Ecclesiast xxxvii 
¶ The Lord hath created physic of the earth, and he that is wise will not abhor it.   

☞ To the Gentil hearted Reader Humphrey Lloyde.  
Although diverse learned men of no less judgement than practise, have berebefore translated and set forth sundry books, containing the most wholesome and profitable precepts of Physic, wherein they seem to have opened and at large declared all such things as seemed necessary and expedient to be had and known in this our ulgare English tongue: yet nevertheless, I calling to memory the notable sentence of Cicero, that every man is not alonely borne for himself bu● chiefly to profit his native Country than his parents, afterward his children and friends, seeking a means whereby I might profit this my native Country, thought it best to translate this little treatise which was gathered out of the works of the most noble and Ancient physicians Hipocrates, Galene, Dioscorides, and Avicen by one Petrus Hispanus which (although he chanced in a barbarous and rude time) was a man of great knowledge and long practise unto which work containing alonely the simple and bare practise, I did add before every chapter as briefly as I could, the causes and signs of the sicknesses and diseases, trusting thereby both to gratify and somewhat ease the pains of the reader so that he n●de not ●lles where to seek the causes and signs of such diseases whose remedies were contained in this book, and upon that consideration I did also translate and add hereunto the Aphorysmes of Hipocrates redacted unto such an order that as the membres of man's body be disposed to receive some one disease and some another, so the Aphorisms, which entreat of every disease that may happen to that member be gathered together into one chapter beginning at the head and so in order to the far: and also because men often times desire to know the names and properties of compound medicines, I did translate a little book of such compounds drawn out of mesue by one jacobus de partibus, which work I have redacted to the self same order that the aphorisms be in and furthermore because I would gratify the reader, and would not he should be ignorant in the names and weights herein contained. I have hereunto added two tables, of the which the first doth briefly express such simples & compounds as do either comfort or purge any disease or hurtful humour infecting any member of man's body, and the second expoundeth certain general names of medicines and weights commonly mentioned in this book and thereupon have made an end of this rude & simple work, emploing my ●ole labour & diligence to set the same forth as truly & as nigh the authores mind as I could, not thinking but that there do some faults remain therein both because the barbarous and arabic terms which the author doth chiefly use, and of the diverse and sundry opinions of most notable and well learned Physicians aswell in the names as in the natures of herbs and simples, and especially that we be either ignorant or destitute of English names for a great sort of them, yet I did as nigh as I could follow Dioscorides and in such things as I could not find in him I did confer Fuchsius, Ruellius and Dorstemius together, and followed the judgement wherein they did all or the most part of them agree, and in the Englyshing thereof I & all other which intent any such work are much beholden to Master William Turner, who with no small diligence hath in both his herbals most truly and sincerely s●t forth the names and natures of diverse herbs, unto whose judgement and correction and all other learned in the most necessary science of physic, do I submit this little work and treatise, desiring them most heartily to take in good worth this my first labour & to accept my good will, not thinking it to be done to hurt any man, knowing what a perilous thing it is for them that be not learned both in the complectyons of men, Age, Regions, and time of the year, with the knowledge of the Orygyne and causes of the diseases, to take upon them the cure of any patient & that rather they shall do hurt then good with the sole and only practise thereof except they do thereunto add great knowledge and perfit judgement had with painful study and long practise, therefore I would that all such rash & temerarious people should perfectly know, that it was never my mind or will that this work should be set forth to maintain there filthy lucre and blind boldness, but chiefly to be a token and sign of the entire desire I have to set forth the thing which should ●e acceptable and pleasant to the Reader, & also I would that it should be for the use and profit of such honest persons as will modestly and discretely (either in time of necessity ●hen no learned Physician is at hand, or else conferring with some learned man and using 〈◊〉 council) minister the things herein contained & go about the practice thereof, & upon these most honest & godly considerations, I take upon me this heavy burden & hard province, therefore I shall most heartily desire the gentle reader to pardon my audacity & bear with my slender judgement, and not to despise this simple work because it is not garnished with colours ofrethorik and fine polished terms, but rather to consider that Physic is an art content● only to be plainly and distinctly taught and nothing desirous to be adorned and decte with eloquence and gay painted sentences, wher●fore I trusting to the sincere and indifferent● judgement of the reader, do entirely desire him to pray with me to him that created physick● of the earth, and commanded that we should honour the physician, to preserve this Realm● of England in most prosperous and continual health, and to endow the inhabitanntes thereof, with perfit understanding and the most desired knowledge of his holy word. Amen.

