A50434	The history and mystery of the venereal lues concisely abstracted and modelled (occasionally) from serious strict perpensions, and critical collations of divers repugning sentiments and contrary assertions of eminent physicians: English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, and Italian dissenting writers. Convincing by argument and proof the traditional notions touching this grand evil, and common reputed practice grounded thereon, as erroneous and unfound. Solving the most dubious and important quæries concerning the abstruse nature, difficult and deceitful cures of this popular malady. With animadversions upon various methods of cure, practised in those several nations. By E. Maynwaringe doctor in Physick.	Maynwaringe, Everard, 1628-1699?	1673 (1673)	Wing M1493; ESTC R218836	80,945	223

Professor in this faculty waves all the Diaeteticks save only Wine of which he discourseth something largely and would prove the use of Wine in this Disease as conducing to the Cure and brings in the Authority of Abenzoar an Arabian Physician to back him who said nec cibum nec medicinam vino unquam privari debere And therefore appoints the common decoction to be made with Wine by analogy from other medicated Wines that are proficuous in other Diseases and for the kind he chuseth white Wine before others and to be old Wine if the Disease be ancient But if the Patient be of a sanguine or choleric Complexion and hath a hot Liver and the season be hot then he allows of water for the decoction Victorius forbids Wine as noxious in this Disease Bened.

preternatural heat and burning which is manifest and likewise I say the Venereal Lues is as easily known to an expert Physician by a Gonorrhaea Pains Pustuls Scabs c. But here is the difference a Feaver is known in the common titular notion only by heat alone which is but one signal the Pox by a syndrome or concurrence of many So likewise the Scurvy Plague and others are not manifested by a single diagnostic but by a Convent consenting But this Feaver which is so easie to be known and apparent by heat as you say If I inquire of you the true nature thereof what this preternatural heat is and how it does kindle from what principle and where the radix or fomes morbi is I fear that this Feaver will be an occult Disease also to a great many of our Professors who knows nothing beyond tradition and the old erroneous Doctrine of Feavers A Feaver takes its denomination from heat a general signal which attends all sorts of Feavers but if you know no more of a Feaver than what this common Character does discover and manifest your knowledge is very shallow and avails little to adapt a Cure thereby for Feavers as different as the Causes from whence they arise and they are many their nature very different and various and as secret in their Causes as this Lues requiring a different method of Cure Colds heats repletion of indigested matter obstructions surfits discordant food intemperate drinking watchings small Pox Worms and the verminous putredinous matter of which they are generated c. which Feavers are more abstruse in their Causes and little thought of in their Cures whereby the common way of Curing Feavers becomes so fatal to many and this I am perswaded to believe from the imprudent irrational practice that most commonly is used in the Cure of Feavers by bleeding blistering and Julips for did they understand aright what it is that does aestuate and raiseth a febril heat and the occasional causes or provocation thereto they would take more proper courses for remedy and institute other manners of Cure but of this more at large elsewhere Tract of the Scurvy Chap. 11. therefore I pass on that I may not disjoint our main intended discourse with too long digressions The generating of Worms in Mans body is mustered up amongst the manifest Diseases but this strange production is not to be ascribed to any of the manifest qualities therefore lumbrisication is as occult as the venereal virulency and oftentimes is a more latent and abstruse Disease for as much as the symptoms or preternatural effects attending are common to many other Diseases not distinguishable certainly to whom they belong but conjecturally and probably But the first and second qualities being more familiar to us and more frequently occurring therefore they must be manifest the rest must be occult and this * Sennert Author with others of the same Tribe in distinguishing and setting forth the difference between manifest and occult qualities seems to be very exact and says those are occult quae non sensibus ratione Institut med lib. v. pars 1. Sect. 1. Cap. 2. sed sola experientia deprehenduntur and those he calls manifest quae sensus nostros afficiunt quarum causa manifesta reddi potest First Here I would fain know what qualities properties results or emanations from causes are so occult as does not affect some of our senses and whether we do take cognisance of any thing but by their effects which are the objects of some sense Secondly I would also understand and do demand wherein the causes of the first qualities are so eminently patent above others as to be called manifest Truly for my part I can see no such manifest causation the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the effects are plain the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is obscure dark enough in the Fountain from whence such effects do emane and spring forth The fire heats and burns that 's plain but why Our Author makes this answer Ibidem ignis id praestat quia calidus Pray where is the manifest causation now it is so because it is so but he seems to Philosophise something better in the same Chapter where he complies with the opinion of those that determine both manifest and occult qualities to issue primariò forma substantiali and he will have the manifest qualities to emerge from the substantial form and peculiar mixtion of the Elements but the occult from the substantial form alone Now if we examine and inquire why Water is cold and moist manifest qualities and desire the reasons of such a nature the answer then according to this Philosophy must be that it is so from the substantial form and mixture of Elements and if we ask why poisons occult qualities work such strange effects the answer is that such energies proceed from their substantial form alone Now judge whether are more manifest in their causes the former or the latter for my part I think both alike and the distinction of manifest and occult to be useless as having no real foundation From this discourse wherein I might have enlarged if it were necessary we may set aside the occult nature of the Venereal Disease and allow it to be as manifest as other Diseases to judicious men being so well known by the sensible products and apparent effects that follow and assurge from thence and other Diseases are discovered in like manner à posteriori which gives occasion to discourse of and assign their causes from the greatest probabilities and strongest perswasions of reason Now we shall dismiss this and come to the next considerable in the definition Et peculiariter malignus Our Author here determines and distinguisheth the Venereal Lues by a peculiar malignity which being the Constitutive specific difference in the definition must be understood as the proper inseparable distinguishing Character univocally agreeing with the whole species morbi and the same in every individual person seized with this Disease and according to this Doctrine are the Cures promiscuously instituted and appointed without distincton save only a respect had to the fictitious temperaments arising from elementary mixtion But I am otherwise perswaded and must assert contrary to this Doctrine that Lues venerea non est morbus peculiariter 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 malignus à specifica quadam proprietate corruptionis ortus The Venereal virulency is not of one univocal specific nature but diversified and variously different in several individuals tainted with this Venereal malignity The reasons inducing me to this opinion are both theorical and practical drawn from the rules of Art and therapeutic observations in different Cures First Argu. 1. A dissimilitudine symptomatum seu phoenomenw̄n Quia non semper sibi similis this Disease hath a different aspect and is Characterised variously in several persons and although symptomatical and signal dissimilitude is procured upon some other accounts yet this equivocal nature
