Galen will have the sweetest wine to be the most moyst of all other liquids and though it doth heat 't is calefactione temperata which is no praeternaturall or intemperate caliditie and both Galen Hyppoc salut diae●… 30. and Hippoc testifie small dilute wine doth quench or extinguish thirst much more in a small quantity then fountain-fountaine-water in a large measur of one time or by often repetition for these reasons because dilute wine is cold moist ergo most proper to correct hot and dry and extinguish thirst there is also a more penetrative power in wine then in water and as humective there fore doth sooner determine thirst and my self have many yeares observed in the highest feavors one draught of dilute wine to effect more then many flagons of water or such like cold decoctions nor can any Physitian satisfie such thirst with water and not tumble upon this rock scil extinction or debilitation of naturall heat with praeternaturalie in illeo or the twisting of the bowells which affect sometime is a consequent of the collique by which they are often strangled a disease not frequently noted in Medicall books Celius Aurel saith that the Pythagoreans in Sicile Cal anrel l. 3. de acut passion●…s were accustomed to nominate this disease Sepimentum as if there were a hedge separating the bowells others call in Volentus or rowling of the bowells over each other Scribonius Marcellus doth name it a Phlegmon or inflammation both of small and great guts others call it tormentum acutum illiacam passionem and these appellations will be acknowledged for no sharpe payne in my opinion can be inflicted upon a sensible body whither Wine in this grand inflammation may be conducible will prove a quarrell between Hippoc Hop 3. de morb and Caelius the one ordayning the drinking of generose wine in this case the other absolutely damning it in the whole course of cure by which doth appear a grand misunderstanding in my last Author concerning Hippoc and a rash censure because Hippoc in that place forementioned doth conceive this affect to proceed principally from a cold cause and such humors are more reasonably dissolved by generous wine then any other and mine owne reason of this remedy is grounded upon the non passage of excrements in this disease and the necessity of nutriment by which it will appeare that from this remedy can proceed no oneration of the body with excrements because it leaveth none or any that passeth thorough any Port or passage but the bladder and for aliment no other succus so speedy and inoffensive The antecedent affect being the disturbance of the receptacles of dry excrements it wil not look like a disorderly motion to commit to every consideration such affects as doe molest the receptacles of moist excrements principally the obstruction of the Rhenes which parts were dedicated by nature to no other use elce but to separat serososhumores frō the blood conveigh them through the body by those ducts channells according to the universall opinion of all Phisitians since therefore this is their office and that this percolation is hindered often by oppilation from severall causes producing various affects the most common cause being the Stone and that in the cavity of the Rhenes though other affects are subjected in the substantiall parts thereof The Question now is whither the drinking sulphureous waters or wine doth most conduce to the cure of this affect Avicenna adjudgeth the drinking of Thermall waters either in a smal or great quantity to procure great difficulty in pissing and though the grand compression of such waters in a large proportion may force a stone into the pot yet not without exceeding difficulty and agitation of settled humors from which violence forced motion proceedeth excoriations ulcers and various distempers as dangerous and troublesome as the former obstruction therefore in this case white subtile wine that is not astringent is better approved then such waters therfore in the right regiment of dyet in this distemper white wine is to be preferred before incertayne mineral tinctures and if they were certainly known and perfectly separated yet cannot the practice be justified safe because Natura non patitur afflictionem and many rules admitt exception so doth this except against violence to nature mineralls therefore being in their own nature more heterogeneall to animals then any vegetall must though most exactly prepared offer violence to natur as for the stone in the bladder I shall joyne with Paracelsus his nil nisi cultrum prescribe no other remedy but the knife For other medicines of several formes and matter though Capevactius drew me over his discourse with many score probats yet is forced with this parenthesis to conclude Sed ingenuè fateor me nescire quid potest lapidem vesicae frangere Mercurialis in a flux of blood from the Rhenes adviseth abstinence from Wine omnino in the place ordayneth calybrate water which is a poore corroborative in a grand flux and expence of spirit continually nor is it incrassative or corrective of acrimonie tenuity and sharpnes of humors being the principall causes of such distempers except eruption or perforation of the urine therefore under favour I shal as boldly and more reasonably I suppose ordayne the use of black thick wine not only to incrassate and dulicifie the humor in the first causes but as a better sanative in eruption of the urine and for the refreshment and refection of spirit more reasonably to be adhibited then any calybeate vvater though better prepared vvith the juyce of pomegranats and quinces In our subsequent discourse vvee cannot avoyd the bladder as one of the forenamed receptacles of liquid humors and having before determined the only cure of the stone generated in this part by a petrefiring quality conferring thereunto I shall diluci'dly with out prolixity render my sense concerning the suppression difficulty stillicide or voiding urine by drops these being proper diseases of the bladder though diversly contracted from other vicine parts causally but subjected in the bladder as subjectum bene dispositum to receive such confluences the number and differences of such causalls vvill offer too much prolixity for this short undertaking for an iscuria or suppression of urine admitteth of very much dispute in medicall scholes about the causes essentiall and accidentall therefore I shall only passe to the proper remedies of such affect so caused Hippoc ●… Aph. ●4 Hippoc telleth me that all cold qualities are enemies to the bladder from whose testimony those remedies which are applyed to that part must be potentially hot and if wee consider the membranous substance and exanguitie of the part wee shall soon apprehend his reason that all cold is highly offensive to nervie substances nor can there appeare to my intellect any more then one scope of cure in all the forenamed diseases and that is diereticall or such meat or medicine as doth

