TO THE RIGHT WOR pfull: Sir ROWLAND HAYWARD Knight, Precedent of little St. Bartholomew's in West-Smithfield, Sir Ambrose Nicholas Knight, with the rest of the Wor: Masters and Governors of the fame; William Clowes, William Beton, Richard Story, and Edward Baily, Chirurgeons of the same Hospital, wisheth Health and Prosperity.  
AMong the people in times past, it was common, to praise and extol by Pictures and Epigrams, the famous deeds of all such persons, whosoever in any virtuous quality or Liberal Science excelled. Sulpitius Gallus among the Romans, was highly renowned for his singular cunning in Astronomy, by whose means Lucius Paulus obtained the victory in this Wars against Persius. Pericles also among the Athenians, was had in great admiration and honour, for his profound knowledge in Philosophy, by whom the whole City of Athens was from care and woe delivered, when they supposed their destruction to be near at hand, by a black darkness, of some admiration hanging over their City. How honourably was Apelles the Painter esteemed of mighty ALEXANDER, by whom only he desired to be Painted? But amongst all other Arts and Sciences, whose praise in times past flourished and shined most brightly, Chirurgery among the Grecians lacked not his Praise, honour and estimation. For did not that worthy and famous Captain of the Greeks', Agamemnon, love dear, and reward bountifully, both Podalerius and Machaon, through whose cunning skill in Surgery, thousands of the worthy Greeks' were saved alive and healed, who else had died and perished? And further, here to speak of Philometur, of Attalus, of Hiero, of Archelaus, and o● luba, Kings of famous memory, who purchased Eternal praise, by their study and cunning in Physic and Surgery. But now in these our day's Envy so ruleth the roast, that Physic should be condemned, and Surgery despised for ever, but that sometimes pain biddeth Battle, and care keepeth skirmish in such bitter fort, that at the last his Alarm is sounded out; Now come Physic, and then help Surgery. Then is remembered the saying of JESUS the Son of SYRACH, which is notable, Honour the Physician and Chirurgeon for necessity; whom the Almighty God hath created, because from the highest cometh Medicine, and they shall receive gifts of the King. Wherefore we exhort the wise man, that he in no time of Prosperity and Health, neglect those noble Arts and Mysteries of Physic and Chirurgery, because no Age, no Person, no Country, can long time lack their helps and Remedies. What is it to have Lands and Houses, to abound in Silver and Gold, to be decked with Pearls and Diamonds, yea, and to rule over Nations and Countries, and to lack Health, the only jewel and greatest treasure of man's life and delight? Consider then (we beseech your Worships) what praises are due to such noble Sciences, which only work the causes of this aforesaid Health, and how much the Weal-public are bound to all them, whose cares and Studies daily tendeth to this end. Amongst whom here is to be remembered, Mr. VICARY Esquire, Sergeant Chirurgeon to two Kings and two Queens of famous memory: whose learned work of Anatomy, is by us (the forenamed Surgeons of St. Bartholomew's in west Smithfield, newly revived, corrected, and published abroad to the commodity of others) who be Students in Chirurgery: not without our great study, pains and charges. And although we do lack the profound knowledge, and sugared Eloquence of the Latin and Greek tongues, to deck and beautify this work, yet we hope the studious Reader shall thereby reap singular commodity and profit, by reading this little Treatise of the Anatomy of Man's Body; the which is only grounded upon Reason and Experience, which are two principal roots of Physic and Chirurgery. As it is granted by Galen, in his third Book De Methodo medendi. And we who daily work and practise in Chirurgery, according to the deepness of the Art, as well in grievous Wounds, Ulcers, and Fistulaes', as other hid and secret diseases upon the Body of Man, daily used by us in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and other places, etc. These poor and grieved Creatures, as well Men, and Women, as Children, do know the profit of this Art to be manifold, and the lack of the same to be lamented. Therefore Galen truly writeth, saying: That no man can work so perfectly as aforesaid, without the knowledge of the Anatomy: For (saith he) It is as possible for a Blind man to carve and make an Image perfect, as a Chirurgeon to work without error in a Man's body not knowing the Anatomy. And further, for as much, as your Worships are very careful for those poor and grieved Creatures within the Hospital of St. Bartholomew's, &c. whereof Mr. VICARY was a member. We are therefore now the more encouraged to dedicate this little work of the Anatomy, being his and our Travels, to you as Patrons of this Book, to defend it against the ravenous jaws of Envious Backbiters, which never cease by all unlawful means, to blemish and deface the works of the Learned, Expert, and well disposed persons. And we shall not only thank your Worships for so doing, but also pray unto Almighty GOD to requite your goodness, and receive you into his protection and keeping.

To the Reader.  
Dear Brethren and friendly Readers, we have here according to the truth and meaning of the Author, set forth this needful and necessary work concerning the Anatomy of Man's body, being collected and gathered by Mr. Thomas Vicary, and now by us the Chirurgeons of St. Bartholmews' Hospital revived, corrected and published. And albeit this Treatise be small in volume, yet in commodity it is great and profitable. Notwithstanding, if the things therein contained be not discreetly and wisely studied and applied, according to the true meaning of the Author, we have to tell you hereof, that therein is great peril, because through ignorant Practitioners, not knowing the Anatomy, commonly doth ensue Death, and separation of Soul and Body.  
Furthermore, whereas many good and Learned men in these our days, do cea●e to publish abroad in the English tongue, their Works and travels, it is, for that if any one fault or blemish by fortune be committed, either by them or the Printer escaped, they are blamed; yea, and condemned for Ignorant men, and errours-holders'. But now we cease here from these points, to trouble the gentle Reader with long Discoursing, for whose sakes and commodities we have taken these pains: Wishing that men more skilful and better learned would have borne this burden for us. Craving only thus much at your hands, for to correct our faults favourably, and to report of the Author courteously, who sought (no doubt) your commodities only, and the profit of the Commonwealth without praise and vainglory of himself. Thus the Chirurgeons aforesaid commit you to the blessed keeping of Almighty God, who always defend and increase your studies and ours,  
Amen.   

THOMAS vicary to his Brethren, practising Chirurgery.  
HEreafter followeth a little Treatise (entitled A Treasure for English-Men) of the Anatomy of Man: made by THOMAS VICARY, Citizen and Chirurgeon of London, for all such Brethren of his fellowship practising Chirurgery: Not for them that be expertly seen in the Anatomy: for to them Galen the Lantern of all Chirurgeons hath set it forth in Canons, to the high glory of God, and to the erudition and knowledge of all those that be expertly seen and learned in the Noble Science of Chirurgery. And because all the noble Philosophers writing upon Chirurgery, do condemn all such persons as practise in Chirurgery not knowing the Anatomy; therefore I have drawn into certain Lessons and small Chapters, a part of the Anatomy, but touching a part of every member particularly: Requiring every man that shall read this little Treatise, to correct and amend it where it shall need, and hold me excused for my bold enterprise, and accept my goodwill towards the same.  

O Lord which made the lofty Skies,  
work in our Rulers hearts:  
Always to have before their eyes,  
safe guard to godly Arts.   

Now he that is the perfect guide, doth know our helps were here alone;  
By homely stile it may be spied, for rules in Rhetoric have we none.  
Our heads do lack that filled phrase, whereon fine wits delight to gaze;  
If any say, we deserve here blame, we pray you then amend the same.

A TREASURE FOR ENGLISHMEN. Containing the Anatomy of man's body: Compiled by Thomas Vicary Esquire, and Sergeant Chirurgeon to King Henry the 8. to King Edward the 6. to Qu. Marry, and to our late gracious Sovereign Lady, Queen ELIZABETH. And also, chief Chirurgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hospital for the use and commodity of all unlearned Practitioners in Chirurgery.  

CHAP. I. Hear I shall declare unto you shortly and briefly, the say and determinations of divers ancient Authors in three Points, very expedient for all men to know, that intent to use and exercise the Mystery or Art of Chyururgerie. The first is, to know what Chirurgery is: The second is, how that a Chirurgeon should be chosen: And the third is, with what properties a Chirurgeon should be endued.  
FOr the first, which is to know what thing Chyrurgeris is. Herein I do note the saying of Lanfranke, whereas he saith: All things that man would know, may be known by one of these three things: That is to say, by his Name, or by his Working; or else by his very being and showing of his own properties. So than it followeth that in the same manner we may know what Chirurgery is, by three things. First, by his Name, as thus: the Interpreters writ that Chirurgery is derived out of these words, Apo tes chiros, ca● tovergou, that is to be understood: a hand working, and so it may be taken for all handy Arts: But Noble hippocras saith, that chirurgery is hand-working in Man's body, for the very end and profit of chirurgery is hand-working.  
Now the second manner of knowing what thing Chirurgery it, it is the saying of Avicen; To be known by his being, for it is verily a Medicinal Science. And as Galen saith, He that will know the certainty of a thing, let him not busy himself to know only the name of that thing, but also the working and the effect of the same thing.  
Now the third way to know what thing chirurgery is, it is also to be known by his being or declaring of his own properties, the which teacheth us to work in man's body with hands, as thus: In cutting and opening those parts that be whole, and in healing those parts that be broken or cut, and in taking away that that is superfluous, as Wartes, Wens, Skurfulas, and other of like effect.  
But further, to declare what Galen saith Chirurgery is, it is the last Instrument of Medicine: that is to say, Diet, Potion, and Chirurgery: of the which three saith he, Diet is the noblest, and the most virtuous: and thus he saith. Whereas a man may be cured with Diet only, let there be given no manner of Medicine. The second Instrument, is Potion: for and if a man may be cured with Diet and Potion, let there not been ministered any Chirurgery, through whose virtue and goodness, is removed and put away many grievous infirmities and Diseases, which might not have been removed nor yet put away, neither with Diet nor with Potion. And by these three means, it is known what thing Chirurgery is. And this sufficeth us for that point.  
Now it is known what thing chirurgery is, there must also be chosen a man apt and meet to minister Chirurgery or to be a Chirurgeon. And in this point all Authors do agree, that a Chirurgeon should be chosen by his Complexion, and that his complexion been very temperate, and all his members well proportioned. For Rasis saith: Whose face is not seemly, it is impossible for him to have good manners. And Aristotle the great Philosopher, writeth in his Epistles to the Noble King Alexander (as in those Epistles more plainly doth appear) how he should choose all such persons as should serve him, by the form and shape of the face, and all other members of the body. And furthermore they say, he that is of an evil Complexion, there must needs follow like Conditions.  
Wherefore it agreeth, that he that will take upon him to practise as a Chirugion, must be both of a good and temperate complexion, as is afore rehearsed: and principally, that he be a good liver, and a keeper of the holy Commandments of God, of whom cometh all cunning and grace, and that his body be not quaking and his bands steadfast, his fingers long and small, and not trembling: and that his left hand be as ready as his right, with all his limbs, able to fulfil the good works of the soul. Now as here is a man meet to be made a Chirugeons': (and though he have all those good qualities before rehearsed) yet is he no good Chirurgeon, but a man very fit and meet for the practice.  
Now then to know what properties and conditions this man must have before he be a perfect Chirurgeon. I do note four things most specially, that every Chirurgeon ought for to have: The first, that he be learned: The second, that he be expert: The third, that he be ingenious: The fourth, that he be well mannered. The first (I said) he ought to be learned, and that he know his principles, not only in Chirurgery, but also in Physic, that he may the better defend his Chirurgery; also he ought to be seen in natural Philsophy, and in Grammar, that he speak congruity in Logic, that teacheth him to prove his proportions with good reason: In Rhetoric, that teacheth him to speak seemly and eloquently: also in Theoric, that teacheth him to know things natural, and not natural, and things against Nature. Also he must know the Anatomy: for all Authors writ against those Surgeons that work in man's body, not knowing the Anatomy: For they be likened to a blind man, that cutteth in a Vine tree, for he taketh more or less than he ought to do. And here no●e well the say of Galen, the Prince of Philosophers, in his Estoris. That it is as possible for a Chirurgeon (not knowing the Anatomy) to work in man's body without error, as it is for a blind man to carve an Image and make it perfect. The second, I said, he must be expert: For Rafus saith: He ought to know and to see other men work, and after to have use and exercise. The third, that he be ingenious and witty: for all things belonging to Chirurgery may not be written, nor with letters set forth. The fourth, I said, that he must be well mannered, and that he have all these good conditions here following.  
First, that he be no Spouse-breaker, nor no Drunkard. For the Philosophers say, amongst all other things, beware of those persons that follow Drunkenness, for they be accounted for no men, because they live a life bestial: wherefore amongst all other sorts of people, they ought to been sequestered from the ministering of Medicine. Likewise, a Chirurgeon must take heed that he deceive no man with his vain promises, for to make of a small matter a great, because he would be accounted the more famous. And amongst other things, they may neither be flatterers nor mockers, nor privy backbiters of other men. Likewise, they must not be proud, nor presumptuous: nor detractors of other men. Likewise, they ought not to be covetous, nor nonyggard, and namely amongst their friends, or men of Worship, but let them be honest, courteous, and free both in word and deed. Likewise, they shall give no counsel except they be asked, and then say their advice by good deliberation, and that they be well advised before they speak, chief in the presence of wise men. Likewise, they must be as privy and as secret as any Confessor, of all things that they shall either hear or see in the house of their Patient. They shall not take into their cure any manner of person, except he will be obedient unto their precepts: for he cannot be called a Patient, unless he be a sufferer. Also that they do their diligence as well to the poor as to the rich. They shall never discomfort their Patient, and shall command all that be about him that they do the same, but to his friends speak truth as the case standeth. They must also be hold in those things whereof they be certain, and as dreadful in all perils. They may not chide with the sick, but be always pleasant and merry. They must not covet any woman by way of villainy, and specially in the house of their Patient. They shall not for covetousness of money, take in hand those cures that be uncurable, nor never set any certain day of the sick man's health, for it lieth not in their power: following the distinct counsel of Galen, in the Aphorism of Hypocrates, saying: Oporter seipsum non solum.  
By this Galen meaneth, that to the cure of every sore, there belongeth four things: of which, the first and principal beloneth to God: the second, to the Surgeon: the third, to the Medicine: and the fourth, to the Patient. Of the which four, and if any one do fail, the Patient cannot be healed: then they to whom belongeth but the fourth part, shall not promise the whole but be first well advised. They must also be gracious and good to the poor, and of the rich take liberally for both. And see they never praise themselues, for that redoundeth more to their shame and discredit, then to their fame and worship. For a cunning and skilful Chirurgeon, need never vaunt of his do, for his works will ever get credit enough. Likewise, that they despise no other Chirurgeon without a great cause: for it is meet, that one Chirurgeon should love another, as Christ loveth us all.  
And in thus doing, they shall increase both in virtue and cunning, to the honour of God, and worldly same.  
SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI.   

OF THE ANATOMY. CHAP. II. The Anatomy of the simple Members.  
ANd if it be asked you how many simple Members there be, it is to be answered, Eleven, and two that be but superfluities of Members: and these be they, Bones, Cart●lages, Nex●es, Pannicles, Ligaments, Cordes, Arteirs, Veins, Fatness, Flesh and Skin: and the superfluities been the Hairs and Nails. I shall begin at the Bone, because it is the Foundation and the haidest Member of all the Body. The Bone is a cosimile Member, simple and spermaticke, and cold and dry of Complexion, insensible, and inflexible: and hath divers forms in Man's body, for the diversity of helpings. The cause why there be many Bones in man's body, is this: Sometime it is needful that one members or one limb should move without another: another cause is, that some defend the principal members, as both the Bone of the Breast, and of the Head: and some to been the Foundation of divers parts of the Body, as the Bones of the ridge and of the Legs: and some to fulfil the hollow places, as in the Hands and Feet, etc.  
The Gristle is a member simple and Spermaticke, next in hardness to the Bone, and is of complexion cold and dry, and insensible, The Gristle was ordained for six causes or profits that I find in it: The first is, that the continual moving of the hard Bone might not be done in a juncture, but that the Gristle should be a mean between the Ligament and him. The second is, that in the time of concussion or oppression, the soft members or limbs should not be hurt of the hard. The third is, that the extremity of Bones and joints that be grisly, might the easier be folded and n●wved together, without hurt. The fourth is, for that it is necessary in some mean places, to put a Gristle, as in the throat bowl for the the sound. The fifth is, for that it is needful that some members be holden up with a Gristle, as the lids of the Eyes. The sixth is, that some Limbs haus a sustaining and a drawing abroad, as in the Nose and the Ears, etc.  
The Ligament is a member consimple, simple, and spermaticke, next in hardness to the Gristle, and of complexion cold and dry, and is flexible and insensible, and bindeth the Bones together. The cause why he is flexible and insensible, is this: If it had been sensible, he might not have suffered the labour and moving of the joints: and if it had not been flexible of his bowing, one Limb should not have moved without another. The second profit is, that he be joined with sinews, for to make Cordes and Bawnes. The third help is, that he be a resting place to some sinews. The fourth profit is, that by him the members that be within the Bone be sustained, as the Matrixe and Kidneys, and divers other, etc.  
The Sinew is a consimiler member, simple and spermatick, a mean between hard and soft, and in complexion cold and dry and he is both flexible and sensible, strong and tough, having his beginning from the Brain, or from Mynuca, which is the Marrow of the back. And from the brain cometh seven pair of Nerves sentatine, and from Mynuca cometh thirty pair of Nerves motive, and one that is by himself, that springeth of the last spondyl. All these sinews have both feeling and moving, in some more, and in some less, etc.  
A Cord or Tendon is a consimple or official member compound and spermaticke, sinewy, strong and tough, meanly between hardness and softness, and meanly sensible and flexible and in complexion cold and dry. And the Cord or Tendon is thus made: The sinews that come from the brain and from Mynuca, and go to moon the members, is intermingled with the Ligaments, and when the sinews and Ligaments are intermingled together, then is made a Cord. And for three causes I perceive why the Cordes were made.  
The first is, that the sinew alone is so sensible, that he may not suffer the great labour and travel of moving, without the fellowship and strength of the Ligament that is insensible, and that letteth his great feeling, and bringeth him to a perfect temperance. And so the Cordes move the limbs to the will of the soul. And this Cord is associated with a simple f●e●h, and so thereof is made a Brawn or a Muscle, on whom he might rest after his travel: and this Brawn is called a Muscle. Then when this Cord is entered into this Brawn, he is departed into many small thréeds, the which be called Will: and this Will hath three properties: The first is in length, by whose virtue that draweth it hath might. The second in breadth by whom the virtue that casteth out hath might. The third, in thwartnes, in whom the virtue that holdeth hath might: and at the end of the Brawn those thréeds be gathered together to make another Muscle, etc.  
Now I will begin at the Arteir. This Arteir is a member consimile, simple and spermaticke hollow and finowie, having his springing from the heart, bringing from the heart to every member, blood and spirit of life. It is of complexion cold and dry. And all these Arteirs have two coats, except one that goeth to the Lungs, and he hath but one coat that spreadeth abroad in the Lungs, and bringeth with him to the Lungs blood with the spirit of life to nourish the Lungs withal: And also that Arteir bringeth with him from the Lungs air to temper the fumous heat that is in the heart. And this Arteir is he that is called Arteria Venalis, because he hath but one coat, as a vain, and is more obedient to be delated abroad through all the Kings, because that the blood might the sooner sweat through him: whereas all other Arteirs have two coats, because one coat may not withstand the might and power of the spirit of life. Divers other causes there be, which shall be declared in the Anatomy of the breast, etc.  
The Vein is a simple member, in complexion cold and dry, and spermaticke, like to the Arteir, having his beginning from the Liver and bringeth from the Liver nutritive blood, to nourish every member of the body with. And it is so to be understood, that there is no more difference between these two vessels of blood, but that the Arteir is a vessel of blood spiritual or vital. And the Vein is a vessel of blood nutrimental, of the which Veins, there is noted two most principal, of the which, one is called Vena Porta: the other is called Venacelis, of whom it is too much to treat of now, until we come to the Anatomy of the Womb, etc.  
The Flesh, is a consimile member, simple, not spermaticke, and is engendered of blood congealed by heat, and is in complexion hot and moist. Of the which is noted three kinds of flesh's; that is to say, one is soft and pure flesh: the second is Musculus, or hard and brawny flesh: the third is Glandulus, knotty, or kurnelly flesh. Also the commodities of the flesh, be indifferent, or some be common to every kind of flesh, and some be proper to one manner of flesh alone. The profits of the flesh be many, for some defend the body from cold as death : also it defendeth the body from hard things coming against it: so through his moisture he rectifyeth the Body in Summer, in time of great heat.  
Wherefore it is to be considered, what profitableness is in every kind of flesh by himself. And first of simple and pure flesh, which fulfilleth the concavities of void places, and causeth good form and shape: and this flesh is found between the tooth, and on the end of the yard. The profit of the Brawny flesh or Musculus flesh, shall be spoken of in the Anatomy of the Arms. The profits of the Grandulus flesh are these. First, that it turneth the blood into a colour like to himself, as doth the flesh of a woman's paps turn the menstrual Blood into milk. Secondly, the Grandulus flesh of the Testikles, turneth the blood into Sparme. Thirdly, the Grandulus flesh of the cheeks, that engendereth the spittle, etc.  
The next is of Fatness, of the which I find three kinds. The first is Pinguedo, and it is a consimiler member, not spermaticke, and it is made of a subtle portion of Blood congealed by cold: and it is of complexion cold and moist, insensible, and is intermingled amongst the parts of the flesh. The second, is Adepper, and is of the same kind as is Pinguedo, but it is departed from the flesh besides the Skin, and it is an Oil heating and moisting the Skin. The third is Auxingia, and it is of kind as the others be, but he is departed from the flesh within forth about the Kidneys, and in the Entrails, and it helpeth both the Kidneys and the Entrails, from drying by his pretiosity, etc.  
Then come we to the Skin. The Skin is a consimile member of official, partly spermaticke, strong and tough, flexible and sensible, thin and temperate: whereof there be two kinds: One is the Skin that covereth the outward members: and the other the inner members, which is called a Pannicle, the profitabless of whom, was spoken in the last lesson: but the Skin is properly wovent of L●réeds, Nerves, Veins, and Arteirs. And he is made temperate, because he should be a good déemer of heat from cold, and of moistness from dryness, that there should nothing annoy or hurt the Body, but it giveth warning to the common wits thereof, etc.  
The hairs of every part of man's Body, are but superfluity of members, made of the gross sum or smoke passing out of the viscous matter, thickened to the form of hair. The profitableness of him is declared in the Anatomy of the heard, etc.  
The Nails likewise, are a superfluity of members, engenbred of great earthly smoke or fume resolved through the natural heat of humours, and is softer than the bone, and harder than the flesh. In complexion they be cold and dry, and are always waxing in the extremity of the fingers and toes. The utility of them are, that by them a man shall take the better hold: also they help to claw the body when it needeth. Lastly, they help to divide things for lack of other fools, etc.   

