ISAGOGE PHYTOLOGICA. OR An Introduction to HERBARISME.  
Courteous Reader,  
AVoiding the Prolixity and tediousness of a proemial Discourse (Brevity being here intended) thou mayest first consider the Quid sit of Phytologie; which is the Art of knowing and finding out the Temperature, Virtues and Use of Plants, as serving to the Curation or Sustentation of the Body; as also of their Danger; and the Remedies thereof.  
The parts hereof are two. 1. Therapeutic or curatory. 2. Threptick or alimentary. In both which, Vegetables may be considered according to their substance and consistence, or else according to their accidents.  
I. According to their substance or consi●●ence, they are 1. Thin or Gross. 2. Laxe 〈◊〉 Constrict. 3. Clammy, or Brittle. 4. Heavy or Light. Tenuity of parts is in those things which are aerious in essence and substance: which being subtle do easily communicate their virtue unto any liquor, and are of easy distribution in the body. Crassitude of parts is in those things which are terrene: which being more gross, do not quickly communicate their virtues unto liquids, and therefore the virtues thereof are exerted in the stomach, and seldom or never pass unto the liver. Rarity is in dry bodies: hardness in the dry and terrene. clamminess in moist bodies: brittleness in dry. Heaviness in thick bodies: and Lightness in the rarified. Tenuity looseneth and penetrateth: Crassitude obstructs: Softness lenifies and conglutinateth, and Hardness resisteth and drieth, etc.  
II. According to their accidents, they may be taken notice of, as medicamentous and alimentary. I. As medicamentous, and so according to their immediate and more remote accidents. I. According to their more immediate, sc. the qualities, and way of finding out thereof. I. The Poiotetologie or qualities, first, second, third, and fourth.  
The first are 1. Calidity or heat, which causeth motion and disposeth the parts, by a right conjunction, and situation thereof. It heateth, subtilizeth, digesteth, openeth, maturateth, and rarefies, and causeth agility: if excessive, it doth accende, inflame, attract and disturb, as thapsia, etc.  
2. Frigidity or coldness, doth cool, conjoin, inspissate, and hinder digestion, by the obtusion of calidity, & by shutting the passages hindereth distribution: also if excessive it so filleth, that it expelleth the juice, coagulates and congeals, as poison, etc.  
3. Humidity or moisture, is of easy separation, lenifying and lubrifying: if excessive, it burdeneth the spirits, and loadeth the same: and if aqueous, it causeth nauseousness, and suffocates the excitation of heat, causeth flatulencies, oppilations, slowness of action, and debility of motion and of the parts: otherwise it lenifies, lubrifies, looseneth, maketh the blood and spirits more gross, and obtundeth the acrimony of humours, as mallows etc.  
4. Siccity or dryness, doth colligate, and bind, and cause a stronger disposition of the body: if excessive, it constringeth the passages, and hindereth the excretion, presseth forth the juice out of the body, and causeth tabefaction: if in the last degree, it consumeth moisture, causeth interception, suffocation, and death as cresses, etc.  
Here the Degrees are four. The 1. Scarce sensibly altereth the body. The 2. Manifestly, yet without trouble or hurt. The 3. Vehemently, but without corruption. The 4. Most violently, and with great hurt unto the body: in each of which degrees there are three Mansions, acting remissly, intensely, or in a mean: or in the beginning, middle, or end thereof. The Chemists in stead of these four qualities or elements, substitute 1. Their sal, from which is all sapour or taste, which is as it were the ashes of a body. 2. Sulphur, whence all odour or smell ariseth, and is like the flame. 3. Mercurius, whence is all colour, and is represented by smoke or fume.  
The second Qualities are 1. The Malactick or mollifying, to which the ecpuetick or suppurating hath affinity: for both have an equal and symmetrick heat, and a correspondent siccity, yet differing in mode. The suppurating doth produce heat most like unto that of the body without any consumption or addition of humidity. The emollient accends heat a little beyond the proportion of nature, and contracteth a little humidity, wherefore that rather operates by quantity than by the quality of heat, but the emollient, rather by quality. Therefore that which is exactly suppuratory is emplastic, yet sometimes emollition is the consequent of humidity, if joined with moderate calidity or heat, and is useful in scirrhus, and tumours.  
2. Scleryntick or hardening, which properly is that, which doth exiccate without any excess of heat or cold: for cold also may make obdurate, as also too much heat, yet after another manner than only by exiccation, for though that which is dry is hard, yet all that is hard is not dry. But Siccity doth dry and indurate two ways; sc. by altering and making more dry the essence of the parts, which most properly; or by consuming the humours in the pores; yet sometimes obduration may also be caused by repletion or fullness.  
3. Araiotick and rarefying, or diaphoretic and resolving, which are moderately hot, with tenuity of parts and very little resiccant or drying, for excessive heat doth not rarefie but burn, and by adustion doth condensate and dry. But moderate heat openeth the passages and deeply penetrateth by the tenuity of its substance, and easeth pain: also it openeth the pores and attenuates the substance.  
4. Pycknotick or condensating, contrary to the rarefacient, contracting the pores, and incrassating what is rarefied and humid, and making it more solid, which is in those things which refrigerate yet are not terrene, or aerious, but aqueous, and are nothing at all, or but little astringent; for these do weakly contract, and bind, sc. by reason of their softness.  
5. Anastomotick or aperient, opening the mouths of the vessels, and is in those things that are of gross parts, hot, sharp, and biting.  
6. Stegnotick or binding, contracting, occluding, and constringing, shutting the mouths of the vessels, and restraining sensible excretion, and is in those things which are frigid, of gross parts, and without acrimony, as many terrene bodies are: for those things which ought strongly to constipate and bind, must also have a more strong and renitent faculty.  
7. Helctick, epispastick or drawing, attracting the humours from the centre, and is in those things, which are hot, and of thin parts: for that which is hot attracteth, and that more strongly which hath a conjunct tenuity of parts, but those moderately attract, which are hot and dry in the second degree, if in the third more effectually, and chief those that are so in the fourth: for the attraction is according to the degree of heat, and is either more natural, or by putrefaction. yet some things attract specifically, and not by a manifest quality: as things that are cathartick or purging, and alexitery or resisting poison.  
8. Apocroustick or repercutient, repelling the humours flowing from the centre, as in those things which are frigid and of gross parts. For that which is cold repelleth, and if it hath a crassitude of parts also, it is more violent, as that which is acerbe or austere; yet those things also repel which are astringent, especially those which are helped by the tenuity of their parts: for the thinness of the substance doth much conduce to astriction, therefore other things that are astrictive, by reason of the crassitude of their substance, cannot easily penetrate the more remote parts, precluding the passages.  
9 Ryptick, abstergent or cleansing, removing glutinous and clammy humours in the superficies or adhering to the pores of the skin, or ulcers: and is in those things which have power to exiccate with tenuity of substance, neither is it of any great moment whether they are hot or cold, by reason that neither quality hindereth action, except excessive.  