A sudden lax to him that is in a consumption and his hear fall o● is deadly.  
Milk is unwholesome to them which have the headache, or that be sick of any fever, and to them which hau● noise and wind in the higher part of there belies, and that have choleric decoctions in hot fevers, or that have lost much of their blood, & of the contrary part, it is good to such as have a consumption without an ague, and also it may be ministered to them which have agewes long time, if none of the abovesaid tokens do appear, & to such as have been long seek of a consumption.  
Aptisike or lax with spitting of filthy matter if the spitting cease is deadly.   

¶ Of the dispositions of the heart Ca 24.  
GReat brenning in the stomach & pricking about the h●rt is an evil token in an ague.  
They which lose their strength of ●entymes without manifest occasiō●hall die suddenly.   

¶ Of the Paps. Capi. xxv.  
IF the Paps of a woman whi●h is with child of two do wax little, ●he shall lose one child, and if it be the right Pap it is a man child, and if it be the life a woman.  
If a woman, that neither is with child, neither hath brought forth a child, have milk in her paps, she is passed her Flowers.  
Blood drawing to the paps of a woman, is a sign of the frenzy.  
If thou wilt stop the flowers of a woman, put a great ventose upon her paps.  
Much milk issuing out of the tetes of a woman that is with child, betokeneth the child to be very weak and feeble, but if the paps be hard the child is strong and healthful.  
Like as the decreasing of the paps is a sign of the destruction of the child, so the hardness of the same signifieth great pains, in the paps, legs, knees, or eyes, and the life of the child.   

Of the stomach. Cap. xxvi.  
THe stomach is most hot in the winter and springtyme and then also the sleeps be longest.  
Men can not well away with much meat in the summer and harvest, but meanly in the spring, and best of all in the winter.  
In all diseases to be steadfast of mind, and to be content with such things as be ministered to him, is a laudable sign, but the contrary is very evil.  
Drink of wine doth take away hunger.  
If he which goeth very dry to bed step, it is good.  
If they which have certain murmuring and wind in their belies, have great pains in the loins, they shall have moist dejections, if the wind do nether come forth nor great multitude of urine, and all these do chance in fevers.  
If in a lax or vomit such things be purged as ought to be purged, it doth ease the patient and it is nothing grievous, but if no it chanceth contrary.  
Let such as can not easily vomit, be purged downward, but not in the summer.  
In all kind of diseases if black choler be purged upward or downward without a medicine, it is perilous.  
In the pains of the small guts called yl●aca, vomiting, yesking, convulsion, or doting be evil.  
A convulsion and yesking after a great purging, are to be feared.  
A sudden and voluntary vomiting, healeth him that hath had a long lax.  
Yesking is good to him which hath a heat & swelling in the liver.   

¶ Of the diseases in the liver. Capi. xxvii  
AN ague taketh away the grief and pains in the liver.  
A wound in the brains, heart, midrife, small guts, stomach, or liver is deadly.  
If he whose liver mattreth be brennid and thereout issue pure and whit matter, he shall escape, but if it be like dregs he shall shortly die.  
Many diseases proper, to the summer do chance in harvest, as quartans and Hydropsyes engendered in the spleen.  
If he which hath the dropsy be wounded, it is hard to hele him. Whosoever hath grypinges about the havel, and pains in the loins and cannot be helped by purgations or otherwise shall fall to a dry hidropsye.  
The cough going before the hidropsye is evil, but in the hydropsy much worse.  
If they which he splenetike, have a bloody flux which will long continue, they fall to the hydropsye, or their meat shall cume through them undygestyd and so they die.  
A bloody flux, an hidropsy or madness after a frenzy, are laudable.  
Whoso have their liver full of water, and it break downward to the belly, it is death.  
If he that hath an ague be taken wi●h the yellow iandes the vii the ix the xi or xiiii day, it is laudable, if the right side wax not hard, but if it do, it is contrary.  
An ague taketh away the pains under the syddes, if it be without great heat and swelling.   

