belly and an extension of the Hypochondriacal parts although outwardly they appear extenuated Cough difficulty of breathing with other faults of the lungs They are averse from lying on either side Those that belong to the vital influx are the veines and arteries are more slender then ordinary in the first affected part the pulse small and weak a moderate ligature cast about the elbow or knee doth not so soon swell and colour the part beneath and above it with blood as in sound children of the same age their appetite is moderate or unduly weak I have known it very much yet no Feaver present they are usually averse to sweet things they sometimes weigh heavier then other children of the same age and stature The next are signes of the differences of the Rickets The differences are taken 1. from the essence of the disease 2. causes and 3. conjoyn'd diseases These receive subdivisions Under the first is the secondary essence the magnitude and vehemency of the disease with the spirits and times the magnitude is the mildnesse or fiercenesse of it Under the vehemency is the slownesse and quicknesse of its motion For the times they are generally foure beginning increase state and declination in all which consider first the beginning is when it appeares to our understanding Secondly the increase and declination in long diseases may be subdivided as the increase may extend beyond the consistence if the progresse be to death and the declination is either legitimate i. e. when the sicknesse declines to health or spurious i. e. when the disease remitting falls into another kinde The last are taken from the spirits or strength of the childe for if the disease fall in upon a childe lesse strong it must needs be more dangerous then if on one strong The differences as to the causes are various as either it 's a natural affect or newly contracted The first is twofold viz. either properly i. e. when the sick is born actually affected with the disease or improperly i. e. when he is strongly disposed by his native principles to fall into it this difference is of more use to prevent then to cure The disease may be said to be newly contracted when not fomented by a naturall disposition and this is also twofold either succeeding some foregoing disease or it 's immediately produc'd by an erroneous use of the six non-naturals The difference by reason of other diseases conjoyned those most usually are Dropsy of the head faults of breeding teeth Asthma Phthisick Hectick a slow and erratick Feaver and the Ascites i. e. that Dropsy when water is got betwixt the flesh and skin these have a certaine dependence upon this disease and the causes of it those that have little or none at all are a Maligne Feaver French Pox Scurvy and struma●s The first sort of diseases may happen to children although the Rickets have not preceded yea they may be the cause to introduce it to deliver in signes answerable to these differences would be needlesse those belonging to the three first may be seen in the diagnosticks the fourth in the prognosticks Indeed those that belong to the times may be a little more considered especially those that pertain to the beginning that so its first rise may be known those that discover it new begun are those signes that are ascribed to the Animal action Also those that next adjoyne as the knots of the wrests greatnesse of the belly c. and these taken together do certainly discover the presence of the disease from the beginning These signes more intense with the extenuation of the parts denote the increase In the state they are more outragious c. as for those signes appertaining to the causes if it be a natural disease improperly so call'd there 's a weak and sickly constitution 2. diseases of one or both Parents as cold and moist distemper ill habit cachexy dropsy atrophy c. 2. Sloathfulnesse effeminacy idle life of the Parents 3. Errors of the mother during her being with childe 4. Debility of the new-born infant if it be not from hard labour with many others For signes of the disease newly and totally contracted after birth they are contrary to these as for the signes belonging to the severall conjoyned diseases they may be seen in their several cures elsewhere handled The essences of the disease consist in a cold and moist distemper want of inherent spirits their astonishment the softnesse loosenesse c. of the Tone of the parts the unequal distribution of the vital spirits unequal nutrition of the parts and imperfect distribution of the animal spirits these are essentials Causes Causes are either such as on the Parents part may produce it or those which happen to children after birth The causes on the parents parts are either such as relate to the generation of the seed whereof the Embryo consisteth Others have reference to the Embryo now conceived and yet in the womb The faults of the generation of the seed proceed either from the man or woman or from the whole body or parts