10. Eccathartick, ecphractick, and expurgatory or removing obstructions, not only opening the pores of the skin, but the inferior ductus of the bowels; as in those things that are nitrous and bitter, although they have some small astriction, and by reason of substance do not differ from those that are absterfive, but in degree: for those things that cleanse the pores and inward passages, have a greater tenuity of parts, and are moderately hot, as those things which are nitrous & bitter: but those things which being outwardly applied to the skin do cleanse the skin, or ulcers from their excrements, are destitute of the astrictive faculty: but being taken inwardly although having a certain astriction, yet nevertheless they may purge, & cleanse the greater passages, and withal strengthen the same.  
11. Leptyntick or attenuating and making thin, as in all those things that are expurgatory, hot and of thin parts: extenuating gross and tough humours.  
12. Emplastic, viscid or clammy, contrary to the abstersive: for being applied, it doth tenaciously inhere in the pores of the skin, fill and obstruct the same, as in those things that are sat, and glutinous; as also terrene, wanting acrimony, and asperity or roughness.  
13. Emphractick or obstructing, pachyntick, and thickening, which are the same: for as those things which are detergent and purging do free the pores and passages from obstruction, so these obstruct and fill the same, and make the humours of the body tough and thick.  
14. Anodyne, paregorick or easing pain, as in those things which have thin parts, and are moderately hot, not much exceeding the temperate, sc. being hot in the first degree and rarefacient: so evacuating, digesting, rarefying, extenuating, concocting, and equalizing whatsoever humour either sharp, tough, or gross, is inhering in the smaller pores, or grieved parts: and all vaporous crass, gross or cold spirits not finding way of evacuation.  
15. Narcotick or stupifying the parts by its coldness, and not properly mitigating the pain, nor taking away the causes of the grief: yet stupor is somewhat less than insensibility, or the privation of sense, the same also is hypnotick, or somnifick & ●auseth sleep being taken, sc. its subject, which doth vehemently refrigerate, sc. in the 4th degree; so that it doth not only stupefy the sense; but being liberally taken, causeth death, as opium; & that not only by its exuperant quality; but also by a certain propriety of substance and its concurring essence, its narcotick vehemency being but little repressed by the mixture of hot correctors, though it hath some bitter parts.  
16. Amyctick, metasyncritick, or rubefacient causing redness, contrary to the former, causing pain, as in those things which heat, and dissolve unity, of this kind also are escharoticks causing crusts, which are hotter, caustick or burning: not only hot and dry in the fourth degree, but also of a gross consistence, therefore being fixed in any part, they excruciate and torment the same by their stisnesse: like unto these are those things that are septick or corrosive which are vehemently hot and dry, but of thin parts and consistence; which therefore with a little pain and biting, or else without any sense of pain eliquate the part, and are called also putrefactives.  
The third Qualities arise from the mixture of the first and second, and are 1. The Ecpuetick or suppurating, turning into matter contused flesh and humours remaining in swell, as in those things which are moderately hot, and next unto emollients, yet differing in this that they have also an emplastic faculty, obstructing the pores, increasing the substance of heat, and not intending the quality, and are also called pepticks or maturatives.  
2. Sarcotick or generating flesh, as in those things which produce flesh in hollow ulcers, and fill the cavities, and are hot in the first degree, a little detersive and that without biting and astriction.  
3. Colletick or conglutinating, as in those things which dry in the second degree, and are in a mean as to those which generate flesh, and cicatrize; they are not abstersive, but astringent, and prohibit the flux of humours to the lips of wounds, ulcers and fistulas; they are also called symphyticks, traumaticks and enaima.  
4. Epulotick or cicatrizing, as in those things which greatly dry, and bind without biting, drinking the humidity of the flesh and contracting the same, and covering with a thin callus like unto the skin; therefore do more dry than incarnatives or glutinatives, for they bind, contract, constipate, and indurate: there is also a sharp and biting epulotick that consumes dead flesh called cathairetick, and a third, drying without astriction.  
5. Porotick or generating callus, by which broken bones are ferruminated and knit, and is neither bone nor flesh but betwixt both, being a hard, dry, white body: to the generation of which are required a convenient dyet, and medicines applied which are emplastic and moderately hot.  
6. Diuretic or provoking urine, as 1. In those things that are moist and liquid, and of a thin consistence, and easy penetration, increasing the quantity of urine: so operate by accident. 2. In those things which purge and attenuate and open the passages, some of which are cold and of thin parts; sometimes expelling what sticks in the passages: which operate after a middle way, sometimes by accident, tempering exuperant heat which seizeth on the veins and resolveth the serous humidity, that the humours may be more easily attracted by the reins and descend by the bladder. 3. In these things which purge the passages, and open the same, extenuate gross humours and the blood, and separate what is extenuated from the more gross prts: which the reins then easily attract and send away by the urinary passages: which kinds of diuretics are very hot and dry, to wit in the 3d degree, sharp, and of a very thin substance, coactive, and separating.  
7. Lithontriptick or breaking the stone, dissolving & expelling the gravel, as in those things which are diuretic, hot, dry & of thin parts: sharp, but more remissely, and some what bitter.  
8. Emmenonagogick or drawing out the terms, as in those things which are hot and of thin parts, that they may concoct and digest crude humours, extenuate and incide the gross and tough, and remove obstructions by cleansing the passages: such as are all  diuretics: which also promote the expurgation of the menses; and if they are also stinking or bitter, they are more effectual: stinking things depressing the womb: and the bitter being purging. There are also accidental hysterics: as those which are analeptick or strengthening after extenuation: or which refrigetate and humect the body dried by too much heat: to these also have affinity, those things which expel the secundine, & dead birth: especially those which are more strong, sc. hot & of thin parts, stinking & bitter with acrimony, especially if taken in a greater quantity and often.  
9 Bechick or helping the cough, as in those things which cause or stop the same: for those things which conduce to the expectoration of gross humours, do also cause coughing; but on the crontrary, those things which incrassate thin humours stop and ease it: but those things are hot and of thin parts, and extenuating which expectorate tough humours; yet there are also others which in some measure purge the breast, not much hot nor very dry, but a little moistening, or at least lenifying what is exasperated; yet diuretics of the middle kind also are agreeable to the breast and lungs: which if they are cold, they incrassate thin humours & stop coughing, and especially those which are narcotick or stupefying.  
10. Galactogenetick or generating milk, as partly in meats partly in medicines: as for meat, it's such as is euchymick & polytrophick or of good juice and of much nourishment, and a little hotter and drier, if the blood be cold and pituitous; but more moist and less hot, if troubled with choler. Medicaments causing milk, are of thin parts and hot, and of affinity to those things which properly provoke urine, yet most gentle; but those things which are more strong and provoke the courses, hinder the generation thereof by too much eliquation of the humours.  
11. Spermatogenetick or generating sperm, as in those things which are hot and not very dry but flatulent, as also aliment of good juice and whatsoever increaseth the quantity of blood.  
The 4th Qualities are such which follow the substance, or property of the essence, & are found out only by experience: and are therefore called occult, latent and specific; as in poisons, theriack and alexipharmick remedies, amulets and catharticks, things antipathetick and sympathetick, as also appropriate to any part or adverse unto the same; the greatest sign of which (according to some) is Signature.  
