the spring time And those countries that be hot and dry make urine like unto summer And contrariwise cold and moist alter water as doth winter But countries that are drie and distempered between heat and cold make urine like harvest Meats drinks and medicines Also meats and drinks and order of diet causeth urine to alter and medicines also as not only experience reacheth but also Hippocrates witnesseth in the sixt Book of his Epidemies or raining sicknesses in the fift part and the fifteenth sentence as for example Meats of light concoction Those meats that are light of concoction and good in substance cause good and temperate urine with pure contents but contrary meats cause discoloured urine and thin with strange contents Meats of hard concoction Meats that will not concoct make lesser contents and divers in substance Evill meats cause greater contents and in nothing duely formed And as the quality of meats doth alter urine so doth the quantity also For if a man have eaten much and not concocted it his urine shall be thin and white and sometime without ground But if this crudity or rawness in stomack contin● long the urine will become divers in su●stance Drinking of wine and in contents Also wine drunk abundantly causeth ●teration in urine Fasting long But now contrariwise if a man doe s● long his urine will appear fiery and saffr● coloured and thin with lesser ground Suffering of famine But if a man suffer famine and do n● nourish his water shall be thin and whi● with a certain glistering and witho● ground Labour Moreover exercise and rest changeth ●rine for through excessive labour the uri● changeth from light saffron and at leng● becommeth saffron coloured with lit● ground thin and higher coloured then should be And some time there fleete on the top a certain fastness specially aft● overmuch wearinesse Rest But idleness and rest doth contrariwi● cause white urine with greater and gros● ground Sleep Watching Furthermore sleep and watching if th● exceed measure they alter urine but the● is a difference between both sleepe a● watching comming of sickness and the● both when they be taken willingly in heal● For if that sickness cause overmuch slee● ●hen is the urine whitish with substance ei●her fully thick or but partly thin and the contents many and undigest Naturall sleep But if that such sleep come naturally the urine is not so white but rather flaxen and the substance mean with greater and well concoct contents Voluntary sleep And likewise they that have watched purposedly and not by reason of sickness their urine is but little changed Watch in sickness But if they watch for any sickly cause their urine will change but little at the beginning but with continuance the contents will be dispersed and at the last clean wasted and the substance of the urine waxeth thinner and thinner by little and little and the colour inclineth either to white and watery or unto golden saffron oylie or black according as the cause is that maketh it so to change Of alteration by complexion I will write in the next Chapter Now have you heard as touching alteration of urine in health according to diversity of ages both in men and women times of the yeer countries meats and drinks labour rest sleep and watch so that you must have regard to these in all judgements both in health and in sicknesse For if these be not diligently marked they may cause great error as you may well co●der What is to be considered in urine First therefore in every urine you 〈◊〉 consider whether it be a mans or a wom● and what age he or shee is of then w● time of the yeer it is and what count what meats and drinks the person us● and likewise of labour and rest sleep 〈◊〉 watch And then must you consider 〈◊〉 every one of these doth alter urine so 〈◊〉 if the altering of them from that health urine whereof I spake in the beginning this Chapter be but such as one of th● foresaid things would cause then may it be judged to come of any disease as for ●●ample High coloured water in sum● so that it pass not saffron colour or w● coloured water in winter should rather reckoned to come of the time of the y● then of any sickness and likewise of o● things CHAP. VII What be the generall qualities that alte● the parts of Vrine BEfore I treat of the signification of 〈◊〉 parts of Urine I think it good to instr● you of the generall qualities which cause all alterations in urine whereby you shall perceive not only what every urine doth betoken as I shall anon set forth but also if you mark well this Chapter you shall see ●he cause why every urine doth so signifie You shall understand therefore that there be four chief and only qualities whereof all things that are both in the Sea and Earth are made as man and beast fish and fowl trees herbs stones and mettals These four qualities are heat cold moistness and driness and these four continuing duly tempered as nature ordered them first in every perfect body be the cause of continuall health But if they bee altered wrongly then doe they cause diseases diversly according to the diversitie of the alterations And as they doe cause diseases so they change the colour substance and other parts of the urine whereby wee may conjecture the cause of the disease and so consequently the disease it self though sometime it declareth the disease it self and not the cause thereof Passive and active qualities But now to come to the matter meetest for this time you shall mark that two of these four qualities are named Passive and they cause but small alteration in comparison The other two are called Active an● they cause great alteration The Active qualities are heat and col● and the Passive qualities are driness an● moistness Moistness When Moistness therefore exceedeth alone it dulleth the naturall colour of urin● thicketh and ingrosseth the substance an● increaseth the quantitie And as the ove● part of it above waxeth rough and trouble● so the ground increaseth and continue● raw and unconcoct Dryness But dryness doth diminish the quantit● of urine and also the contents It maket● it thin in substance cleer and bright an● causeth mean colour and the ground appeareth grosser Heat Likewise heat if it exceed measure bu● little it maketh pale and light saffron colour in the urine But if heat exceed greatly it causeth golden and saffron colour● with mean substance and a little brightness the ground is mean in respect to the quantity of urine but it declineth from the du● whiteness toward saffron colour Cold. But cold on the other side maketh urin● turn to white colour and changeth the substance from a mean And if the cold increase the urine will alter from mean substance and therefore consequently will bee either thin or grosse
