The Epistle to the READER AMongst the riches of Fortune and blessings of Nature there is none more acceptable and advantageous to man-kind then the fruition of Health let abundance of Wealth hosts of Armies libraries of Counsellors obedience of Subjects be all put into the ballance and though each of them be a great and heavenly endowment yet without Health to enjoy them they wil prove light the most mighty of Princes wil be found a troublesome creature to himself It is one of the chief Punishments miseries incident to humane condition to be so variable in Health as oft-times to be well and sick in a minute even when himself knows no cause or reason for his so being therefore both Sexes do in what measure they can study Health and deliberate upon Meats and Drinks and Habitations and Exercises the accomplishment whereof is their daily Meditation to whose furtherance and help Almighty God intending the preservation of Man his Noblest creature hath ordained the Physitian Nor is Man alwayes to rest upon his own judgement in the election of his Food or pleasing his Appetite seeing the infirmities of Age do often summon the excesses of Youth and find them the chief Authors of an early Death avoid not therefore the Physitian in Health saith the Wise-man but rather bless God who hath let you fall into his learned and skilfull Hands and not into a sudden Grave This Compendium is digested into an excellent Method the division into Canons not unworthily imitating that Prince of Physitians Hypocrates in his learned Aphorisms the Author also was famous in his time who having spent many years in the most famous Universities Courts of Princes for information of his Judgement and Experience in the fulnesse of his knowledge returned to his Native Soveraigne King James whom he knew best able to censure and esteem men of Learning For the more ease and profit of the Reader or Student he hath drawn the 99.

S. CANONS OF PHYSICK PART I. CANON I. THe Methodick practizing in Physick hath First a knowledge of the Disease next foretelleth the event of it and last goeth about to cure the same For that part of Physick which is called Therapentick or Contemplative followeth still the Diagnostick or knowing and the Prognostick or foreknowing parts For whosoever will use perfect able remedies must first remark the things present next forewarn the future because it is necessary to understand the present estate of the disease to the end the proper remedies may be applied then to foresee that which is to come for the more bold attempting the Cure if there be hope of health else to foretell the danger if there be fear of death but totally to abstain from the enterprise upon inevitable fear of death for he ought never to engage the cure of desperate diseases much less promise health but least of all to take the business in hand after a due praemonition of the danger in it Canon 2. Now to come to the perfect knowledge of the disease he must first search the place then the kind and afterward the cause If the place be manifest of it self it rests to find out the Espece or kind of the disease and then the Cause Canon 3. The Place is known by the Action hurt or hindred by the sort and seat of the pain by the Excrements and Accidents or proper Symptomes Although all these signes do not at all times appear all together yet some of them fail not to shew themselves Canon 4. The Action offended sheweth the part from whence it proceeds to be indisposed for a function Animal Vital or Natural being troubled declareth some of those parts to be affected So the hurt or stistemper of the Reason Imagination or Memory sheweth the Brain to be sick the loss of sense and motion manifests the Nerves or else their origine to be grieved difficulty of breathing declareth the Lungs or some instrument of the respiration to be intercepted the Pulse commoved tells the heart to be troubled the stop of the descent of the meat sheweth the stomach to be hurt the digestion hindred when the body is not nourished the Livor is distempered The Espece or sort of sickness points forth also the place to a pain with a pulsation and is from the nerve hurt or offended which punction from the Membrane distended with convulsion is from the drawing of the Nerves or Tendons with violence and dolor which tension shews the repletion of the veins out of measure when it is profound it declares the Membrane or thin skin covering the bone called Periostium to be disseated when soft and gentle without great pain it is in the flesh when heavy and blunt it points forth some of the Entrails to be grieved The scituation of the paine makes known the seat of the disease also So if it be in the right Hypocondre or under the short ribbs on the right side it declares the Livor to be hurt if under the left side the Spleen For wheresoever is the paine there is the sickness wherefore he must not omit to enquire of the sick person on which side he lies with greatest ease for if it be without he lies best on the whole side but if within best on the sore side That which issueth forth of the body indicates likewise the part affected So if by Cough there is thrown forth any part of a Gristle there is no doubt but the Lungs are to be cured if in the water there be found any piece of flesh it betokens the Kidneys to be hurt if in the draught there be found any piece of skin it