II. The Poiotichnologie or way of finding out these qualities, as I. the manifest; it is I. by reason. 1. by odour or smell, which is either sweet familiar unto the spirits of the brain & a sign of heat, or stinking and offensive cold & moist, the first is in hot bodies, of thin parts, among which there's difference according to the degrees thereof; but those things which are without odour, are of a gross essence and humid, as those things which are salt and austere; also such things which are of a mordicant and bitter smell are hot, but those that smell like vinegar and acerb are cold, for in somethings the sense of odours is like that of sapours, yet not of so safe conjecture, by reason of the inequality of substance; for most bodies are of an unlike consistence, of each of which parts odour showeth not the temper, but where there are tenuous effluviums or vapours, whereof, the sweet strengthen the heart, the rank excite the animal spirits, the stinking help the suffocation of the matrix.  
2. By Colour, which is either 1. Lucid, exciting the animal spirits and drawing them outwards, as the white. 2. Or tenebrose, calling them inwards, and causing sleep, as the black. 3. Yellow, helping the jaundice. 4. Or green, useful for the eyes: the white and pale show moistness of temper and imbecility. The yellow proceedeth from heat. The red and croceous etc. show excessive siccity and calidity or heat. The green and porraceous are signs of much moisture.  
3. By sapours or tastes which (according to some) are I More perceptible or manifest. I. The simple, which are 1. hot, first more hot, & so first of more thin parts, as the sharp, secondly of more thick parts, as the bitter, ●nitrous, and salt▪ secondly less hot, as the sweet & is divers according to the diversity of tenuity and humidity. 2. Cold, first of gross terrene parts. First more gross as the acerbe. Secondly less gross, as the austere and astringent. Secondly of subtle aqueous parts and doubtful, as the acid. II. The mixed, as the vinous, compounded of the acid and sweet. II. Less perceptible and almost insipid. 1. Aqueous, first more subtle, as the aquinsipid, secondly more gross. First glutinous, as the humilent, Secondly fat, as the oleous. 2. Terrene, 1. succulent, as the adoreous. 2. More dry as the lignite●reous. The sapours or tastes are I. Active, 1. Bitter or Aloetick, which is contrary to the nature of living creatures, the taste whereof doth vellicate the tongue. It consisteth of terrene combust parts, of which some are, more subtle, others more gross and terrene, exiccated by exuperant heat, or coagulated by cold, as appears in opium and aloes. It is not nutritive, it openeth the mouths of the veins, causeth hemorrhages, and thirst, & makes the blood fluxible: it attenuateth, incideth, biteth, exasperates, cleanseth, melteth, attracteth, yet more moderately drieth and heateth, it consumeth and resisteth putrefaction, drinking up supervacaneous humours, and resisting sweetness: its hot and dry in the second degree terra usta.  
2. Sharp, aromatical or arsenical, hot, dry and burning, pricking the tongue, and biting the mouth, it consisteth of thin, dry and hot parts, as pepper, onions etc. If it be not vehement, and hot under the third degree, taken inwardly it doth penetrate, open, and attenuate thick humours, applied outwardly it rarifieth the skin, and draweth forth humours. If it be hot above the 3d degree, it troubleth the head with thin vapours. If it be of a more gross essence it is caustick and causeth blisters & scabs: and if it be of an adverse substance, it's septick and deadly: also it is of quick operation and strong, it attracteth from remote parts, it separates, corrodes, incideth, heateth, burneth and inflameth: it resolves, discusseth, excoriates, exulcerateth, & strongly inciteth to expurgation, if of more thin parts, it's diuretical: if of thicker, caustick: it's more intense in drier bodies, and more remiss where there is an aqueous humidity. It's hot and dry, ex aqua & terra attenuata.  
3. Acid or ammoniacall. It penetrateth the tongue with its tenuity, yet without any manifest heat. It consisteth of tenuous, cold and dry parts, as vinegar, the juice of limmons etc. It penetrateth and incideth no less than the sharp sapour, therefore it incideth, attenuates, biteth, detergeth, reserates obstructions, repels and dries: & by reason of its penetrating coldness, it repels all fluxions: and by its siccity stops all eruptions of blood. Also it helps nauseousness, corrodeth, and condensates without heat; it exasperates & resists putrefaction. It's of doubtful qualities, fiery and aqueous, hot and cold, and of all contraries. It's cold and dry 2°, aqua ignita cum halitu terreo.  
4. Nitrous, which is in a mean between salt and bitter; yet weaker than this, and more intense than the other; it's biting and corroding, as nitre. It openeth the belly, and purgeth the reins, terra spiritibus compulsa.  
5. Salt or serous. It corrodeth the tongue by exiccation, yet heateth not much; it consisteth in a mean matter with heat and dryness, and is generated of that which is terrene & dry, attenuate & preassate by heat with an aqueous humidity, so not altogether terrene, as salt; therefore it contracteth the pores, incideth, detergeth, digesteth & drinketh up humidity by its dryness, without any manifest sense of heat, and so resists putrefaction. It openeth, biteth, exasperateth, abstergeth, cleanseth, troubleth, provoketh to expulsion, purgeth, subverteth the stomach, causeth thirst, drieth, deobstructs, aggregates, condenseth, roborateth, and contracteth. It's hot and dry in the 2d degree and corrosive.  
6. Sweet or saccharine. It dilateth the tongue, and is pleasant having no exuperant quality, and being in a mediocrity, as sugar and honey; therefore it levigates what is exasperated, lenifies, maturates, concocts, is anodyne, and only nourisheth; also it digests, rarefies, distributes, looseth, filleth the liver, stops the spleen, and is hot and moist in the first degree and of terraqueous parts.  
7. Acerb or aluminous. It contracteth the tongue, and doth unequally exasperate the same by exiccation: it's near to the austere, but more troublesome to the tongue, astringent, cold, and dry. The matter thereof is terrene & dry, without any manifest moisture, in which coldness is exactly predominant with siccity, as services; therefore as cold it repelleth fluxions, as astringent it stoppeth the force of humours, as dry it doth coarctate, condense, and cicatrize wounds, as terrene it incrassates humours and condensates the superficies, it shuts, corrugates, and indurateth, so the austere. It resists poison, & is cold & dry 2°.  
8. Austeres or vitriolate. It moderately bindeth the tongue & mouth, coarctates the same with a certain asperity, and doth in some measure refrigerate & dry. It consisteth in a mean matter participating of that which is terrene and watery, in which frigidity is predominant, as medlars and wild pears etc. It manifestly refrigerateth, extinguishes, bindeth and contracteth moderately stops fluxions, and repelleth. It's subacerb, less cold and dry, and exasperating, stopping, roborating and indurating, terra spiritu commota, as vitriol. The astringent is weaker, as quinces. Mat. Med. sicc. crass.  
II. Mean. 1. Oleous. It's fat, unctuous and temperate; generated of that which is moist, aerious and moderately hot by elaxation of the watery part, whereby it becomes more aerial, as oil. It's slow and weak in operation, stopping the gustick or tasting organs. It doth humect, lenify, and soften, loosen, obstruct and cause flatulencies, and nauseousness, having a certain obscure and remiss sweetness, and mean substance.  