¶ Of the gall and spleen. Capi. xxviii.  
IF the yellow jaundice, chance in an ague before the seventh day, it is evil.  
They which have the yellow iandes be not full of wind.  
If their liver which have the yellow ye iandes be hard, it is an evil sign.  
A bloody flux is good to th●● that be splenetyke.   

¶ Of all kind of fluxyons. Cap. x●●●  
IN a lax diverse kinds of 〈◊〉 be good, except they change to 〈◊〉 as be evil.  
Black sieges like to filthy b●●ude bein● voluntary be wonderful evil wh●rther they be with an 〈◊〉 or without an ague, and the de●ker to our they have, the worse they be, but if these sieges come through a purgation they be more laudable, 〈◊〉 & although they be of diverse colours the be not evil.  
To have a siege of plain m●●●●cholye, or to parbreak the same in y● beginning of any disease is deadly  
Whosoever is brought weak either by some grievous disease or sickness of long continuance, or by wounds received, or any other way, and thereupon have a siege of melancholy like to black blood he shall doubtless day the day after.  
A bloody flux beginning with a melancholic siege, is deadly.  
little pieces ●f flesh appearing in a bloody sie●e, be tokens of present death.  
vain desire to the stole in a woman with child, killeth the child.  
Tart or sharp belching suddenly chancing to him whose meat cometh through him indigestid, is veri good.  
In long continuance of a bloody flux, to abstain from meat, is veri evil & if it be with an ague much worse  
A bloody flux is good to such as be splenetike.  
A sudden bloody flux after a sincer or clean siege, is to be feared.  
If a great lax chance in a white morfewe, it taketh away the disease.  
Frothy sieges in a flux, do declare the phlegm to come from the head.  
It is an evil token in a sharp ague, to have a convulsion, or painful gripings in the belly.  
Pains in the higher parts of the belly, be more gentle & of leasser peril than they which be in the lower part.  
If he which hath the strangury, be taken with the pains in the small guts called iliaca, he shall die which in seven days, except a fever take him with much flux of urine.   

☞ Of the fundament. Ca thirty.  
IF the hemorrhoids chance to such as be melancholic mad, or fantic, it is laudable.  
If he that hath long time had the hemorrhoids be healed, & not one left open, it is to be feared lest he fall to a consumption or hidropsye  
The hemorrhoids be very good to such as have a melancholic madness, or great grief in the reins.   

¶ Of the disposition of reins. Capi. xxxi.  
THey which have the pains in the reins after xl years of age, can not be healed.  
They whose urine is full of gravel be seek of the stone, either in the reins, or in the bladder.  
Diseases in the reins and bladder, are scant curable in old men. little bladders or bubbles in a man's urine, do betoken pains in the reins, and long diseasys.  
The higher part of the urine fatty & thick, is a sign of pains in the reins and sum grievous disease.  
If the above said tokens appear in such as be seek in the reins, & also have sore pains in the muscles of the back, if the pains be inward it signifieth an apostem in the inner parts, but if they be outward the apostem shallbe there also.  
Much phlegm contained betwixt the stomach and the midrife, having no way to the belly, is soon dissoluid if it issue by the veins to the bladder, and thence forth in urine.   