CHAP. III. The Anatomy of the compound Members, and first of the Head.  
BEcause the Head of man is the habitation or dwelling place of the reasonable soul of man, therefore with the grace of God, I shall first speak of the Anatomy of the bead.  
Galen saith in the second Chapter De juvamentes, and Avicen rehearseth the same in his first Proposition and third Chapter, proving that the head of man was made neither for wits, nor yet for the Brains, but only for the Eyes. For beasts that have no heads, have the organs or instruments of wits in there breasts. Therefore GOD and Nature have reared up the head of man only for the eyes, for it is the highest member of man: and as a Beholder or Watchman standeth in a high Tower to give warning of the Enemies, so doth the Eye of man give warning unto the common Wits, for the defence of all other members of the body.  
Now to our purpose. If the question be asked, how many things be there contained on the Head, and how many things contained within the head? As it is rehearsed by Guydo, there be five containing, and as many contained, as thus: The hair, the skin, the flesh, the Pannicles, and the Bone; neither rehearsing Vein nor Arteir. The which Anatomy cannot be truly without them both, as thou shalt well perceive both in this but especially in the next. And how in this Lesson I shall speak but of Hair, Skin, Flesh, Veins, Pannicles, and Bones, what profit they do to man, every of them in his kind. Of the hair of the Head, (whose creation is known in the Anatomy of the simple members) I do note four utilities why it was ordained. The first is, that it defendeth the brain from too much heat, and too much cold, and many other outward noyances.  
The second is, it maketh the form or shape of the Head to seem more séemelyer or beautifuller. For if the Head were not haired, the Face and the Head should seem but one thing, and therefore the hair formeth & shapeth the Head from the Face.  
The third is, that by colour of the hair, is witnessed and known the complexion of the Brain.  
The fourth is, that the fumosities of the Brain might ascend and pass lightlier out by them. For, if there were a sad thing, as the skin, or other of the same nature, as the Hair is, the fumosities of the Brain might not have passed through it so lightly, as it doth by the Hair.  
The Skin of the head is more Lazartus, thicker, and more Porrus, than any other Skin of any other member of the body. And two causes I note why; One is, that it keepeth or defendeth the Brain from too much heat and cold as doth the Hair. The other, that it discusseth to the common wits of all things that noyeth outwardly, for the hair is insensible. The third cause why the skin of the head is more thicker than any other skin of the body is this; that it keepeth the brain the more warm, and is the better fence for the Brain, and it bindeth and keepeth the Bones of the head the faster together.  
Next followeth the Flesh, the which is all Musculus or Lazartus flesh, lying upon Pericranium without mean. And it is made of subtle Will, and of simple flesh, Sinews, Veins and Arteirs. And why the flesh that is all Musculus or Lazartus in every member of a man's body was made, is for three causes. The first is, that by his thickness, he should comfort the digestion of other members that lie by him The second is, that through him every member is made the formelier, and taketh the better shape. The third is, that by his means every member of the Body, drawing to him nourishing, the which others withhold to put forth from them, as it shall be more plainlier spoken of in the Anatomy of the Womb.  
Next followeth Pericranium, or the covering of the Bones of the Head. But here it is to be noted of a Vein and an Arteir that cometh between the Flesh and this Pericraniam, that nourisheth the utter part of the head, and so entereth privily thorough the Commissaries of the Skull, bearing to the Brain and to his Pannicles nourishing: Of whose substance, is made both Duramater, and also Pericranium, as shall be declared in the parts contained in the Head. Here it is to be noted of this Pannicle Pericranium, that it bindeth or compasseth all the Bones of the Head, unto whom is adjoined Duramater, and is also a part of his substance, he wheit they be separated, for Duramater is nearer the Brain, and is under the Skull.  
This Pericranium was made principally for two causes: one is, that for ●is strong binding together, he should make firm and stable the feeble Commissaries or seams of the Bones of the Head. The other cause is, that it should be a mean between the hard bone and the soft flesh.  
Next, is the Bone of the Pot of the head, keeping in the Brains, of which it were too long to declare their names after all Authors, as they number them and their names, for some name them after the Greek tongue, and some after the Arabian: but in conclusion all this to our purpose. And they be numbered seven bones in the pan or Skull of the head. The first is called the coronal bone, in which is the Orbits or holes of the Eyes, and it reacheth from the brows unto the midst of the head, and there it meeteth with the second bone called Occipissiall, a bone of the hinder part of the head called the Noddle, of the head, which two bones coronal and Occipissiall, be divided by the Commissaries, in the midst of the Head. The third and fourth Bones been called Parietales, and they be the Bones of the sideling parts of the head, and they be divided by the Commissaries, both from the foresaid coronal and Occipissiall. The fi●●-and Art bones be called, Petrosa or Mendosa: and these two bones lie over the bones called, Parietales, on every side of the head one, like Skales, in whom be the holes of the cares. The seventh and last of the ●ead is called Parill●arie or Bazillarie, the which Bone is as it were a wedge unto all the other seven Bones of the head, and doth fasten them together. And thus be all numbered. The first is, the coronal Bone: the second, is the Occipissiall: the third and the fourth, is Parietales: the fifth and the sixth is Petrosa, or Mendosa. And the seventh is Parillarie, or Bazillarie. And this sufficeth for the five things containing.   

CHAP. FOUR In this Chapter is declared the five things contained within the Head.  
NExt under the Bones of the Head within forth, the first thing that appeareth is Duramater, then is Pia mater, than the substance of the Brain, and then Vermy forms and Letemirabile. But first we are to speaks of Duramater, whereof, and ●ow it is sprung and made: First, it is to be noted of the V●yne and Arteire that was spoken of in the last Chapter before, how privily they entered through the Commissaries, or seams of the Head, and there by their Union together, they do not only bring and give the spirit of Life and merriment, but also do wove themselves so together, that they make this Pannicle Duramater. It is holden up by certain thréeds of himself, coming through the said Commissaries, running into Pericranium or Pannicle that covereth the Bones of the Head. And with the foresaid Vein and Artery, and these threads, coming from Duramater, is woven and made this Pericranium.  
And why this Pannicle Duramater is set from the Skull, I note two causes. The first is, that if the Duramater should have touched the Skull, it should lightly have been hurt with the hardness of the Bone. The second cause is, that the matter that cometh of wounds made in the Head piercing the Skull, should by it the better be defended and kept from Pia mater, and hurting of the Brain. And next unto this Pannicle, there is another Pannicle called Pia mater, or Méek-mother, because it is soft and tender unto the Brain. Of whose creation, it is to be noted as of Duramater: For the original of their first creation is of one kind, both from the Heart and the Liver, and is Mother of the very substance of the Brain. Why it is called Pia mater, is for because it is soft and tender to the Brain, that if nourisheth the Brain and feedeth it, as doth a loving Mother, unto her tender Chi●●● or Babe, for it is not so tough and hard as is Duramater.  
In this Pannicle Pia mater is much to be noted of the great number of Veins and Arteirs that are planted, ramefying throughout all his substance, giving to the Brain both spirit and life. And this Pannicle doth circumvolue or lay all the substance of the Brain: and in some place of the Brain, the Veins and the Arteries go forth of him, and enter into the divisions of the Brain, and there drinketh of the Brains substance into them, ask of the Heart, to them the spirit of life or breath, and of the Liver nutriment. And the aforesaid spirit or breath taketh a further digestion, and there it is made animal by the elaboration of the spirit vital, is turned and made animal. Furthermore, why there be no more Pannicles over the Brain than one, is this: If there had been but one Pannicle only, either it must have been hard or soft, or mean, betwéens both: If it had been hard, it should have hurt the Brain by his hardness. If it had been soft, it should have been hurt of the hard Bone. And if it had qéene but meanly, neither hard nor soft, it should have hurt the Brain by his roughness, and also have been hurt of the hard Bone. Therefore God and Nature hath ordained two Pannicles, the one hard, and the other soft, the harder to be a mean between the soft and the Bone: and the softer to be a mean between the harder and the Brain itself. Also these Pannicles be cold and dry of complexion, and spermaticke.  
Next is the Brain, of which it is marvellously to be considered and noted, how this Pia mater divideth the substance of the Brain, and lappeth it into certain sells or divisions, as thus: The substance of the Brain is divided into three parts or ventricles, of which the foremost part is the most. The second or middlemost is less: the third or hindermost is the least. And from each one to another be issues or passages that are called Meaces, through whom passeth the spirit of life too and fro. But here ye shall note, that every Tentricle is divided into two parts, and in every part God hath ordained and set singular and several virtues, as thus; First, in the foremost Ventricle, God hath founded and set the common wits, otherwise, called the fine Wits, as Hearing, Seeing, Feeling, Smelling, and Tasting. And also there is one part of this Ventricle, the virtue that is called Fantasy, and he taketh all the forms or ordinances that be disposed of the ●●ue Wits, after the meaning of sensible things. In the other part of the same Ventricle, is ordained and founded the imaginative virtue, the which receiveth of the common Wits the form of shape of sensitive things as they were received of the common Wits without-foorth, representing their own shape and ordinances unto the memorative virtue. In the middle Sell or Ventricle, there is founded and ordained the Cogitative or estimative virtue: for he rehearseth, showeth, declareth, and deemeth those things that been offered unto him, by the other that were spoken of before. In the third Ventrickle and last, there is founded and ordained the virtue Memorative: in this place is registered and kept those things that are done and spoken with the senses and keep them in his treasury unto the putting forth of the five or common Wits, or Organs, or Instruments of animal works, out of whose extremities or lower parts springeth Mynuca, or Marrow of the Spondels: of whom it shall be spoken of in the Anatomy of the Neck and Back.  
Furthermore it is to be noted, that from the foremost Ventricle of the Brain, springeth seven pair of sentative or feeling Sinews, the which be produced to the Eyes, the Ears, the Nose, the Tongue, and to the Stomach, and to divers other parts of the Body: as it shall be declared in their Anatomies. Also it is to be noted, that about the middle Ventrikle is the place of Vermiformis, with kurnelly flesh that filleth, and Retemirabile, a wonderful Cau●e under the Pannicles, is set or bounded with Arteirs only which come from the Heart, in the which the vital spirit by his great labour, is turned and made animal. And ye shall understand, that these two be the best kept parts of all the Body: for a man shall rather die, than any of these should suffer any manner of griefs from without-forth, and therefore God hath set them fare from the Heart.  
Here I note the saying of H●ly Abba, of the coming of small Arteries from the Heart, of whom (saith he) is made a marvellous Net or Caule, in the which Caule is enclosed the Brain, and in that place is laid the spirit of feeling, from that place hath the Spirit of Feeling his first creation, and from thence passeth other members, etc. Furthermore ye shall understand, that the Brain is a member cold and moist of complexion, thin, and meanly viscous, and a principal member, and an official member and spermaticke. And first, why he is a principal member, is because he is the governor or the treasury of the five Wits: And why he is an official member, is, because he hath the effect of feeling and stirring: And why he is cold and moist, is, that he should by his coldness and moistness, abate and temper the exceeding heat and drought that cometh from the Heart. And why it is moist, is, that it should be the more indifferenter and abler to every thing that should be reserved or gotten into him. And why it is soft, is, that it should give place and favour to the virtue of stirring. And why it is meanly viscous, is, that his sinews should not be letted in their working, through his overmuch hardness.  
Here Galen demandeth a question, which is this: Whether that feeling and moving be brought to Nerves by one or by divers? Or whether the aforesaid thing be brought substantially or rather judicially? The matter (saith he) is so hard to search and to be understood, that it were much better to let it alone and pass over it.  
Aristotle entreating of the Brain, saith: The Brain is a member continually moving and ruling all other members of the body, giving unto them both feeling and moving: for if the Brain be let, all other members been let: and if the Brain been well, than all other members of the body be the better disposed.  
Also the Brain hath this property, that it moveth and followeth the moving of the Moon: For in the waxing of the Moon, the Brain followeth upwards, and in the wane of the Moon, the Brain descendeth downwards, and vanisheth in substance of virtue: for then the Brain shrinketh together in itself, and is not so fully obedient to the spirit of feeling. And this is proved in men that be Lunatic and Mad, and also in men that be Epulenticke or having the Falling sickness, that be most grieved in the beginning of the new Moon and in the latter quarter of the Moon. Wherefore (saith Aristotle) when it happeneth that the Brain is either too dry or too moist, then can it not work his kind, for than is the Body made cold● then are the spirits of Life melted and resolved away: and then followeth feebleness of the Wits, and of all other members of the Body, and last Death.   

CHAP. V The Anatomy of the Face.  
THE Front or the Forehead, containeth nothing but the Skin and Musculus flesh, for the Pannicle underneath, it is of Pericranium, and the Bone is of the coronal bone. Howbeit there it is made broad as if there were a double bone, which maketh the form of the brows. It is called the Forehead or Front, from one ear to the other, and from the roots of the ears of the head before unto the Brows. But the cause why the brows were set and reared up was, that they should defend the eyes from voyance without-foorth: and they be ordained with hair, to put by the humour or sweat that cometh from the head. Also the brows do help the eyelids, and do beautiffe and make fair the face, for he that hath not his brows haired, is not seemly.  
And Aristotle saith, that over-measurable Brows betokeneth an envious man. Also high brows and thick, betokcneth hardiness: and brows with little hair betokeneth cowardice: and meanly, signifieth gentleness of heart. Incisions about this part, aught to be done according to the length of the body, for there the Muscle goeth from one ear to the other. And there if any incision should be made with the length of the Muscle, it might happen the brow to hang over the eye without remedy, as it is many times seen, the more pity. The Brows are called Supercilium in Latin, and under is the eyelids, which is called Cilium, and is garnished with hairs. Two causes I find why the eyelids were ordained. The first is, that they should keep and defend the Eye from Dust and other outward voyances. The second is, when the eye is wrary or heavy, than they should been covered and take rest underneath them. Why the hairs were ordained in them is, that by them is addressed the forms or similitudes of visible things unto the Apple of the Eye. The Ear is a member seemly and griftly, able to be solden without, and is the Organ or Instrument of Hearing: It is of complexion cold and dry. But why the Ear was set up out of the head, is this, that the sounds that be very fugitive, should hirke and abide under his shadow, till it were taken of the Instruments of Hearing. Another cause is, that if should keep the hole that it standeth over, from things falling in that might hinder the Hearing. The Sinews that are the Organs or Instruments of Hearing, spring each from the Brain, from whence the seven pair of Sinews do spring, and when they come to the hole of the Ear, there they w●i●he like a Winepress: and at the ends of them, there be like the head of a Worm, or like a little tease, in which is received the sound, and so carried to the common wi●●. The Eyes be next of nature unto the soul: for in the Eye is seen and known the disturbances and griefs, gladness and joys of the Soul, as Love, Wrath, and other passions. The Eyes be the Instruments of sight. And they be compound and made of ten things: that is so say, of seven Tunicles or Coats, and of three humours. Of the which (saith Galen) the Brain and the Head were made for the Eye, that they might be in the highest as a Beholder in a Tower, as it was revearsed in the Anatomy of the Head. But divers men hold divers opinions of the Anatomy of the Eyes: for some men account but three Tunicles, and some six. But in conclusion, they mean all one thing. For the very truth is, that there be counted and reckoned seven Tunicles, that is to say, Sclirotica, Secondina, Retyna, Unia, Cornua, Arania, and Conjunctiva: and these three humour. That is to say, Humour, Virtus, Humour Albigynus, and Humour Chrystallinus.  
It is to be known how and after what manner they spring: You shall understand, that there springeth of the Brain substance of his foremost Ventrikles, two Sinews, the one from the right side, and the other from the left, and they be called the first pair, for in the Anatomy, they be the first pair of sinews that appear of all seven. And it is showed by ●ales, that these 〈◊〉 was been hollow as a Reed, for two ca●●ses. The first is, that the visible spirit might pass freely to the Eyes. The second is, that the form of visible things might freely be presented to the common wits.  
Now mark the going forth of these sinews. When these sinews go out from the substance of the Brain, he cometh through the Pia mater, of whose substance he taketh a Pannicle or a Coat: and the cause why he taketh that Pannicle, is to keep him from noying, and before they enter into the Skull, they meet and are united into one sinew the length of half an inch: and then they depart again into two, and each goeth into one Eye, entering through the brain Pan, and these sinews be called Nervi optici. And three causes I find why these Nerves are joined in one before they pass into the Eye. First, if it happen any diseases in one Eye, the other should receive all the visible spirit that before come to both.  
The second is, that all things that we see should not seem two: for if they had not been joined together, every thing should have seemed two, as it doth to a Worm, and to other Beasts.  
The 〈◊〉 is, that the sinew might stay and help the other. But hereupon Lanfranke accordeth much: saying, that these two sinews came together to the Eyes, and take a Pannicle both of Pia mater and of Duramater, and when they enter into the Orbit of the Eye; there the extremities are spread abroad, the which are made of three substances: that is to say, of Duramater, of Pia mater, and of Nervi optici. There be engendered three Tunicles or Coats, as thus: Of the substance that is taken from Duramater, is engendered the first Coat that is called Secondina: and of Nervi optici, is engendered the third Coat, that is called Retina: and each of them is more subtilier than other, and goeth about the humours without mean. And it is to be understood, that each of these three Tunicles be divided, and so they make fire: that is to say, three of the parts of the brain, and three of the parts outwards, and one of Pericranium, that covereth the Bones of the head, which is called Conjunctiva.  
And thus you may perceive the springing of them as thus Of Duramater springeth Citrotica 〈◊〉 Cornua. Of ●iamater, springeth Secondina and Vnia. And of Pervi Optici springeth Conjunctiva. Now to speak of the humours which be three, and their places are the middle of the Eyes: of the which, the first is author ●●trus, because he is like ●la●●e, in colour very clear, red liquit, or thin, and he is in the inward side next unto the Brain: and it is thin, because the mi●ritine blood of the Crystalline, might pass, as water through a sponge should be cleansed and made pure, and also that the visible spirit might the lightlier pass through him from the Brain. And he goeth about the Chrystaline Humour, 〈◊〉 meet with Albuginus Humour, which is set in the uttermost part of the Eye. And in the midst of these Humours Vltrus, and Albuginus, is set the Chrystaline Humour, in which is set principally the sight of the Eye. And these Humours be separated and involued with the Pannicles as aforesaid, between every Humour a Pannicle. And thus is the Eye compound and made. But to speak of every Humour and every Pannicle in his one order and course, it would ask a long process, and a long Chapter: and this is sufficient for a Chirurgeon. Now to begin at the Nose: You shall understand, that from the brain there cometh two Sinews to the holes of the brain pan, where beginneth the concavity of the Nose, and these two be not properly Sinews, but Organs or Instruments of smelling, and have heads like teats or paps, in which is received the virtue of smelling, and representing it to the common wits: Over these two, is set Colatorium, that we call the Nostrils: and is set between the Eyes, under the upper part of the Nose. And it is to be noted, that this concavity or ditch was made for two causes. The first is, that the air that bringeth forth the spirit of smelling might rest in it, till it were taken of the Organ or Instrument of smelling. The second cause is, that the superfluities of the Brain might be hidden under it, until it were cleansed: And from this concavity there goeth 〈◊〉 holes down into the mouth, of which there is to be noted three profits.  
The first is, that when a man's mouth is close, or when he eateth or sleepeth, that then the air might come through them to the Lungs, or else a man's mouth should always be open. The second cause is, that they help to the relation of the form of the Nose: for it is said, a man speaketh in his Nose, when any of these holes he stopped. The third cause is, that the concavity might be cleansed by them, when a man snuffeth the Nose, or draweth into his mouth inwardly. The Nose is a member consimple or official appearing without the face, some what plicable, because it should the better be cleansed. And it is to be perceived that it is compound and made of Skin and Lazartus flesh, and of two Bones standing in manner trianglewise, whose extremities he joined in one part of the Nose with the coronal Bone, and the nether extremities are joined with two Gristles, and another that divideth the Nostrils within, and holdeth up the Nose.  
Also there be two concavities or holes, that if one were stopped the other should serve: Also there is in the Nose two Muscles to help the working of his Office.  
And Galen saith, that the Nose shapeth the Face most: for where the Nose lacketh (saith he) all the rest of the Face is the more unseemly. The Nose should be of a mean bigness, and not to exceed in length or breadth, nor in highness. For Aristotle saith, If the Nostrils be too thin or too wide, by great drawing in of air, it betokeneth great straightness of heart and indignation of thought. And therefore it is to be noted, that the shape of the members of the Body, betokeneth and judgeth the affections and will of the soul of man, as the Philosopher saith. The Temples he called the members of the Head, and they have that name because of continual moving. And as the Science of the Anatomy meaneth, the spirit vital is sent from the heart to the brain by Arteirs, and by Veins and nutrimental blood, where the Vessels Pulsati●es in the Temples be lightly hurt. Also, the Temple have ●ents or holes inwardly, wherein he taketh the humour that cometh from the Brain, and bringeth the Eyes asleep: and if the said Holes or Dents be pressed and wrung, then by trapping of the humour that continueth, he maketh the tears to fall from the Eye.  
The Cheeks are the sideling parts of the Face, and they contain in them Musculus flesh, with Veins and Arteirs, and about these parts be many Muscles. Guido maketh mention of seven about the Cheeks and over-lip.  
And Haly Abbas saith, there be twelve Muscles that move the nether jaw, some of them in opening, and othersome in closing or shutting, passing under the Bones of the Temples: and they be called Temporales: And they be the right noble and sensative, of whose hurt is much peril.  
Also there been other Musculus for to grind and to chew. And to all these Muscles cometh Nerves from the Brain, to give them feeling and moving. And also there cometh to them, many Arteirs and Veins, and chief about the Temples, and the angles or corners of the Eyes and the Lips. And as the Philosophers say, the chief beauty in man is in the Cheeks, and there the complexion of man is most known, as thus: If they been full, ruddy, and meddled with temperate whiteness, and not fat in substance, but meanly fleshy, it betokeneth hot and moist of complexion: that is, Sanguine and temperate in colour. And if they be white coloured, without meddling of redness, and in substance fat and soft, quavering, it betokeneth, excess and superfluity of cold and moist: that is phlegmatic. And if they be brown in colour or cyfrens, yellow, red and thin, and leave insubstance, it betokeneth great drying and heat: that is choleticke. And if they be as it were blown in colour, and of little flesh in substance, it Betokeneth excess and superfluity of dryness and cold: that is Melancholy And as Avicen saith, the Cheeks do not only show the diversities of complexions, but also the affection and will of the Heart: for by the affection of the heart, by sudden joy or dread, he waxeth either pale or red. The bones or bony parts, first of the cheeks be two: of the Nose outwardly, two: of the upper Mandible, two: within the Nose three, as thus: One deviding the Nostrils within, and in each Nostril one, and they seem to be rolled like a water, and have a hollowness in them, by which the air is respired and drawn to the Lungs, and the superfluity of the Brain is purged into the mouth●wards, as in before rehearsed. But Guido and Galen saith, that there be in the face nine bones, yet I cannot find that the nether Mandible should be of the number of those nine: for the nether Mandible accounted there, proveth them to be ten in number: Of which thing I will hold no argument, but remit it to the sight of your Eyes. The parts of the mouth are five, that is to say, the Lips, the Tooth, the Tongue, the Vuila, and the Pallet of the mouth. And first to speak of the Lips, they are members consimile or official, full of Musculus flesh, as is aforesaid, and they were ordained for two causes, one is; that they should be to the mouth as a door to a house, and to keep the mouth close till the meat were kindly chewed. The other cause is, that they should be helpers to the pronouncing of the speech. The Tooth are members consimily or official, spermaticke, and hardest of any other members, and are fastened in the Cheek bones, and were ordained for three causes. First, that they should chew a man's meat, ere it should pass down, that it might been the sooner digested.  
The second, that they should be a help to the speech: for they that lack their tooth, do not perfectly pronounce their words.  
The third is, that they should serve to beasts as weapons. The number of them is uncertain: for some men have moe, and some less: they that have the whole number, have two and thirty: that is to say sixteen above, and as many beneath as thus: two Dwallies, two Quadripulles, two Canniens, eight Morales, and two Causales, the Tongue is a carnous member, compound and made of many Nerves, Ligaments, Veins and Arteries, ordained principally for three causes.  
The first is, that when a man eateth, the Tongue might help to turn the meat till it were well chewed. The second cause is, that by him is received the taste of sweet and sour, and presented by him to the common Wits. The third is, that by him is pronounced every speech The fleshy part of the Tongue is white, and hath in him nine Muscles, and about the root of him, is Glandulus, in the which be two wells, and they be ever full of spittle to temper and keep moist the Tongue, or else it would beware dry by reason of his labour, etc. The Vuila is a member made of spongeous flesh, banging down from the end of the Pallet over the gullet of the throat, and is a member in complexion cold and dry, and oftentimes when there falleth rawness or much moistness into it from the Head, than it hangeth down in the throat, and letteth a man to swallow, and it is broad at the upper end, and small at the nether. It was ordained for divers causes. One is, that by him is helped the sound of speech: for where the Vuila is wanting, there lacketh the perfect sound of speech. Another is, that it might help the prolation of vomits. Another is, that by him is tempered and abated the distemperance of the air that passeth to the Lungs. Another is, that by him is guided the superfluities of the Brain, that cometh from the coletures of the Nose, or the superfluities should fall down suddenly into the mouth, the which were a displeasure. The Pallet of the mouth containeth nothing else but a carnous Pannicle, and the Bones that been underneath it hath two divisions, one along the Pallet from the division of the Nose, and from the opening of the other Mandible under the nether end of the Pallet, lacking half an inch, and there it divideth overthwart, and the first division is of the Mandible: and the second, is of the Bone called Pi●illary or Bazillary, that sustaineth and bindeth all other Bones of the head together. The Skin of the Pallet of the mouth is, of the inner part of the stomach and of Myre, and of Isofagus, that is the way of the meat into the Stomach. The way how to know that such a Pannicle is of that part of the stomach, may be known when that a man is touched within the mouth, anonhe beginneth to tickle in the stomach, and the nearer that he shall couch unto the throat, the more it abhorreth the stomach, and oftentimes it causeth the stomach to yield from him that is within him, and when a man doth vomit.  
Also in the mouth is ended the uppermost extremity of the Weasand, which is called Myre, or Isofagus: And with him is contained Trachia arteria: that is, the way of the air, whose holes be covered with a lap like a tongue, and is gristly, that the meat and drink might slide over him into Isofagus: the which gristle when a man speaketh is reared up, and covereth the way of the meat, and when a man swalloweth the meat, than it covereth the way of the air, so that when the one is covered, the other is discovered. For if a man open the way of the air, when he swalloweth, if there fall a crumb inco it, he shall never cease coughing until it be up again. And this sufficeth for the Face.   