2. Aquinsipid. It's scarce perceived by the tongue, hardly participating of any terrene siccity, and consisting in a crude juice, it's rather a privation than a sapor: its matter is somewhat gross, yet not altogether terrene, dry, or astringent, but moistened with a certain humidity, which also is not tightly mixed by the activity of heat, as water. It is emplastic, stopping and obstructing, lenifying what is exasperated, and conglutinating that which is disjoined; and although it hath some affinity to sweet, yet it differeth in this, that it consisteth in a matter a little more gross and crude: it refrigerateth and doth more moisten sc. from the second to the third degree.  
III. Passive. 1. Ligniterreous, which is more gross, altogether terrene, and unactive, yet it hath some heat, spirit and humidity, but exceeding little, as the caput mortuum, and dry bodies without juice. Mat. cras. terra absque spiritu depressa prorsus terrea.  
2. Humilent. The matter thereof is gross, tough, aqueous, in which the earth being well mixed causeth corpulency, and it's humid, little affecting the taste, more gross and crude than the sweet. It's emplastic, stopping the passages, conglutinates what is disjoined, lenifies what is exasperated, and doth incrassate, as mucilages. Mat. Crass. frig. obscur.  
3. Adoreous, most agreeing to our nature, it recedes from sweetness in this, because its matter being unactive is hardly perceived, and it is more gross; yet well tempered to a terrene equally mixed siccity, which easily becomes passive, and is apt for distribution and solidity, as bread corn, Materia aequalis receptibilis.  
4. By the tactile quality or touch: so crassitude is a sign of the abundance of terrestrial parts or humid and congealed: tenuity, of the fiery and aerious: density of exciccation or congelation: rarity of dryness: hardness, of siccity and earthiness, except caused by the repletion of humours: softness of humidity, gravity is the companion of density: levity of rarity: clamminess of humidity: aridity or friability of siccity: smoothness of an aereous or aqueous humidity: asperity of siccity.  
5. By disposition or mutability: so, that which more soon receiveth heat, is counted hot; and that most cold, which is soon congealed.  
6. By age: so for the most part, those things that are young, are more humid: the old more dry, also whilst they are growing and immature, they have an austerity and acerbity: so, cold.  
7. By the place of growth: so plants growing by lakes, are for the most part of a cold, and moist temperature: the marshy, cold and somewhat dry: the fluviatile, dry, and very hot: the marine, cold and dry: those of a fat soil are hot and moist, or temperate therein: those of a hungry ground, hot and dry: those of a mean earth, tepid and suitable to man's nature: those of a sandy ground, hot & dry, and of thin parts: those of a doubtful growth, are of a mixed temperature: the amphibious, if growing in springy places, cold and dry; if in litorall and marine, hot and dry: the mountain plants, are dry, hot and of subtle parts: the field, moderately hot and dry: they that grow in hollow places, are cold and moist: the hilly, temperate: those that grow wild, are colder and drier than the domestic, (if of the same species) the domestic, are milder and more weak.  
8 By the operations of the sour first Qualities, as above said.  
II. By experience, which in certitude exceeds all the rest, and must be made with a simple body, without any external quality, and that in a temperate subject: in all which that must be distinguished which is done per se, from that which is per accidens.  
Thus of the way of finding out the manifest qualities, sc. of the first: after which the second are known as arising from the first: but especially by sapour or taste.  
II. Now follow occult Qualities; and these according to some, as Querc. Croll. Noll. Bapt. Port. Coles, Schrod. Culp. etc. are guessed at. I. By Phytognomy or Signature. I. Phytopricall or external, either in form, colour or property; and so the appropriations are as followeth.

II. The occult Qualities are found out by Peiralogie or experience, which is most sure and safe.  
II. Next follow those things which are more remote that concern plants and other medicinalls, as commonly to be compounded therewith.  
As 1. The Topologie or place of gathering them, Thus 1. Herbs, are to be gathered in mountains, hills, and plain places, in those that are highest especially, and exposed to the sun, and winds, except some few, as Germander & Ground-pine, which are more odoriferous, and frequent in hills; but those that grow only in plain places, are to be gathered in more dry places, and more remote from lakes and rivers, except they delight in more moisture, as water caltrops, water lily etc. 2. Flowers, are to be gathered in the same places, in which there are the best plants. 3. So Fruits, 4. And Seeds. 5. So Roots also. 6. Woods are to be taken from trees where they are well grown. 7. Barks, where there plants are best. 8. Juices, are to be taken from the best herbs, chief the well grown and greater (as being less excrementitious) & that before they grow woody or rotten. 9 Liquors and Gums etc. are to be taken from mature stalks which are the best in their kind, as the rest.  
2. The Chronologie or time. Thus 1. Herbs, are to be gathered in the time of their flourishing; and beginning to go to seed, which is for the most part in June & the beginning of July, if they are to be kept, and that at noon, in a clear day being some considerable time, or certain days before freed from showers and not too dewy, or scorched by too much heat of the Sun, which is chief in the Spring, or beginning of Summer. But those which grow green all the year in gardens, may be gathered at any time: and those that have neither stalk, flower nor seed, as maiden hair, spleenwort etc. are to be gathered in the vigour of the leaves, sc. when they are most green, and greatest; yet some because while they flower or bear seed they are woody and dry, are to be gathered before that time, as succory, beet &c. 2. Flowers, in the vigour of their maturity, when opened (except the rose) at noon in fair weather, after the Sun hath taken off the dew, and before they whither or fall off, which for the most part is in Spring. 3. Fruits, when they are ripe, and before they whither. 4. Seeds, out of fruits through ripe, when they begin to be dry, and before they fall off, and out of plants when dry and are no longer green, as in the Summer, sc. June or July. 5. The Juice of plants, is to be pressed out whilst they are green and their leaves yet tender, and especially out of the well grown and greater. 6. The Earkes of fruits, are to be taken when the fruits are full ripe, and those of roots when the herbs have lost their leaves, but those of trees when they are in their vigour. 7. Woods, when the trees are full grown. 8. Liquors and gums, etc. are taken by opening the stalk in the vigour thereof, and gums when congealed, and mature. 9 Roots, when the fruit is fallen off, and the leaves also begin (which for the most part is in Autumn) and are to be digged up in fair weather: which is necessary always to be observed, as also (according to some) the decreasing of the moon, the day of decreasing, and the morning, that time being halsamicall: as also the fortitude of the planet, familiar to the thing to be gathered, and the sign of the zodiac.  
3. The Dropologie or manner of gathering them, (as some affirm) some plants having divers faculties, according to the divers manner of gathering them, as upwards or downwards; so hellebore, the leaves drawing the humours upwards or downwards accordingly; so the root of elder also, and the buds, which being gathered upwards cause vomiting, and purge if downwards: also some observe the site of the regent planets, as whether they are oriental, or occidental, etc.  