¶ Of the diseases in the bladder. Cap. 32.  
IN moist and wit season, long agewes fluxes, rottenness, the falling evil, the squinancy, and the palsy do chiefly reign, but contrary in dry seasons, consumptions, blearnes gouts, stranguryes & bloody fluxes  
Children be often grieved with pains in the throat, and falling of the jaws, worms in the belly, & stranguryes.  
Old men have most commonly these diseases, shortness of breath, rheum, the cough, the stranguris, difficulty of urine, gouts, daselinge in the head, pains in the reins, palses in their bodies out of just temperanse, y● itch, watchings with moistness in the belly eyes and nosthriles dullness of sight, and hearing.  
If his water that is seek of an Ague be little in quantity thick and full of crumbs, & thereupon his urine follow much in quantity and thine it is very good,  
Whosoever in an ague hath his water troubled like to the urine of an ox or cow, hath or shortly shall have the headache.  
In such diseases as shallbe ended the seventh day, there shall appear in the pacyentes' urine a red cloud the fourth day with other reasonable tokens.  
urine white and clear is not laudable, and especially in them which be fantic or do●ing.  
They which be like to have an apostem in their joints, be delivered thereof by much urine white & thick as that which cometh from such as have been iiii. days seek of an ague  
Blood or matter in the urine doth declare ulcers, and biles, either in the reins or bladder.  
little pieces 〈◊〉 flesh and hears in the urine co●●●rom the reins.  
Contents like bran in the urine signify a Pock or Scab in the bladder.  
They which p●sse blood have a vain broken in th●●●ynes.  
If they which 〈◊〉 blood or crumbs, or else hau●●he ●tranguri, if the pains be benesh the belis about the share, the disease is in the bladder.  
Gravel in the urine betokeneth the stone in the bladder.  
He that pisseth blood or matter, & he in whose urine scales do appear, or the water have a strong smell, hath ulcers in the bladder.  
Whoso hath pustules or welkes in his yard, and if they break and the matter run out, they shallbe shortly hold.  
To piss much in the night, doth betoken a lytlel siege.  
The strangury chanceth to that parson which hath a hot swelling in the fundament, or matrix, and to him whose reins do matter, & yesking ever followeth the heat & swelling in the liver.  
Diseases in the reins and bladder, are hard to heal in old men.  
Contents in the bottom of the urine like unto thick bran, signify the disease long to continue.  
If the water do appear unlike of substance, it betokeneth great mystemperance, for diversity of humours within the body.  
Drinking of wine, healeth the strangury, and him that cannot hold his water, & it is also good to let blood of the inner veins about the ankle.   

¶ Of the membr●s of generation in men. Capi. xxxiii.  
Likewise in men, either for the rarity of the body, the spirits go out, so that the seed can not come to his due place: or for the thiknesse thereof the humour cannot get forth, neither wax hot for the coldness, and so it heapeth in that place or else the same thing cometh of great heat.  
A bone a gristel, a synow, and the the top of the yard being cut, will neither grow nor join together.   

¶ Of the membres of generation in women. Ca xxxiiii  
IF the winter be moist and warm & the southwind blow, the spring time dry with northwyndes, those women that be then with child shall of every light occasion lose their children, & the children then borne shallbe weak and seckely, wherefore they shall either die strength with, or else all their life time be, fayntye and full of diseases.  
If a woman with child must ned● be purged, let that be from the fourth month to the seventh, yet those somewhat lease, but before four & after seven let them receive no purgations  
The suffumigation of sweet odurs doth bring forth the flowers, & is good for diverse other things if it did not cause the head to be drousi.  
letting of blood doth kill the child, but the nigher the birth the more perilous it is.  
If a woman with child be taken with any grievous disease, it is death.  
The fluxion of the flowers taketh a way vomiting of blood.  
If the flowers stop it is good to bleed at the nose.  
It is perilous for a woman with child to have a great lax.  
sneezing is very good to her that hath the mother, or that travaylethe of childbirth.  
She whose flowers be evil colourid or that keep not their common cour●● had need to take a purgation.  
If thou wouldest know whether ● woman hath conceived or no, geum her water and honey mingled together to drink when she goeth to sleep and if she feel grypinges and pains in her belie she is with child, i● she feel non she is not.  
A woman which hath concevyd a male is well colouryd, but if it be a female, it is contrary.  
Those women which be very small and lean before they conceive, shall lose one child before they wax gross, Those women which being mean of body, do lose their children the second or third month without manifest occasion, have the closures of their wombs full of filthy matter, wherefore they cannot sustain the weight of the child, but suddenly break.  
They which be very fat cannot conceive till they wax lean, for the ●outh of their matrix is stopped ●p with fatness.  
If thou wilt provoke the flowers ●ause the woman to sneeze, and in the ●eane while stop her nose & mouth  
They which be with child have their wombs closed up.  
If a woman with child be taken with an ague, and wax very hot, without manifest occasion, she hath great pains in childebyrthe, or else ●he loseth her child with peril of her twne life.  
If a convulsion, and faintness ●ake a woman in the time of her flou●●s, it is perilous.  
If the flowers have to much issue there do ensue diverse diseases, & if they be stopped there followeth great grief in the womb.  
If a woman hath not conceived, & thou wilt know whether she shall conceive or no▪ let her be well covered with clothes, & beneath let a suffumigation be made of hot things and odoriferous, for if the smell come up through her body to the nose & mouth, be sure that she is not barren of herself.  
If a woman with child have her flowers, it is impossible the child should be healthful.  
The flowers stopping with an ague or great cold, and the woman loath her meat, say she is with child.  
The matrix cold and gross, or veri moist, is not apt to conceive, for the seed is therein quenched & destroyed. Likewise if it be dry and very hot, for them is the seed lost for lack nourishment, but they whose matrix is of a mean temperature be plentiful & do often conceive, if thou wilt know more read above in the disposion of the Paps.   

