ♑ The tenth signe Capricornus raigneth in December and hath the name of the Goat forasmuch as the Iewes lost the blessing of our Lord Iesus Christ Whosoever is borne under this signe shall be rich and loving
hardy and desirous of revenge liberall and ambitious they have light sleepe with suddaine wakings fiery and furious dreames they most desire meats and drinkes that are cold and moist and are subject to burning feavors phrensie jaundies bloody flux and pustulous inflammations Signes of a phlegmatick complexion You shall know phlegmaticke persons by a white face something livid a fat body being soft and cold to the touch they are subject to Oedematous tumours catarrhes distilling downe upon the lunges and dropsie they are slothfull drowsie and of a dull capacity dreaming of waters drowning floods and the like they cast up much phlegmaticke watery matter by vomit and spitting and are troubled with a doglike appetite and with the chollicke Signes of a melancholicke complexion Those that are melancholicke are swart cloudy and sterne of countenance they are subject to divers evill A Table of the Humours in Mans Body The humours in mans body are of three kindes which are either I. Elementarie of the purest portion of the parents seed as I. Bloud or the airie portion of the seed II. Phlegme the watry part of the seed Of which as of their proper elements are generated I. the Flesh the Heart the Liver the Lights the Spleen The Reines II. the Brain the spinall marrow the Nerves the Veines the Arteries III. The Bones the Gristles of the Bones the Ligaments the Tendons III. Melancholy the earthly part of the seed Choler or the hot and fierie portion of the seed of which no member is generated but thereby the parts formed are fashioned and dried in the wombe II. Alimentary which are generated of the nourishment taken into the body and are either Naturall spred in the veines and knowne by the name of bloud as Bloud Phlegme Choler and Melancholy Of the naturall humours before the digestion be perfected arise the second humours the humour innominate or oyly Ros or dew Gluten like glew and Cambion Vnnaturall or sickly as Bloud putrified serous Phlegmaticke in the veines choler adust in the liver pale in the liver vitteline in the liver Leeke colour in the ventricle Aeruginous in the ventricle Blew in the ventricle Cholerick or Melancholicke Phlegme Choler Melancholy acide or sowre salt in the veines Melancholy Bloud by being adust Choler by being adust Melancholy by being adust raw in the brain Glassie Plaister-like in the joynts III.

Of Members What a member is THE Members are bodies ingendred of the first commixtion of elements humours and spirits because they consist of a solid fleshy and spirituous substance By partes in generall I understand the head breast belly and their adjuncts by the particular partes of those I understand the simple similar partes which are in number only eight bones gristles fibres ligaments membranes tendones simple flesh and skin some adde to these vaines arteries fat marrow nailes and haires others omit them as excrements these aforesaid are called simple rather in the judgment of sense then of reason for all are nourished have life and sense either manifest or obscure A bone A bone is earthly drie and hard that they may the better serve in the foundation of the whole body and uphold it as pillars and this ought not to be all one bone but divided into divers partes that the body may with ease bend its members which way necessity requires of these some are hollow and some solid the first nourished by marrow the last by a thick bloud entring by the pores as may be perceived in broken bones which are united by a Callus which is generated of the reliques of the alimentary bloud A gristle A gristle is the same in substance that a bone is of and is meerly a soft bone that may be crushed as the bones of children are but gristles untill the heate encreasing with age doth harden them into bones gristles doe differ in themselues for some are at the ends of the bones as in the huckle bone nose sternon and knots of the ribs others without bones as in the eares the flap of the weasell throtle aspera arteria and basis of the heart A ligament As a bone is harder then a gristle so is a gristle harder then a ligament which serves only to hold the bones together which otherwise would slip asunder it is in colour and substance very like a nerve but harder and altogether without sense and feeling excepting some few which either receive the nerves or have their originall from the sensible membranes A tendon A tendon is the end and taile of the arbitrary muscles and the first instrument of motion and is called a tendon from the latin Tendendo because it stretches like a cord when the member is moved it is so much softer then a ligament as it is harder then a nerve it feeeles and is moved by a voluntary motion by reason of the nerves but by reason of the ligaments it knits the muscles to the bones A fibre A fibre is a small thred but firme and strong which nature hath placed in the muscles that so the body may move every way the right fibres do draw the transverse do put back the oblique do hold every one helpes one another as if you should hooke your fingers one within another A membrane A membrane and a coate differ onely in this a membrane is a name of substance a coat is a name of office for where a membrane invests any part it is called a coate in some parts it hath a proper name as that which involues the bones is called the
periosteum that which covers the braine pan is called the pericranion which covers the braine is called the mevinx that which covers the ribs and the contained parts as the heart lights and aspera arteria is a proper coate and is called a compassing membrane that which containes the naturall parts and gives to every one his proper coat is called peritoneum and from these the parts have feeling for if you scrape the periosteum from the bone you may cut the bone burn it or any thing without any paine Skinne The skin is the greatest of all the membranes it is the coat covering all the body except such places by which any excrements are evacuated as the eies eares nose privities fundament mouth and ends of the fingers where the nailes grow it is the sluce of the whole body through which it is purged by sweat from all fulginous excrements of substance it is spermaticke for being once lost it cannot be restored as formerly it was but there remaines a skar which is nothing els but flesh dried beyond measure it takes its feeling from the nerves of which together with veines and arteries it is composed and is by nature cold and drie ordained for to keep safe and sound the continuity of the whole body and all the parts thereof from the violent assault of all externall dangers Simple flesh Simple flesh may be seene in the gummes and ends of the fingers the flesh of a muscle is very like these â—ut it is not simple in the pâ—ppes and stones it is called gludulous flesh and the substance of the heart and liver is called flesh but improperly Fat Fat and flesh proceed both from one and the same matter that is blood the difference is that flesh comes of blood heate and overdried the fat from cold by a certaine congealing or growing together of membranes it is of a middle temper betweene heat and cold although it may seeme cold in respect of the efficient cause