4. The Parascevologie or the manner of preparing them for asservation. Thus 1. Flowers, are kept for the most part separated from the stalks and leaves. 2. Herbs or leaves, if they are greater, and having more thick stalks, they are kept apart from them; but if more slender they are kept together, & sometimes with the flowers. 3. Fruits, as apples, etc. are to be placed with their stalks downwards, and last longer if laid on a heap of barley. 4. Roots, some are kept whole, as those of birth-wort, gentian, hermodactils, satyrion, etc. others are dissected, as those of bryony, elecampane, flower deluce, etc. also some have the woody matter taken away, as those of fennel, stone parsley, etc. As for the parts of living creatures, 1. The fleshy parts are first to be washed with wine, or some other convenient decoction, and are then to be dried in an oven, & so kept in leaves convenient, or wrapped up in wormwood to present putrefaction; so also the lungs, the trachea or rough artery being first taken away, and thus are prepared the liver, spleen, etc. 2. Things that are Fat and oily, are to be washed often in water, until they become pure, after which they are to be melted by a gentle fire, strained, and pured out upon cold water, and are then to he kept in a cold place, thus is hogs grease prepared, lard, marrow, etc. and are best kept if a little salted. 3. Skinny parts, as the intestines are to be dissected longwaies, and to be washed in wine or some convenient decoction, after which being cut into pieces, they are to be dried in an oven, and kept in leaves as aforesaid. 4. Blood, is to be separated from the serous humour, and to be dried in an oven. 5. Galls, are to be separated from the liver, then tied with a thread, after which they are to be hung up in a chimney to dry. 6. Curds, are to be dried in the smoke, or sun, and so kept.  
5.

Vegetables, as 1. Flowers, are to be dried in the shade, and then they (especially those of good odour) are to be kept in teile caskets. 2. Herbs, are to be dried in the shadow, except those that have thicker stalks, and moister leaves, and so subject to putrefaction, which must therefore be dried by the more intense heat of the sun, or some other way, and when they are well dried, they are to be kept in linen bags, or (which is better) in wooden caskets, that they may be defended from dust. 3. Seeds, are to be kept in a dry place, and in wooden or glazed vessels, being wrapped up in papers, that they may last the longer, and without impurity. 4. Fruits, in boxes, panniers, or scuttles. 5. Gums, and dry rosins in a dry place, and in wooden vessels, but the more liquid in pitchers. 6. Barks, in wooden coffers, and a dry place. 7. Roots, in a dry air, and the lesser and more thin whose virtues may be easily dissipated by the heat of fire or the sun, are to be dried in the shadow and wind, as those of parsley, fennel, etc. but the more gross, by the sun or wind, as those of Bryony, Gentian, Mandrake, and Rhubarbe. 2. Minerals, as 1. Earth's in baskets or wooden coffers. 2. Things Salt, in wooden or glass vessels, and a dry place. 3. Things watery, in glasses or glazed pots. 3. Living creatures, as 1. Their drier parts, in wooden boxes, so bones, etc. 2. Fats and Marrows, are to be kept in pots, or earthen glazed vessels, and in a cold and dry place.  
Things prepared by art, as 1. Vinegers and distilled waters, are to be kept in glass sessels, or stone bottles, and in a temperate place. 2. Balsams, as the sweet, in tin boxes, or (better) in glasses well stopped, but the more liquid, and distilled, like distilled oils and spirits. 3. Cerots, as emplasters. 4. Things condited and the like, in earthen vessels. 5. Comfeits covered with sugar, in wooden coffers, and a place moderately hot and dry. 6. Conserves, lohoches, and electuaries, in glazed earthen vessels. 7. Extracts, in earthen or glass vessels wide mouthed, that they may be taken out with the spatula; or if they are more dry, they are kept as pills. 8. Flowers and faeculas, etc. in glasses. 9 Morsels, are kept as confections. 10. Oils, made by infusion and expression, in glasses, or glazed pots, the distilled oils in narrow mouthed glasses. 11. Pills, in wooden or tin boxes, being wrapped in bladders, or cerate papers, and in a dry place. 12. Preparations, in glasses, and dry places. 13. Rolls, as confections are kept in wooden boxes, and a dry place. 14. Salts, in glasses and dry places. 15. Species aromatical, in leather bags well sewed, or in glass or wooden vessels. 16. Spirits, in narrow mouthed glasses well stopped, and in a temperate or cold place. 17. Juices liquid, in narrow mouthed glasses, a little oil of almonds, or olives being poured thereupon: the thicker juices agree with extracts. 18. Syruped, in earthen vessels, especially those that are acid, and are to be kept chiefly in those that are glazed, that they may not attract any mineral tincture, as they do in vessels of mettle. 19 Troches, in wooden boxes. 20. Emplasters and cerots, in coffers, or dry boxes, being wrapped in a bladder, or in a waxed paper. 21. Unguents and liniments, in earthen vessels, or tin boxes.  
6. The Monelogie or duration of them. Where note, the time of keeping them must not exceed that of their duration, which is divers according to the greater or lesser solidity of the substance, by which they are more or less subject to dissipation. In particular, 1. Vegetables, as 1. Flowers may be kept so long as they retain their colour, smell and taste, which for the most part is half a year, therefore they are to be changed every year: note also, they are best when freshest. 2. Herbs may be kept longer, yet it's better to change them yearly. 3. Seeds, by how much they are more hot, sharp, and aromatical, by so much also are they more durable, therefore may be kept two or three years, but those that are lesser and colder must be changed every year, and must be kept carefully, lest they grow mouldy. 4. Fruits, must be changed every year; but the exotic that have a harder bark or shell, etc. may be kept two or three years. 5. Gums and Rosins, are more durable. 6. Barks, last a year or more. 7. Roots, if they are little, slender and thin, they are changed every year; as those of Asarabacca, Sperage &c.; but the greater, and having a gross substance, last two or three years, as those of Birth-wort, Bryony, Gentian, Rhubarb, and Hellebore. 2. Minerals, for the most part (except some that are sulphureous and aqueous) because they are of a more solid and durable nature, they are also of a longer duration. 3. Living creatures, and their parts, may be kept till they are corrupted, which will appear by their ranke-smell, taste, place, and change of colour, as the rest, but those parts are most durable, which are most dry and solid, and the softer more corruptible, and are therefore to be changed every year.  
