A short and briefe note for the maner of the purging of your patients being at the Sea or in such like places where the counsell of the learned Phisition or Chirurgion is not to be had YE shall vnderstand if the patient wounded bee bound in his bellie and not laxatiue for remedie thereof you may vse a Clister or Suppositorie or els giue the patient Cassia or MaÌ„na or some such gentle purging medicine But if he bée of euill complexion or habit his bodie being replenished with euill iuyee or if the wound bee greeuous and great yea though his bodie were pure and cleane yet those gentle purgings will not then suffice but we must vse stronger medicines so that there are two principall obseruations in purging of the patients in such wounds the greatnesse of the griefe and the aboundance of the euill iuyce But if the wound consist in the vpper part of the bodie then to purge downward is the counsell of the learned and if the wound be in the lower parts of the body to stay the fluxe of humors from flowing thither it is meete and conuenient to withdrawe the same by purging or by vomit which is to bee done with great discretion Thus much I haue thought not amisse to note for generall obseruations herein and such as I haue followed in myne owne cures partly by my owne endeuour and partly directed and ratified by the iudgements and informations in times past of diuers learned Phisitions and Chirurgions Necessarie medicines and Instruments good for young practizers of Chirurgerie to bee furnished with which followe the warres either by Sea or land IT is truely sayd there is no coyne so currant but hath in it some counterfeyts which maketh it suspitious so is there no arte so sincere no profession so good but hath also some counterfeyts which bréedeth it disgrace And none so much I suppose as ther is some in these daies which take vpoÌ„ theÌ„ the titles or names of farre traueiling or wandring Chirurgions such like which with corruption of conscience being voyde of the good graces of God and true knowledge in this noble arte either in reason iudgement or experience being likewise vtterly vnfurnished of all good methode or yet good medicines vnlesse it be some such stuffe which a man would scarse lay to a gald horse back with other furniture correspondent to the same neither being able to performe any good cure they take in hand no more then they are able with one puffe of winde to turne about a Milstone All which is a plaine demonstration of their great ouersight in Chirurgerie as by their cures at their comming home is a speciall token of their vilde ignorance And therefore very hardly are such able to declare or foretell the ende of their cures but rashly do promise that which they cannot performe and so bring themselues in the ende to ignominie and shame and this worthie arte vnto great discredit I haue therfore as I haue many times sayd for the benefit of young practizers of the Arte heere collected out of Iosephus Quirsitanus and good Vigo with diuers others speciall medicines and necessarie Instruments wherevnto I haue added somewhat of myne owne collection very needfull and necesâ—â—rie for all young practizers of Chirurgerie to bee furnished with which followe and serue in the warres by land or at seas in shippes vnto whom I wish most happie successe in all their cures as I wish vnto my owne as knoweth God who seeth the secrets of all mens hearts which guide you all with his outstretched arme and blesse you also with his holie hand Amen Suppuratiues or Maturatiues Vnguentum Basilicon vtrumque Vnguentum Macedonicum Tetrapharmacum Vnguentum resumptiuum The Emplaister of Mucilages which may be dissolued with Oyle Oliue if neede require Mundifying or cleansing Medicines Vnguentum diapompholygos Nicolai Vnguentum viride andromachi Emplastrum Diuinum dissolued in Oyle of Roses Vnguentum Apostolicum Auicennae

And now I will come vnto the cure of the sayd puncture or pricke of the sinew but first you shall vnderstand that the matter was so stopped in that it could not by any meanes conueniently breathe out and therefore I did open the skinne by incision directly vpon the pricke of the sinewe which I made of a sufficient length that the matter which was stopped in did the more freely and easely issue out and that matter which did continually flowe foorth was some what cleere thinne and glutinous like as though it had been a stime or muscilage then I applyed vpon the sayd puncture to mitigate the payne these Dyles following made first actually hot which I vsed continually vntill the forenamed accidents were remoued and taken away Rec. ana ℥ ss Oleorum Chamomeli Lombricorum Olei Euphorbij ʒ ◠ss Olei exvitellis ouorum ʒ ij Aquae vitae q. s.