that is of cold by which it concreates in the joynts is another sort of fat farre more solid and hard then the former and it is mixed with a viscid humour tough like the whites of Egs that it may for a good space moisten those parts which are subject to much drines by their continuall motion another kinde of fat is called seame Seame which is much dryer then ordinary fat and lyes principally about the midriffe where there are many windings of arteries and veines it lyes also about the reines loynes and basis of the heart Compound members Those parts are called compound which are made and composed by the mediation or immediately of the simple which they terme otherwise organicall or instrumentall as an Arme Leg Hand Foote and others of that kinde the simple parts cannot be devided into any particles but of the same kinde but the compound may they are called instrumentall and organicall because they performe such actions of themselves as serves for the preservation of themselves and the whole body as the eye by it selfe not assisted by any other part seeth and by his faculty defends the whole body and also it selfe In each instrumentall part we observe foure properties One by which the action is properly performed as the Christaline humour in the eye The Second without which the action cannot be perfomed as the nerve the other humors of the eye The Third whereby the action is better and more conveniently done as the tunicles and muscles The Fourth by which the action is preserved as the eye-lid and circle of the eye The same we say of the hand as First by the muscle Secondly by the ligament Thirdly by the bones and nailes Fourthly by the veines arteries and skinne Instrumentall parts The instrumentall parts have a fourefold order those that are immediately composed of the simple are of the first order as the muscles and vessels they are of the second that consist of the first simple and others besides as the fingers they are of the third that are composed of the second order and others besides as the hand in generall The fourth order is the whole body the instrument of the soule In all these parts whether simple or compound we doe consider nine things Substance Quantity Figure Composition Number Connexion Temperature Action and Use Amongst the organicall parts there is three principall parts governing all the rest viz. the Braine Heart and Liver because from them some force power or faculty proceeds and flowes over the whole body when as there is no such sent from any other part To these some adde the testicles not for that they are of necessity of the individuall or peculiar body but for generation and preservation of the species Herein we may see the industry of nature who like a good Architect seeks not only to build and furnish her fabricke with all kinde of materialls necessary by which the body may live but also she hath furnished it with the testicles thereby to make it immortall because hereby every one may substitute another in his place before he depart this world The veines arteries and nerves are the first simple instrumentall parts the veines Veines spring all from the liver the arteries Arteries from the heart except only the vena arteriosa which hath its originall from the eight ventricle of the heart it is called vena arteriosa Vena arteriosa compositively therefore is not reckoned amongst the simple instrumentall parts for it is called a veine because it distributes alimentary blood to the lungs and arterious because like an artery it consists of two coates all the rest consist but of one coate knit together with a triple kinde of fibres and this veine hath two principall cavities one by which the Chylus is carried to the liver and is called vena porta Vena porta or the gate veine the other by which the blood made out of the Chylus is dispersed amongst all the members for nourishment and is called vena cava Vena cava the hollow veine The gate veine hath its originall in the blunt end or lower end of the liver and there it spreads its rootes The hollow veine beginneth in the gibbous part of the liver The truncke of the gate veine is divided into two principall branches the one is splenicus which is carried to the spleene the other is mesentericus which goes to the mesentery it hath other small slips that nourish the most part of the lower belly and take their names from the parts they nourish as that which nourishes the ventricle is called grastica intestinalis that nourishes the intestines cistica which brings nourishment to the bladder of the gall from the mesentery branch spring small slips to the right gut which makes the hemorroids The truncke of the hollow veine is also divided into two branches one is carried upwards to nourish the superiour parts another is carried downward to nourish the inferiour An artery differs from a veine because it consists of two
sprinckle them with salt powdered and they will vomite it up againe if you cut off their railes as they are sucking they will have no end of sucking untill you put them off if the part bleed much after the leaches are off you shall cleave a beane in two and presse the one halfe upon the place and binde it on or burnt cotton applied will stay it What leches are the best Note that those that have the head greater then the rest of the body and are greene coloured glittering with blewe raies on the back the rest of the body being black are in no wise to be applied to any place for they are very dangerous but chuse such as are found in cleare water in ponds and sandy ground that have their heads little and bodies small round red bellied the backs striped like threads of gold and those must be kept in a jarre glasse in cleane water changing the water once in two or three daies putting into the water a fewe crummes of white bread CHAP. XXI Making of issues THat kind of potentiall cauterie which is used now adaies amongst the common sort is only to make an issue either in the legges thighes or armes to cleare the bloud by some disease corrupt or to draw humours from some place and is done after this manner Take the bark of an ash tree and burne it to ashes then immediatly while they are hot binde them up hard in a linnen cloth the bignes of a pistoll bullet and having marked the place you shall dip the cloth into warme water and so hold it very hard upon the place with the other hand on the contrary side that so you may hold it the harder hold it thus about halfe an howre or something more and then it will have mortified the place that it will look black then take away the caustick and apply two Ivy leaves pricked with a sharp stick or bone and over it browne pâ—per with a compresse of linnen cloth and so bind it up dresse it twice a day untill the core come out which will be in 6. or 7. days then put into it a white pease or a bullet made of white wâ—x and dresse it as before if it chance to grow over with proud flesh you may rowle your pease in burnt Allome powdered and so put it into the issue To know the right place wherein to make an issue You shall know the right place thus put your finger on the inside of your thigh three or foure fingers above the knee and move the leg up and downe and if you feele no nerve nor muscle move under your finger there you may safely apply your cauter and if it be sore before the core come out you shall anoint it with unguentum album or populâ—on described hereafter CHAP.