Things prepared by art, as 1. Vinegers by infusion, are to be changed every year, or to be renewed by the addition of new vinegar, and infusion of new materials. 2. Distilled waters that are phlegmatic are to be changed, or renewed every year by new plants and distillation: but those that are fuller of spirits may be kept longer. 3. Aromatical balsams, may last two or three years. 4. Things condited, as fruits, may be kept two years. 5. Confections, last longer than things without sugar. 6. Conserves, abide one year. 7. Decoctions, last good but few days. 8. Electuaries lenitive, one year: the solutive, a year and half, and the more pleasing, the less while. 9 Elixyrs, being full of spirit, if carefully kept, last divers years. 10. Extracts that are more hard, are not easily hurt in many years, except by exiccation or dryness. 11. The Faeculae of vegetables, may be renewed every year, yet they will last two years or more. 12. Flowers,  according to the matter from which they are sublimated. 13. Juleps are to be made according to occasion. 14. Lohoches, which take in almonds and cold seeds, apt to mould, hardly last above one year, but the rest two years. 15. Magisteries, made by precipitation out of hard things, last three years or more. 16. Morsels last some considerable time; yet they are best fresh. 17. Oils by expression that are temperate, as of almonds, orpine, apples, etc. especially those that are to be taken inwardly, can hardly be kept a month without moulding: the cold may last a year; the hot, three or four, and those that are pressed out of sweet smelling fruits, (as out of nutmegs &c.) may last half a year. Those that are distilled last longer; but if made by insolation they are wont to be changed every year or two. 18. Pills, by reason of the aloes and their hardness may be kept two or three years, especially those that have opium as an ingredient. 19 Preparations, being of a less hard, and volatile essence, may last two or three years. 20. Powders, are best fresh. 21. Robs or hard juices are to be changed every year. 22. Rolls, are made as occasion requireth. 23. Salts, will last divers years, especially the chrystalized. 24. Species aromatical, are to be renewed every year, or year and half. 25. Spirits, if well kept that they do not exhale, may last very long. 26. Juices liquid, are to be changed every year, but the more hard and thick may be kept two or three years or more. 27. Syrupes simple, are to be changed every year; but the compound and aromatical may last two years. 28. Tinctures, in powder may last divers years; but the liquid last according to the diversity of the menstruums. 29. Troches, and dry collyries, may last one year, except those that contain opium, or seeds apt to grow mouldy, for those with opium may last six or seven years, and the rest hardly one. 30. Cerots, scarce endure one year. 31. Clysters, last not long, & are therefore to be made when useful. 32. Emplasters, hardly endure a year and half. 33. Ointments, for the most part are kept a year, or a year and half.  
7. The Criseologie or discrimination and distinction thereof; thus are to be shunned; 1. Herbs, that are greatest, smallest, and withered, as also those that are of an evil taste, smell and colour. 2. Flowers, that are corrupted, broken, unripe or stolen, or of an evil taste, smell or colour. 3. Fruits, that are wrinkled, not corpulent, or rotten, of an evil taste and smell. 4. Seeds, that are withered, unripe, or not corpulent, rotten, of an evil smell or taste. 5. Barks, that are worm-eaten, rotten, or soaked in water. 6. Juices, that are stolen, without good smell, taste or colour. 7. Liquors and gums, that are old, and have lost their virtues. 8. Woods, that are rotten, light or corrupted, 9 Roots, that are worm-eaten, or withered. 10. Parts of living creatures, that are taken from those that are sick, old, or dying by diseases: hence appeareth the choice. Also 1. Emollients or the softening remedies, are known by their temperateness in heat and moisture, also by the gustile and tactile quality, or touch and taste, being in taste near sweetness, but of a fat and oily substance, so that they are neither sharp austere, acid, salt, or of any other taste, that may show either astriction, or vehement heat or cold, neither do they seem rough or glutinous being touched. 2. Indurants or the hardening, are known by sapor or laste, which is such, that neither showeth heat, nor biteth or contracteth the tongue; but is rather insipid, cold, so neither salt, sharp, bitter, sweet, acerb, austere or acid. 3. Tendents & laxants or the stretching & loosening, are known as emollients; yet laxants are less hot and dry than emollients. 4. Rarefacients & densants or rarifying and thickening, are known as emollients, sc. by sapor, showing moderate heat: so also densants being contrary hereunto, and not vehemently cold, therefore (according to Galen) those things which vellicate the tongue, by a biting sapor, or astringent, are not to be accounted among densants. 5. Aperients or the opening, are known by their sharpness and biting, pricking and fretting the tongue. 6. Occludents or the closing, are distinguished by their coldness, and astriction without biting; for they coarctate and bind the tongue, but do not vellicate or eat the same. 7. Attenuants are sharp, and bitter, yet they rather dissolve the tongue, than contract it, being of thin parts, and without astriction. 8. Attrahents or the drawing, are known as attenuants, both having tenuity of parts, and no small heat, so that they differ secundum magis & minus, yet tenuity of parts is more proper to attenuants, and heat to attrahents, and showeth the same, not only by the taste but touch also. 9 Discutients or the dissolving, by taste which burneth the tongue, being sharp, very hot, and of thin parts, without astriction, not contracting the tongue. 10. Repellents or the resisting, by taste, acid, acerbe or austere: for these participating of astriction, do presently contract the tongue by their contact. 11. Adurents or burning, by touching rather than by taste: for such rather corrode the thick skin and humours, and consume the same; but the weaker are sharp, & being tasted do prick the tongue. 12. Extergents or the cleansing, are not distinguished by one sapor, for they may be either sweet, salt, or bitter: but those that are cold show themselves rather by some tactile quality, than by taste, for they are neither said to be acid, austere, or acerbe, not having astriction, which doth more impact the sordes or excrements. 13. emplastics, by being without sapor, or having one that showeth excess neither of heat, nor cold: they are therefore either fat, insipid, or sweet in some measure, and tough & viscous being touched. Furthermore medicines of the 3d qualities, 1. Suppurants, or things causing matter, are known by not having any sapor which may show excess of heat, and by being without astriction, & not biting or nitrous. 2. Diuretics or provoking urine, by their sharpness, heat and incision: the cold by their nitrous quality, with some small sharpness or bitterness. 3. Emmenagogicks or provoking the courses, by heat 30, incision and abstersion, & biting of the tongue without contraction, being sharp, or somewhat bitter. 4. Galactogeneticks, or causing milk, by a sweet taste, and temperate; yet some have a little acrimony. The contrary diminish milk, as things bitter, acerbe, austere, etc. which show excess either of heat or cold. 5. Spermatogeneticks, or causing sperm by heat and moisture, almost like the former, but that they are more fat and viscous or tough, and those that stimulate the sperm, are known by their sharpness. 6. Anodynes, or easing pain by their temperateness, and thinness of essence. 7. sarcotics, or generating flesh by their exiccation and abstersion or cleansing of the filth and corrupt matter. 8. Glutinants', or closing by astriction, and more exiccation than the former. 9 epulotics, or cicatrizing and healing, as the last; yet exceeding in degree. 10. alexipharmics, or things resisting poison by their corroberating, contrary, or extrusive faculty.  
8. The Taxilogie or way of placing them in Receipts: so 1. Those which want longer preparation are first to be put down, as 1. Woods that are not sweet, and barks, 2. Then Herbs, 3. Fruits, 4. Seeds, Lastly Flowers, and whatsoever are sweet or purging, etc. 2. Things that are to be boiled or infused, before things that are only to be powdered. 3. In things that want and are of the same preparation, those are to be first placed, of which the greatest quantity is required. 4. In those things of which there is the same preparation, and quantity, those are to be first placed, which either in commodity or nobility do exceed. 5. Those things are last to be prescribed, which have the place of Matter, as aloes in pills, wax in unguents, and honey in great confections.  