¶ Of the disposyon of the outward membres Capi. xxxv.  
IF two great griefs do happen in diverse members at one time, the gre●ter taketh away the lease.  
Pains in the knees and loins, or gripings in the belly coming upon him that hath non ague, do signify that he should be purged down ward.  
In painful fevers apostemes do often happen about the knees and cheeks.  
The sickness shall chief remain in that place which was grieved before it began.  
The joints of such as have had a fever for a long season, shall ache & be full of pustules.  
Great pains & swellings in the joints which any breaking or issue, do signify that the gout or cramp shall follow, and many be remedied with much washing with cold water, for that doth extenuat the humour and take a way the pains, for a mean cold extinguisheth.  
Letting of blood doth utterly take a way such pains as begin at the back, & thence remove to the arms. Enuches be never bald nor gouty.  
Women have never the gout as long as they have their flowers.  
A child hath never the gout until he hath known a woman.  
All kind of gouts (if the inflammation be quenched) within forty days, do end.  
All gouts do chiefly reign in springtyme and harvest.  
If the hip bone fall out of his place after a long sciatica, there shall much matter follow, or the leg will consume away, and the patient shall halt, except he be burned.   

¶ Of the Fevers and Agues. Capi. xxxvi.  
THe sickness itself, & the time of the year do plainly declare the time of the fits, the chief time of the disease, & the order in the fits.  
Old men be never troubled with sore agewes because their bodies be cold.  
All sharp diseases are judged in fourteen days.  
quartans in summer be very short in Autumn much longer, in winter longest of all.  
It is much better that he which hath a convulsion be taken with an ague, than he which hath an ague be taken with a convulsion.  
If his flesh that hath a sore ague do either fall nothing away at all or decay very much it is evil for the first betokenith long continuance of the disease, and the other great weakness in the person.  
At the beginning and ending of an ague, all things be of more strength then in the chief part thereof.  
In all diseases they be in lease jeopardy to whose nature age, accuston, or time of the year the sickness doth agree, than they with whom it doth in no point agree.  
Wh●n the summer is not unlike to the springe time you shall look for much sweting in all agewes.  
In dry seasons there shall reign diverse sore agewes.  
All diseases in the harvest season be perilous and deadly, but in the springtyme most gentle and easy.  
In the summer these do chief reign, continual and brening agews tertyan and quartain fevers, vomiting, laxes, blernesse with ulcers in the mouth and privy membres. A cold stiffness chancing the sixth day in any fever doth take away all judgement.  
All fevers which do not intermit and give over the third day be perilous, but if the patient have no fyte that day there is no ieope●dy.  
If great coldness take him which is veri week through a continual ague it is deadly.  
If in a continual ague the outward membres be very cold and the inward parts hot and dry, it is a token of death  
If in an ague pustules and pains chance in the joints, it is a sign that the patient feedeth well.  
In a continual Fever, if the lips, the eyes, the Nose or the mouth be writhen and out of fashion, so that the patient can not see nor here and therewith all his body be weak, it is a sign that death is at hand.  
A sudden lax or dotage in a continual fever is deadly.  
An apostem which doth not break at the first judging day in a Fever, doth signify the long continuance of the disease.  
Uoluntary tears in agewes be laudable, but they which flow against the patients will be to be feared.  
All Agewes with swelling in the fundament be evil except such as endure but one day.  
If he which hath an ague do sweat very much and the disease continue it is evil, for it betokeneth long sickness and abundance of humours  
He that hath a convulsion or dissension in the sinews, and thereupon an ague, is suddenly delivered.  
A tertyan not ended in seven fits shall continue long.  
The yellow jaundice coming upon him that hath a Fever before the seventh day is perilous.  
To be afraid in his sleep, or to have the cramp is evil.  
To be short brethyd in an ague is the sign of a convulsion.  
Soryful sighs in sharp agewes be to be feared.  
They which have the quartain have seldom convulsyons, and if he which hath a convulsion fall to a quartain he shallbe delivered from his convulsion.  
If he which hath an ague sweat in these days following it is very good, the third, the. u.viis, ix. xi.xiiii.xvii.xxi▪ xxvii, xxxi. xxxiiii. for the sweets do judge the fever, but if they be otherwise, they declare long continuance of the disease & great pains.   

