which maketh an vrine of this colour desireth the companie of a man Doth not our maister vrine-monger now diue into the depth of the matter But good man I know what I can assure thee that Tom and Dicke in the countrey can tell as well that Maud the dairy maide would be married by the reflected rayes and benigne aspects of her superiour orbs vpon their hemisphaers and the suffering some syllibub and some other commodities committed to her custodie now and then to come into their possession by this meanes hindering her mistresse to further her selfe in her suite as the most cunning pisse-prophet in all the countrie shall do by the vrine if he had as many eyes as euer had that watchfull Argus or his nose weighed downe with spectacles The sanguine and best complexioned which by consequence should produce the best vrines are not alwayes the most amorous Many as ill coloured drabs as euer any hath seene haue not sometimes bene behind the best complexioned Gentlewoman in the land in such a case And it is held by many that such are for the most part solaces But now let vs proceed to some instances of these outward glorious appearances of vrines of the best note which neuerthelesse falsified the trust reposed in them And first I will instance in one taken out of a learned Germane author and then I will adde one of mine own experience The iudgement of diseases by the sole inspection of the vrine is hard to attaine vnto and of great difficultie for sometimes it commeth to passe that the vrine as well in colour as in all other points doth shew it selfe of a very laudable conditiō to the view of any indicious eye when notwithstanding death standeth at the doore the reason of this being that all diseases are not easily discerned nor yet the dangers of them perceiued by the vrine alone but such especially as haue their being in the bladder veines kidneyes and Liuer As it came to passe anno 1581. in a yong man about 24. yeares of age newly married This yong mans vrine being as well in colour as contents most like vnto an healthfull vrine he being neither depriued of his accustomed appetite either to meate or drinke neither troubled with excessiue headeach thirst watching anxiety and tossing of his body too and fro nor yet distempered with any noysome heate which might by feeling be discerned The pulse notwithstanding being weake frequent and swift with great inequalitie and feeblenesse gaue vs some coniectures of I know not what kinde of feauer the which now and then was not without some exacerbations Hence was I of opinion that the vitall facultie did then by little and little decay the vse and necessitie whereof in euery action of this life is not without great cause thought to be of such weight and moment that not onely doth it suffice as matter for the rest but doth also stirre vp and perfect the same in cherishing them after a most kinde and effectuall manner in so much as no part of the body can enioy the benefit of nourishment without the influence of this vitall facultie This yong man therefore being now wholly depriued of the said spirits it was no maruell if nature now decaying and win● by the counsell of a certaine Physitian being denied him now for certaine dayes he did vpon the eight day make an exchange of this cottage of clay for a farre better and happier inheritance But to omit many other stories by my selfe and others obserued which would yet most pregnantly prooue and confirme the same yet especially in the yeare 1617. did this most manifestly and plainly appeare In the foresaid yeare being generally moist for the most part the Winter not Winter like furnished with such frosts and tempestuous stormes as are not vnseasonable for that time of the yeare it came to passe that besides the small poxe measels and diuers other diseases there reigned not onely in Northamptonshire but in many other places of the kingdome a certaine kind of maligne if not pestilentiall feauer the which by reason it sweept away the lustiest people of either sexe we may and that not without good reason call it Stoup gallant In this disease as cometh often also to passe in others of the like nature the vrines of some such as liued not long after did appeare to the eye both for colour and contents of as laudable a condition as the vrine of the soundest and healthfullest man in this kingdome But among many I will mention but one whereof I my selfe was an eye-witnesse These foresaid feauers in the towne of Northampton and places adioyning in the Spring of the yeare were very frequent fierce and furious towards Sommer they began somewhat to relent reassuming their former fiercenesse towards the Haruest quarter In the aboue named yeare and quarter about the latter end of September a married woman of good account and reputation liuing within this towne of Northampton was surprised with the foresaid feauer of the which because at the first it assaulted her after the manner of an intermittent Tertian ague she made but small reck●ning but after the space of three or foure dayes fearing that which afterwards came to passe being also hereunto perswaded by some of her friends she vsed the aduise of another Physitian and my selfe In a few dayes were by vs administred all such meames as either in reason or our daily experience we thought fittest to expell the cause of her disease and restore her to her former health againe But contra vim mortis non est medicamen in hortis Wherefore at length discharging that debt which all the sonnes of Adam owe she was freed from the miseries of this mortall life and entred into the possession of a better Two or three dayes before her death her vrine might both for colour and contents haue giuen such satisfaction and content to the most eagle-eyed Physitian that none by the sight of the same could euer haue suspected any imminent danger In like manner if any one had felt her pulse without due consideration of the former dangerous accidents which could not be concealed from a iudicious eye obseruing withall sensibly approach the dissolution of this crasie cottage he would no doubt with old Agag haue concluded Surely the bitternesse of death is past CHAP. IIII. Of red vrines and how easily one may thereby be deceiued and of pissing bloud PAssing by many other colours of vrine which Authors do here mention attributing to each of them a seuerall signification of all which it were too much this short Treatise should take vpon it to discourse considering also that the vncertaintie of the same may be partly collected from that which hath bene said alreadie and partly by some things yet to be handled hereafter now I will cleare this point concerning red vrines This colour of vrine howbeit it hath many degrees some being of an higher and some againe of a lower coloured