CHAP. VI The Anatomy of the Neck.  
THE Neck followeth next to be spoken of. Galen proveth, that the Neck was made for no other cause but for the Lungs, for all things that have no Lungs, have neither Neck nor voice, except Fish. And you shall understand, that the neck is all that is contained between the head and the shoulders, and between the chin and the breast. It is compound and made of four things, that is to say, of Spondillis, of Servic●bus, of Gula, and of Gatture, the which shall be declared more plainly hereafter: and through these pass the way of the meat and of the air, but they be not the substance of the Neck.  
The Spondels of the Neck be seven: The first is joined unto the lower part of the head called Paxillary, or Bazillary, and in the same wise are joined every Spondell with other, and the last of the seven, with the first of the Back or Ridge: and the Ligaments that keep these Spondels together, are not so hard and tough as those of the back: for why? those of the neck been more féebler and subtler. The cause is this, for it is necessary other while that the head move without the neck, and the Neck without the Head, the which might not well have been done if they had been strong and boisterous. Of these aforesaid seven Spondels of the Neck, there springeth seven pair of Sinews, the which be divided into the head and into the visage, to the Shoulders and to the Arms. From the hole of the first Spondell springeth the first pair of Sinews, betwéeen the first Spondell and the second, and so forth of all the rest in like manner as of these. Also these Sinews receive subtle will of the sinews of the brain: of which the Will, and Sinews, and Flesh, with a Pannicle, make the composition of Muscles, Lazartes, and Brawns, the which three things are all one, and be the Instruments of voluntary moving every member. The Muscles of the Neck after Galen, are numbered to be twenty, moving the Head and the Neck. Likewise it is to be noted, that there been three manner of flesh's in the Neck: the first is Pixwex, or Seruisis, and it is called of Children, Gold hair, or yellow hair, the which are certain Longitudinals, lying on the sides of the Spondels, from the head down to the latter Spondell. And they are ordained for this cause, that when the Sinews be weary of over much labour with moving and travel, that they might rest upon them as upon a Bed.  
The second Flesh is Musculus, from whom springeth the Tendons and Cords that move the Head and the Neck, which be numbered twenty, as is before declared. The third Flesh replenisheth the void places, etc. The third part of the Neck, is called Gutture, and it is standing out of the throat bowl. The fourth part is called Gula, and the hinder part Cervix, and hath that name of the Philosophers, because of the Marrow coming to the Ridge bones. It is so called, because it is as it were a servant to the Brain: For the Neck receiveth and taksth of the brain, influence of virtue of moving, and sendeth it by sinews to the other parts of the body downwards, and to all members of the body.  
Here you shall understand, that the way of the meat, and Mire, or Isofagus, is all one thing: and it is to be noted, that it stretcheth from the mouth to the Stomach, by the hinder part of the Neck inwardly, fastened to the Spondels of the Neck, until he come to the first Spondell, and there he leaveth the Spondell, and stretcheth till he come to the foremost part of the Breast, and passeth through Diafragma, till he come to the mouth of the stomach, and there he is ended. Furthermore, it is to been noted that this Weasand is compound, and made of two Tunicles or Coats (that is to say) or the inner and of the utter. The utter Tunicle is but simple, for he needeth no Retention but only for his own nourishing: but the inner Tunicle is compound, and made of Musculus longitudinal Will, by which he may draw the meat from the mouth into the stomach, as it shall he more plainly declared in the Anatomy of the stomach. Furthermore, Cana Pulmonis, via, trachia, Arteria, all these be one thing (that is to say) the Throt-boll, and it is set within the Neck, besides the Weasand, towards Gula, and is compound of the Gristle, knit each with other. And the Pannicle that is mean between the Weasand, and the Throt bowl, is called Ismon.  
Also ye shall understand that the great Veins which ramefic by the sides of the Neck, to the upper part of the head, is of some men called Gwidege, and of others, Venae organices: the incision of whom is perilous. And thus it is to be considered, that the neck of man is compound, and made of skinny Flesh, Ligaments, and bones: and this sufficeth for the Neck and the Throat.   

CHAP. VII. The Anatomy of the Shoulders and Arms.  
AND first to speak of the Bones: It is to been noted, that in the Shoulder there been two Bones, (that is to say) the Shoulder bone, and the Kannell-bone, and also the Adiutor bone of the Anne, are joined with the Shoulder-bones, but they are not numbered amongst them, but amongst the Bones of the Arms. In the composition of the shoulder, the first Bone is, Os Spatula, or Shoulder blade, whose hinder part is declined towards the Chine, and in that end it is broad and thin, and in the upper part it is round, in whose roundness is a Concavity, which is called the Box or coop of the shoulder, and which entereth the Adiutor bones, and they have a binding together with strong flexible Sinews, and are contained fast with each Bone called Clavicula, or the Cannell bone. And this Cannell bone stretcheth to both the shoulders; One end to the one shoulder, and another to the other, and there they make the composition of the shoulders. The bones of the great arm, (that is to say) from the shoulders to the fingers ends, be thirty: the first is, the Adiutor bone, whose upper end entereth into the Concavity or Box of the Shoulder bone: it is but one Bone (having no fellow) end it is hollow and full of Marrow, and it is also crooked, because it should be the more able to gripe things, and it is hollow, because it should be lighter and more obedient to the stirring or moving of the Brawns.  
Furthermore, this Bone hath two eminences, or two knobs in his nether extremity, or in the juncture of the Elbow (of the which, the one is more Rising then the other) and are made like unto a Poultry to draw water with, and the ends of these Bones enter into a Concavity proportioned in the uppermost ends of the two Fo●●lbones, of which two Bones, the less goeth from the Elbow to the Thumbs, by the uppermost part of the arm, and the greater is the nether bone from the Elbow to the little Finger. And these two Bones be contained with the Adiutor bone, and be bound with strong Ligaments, and in like manner with the Bones of the Hand. The which Bones been numbered eight, the four uppermost been joined with the four nethermost towards the Hands: and in the third ward of Bones, been five, and they are called Ossa Patinis, and they are in the Palm of the hand. And to them be joined the Bones of the Fingers and the Thumbs, as thus, in every Finger three Bones, and in the Thumb two bones, (that is to say) the Fingers and Thumb of every hand fourteen, called Ossa digitorum: in the Palm of the Hand five, called Patinis, and between the Hand and the Wrist eight, called R●sete, and from the Wrist to the shoulder, three Bones: all which being accounted together, ye shall find thirty bones in each Hand and Arme. To speak of Sinews, Ligaments, Cords, and Brawns: here first ye shall understand, that there cometh from Mynuca, through the Spondels of the Neck, four sinews, which most plainly do appear in sight, as thus: one cometh into the upper part of the Arm, another into the nether part, and one into the inner side, and another into the utter side of the Arm, and they bring from the Brain, and from Mynuca, both feeling and moving into the Arms, as thus: The sinews that come from the Brain and from the Marrow of the Back that is called Mynuca, when they come to the juncture of the shoulder, there they are mixed with the Ligaments of the self shoulder, and there the Ligaments receive both Feeling and moving of them, and also in there meddling together, they are made a Cord or a Tendon.  
Three causes I find why the sinews were meddled with the Ligaments. The first cause is, that the littleness of the Sinews, which many ways been made weary by there continual moving, should been repressed by the insensibleness of the Ligaments: The second is, that the littleness of the Sinews should been through the quality of the Ligaments: The third is, the feebleness of the Sinew, that is insufficient, and too feeble to use his Office, but by the strength and hardness of the Ligaments.  
Now to declare what a Cord is, what a Ligament, and what a Muscle, or a Brawn, it is enough rehearsed in the Chapter of the simple members: but if you will through the commandment of the Will or the Soul, draw the Arm to the hinder parts of the body, than the utter Brawn is drawn together and the inner enlarged, and likewise inwards, when the one Brawn doth draw inwards, the other doth stretch: and when the Arm is stretched in length, than the Cords be lengthened: but when they pass the juncture of the Shoulder and of the Elbow, by three fingers breadth or thereabout, than it is divided by subtle Will, and meddled with the simple flesh, and that which is made of it is called a Brawn. And three causes I find, why that the simple flesh is meddled with the Cord in the composition of the Brawn.  
The first is, that the aforesaid Will might draw in quiet through the temperance of the flesh.  
The second is, that they temper and abate the drought of the Cord with his moistness, the which drought he getteth thorough his manifold moving. The third is, that the form of the Brawn members should be the more fair, and of better shape: wherefore God and Nature hath clothed it with a Pannicle, that it might the better been kept: And it is called of the Philosophers, Musculus, because it hath a form like unto a Mouse. And when these Brawns comes near a joint, than the Chords spring forth of them, and are meddled with the Ligaments again, and so moveth that joint. And so ye shall understand, that always between every two joints, is engendered a Brawn, proportioned to the same member and place, unto the last extremity of the fingers, so that as well the least juncture hath a proper feeling and moving when it needeth, as hath the greatest. And after Guido, there be numbered sixteen in the Arm and Hand, as thus: four in the Adjutor, moving the upper part of the Arm: and four in the Focles, moving the fingers. Now to speak somewhat of the Veins and Arteirs of the arm: it is to been understood, that from Venakelis, there cometh two Branches, the one cometh to the one Arme-pit, and the other cometh to the other. And now mark the spreading, for as it is of the one, so it is of the other, as thus: when the branch is in the Arme-pit, there he is divided into two branches: The one Branch goeth along in the inner side of the arm, until it come to the bough of the Arm, and there it is called Bazilica, or Epatica, and so goeth down the Arm till it come to the wrist, and there it is turned to the back of the Hand, and it is found between the little finger and the next, and there it is called Salvatella. Now to the other Branch that is in the Armhole, which spreadeth to the utter side of the shoulder, and there he divideth in two, the one goeth spreading up into the carnous part of the Head, and after descendeth through the Bone into the Brain, as it is declared in the Anatomy of the head. The other branch goeth on the outward side of the Arm, and there he is divided into two also, the one part is ended at the hand, and the other part is folded about the arm till it appear in the bouget of the arm, and there is called Sephalica, from thence it goeth to the back of the hand, and appeareth between the Thumb and the foremost finger, and there it is called Sephalica Ocularis.  
The two Branches that I speak of, which be divided in the hinder part of the shoulders, from each of these two (I say springeth one, and those two meet together and make one Vein which appeareth in the bough of the Arm, and there it is called Mediana, or Coadialis, or Commine. And thus it is to be understood, that of Vena Sephalica, springeth Vena Ocularis, and of Vena Bazilica, springeth Vena Salvatella, and of the two Veins that meet, springeth Vena Mediana, and in ramefying from these five principal Veins springeth innumerable, of the which a Chirurgeon hath no great charge: for it sufficeth us to know the principals.  
To speak of Arteirs, you shall understand, that wheresoever there is found a Vein, there is an Arteir under him: and if there be found a great Vein, there is found a great Artery, and whereas is a little Vein, there is a little Artery: for wheresoever there goeth a Vein to give nutriment, there goeth an Artery to bring the spirit of life. Wherefore it is to been noted, that the Arteries lie more deeper in the flesh than the Veins do: for they carry and keep in them more precious blood than doth the Vein, and therefore he hath need to been further from dangers outwardly: and therefore, God and Nature have ordained for him to be closed in two Coats, where the Vein hath but one.  
The Breast of Thorax, is the Ark or Chest of the spiritual members of man, as saith the Philosopher: where it is to been noted, that there be four things containing, and right contained, as thus. The four containing, are, the Skin, Musculus flesh, the Paps and the Bones. The parts contained, are, the Heart, the Lungs, Pannicles, Ligaments, Nerves, Veins, Arteries, Myre, or Isofagus. Now the Skin and the flesh are known in their Anatomy. It is to be noted, that the flesh of the Paps, differeth from the other flesh of the body: for it is white, glandulus, and spongeous: and there is in them, both Nerves, Veins, and Arteries, and by them they have Coliganes with the Heart the Liver, the Brain, and the Generative members. Also there is in the Breast, as old Authors make mention, lxxx. or xc. Muscles: for some of them be common to the Neck, some to the Shoulders, and to the Spades; some to diaphragma or the Midriff: some to the Ribs, some to the Back, and some to the Breast itself. But I find certain profitableness in the creation of the Paps, as well in man as in woman: for in man it defendeth the spirituals from annoyance outwardly: and another by their thickness they comfort the natural heat in defiance of the spirits. And in women, there is the generation of Milk: for in women there cometh from the Matrix into their Breasts many Veins, which bring into them Menstrual blood, the which is turned through the digestive virtue, from red colour into white, like the colour of the Paps, even as Chilley coming from the stomach to the Liver, is turned into the colour of the Liver.  
Now to speak of the Bones of the Breast: they been said to been triple or three fold, and they be numbered to the seven in the Breast before, and their length●s according to the breadth of the Breast, and there extremities or ends be gristly, as the Ribs be. And in the upper end of Thorax is an hole or a concavity in which is set the foot of the Furkle-bone or Cannel-bone, and in the nether end of Thorax, against the mouth of the Stomach, hangeth a a Gristle called Ensiforme, and this Gristle was ordained for two causes. One is, that it should defend the stomach from hurt outwardly. The second is, that in time of fullness, it should give place to the stomach in time of need when it desireth, etc.  
Now to speak of the parts of the Back behind forth: There be twelve Spondels, through whom passeth Mynuca, of whom springeth twelve pair of Nerves, bringeth bath feeling and moving to the Muscles of the Breast aforesaid. And here it is to be noted, that in every side there be twelve Ribs, that is to say, seven true and five false, because these five been not so long as the other seven be: and therefore called false Ribs, as it may be perceived by the sight of the Eye. Likewise, of the parts that be inwardly, and first of the Heart, because he is the principal of all other members, and the beginning of life: he is set in the midst of the Breast severally by himself, as Lord and King of all members. And as a Lord or a King ought to be served of his Subjects that have their living of him, so are all other members of the Body subjects to the Heart: for they receive their living of him, and they do service many ways unto him again. The substance of the Heart is as it were Lazartus Flesh, but it is spermaticke, and an official member, and the beginning of life, and he giveth to every member of the Body, both blood of life, and spirit of breath, and heat: for if the Heart were of Lazartus flesh, his moving and stirring should be voluntary and not natural, but the contrary is true: for it were impossible that the Heart should be ruled by Will only, and not by Nature. The Heart hath the shape and form of a Pineapple, and the broad end thereof is upwards, and the sharp end is downwards: depending a little towards the left side.  
And he it is to be noted, that the Heart hath blood in his substance, whereas all other members have it but in their Veins and Arteirs: Also the Heart is bound with certain Ligaments to the back part of the Breast, but these Ligaments touch not the substance of the Heart, but in the over-part they spring forth of him, and is fastened as a aforesaid. Furthermore, the Heart hath two Ventricles, or Concavities, and the left is higher than the right, and the cause of his hollowness, is this: For to keep the blood for his nourishing, and the air to abate and temper the great heat that he is in, the which is kept in Concavities. Now here it is to be noted, that to the right Ventrickle of the Heart, cometh a Vein from the great Vein called Venakelis, that receiveth all the substance of the blood from the Liver. And this Vein that cometh from Venakelis, entereth into the heart of the right Ventricle, as I said before, and in him is brought a great portion of the thickest blood to nourish the heart with, and the residue that is left of this, is made subtle through the virtue of the Heart, and then this Blood is sent into a Concavity or pit in the midst of the Heart, between the two Ventricles, and therein it is made hot and pured, and then it passeth into the left Ventricle, and there is engendered in it, a Spirit, that is cléerer, brighter, and subtler, than any Corporall or Bodily thing, that is engendered of the four Elements: For it is a thing, that is a mean between the Body and the Soul. Wherefore it is likened of the Philosophers to be more liker heavenly things, then earthly things.  
Also it is to be noted, that from the left Ventricle of the heart springeth two Arteirs: the one having but one Coat, and therefore it is called Arteria Venalis: And this Arteir carrieth Blood from the Heart to the Lungs, the which Blood is vaporous, that is tried and left of the Heart, and is brought by this Artery to the Lungs, to give him Nutriment, and there he receiveth of the Lungs air and bringeth it to the heart to refresh him with.  
Wherefore Galen saith, that he findeth that man's Heart is Natural and friendly to the Lungs: For he giveth him of his own Mutrimentall to nourish him with, and the Lungs reward him with air, to refresh him with again, etc.  
The other Artery that hath two Coats, is called Vena Arterialis, or the Great Artery, that ascendeth and descendeth, and of him springeth all the other Arteirs that spread to every member of the Body: for by him is united and quickened all the members of the Body. For the Spirit that is retained in them, is the instrument or treasure of all the virtue of the Soul. And thus it passeth until it come to the Brain, and there he is turned into a further digestion, and there he taketh another Spirit, and so is made animal, and at the Liver nutrimental, and at the Testikles generative: and thus it is made a spirit of every kind, so that he being mean of all manner operations and workings, taketh effect. Two causes I find why these Arteirs have two Coats. One is, that one Coat is not sufficient, nor able to withstand the violent moving and stirring of the Spirit of life, that is carried in them.  
The second cause is, that the thing that is carried about from place to place, is of so precious a Treasure, that it had the more need of good keeping. And of some Doctors, this Artery is called the Pulsative Vein, or the beating Vein: for by him is perceived the power and might of the Heart, etc. Wherefore God and Nature have ordained, that the Arteirs have two Coats. Also there is in the Heart three Pellikles, opening and closing the going in of the Heart blood, and spirit in convenient time. Also the Heart hath two little Ears, by whom cometh in and passeth out the Air that is prepared for the Lungs. Also there is found in the Heart a Cartilaginous Auditament, to help and strengthen the self Heart. Also the Heart is covered with a strong Pannicle, which is called of some Capsula Cordes, or Paricordium, the which is a strong case, unto whom cometh Nerves, as to other inward members. And this Pannicle Pericordium, springeth of the upper Pannicle of the Midriff. And of him springeth another Pannicle called Mediastinum, the which departeth the Breast in the midst, and keepeth that the Lungs fall not over the Heart. Also there is another Pannicle that covereth the Ribs inwardly, that is called Plura, of whom the Midriff taketh his beginning. And it is said of many Doctors, that Duramater is the Original of all the Pannicles within the Body: and thus one taketh of another.   