only dedicated to generation That which depends on the whole body hath the strongest influence into the childe The fault of the seed is from a cold and moist distemper of the matter whereof the seed is generated which falls out in parents of a cold and moist constitution occasioned from ill juice a cachexia dropsey green sicknesse unsubdued before conception as also such effects as pollute the blood as scurvy French-pox and jaundice 2. The penury of natural spirits occasioned by extenuation of the bodies from vehement evacuations chronical diseases wasting the strength not repair'd before coition imperfect concoction of the last aliment c. 3. The stupour of the matter transmitted to the parts of generation as in soft and effeminate constitutions over-moist and full diet delicacy of life immoderate sleeping c. 4. Such parents as were subject to it themselves in childhood These are faults depending from the whole body Those that peculiarly reside in the Genital parts are their to much coldnesse somtimes moistnesse whence they cast forth either an unfruitful seed or propensity too this disease as is in those troubled with a waterish gonnorrhea red and white fluxes in women the application of too cold medicines as Narcoticks especially if oft used Thus much for the principal causes before conception Now for the faults of the mother while the Embryo is in the womb As 1. A cold and moist distemper of the womb 2. All those things which hasten crude and impure juices to the Embryo as naughty dyet which heap up crudities imperfection of the first and second concoction moist and cold-diseases 3. All those wayes which defraud the Embryo of due aliment as excessive evacuations especially of blood sucking children too long after conception 4. Excessive sleepinesse of women with Childe sloathfulnesse ease vehement labour Hence note moderate labour watching and exercise which offer no violence to the womb are

not to be neglected for by this meanes the Conquest may be more sure and speedy Yet note that after bleeding many Cups are to be applied that so the motion of the humour may be expedited to the external parts How and where they are to be applied will hereafter be discovered that you may securely performe what is pressed Observe that those spots or exanthemata's are symptomatical which appear in the beginning of the disease and before the fourth day and then the sick is so far from being eased that grievous symptomes trouble Here bleeding is not to be neglected but those are Critical which break forth after the fourth day in abundance upon which the sick findes ease and symptomes remit Here abstain and fix to many Cups with scarification which is excellent What hath been said is to be understood of opening a veine in the arme The cutting of the lower veines in some cases is very advantageous viz. 1. Where there 's great debility and so a veine opened in the arme cannot be borne 2. In women where it 's most proper and profitable by reason of the excretion of nature yea especially in the absence of the menses because then the blood abounds in the veins near the wombe Thirdly when there 's feared a translation of the humours to the braine which oft happens in this Fever procuring a phrensie which is discovered by a white thin colourlesse Vrin This hath been observed in pestilent times after the drawing of two pound of blood from the inferiour veines many have been cured Of the like efficacy is the opening of the Haemorrhoids by leaches especially in those that are melancholike After bleeding revulsion is to be made with Cups without scarifications if simple revulsion be only required but with scarif if blood abound and cannot safely be lessened otherwise These first diminish strength little And secondly draw malignity from within outwards they are to be applied first to the thighs and hips that portion of the malignity may be drawn to the remote parts but being this is not sufficient to draw the venomous humours and vapours from the parts near they are to be applied to the scapula's and back yet not here neither in the beginning of the disease nor if there be fulnesse of the body unlesse universal evacuations have been sufficiently used As in Pleurisies if in the beginning Cups be applied to the pained part it increaseth the fluxion the more but if after much bleeding it only drawes what 's there fixed and hence the disease is dissolved yet it 's more dangerous in this affect being so near the heart if they be applied to the arme pits and groyns they draw the ill juice to the ignoble parts Amongst revellers are frictions of the extreme parts with rough clothes oft repeated But that is best which is made on the whole body with this Linim ℞ ol Amygd d. aq fontan an ℥ iij. sal nitriʒ ij bull ad aq consumpt manibus hoc oleo inunctis perfricetur calide totum corpus manè serò This opens the pores of the skin by which the venomous vapours are vented Vesicatories are fitly applied