¶ Of the diet to be observed in agues. Capi. xxxvii  
IN all diseases of long continuance the patient most use little meat, & exquisite, but in sharp diseases that is perilous, yet to eat to little or to much be both evil.  
Sack m●n do more often err in using little meat, then in that diet which is somewhat larger, whereby they be oft hurt, yea and to such as be in health small fare, and exquisite diet, is very perilous, because they easily err therein.  
Unto extreme diseases extreme cures be necessary.  
When the disease is most extreme and sharp the patient shall by and by have wondered pains, wherefore he most use most small and thin diet & as the disease is from extreme pains so most the diet amend.  
When the sickness is most violent than most the patient use least meat of al.  
The physician most mark well whither the patient using such small diet may endure to the state & strength of the disease, or whither the pains will first assuage or no  
If the sickness in the beginning be most fervent, then most the pacicyent use little meat, but if the sickness be afterward most violent the pacyentes' meat most be somewhat before diminished, but in the beginning he most feed well that he may be able to abide the disease.  
The patient most forbear meat in the fits, & especially in such agewes that do intermyt & come bifits. Among all other old men may best a way with fasting, them such as be of middle age, after young men, and worse of all children & especially such as be quick and lusty.  
Such as grow, have much natural heat within them & therefore do require much meat, which if they have not their bodies do soon consume, but contrary little meat will derue old men, because they have but little natural heat which with much meat is soon quenched, & therefore they have not so fervent Agues because their bodies be cold.  
The stomach & inward parts be most hot in winter & springetime, wherefore men most than feed better, for the inward heat than being much doth require much meat & for a proof thereof mark the ages & the champions Moist meats be best of all to such as be sick of agues, & chief to children, & to such as have been accustomed like meats.  
You must mark whether you shall give them meat onse or twice, and to whom you must give more, to whom less, and somewhat you moste bear with the time of the year, the country, the age of the person, and with the accustomed use.  
In summer and autumn men may scarce away with much meat, but in the winter best of all, and mean in the spring.  
To such as have their sickness by certain fits in order, you shall give nothing, neither add nor dimynishe afore the time of judging.   
¶ Here end the Aphorisms of Hippocrates, set in order for every member, and translated out of latin into english by Humfre Lloyd.   

A Book containing the names of the compound medicines, which be good for all ky●de of diseases that may chance in any member of man's body, in reading of which book I would the gentle reader should be admonished of one thing, which is that I do commonly through all this book use the latin names, & have not translated the same to the english tongue, being moved thereunto, because that many of them he such that they cannot be well Englished, and also t●at the apothecary's which have such medicines to sell do commonly use the Latin or rather Arabike, and barbarous terms, and not the english n●mes thereof, upon which considerations I thought it best to use the same through all this present book.