CHAP. VIII. The Anatomy of the Lungs.  
THE Lungs is a member Spermatick of the first Creation, and his natural complexion is cold and dry, and in his accidental complexion he is cold and moist, lapped in a Nervous Pannicle, because it should gather together the softer substance of the Lungs, and that the Lungs might feel by the means of the Pannicle, that which he might not feel in himself. Now to prove the Lungs to been cold and dry of kind, it appeareth by his swift stirring. for he lieth ever waving over the Heart, and about the Heart. And that he is cold and moist in reward, it appeareth well, that he receiveth of the Brain many cold matters, as Cataries and Rheums, whose substance is thin. Also I find in the Lungs three kinds of substance. One is a Vein coming from the Liver, bringing with him the Crude or raw part of the Chylle, to feed the Lungs. Another is Arteria Venealis, coming from the Heart, bringing with him the spirit of life to nourish him with. The third is Trachia Arteria, that bringeth in air to the Lungs, and it passeth through all the left part of them to do his Office.  
The Lungs is divided into five Lobbes or Pellikeles, or five portions (that is to say) three in the right side, and two in the left side. And this was done for this cause, that if there fell any hurt in the one part, the others should serve and do their office. And three causes I find, why the Lungs were principally ordained. First, that they should draw cold wind, and refresh the Heart. The second, that they should change and alter, and purify the air before it come to the Heart, lest the heart were hurt and annoyed with the quantity of the air. The third cause is, that they should receive from the heart the fumous superfluities that he putteth forth with his breathing, etc.  
Behind the Lungs, toward the Spondels, passeth Myre or Isofagus, of whom it is spoken of in the Anatomy of the Neck. And also there passeth both Veins and Arteirs, and all these with Trachia Arteria, do make a Stoke, replete unto the Gullet, with the Pannicles, and strong Ligaments, and Glandulus flesh to fulfil the void places. And last of all: is the Midriff, and it is an official member made of two Pannicles and Lazartus flesh, and his place is in the midst of the body, overthwart or in breath under the region of the Spiritual members, departing them from the Matrix.  
And three causes I find, why the Midriff was ordained. First, that it would divide the Spirituals from the Nutrates. The second, that it should keep the vital colour or heat to descend down to the Nutrates. The last is, that the malicious fumes reared up from the Nutrates, should not noy the Spirituals or vitals, etc.  
The womb is the Region or the City of all the Entrails, the which reacheth from the Midriff down unto the share inwardly and outwardly from the reins or Kidneys, down to the bone Pecten, about the privy parts. And this Womb is compound and made of two things (that is to say) of Syfac, and Myrac; Syfac is a Pannicle, and a member spermaticke, official, sensible, Sinewy, compound of subtle Will, and in complexion cold and dry, having his beginning in the inner Pannicle of the Midriff. And it was ordained, because it should contain and bind together all the Entrails, and that he defend the Musculus, so that he oppress not the Natural members. And that he is strong and tough, it is because he should not be lightly broken, and not those things that are contained go not forth, as it happeneth to them that are broken, etc. Myrac is compound, and made of four things (that is to say) of Skin outwardly of Fatness, of a Carnous Pannicle and of Musculus Flesh. And that it is to been understanded, that all the whole from Syfac outward, is called Myrac, it appeareth well (by the words of Galen) where he commandeth, that in all wounds of the Womb, to sew the Syfac, with the Mirac, and by that it proveth, that there is nothing without the Syfac but Mirac. And in this Mirac, or utter part of the Womb, there is noted eight Muscles, two Longitudinals, proceeding from the shield of the stomach, unto▪ Os Pecten: two Latitudinals coming from the backwards to the Womb: and four Transverse, of the which, two of them spring from the Ribs on the right side, and go to the left side, to the Bones of the Haunches, or of Pecten: and the other two spring from the Ribs on the left, and come over the womb to the right parts, as the other before doth.  
Here is to be noted, that by the virtue of the subtle will that is in the Musculus longitudinal, is made perfect the virtue attractive: and by the Musculus Transverse, is made the virtue retentius: and by the Musculus Latitudinall, is made the virtue expulsive. It is thus to be understood, that by the virtue attractive, is drawn down into the entrails, all superfluities, both water, wind, and diet. By the virtue retentive, all things are withheld and kept, until Nature have wrought his kind. And by the virtue expulsive is put forth all things, when Nature provoketh any thing to be done. Galen saith that wounds or incisions be more perilous in the midst of the womb, then about the sides, for there the parts be more tractable than any other parts been. Also he saith, that in wounds piercing the womb there shall not been made good incarnation, except Sifac be sewed with Mirac. Now to come to the parts contained within: First, that which appeareth next under the Sifac is Omentum or Zirbus, the which is a Pannicle covering the stomach and the Entrails, unyla●ie● with many Veins and Arteirs, and not a little fatness ordained to keep moist the inward parts.  
This Zirbus is an official member, and is compound of a Vein and an Arteir, the which entereth and maketh a line of the utter Tunicle of the stomach, unto which Tunicle hangeth the Zirbus, and covereth all the Guts down to the share.  
Two causes I find, why they were ordained. One is, that they should defend the Nutratives outwardly. The second is, that through his own power and virtue, he should strengthen and comfort the digestion of all the Nutrates, because they are more féebler than other members been, because they have but a thin womb or Skin, etc. Next Zirbus appeareth the Entrails or guts of which Galen saith, that the Guts were ordained in the first Creation to convey the dross of the meat and drink, and to cleanse the body of their superfluities. And here it is to be noted, that there be fix portions of one whole Gut, which both in man and Beast beginneth at the nether mouth of the stomach, and so containeth forth to the end of the Fundament. Nevertheless he hath divers shapes and forms, and divers operations in the Body, and therefore he hath divers names. And hereupon the Philosophers say, that the lower womb of a man, is like unto the womb of a Swine. And like as the stomach hath two Tunicles, in like manner have all the Guts two Tunicles. The first portion of the Guts is called Duodenum; for he is 12. Inches of length, and covereth the nether part of the stomach, and receiveth all the dross of the stomach: the second portion of the Guts is called jejunium, for he is evermore empty, for to him lieth evermore the Chest of the Gall, beating him sore, and draweth forth of him all the dross, and cleanseth him clean: the third portion or Gut, is called Yleon, or small Gut, and is in length fifteen or sixteen Cubits. In this Gut oftentimes falleth a disease called Yleaca Passio. The fourth Gut is called Monoculus, or blind Gut, and it seemeth to have but one hole or mouth, but it hath two, one near unto the other, for by the one all things go in, and by the other they go out again. The fift is called Colon, and receiveth all the dross deprived from all profitableness, and therefore there cometh not to him any Veins Miseraices, as to the other. The sixth and last, is called Rectum or Longaon, and he heis ended in the Fundament, and hath in his nether end four Muscles, to hold, to open, to shut, and to put out, etc. Next is to be noted of Mensenterium, the which is nothing else but a texture of inmunerable Veins Miser●ices, ramefied of one Vein called Porta Epates, covered and defended of Pannicles and Ligaments coming to the Entrails, with the bacl full of farnesse and Glandulus flesh, etc.  
The stomach is a member compound and Spermaticke, sin●●wy and sensible, and therein is made perfect the first digestion of Chile. This is a necessary member to all the Body, for if it fail in his working, all the members of the Body shall corrupt.  
Wherefore Galen saith, that the stomach was ordained principally for two causes. The first, that it should be to all the members of the Body, as the earth is to all that are engendered of the earth, that is, that it should desire sufficient meat for all the whole Body. The second is, that the stomach should been a sack or Chest to all the Body for the meat; and as a Cook to all the members of the Body. The stomach is made of two Pannicles, of which the inner is Nerveous, and the utter Carneous. This inner Pannicle hath Musculus Longitudinals, that stretcheth along from the stomach to the mouth, by the which he draweth to him meat and drink, as it were hands. And he hath Transverse will, for to withhold or make retention. And also the utter Pannicle hath Latitudinall will, to expulse and put out: and that by his heat he should keep the digestive virtue of the stomach, and by other heats given by his Neighbours, as thus. It hath the Liver on the right side, chase and beating him with his lobes or figures: and the Spleen on the left side, with his fatness and Veins, sending to him Melancholy, to exercise his appetites: and about him is the heart, quickening him with his arteries: Also the Brain sending to him a Branch of Nerves to give him feeling. And he hath on the hinder part, descending from the parts of the bacl many Ligaments, with the Arteries joined to the Spondels of the Back. The form or figure of this stomach is long, in likeness of a gourde, crooked: and that both holes been in the upper part of the body of it, because there should be no going out of it unadvisedly of those things which are received into it. The quantity of the stomach commonly holdeth two Pitchers of water, and it may suffer many passions, and the nother mouth of the stomach is narrower than the upper, and that for three causes. The first cause is, that the upper receiveth meat great and boisterous in substance, that there being made subtle, it might pass into the nether. The second is, for by him passeth all the meats, with their chilosity from the stomach to the Liver. The third is, for that through him passeth all the dross of the stomach to the guts. And this sufficeth for the stomach, etc.  
The Liver is a principle member, and official, and of his first creation spermaticke, complete in quantity of blood, of themselves insensible, but by accidence he is insensible, and in him is made the second digestion, and is lapped in a sinewy Pannicle.  
And that he is a principle member, it appeareth only by the Philosophers, by Avicen and Galen. And it is official as is the stomach, and it is of spermatick matter, and sinewy of the which is engendered his Veins. And because it was like in quantity, Nature hath added to it crudded blood, to the accomplishment of sufficient quantity, and is lapped in a sinewy Pannicle. And why the Liver is crudded, is because the Chile which cometh from the stomach to the Liver, should be turned into the colour of blood.  
And why the Liver was ordained, was because that all the nutrimental blood been engendered in him. The proper place of the Liver is under the false Ribs in the right side. The form of the Liver is gibbous or bunchie on the back side, and it is somewhat hollow like the inside of an hand. And why it is so shapen, is, that it should been pliable to stomach, like as a hand doth to an Apple, to comfort her digestion, for his heat is to the stomach, as the heat of the fire is to the Pot or Cauldron that hangeth over it.  
Also the Lungs is bound with his Pellikles to the Diafragma, and with strong Ligaments. And also he hath Coliganes with the stomach and the Entrails, and with the Heart and the reins, the Testikles and other members. And there are in him five Pellikles, like five fingers. Galen calleth the Liver Messa Sanguinaria, containing in itself four substances. Natural and nutrimental. The Naturals is sent with the blood to all parts of the body, to be engendered and nourished. And the Nutrimentals be sequestrate and sent to places ordained for some helpings. These are the places of the Humours, the blood in the Liver, Choler in the Chest or Gall, Melancholy to the Spleen, Phlegm to the Lungs and the junctures, the watery superfluities to the reins and Vesike. And they go with the Blood, and sometime they putrify and make Fevers, and some been put out to the Skin, and been rosolved by sweat, or by Scabs, by Pushes, or by Impostumes.  
And these four natural Humours (that is to say) Sanguine, Choler, Melancholy, and Phlegm, be engendered and distributed in this manner: First, ye shall understand, that from the Spermaticke matter of the Liver inwardly, there is engendered two great Veins, of the which, the first and the greatest is called Porta, and cometh from the concavity of the Liver, of whom springeth all the small Veins Miseraices: and these Miseraices, be to Vena Porta, as the branches of a Tree been to the stock of a Tree. For some of them been contained with the bottom of the stomach: some with Duodenum, some with Jejunium, some with Yleon, and some with Monoculus, or Saccus. And from all these Guts they bring to Vena Porta, the succosity of Chiley, going from the stomach, and distribute it into the substance of the Liver. And these Veins Miseraices, be innumerable. And in these Veins begun the second Digestion, and ended in the Liver, like as it is in the stomach the first Digestion.  
So it proveth that Vena Porta, and Vena Miseraices, serve to bring all the succozity of all the meat and drink▪ that passeth the stomach to the Liver, and they spread themselves through the substance of the Liver inwardly, and all they stretch towards the gibous (or bowing part of the Liver,) and there they meet, and go all into one Unity, and make the second great Vein, called Vena Ulis, or Concava, or Vena Ramosa: all is one, and he with his Roots draweth out all the blood engendered from the Liver, and with his branches Ramefying upwards and downwards, carrieth and convayeth it to all other Members of the Body to been nourished with, where is made perfect the third digestion. And also there goeth from the Liver Veins, bearing the superfluities of the third Digestion to their proper places, as it shall be declared hereafter. Now to speak of the Gall, or of the Chest of the Gall: It is an official member, and it is supermaticke and sinewy, and hath in it a subtiill Will, and it is a purse or a Panniculer Vesikle in the hollowness of the Liver, about the middle Pericle or Lobe, ordained to receive the Choleric superfluities which are engendered in the Liver: The which purse or bag hath three holes or Necks; By the first he draweth to him from the Liver the Choler, that the Blood be not hurt by the Choler. By the second Neck he sendeth to the bottom of the stomach Choler, the further the Digestion of the stomach. And by the third▪ Neck he sendeth the Choler regularly from one Gut to another, to cleanse them of their superfluities and Dross: and the quantity of the purse, may contain in it half a pint, etc.  
And next is the Spleen, or the milt, the which is a supermaticke member, as are other members: and official, and is the receptory of the Melancholious superfluities that are engendered in the Life's: and his place is on the left side, transversly linked to the stomach, and his substance is thin. And two causes I find, why he was ordained there. The first is, that by the Melancholius superfluities which are engendered of the Liver which he draweth to him he is nourished with. The second cause is, that the nutritive Blood should by him be made the more purer, and clean, from the Dross and thicking of the Melancholy, etc.  
And next of the reins and Kidneys: It is to be understood that within the Region of the Nutrites backwards, are ordained the Kidneys to cleanse the Blood from the watery superfluities, and they have each of them two passages or holes, or Necks: By the one is drawn the water from Venakelis, by two Veins, which are called Vencae Aemulgentes, the length of the finger of a man, and issueth from the Liver: and by the other is sent the same water to the Bladder, and is called Poros Urithides.  
The substance of the Kidneys is Lazartus Flesh, having longitudinal will, and their place is behind, on each side of the Spondels, and they are two in number, and the right Kidney lieth somewhat higher than the left, and is bound fast to the back with Ligaments. The Philosopher saith that man's Kidneys are like the Kidneys of a Cow, full of hard Concavities, and therefore the sores of them are hard to cure. Also they are more harder in substance, than any other fleshly member, and that for two causes. One is, that he been not much hurt of the sharpness of the Urine. The other is, that the same Urine that passeth from him, might the better be altered and cleansed through the same. Also there cometh from the heart to each of the Kidneys, an Artery, that bringeth with him Blood, heat, spirit, and Life. And in the same manner there cometh a Vein from the Liver, that bringeth blood to nourish the Kidneys, called Blood nutrimental.  
The grease of the Kidneys or Fatness, is as of other inward members, but it is an official member, made of thin Blood, congealed and crudded through cold, and there is ordained the greater quantity in his place, because it should receive and temper the heat of the Kidneys, which they have of the biting sharpness of the Water.  
Now by the Kidneys upon the Spondels, passeth Venakelis; or Venacua, which is a Vein of great substance: for he receiveth all the nutrimental blood from the Liver, and from him passeth many small Pipes on every side, and at the Spondell between the shoulders, he divideth himself whole in two great branches, the one goeth into the one arm, and the other into the other, and there they divide themselves into many Veins and branches, as is declared in the arms.   

CHAP. IX. The Anatomy of the Haunches and their parts.  
THE Haunches are the lower part of the Womb, joining to the Thighs and the secret members. And three things there are to be noted thereof. The first is of the parts containing: the second is of the parts contained, and the third is of the parts proceeding outwards. The parts containing outwardly, be Myrac and Syfac, the Zirbus and the bones. The part contained outwardly, a●e the Vez●ke, or Bladder: the Spermaticke vessels, the Matrix in women, Langaon. Nerves, Veins, and Arteries, descending downwards; the parts proceeding outwards, are the Buttocks and the Muscles, descending to the Thighs, of which it is to been spoken of in order. And first of the parts containing: as of Myrac, Syfac, and Zirbus, there is enough spoken of in the Anatomy of the Womb. But as for the Bones of the Haunches, there been the parts of the back three Spondels of Ossa sacri, or of the Haunches: and three Caitailiginiss Spondels of Ossa Cande, called the Taile-bone.  
And thus it is proved, that there is in every man thirty Spondels, and thus they are to be numbered: in the Neck seven, in the Ridge twelve; in the Reins five: and in the Haunches six: And it is to be noted, that every Spondell is hollow in the midst: through which hollowness passeth Nuca from the Brain, or the Marrow of the Back. And some Authors say, that Mynuca is of the substance that the Brain is of: For it is like in substance, and in itself giveth to the Nerves both the ver●ue Moving and Feeling.  
And also every Spondell is holden on every side, through the which holes, both Arteirs and Veins do bring from the Heart and the Liver both Life and nourishment, like as they do to the Brain: and from the Pannicle of Mynuca, or the Marrow of the back, through the holes of the sides of the Spondels, springeth forth Nerves motives, and there they intermeddle themselves with the strong Ligaments that be insensible, and so the Ligaments receive that feeling of the Nerve, which the Nerves taketh of Mynuca. And by this reason many Authors prove, that Mynuca is of the same substance that the Brain is of, and the Pannicles of the Nuca is of the same substance of the Pannicles of the Brain, etc. And each of these Spondels been bound fast one with another, so that one of them may not well been named without another. And so all these Spondels together, contained one by another are called the Ridge-bone, which is the foundation of all the shape of the Body. They with the last Spondell be contained or joined to the Bones of the Haunches, and they be the upholders of all the Spondels. And these Bones been small towards the Tale bone, and abroad towards the Haunches, and before they join and make Os Pectinis. And so they been broad in the parts of the Isles, and therefore some Authors calleth it Ilea. And each of these two Bones towards the Liver hath a great round hole, into which is received the Bone called Vertebra, or the Whorlebone. Also besides that place there is a great hole or way, thorough the which passeth from above Musculus Veins and Arteries, and go into the Thighs. And thus it is to been noted, that of this Bone Pecten, and the Bone Vertebra, is made the juncture of the Thigh.  
Now to speak of the parts contained, the first thing that cometh to sight is the Bladder, the which is an official member, compound of two Nervous Pannicles, in complexion cold and dry, whose Neck is carnous, and hath Muscles to withhold, and to let go: and in man it is long, and is contained with the yard, passing through Peritoneum, but in women it is shorter, and is contained with the Vulua. The place of the Bladder, is between the bone of the Share and the Tayle-gut, called Longaon, and in women, it is between the aforesaid bone and the Matrix.  
And in it is implanted two long vessels coming from the Kidneys, whose names be Porri Urikcides, bringing with them the Urine or water from the Kidneys to the Bladder, which privily entereth into the holes of the Pannicles of the Bladder, by a natural moving between Tunicle and Tunicle, and there the Urine findeth the hole of the nether Tunicle, and there it entereth privily into the concavity of the bladder, and the more that the Bladder is filled with Urine, the straiter been the two Pannicles comprised together, for the holes of the Tunicles be not even one against another, and therefore if the bladder be never so full, there may none go bacl again. The form of it is round, the quantity of it is a Pitcher full, in some more, in some less, etc.  
Also there is found two other vessels, called Vaza Seminaria, or the Spermaticke Vessels. And they come from Venakelis, bringing blood to the Tostikles, as well in man, as in woman, the which by his further digestion it is made sperm or nature in men: they be put outward, for the Testikles be without, but in women it abideth within, for there Testikles stand within: as it shall be declared hereafter.  
Next followeth the Matrix in women: the Matrix in women is an official member, compound and Nerveous, and in complexion cold and dry: and it is the field of man's genertion, and it is an instrument susceptive, that is to say, a thing receiving or taking: and her proper place is betwéne the Bladder and the Gut Longaon, the likeness of it, is as it were a yard reversed and turned inward, having Testikles likewise, as aforesaid. Also the Matrix hath two Concavities or Selles, and no more, but all Beasts have as many Selles as they have Paps heads. Also it hath a long Neck like an Urinal, and in every Neck it hath a mouth, that is to say, one within, and another without. The inner in the time of conception is shut, and the utter part is open as it was before: and it hath in the midst a Lazartus Pannicle, which is called in Latin Tengito: And in the creation of this Pannicle, is found two utilities. The first is, that by it goeth forth the Urine, or else it should been shed throughout all the Vulva: The second is, that when a woman doth set her Thighs abroad, it altereth the air that cometh to the Matrix for to temper the heat.  
Furthermore, the Neck that is between these two aforesaid mouths, in her concavity hath many involusions and pleates, joined together in the manner of Rose leaves before they be fully spread or ripe, and so they be shut together as a purse mouth, so that nothing may pass forth but urine, until the time of childing. Also about the middle of this neck be certain Veins in Maidens, the which in time of deflowering, be corrupted and broken. Furthermore, in the sides of the utter mouth, are two Testicles or Stones, and also two vessels of sperm, shorter than man's vessels, and in time of Coyt the Woman's sperm is shed down in the bottom of the Matrix. Also from the Liver there cometh to the Matrix many Veins, bringing to the Child nourishing at the time of a woman's being with Child: and these Veins, at such time as the Matrix is void, bring thereto superfluities from certain members of the Body, whereof are engendered woman's Flowers, etc.  
And forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God to give the knowledge of these his Mysteries and Works unto his Creatures in this present World. Here I ●●ppose to declare what t●ing Embreon is, and his Creation. The noble Philosophers, as Galen, Avicen, Bartholmeus, and divers others, writing upon this matter, say: That Embreon is a thing engendered in the Mother's womb, the original whereof is, the sperm of the Man and of the Woman, of the which is made by the might and power of GOD, in the mother's womb a Child: as hereafter more at large shall been declared. First, the field of Generation called the Matrix, or the Mother, is known in the Anatomy, whose place is properly (betwixt the Bladder and Longaon) in the Woman, in which place is sown by the Tillage of man, a covenable matter of kindly heat: For kindly heat is cause officient both of doing and working, and Spirit that giveth virtue to the Body, and governeth and ruleth that virtue: the which Séed of generation cometh from all the parts of the Body, both of the Man and Woman, with consent and will of all Members, and is shed in the plac● of Conceiving, where thorough the virtue of Nature, it is gathered together in the Cells of the Matrix or the Mother, in whom by the way of the working of man's Seed, and by the way of suffering of the Woman's Séed mixed together, so that each of them worketh in other, and suffereth in other, there is engendered Embreon. And further it is to been noted, that this sperm that cometh both to man and woman, is made and gathered of the most best and purest drops of Blood in all the body, and by the labour and cha●ing of the Testikles or Stones, this Blood is turned into another kind, and is made sperm. And in man it is hot, white, and thick: wherefore it may not spread nor run abroad of itself, but runneth and taketh temperance of the Woman's sperm which hath contrary qualities: For the woman's sperm is thinner, colder, and féebler.  
And as some Authors hold opinion, when this matter is gathered into the right side of the Matrix, than it happeneth a Male kind, and likewise on the left the Female, and where the virtue is most, there it favoureth most. And further it is to been noted, that like as the Renet of the Cheese hath by himself the way or virtue of working, so hath the Milk by way of suffering: and as the Renet and milk make the Cheese, so doth the sperm of Man and Woman make the generation of Embreon, of the which thing springeth (by the virtue of kindly heat) a certain Skin or Caule, into the which it lappeth itself in, wherewith afterwards it is tied to the Mother's womb, the which covering cometh forth with the birth of the Child: and if it happen that any of the Skin remain after the birth of the Child, th●● is the Woman in peril of her life.  
Furthermore, (if is said) that of this Embreon is engendered the Heart, the Liver, the Brains, Nerves, Veins, Arteirs, Cords, Ligaments, Skins, Gristles, and Bones, receiving to them by kindly virtue the menstrual blood, of which is engendered both flesh and fatness. And as writers say, the first thing that is shapen, be the principals: as is the Heart, Liver, and Brain. For of the Heart springeth the Arteries: of the Liver, the Veins: and of the Brain, the Nerves: and when these are made, Nature maketh and shapeth both Bones and Gristles to keep and save them, as the bones of the head for the Brain: the Breast Bones, and the Ribs, for the Heart and the Liver. And after these springeth all other members one after another: and thus is the Child bred forth in four degrees, as thus. The first is, when the said sperm or Séed is at the first as it were Milk. The second is, when it is turned from that kind into another kind, is yet but as a lump of Blood, and this is called of hippocras, Fettus. The third degree is, when the principals be shapen as the Heart, Liver, and Brains. The fourth and last, as when all the other members been perfectly shapen, then if receiveth the Soul, with Life and Breath, and then it beginneth to move itself alone, Now in these four degrees aforesaid, in the first as Milk, it continueth sevendayes: in the second as Fettus, nine days: in the third, as a lump of Flesh engendering the principals the space of nine days: and the fourth unto the time fo full perfection of all the whole members, is the space of eighteen days: So is there six and forty days from the day of Conception, unto the day of full perfection and receiving of the Soul, as God best knoweth.  
Now to come again to the Anatomy of the Haunches: Then come we to Longaon, otherwise called the Taile-gut, whose substance is Pannicular, as of all the other Bowels: the length of it is of a span long stretching nigh to the reins, his nether part is called Annis, (that is to say) the towel: and about him is found two Muscles, the one to open, the other to shut. Also there is found in him five Veins or Branches of Veins, called Venae Emoraidales, and they have Colliganes with the Bladder: whereof they are partners in their grieues.  
And when this Longaon is raised up, than ye may see the Veins and Arteries, and Sinews, how they been branched and bound down to the nether parts: the parts proceeding outwardly, are Didimus Peritoneum, the Yard, the Testlkles, and Buttocks. And first, it shall be spoken of the Yard, or of man's generative members, the which dureth unto that part that is called Peritoneum, the which place is from the Cod, unto the Fundament, whereupon is a se●●e. Wherefore saith the Philosopher, man's Yard is in the end and term of the share.  
The Yard is an official member, and the tiler of man's generation, compound, and made of Skin, Brawns, Tendons, Veins, Arteirs, Sinews, and great Ligaments: and it hath in it two passages, or principal issue, one for the sperm, and another for the Urine. And as the Philosophers say, the quantity of a common yard, is eight or nine Inches, with measurable bigness proportioned to the quantity of the Matrix.  
This member hath (as Avicen saith) three holes, through one passeth insensible polisions and wind, that causeth the Yard to rise: the other two holes is declared before. Also the yard hath a Skin, and about the head thereof, it is double, and that men call Praeputium; and this Skin is movable, for through his consecration the Spermaticke matter is the better, and sooner gathered together, and sooner cast forth from the Testikles: for by him, is bad the most delectation in the doing. And the foremost part of the head of the Yard before, is made of a brawny flesh, the which if it been once lost, it is never restored again, but it may be well skinned, etc.  
The Cod is a compound member, and an official, and though it been counted amongst the generative members, yet it is called a principal member, because of generation. This Purse was ordained for the custody and comfort of the Testikles and other Spermaticke vessels: and it is also made of two parts, of the inner and of the utter.  
The utter is compound and made of Skin, and Lazartus. longitudinal and transversal, in like manner as the Myrac. The inner part of the Cod is of the substance of the Sifac, and are in similitude as two pockets drawn together by themselves, and they differ not from the Syfac: and there been two, because if there fall any hurt to the one, the other should serve. The Testikles or stones been two, made of Glandulus flesh, or Curnelly flesh. And furthermore, through the Didimus, cometh the Testikles from the Brain, Sinews, and from the Heart Arteries and from the Liver Veins, bringing unto them both feeling and stirring, Life, and Spirit, and nutrimental blood, and the most purest blood of all other members of the Body, whereof is made the sperm by the labour of the Testikles, the which is put forth in due time, as is before rehearsed.  
The Groynes been known: they been the empty junctures, or purging place unto the Liver, and they have curnelly flesh in the plying or bowing of the Thighs. The Hips have great brawny flesh on them, and from thence descend downwards, Brawns, Cordes, and Ligaments, moving and binding together the Thighs, with the Haunches themselves.   

