thereof_o and_o now_o i_o do_v purpose_n to_o speak_v somewhat_o of_o the_o use_n and_o commodity_n of_o purge_v of_o the_o use_n of_o purge_v and_o the_o commodity_n that_o come_v thereby_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v understand_v of_o all_o person_n that_o every_o kind_n of_o purgation_n have_v that_o secret_a virtue_n and_o property_n in_o itself_o that_o when_o it_o be_v receive_v into_o a_o man_n body_n and_o provoke_v to_o exercise_v its_o virtue_n that_o it_o have_v by_o natural_a heat_n labour_v to_o digest_v it_o then_o do_v it_o draw_v unto_o it_o all_o such_o humour_n as_o it_o have_v virtue_n and_o power_n to_o purge_v and_o therefore_o a_o purgation_n be_v a_o evacuation_n of_o vicious_a and_o corrupt_a humour_n which_o do_v often_o trouble_v and_o molest_v the_o body_n but_o not_o of_o all_o corrupt_a humour_n alike_o for_o every_o purge_a medicine_n do_v draw_v unto_o itself_o one_o peculiar_a and_o proper_a humour_n that_o be_v either_o fleagm_n choler_n or_o melancholy_n or_o watery_a humour_n and_o therefore_o person_n in_o health_n ought_v not_o to_o take_v a_o purgation_n since_o they_o do_v not_o abound_v with_o corrupt_a humour_n for_o when_o the_o medicine_n find_v no_o such_o superfluous_a humour_n as_o it_o have_v virtue_n to_o draw_v it_o consume_v and_o waste_v the_o blood_n and_o the_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o age_n ought_v not_o to_o take_v purgation_n because_o it_o waste_v where_o there_o be_v not_o that_o abound_a as_o it_o have_v virtue_n to_o draw_v and_o so_o it_o be_v dangerous_a for_o age_n and_o for_o those_o that_o be_v in_o perfect_a health_n which_o thing_n be_v also_o testify_v by_o hypocrates_n in_o the_o 37_o aphorism_n of_o his_o second_o book_n where_o he_o say_v after_o this_o sort_n qui_fw-la corpore_fw-la benè_fw-la se_fw-la habent_fw-la hos_fw-la purgare_fw-la periculosum_fw-la est_fw-la that_o it_o be_v dangerous_a purge_v those_o that_o be_v in_o perfect_a health_n and_o again_o because_o every_o purge_a medicine_n have_v virtue_n to_o draw_v one_o peculiar_a humour_n there_o aught_o good_a heed_n to_o be_v take_v that_o such_o a_o medicine_n be_v minister_v as_o have_v virtue_n to_o draw_v out_o the_o humour_n abound_v and_o no_o other_o or_o else_o the_o not_o right_a administer_a of_o it_o may_v do_v much_o harm_n and_o work_v many_o inconvenience_n to_o the_o body_n and_o according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o hypocrates_n in_o the_o last_o aphorism_n of_o his_o first_o book_n in_o this_o manner_n si_fw-mi qualia_fw-la oportet_fw-la purgari_fw-la purgentur_fw-la confert_fw-la &_o facilè_fw-la ferunt_fw-la difficulter_fw-la that_o be_v if_o such_o thing_n be_v purge_v as_o aught_o to_o be_v it_o profit_v and_o may_v easy_o be_v suffer_v but_o if_o the_o medicine_n be_v contrariwise_o it_o do_v much_o harm_n and_o may_v not_o be_v bear_v but_o alas_o the_o great_a number_n of_o the_o common_a people_n do_v hold_v a_o opinion_n that_o if_o they_o have_v a_o medicine_n for_o a_o little_a money_n which_o will_v provoke_v they_o often_o to_o stool_n what_o humour_n soever_o it_o purge_v they_o persuade_v themselves_o they_o be_v safe_a enough_o but_o i_o will_v have_v these_o rule_v observe_v by_o all_o physician_n before_o such_o time_n as_o they_o minister_v any_o purgation_n which_o be_v before_o relate_v 1._o consider_v the_o quantity_n and_o quality_n of_o the_o humour_n abound_v and_o the_o strength_n of_o he_o or_o she_o that_o be_v sick_a the_o age_n and_o the_o time_n of_o the_o year_n and_o the_o disease_n minister_v no_o purgation_n to_o those_o which_o be_v weak_a and_o feeble_a because_o all_o manner_n of_o purgation_n do_v weaken_v nature_n 2._o beware_v of_o strong_a purgation_n old_a people_n and_o child_n be_v not_o to_o receive_v a_o purgation_n except_o great_a necessity_n 3._o consider_v the_o time_n of_o the_o year_n and_o take_v notice_n that_o summertime_n during_o the_o dog-day_n be_v not_o good_a to_o purge_v and_o also_o when_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o leo_n it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o purge_v for_o than_o be_v nature_n burn_v up_o and_o make_v so_o weak_a withal_o that_o she_o be_v not_o able_a to_o suffer_v the_o violence_n of_o a_o purge_n the_o spring_n time_n be_v best_a than_o it_o be_v temperate_a and_o again_o the_o physician_n ought_v to_o behold_v and_o contemplate_v the_o disease_n that_o so_o he_o know_v of_o what_o kind_n it_o be_v may_v the_o better_o find_v out_o of_o what_o humour_n it_o be_v cause_v as_o for_o example_n if_o he_o do_v perceive_v the_o disease_n to_o be_v a_o tertian_n fever_n then_o straightway_o he_o know_v that_o be_v cause_v of_o great_a abundance_n of_o choler_n and_o therefore_o must_v of_o necessity_n minister_v a_o meet_a medicine_n to_o purge_v choler_n and_o so_o likewise_o in_o all_o disease_n note_v also_o that_o before_o a_o purgation_n be_v minister_v there_o aught_o to_o be_v a_o medicine_n take_v which_o shall_v prepare_v the_o body_n and_o make_v it_o apt_a to_o purge_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v a_o preparative_n it_o be_v give_v for_o two_o cause_n either_o to_o divide_v extenuate_v and_o make_v the_o gross_a and_o clammy_a humour_n that_o they_o may_v be_v ready_a to_o flow_v out_o when_o the_o medicine_n draw_v they_o or_o else_o it_o be_v give_v to_o unstop_v and_o open_v the_o conduit_n and_o vessel_n of_o the_o body_n by_o which_o the_o purgation_n must_v draw_v the_o superfluous_a humour_n to_o it_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o hipocrates_n do_v counsel_n in_o the_o first_o aphorism_n of_o his_o second_o book_n where_o he_o say_v corpora_fw-la cum_fw-la cuique_fw-la purgare_fw-la voluerit_fw-la oportet_fw-la fluvia_fw-la facere_fw-la that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n will_v purge_v the_o body_n he_o must_v make_v it_o flow_v by_o open_v and_o unopen_v the_o vessel_n there_o be_v good_a heed_n to_o be_v take_v what_o sign_n the_o moon_n be_v in_o when_o