to various parts which powerfully drawe and revel the venomous Ichor They are commonly applied to the neck and so they draw from the head by which sleepy affects are prevented which oft falls out in these Fevers But if the malignity of the matter be great possessing the whole body producing cruel symptomes apply at once to several places as to the in-side of the armes betwixt the arme-pits and elbowes to the inside of the thighes betwixt the groine and knee By these the maligne matter is drawn forth But lest they should procure suppression of Vrin use an Emulsion to temperate the heat and sharpnesse of the Vrin With the vesicatory plaisters may be mixed sem Ameos powdered A Cataplasme of raddishes powerfully revels the maligne matter it 's used in slices with salt and vineger Or ℞ rasur raphan brion utriusque an ℥ ij sem nasturtii ℥ j. gran parad ℥ s. sal marin ʒ iij. mixta irro rentur aceto fortissimo excipiantur q. s sap●n liquid f. veluti Cataplas applica plantis pedum è stupis pexis ca lide hora somni These revellers usually are to be used through the whole course of this disease Purging is much controverted whether it 's to be used in the beginning of this disease Some utterly reject it First because matter concoct not crude is to be purged Secondly thereby the maligne matter is too much stirred up and more largely diffused and so a pernicious flux oft procured Others contend for it that so some part of the abounding matter in the first wayes may be removed lest it infect the rest of the masse of the humours and so nature though holpen with Alexipharm and strengthners be foiled But to reconcile purging medicaments are to be waved and those humours lodged in the first wayes are to be drawn forth with glisters But if it cannot thus be sufficiently performed which especially happens when all humours abound in the stomach which is known by want of appetite bitternesse of the mouth loathing and vomiting or when wormes are present then it 's fit to use purgers that so that matter in the veines may be the better conquered being concocted Hence observe that it 's necessary that the matter in the veines be concocted before purged but that in the first wayes not The Purgers used are to be gentle as Cassia Tamarind Manna Syr. ros de cichor compos And all others are to be neglected unlesse senna and rhabarb and those are to be used in small quantity mixed with the other and that when Cacochymia abounds Their forme is set down in putrid Fevers glisters are to be used not only in the beginning upon the former account but also through the whole disease if the belly flow not freely and that every or every other day For thus first the daily excrements are drawn forth and certain portion of the diseased matter is brought away Secondly humours turning to the upper parts are called back to the contrary parts which is most agreeable to nature They are to be framed of mollifying and cooling decoctions adding gentle looseners shunning diagrediats which oft draw on a dangerous flux of the belly Whilest the foresaid medicaments are in use correct the feaverish heat putrefaction and maligne

Preceding diseases For the first considering children are seldome given to vehement passions of the minde and are unfit for venery the five other shall onely be touched The first is aire which procures this affect if too cold and moist which usually is most frequent in the beginning of the spring Be then cautious As also when the aire is cloudy thick rainy and full of vapourous exhalations therefore places neere the Sea great marshes houses neere the banks of great Rivers Ponds Meeres are condemned Also too frequent bathings in sweet waters cold and moist linnen soft linnen not well dri'd Use rather course cloaths and woolly coverings each of which by rubbing and tickling the parts excites and augments the inward heate and irritates a more copious afflux of vital blood to the habit of the body Secondly if infected with metalline exhalations as lead antimony quick-silver c. as also ointments made of them used Hence children anointed with mercuriall ointments for the scabs have after fallen into this disease Thirdly a vehement and subtile aire for it extremely attenuates and dissolves the inherent spirits Also hot ointments hot sharp saltish baths Fourthly aire filled with narcotick vapours also medicines of the same quality as Hemlock nightshade c. these procure a benumb'dnesse to the first affected parts and dull and diminish the vitall influx of those parts The second is Meat and drink As 1. All aliments too moist and cold as fish and crude meats too plentiful diet cold and moist medicines also taken inwardly 2. Such aliments as are too thick tough and obstructive as hung beefe salt fish bread new drawn almost all sweet things 3. Such as are of an extreame hot and biting quality sharp and corrosive as old and strong wines pepper spice and immoderate hot medicines Thirdly Motion rest exercise and