CHAP. X. The Anatomy of the Thighs, Legs, and Feet.  
THE Leg reacheth from the joint of the Thigh unto the extremity of the Toes, and I will divide it in parts, as the Arms were divided. One part is called Coxa, or Thigh, and that is all that is contained from the joint of the Haunch unto the Knee. The second part is called Tibia, and that reacheth from the Knee to the Ankle. The third is the little foot, and that is from the Ankle, unto the end of the Toes. And here it is to been noted, that the Thigh, Leg, and foot, are compound, and made as the great Arm or hand, with Skin, Flesh, Veins, Arteries, Sinews, Brawns, Tendons, and Bones, whereof they are to be spoken of in order.  
Of the Skin and Flesh there is enough spoken of before. And as of Veins and Arteirs in their descending downwards, of the last Spondels they been divided into two parts, whereof the one part goeth into the right Thigh, and the other into the Left: And when they come to the Thigh, they be divided in other two great Branches: the one of them spreadeth into the inner side of the Leg, and the other spreadeth into the utter side, and so branching, descend down to the Leg, to the Ankles, and Feet, and be brought into four Veins, which be commonly used in letting Blood, as hereafter followeth.  
One of them is under the inner Ankle toward the heel, called Soffena, and another under the under Ankle, called Siarica, and another under the Ham, called Poplitica, the fourth, between the little Toe. and next, called Renalis. And it is to be noted of these four great Veins in the Legs, of the manifold dangers that might fall of them as oft it happeneth. There been many other branches which a Chirurgeon needeth not much to pass upon. The Sinews spring of the last Spondell, and of Os Sacrum, and passeth through the hole of the bone of the Hip, and descendeth to the Brawns, and moveth the Knee and the Ham, and these descend down to the Ankle, and move the Foot, and the brawns of the Feet move the Toes in like manner, as is declared in the bones of the Hand. The first is called Coxa, that is the Thighbone, and he is without a fellow, and he is full of Marrow, and is round at either end. The roundness that is at the upper end, is called Vertebrum, or Whyrlebone, and boweth inwards; and is received into the box or hole of the Haunch bone: and at the lower end towards the Knee, there it hath two rounds, which been received into the Concavities of the bone of the Leg, at the Knee, called the great Fo●sels. There is also at the Knee a round bone, called the Knée-panne. Then followeth the Leg, wherein is two bones, called Focile Major, and Focile Minor, the bigger of them passeth before, making the shape of the shin, and it is called the Shinbone, and passeth down, making the inner ankle. The less passeth from the Knee backwards, descending down to the utter Ankle, and there formeth that Ankle, etc. The bones of the Feet are six and twenty: as thus. First, next the Ankle bone, is one called in Latin Orabalistus: Next under that, towards the he'll is one, called Calcani: and between them is another bone, called Os Nauculare. In the second ward there be four bones called Raceti, as be in the hands. In the third and fourth wards be fourteen, called Digitori: and five called Pectens, of the extremities of the Toes, next to the Nails. And thus be there in the Foot, six and twenty bones, with the Leg from the Ankle to the Knee, two in the knee, and one round and flat bone, and in the Thigh, one. And thus you shall find in the whole Leg and Foot thirty bones. And this shall serve for young Practitioners.  
Thus fare the Anatomy.    

DIVERS THINGS VERY necessary for every Chirurgeon to have in a readiness. PART. II.  
ANd first, for Instruments: as, 

Novacula.  
Sealpellum.  
Forficis.  
Volsella.  
Specillum.  
Latum Specillum.  
Stylus.  
Acus.  
Canalicula Forata.  
Habena ad membra laqueo intercipienda.  
Fascia.  
Panniculi linei ad vulnera abliganda.  
Lintea concerpta.  
Auriscalpium.  
Forcipes ad dentes evellendos.  
Ferramentum quo eroli dentes, eraduntur.  
Uncinus, or (as Celsus calleth it) Hamulum retusum.    

For Medicines.  
HE must have in readiness Powders, Unguents, and Emplasters; they serve to stop Bleeding, to conglutinate Wounds, to cleanse foul and rotten Ulcers, to mollific hardness, to produce a Cicatrix, and Skin, to remove away all excrescent and corrupt Flesh, to cease pain, to strengthen Fractures and Luxations.   

For Powders.  
THey are of three sorts: The first, is to stay Bleeding, as that which is framed of Bolus Armoniae, of Rosis, of Mastiches, and Pollin.  
The second is, for Fractures of the Scull, and hurts of other Bones, and is called Pulvis Cephalicus, and is framed of R●dicibus ireos, of Aristolochiae, of Myrrh, Aloes, and such like.  
The third is, to remove away excrescent and corrupt Flesh; as Alumen ustum, of Pul. praecipit. Mercurii, and such like.   

For Unguents.  
HE must have Unguentum Basilicon, which doth humect, digest, and cease pain.  
Unguentum album Rhasis, which doth Refrigerate, cool and dry.  
Unguentum Aureum, called of some Regis, which doth Incarnate and conglutinate Wounds together.  
Unguentum Dialthea simplex, which doth Calefie, soften, humect, and also cease pain.  
Unguentum Apostolorum, which doth deterge, mollify, dry, and remove away corrupt and superfluous Flesh: And of like faculty almost is Mundificativum ex apio, and Aegyptiacum.   

For Emplasters.  
DIachilon compositum, which doth ripen Apostates, and doth mollify and resolve hardness, and doth digest, and also absterge.  
Diacalciteos, commonly called Di●p●l●a, which doth conglutinate Ulcers, produceth Cicatrix and ekians, and according to the opinion of Galen, is very fit for the curing of Phlegm.  
Empl●strum de B●t●nica, which is also called D●●●nua, it doth unite and join together the fractures of the skull, it covereth the bones with fl●sh, it draweth out Spells and splinters of bones, it doth also absterge, digest and dry, with the like.   

Of five Herbs which a good Chirurgeon ought always to have.  
THere be five Herbs that a good Chirurgeon ought to have all the year, and they be good for wounded men, and these Herbs must be dried and made into powder, and so kept all the year, viz. Mouse ear, Pimpernell, Avence, Valerian, and G●ntian, of each a like quantity, but take of Mouse-eare the weight of all the other herbs, when they be dried, take demi▪ spoonful in untiment, or in some other liquor which is according to the sickness, and let him drink it, and the Medicine is as good as a Salve for any wounded man, as may be had for to heal him. Also the herbs that draweth the wound, are Occui●s Christi, M●ther, bugloss, red Cole wort●, and Orpine. Th●se be the sovereign pepper heathes for the Fester, herb Robert, bugloss, Sa●nacle, Hem●ropes, M●rrell, Rew, and Sav●●●, but take good heed of these herbs, and ye shall work the better.    

OF WOUNDS. PART. III.  

A Definition of Wounds by their causes.  
A Wound is a solution, severation and recent bre●ch of unity, of that that before was a continuity without putrified matter, which corruption giveth the name of an Ulcer in the solution, and no more a Wound  
The causes of Wounds 〈…〉 viz First by the violence of bo●●●● without 〈◊〉 we simply call an I●c●s●d wound as when it is 〈…〉 Instruments. Secondly, we call it a Stab or 〈…〉 by the force of Daggers and the like. Thirdly, we call 〈◊〉 Contused wounds, caused by violent use of the object, 〈◊〉 some weighty thing cast as a Stone, or strooke 〈…〉, or their similes) against the subject re●●●●●ng 〈◊〉 forces, differing in their ap●ellations be the diversity of 〈◊〉 cau●es.  
Or secondly, wounds are caused by 〈…〉 that is 〈◊〉 Biting, scratching and the like, 〈◊〉 for these 〈◊〉 they differ in their ap●ellations.  
●●so th● 〈◊〉 of Wounds, are taken 〈…〉 inflicted, or from th●● 〈…〉 of the place wherein they are 〈…〉 the place maketh difference thus: either they happen in the similar parts, as the Flesh, Artery, Vein, etc. or in the organical or instrumental parts, as some entire and whole bulk, trunk, or fully complete member, or limb, viz. The Head, Neck, Breast, Belly, etc. Wounds of the Head grow more particular, because that parts belonging thereto be of more note; as the Face, Nose, Lips, Eyes, and Ears: wounds of the limbs, are of the Shoulders, Arms, Thighs, and L●gs. Of the similar parts also, some are Sanguine, as the flesh, whose wounds are either simple, deep, hollow, plain, or proud with flesh. The Spermaticke likewise, are either hard or soft; the soft parts, as the Veins, Arteries, and Sinews, being wounded, we call them wounds of the hurt part; the hard are the Bones, a breach of which, we call a wound in the Bone.  
So Wounds derive their Nominations from the cause, place and similitudes thereof.   

What Wounds are.  
Wounds are these, which in Latin are called Vulnus, of the vulgar Vulner, and they are of two kinds, that is, Simple and Compound: the simple are those, that are only in the Flesh: the compound are those, where are cut Sinews, Veins Muscles, and bones, and these are of divers and sundry kinds, and the difference that is among them, is by the variety of the place where they are wounded, and by the difference of the weapon wherewith they were hurt. For some go right, some overthwart, that offend divers places of the body: the simple are of small importance, if they keep them clean and close shut Nature will heal them, without any kind of medicine: but those where veins are cut, had need of some Art or Practice, with the which they must stop the blood, and in any wise not to suffer the wound to remain open but to sow it up very close, so that the vein may heal, and those where sinews are hurt are of great importance, and would be healed with great speed, so the Sinews may join with more ease. But those where bones are hurt, are of great importance, for if the Bone be separated from the other, of necessity it must be taken forth before the Wound be healed: So that by this means every one may know, what Wounds are and their kinds.   

In the Curing of green Wounds consists a  scope or intention.  

THe first, is to draw out that which is sent into the Body, whether by Bullet, Wood, Bone, or Stone; or Arrows, Darts and such like.  
The second, is a Conjunction and uniting of parts divided.  
The third, is a retaining of those parts united in their proper seat.  
The fourth, is a Conservation of the parts of the substance.  
The fifth, is a Prohibition and mitigation of accidents.   
For the first intention, it is performed either with fit and convenient Instruments, or with attractive Medicines, whereby things that are infixed are drawn out. Which Medicines are these: 

Radix Aristolochiae.  
Arundis.  
Anagallis.  
Thapsia.  
Ammoniacum.  
Saga Poenum.  
Dictamnum.  
Ranae combustae, Or  
Emplastrum Avic●●nae, so much commended by G●ydo.    
The second and third intention, is performed by binding and Ligature, if the Wound be simple and small, and in a place where it may fitly be performed, yea, although it be la●●● so it may be easily bound, as in the Muscles of the Arm, and such like; but if it happen that Ligature will not serve, then must be added the help of the Needle, being very careful to handle the party gently, and to place it in his due seat.  
The fourth intention, is performed and accomplished, by appointing of a fit and convenient Diet, according to the strength of the Patient, and greatness of the affect and disposition of the whole body: for a thin Diet and cold, doth very much avail in resisting of Symptoms, we also add Blood-letting and Purging of humours to avoid accidents, also the part is to be contained in his due place, and a Cataplasm fra●ed with the whites of Eggs, and other cooling things, are to be applied, and sometimes to be fomented with astringed Wine.  
The fift intention, is in the correcting of accidents, which is Fl●x of blood, Dolour, Tumour, Paralysis, Convulsion, Fever, Syncope, Delerium, and Itching.  
But this is to be observed in the Flure of blood: whether it hath flown sufficiently or no; if otherwise the Flux is to be suffered; for after a sufficient Flux, the wound doth remain dry, and is so much the nseacute; erer cured and the less Symptoms follow, as Phlegmon and such like: and if the wound bleed not sufficient, we must open a vein for revulsion, according to the greatness of the affect, and the nature of the wound: especially when through pain or other cause we fear inflammation or a Fever.   

How a sick man should Diet himself being Wounded.  
A Wounded man, or a man sore beaten being sick, must be kept from Milk, Butter, Cheese, Herbs, Fruits, Fish, (except fresh water Fish) Women, Garlic, Onions, Leeks, Peason, etc. also divers sorts of meat must he not eat, as Beef, water Fowls, Goose, or Duck, nor drink to much strong Wine. But may eat Pork, Mutton, Chicken, Hen, or Capon.    

REMEDIES FOR all Captains and Soldiers that Travel, either by Water or by Land. PART. FOUR  
THere are thee Infirmities that offend the Soldiers in the Camp, above all the rest, the which are these: Fevers, Wounds, and Fluxes of the body: the which thou mayest help in this order following, with these Medicines: That Quintessence of Wine, our Balsamo, Magno, Licore, Quintessentia, and Spice Imperial: And the order to use them is thus; When any hath a Fever or Flux, then presently when the Disease beginneth, let him Blood in one of the two Veins under the Tongue, cuffing it overthwart, and this thou shalt do in the Evening: then the next morning, take a Dose of your Imperial powder mixed with Wine, and this you may do without any Diet, or straigth order: that being done, give him three mornings together, half an ounce of our Quintessence solutive, with Broth: but if it been a Flux, and that the Patent is not cured, let him stand in a cold Bath of Salt water of the Sea, three or four hours or more, and he shall be perfectly holp.  
Than as concerning Wounds, as well as Cuts as thrusts, and as well Galling with Arrows, as Harquebush-shot, and other sorts, thou shalt cure them thus. The first thing that thou shalt do to them is to wash them very clean with Wine, and then dry them well, then put therein our Quintessence of Wine, and presently join the parts together, and sow or stitch them close, than put thereupon five or six drops of our Balsamo, and upon the wound lay a cloth wet in our Magno Licore as hot as ye may suffer it, and this ye shall do the first day: then the next day follow this order. First, put thereon our Quintessence and a little of our Balsamo, and then our Magno Licore very hot, and never change that medicine. And this done, the wound shall be whole with great speed and in a quarter of the time that the common Surgeons is able to do it, by the grace of God.  

A rare secret, the which this Author did send to a very friend of his being in the Wars: the which helpeth all wounds either by Cut, Thrust, galling with Arrows, or Hargubush-shot, or otherwise.  
THe first thing that ye shall do, is to wash the Wounds very clean with Urine, and then dry it very well: then put therein Quintessence of Wine, and presently join the parts close together, and stitch or sow them well; but in any wise sow nothing but the Skin: for otherwise it will cause great pain: Then put thereon five or six drops of our Balsamo, and upon the Wound, lay a cloth wet in our Magno Licore, as hot as they can suffer it, and this do the first day. Then the next day follow this order. First, put thereon our Quintessence and then a little of our Balsamo: and then anoint it very well with our Magno Licore, as hot as it may be suffered: Never changing this Medicine until it be whole.   

Of Wounds in the Head, with fracture of the Bone.  
Wounds at the Head with fracture of the Bone, of the common Physicians and Surgeons, are counted difficile to be healed, because thereunto belongeth great Art or Cunning: For they open the Flesh, and raise the Bone, with many other things, of which I count it superfluous to entreat of, because that many be helped without them. For always when the Physicians or Surgeons do offend the Wound for alteration or corruption, Nature itself will work very well, and heal it without any aid. But with our Medicines they may be helped with much more speed, because they let the alteration, and defendeth them from Putrefaction, and mittigateth the pain. And the order to Cure those kind of wounds are thus. The first thing that is to be done in those Wounds, is to join the parts close together, and dress them upon the wound with our Oleum Benedictum, and upon the Oil lay  wet in our Magno Licore, as hot as you can suffer it: And so with these Remedies thou shalt help them quickly: because our Oleo Benedicto taketh away the pain, and keepeth it from putrefaction and creposueth. Our Magno Licore digesteth, mundifieth, and incarnateth and healeth. And therefore this is the best Medicine that can be used in these wounds. For hereof I have had an infinite of Experiences, the which hath been counted miracles: and therefore I have let the world to understand thereof, that they may help themselves it need shall serve.   

Of Wounds in the Head, where the Bone is not offended.  
Wounds in the Head, where the Bone is not hurt, are not of so much importance, but are easily to be helped: for you shall do nothing, but to keep it from putrefaction, and defend it from inflammation, which are easy to be done, and so Nature will work well with great speed. To keep the wound from putrefaction, you must anoint it round about with our Oleum Philosophorum, Deterebinthina, and Sera. And to keep it from inflammation, you shall wash it with our Quintessence, and upon the wound dress it with our Magno Licore: thus doing, thy cure shall prosper happily, and shall not need to take away any blood, nor yet to keep any diet, nor yet to keep the house, but to go where you think good, without any peril or danger: and this order have I used a long time, as divers of my friends can testify.   

Of Concussions or Bruises, as well in the Head as any other place,  
COncussion or Bruises in the head or any other place of the body, of the ancient Physicians hath been counted dangerous to heal, for they say, that Concussions must be brought to putrefaction, and turned into matter, which opinions I do allow, for by me those Concussions or bruises is very easy to been dissolved without maturation: And that I do with our Oleo Benedicto, and Magno Licore, as much of the one as of the other mixed together, and made very hot as you can suffer it, and then wet  twice a day, and in three or four days at the most they shall be dissolved: and this it doth, because this Remedy assubtiliateth the humours, and openeth the Pores, and draweth forth the matter that is run into the place offended, and so by those means they shall be helped with this remedy: I have cured hundreds, when I was in the wars of Africa, in Anno 1551. when the said City was taken and destroyed by the Camp of Charles the fifth, Emperor.   

Of Wounds in the Neck and the order to be used in curing them.  
Wounds in the neck are very hard so be cured, and long before they heal, and this cometh, because next are all the ligaments of the head, as bones, sinews, veins, flesh, and skin, all instruments that hold the head and the body together, without the which a man cannot live, and therefore those wounds are so perilous to be healed, seeing thereunto runneth so great a quantity of humours, that they will not suffe● the wound to be healed.  
The true way therefore so help those wounds, is to stitch them well in his place, and dress it upon the wound, with clothes wet in Oleum Benedictum one part, and Magno Licore three parts, mixed together, as hot as you can suffer it. And upon the cloth lay the powder of Millefoyle, and this thou shalt do once in 24 hours, and so that shall help them quickly: giving you great charge that you change not your Medicine; For it mundifieth, incarnateth, and healeth the wound without any further help, for I have proved it an infinite and many times.   

Of Wounds in the Arms, and their importances and Medicines.  
Wounds in the Arms are dangerous, for that there also are a great number of Sinews, Cartylagines, Veins, Muscles, and other dangerous things, as it is well seen in wounds in the arms, how that thereunto runneth abundance of Humours, and there cometh alteration. Inflammation, and Impostumation, which hurteth the Patient much. Therefore in this case, I will show thee a rare secret, wherewith th●n shalt help any sort of wound in the Arm, without any alteration, and with a little pain, and the secret is this, Dress the Wound upon the upper parts with our Magno Licore, very warms, without any tenting at all, and this do once a day, and no more, and in no wise change your Medicine; for with this thou mayest help all Wounds in the Arms with great speed, and it is one of the greatest secrets that can be used for the wounds in the arms: and proved by me infinite times.   

Of Wounds in the Legs, and their parts.  
Wounds in the Legs are in a manner of the same quality as those in the arms, because the Legs are of their proper quality and nature, compounded of the like substance that the arms are: that is, in Skin, flesh, Muscles, veins, sinews, and Bones: And these, when they are offended or wounded, are very perilous, because unto them runneth great quantity of humours, and in the Legs are certain places deadly (as men say) as the hinder part of the calf of the Leg, and the middle of the inner part of the thigh, the ankle, and the foot, are all places troublesome and curious to heal when they are wounded, and therefore to heal them according to the manner of the Ancients, it were great trouble to the Chirurgeon: and pity to see the pain of the Patient. Wherefore in any wise use not the Medicines of the Ancients. But when thou hast occasion, join unto the skill of thy Art the use of these Medicines, our Quintessentia, Balsamo, Magno Licore, Oleo di Rasa, Oleo Benedicto, Oleo Philosophorum. Any of these, or such like, which are incorruptible, which by their proper quality assubtiliateth concussions, pierceth to the bottom of the Wounds, keepeth the flesh in his natural Callidity and humidity, preserveth from Putrefaction, and naturally maketh the Flesh to join and grow together, and that in a short space. Therefore consider well, which worketh better Effect, ours; or the Ancients, and use them at thy discretion.   

A Discourse upon old Wounds, which are not yet healed; with their Remedies.  
When that Wounds are ill healed, and that therein cometh Impostumations, and that the part of the wounds be indurated and full of pain, then use this secret of our Invention, which was never yet seen nor heard of the Ancients, nor yet of our time, but of us. When thou findest such a cause, wash the Wound well, and make it clean round about, and then wash it with our Quintessentia Vegetabile, and  it well thorough, for that the said Quintessentia doth open the Pores, and assubtiliateth the matter, and causeth the humour to come forth.  
This being done, anoint it all over with our Magno Licore, and this done, within three days the Patient shall feel great ease, and in short time after he shall be whole. This is one of the most noblest Medicines that can been made: For it takes away the hardness, healeth the Wound, and comforteth the place offended.   

A rare secret to heal Wounds of Gunshot, Arrows, or such like, in the Wars, when haste is required.  
IF thou wilt cure these Wounds, presently join the parts together, and wash it with our Aqua Coelestis, and Oleum Balsamo, of our invention, and lay a Cloth wet in the same thereon.   

To heal a Wound quickly.  
Wash the Wound well with our Aqua Balsamo, and close it up, and thereupon lay the cloth of the Oil Frankincense, and so by this means thou shalt heal any great Wound quickly: For I have proved it infinite times, to my great credit.   

To heal a Wound quickly, that is in danger of any Accidents.  
Wounds in some parts of the Body are very dangerous of Life, and especially where the Sinews or Veins been (cut or pierced) or Veins or Muscles be hurt, or Bones broken, and by an infinite of other particulars, which being open or ill-healed, the Patient may be in danger of life, because the wind entereth in, and causeth pains and inflammation; and therefore to avoid all these aforesaid matters, so that the wound shall have no detriment, use this remedy. First join the parts close together, and put therein our Quintessence, and lay a cloth wet in our Balm, and bind it fast that the air come not in, for it is very hurtful. You shall understand, that these be two of the best experienced Medicines that may be found: because our Quintessence doth assubtiliate the Blood, and taketh it forth, and taketh away the pain. And the Balm doth warm and comfort the place offended. And will not suffer any Matter to run thereinto by any means: for this is most true, as I have proved divers and sundry times, and always have had very good success.   

To stay the flux of Blood in Wounds.  
When there is a flux of Blood in any wound by reason of some vein that is cut, and that the Chirurgeon would stop it, it is necessary, that he put into it our Quintessence, and then so stitch it by very close and hard, and upon the wound strowe the blood of a Man dried, made in powder, and lay upon the wound a cloth wet in our Balm artificially, very warm, and upon that bind the wound very strait with Ligaments, and twice a day wash it with our Quintessentia, and round about it anoint it with our Balm, and also cast thereon our secret powder for wounds, and that do, Morning and Evening every day without opening the wound, and in short time it will remain well, giving you charge that the wounded person do keep no strait Diet, because Nature being weak relaxeth the Veins, and that causeth the flux of blood.   

Another for the same.  
FIrst, stitch the Wound close, than cast thereon man's blood, and bind it somewhat hard, so let it remain four and twenty hours: And when you unbind it, take heed you remove nothing, and cast thereon more dried blood, and anoint it round about with Oleum Philosophorum Deteribinthina and Cera, and bind it again other four and twenty hours, and then bind it gently, and anoint the wound with Oil of Frankincense, and in short time it will be perfectly whole.   

A defence to be laid upon Wounds.  
TAke perfect Aqua Vitae of good Wine, what quantity you will, and put therein Hypericon, Mill-soyle, Viticella, and Bitonie, and then let it stand certain days close stopped, and when ye will uss it, wet a cloth therein, and lay it round about the Wound, and thou shalt have thy intent, to the great satisfaction of the Patient.

TAke common Ashes, that are well burnt and white, and finely seared, one pound, Clay beaten in fine powder half a pound, Earab one ounce: mix all these in an earthen dish on the fire with oil of Roses, in form of a liquid Unguent, and that ye shall lay upon the place grieved, as hot as ye may suffer it, and change it Morning and Evening, and ye shall see it work a marvellous effect. Moreover, when the Pelechie cometh forth of a diseased, let him be folded in the same remedy very hot, and in four and twenty hours ye shall be holp, if ye be first well Purged: for this is a great secret which I have revealed. This word Pelechie, is (as it were certain spots) like those which we call Gods tokens, the which commonly come to those that have the Pestilent Fever.   

To make a maturative Plaster of great virtue. This maturative doth open an Impostume without Instrument or pain: And the order to make it is this.  
TAke the yolk of Eggs, two ounces, white Salt finely ground, one ounce, Hen's ●ung that is liquid and red like Honey, one ounce: Mix all these well together without fire, and when you will bring an Impostume to superation, and break it, lay on this Plaster morning and Evening, a little, and in short time it will draw forth the Impostume, and break it, and heal it without any other help●. Keep this as a secret.

