endowed with knowlâ—dge aboue other kinges and that in all partes of Philâ—sophy and the artes called Mathematicall wherin your grace hathe wounderfully profited I thought that parte of Philosophy whyche teacheth a man to preserue hymselfe in health not worthy to be dyspysed and left vntouched of your regal maiestye wherfore I thought it necessari to declare vâ—to your maiesty in thys Epistle the causes of dyuerse diseases wyth the sygnes and tokeÌ„s which goo before the same and last of all the remedyes wherwyth â—â—e same may be healed and cured for like as the 〈◊〉 no raginge hideouse tempest wythout sumâ—â—anifest and open sygnes which declare the same to folowe wherby men which haue knowledge and be lerned in y e Arcane and preuy workes of nature do so prouyde for themselues that they be sure from all perylles and iâ—operdyes that may ensue so is ther no kynd of disease or sicknesse that maye infecte any membre of mannes bodye but that hath before suche euydent sygnes and tokens that it may be easlye knowen to folow Therfore your grace puttyng your trust and confidence in those our preceptes may easly attaine to the perfect and absolute knowledge of all thynges First of all I haue deuyded the body of man vnto foure partes that is to say the head the brest the bely and the bladder Thâ—se sygnes and tokens do deâ—lare when any kynd of disease is about to infecte the head daselyng in the eyes the headache heuynesse of y â— browes a noyse in the eares prichinge in the temples the eyes to water in the morninge the syght to fayle w t dulnesse or want of smellynge and the liftyng vp of the gummes When thou doest perceyue any such tokens it is the best remedy to purge clense the head and that wyth no purgatyue medycyne but wyth v. vnces of wyne made of wytheryd grapes or of new wyne sodde till half â—e wasted a way therwith thou shalt washe tâ—y mouth fastynge and gargarise it therin till the head be purged of flegme therin conteyned and this is the easyest remedy for al dyseasys in the head Also it were very good and helthful if the pacyent fastynge wold eate a quaÌ„titie of mustard whych haue bene macerate or steped in â—atâ—r and hony myngled together gagarysynge the same wold drawe downe the humore conteyned in the head but fyrst of all yoâ— moost take hede the heade be coueryd tyill it hâ—ar wherby the slymy flegme may bâ— made more apt mere to flowe downe to the mouth Now of the contrary part whose despiseth these sygnes and tokens shalbe troubled wyth these deseases or one of them the ophtalmy y e perle in the eyâ—s brekyng out about the cares poukes or weles in the necke the câ—nsumptyoÌ„ in the brayne heuinesse in the head the squinaÌ„ eye wormes whiche eate the heare the paynes in the flape that coueryth the wynde pype the fallynge of the heare sâ—abbes or vlcers in the head and the totheache You maye perceyue by these tokens yf anye man is lyke to be diseasyd about the breast or no fyrst a swette throughe al the body breast the tunge to waxe roughe or thyckâ— the spittel to be salt or bytter in tast or cholericke sodein paynes in the sydes or shulders wythout manyfest occasyon of tyaning much watchynge suffocatyones thurst after sleape greate sadnesse coldnesse in the breast and a shakyng in the armes and handes and the dyseases therof ensuing you maye auoyde wyth perbraking after a meane supper wythout receyuinge any medycyne Also it is very good to vomyt fastynge Therfore let hym that wold vomit eate Radyshe Towneressys Roket Mustarde â–ª or purslane and afterwarde drynke warme watâ—r he shall vomyt furthwith but he that serrythe lytâ—ll by these presagyes and sygnes ought to feare these diseasys the pleurisy paynes in the longes melancholical madnesse sharpe agues the phrenesy the lythargye and a burnynge ague wyth yeskynge When y e bely shall be dyseasyd sume of these sygnes do comenly appeare before the throwes and paynes in the bely meates and drinkes to â—â—me bytter heuinesse in the knees cold stifnesse in the loynes wearynesse of al the bodye wythout any occasyon lacke of senses in the legges and easye feuers Now when â—riye of these tokens do appeare it is best to make y e bellyâ— soft and lose wyth some kynde of dyete and w t no purgiÌ„g medicyne for it is leasse ieopardye to vse such thynges that a man maye skant erre in as betes sodde w t water hony sodde garlike malowes dockes or mercurye and swete metes made wyth hony for all these thynges do mollifye the bely but if any of the foresayde sygnes be manifest or endure longe adde to the sayde decoctyons the ioyce of bâ—stard Saffron for therby it shalbe swetter and more holsome Also Colâ—wortes sod in a great quantitie of water or foure vnces of y e ioyce
therof receyuid wyth hony and salte is verye good and of no lesse effect is the water of the decoctyon of Cichepcasen or bitterfitch droÌ„ke fastynge But they which thinke these sygnes to be of none effecte are oftentymes dyseased w t these syknesses the flux in the belly paynes in y e bowelles the lyenceri iliaca paâ—sio which is a disease in the smale guttes the â—ciatica the feuer tertyan the goute in y e feete y e apoplexye the hemorrhoydes and the ioynte syknesse Al dyseases of the bladder â—e knoweÌ„ by these tokens to be very ful after lytle meate great in flatyons much bâ—lcâ—ynge the

thynges which moue vrine as the rotes of Fenel or persely whyche haue ben steped a whyle in good doriferouse white wyne of y t whych let the pacyent take euery mornyng fastyng thre vnces w t the water af yelowe carettes or lonage or enula campana for they be of lyke operation of no lesse efficaâ—y is y e water wherin Ciches haue bene steped in if it be dronke wyth wyne But whoso doth lyghtli

and greater efficacye Now I entende brefly to declare vnto your maiestye the two turnynges of the sone callid in latyn solstitia at which tymes suche thinges do comenli chance and what meates your