9 The Pharmacopoetologie, or way of compounding them: here, 1. Vinegers, are made of wine vinegar, and vegetables, incided or contused, by infusion in a warm place, or by distillation. 2. Waters, are made by distillation, infusion, decoction or the mixture of herbs, flowers, roots, woods, spices, and living creatures, being first centused or bruised. 3. Balsams, that are sweet are made of sweet oils incorporated in white wax purified etc. The distilled, are distilled spirits with a little oil drawn forth of rosins, gums, spices etc. by the spirit of wine. 4. Bowls, are made by mixture, or inspissation or thickening etc. Of electuaries, pulps, conserveses, and powders reduced into a deglutible and less fluid consistence. 5. Cataplasmes, are made chief of herbs (green or dry) roots, flowers, seeds, oils, fruits, greases, crumbs of bread etc. reduced with or without fire into the form of a pultise. 6. Clysters are made of convenient liquors, among which the purging are most usual, which for the most part are compounded, and made of 4. or 5. parts of some emollient decoction, and 1, or 2. of oil, and some purging and stimulating electuaries, or species etc. in a double quantity to what is taken downwards. Note, oil is to be added when there is need of emollition, and not when of purgation or revulsion. Hereto belong Metrenchytes, made of some distilled water, decoction or juice etc. to which way be added powders, electuaries, oils &c. as also other injections to be used with a syringe. 7. Conditures, are made of roots, barks, stalks, fruits, nuts and flowers, of which the more gross are to be mollifyed, and dissected and then edulcorated or sweetened with purified and dissolved sugar, and sometimes with clarified honey etc. 8. Confections with sugar are made by dropping dissolved sugar by degrees on things to be prepared as seeds, kernels, spices, roots, barks, as also flowers, and tops of plants, and they are candied with more gross liquor. 9 Conserves, are made by stamping the matter in a stone mortar, and mixing the sugar therewith in a double proportion in things more humid, and triple if more dry, with a little distilled water, thus are prepared flowers for the most part, seldom herbs, less often roots, and fruits almost never, and are then to be filtrated. 10. Decoctions, are made of all things that may communicate their virtue unto liquors, as minerals, vegetables, and animals, or living creatures; but Apozems chief of vegetables, sc. roots, barks, herbs, flowers, berries, fruits, and woods, with spring water, whey, hydromel, or wine, from a four fold proportion of the liquor to twelve, with a due preparation, decoction, and clarification with the white of an egg. 11. Lambatives and ●ohochs, are made of pectorals, sc. powders, conserveses, mucilages, syrups, decoctions, honey, pulps, etc. mixed to the consistence of honey: note the proportion of powder is half an ounce to 2 of syrup. 12. Electuaries, sc. the common or opiates are made of fine powders, with warm clarified honey, being set to ferment in some warm place, after the mixture of the dissolved solubles; but mixtures are made of powders, electuaries, conserveses, extracts, and dissected confections, with some convenient liquor, or so much syrup as may suffice. 13. Elixyrs, are spirituous liquors of excellent faculties, impregnated by infusion, and agree for the most part with liquid tinctures. 14. Emplasters and cerots, are made of fat things, as oils, rosins, grease, marrow, wax, & gums, and sometimes powders, to the wax melted are last added: the proportion of oil, fat or honey is three ounces, to one of dry things, of wax 1 pound, of rosins' 8 ounces; thus are Cerotes made, yet softer: hereto belong Dropaces, made of pitch, a little oil, & other materials, as pepper, pellitory, rosemary, euphorbium, castor, bitumen, brimstone, salts etc. 15. Emulsions, are made of the inward parts of fruits, and milky seeds, as almonds, the 4 greater cold seeds, seeds of purslain, lettuce, pine apple kernels, etc. with spring or distilled water, the decoction of barley, liquorice, raisins or jujubes being pounded, & strained, and then sweetened, avoiding things acid. 16. Errhines, are made of extracts, liniments or powders. 17. Epithemes, are made of distilled waters, juices, decoctions, emulsions, etc. alone or mixed with powders, species, electuaries etc. and some wine vinegar, or spirits for penetration, and so applied with a sponge or linen cloth, etc. the proportion is half a pound, of liquors, of powders from 1 dram to half an ounce, of wine or spirits 1 ounce. 18. Extracts, are drawn out of minerals, vegetables and animals by preparing them for infusion and then pouring the menstruum thereon to a convenient height, (sc. the spirit of wine etc.) after which set it in a warm place, and then extract it according to art. 19 Faeculas, are made of roots & sometimes of leaves by pounding them in a mortar, and pouring on water till like a pulp, which is then to be pressed, and set to settle. 20. Flowers, are made by chemical separation by sublimation. 21. Gargarisms and dentisrices, are made for the most part of waters, juices or convenient decoctions, to which way be added of syrups, or honey 2, 3, or 4 ounces, to 1 pound of water, with a little vinegar etc. 22. Jellies, are made of succulent fruits, of horns & tender bones, by decoction and filtration, edulcoration and coagulation, to which also may be added powders and extracts etc. 23. Infusions, are made of minerals and animals, but chief of vegetables, and such as are purging, with their corrigents, together with some distilled or spring water, whey, muscadel, meed, or wine &c. to cover the matter, 1, 2, or 3. fingers, which after steeping is to be pressed. 24. Juleps, are made of some potulent liquor, as distilled or spring water corrected by a toast, or some decoction, as of heart's horn, liquorice, or barley etc. in which juices and spirits may be dissolved, and of syrrups 1, or 2, ounces may be added to a pint of liquor. Hereunto belong morets, made of spices and other confortatives, with sugar or syrrups. 25. Stones, are made by digestion, extraction and coagulation. 26. Liquors, are made by deliquium, etc. 27. Magisteries, are made of animals, vegetables, and minerals prepared by solution in some convenient or acid liquor, precipitation, ablution in common water, and gentle exiccation. 28. Masticatories, are usually made of mastic, raisins, bastard pellitory, cubebs, sage leaves, agaric etc. made into powder, balls, or troches with wax, figs, turpentine, or honey etc. and so are to be chewed. 29. Morsels and rolls, may be made of all kinds of remedies, as powders, seeds, conserveses, oils, extracts, with sugar dissolved over the fire, putting them in by degrees and stirring them, after which it's to be poured forth upon some plain thing and cut into tablets. In those that are purging manna may be put in stead of honey, things condited are to be first cut in pieces: distilled oils are last to be dropped in, or used outwardly, so musk and amber being dissolved in rose water. Rolls also are thus made, but the powders must be finer and in a less quantity, and if there are acid juices they must be made only by mixture. 30. Oils, as first the destilled, are made of animals, vegetables and minerals. 2. Those by expression, of seeds, and certain oleous kernels. 3. By decoction, the simples being cut and boiled in oil mixed with water, wine, or some convenient liquor, until the aqueous humidity be exhaled, or by maceration in oil, as that of olives, or the omphacine if the simples are more dry. 31. Pills, may be made of any dry thing incorporated by some viscid and glutinous liquor, as syrrups, mucilages, inspissate or thickened juices, extracts etc. or they may be made only of juices and inspissate extractions. 32. Potions, are made of syrrups, electuaries, extracts, manna, powders etc. with decoctions, infusions, and chief distilled waters, usually only by mixture. 33. Pomanders, are made of sweet powders, to which oils may be added, which may be incorporated with wax, storax, Indian balsam, the mucilage of tragacanth, with a little turpentine when need, and a little rose water, and so made up into small balls. 