The epistle of Diocles unto king Antigonus, which teacheth a man to preserve himself in health.  
IN so much that your grace being now somewhat run in years (most noble Prince Antigonus) is endowed with knowledge above other kings, and that in all parts of Philosophy and the arts called Mathematical wherein your grace hath wonderfully profited: I thought that part of Philosophy which teacheth a man to preserve himself in health not worthy to be despised and left untouched of your regal majesty, wherefore I thought it necessari to declare v●to your majesty in this Epistle, the causes of diverse diseases with the signs and tokens which go before the same, and last of all the remedies wherewith ●●e same may be healed and cured, for like as the 〈◊〉 no raging & hideouse tempest without sum●●anifest and open signs which declare the same to follow, whereby men which have knowledge and be learned in the Arcane and privy works of nature do so provide for themselves that they be sure from all perils and i●operdyes that may ensue, so is there no kind of disease or sickness that may infect any member of man's body but that hath before such evident signs and tokens that it may be easily known to follow. Therefore your grace putting your trust and confidence in those our precepts may easily attain to the perfect and absolute knowledge of all things.  
First of all I have divided the body of man unto four parts, that is to say the head, the breast, the belly, and the bladder.  
Th●se signs and tokens do declare when any kind of disease is about to infect the head, dazzling in the eyes, the headache, heaviness of the brows, a noise in the ears, prichinge in the temples, the eyes to water in the morning & the sight to fail, with dullness or want of smelling and the lifting up of the gums.  
When thou dost perceive any such tokens, it is the best remedy to purge & cleanse the head (and that with no purgative medicine) but with, v. ounces of wine made of wytheryd grapes, or of new wine sod till half ●e wasted a way, therewith thou shalt wash t●y mouth fasting, and gargarise it therein till the head be purged of phlegm therein contained, and this is the easiest remedy for all diseases in the head. Also it were very good and healthful, if the patient fasting would eat a quantity of mustard which have been macerate or steeped in ●at●r and honey mingled together, & gagarysing the same would draw down the humour contained in the head, but first of all yo● most take heed the head be covered tyill it h●ar, whereby the slimy phlegm may b● made more apt & mere to flow down to the mouth.  
Now of the contrary part, whose despiseth these signs and tokens shallbe troubled with these diseases, or one of them, the ophtalmy, the pearl in the ey●s, breaking out about the cares poukes or weles in the neck, the c●nsumptyō in the brain, heaviness in the head, the squinan eye, worms which eat the hear, the pains in the flap that covereth the wind pipe, the falling of the hear, s●abbes or ulcers in the head, and the totheache.  
You may perceive by these tokens if any man is like to be diseasyd about the breast or no, first a sweat through all the body & breast the tongue to wax rough or thick, the spittle to be salt or bitter in taste or choleric, sudden pains in the sides or shoulders without manifest occasion, of tyaning much watching, suffocatyones, thirst after sleep, great sadness, coldness in the breast, and a shaking in the arms and hands, and the diseases thereof ensuing you may avoid with parbreaking after a mean supper, without receiving any medicine. Also it is very good to vomit fasting,  
Therefore let him that would vomit, eat radish, Towneressys, Rocket, Mustard▪ or purslane, and afterward drink warm water & he shall vomit forthwith, but he that serrythe lytell by these presagyes and signs ought to fear these diseases, the pleurisy, pains in the longs, melancholical madness, sharp agues, the frenzy, the lythargye, and a burning ague with yesking.  
When the belly shall be dyseasyd, sum of these signs do commonly appear before, the throws and pains in the belly, meats and drinks to ●●me bitter, heaviness in the knees, cold stiffness in the loins, weariness of all the body without any occasion, lack of senses in the legs, and easy fevers, Now when ●riye of these tokens do appear it is best to make the belly● soft and lose with some kind of diet and with no purging medicine, for it is lease jeopardy to use such things that a man may scant err in, as betes sod with water & honey, sod garlic, malowes, dock, or mercury and sweet meats made with honey, for all these things do mollify the belly, but if any of the foresaid signs be manifest or endure long add to the said decoctyons the juice of b●stard Saffron, for thereby it shallbe swetter and more wholesome. Also Coleworts sod in a great quantity of water, or four ounces of the juice thereof received with honey and salt, is very good, and of no less effect is the water of the decoction of Cichepcasen or bitterfitch drunk fasting, But they which think these signs to be of none effect, are oftentimes diseased with these sicknesses, the flux in the belly, pains in the bowels, the lyenceri, iliaca pa●sio which is a disease in the small guts, the sciatica, the fever tertyan, the gout in the feet, the apoplexy the hemorrhoids, and the joint sickness.  
All diseases of the bladder, ●e known by these tokens, to be very full after little meat, great in flatyons, much belching, the pale colour of all the body, heavy or sad sleep, urine wane of colour, and great pains in the making there of, with swelling about the privy membres, after which tokens it is good to use odoriferous things which move urine, as the roots of Fenel or parsley which have been steeped a while in good & doriferouse white wine, of that which let the patient take every morning fasting three ounces with the water of yellow carets or lonage or enula campana, for they be of like operation, & of no less efficacy is the water wherein Ciches have been steeped in, if it be drunk with wine. But whoso doth lyghtli passover these tokens shall look for sum of these diseases the hydropsye, the bigness of the spleen, pains in the liver, the stone, pains in the reins, the strangury, and th● distension of the be●y. And her it is to be noted that in all these signs before rehearsed we ought to minister gentle and easy medicines to children, and to such as be elder, medicines that be of more strong operation and greater efficacy.  
Now I intend briefly to declare unto your majesty the two turnings of the son called in latin solstitia (at which times such things do comenli chance) and what meats your ●●ur grace shall use or abstain from in either of them, taking my beginning at the winter turning.  