THey which are carefull to escape the French Pockes let them first eschue sinne For it is commonly sayd Aduersitie followeth Iniquitie especially let them beware of ryot For it is sayd in the third of Iob Ryot is a deuouring and consuming fire And the spirituall Phisitions doe say that diuers diseases followe diuers sinnes as the quotidian Feauer commeth for pride the Gowte for slouthfulnesse the Leprosie for ryot and so of the rest Seeing therefore this disease is likened to the Leprosie it is to be ascribed to Ryot But because these things perteine to an other Phisition this shal be sufficient Therefore wee counsaile on our behalfe that men beware to conuerse much with them that are infected principally from carnall copulation with an infected woman for this disease is contagious Therefore saith Auicen in the 2. of the 1. in the conclusion of his treatise of diseases Some diseases passe from one to an other as the Leprosie Scabbes small Pocks pestilent Feauers yea rotten Apostumes Sith then this disease is neere to the Leaprosie or Scabbes it must be thought contagious Moreouer such things as do engender ill humors especially melancholy nourishment must be auoyded as was shewed in the order of the sixe things not natural And if it happen the yard be hurt by carnall copulation it must be helped presently with this washing Take Rosemary Sage Camomill of each one handfull boyle them in white Wine to which being strained put two ounces of the Wine of Pomgranats halfe an ounce of hony of Roses wash the yard or infected place with this after spreade vpon it this powder Rec. Litharg auri cerussae ireos nucuÌ„ cupressi ana Ê’ i. make them into powder and apply it after the washing and if this powder be too strong put to it Mastick Myrrh Frankincense of eache one dramme But for more securitie when man or woman hath companied together let them wipe themselues cleane with a cleane lumen cloath and beware the womens cloathes for they are infected and this done yet for more securitie let him or her wash the place with warme water or white Wine for because of the frication of the parts some slyme sticketh to the yard which causeth infection to the yard and the bodie therefore the vse of this order will be good to auoyde that infection filthynesse Certayne difficulties are dissolued which may be propounded touching this disease Chap. 6. IF the reason be demaunded why this disease beginneth in the secret parts 〈◊〉 some fooles annswere that it commeth by reason the humors in that place are most méete to be corrupted but if this were a sufficient reason almost all diseases should haue there beginning in that place Therefore it must be sayâ— that betweene those parts and the qualitie of this disease there is such conformitie and this came by meanes of that â—â—fluence for euery thing worketh not vpoÌ„ euery thing but a certaine vpon a certaine Arist 1. phys so this disease is readier to be first taken in the yard then in the necke head shoulders and not in other places Therefore the influence at that time was an enemy to the head and yard And if it be demaunded why it hath the termination by the mouth it may be aunswered that this procéedeth of the propertie of Quicksiluer which doth drawe humors to those parts or better thus that Quicksiluer by his heate doth warme and make thinne the humors thus prepared to expell them by the vppermost parts therefore Paulus affirmeth it to be hoate and moist in the fourth degrée to whome I doo rather stick then to Auicen who maketh it cold in the second degrée And if it be demaunded why the mouth doth stincke it may be aunswered that this commeth of the Quicksiluer whose fume hath propertie to make the mouth stinck as Auicen saith can 2. cap. 2. Heereupon also commeth paine in the head and hurt in the mouth as it may be gathered of the nature of it vnto this may be added the burnt putrified ill humor which may make the same accidents and therefore it is no maruaile if there be so great paines Now the especiall remedie is that when the humor beginneth to be expelled by the mouth it be diuerted by medicines ministred vpward and downeward to bring it to the lower parts If it be demaunded wherefore some persons being apt to melancholick diseases both in regard of complexion and ill order are not infected I say that perhaps their bodies are more firme and consequently do more hardly receiue an impression then others or by some other propertie which in diuers bodies is found to be diuers as saith Auicen 1. 1. And if it be demaunded why Quicksiluer helpeth or is more auailable thaÌ„ other medicines except the distilling of Triacle before mentioned it must be aunswered to come of his propertie or rather manifest qualitie because it is hoate and moyst in the highest degrée and the disease cold and drie That the disease is cold and drie it is proued first because it is Saturnall as hath beene shewed secondly because it is found by experience that hoate moyst things helpe also because it hath affinitie with the Leprosie which is a cold and drie disease and with other melancholick diseases againe because it is a long disease for Auicen saith 1. 3. cap. 2. That sicknesse which is prolonged is wholy cold and it is confirmed because we see this matter to putrifie seldome or to cause a Feuer heereupon sayth Galen Nothing doth properly corrupt of cold or drye 2. Booke of Complexions Therefore this must be sayd so to be because the disease is cold and dry If it be demaunded why some medicines seeme to helpe in the beginning but when they are continued they ceasse to helpe it is said that this commeth of a double cause whereof the one is in nature the other in the disease in regard of nature which by continuance doth loath and reioyce in nouelties in regard of the disease because albeit in the beginning the medicine is contrarie to the disease yet in processe the contrarietie ceasseth through custome therefore sayth Auicen There is no passion from a thing accustomably vsed 4. 1. Heereupon we sée some beastes to be contrarie and enemies at the first meeting but by vsuall conuersation that enmitie ceasseth then they become tame and the strife is ended between them this must be also accompted amongst the qualities
