and let them be kept in a strong glasse vessell well stopped with waxe and it is exceding good The maner of vsīg of it is such that firste if it nedeth there be a purgation made of all or of the head and than vse it in the beginninge of the moneth of Nouember continuallye by the space of fyftye dayes and afterwardes once in eighte daies and consequently also when you will reduce thinges into youre Memorye takinge it late in the euening when you purpose to rehearse preach or entreate of a thing in the morning ¶ Also in a colde affectyon thys oyle folowynge shalbe notable good Take Turpentine resine if it may be gotten for it is broughte for the most parte out of Cyprus to Venice or in place thereof take laricine the waight of a pounde olde bricke or tile after the boyling or making not moistened the which being broken in pieces and set on fyer and quēched haue bene in olde oyle of Olyues halfe a pound Mastike an vnce let the tiles be rubbed or beatē in peices and being well mingled with Turpentine let them be set to the fyer of an ouer or furnays in a glasse or earthen vessell well hardened or nealed and let the licoures that remayne be gathered a sunder for there will runne out three of a dyuers colour good better and beste of al. ¶ An Ointment for the same purpose Take the fatte of a Beare of a Capon of a Henne of a Cowe and Yuye Gumme eche of theym an equall wayght and destil them al in a Lembicke of glasse with a softe fyer with the which olye anointe your tēples and the pulses of youre handes thrise in a weeke and you shall perceiue it to be an excellent good thing ¶ An Ointment wherwith you may moderately anoynte your temples onely in colde weather Take the fatte of a Moldwarpe of a Beare of a Wesell and of Castoreum echof them a like the iuyce of Betonye and of Rosemary either of them a like and of al this make an oyntment the whiche as it is sayde Aristotle dyd vse ¶ To thende that you may retayne thinges profoundly and

partium But when Heate flourisheth in the brayne it is easelye knowen by these fignes for suche partes as are about the heade are warmer and redder then those that be farre of you shall perceiue the eyes to be more rolling and the veynes more apparante As sone as they be borne their heares growe fourth and are blacke harde and curled they are contented wyth smalle and shorte sleepes they haue quyckenes of motyons and remembraunce But if the heat doe encrease and become vnnaturall they shalbe very vigilent This ouer much heat doth boile the liuely spirites and consumeth them into smokes and vapoures and burneth y t iuyces which be apte to ingender spirites wherby they be destytute of a good or salfe Memorye But if the two qualities be Ioyned together you shall knowe theyr signes by as greate a proportion as these qualities be great or lytle And the iudgement of the foresaid things shall not be difficulte as if that heat and drynes were without temperature there shalbe a permixtion of y t sence or a frenesie accordinge to the greate or small degrees of the qualities And therfore it is manifest that the Memorie may be kept encreased and erercised by the scyence or practise of Phisicke seing that by sicknes it may be diminished hindered and loste Therfore as concerning y t meanes to cure it firste of all the feedinge or kynde of lyuing must be altered according to the varietie of the causes as we will herafter showe But first it is to be noted that the forgetfulnes which cometh of nature cannot easely be taken awaye nor y t whiche commeth of a hote and dry cause the rest of the bodye remaininge sounde and perfecte This also chauncethe some times that the Memorie maye be diminished or loste by an vnaccustomed waye then it is to be feared of a worse sickenes except it be spedelyremedyed to witte of the Lethargie falling sicknes Apoplexie Palsey and other suche kinde of disseases the which are engendxed of fleame in the brayne for the whiche recourse must be had to the Phisitions Also if the Memorie be perished by extrome age it is not in vaine to be laboured to be gotten againe by remedies but onely muste be contented with a conuenient kind of liuing or feeding and must haue ministred sucking moiste restoratiue meates and linctuaries and suche as maytake away the drynes If the hurting of the Memory come by vehement purgations and other vnmesurable emptines or of drynes it must onely be remedied by good nourishing meates for y t body being strengthened y t forces and powers gotte again the Memorie is restored and fortified Therfore meats being ful of good iuyce do help much which be easelye concocted bigestid in the ventricle the wine must be red ripe alaied with water the exercise must be moderate withoute wearines the head must be lightly rubbed they must slepe long they muste lye softe they must vse bathes of warme water they must avoide sweatinges the head being shauen there must be powred on Epithemata or Fomētations of the decoction of flowers of Camomill Melilote Linsede hufked Barley Milke newly milked it must be anointed in w t oyle of Lilies or of Almondes oyle of Dialtea in y t French Guimauues with fresh Butter Let them take cōserue of Borage Bewglosse Orenge pilles preserued and suche lyke If the annoiance of y t Memory come of a colde vntemperature of y t braine alone w tout substance let coldnes beset against heat likewise drynes against moistnes but neuertheles moderatly for in heat naturall drynes the proportiō ought to be most equal to the ende y t nothinge be to muche because that a naturail heat is not a pure heat but cōpounded in y t which there is a proportiō of most equalitie For all kynde of heate causeth not a good Memory nor al kinde of drynes but y t which is of a temperate proportion and floweth not into an immoderate vntemperatnes which hath y t power to take away y e acte of it owne vertue Therfore it is to be takē hed● lest the brayne be made to hote or to dry And he that hath a tēperate head let him take hede that he meddle not with any medicines They therefore that haue the Memorie corrupted by vnmeasurable heat drines y t which being ioyned together doe oftē cause frenesies dotings must haue Oxirhodinum powred vpon their heades it shalbe easey to heale the rest with suche things as doe coole moisten And if the hurte come of ouer muche heate ioyned with ouer muche drynes the whiche chaunceth comonly tyther because of longe sickenesses or of excessyue labours of the bodye or of fyerce sorowefull and carnest affections of the mynde by the which the forces and powers of nature are greatly opened or weried the liuely spirits dissolued and wasted moistning and meanely warminge medicines hauing strength together shalbe very defencible and necessarie But when the qualities shall doe harme not alone by thēselues but y t there shalbe also great aboundaunce of humours we must beginne w t euacuations pourginges in prouiding before a concoction or digestiō if nede be The abundance of bloude requireth y t cutting or opening of a vaine which must be done w t the councel of a lerned Phisition let the veyne vp on the shoulder be opened the which is called Cephalica if the head only be burthened if y t whole body be geued the inward or middle veines must be opened If a yelowe or fleamy choler abound by the aduise of the phisitiō it may be purged with medicines y t driue out choler as with Rubarde Manna Casia iuyes of Roses electuarye of Roses syrupe of Roses resoluatiue or laxatyue Tamerindi or with golden Pittes suche like If it be a blacke choler or melancolye it must likewise be remedied by conuenient aides ministred by experte phisitions as w t the steeping or ●●●●…or of Sene of Epithimum of Veratrū in them that be stronger Diasene Pilles Indie c. But if the cause be the whiche in a maner chaneeth alwaies colde and moiste these meanes shall serue to cure it first as touchīg their liuing let thē abide asmuch as is possible in a light cleare aire not windy for the winds do hurt much And let them auoide to eate any thing that encreaseth fleame as all colde things and likewise vapourous as oynions and aboue al things y t fulnes lothsomenes of meates or rawnes muche drinke let thē forbeare much eating of fruites meates of hard digesting washing of thēselues with to hote or to colde water to much drinking of water or wine Therfore meates y t haue good nourishment ingender warme liuely bloud are very helping necessary as wethers muttō y t floshe of Goates Eapons Fesantes Partriges whose egges are of a singuler power in this behalf pigiōs turtle