¶ The winter turn.  

Solūitiū●●emale which I call that winter turn is about the xi. day of December when the sun entereth the Goat.  IN the winter turn do rheums and humidity increase in men's bodies till the spring equinoctial, therefore it is good to eat who●e meats and to drink sweet wines and especially with wild marg●ram, and also to use the company of women.  
☞ There be from the winter turning to the spring equinoctial ninety days.   

¶ The springtyme equinoctial.  
¶ From the spring equinoctial unto the rising of the seven stars called vergiliac, doth phlegm and sweat corruption of the blood engendre in man's body, 
The spring equinoctial is the ten day of March when the son entereth the Rame.  and for that cause it is good to use moist and tart meats, to excercise the body, & not to abstain from women, from the springe equinoctial to the rising of pleiades be. xivi. days.   

❧ The rising of the seven stars.  
☞ Choler and vytter matter beareth rule in man from this time unto the summer turning, 
The seven sters called vergilia● or p●e●adꝭ rise which the seen about the ix day of may  therefore use meats that be sweet, laxative, & beware of acts venereal, from the resign of pleiades unto the summer turn be xlv days.   

☞ The summer turning.  
☜ At this time is melancholy augmented tell the harvest equinoctial, therefore drink cold water and smell odoriferous things, 
The summer turn is about ten of july, when the sone entereth the Crab.  & as for ●enus you most either use it moderately or eschew it utterly, we have to the harvest equinoctial ninety and three days.   

¶ The harvest equinoctial.  
¶ Phlegm & thine flurrons abound from this time to the setting of the sevyn stars, 
The harvest equinoctial is about the 14 of September when the sun entereth the balance.  therefore it is good to purge the humours or to stop the fluxyons, and to eat all tart and moist meats, to parbreak nothing at all, to exercise the body, and to flee women, from which time to the setting of the seven stars be xxxvi days.   

☞ The setting of the seven Stars.  
☞ From this time to the winter turning doth phlegm bear dominion in man, 
The six stars set with the son about the ten of November  therefore you most eat fat & bitter things, drink sweet wines, and exercise the body, from the going down of the vii stars till the Winter turn be five and forty days.