A Note of a certain Spaniard, wounded in the head at Naples.  
There was a certain Spaniard called Samora, of the age of four and thirty years, of complexion Choleric and Sanguine, the which was wounded in the left side of the head, with incision of the Bone. Also ye shall understand, that in Naples the air is most ill for wounds in the Head, by reason that it is so subtle, and for that cause the Doctors did fear the Cure: Nevertheless I dressed him with our Magno Licore, and Balsamo Artificio, keeping the wound as close as was possible, anointing it only upon the wound, and so in fouretéene days he was perfectly whole, to the great wonder of a number of Surgeons in that City.

OF THE BATH OF , in England. PART. V  

The rare Treasure of the English Baths. Written by WILLIAM TURNER, Doctor of Physic. Gathered and set forth for the Benefit and Cure of the Poorer sort of people, who are not able to go to the Physicians, by WILLIAM BREMER, Practitioner in Physic, and Chirurgery. CHAP. I.  
ALthough there be a very excellent and wholesome Bath within the Realm of England, yet for all that, I reckon that there are many in the North parts, which being diseased with sore diseases, would gladly come to the Bath of , if they knew that there were any there whereby they might be helped, and yet know not whether there be any in the Realm or no. Wherefore, seeing that I have writ of the Baths that are in foreign Countries, therefore I thought good to show the virtues of our own Baths: For if they be able to help men's Diseases, what shall men need to go into fare Countries to seek that remedy there which they might have at home.  
The Bath of England in the West Country, in Sommerset-shirs, in a City called in Latin Bathoma, and  in English, of the Baths that are in it. This City of  is fifteen miles from Welles, and fifteen miles from the Noble City of Bristol. The chief matter whereof these Baths in this City have their chief virtue and strength, after my judgement is Brimstone, and of my judgement are divers other, which have examined them as I have done, when I was at the Baths with a certain man diseased of the Gout, I went into them myself with my Patient, and brought forth of the place next unto the Spring, and out of the bottom, flyme, mud, bones, and stones, which altogether smelled evidently of Brimstone, if that a man may judge the matter of the effect, may gather that Brimstone is the only matter in these Baths, or else the chief that beareth rule in them: for they dry up wonderfully, and heal the Gout excellently, and that in a short time, as with divers others, one Miles Somelines, one of my Lord of Sommersets Players can bear witness: which things are no light tokens that Brimstone beareth the chief rule, seeing that neither by smelling nor tasting, a man can feel no other matter or Mines to reign there.  
If there be any thing lightly mingled with the Brimstone which I could not perceive, it must be Copper: for whilst I walked about the Mountains, out of the which the Baths do spring, I found here and there little pieces of Marquesteth and stones, mingled with Copper, but I could by no sense or wit perceive, that the Baths had any notable quality thereof: then seeing that there cannot be found any other Minor or matter, to be the chief ruler in these Baths than Brimstone, we may gather, that these Baths are good for all those diseases, which all learned Physicians write, that all other Baths, whose chief ruler is Brimstone, are good for.  
Aetius writing of natural Baths, wherein Brimstone is either the only Minor, or matter of them, or chief matter thereof, saith thus as followeth hereafter. The Baths of brimstone soften the sinews, suage the pain that a man hath in desiring to go oft unto the stool, and when he cometh, he can either do little or nothing. They scour and cleanse the skin: wherefore they are good for the white Morphew, and black, for the Leprosy, and for all Scabs and scurfs, for old sores and botches, for the falling of humours into the joints, for an hardened Milt, or the Cake in the left side, for an hardened Mother, for all kind of Palsies, for the Sciatica, and for all kind of Itch or itching. But the Baths of Brimstone hurt the Stomach and mar it: thus fare writeth Avicen.  
Agricola in his Books of those things which flow out of the earth, writeth thus of Baths of Brimstone. The Baths of Brimstone do soften the sinews and do heat, they are good therefore for Palsy, for places pulled in too much, or stretched too fare forth: for the shaking or trembling of any member, and they suage ache, and draw out Swelling of the limbs, and drive and scatter them away. They are good therefore for the Gout in the hands, for the Gouts in the feet, and for the Sciatica, and all other diseases in the joints: they suage also the pains in the Liver and Milt, and drive away the swelling of them both: they scour away freckles, and heal Morphews, and Scabs: but they undo and overthrew the Stomach. Then seeing (as I said before) our Baths of , have their virtue of Brimstone, they that are diseased in any of the above named diseases, may go thither, and by the help of Almighty God be healed there.  
When those Baths have of long time been known, even about a thousand years, either the unlearnedness, or the enviousness of the Physicians, which have been in times past, is greatly to be rebuked, because either for lack of learning, knew not the virtues of these Baths, or else for enviousness, would not send the sick folks, whom they could not otherwise heal unto the baths, for all men can tell, very few in times past have been by the advice of the Physicians sent unto the baths, but now in this our light and learned time, after that so many learned Physicians have so greatly commended these baths, I doubt whether the niggardly liberality, or the unnatural unkindness of the rich men of England is more to be dispraised which receiving so many good turns at Almighty God, now after that they know that the baths are so profitable, will not bestow one halfpenny for God's sake upon the bettering and amending of them, that the poor, sick and diseased people that resort thither, might be better and sooner helped when as they are there. There is money enough spent upon Cockfighting, Tennis plays, Parks, Banquet, Pageants, Plays, and serving only for a short time, that pleasure of times, but of private persons which have no need of them, but I have not heard tell that any rich man hath spent upon these notable baths, being so profitable for the whole Commonwealth of England one groat these twenty years.  
He that hath been in Italy and Germany, and had seen how costly and well-favouredly, the baths are trimmed, and appointed there in divers and sundry places, would be ashamed that any stranger which had seen the baths in foreign lands should look upon our Baths, for he would think that the stranger would accuse us Englishmen of three things, of grossness and brutish ignorance, because we cannot trim our Baths no better: of unkindness, because we do so lightly regard so high and excellent gifts of Almighty God: of beastly filthiness, because we make no partition between the men and the women, whilst they are in bathing, but suffer them contrary both unto the law of God and man, to go together like unreasonable beasts, to the destruction both of body and soul of very many.  
If there be any liberal Duke, Earl, Lord, Knight, Esquire, or other gentle, or no gentle honest man, that will bestow any cost upon the bettering and amending of these Baths, I will for my part, because I have no store of other riches, help the matter as forward as I can with my counsel, which is this.  
First and before all other things, my counsel is, that every Bath have an hole in the bottom, by the which, the stopple taken out, the Bath should be cleansed and scoured every four and twenty hours, at the lest once, and that I would advice to be done at eight a clock in the afternoon, that against the morning it might be full of fresh and wholesome water against the time the sick folk come to it in the morning, and so should they be a great deal sooner healed of their old diseases, and in less jeopardy in taking of new, which may easily come unto a man, if he go into a Bath, wherein a sick man, namely if he be sick in a smiting or infective disease, hath continued.  
It were also meet, that every Bath had a Covering about it, or at the least it should be so builded, that in the time of foul weather it might be covered; Notwithstanding I would lest such places should be open, that the Vapours might go out, that they that have ill Heads be hurt with the Vapours which are too much holden in. I think also that it were necessary that certain Lofts should be builded right over some part of the first or principal Bath, that honest women and other which would not gladly be seen in the Baths, might ever have (as often as they need, Fresh water drawn unto them) through an hole, wherewith they may have to bathe themselves in Vessels of wood, made for that purpose: Provided with all foresight, that not one drop of the water which they in the Lofts have occupied, fall in again into the principal Bath, but be conveyed out by some other convenient way.  
For the bringing of this matter surely to pass, it were best that the Lofts should be so builded, that only a Bucket might go down into the hath, saving that little portion (whereby water may be drawn up through, to serve them that are in them, and such a fit place might be devised to draw water through, that it might serve for half a dozen Chambers above, or moe. This were also necessary, that in one of the Baths, should be builded over the hottest place that there is, a little house, after the manner of a Scaffold, very near unto the Water, after such a manner, that the hot Vapour might strike hot upon certain places of man's body; For this manner of reserving of the hot vapours, is much better for some kind of Dropsies or Govets, than the water itself is, therefore these things is not to be forgotten. This were also necessary, that not only certain several bathing places should be appointed for women alone, but also that others should be appointed for such persons severally, as are sick in smiting, infectious, or horrible diseases.  
Furthermore, because Almighty GOD hath shapen and made Herbs, Stones, Gums, Metals, and Medicines, of divers other things, principally for Man. It is to be thought that his Will is, that the same should sometime serve such Creatures of his, as man cannot well want: wherefore as it is well done, that Herbs and Medicines made of divers other things, should be given to the Beasts that serve us: so that I think it were not amiss, if that we made the Baths after they have served man, for whom they were principally made, serve also to help Horses: for performing whereof, I would wish that one or two Baths in some convenient place, might be drawn out from one or two of the hottest Baths, and then would I have so devised, that the Horses that have diseases in the Legs and joints, might stand in the Bath almost unto the belly, and that other that have other diseases, might stand higher in the water: which thing may easily be brought to pass; ●f that two holes be made with stopples, the one higher, and the other lower, that a man may set the Horses as deep or as shallow as he list, the water increasing or decreasing, according to the holding in, or letting out of the water.  
I think verily, that the  of Brimstone within the space of a Month, healeth Splents, Spaniels, and all 〈◊〉 hard lumps, and swell, if they be not very old, 〈◊〉 and Foundling farces, or Fashions, or all such like diseases that are without. If the Horses by the advice of a cunning Horse-leache, have given the in a convenient drink before they come to the Baths, and ordain for them such Emplasters and Powders as are meet for them to use in the Bathing time: but whilst they stand resting themselves out of the , my advice is, that they that have not much money to bestow upon Horseleeches, that they lay in good quantity, the Slyme and Grounds of the Bath, upon the sore places of the Horses, all that time that they are out of the Bath, resting them in the stable, between o●e Bathing time and another. But I would not that the Horse should be exercised in the Bathing time, for that is not my meaning: For I would that a Horse should be as well exercised as a man, and so much more as he is stronger than a Man, except the diseases be in his Feet, and then are they more measurably to be exercised.  
And for the Diet that men should keep at this, Bath of , hereafter ensueth, with divers other necessary Rules needful to be observed of all those that enter the said Bath.   

CHAP. II. Certain Rules to be observed of all them that will enter into any Bath, or drink the water of any .  
THe Counsel of learned and wise Physicians is, that they should not at any time go into any Bath, to seek remedy for any sickness, except it be such a one that almost the learned Physicians despair of the healing of it: if God have smitten you with any disease, before you go to any Bath, for the healing of it, call to your remembrance, ●o 〈◊〉 ●●●en and wherein you have displeased GOD, and if any of your sins come to your remembrance, occupy the same no more, but be earnestly sorry for it, and ask GOD mercy for it, intending and promising by his mercy and grace, never to ●all into the same again. This Counsel is agreeing with that which is written in the 38. Chapter of Ecclesiasticus; in this manner. My Son in the time of thy sickness, fail not (but that thou pray to Almighty GOD) for he will help thee: Leave off all sinning, and show out thy strait Hands, and cleanse thy Heart from all sin, and deal Alms, and then give place to the Physician, and let him come unto thee, as one that God hath sent unto thee. And a little after he doth plainly declare, that Sickness cometh from the punishment of sin, where he saith: He that will sin against his Maker, useth to fall into the hands of the Physician. As Christ in the fift of John doth also mean, when he said unto the blind man he had healed, Go and sin no more, lest worse things chance unto thee. Howbeit, we may judge no man to be a greater sinner than another, because he is oftener sick than common sort be: for God sendeth unto good men oftentimes sickness, not for the sins they have done more than other men, but to keep them in good order, that the flesh rebel not against the spirit. For if that many infirmities had been a sure token that a man were a great sinner, then should T●●othie, which had many infirmities and sicknesses, as Paul writeth, been a very great sinner: but he was not so, therefore that argument is not true.  
But whether Sickness come for to punish sin, or to hold a man in good nature and obedience, all Sickness cometh of God: Wherefore, for whatsoever cause it cometh of, before ye ask any help of any worldly Physician, ye must make your Prayers to Almighty GOD; (as the good King Ezechias did,) and if it be meet for you to be healed, you shall be healed as he was.  
Then after ye have confessed yourself unto Almighty GOD, and to such as ye have offended; in the Name of God Ask counsel of some learned Physician who is sent of God, and not of some selfe-made Idol, who is only of himself: if he can (using all the lawful means commonly w●nt to heal such diseases as ye are sick on) and if ye feel your grief no better, than it shall be high time to go to the Baths as to the shot Anchor.  
Before ye go to the Baths, in any wise ye must go to some learned Physician, and learn of him, by the help of the telling, what Complexion you be of, and what Humour or other thing is the cause of your disease, and there after his Counsel, use such Diet as shall be most fit for your Complexion and sickness. Let no man enter into any bath before his body be purged or cleansed after the advice of some learned Physician, for if any man go into the bath unpurged, he may fortune never come home again: or if he come home again, he cometh home most commonly with worse diseases than he brought to the bath with him.  
Yée may not go into the bath, the first day that you are c●me to it, but you must rest a day or two, and then go into the .  
There is no time of the year that is more fit to go into the most part of all the baths, then are the Months of May and September: but the Spring time is better than any other time is.  
The best time of the day is an hour after the rising of the Sin, or half an hour: but before ye go into the , if your disease will suffer you, ye must walk an hour, or at the least half an hour before you go into the bath  
But you must at no time go into the bath, except ye have been at the stool, either by nature or by 〈◊〉, ye may take a Suppository, or a Glister, and for a gr●●● need Savanorolla suffereth Pits, but he will not suffer that he that is so purged, enter into the bath, for the space of 〈◊〉 hours.  
The same also would at the least every Bather should have a stool once in three days: wherefore if any man be hard of nature, and cannot abide Suppositories and Glisters, he pardoneth the Patient, if he be once purged, or go to the stool once in three days, which thing scarcely any other writer that I have read will do, neither would I counsel to defer the going to stool so long, if there be any means possible to make a man go to the stool, without his great pain.  
If that he be counselled to go twice on a day in the , he must see he go not into it, till seven hours be passed after your dinner, and tarry not so long in it in the afternoon as you did before.  
The common time of tarrying in the bath, is commonly allowed to be an hour, or more or less, according to the nature both of the Bath, as also of the Patient.  
Let no man tarry so long in the Bath that he be faint or weak, but let him come out before that time.  
Yée must always go into the bath with an empty stomach, and as long as you are in it, you must neither eat nor drink saving that for a great need require the contrary.  
Some grant that a weak person may eat a little bread steeped in the juice of Pomegranates, Barberries, or Rilts, or in the Sy●●●s made of the same.  
Some Physicians suffer a man that cannot abide hunger so long, to take ere he go in, two spoonfuls of raisins well washed oftentimes with two parts of water, one of wine, or so much of delayed or hatred wine, as much as 〈◊〉 holden in a spoon, or a few Prunes ●odden and steeped in water 〈◊〉 two spoonfuls of ●rummes of breas, washed oftentimes with water or wine, tempered as I told before or a to●●e put into such water: but let no man drink in the bath except he sw●●● in the bath, or been in danger of founding or else ye must all 〈◊〉 time that ye be in the bath abstain from all 〈◊〉 and drink.  
As long as you 〈◊〉 in the bath, you must 〈◊〉 your head well that you take no cold, for it is very perilous to take cold in the head in the Bath, as divers reasons may be laid to prove the same.  
When you come out of the Bath, see that ye cover yourself well that ye take no cold, and dry off the Water on your bode with warm , and go by and by into a warm bed, and sweat there if you can, and wipe off the sweat diligently, and afterwards sleep, but ye must not drink any thing until dinner time, except ye be very faint: than ye may take a little Sugar-candy, or a few Raisins, or any such thing in a small quantity that will slake thirst: for Galen in the 14 De Methodo medendi, commandeth that a man shall not eat nor drink by and by after the , until he hath slept after his bathing.  
After that ye have sweat and slept enough, and be clearly delivered from the heat that you had in the , and afterwards in the Bed, then may you rest and walk a little, and then go to dinner; for by measurable walking, the vapours and windiness that is come in the Bath is driven away.  
If the Patient cannot walk, then let him be rubbed quickly, and if he can suffer no rubbing, then at some time it were good to take a Suppository, either of root or of a beet, with a little Salt upon it, or a Suppository of Honey, or a Suppository of a Flower deluce, or of salt Bacon, or white Sope.  
After all these things, then shall you go to dinner, but you must neither eat very much good meat, nor any evil meat at all. Wherefore you must rise from the Table with some good appetite, so that you could eat more if you would.  
The meats that are commonly of all Physicians allowed that writ of Diet that belongeth to Baths, are, Bread of one days baking, or two at the most, well leavened, and throughly baked, small Birds, and other birds of the fields and mountains that are of easy digestion, but Waterechanters ye must not touch, Kid's flesh, Veal and Mutton, of a Lamb of a year old, new laid Eggs, Pheasants, Partridges, Capons, Chickens and young Geese. The meats that are forbidden, are salt Beef and Bacon, Pigeons, Quails, Pies, and Pasties, and such like meats, Cherries, and all such fruits, Garlic, Onions, and all hot spices, and all cold meats, as are the most part of Fishes: howbeit, divers may be well allowed, so they be well dressed.  
Milk is not to be allowed much: but if that the Patient be so greedy of it, that in a manner he long for it, then let him take it two hours or thereabout, before he take any other meat, and he must drink after it.  
White wine that is small is allowable, or Wine being delayed with the third or fourth part of sodden water, according to the Complexion of the Patient: Some use to steep bread in strong Wine, when as they can get no other Wine.  
Beware that in no wise ye drink any water, and especially cold water, and so should ye forbear from all things that are presently cold, namely, when ye begin first to eat and drink. Let therefore both your meat and drink be in such temper, that they be not cold but warm, lest when as ye are hot within by your bathing and sweeting, the cold strike suddenly into some principal member and hurt it.  
They that are of a hot Complexion, and of an open nature, and not well fastened together, ought not to tarry so long in the bath, as other aught that are of colder and faster complexion.  
If that any man between meal times be vexed with thirst, he may not drink any thing, saving for a great need he take a little Barley water, or Water sodden with the fourth part of the juice either of sour or mild sweet Pomegranates, with a little Sugar: a man may use for a need, a little Vinegar, with Water and Sugar, if he have no disease in the Sinews, nor in the joints.  
A man that is very weak, or accustomed much to sleep after dinner, an hours and a half after that he is risen from the Table, he may take a reasonable sleep.  
All the time that a man is in them, he must keep himself chast● from all women, and so he must do a month after, after the counsel of divers learned Physicians, and some for the space of forty days, as Pantheus and Aleardus would, namely, if they come out of the Chauldron.  
It were meet that in every four and twenty hours the Bath should be let out, and fresh water received into the pit again, for so shall you sooner be healed, and better abide with less jeopardy, abiding in the Bath.  
It is most meet for them that have any disease in the head, as a Cathaire or Rhemne, coming of moist cause and not very hot. For them that have Palsies, or such like diseases, that they cause a bucket to be holden over their heads, with an hole in it, of the bignesss of a man's little finger, about four foot above their heads, so that by the Reed or Pipe made for the nonce, the water may come down with great might upon the mould of the Head: if they have the Cathaire, and upon the nape of the neck, if the Patient be sick of the Palsy, or any such like disease.  
The clay or grounds of the Bath is better for the Dropsy than is the water alone: it is also good for shrunken swelled, and hard places, and for all old and diseased places, which cannot well be healed with other medicines: The matter is, to lay the grounds upon the place, and to hold the same against the hot Sun, or a warm fire, until it be something ha●d, and then to wash away the foulness of the Clay, with the water of the Bath: this may a man do as oft as he lift. Some Physician's counsel, that between the bathe, when a man is twice bathed upon one day, in the time that the Patient is out of the bath, to use his plastering with the Clay: but if the person be any thing weak, I counsel not to go twice into the Bath, but either once, or else to be content with the plastering of the mud or grounds of the Bath.  
It were good wisdom for them that cannot tarry long at the Baths, either for heat or for cold, to take home with them some of the grounds, and there occupy it as is aforetold.  
There are certain learned men, which reckon that the hot breath or vapour that riseth up from the , is much more mightier than the water of the bath is, and it is true: therefore it beware well that they which have any Dropsy, and especially a Tympany, should sit over such a place of the Bath, that they might receive into the moist diseased place, the vapour of the , either by an hole froole, or by some other such like manner of thing, well devised for that purpose.  
If any poor man by the heat of the dryness of the  cannot sleep enough, let him eat Lettuce, or Purslane, or the feeds of Poppy, called Chesbowle, in some places of England, or let him eat Sugar and Poppy séed together, let this be done at night. He may also if hóe cannot get the aforesaid things, séethe Violet leaves and Mallows, and bathe the utter-most parts with that they are sodden in. These are remedies for poor ●olke that are not able to have a Physician with them to give them counsel: Let the rich use such remedies as their Physicians shall counsel them.  
If any poor man be vexed with any unsufferable thirst, let him take a little Barley and seethe it long, and put a little Sugar unto it: or let him take the juice of Orange, or take a little of it with a little Sugar.  
If any poor man catch the Head ache, let him take a little Wormelade if he can get it, or Coriander Comfits: or if he can get none of these, let him take the white of an Enge, and beat it with Vinegar and Rose water, or with the broth of Violets, or Nightshade, or with any of them, and a little Vinegar, and lay them in a cloth unto the temples of his head, and forehead.  
If any poor man be burned so much, let him take a Glitter made with Mallows, Béetes, and Violet leaves, or let him séethe Prunes with Barley a good while, and Raisins, putting away the stones, and eat of them or let him use Suppositories sometimes, made of roots, either of Béetes, of Flower de-Luce, or of white Soap, or of salt Bacon.  
If any man sweat too much, let him use colder meats than he used before, with Vinegar or Verjuice; and let them also eat Shéepes-féetes, and Calves-féetes, with Verjuice or Vinegar.  
If any man have the burning of his water when he maketh it, let him an hour after he is come out of the , anoint his Kidneys with some cold Ointment, as is Infrigidus Galeni▪ or if you cannot come by that, let him seethe Violet leaves. Poppy-heads, Raisins. Licorice and Mallows together, strain them, and put some Sugar in the broth, and drink of it a draught before Supper.  
If any be troubled with the Rheum which he hath caught in the Bath, let him parch or bri●tle at the fire Nigella Romana and hold it in a cloth to his Nose, and let him set cups or ●oring glasses to his shoulders, without any scorching, and let him drink sodden water with Barley, and with a little Sugar.  
If any man have any appetite to eat, let him use the syrups of Ribles or Barberian, or the syrup of unripe Gra●es; or use Verjuice or Vinegar to provoke appetite in due measure, and now and then if ye can get it, let him take a little Marmalade, or of the syrup of M●●to or Wormwood Roman. (These have I written for poor, folk.) Those that are rich, by the advice of the Physicians, may have other Remedies enough against the forenamed accidents, that chance in the time of their bathing.  
If thou be rid of thy disease by thy bathing, offer unto Christ in thy pure members, such offering of Thanksgiving, as thou mayest spare, and give him hearty thanks, both in word, urinde and deed, and sin no more but walk in all kindness of life and honesty, as fare as thou shalt be able to do, as long as thou shalt live hereafter.  
But if thou be not healed the first time, be patiented, and live virtuously till the next bathing time, and then if it be to the glory of God, and for thee most profitable thou shalt the next bathing time be healed by the grace of God of whom cometh all health both of body and soul.  
Some if they be not healed whilst they be in the bathing, cry out both upon the Bath, which healeth many other of the same Diseases that they are sick of, and of the Physician also that counselled them to go to the Bath, such men must learns, that they must not appoint God a time to heals them by the , and that when as the Bath hath dried up, and washeth up by Sweeting, and subtle through blowing the evil matter of the disease, that it is one day's work or two, to make good humours to occupy the place of such evil humours as have been in them before. Therefore let such be patiented, and for the space of a Month keep the same diet that they képt at the Bath, and if God will they shall have their desire, but not only these, but all others that are heals for a month at the least, the longer the better, must keep the same diet that they kept it the Bath, as touching meat and drink, and if it be possible also from the use of all Women  
When as you go homewards, make but small journeys, and beware of sursetting and of cold, and when you are at home, use measurable Exercise daily, and honest mirth and pastime, with honest company, and be ware of too much study or carefulness.  
Thanks be to God for all his Gifts.    

