weariness others feel that painful sense deeper and that either about the Joynts as if they were retcht because they are hardly moved and it is called a Tensive Tonodis weariness Or about the bones themselves as if they were bruised and t is a contunding weariness which Galen hath named Ostocopum And also more Species of these troublesome senses meeting together are joyned with this weariness The Causes The Cause of every weakness of Moving is either feebleness of Strength or too much intermission of Motion or Exercise or Idleness or exercise or Labour or plenty of Humors In Feebleness Feebleness the Cause of weakness of Motion as all Functions are weakend so especially voluntary Motion because a greater strength is required to exercise that but this happens by reason of the defect of Native heat either succeeding in old folkes by reason of Age who are therefore sluggish and presently tired or proceeding from a Morbifick cause as after too great Evacuations or issuing from the Disease by reason of the continuance of it or Acuteness or Malignity overthrowing the strength that weakness still remaining for some time even in those recover'd of the Disease or alwaies when they have contracted as they call it old Age by the Disease Those that Indulge too much to Idleness Idleness the Cause of Sluggishness either from a perverse Custome or being hindred by the bulk or fulness of Body are less exercised are Sluggish to undergo even the lightest labors and are quickly wearied By Labor or exercise both of longer continuance Labor the Cause of weaness and stronger then is conconvenient for every Nature the Body becomes Sluggish and Weary For because nothing can last long that wants its rest by course it comes to pass that those who are exercised longer then t is fitting or who take a long journey and Labor all day become wearied so also they are tired if they be long about a strong and vehement work in doing of which there is need of strength or quickness And that because the Muscles Nerves and Tendons are retcht when the Limbs are bent the joynts extended and brought about and then also when they rest the like sense and disposition remaines as was wont to be in the Motion and there is felt a Tensve or Stretching weariness And then because the Members grow hot by Motion they become weary for so there is a certain Consumption of the viscid Humor with which the Joynts are besmeared to exercise their Motion the easier not a Colliquation of fat as some would have it of which the joynts are wholly destitute which Humor being wasted the Members as being made dry do bend more hardly and they seem as it were to be retcht Also by reason of that heat raised in the Members by Motion the blood provoked to the outward Flesh and Skin doth cause there a sense of Inflamation or if it be acrid and thin it shews some sense of an Ulcer or if it be Cruder it only oppresseth and distendeth If the body be loaden with plenty of Humors A Plenitude and Cachochymy are the Cause of Spontanious weariness t is presently wearied not only when it Labors but also without exercise t is troubled with the said Spontaneous weariness which also doth foretel that Diseases by and by will follow from that Redundancy of Humors thus in a Plenitude of blood there is felt a Tensive and Inflamamtory weariness and in a Cacochymy of Cholerick Sharp Salt Humors an Ulcerous weariness in that of crude cold Humors a contunding and gravative weariness The Cure In the Cure of Defatigation The Cure of Sloath and Weariness caused after labor and of that Spontaneous from what cause soever caused after Labors we need not take much pains seeing they return to themselves of their own accord but in that which comes of it self because it is a foreteller of Diseases we ought to provide not so much to correct the Weariness as that Diseases do not follow Sluggishness because it doth weaken the body and makes it languid is not to be suffered that which ariseth from the want of native heat is scarce or never taken away yet for the mending of all which we do use either Restauration of strength by Rest Exercises course of Diet Baths or other Applications or Evacuations Rest Cures Weariness after labors the labor then ceasing but chiefly being caused by sleep because in that the Members do rest better and that especially if they be placed in that Scituation and form which is called a Meane all the Muscles being relaxt so that they suffer no violence whether crooked or straight yet let every Member have its competent Figure and also because by Sleep the Humors too much provoked by Motion are discust therefore weary Bodies are better refresht by this means Exercise doth correct Sluggishness sprung from Idleness if they accustom to exercise their Body with that which is most delightful to them or is necessary for the sustaining of life the weaker sort or those who by reason of a greater bulk of Body cannot undergo buisness or exercise by gentle means which they may perform themselves or with which they may be exercised by others as by Frictions become fitter to undergo labors it corrects also weariness contracted by vehement labor if it be more gentle then the former for so it doth better reduce weary bodies to rest then altogether rest seeing every suddain change is hurtful as it is done by going walking after running and other stronger works rather then by setting still And thus Galen saith one weariness takes away another if to that of yesterday the like be applied the next day also a motion contrary to the former Motion doth refresh wearied Bodies as if one be wearied with climbing up a hil by going down again he will sooner be eased and again because gentler exercise doth discuss the Humors called forth by that which was more vehement upon that account also it cureth painful weariness for which reason the Ancients did not only dispose their Bodies by Friction before Labors which for the most part they underwent for healths sake to relax the parts and make the Excrements fluid which they called Praeparatory but also after Labors they applied it at last to relax the parts more and to purge away the Excremants attracted and they called it Apotherapia And they made a gentle Friction by which the Body was lightly heated to loosen and relax which they called soft and little or a stronger Friction in which the part was more heated and dilated which they called hard and much and they maintained that this did diminish that did bind or a mean Friction which in quality and quantity and strength was the middle between these to which operation of the Hands they applied also anointing with common Oyl or Oyl of Savin that it might be the better accomplisht instead of which we may take Oyl of Chamomel or sweet Almonds A moist