actions i. e. if they exceed a mean defect in motion and want of exercise doth most effectually procure the disease for by this meanes the instruments of motion are dull'd Fourthly sleeping and watching as if too excessive or defective they procure the same evils as the like in rest and motion Fifthly things praeternaturally cast out and retain'd of this more largely for all the internal causes of diseases may not incommodiously be reduced to this although more rightly they may be distinguished into two kindes 1. Those things preternaturally retain'd and cast forth 2. Such things as are contain'd in the body preternaturally altered The latter are not onely removed by casting out but by alteration m●y be reduced to an agreeable proportion of nature However there 's a great affinity betwixt both It 's matter of judgement to know humors particularly predominant in diseases and also by what ways they may be spied out which are various yet not unfitly comprehended under the four humors viz. choler phlegme c. Whether excrementitious humours retain'd or vitiated by alteration the interne causes of diseases Onely blood properly so call'd is scarce here faulty Onely choler melancholy phlegme and a waterish humor or an undue transpiration and sweating Choler if it abound may probably be the cause of this affect being apt to hinder the nourishment of the parts and consume and dissipate the natural spirits Melancholy if superabounding and not purg'd out after a due manner may be arrested as cause of this disease For it rendereth the blood unapt to nourish the parts especially those first affected But Thirdly phlegme if retain'd or abounding may more properly be call'd the cause of this disease For it 's cold moist slow thick benumb'd little spirituous soft and affected with an internal slipperinesse The next is the undue transpiration of these humors as also immoderate or defective sweating which may be sometimes numbred among the causes of this affect For they dissipate the spirits and withall dissolve the parts especially the external which in this disease are first affected If they be retain'd they easily kindle a feaverish heat which likewise injure the spirits and dissolve the parts Both of them exposing the parts to a cold distemper And Lastly any humor cast out above measure doth easily procure a wasting of the parts and dissipates the spirits leaving the body to this affect Thus much for non-naturals We lastly come to diseases which preceding may be the cause of this disease 1. Some have affinity with it as any cold distemper or moist or both together ill habit from too much phlegme melancholy and mixt obstructions proceeding from such humors a cachexia dropsey c. 2. Such diseases as make leane the body as daily long diseases also all feavers especially the hectick ulcers of the lungs with a putrid feaver any continual feaver that 's violent as a burning maligne pestilent feaver pleurisie inflammation of the lungs small Pox c. Also all fluxes of blood or otherwise diseases that by consequence waste the substance of the parts as diseases of the stomack guts Mesentery spleen liver c. yea diseases in the Jawes mouth and throat that hinder eating also wormes teeth apoplexy palsy c. Luxations fractures of thighs legs or backbone also tumors paeines or like affects hindering the walking playing standing c. of children Progn Prognosticks This disease in its kinde is not mortal Sometimes it 's so gentle as that it 's wrought off by age Sometimes so vehement that it rejects all applications and concludes in death Hence Prognosticks are seriously to be contempl●ted that the event may be discovered If it invade before birth its most dangerous seldom if ever ends in health It discovering a deprivation of the seminary principles and insinuates a vehemency in the causes The more early it afflicts after birth the more dangerous If it depend on the natural inclination proceed from preceding diseases dangerous Not altogether so if either contracted by the meere error of the nurse or from an erroneous regiment of health If the backbone be weak the neck cannot support the head danger of life If the first affected parts be extenuated the head be great they unwillingly draw their knees upward or suffer them to be extended it s also hard to cure Girles as they are more easily infested so they are more easily cured then boyes If the swellings in the bones of the wrists and ribs be great it will be of long continuance As also if either the bones be crooked as of Armes and Legs or there be great bending of the joints If with the Rickets there be complicated a dropsey of the head especially if the futures gape mortal If they breed teeth painfully if with the Rickets be conjoyned an Asthma Phthisick Dropsey French pox deadly If there be the scurvy strumatical tumors either within or without little hopes If the teeth wax black and fall out by peeces dangerous They who easily endure agitation