A Brief Treatise of Vrines, as well of Man's Vrines as of Woman's, to judge by the Colour which betokeneth Health, and which betokeneth Weakness, and also Death. PART. VI  
IT is showed, that in the foreparts of the Body dwelleth Sickness and Health: That is, in the Womb, in the Head, in the Liver, and in the Bladder, in what manner thou mayst know their properties, and thereof thou mayest learn.  
When Bubbles do swim on the top of Urine, they proceed of windy matter included in viscous humidity, and signify ●●wnesse and indigestion in the Head, Belly, Sides, ●eynes, and parts thereabouts, for in these especially, hu●●ours are multiplied and do ascend to make pain in the Head.  
Resident Bubbles doth signify ventosity in the Body, or else a Sickness that hath continued long and will continue, unless remedy be found; but Bubbles not Resident but doth break quickly, signifieth Debility or Weakness.  
Bubbles clea●ing to the Urinal, signifieth the body to be  with evil humours.  
Bubbles doth also signify the Stone in the reins of the Back.  
A Circle which is green of colour of Urine, doth signify wavering 〈◊〉 the H●●●, and 〈…〉 the stomach. This colour in a ●●aver doth 〈…〉 od●●●ing of Choler. And if it continue it will cause an Impostume, the which will engender the Frenzy.  
A black circle in Urine, signifieth Mortification.  
If any filthy matter do appear in the Urine, it cometh from the Lungs and sometimes from the Liver, and it may come from breaking of some Impostume, but for the most part it cometh from the Ulcers of the Bladder or the reins, or from the passages of the Urine, than the urine is troubled in the bottom and stinketh, he hath a pain in his lower parts and especially in the parts aforesaid, when he maketh water, and chief in the end of the yard, and commonly there is with this the Strangury which is hardly to be cured, unless it be in the beginning.  
If it come from the reins, there is pain in the Loins, the Back and the Flank.  
If from the Liver the pain is only in the right side.  
If in the Lungs, the pain ●●●tcom the Brost with a cough and the breath stinketh.  
If from the Bladder, the pain is about the share.  
If a man's urine he white of morning, and red before meat, and white after meat, he is whole: and if it be fat and thick it is not 〈◊〉. And if the Urine be ●●●●ly thick, it is not good to like: and if it be thick as spice, it betokeneth Head ache.  
Urine that is two days red, and at the tenth day white, betokeneth very good health.  
Urine that is fat, white, and mayst, betokeneth the Fever Quartain.  
Urine that is bloody, betokeneth that the Bladder is hurt by some rotting that is within.  
A little Urine all Fleshy, betokeneth of the reins: who pisseth Blood without sickness, he hath ●ome Vein broken in his reins.  
Urine that is ponderous, betokeneth that the bladder is hurt.  
Urine that is bloody in sickness, betokeneth great evil in the Body, and namely in the bladder.  
Urine that falleth by drops, above, as it were great bowls, betokeneth great sickness and long.  
If white gravel doth issue forth with Urine, it doth signify that the Patient hath or shall have the Stone engendered in the Bladder, and there is pain about those parts.  
If the gravel be red, the Stone is engendered in the reins of the Back and Kidneys, and there is great pain in the small of the Back.  
If the gravel be black, it is engendered of a Melancholy Humour.  
Note, that if the gravel go away, and the Patient find no ease, it showeth that the Stone is confirmed. Also know ye, that if the gravel go away, and the pain go away likewise, it signifieth that the Stone is broken and wydeth away.  
women's Urine that is clear and shining in the Urinal like silver, if she cast oft, and if she have no talon to meat, it betokeneth she is with Child.  
women's Urine that is strong and white with stinking, betokeneth sickness in the reins, in her secret Receipts, in her chambers full of evil humours, and of sickness of herself.  
women's Urine that is bloody and clear as water under, betokeneth Headache.  
women's urine that is like to Gold clear and mighty, betokeneth that she hath lust to man.  
women's urine that hath colour of stable cleansing, betokeneth her to have the Fever Quartain, and she to die the third day.  
women's urine that appeareth an colour of Leave, if she be with Child, betokeneth that i● is ●a●d within her.  

Hereafter followeth all the Vrines that betokeneth Death, as well the Urine of Man as of Woman.  
IN a hot Axes, one part red, another black, another green, another blue, betokeneth Death.  
Urine in hot axes, black, and little in quantity, betokeneth Death.  
Urine coloured all over as Lead, betokeneth the prolonging of death.  
Urine that shineth raw and right bright, if the Skin in the bottom shine not, it betokeneth death.  
Urine that in substance having fleeting above (as it were a dark) Sky signifieth death.  
Urine darkly shining, and dark with a black Skin within, betokeneth a prolonging of death.  
Urine that is the colour of water, if it have a dark Sky in an Axes, it betokeneth death.  
Urine that hath dregs in the bottom meddled with blood, it betokeneth death.  
Urine black and thick, and if the sick loath when he goeth to the Privy, and when he speaketh overthwart, or that he understandeth not aright, and these sicknesses goeth not from him, it betokeneth death.    

Hereafter followeth sundry Waters and Medicines, meet for Physic, and Chirurgery, As also Ointments and Plasters. PART. VII.  
A Man may govern himself, at four times in the Year, so that he shall have no need of Letchcraft, as thus: Ver, beginneth the Eight Ideses of March, and endeth the Eight Ideses of May, at what time waxeth the good sweet juice of Sanguine through good meats and drinks, and good savours. Summer doth begin the Eight Ideses of May, and endeth the Eight Ideses of june, at which time beginneth the bitter juice of Choler, then use cold meats, and drinks, and forbear women.  
Autumn Harvest, beginneth the Eight Ideses of june, and endeth the Eight Ideses of November, at which time waxeth Melancholy, then been purged by a Medicine Laxative, and afterward use light and disgestible meats and drinks, such as increase Sanguine,  
Hiemps Winter, beginneth the Eight Ideses of November, and endeth the Eight Ideses of March, at which time waxeth phlegm, through weakness of humours, and corruption of Air, than the pose beginneth to grow, than heat is in the veyn than is pricking in the sides, then use hot meat and drinks, as Pepper, Ginger, and wash not thy head.  
Letchcraft is Chirurgery, to heal man of all manner of sickness, and to kéeps him whole, so fare as craft may. Letchcraft is in two manners, that is both Physic and Chirurgery.  
Letchcraft and Chirurgery each of them hath two parts, viz. Theoric and Practic, Theoric to know and practise to work, the ground of Theoric, Theoric is to know the Elements, and humours that cometh of them, which is for man's health or against it: Letchcraft teaches us causes, effects, and Signs, Signs to know the causes and effects: and therefore I treat of signs, and many signs doth belong to Physic and Chirurgery, as Crisses, Urine, Pounces, Vomits, Siege, and other.  
Chirurgery is in Wounds, Impostumes, and Algebro, and Chirurgery holdeth four parts, viz. wounds and Impostumes, Algebra and Anthonte. Antidotary is the fift: which is a kind of Salves against all kind of Sores that belongeth to Chirurgery: Algebra is broken bones, and bones out of joint: Antidotory of Chirurgery is in Waters, Powders; Oils, Ointments, and Emplasters most principal, some must been repercussive, some Mole●●catiue, some Maturative, some generative, and some Corosive: Anatomy is to know the Body of man, throughout, and all his members, within and without, two members hath every manner of man, viz. principal, and official, and four principal every man hath, viz. Brain, and heart Liver, and stones, the Brains hath the head and neck: the heart hath the Lungs, Breast, and Midriff: the Liver hath the stomach and other members down to the reins, as Guts, Gauls, and the Kelle Vein, and Milt, ●he Milt upon the left side, and the Gaul upon the Liver: the Stones hath Raines, Bladders, and other Privities: and these are the four principal members: Brain, Heart, Liver, and Stones and without Brain, Heart and Liver, no man may live: and without Stones may no man engender three things in the Stones is cause of engendering; He●t, Wind, and Humours: Heat cometh from the Liver, Spirit from the Heart, and Humours from the Brains, that man is made of, if any of these four been faulty, that man may not as he should kindly engender: These six virtues are rooted in the Liver; viz. Attractive, Digestive, Deminsive, Expalsive, Retentive, and a Simulative, that is in the English, drawing, and breaking out, putting, holding, and liking; For first, Nature draweth in that which it needeth to live by, and then all to break it, and then departeth the good from the bad, and holdeth to it the good, and then dealeth the good to all the members of the Body: Official members been those, that have certain Offices in man's body, where ever they been, as the Eye to see, the Ear to hear, the Hand to touch, the Mouth to speak, the Feet to go, and many such other. Also such are called members as branches from the principal to the official, as the Arm, or Leg, that rooteth in the principal and brancheth to the officials: and so Nerves, Arteries, Veins, Ligaments, Cords, Bones, Pannicles, and Gristles, Flesh and Skin to teach them their Office: But Nerves, Veins, and Arteries been most needful for they been Welles and Roo●es of all other Nerves coming from the Brain, and Arteries from the Heart, and Veins from the Liver into all the body: Nerves giveth to the Body feeling, and moving, and Arteirs leaving, and Veins increasing. A Vein hath but one Tunacle and an Artery hath two, in the one runneth blood, and in the other spirits and all beating Veins been Arteries, the which I call Pulses, and all other been simple Veins, and all such members saving Flesh alone are melancholieus, and their nature is sperm, but flesh is Sanguine, and therefore it may been sodered been it never so much cut, but the other said members because their matter is sperm, may never be sodered if they been much cut. And thus much at this time I say of Anatomy.  
And now will I speak of Wounds, which is the second part of Chirurgery, one of these four intentions hath every Chirurgeon. The first is, to contain that, that is evil, loosed: The second is, to lose that, that is evil contained: The third is, to take away that, that is too much: The fourth is, to increase that, that is too little. In these four intents standeth all Chirurgery. The first is in Wounds, the second is Impostumes, the third and fourth Algebra holdeth: Wounds be in many manners Simple, and Compound: Simple in the flesh alone, and compound in seven manners. There the vi●. things that letteth a wound not lightly to heal, viz. Empostumes discrased, hollowness, or bitten by a venomous Beast, and these letteth a Chirurgeon soon to heal a wound, and it a Sinew been cut or pricked, or wound to the Bone, or if the wound been hollow, or else dicrased with a Fever, or bruised, or made by venomous Beasts, then mayest thou not as thou wouldst close up a wound, and if a wound lack all these seven things, than it is simple.  
Medicine is Letchcraft, both Physic and Chirurgery, to help and to keep man's body, as craft and nature may, and every one of them hath first his Theoric, perfectly to know and afterwards his Practic, cunningly to work: the grounds of both his Qualities, Elements, and Humours, and signs most needful both of Urine and Pulses.  

The Nine Tastes.  
Salted, Sharp, and Bitter; Sower, Savory, and Eager: Sweet, Walloweth, and Fatty: Three of them been of Heat, three of Cold, and the last three be of temperature. A cut chaseth, heateth, and fleyeth: Temperature delighteth, Lycorise, A●nis, Ginger, Worm wood, and Sugar: these been Ensamples: a cut raweth, heateth, and fleyeth, and Nature there against ripeth, and twineth, and putteth out: make your Medicine such, that for one putting out, double twining, and foure-riping. Melancholy is dry and cold, sour, and earthly coloured, his Urine is thin and discoloured, his Pulse is strait, and short in digestion, and full stomach, loathsomeness, and sour belching, swelling womb, and sides, heavy dead, and fluggy limbs, and Melancholious Urine cometh of a young wench that faileth her flowers, or have them not as she ought to have. Fleame, cold and moist, white, and weak in colours, his Urine is discoloured and thick, his Pulse is short and broad, raw stomach, and full, loathsome, and unlusty, watery mouth, much spitting, heavy head, and fluggy, and slombry, and cold hands and feet, and namely in the Night: Sanguine is moist, and hot, sweet, and ruddy coloured, always his Body is full of heat, namely in the Veins, and they been swelling, and of face he is ruddy, and in fléepe been seemeth fiery: Medicine for him is blood let upon the Coral or Liver Vein, and simple diet, as Tyson, Water-gruel, and sour bread. Choler is hot, and dry, yellow, green and bitter, his Urine is discoloured, and thin, his Pulse is long and strait, much watch, heavy head-ache, and thirst, bitter mouth, ane dry singing ears, and much gnawing in the Womb, and other while coffiffenesse, and burned Siege, and vomit, both yellow and green, as is that colour.  
Each Humour may cause a Fever or an Impostume, and then the Urine is more coloured and the liquor thinner: and ever as that sickness deals, the Urine waxeth thicker, and the colour lower till it come to Cytrin or subrufe.  
Melancholy causeth a Quartain, and Fleame a Quotidian. Sinec and Causon have ever Continewes, the other three may be so, and other while Interpolate, continue ever holdeth on, and Interpolate resteth other while; continue is with the Veins, and Interpolate is without the Veins, both two ways may been simple and also compound, simple of one matter, and one place, or compound of divers places,  
The Tertians of these Fevers be such, as the same humours been of, and also Urine and Pulse: All saving they been stronger in Fevers and Impostumes than they be without, and therefore their Medicine must been more discreet, but generally Diet thus: Sour bread, and Water gruel, and Tyson, and flayed Fish and Wine, and Almond milke●, and all white meat saving whey, general digestive in Summer, and in hot time as in Orizacia, and general digestive in Winter, and all cold time as Oxcineile: And general expulsive is, desuccarosarum, a cut with Turbit, and Scamony, ana. Scruple two, and general doem●ary is insquiamany, and double-medled with Populions' and fament him with Rose, ana. double Sugar slaketh thirst.   

Signs of Sickness by Egestion.  
IF the meat come from a man in manner as he did eat it, the Stomach is weak, and the Bowels been lubricated, and it is an evil sign.  
If the Egestion look like Earth, it is a sign of death.  
If the Egestion do not stink, it is an evil sign,  
If the Egestion do look like lead, it is an evil sign.  
If the Egestion been black as Ink, it is an evil sign.  
If the Egestion been black, and look like Sheep's trickles, there is abundance of adust Choler, and pain in the Spleen.  
If the Egestion be yell●●●, and no Saffron eaten before, the body is repleaf with Choler and E●●en water.  
If the Egestion have strains of blood, there is impediment in the Liver and the Bowels.  
If the Egestion been bloudish, there is viceration in the 〈◊〉.  
If the Egestion look like shaving of Gut●, beware then of 〈…〉 Flux and ●chiliry of the Body.  
If a man been 〈◊〉 Laxatius it is not good, for in such persons can be no strength but much weakness.  
If a man be costive and cannot have a natural gestion once a day, he cannot be long without Sickness.   

Signs of Life or Death by the Pulses.  
SPigmos is named the Pulses, and there be twelve Pulses the which do take their Original at the Vital spirits: Three of which belong to the Heart, the one is under the left Pap, the other two do lie in the Wrists of the arms directly against the Thumbs.  
The Brain hath respect to seven Pulses, four be principal, and three be Minors, the four principal are thus situate, in the Temples two, and one going under the Bone called the right Furkcle, and the other doth lie in the corner of the right side of the Nose, one of the three Minor Pulses in the corner of the left side of the Nose: And the other two lie upon the Mandibles of the two jaws, the Liver hath respect to the two Pulses which lie upon the Feet.  
By these Pulses, expert Physicians and Chirurgeons by their knocking and clapping, do judge what principal member is diseased or whether the Patient be in danger.  
If any of the principal pulses do not beat truly, keeping an equal course as the minute of a clock, than there is no peril in the Patient so be it they keep a true course; or puise without any pause or stopping; which is to say, if the Pulse give five knocks and cease at the sixth knock: or else seven and pause at eight, or else knock ten and leap over the eleventh, and begin and the twelfth, the Patient is in peril, else not; for it is not in the agility, as t●● swift or tardy beating of the Pulse, but in the pausing of the same contrary to its course, that the Patient is in peril.  
In such causes let the Physician be circumspect, and careful, for Sincopies in the Patient, let him sit upright in his Bed with Pillows, and let one fit at his back to give him drink and let the Patiented smell to Amber gréece or Rose water and Vinegar, or else rub the Pulse with Aqua Vitae.  
Also, when you touch the Pulse, mark under which finger it strikes most strongest, as thus, If the Pulse under the little finger be feeble and weak, and under the rest more weak, it is a token of Death: But contrariwise, if under the little finger strong, and under every finger stronger, it is a good sign.  
Also, if the feel the Pulse under the fore finger until the eleventh stroke and it fail in it is a good sign, but if he beat swift and unorderly an evil.

THis Callowes matter is a certain hot humour, the which nature would discharge herself of, and when that humour is driven forth of nature, it goeth into the lower parts into the end of the Toes, for in that part of the Toes that skin is called Epidarma; is hard, and will not suffer if to pass or exalars, and there many times it engendereth a Tumour in the skin with great hardness, and many times that Tumour doth increase and cause such pain, that it doth not only hinder their going, but hinder them from their sleep in the Night, and this kind of Tumour is called commonly calo, or Corns in English; and I thought it good to call them crest, because they are always growing and is of great importance among Surgeons, for an infinite number of persons are troubled therewith, and therefore I will show thee our secret to help them quickly and with great ease, which secret was never known of any. First ye shall pair them with a sharp Knife unto the bottom, and there ye shall find a certain thing like matter, but if ye find no matter, ye shall pair it until blood doth appear, then touch it with the Oil of Sulphur, and then dress it without Balsamo Artificiato, once a day until it be whole, Képe this as a secret.

A necessary and brief Relation of the Contagious disease of the Pestilence, with the Causes, Signs, and Cures of the same. By W. BORASTON of Salop, Practitioner in Physic and Chirurgery. PART. XII.  

Wherein is showed the Causes with most certain Preservatives against the Infection thereof.  
THis contagious Sickness called the Pestilence, is no other thing then a pressure, Contagion and Whip, which GOD out of his indignation useth to chastise men for their Transgressions, as it is written in the 28 of Deut. saying; If thou wilt not obey the voice of the Lord thy GOD, and keep and do his Commandments; the Lord shall make the Pestilence to cleave unto thee. For God the Creator of all things is the chief and principal mover of all things created, and useth them as secondary means to execute Punishment against the offenders. So that the Pestilence is either Supernatural, and immediately cometh from God to Man: or Natural, as when God punisheth Man, he performeth it by his Creatures.  
Also the Pestilence supernatural, is to be understood two manner of ways, that is to say; either when God doth it wholly from himself, or else permissively he suffereth Satan to punish Man, for the reasons aforesaid: He being the most cruel Enemy both of God and Man, who grieveth and repineth at man's felicity, and enviously seeketh to extirpate and root out all Mankind. Even as the History of Job testifieth. So that his power is also twofold, viz. He either doth this office of himself, or else by Enchanters or Witches, (Exodus. 7, Chap. and 8,) of whom Christ spoke, Act. 8. Math. 7.  
The Pestilence natural, is also taken two manner of ways: Then one generated from an astral Impression, the other, from the Microcosmus or little world's Imagination. The Pestilence of Impression, proceedeth from the Firmament of Heaven, when God punisheth man by second causes, he useth the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars, and other Stars, and Eclipses for correction; even as a Father chastifeth his Child with the rod. The arsenical Sulphurous, Antimonial, Napellosous, and Cicutosous beams of the Stars, infects the nutriment both Spiritual and Corporal. This is the generation of Pestilence, proceeding from the influence astral.  
Lastly, Paracelsus in his Book De occulta Phylosophia, saith; That of Imagination springeth the Pestilence, as is there instanced between two Brothers.  
Also it is reported, that a man having the Heme●hodes and the Pestilence together, aspecting another being found, infecteth him also; yea, very many much more, by the intuition and earnest beholding of women, Que simul Menstruorum & Peste laborant. Moreover, by the breath, heat, sweat, smell, habitation, and garments from the Sick, the Pestilence is propogated, and creepeth from one house unto another, and infecteth the Inhabitants thereof, so that i● proceedeth of an invisible essence, Spiritual and astral or not of any humour or Liquor only.   

Presages and Judgements, taken from the Superior bodies, and Constellations of the Heavens.  
AMongst all other bodies Celestial, there are two, called evil and malicious, which are Saturn and Mars, as aforesaid; by whose bad influence manifold infirmities, especially of the Pestilence ariseth: For Saturn through Cold, causeth Rheums, Elephantia, etc. Mars by reason of Heat, bringeth forth Fevers Pestilential, spitting of Blood, Pleurisies and such like. Consider well, the entering of the Sun into Aries, by true Equation of the houses and Planets, for that influence hath more domination, then have all other influences of the whole year beside, (except the superior Conjunctions of the Planets, or some great Eclipses.) And this entering of the Sun into Aries, passeth all enterings of the Sun into any other sign. Therefore, consider how the Lord of the sixth house in the figure disposed, for he is the Lord of the Sickness viz. You must consider, whether he be impedite or no. And if he be impedite, there shall be many Sicknesses according to his nature and his house, that is the sixth house.  
As for example, be it in case that Saturn is Lord of the sixth house, and some Earthy sign is in the same house, the● most commonly the sickness of that year, shall be of like nature, that is cold and dry. And over this you must consider, whether the Lord of the sixth house hath any aspect with the Lord of the house of Death; to him, then most commonly the end of those sicknesses that are cold and dry, shall be death.  
And likewise, as it is declared of the entering of the Sun into Aries. So must it be said of the conjunction of the Sun and Moon through all the year, marking every nature of the Planet being in the sixth house. If there be any, and the aspects to those two houses aforesaid▪  
Also consider, whether this entering of the Sun into Aries or any of the conjunctions of the Luminaries, be in the eight house or no, for than it shall be much worse. Note also, that if the Eclipse of the Sun or Moon be in any Angles of the Nativity of any person, or in any of the Angles of the revolusion of his Nativity, than he shall suffer sickness according to the nature of the same Angles. And if the Eclipse be in Medio C●●li, he shall suffer hurt in his honour and fame. And if it be in the Ascendent, he shall be grieved in his body, and so forth of the other houses. But it shall be the worse in case the Eclipse be in the ascendent, especially if it be the Eclipse of the Sun, for that is the more dangerous of the two. For as much as the effect of the Eclipses of the Moon is always finished in the space of one year at the most, sometime in less, and for the most part in three months. But the effects of the Eclipse of the Sun is very long or it come to pass. Sometimes twelve years, as Ptolemy in his Centiloquio witnesseth.  
The Astrologians take the judgement of the year, by the entering of the Sun into Aries in the first minute. And if it then happen, that all the ill Planets be in the eight house, which is the house of Death, they say; that year shall arise a Pestilence and divers other sicknesses, according to the nature and conditions of those Planets. And if the Moon in the same entering, be near unto the conjunction of the Sun, that is to say, within two, or three, or four degrees: That year shall be a death of Pestilence Universal, and that shortly after that Conjunction; especially at the coming of the Moon and evil Planets to infortunes: and as the infortunes be, the effects shall so appear, be they more or less.  
Furthermore, you must consider the great conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, in the 13 degree of Scorpio, as it was in the year 1625, in the last of August, which conjunction changed from an Airy triplicity into a watery, and it was in a watery Sign, whereof there chanced very much rain, and thereupon followed excessive humectation and moistening of man's body, which by and by turned to putrefaction, and thereupon ensued many perilous and corrupt Fevers, Pestilence and Agues, as Philerus and many others have related, specially because the conjunction of Saturn was exalted in the North above Jupiter, which Saturn is of ill influence.   

Furthermore, there are assigned seven Prognostics, presages, or signs of the Pestilence, more common and usually observed, as hereafter follow: viz.  
FIrst, when in a Summer day, the Wether is often changed, as in the morning like to rain, and after standeth still cloudy, and at last, the wind turneth into the South.  
The second is, when often in the time of Summer, the days showeth wholly obscured, as if it would Rain and yet not rain, and then if it do so continue long, it is to be feared a great Pestilence will after ensue.  
The third Sign is, when there are many Flies upon the Earth, for this signifieth that the air may be venomous and infected.  
The fourth Sign is, when the Stars do see me often to fall, for it is a token that the air is corrupted by many venomous vapours, which ascendeth.  
The fift sign is, when Comets do seem to flies in the air as it appeareth in Meteors, and that those happeneth, when the Comet appeareth, it signifieth Bloodshed, Wars, etc. Vnde versus. 
Mors furit, urbs rapitur, Sevit mare, Sol operitur.  
Regnum mutatur plebs pefte fame ●ruciatur.   
The sixth sign is, when many Thunders and Lightnings happeneth, and especially from the South part.  
The seaventh is, when many Winds proceedeth from the South part, for they be foul and unclean: when these signs appear, a great Pestilence is much to be feared, except our Lord Omnipotent avert it.   