nourisheth above any thing and therefore is the most proper corrective of such sharpe humors because it breeds so sweet aliment ergo no vehicle of enervation as they would have it nor for their water drinking without the assistance of more exact Philosophy can I apprehend a greater enemy to the nerves then cold nor any congregation both of heterogenealls homogenealls or ligation of sence equally powerful to the qualitie of cold but if they intend medicate water it wil obtain lesse censure though not received a comparative with wine which used with moderation by its dulced nature doth exceed all corroboratives either chymically or galenically prepared and ordained especially when the affect is chronicall for some times the affect proveth acute in the beginning and then indicateth a thinner nutriment but pure water according to Arist doth not nourish as hath bin formerly disputed in my tract of waters In Spasmo or a convulsive motion when the moving facultie is depraved wil be a quaestion controverted of the same nature concerning the use of this juyce Celsus in this affect doth prohibit the use of Wine with better reason then either Avicen or Halyabbas because wine doth dilate and thus contract the nerves which sensibly appeareth to all artificers Hippoc. 5. Apher 2. de morb educated by sensible precepts to induce convulsions according to Hippoc and not without the consent of Avicen and Serapio in this case the adhibition of dilute wine in reconciliation of these authors Celsus must by my selfe be understood to speake of this affect quatenus in principio and if my memory in so long exile both from my Country books by that ever cursed Parlament of 1641. fayle me not these are his owne words In principio nequaquam convenit vinum ubi autem morbus declinare incipit Hippoc. 4. de acutis vinum convenit quia magis dissipat attenuat and after the same manner Hippoc. must be understood where he ordaineth wine for although wine may not be so convenient in the beginning of a convulsion yet in the progresse of the disease must be a proper adjuvant In opthalmia or inflammation of the eyes Mercurialis ordaineth wine in the declention for the unquestionable drinke without any mixture because it doth then concoct and determine the disease Galen 6. Aphor 31. especially generated of cold matter cause blood in which case Galen affirmeth vinum generosum and that he hath effected this cure by the same meanes in a pleurîsie Hippoc. 3. de Morbis which is a phlegmon of the membrane succinct the Ribbs Hippoc. ordaineth the use of sweet wine as an in crassative and expectorative which are most properly indicated from the inflammation it selfe yet the stricter sort of Phisitians are of opiniō this book reputationis causa was by the Cnydians composed published under his name Hippoc. l. de acut the doubt is raised out of his owne booke de acutis where he damneth the Cyndian Physitians for their ignorance and want of regular goverment in the diaeting affected persons yet none can accept against the use of hot qualities as adverse to the breast In a cyncope or passion of the heart which although most diseases in their course offer offence to this part yet I could never meet with any that by a special excellencie or proprietie were affects of this noble part but these two Scil affectus syncopalis and palpitatio cordis and these have their prime localitie in the heart in the first of these passions and in all such persons affected the considiration is how convenient the use of wine wil appeare Gal. l. 1. ad Glane 14 Method 22 Avicen 11. Cap. 3. de Sinc. being for aliment or medicament much doubted by some Physitians because Galen Avicen doe except against the use of wine as obnoxious to such persons as are afflicted from the head or labour with ingent feavors To which I answer though this passion of the heart may be more oppressed with such consent of parts and complication of affects yet extra paroxismum or upon the least appearance of victory in nature where refection of spent spirits is indicated there is nothing so safe and suddayne to effect it as wine Averr 7 Collect. 7 in this respect it is by a compulsive necessitie to be abhibited and Averroes is of my sence in this case as also the Saraceus amongst whom it was a custome or law not to tast of wine ordinarily yet in such necessitie they were permitted wine and in this passion as the best remedie so is it also in palpitatione Cordis or in the unnatural beating of the heart least by the deficiencie of spirit or any other preternatural Conatus the aegrotant fall into the former passion which is a syncope provided in this palpitation the wine be old and pure Amongst the various diseases of the ventricle I shal only rest upon the Canine appetite or the unnatural lust after meat because it admitteth more doubt then any of the precedent affects wine being generally granted by consent both Theologicall and humane to be most proper to excite a depraved appetite Hyppoc 2. aph 21 according to its proper acception for some wine according to Hyppocrates doth extinguish hunger and Galen doth in his interpretation conceive him principally to intend this canine appetite and the specifique wine to be most pure and without mixture in my owne opinion where this affect shal proceed from a cold and depraved humor vitiating the retentive faculty the use of wine pure is an excellent remedy Hippoc de arte veter and yet I meet an exception in Hyppoc though wine be pure yet if old that is superannuated and lusty such as wee call Vinum vetus generosum by him is not in this case permitted Galen 7. meth by which it is manifest that he tooke notice of the specificall difference in wines Galen also is of the same sence but they must by my comment be understood of excesse which will deject the appetite so prove a bonum presens but if this excesse prove vomitorius and so clense the ventricle of the morbid cause then 't is a plaine curative Concerning immoderate thirst which is conjunct with al feavors and of it self an immoderate or excessive appetite of moisture whither wine of any degree may encrease or extinguish this symptome is the doubt because siccitie by the rule of contrarietie can not be corrected but with humiditie therefore wine being generally by the most Phisitians in France adjudged hot and dry can not be granted a remedy in this case the reasons of their opinion I can conceive to be no other then they render for Phlebotomie in all affects and at all times ages and sexes and the mode of France is their sole argument and they would have others accept it a Demonstrative I am sure in neither opinion either Grecians Arabians or learned Modernes will joyne Issue with them