Means to prevent Infection, the Causes and Prognostics, being already declared.  
NOw shall it be directed, by what means every man ought to preserve himself from this infection. And according to the speech of David saying, that a man ought Diverte●e a malo, ad bonum, to turn from evil and do good. And most humbly, Peecata sui confiteri, to confess his sins; for in the time of Pestilence, Penitency and Confession are to be preferred before all other Medicaments, and withal to change the place for a more air. But if it cannot be done conveniently, in as much as possible may be, let all causes of corruption be evitated and avoided, and consequently Venery. Also the Wind proceeding from the Meridian or South point, is contagious and infective naturally: Therefore in the time of the Pestilence, the Windows on the same side the house ought to be shut until one of the clock in the afternoon, and let the Windows been open towards the North-part. For the same cause, let there been no evil scents or smells, as from Stables, streets, and fields, where dead carcases corrupted and putrified may annoy you, and chief putrified Waters, as from sinks and houses of Office, for Paracelsus saith; Omne putrifactum mere est venenum. And most commonly we find they die in greatest number, where the air is corrupted with those annoyances; For Sicut per odorem, aromaticam cor & spus recreantur, ita ex nocivo fetore debilitantur. Therefore the house is to be kept, that no infective air enter therein, especially that which is humid and moist, which naturally causeth putrefaction in the house or places where one sleepeth: For prevention thereof, the same house or places ought to be ayred with fires, of Wood, yielding clear flame, and withal to fumigate the rooms with these Herbs and seeds subscribed, Bayberries, I●niper, Vbery, Organy, Wormwood, Isope, Rue, Mugwort, and of Lignum Al●es, let these fumes be inspired and taken at the mouth and Nostrils, so that it may penetrate into the inferior and inward parts.  
Let all Superfluity and overmuch repletions be refrained, for Avicen in 4 Canonis, saith; Illi qui repletionem semper curant p●riodum & finem vitae suae abreviam.  
Likewise, the common Bath is to be avoided; for Modicum fermentum totam massam corrumpi●. Finally, communities and concourses of people are also to be left off, as much as possible may be; lest the breath of the infected be received. But in case they cannot be shunned, let these Remedies been used which hereafter follow.   

The first Preservative.  
When one ariseth in the Morning, by and by let him eat a little Rue, washed in clean water, and sprinkled with Salt, with one or two Walnuts well cleansed. If that can not be had, let him eat some Bread or a toast intin●ted with Vinegar, especially in a Turbid or cloudy day. Also in the time of Pestilence, it is better to stay within doors, then to go abroad into any Town or City, and let the house especially in the Summer, be sprinkled with Vinegar, Roses, and Vine leaves; also it shall be good oftentimes in the day, to wash the hands with water and Vinegar, and afterward to cleanse the face, and to sm●ll unto the hands washed, as aforesaid. It shall be also a wholesome course as well in Summer as Winter to smell unto sour things. And for those that are visitors of the sick, to take a sponge or piece of bread steeped in Vinegar, and to hold to the Nose or Mouth; for all Acetosus and sour things do so close the powers, and passages of the humours, that no venomous air can enter therein, as by experience I have often found. Also if you take Rue, Wormwood, Sage, Marigolde, of each three handfuls, infuse them wholly in a gallon of Ale newly ●●●●ed up, and passed it close that no air breath out, and after that is ●●●●ed for 12 hours, take six or seven spoonfuls thereof mixed with the best Venice Tr●●●e in quantity of a Bean, and moderately walk thereon, and do thus every Morning before you go forth of your house, as long as the Sickness continueth, and renew your Drink as occasion requireth to prevent the impression of the contagions air.   

Another Preservative.  
TAke Aloes clean washed in Rose-water half an ounce, of good Myrrh, of Saffron, of each two drains, of  prepared one scruple, of Séed-pearle one scruple, of the syrup of Lemons as much as will make it in form of paste made in Pills, and take thereof every Morning the weight of a groat, fasting; and within one hour after, to take a little thin Broth, Ale berry, or white Wine, and fast thereon three hours after, and then to use your accustomed diet.   

Another.  
But if the body be very costive and distempered therewith, th●n may ye use these Pills in quantity as aforesaid; Every morning for four of five days together if need require, and prepared as thus: Take of Rheubarbe, Myrrh, of each one dram, Aloes two drams, Zeadorie root, Saffron, of each one scruple, syrup of Roses solutive, as much as will suffice to make it in form of Pills, and to take them in manner as afore directed.   

Another Preservative.  
TAke of Mithridate, conserve of Roses, of each half all ounce, Bowl Armoniac prepared two drams, mix them together, and take thereof as much as a Nut at once, and fast thereon two or three hours after.  
Or else you may take of Treacle of Andromachus, and of Mithridate, of either two drams, of conserve of Roses, three drams, Bole Armoniac prepared two scruples, of the seeds or roots of Angelica two scruples, of the seeds of Citrons half a dram, of the syrup of Lemons, half an ounce, mix all together, and take thereof the quantity of a hassel nut, in the morning or at any time of the day, else (if you go into any throng of people) and fast a while after it.  
There are also many other preservatives more costly, yet far more powerful in their effects, which may be had at the hands of the Chemists, as Potus Pestilentialis Paracelsus, whereof one dram being taken in the morning fasting, and to sweat thereon, is a preservative for the Pestilence for six days.  
The second preservative is, Sulphur sublimed with Myrrh and Aloes, half a dram with Sugar thereof being taken in the morning, preserveth a man all that day from all astral impression.  
The third preservative is, Zenechthon Paracelsi, which being hanged about the neck, hindereth the attractive power of the Microcosmus, or little World, which is Man.  
The fourth, against the intuition or venomous aspects of women, and men as aforesaid. Is Chelidonia gathered in the full of the Moon, and carried about one.  
The fift, for them which are visitors of the sick, let them hold in their mouth Frankincense, and withal let the infected at the same instant hold also in their mouth of the roots of Imperitoria.  
The sixth, is the essence of Hearts and Storks blood.  
The seaventh which is most potent and powerful, is Alexipharmacum Spagiricum, whereof being taken in a morning, the quantity of a Bean or less, with Sugar or in any other convenient liquor, hath a marvellous effect.  
Also for correction of the air, R. Sulphuris lib. ss. Thuris zi. ss. Assa fetidae z. ss. Pulverizantur & misceantur.  
To this Powder add a double quantity of the Cortex or shells of Bayberries, of white Amber half a quart. Take of this Powder two drams, and cast it upon coals, and make a perfume thereof daily twice or thrice.  
For want of this Powder you may take the wood of juniper, and use it in like manner, but it is nothing so good as the powder.   

Rules to be observed in Common Communities.  
Such things as do rarify and subtle the spirit inferior, are Saffron, Cassia, Fistula, Planten, with mirth in measure, these do specially serve in common communities, and Companies, where quickly one is infected of another. The eyes are obscured and darkened by an infective air, if a man carry not the foresaid things or such like in his hand. Therefore it shall be a safe course to wash the eyes, mouth and hands oftentimes in the day, with Rose water mixed with Vinegar as aforesaid, but if both cannot be had, let Vinegar alone be used. This being observed, thou mayst with more security enter into any company.  
To keep the body soluble is thought to be an effectual remedy, if it be not laxative naturally, let it be provoked artificially by suppositors, for which purpose also serveth the Pillulae Pestilentiales which may be had at the Apothecaries. Let there be also fire made in the house, because it much hindereth Celestial impression, and clarifieth the air.  
To take Treacle is also profitable and good, as well for the sick as whole. I mean the right Venice Treacle, or Treacle of Andromachus (or jeane-treacle) if it be administered twice in a day with pure and clear Wine, Beer, or Rose water, in quantity of a small Beane or Pease at each time, mixed with two spoonfuls of any of the foresaid Liquors: Let Dinner been deferred until Midday, whereby the Treacle, may have its operation in the body. Then choose a good mess of meat with pure Wine, drink is to be taken oft in the day, but not much at once, because, Nimia Superabundantia putrifactionem humorum inducit.  
Beware of all hot things in meats, as Pepper and Garlic; for although Pepper purgeth the brain of Phlegm, and likewise of Spiritual Members from Viscous and clammy humours, yet it heateth overmuch, and Calefaction and heat causeth Putrefaction.  
Bitterness is more wholesome than hot Odours or Savours: Garlic, although it purgeth also Phlegm and casteth forth evil humours, provoketh appetite to Meat, and permitteth not any dry air to enter; because it perturbateth and vexeth the eyes, and heateth the Head of every one which often useth the same; therefore it cannot prove agreeable: For the Pestilence through the use of hot things is oftentimes augmented and increased. All kind of meats by so much easy they are of digestion, so much better they are. In the morning boiled meats are more to be commended, but in the evening roasted. Broths and Pulps are to be eschewed, except they have some pleasant sourness; for sour meats in time of Pestilence serveth to all Medicines. In like manner all fruits must be refrained, except those of a sour taste, as Cherries, Pomgranuts, or little quantity of a Pear or Apple in place of Medicine, for most fruits commonly induceth putrefaction. As for Spices which are commonly used, and convenient, are Ginger, Cinnamon, Cumin, Mace and Saffron, with these are made sauces for the richer sort. The poorer folks may eat Rue, Sage, Walnuts, Parsley minced and mixed together with Vinegar. These do hinder putrefaction.  
Likewise, beware ye dread not death overmuch, but think well to live: For he that dreads overmuch, shall imagine he feels pricking and moving thereof at the cleansing places in his own conceit, when he feels nothing.  
Having set down sundry means for prevention. It shall be convenient to speak of some signs and tokens, whereby a man may judge whether he be infected with the Pestilence or no, and they are these that follow.  
THe first, is great pain and heaviness in the Head.  
The second, when the body is inwardly affected with heat, and the outward parts cold and ready to shake, and is thirsty and dry withal.  
The third is, difficulty of breathing, and that with pain.  
The fourth sign is, he hath a great desire to sleep and can hardly refrain it: Sometime want of sleep and cannot obtain it.  
The fift is, pain and swelling in the stomach, breaking forthwith stinking Sweats.  
The sixth sign is, divers, and heavy looks of the Eyes, seeing all things of one colour; as green, or yellow, and the colour of the eyes are also changed,  
The seaventh sign is, loss of appetite, unsavoury taste, bitterness of the mouth, sour and stinking.  
The eight is, wambling of the stomach, and a desire to vomit, and sometime vomiting humours bitter & of divers colours.  
The ninth is, the Pulse beateth swift and deep.  
The tenth is, heaviness and dulness in all the body, and faint, and weak limbs.  
The eleaventh is, the Urine most commonly is troubled, thick like Beasts water, and stinketh, but smell it not if you love your health; but oftentimes the water doth not show at all, especially in the beginning of the sickness.  
The twelfth and last sign and surest of all other is, there ariseth in the Neck, under the Arm, or in the flank a tumour or swelling, or in some other part of the body, there appeareth a red, gréenish, or blackish coloured sore: This is an apparent sign of infection with the Pestilence.  
Assoon as by the signs and tokens aforesaid, if any one perceiveth himself to be infected with the venomous quality of the Pestilence, let him take of the foresaid Potus Pestilentialis Paracelli, in quantity agreeable unto the age of the Patient, that is to say; If he be above Fourteen, he may take there of at a time, half an ounce or a good spoonful; But if he be of younger years, two drams, or more or less according to the condition and respect of the Patient, and let him be well covered in his bed with , and sweat thereon for four or 5 hours after. Within six hours after that, let him take the like doss, and again let him sweat. After six hours are past, let him take the third doss; especially, if the Patient feeleth and perceiveth any punctions or prickings remaining: For which the third doss (God willing) all the venom will be expelled and driven forth.  
For three days following (the venom expulsed,) every morning the Patient shall take one doss of the said liquor or drink, whereby nature may be corroborated and comforted. Alexipharmacum Spagiricum will perform the same, of which you may give unto them that are above Fourtéen years one dram, but unto them that are younger half a dram, and that thrice in four and twenty hours' space. And for three days one doss every Morning in Wine, Rose-vinegar, or other appropriate waters.  
And when the Apostumation of the Pestilence cometh forth, a Cataplasm of Figs, and the fruit of Alkakengie, of each a like quantity bruised together, shall be applied thereon, and it will break it presently; For Venenum, venenum attrahi●.  
And this you must remember, that if the Botch arise near unto the heart before you sweat, that then you apply this defensative unto the heart upon a fine linen  thinly spread, as broad as will cover the heart, which Medicine is thus prepared.  
Take of good Treacle of Andromachus, half a dram, red Sanders, of Terra lemnia, half a scruple, Rose-water and of Vinegar, of each as much as will suffice to make an Unguent, and let it be applied as above directed.  
When the Apostume first appeareth, you may (if you please) take Walnuts, or Filberdnuts, Figs and Rue beaten together, and apply it thereto.  
Also, when the said Apostume breaketh and the venom penetrateth. the heart, whose sign is perceived by the line from the Centre or midst point of the Apostume leading to the heart: Bruise then some of the green plant called Vua inversa, or Leopard's bane, and apply thereto; but if it cannot be gotten green but withered, then macerate it in Wine or Vinegar, and apply it after the same sort, and let it be repeated twice or thrice over: for this doth extract and draw out the venom mightily, the Patient being in an agony; and do revoke and call him back as from the Grave, and driveth many into admiration thereof.   

Against the Symptoms of the Pestilence.  
IN Constipations and Costivenesse of the belly, the Patient may use some Purgative Medicine; except it be at such time when the Botch or Carbuncle appeareth, or any other Sores of the Pestilence growing towards ripeness, for if it be done, than it will contrary to nature prove her intention.  
But the second day after Sweeting, if no Botch or sore appeareth, then may he use either Sena or Rhewbarb, or the extract of either. They that have any of the Fluxes of the bowels, called Diarthea, or Disenteria, joined with the Pestilence, morning, Noon and at night, they may take half a scruple of Crocus Martis, in the extract of Acorus Luteus, to the full effecting of the cure. They that are vexed with burning heats, let them dip linen  in Rosewater vitriol, and with the juice of Semper vive, and apply to the pulses, & when the same  are dried, let them be wet again in the same liquor and applied in like manner.  
And if the Patient be very dry and thirsty, give him of this Iulip three or four spoonfuls at once, viz. Take of Rosewater, of the waters of Endive, Buglasse, Sorrell, sharp Vinegar, and of the juice of Lemons of each four ounces, of Sugar one pound, boil them a little with a gentle fire, and when it is cold, give thereof to drink three or 4 spoonfuls at once. Or else, take of the waters of Roses and of Buglasse, of each three ounces, of the Syrup of Endive and Lemons, of each two ounces, of the Oil of Vitriol one scruple, mix them, and take them as aforesaid. If the Patient cannot sleep, if after vomiting Bozoardicks, and other means fit to evacuate gross humours, a man may give the Patiented Laudanum Paracelsi, three grains thereof in Cardus Benedictus water, or for want thereof the Temples of the Patient may be anointed with this Ointment. Take of Vnguentum Populionis, of Vnguentum Rosarum, of Vnguentum Alabastrinum, of each half an ounce, of the Oils of Violets and of water Lilies, of either two drams, of Opinm one scruple or two, first dissolved in Rose water, and then together mixed; anointing the Temples therewith, will both cause sleep and stay raging. Or if you will you may use this.  
Take of the syrup of Violets, of the Syrup of Lemons, of the syrup of Poppy, of each one ounce, of Diascordium three drams, let them be mingled together, and give thereof sometime to the Patient to drink for the foresaid purposes.  
If through the heat of the stomach, the Mouth, Throat and Tongue be hot, dry and fu●rod. Take French Barley, Sinckfoyle, Violet and Strawberry leaves of each one handful, of Woodbine and Columbine leaves, half an handful: Boil all these in a quart of fair water, and to the same Liquor strained out put, thereto of Diamor●●● and of Mel rosarum, of either two ounces, of the Oil of Sulphur as much as will a little sharpen it, and let the Patient with some of the same liquor warmed, gargarize and wash his Mouth, Tongue and Throat.   

Of Fleubotomie.  
FLeubotomie may be used once in a month, exceptage or any other cause prohibit it, as in women with Child, or on them that are brought low by sickness, or on them that are subject to any flux of the Belly, or on them which are already infected with the Pestilence, and the Botch or Sore groweth towards ripeness.  
Let Blood-letting be done upon the vein Basilica, whether it be in the right or left Arm, before he eat or drink, and after the opening of the same let the Patient be jocund, merry, and cheerful, and to drink Wine or Beer, but always temperately. Neither is it lawful nor convenient to sleep the same day that the Vein is opened, if any feeleth himself infected with an Impostume, then let him altogether refrain sleep and prevent it by walking, for in sleep, heat inwardly induceth the Venom unto the Heart, and other Spiritual Members, in such sort, that scarce any Herb may revoke the same venom unto its former estate, which thing happeneth not, as long as a man is in motion.  
But it may been some men will ask, of whom is sleep to be avoided? What if he should have a continual sleep? To this I briefly answer, that in the time of Pestilence, if any have an appetite to sleep presently after he have eaten any thing, than such desires aught to be vindered for a space, either in the Garden or Fields for an hour, and then with natural sleep the body may have for one hour its natural refection and rest.  
Therefore Avicen saith; That if a man will sleep, he ought to drink a good draught before his sleeping, because in sleep he attracteth and draweth many humours, and those evil humours are repelled by the humour of a good draught: But again, if a man shall ask, when a man is Infected how he ought to know it. To this I say and answer, that a man that is infected, the same day he shall not eat much; because he is  with evil humours, and presently after Dinner he hath a desire to sleep, and perceiveth a great heat with coldness, he hath great pain with coldness, and hath great pain in the former part of the head, but all these are put away by moving hither and thither, and for to walk he is not able by reason of overmuch unwieldiness and sluggishness of body, for a man infected hath always a desire to sleep, because the venom internal doth perturbate and trouble the spirits vital, so that it always tendeth to rest, by these sinnes and all others before related, a man may always perceive himself to be infected. If he will not give credit unto it, let him make trial for half a day's space, and presently he shall feel the Apostume under his Arms or about the groin, or else about the Ears. Therefore the chiefest remedy is, if a man perceive all these tokens in the time of Pestilence, that he shake off sleep as I have said before, for as by the reasons before also alleged it is manifest, that in sleep the Spirits vital doth rest, but the venom is scattered, through the membrands from one place unto another, as I have often observed. This being truly marked, when a man findeth himself infected, as soon as possible may be, let him let blood in as ample manner that he almost faint thereon; for the taking of small quantity of blood stirreth up the venomous quality more forcibly. If a man will not cut many veins at once, than he shall suffer to go over the same vein incided as before said, even unto the retardation and staying of the Blood.  
Also he that is let blood, whether he be infected or not, he must also shun sleep the whole day even till midnight. And always in the same part of the body that the Apostume shall appear, shall be made the incision of a vein.   

As for Example.  
If the Apostume shall appear under the right Arm, Phlebotomy shall be made in the middle part of the same Arm, from the vein Mediana; but if under the left arm the Apostume showeth itself, then must you open the Mediana, as aforesaid, in the same Arm, or the Hepatica, that is to say; in the vein about the middle finger. If the Impostume be about the Groin, let a vein be opened in the Foot, about the he'll on the same side. If the Apostume be in the Neck, Phlebotomize the Cophalica, about the Thumb in the hand of the same side, or the Mediana of the same Arm, or in the hand on the same side about the lesser finger. If it shall appear about the the Ear, incide the Cophalica on the same side, or the vein which is between the forefinger and the thumb, lest many venomous vapours invade the brain. Or the vein which is about the lesser finger, or about the Article, which of Physicians is called Basilica. If the tumour shall appear about the shoulder blades, heart and Throat: Use scarifications with applicaton of Ven●osits; And first let blood on the Median. If the Apostume appear on the back, open the vein called Pedia Magna. And all these may be let blood, if a man have not slept before the knowledge of the Apostumation: But if he feel such Apostumations after sleeping, then bleeding aught to be made on the contrary part, as if the Apostume appeared in the right arm, the Basilica or Liver vein; or Mediana in the left arm, shall be opened.  
And if the Apostume showeth under the right arm, let it be as it is spoken of the left arm, and so of other places in which the Apostumation appeareth, and whensoever blood-letting is to be used, let it be always done in opposite manner: And if he that have been let blood be very weak, then may he sleep after the midst of the day, and before the midst of the day, he ought to be in continual motion, either riding or moderately walking.  
And if afterward, the Botch increaseth fear not: For it is a token, that nature putteth out the venomous quality, and restoreth a man to soundness, then may you apply such remedies thereto as is above mentioned.  
And if any there be, that shall receive benefit and recovery by these directions; First let him thank God that hath created Medicine of the Earth to heal his people: and secondly, pray for me a sinner, the writer of this little Treatise, for to that intent I took the pains.    

A Medicine for the Plague, or for sickness of the Soul.  
TAke a quart of Repentance of Ninevie, and put thereto both your handfuls of fervent Faith in Christ's Blood, with as much Hope and Charity, of the purest you can get in God's shop; a little quantity of each, and put it into the vessel of a clear Conscience, and let it boil well in the fire of Love, so long till thou seest (by the Eye of Faith) the black foam of the love of this World stink in thy stomach: then skim it clean with the spoon of faithful Prayers: that done, put in the powder of Patience, and take the Immaculate cloth of CHRIST'S pure Innocence, and strain all together through it, into Christ's Cup: then drink it burning hot betimes next thy Heart: this done, rest from the beastly Conversation used in times past, upon the Bed of Christ's pure Innocency, and cover thee warm, with as many clothes of Amendment of life; as God shall strengthen thee to bear, that thou mayst sweat out all the vile poison of Covetousness, Idolatry, and the participation thereof, with all kind of Whoredom, beggarly Pride, Oppression, Extortion, Usury, Prodigality, Swearing, Lying, and Slandering, Envying, Wrath, Sedition, Sects, Theft, Murder, Drunkenness, Gluttony, Sloth, with such like, sweat clean out of thy Heart, thy Head, thy Bones, and thy Body: with all the other powers or parts of thee: and ever wash thy Heart, and Eyes, with pure Humility, mixed with the Fear of God, and lay the sweet Camon-ill of good Conversation hard to thy Nose, lest then shouldst smell more than thine own. And when thou feelest thyself altered from all those afore-named vices, take the powder of Say well, and lay it upon the top of thy Tongue, to savour thy mouth withal, and the Ears of the hearer: but drink thrice as much Do well daily: And then take the Oil of Good works, mixed with the same Mercy that God hath willed us to use, and anoint therewith thine Eyes, thine Ears, and thy Lips, thine heart, and thy Hands throughly: that they may be light, nimble, qui●k and ready, to minister unto the poor, and dispersed members of jesus Christ, ever as you are able, and see occasion, but beware thou takest not Wind in the ministering thereof, least deadly dust of Vain glory, and Hypocrisy, do thee much harm, and to keep a diet for thy Heads sake, use the hot Broth of Holiness; and Righteousness continually, and feed thyself well, with the spoon of godly Meditations in Gods holy Word; then anoint thyself with the Oil of God's peace; this done arise from Sin willingly, and take up Christ's Cross boldly, bear it thankfully, and walk the course worthily, and thou shalt live everlastingly, etc.  

A Prayer.  
O Eternal God, and most sure comfort and consolation in all Afflictions, which healest the sick Souls oppressed with Sin, which ministrest merciful Medicines to the repentant Heart, and dost refresh the sinful sinners, that thirst after thy precious goodness, most humbly we beseech thee have respect to our deadly diseases, & purge them with that spilling of thy most precious Blood, that we may be made clean and sound in thy sight, to receive thy healthful salvation of our Souls, and to rest with thy holy Congregation, and heavenly Fellowship in thy glorious and everlasting Kingdom, already purchased for us, Amen.