34. Preparations, are made by powdering the more hard matter, sprinkling thereon some cordial water, sc. rose water for the most part, and afterwards drying it in the shadow. Those things that are more solid are to be calcined. 35. Powders and species, are made by triture or levigation, and the less if of a volatile substance, and apart if of a divers hardness. 36. Fomentatorie little bags, may be made of any in●ided or contused vegetables, sowed up in small bags, and are then to be applied warm either dry or moist. 37. Salts, are made by incineration, maceration, transcolation, and evaporation or crystallization. 38. Washballs, are made of soap especially that of Venice, with which sweet things finely powdered are to be mixed with some fragrant water, as of roses, etc. 39 Spirits, if more volatile, are made by a more gentle fire, as by BM. vel cinerum. The more fixed, by a retort and stronger fire, and are made of animals, minerals, and vegetables, and the more volatile of leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds and spices: but the more fixed out of woods, barks etc. The first differ not from distilled waters, but that they are less phlegmatic, and separated by rectification after contusion, and fermentation. 40. Juices, are drawn seldom out of animals, but chief out of vegetables; yet not all, as those that are oleous, and more dry: and are made by contusion, expression, clarification, filtration or digestion, and the less succulent by maceration, or elixation first. 41. Sinapismes, are made of mustard seed, cresses, nettles, showbread, bryony, squills, garlic, euphorbium, cantharides etc. with the pulp of figs, leaven, honey, oxymel, soap, etc. And Vesicatories, of cantharides prepared, sc the heads and wings being cut off, 30 being powdered, and of sharp leaven 1 ounce, with sharp vinegar if need. 42. Suppositories, are used for divers indications, but chief the dejectory, of which, 1. the more gentle are made of lard, an open fig, candle, wax, meat boiled in water, stalks and roots; as of beets, cabbage, blites, mercury etc. 2. The mean with a certain acrimony, are made of honey boiled thick, soap, and boiled tupentine, to which sometimes is added mousedung, salt or sugar. 3. The morestrong and purging, are made of agaric, aloes, hier● picra, hellebore, scammony etc. in the powder of which the suppository may be rolled. Here the proportion of honey is 1 ounce, of powder more gently purging 1 dram, if more strongly half a scruple, half a dram or 1 dram. They are also at last to be anointed with oil or butter. Pessaries and nascals are made in the form of a finger, of hysterick remedies, which are to be put into a long linen bag, or made up with picked wool or cotton, or incorporated with honey, laudanum, galbanum, wax, juices etc. they are in figure like suppositories, but thicker and longer. Roots also may be used in stead thereof, as of madder, cyperus, lilies etc. 43. Syrups, are made of some medicamentous liquor, decoction, infusion, juice, distilled water or vinegar, which being clarified, sugar or honey (for preservation & sapour) are to be added, then boiled and clarified: it's to be inspissated to the consistence of more liquid honey. The proportion of liquor to sugar or honey is almost double or triple. Hereunto belong physical honeys, and syrupized Robs. 44. Tinctures, of which the more liquid are nothing else than extractions, without an abstracted menstruum: the more solid are powders without combustion, remaining out of the liquid tinctures, the menstruum being abstracted; and are made after the manner of extracts. 45. Trochiskes, are made of all kinds of remedies, which being powdered are made up in some convenient viscous liquor, as in some mucilages with tragacanth, juices, syrups, etc. Hereunto belong sumale candles made of odoriferous powders, with tragacanth, storax etc. as also troches for the same, not differing in the way of making. 46. Inunctory balsams, liniments and unguents, hardly differ in their preparation, but consistence, which in the first is more liquid, like honey: in the second a little harder, and scarce fluid: the third more hard, and less fluid: and are made of oil, butter, fats, marrow, rosins, mucilages, juices, etc. as also of powders and things that may be melted. To 1. ounce of oil is used of fats almost 1, or 3 drams in liniments. 1. dram or a half in balsams. 1 dram & a half or half an ounce in ointments, with 1. dram of powder etc. Also balsams are without wax, liniments have a little, or none, as 1. dram to 1 ounce of oil; but unguents have more, and sometimes gums, and are made by mixture or liquefaction.  
10. The Dosologie or quantities thereof. I. As Ingredients. So 1. the doses of Herbs, as used 〈…〉 are proportioned by handfuls, in clysters and decoctions, 1, or 2. for one time: so if dry, in external and great remedies, but in others, as powders for the head and stomach etc. from one dram to hafe an ounce, or an ounce. 2. Flowers, if dry are measured by weight and measure, if fresh they are proportioned by measure only: the dry in antidotes and more noble compositions, from a scruple to two drams; as in cordial, capital and stomachick powders, and unguents; but in syrrups, apoz emes, and other decoctions from half a pugil to 2, 3, or more, as also in baths and clysters; not being efficacious therein, unless in a great quantity: when fresh they are more effectual to refrigerate, humect, or loosen; and are therefore used only in syrrups, and apozemes, and other decoctions of the like nature, and that from half a pugil, to more: and are not weighed except for conserveses. 3. Fruits, if great, whole and discrete, are prescribed by number, and not weight, except some part thereof only be to be used, and in exact compositions. And in some the diversification is to be made according to the scope and use, as prunes, tamarinds &c. for if used to refrigerate or alter choler a little number will suffice, as two or three couple; but ten or twenty, if to purge: so of figs etc. in inward remedies; for in baths if to cleanse and relaxare they may be put in, in a greater quantity, sc. 50 couple; and loosening, detergent and emollient fruits from 10 couple, to 20. The refrigerating and lenient, in injections against the inflammation of the intestines to 10. couple, as prunes, sebestens and tamarinds: so also the sweeter fruits in clysters easing pain, lenient, loosening, detersive, and drawing down worms: so also the astringent in clysters for fluxes, but in a less quantity in altering decoctions, lest they should cause obstructions. The detergent in loosening remedies from 20 couple to forty, and in the altering to 5, or 6 couple; but in pectoral decoctions, or syrrups in a mean quantity, or to 10. couple, as figs, jujubes etc. also the pulp thereof is prescribed by measure, as the pulp of raisins to two ounces in solutive electuaries; in lohoches in a mean, and in hepatick corroborating or malactick cataplasms from a quarter of a pound to a pound; so all astringent fruits: the lesser fruits as currants etc. in a greater or lesser weight, according to the scope, nature, strength, and jorme of the remedies: and the indiscrete fruits are prescribed by weight, not number. 4. Seeds, are always proportioned by weight. The hot and pleasant to 1 or 2 drams, as aniseed etc. in peptick powders: the less acceptible to half or 1 dram, and the more sharp in a lesser quantity: the temperate from 1 dram to an ounce in inward remedies; and in baths, fomentations, and clysters, from 1 ounce to more. The Diuretic, according to the scope and acrimony: if to provoke urine, from 1 dram to 3, or 4. and with purging remedies from a scruple to a dram. And in aperient remedies in a mean quantity. In arteriacks from one scruple to a dram, as also in Bechicks. Those that expel wind, in clysters, remedies easing pain and the colic, from two drams to 6: in antidotes from one dram to three: the hottest seeds, used powdered in inward remedies from one scruple to one dram, and in the external from 2 drams to an ounce; but in decoctions to be taken inwardly, from one dram to three, and in external remedies from 3 scruples to an ounce and half. The greater cold seeds, in diuretics from two drams to an ounce. In pectorals from half a dram to three. In loosening remedies from a scruple to a dram. In clysters from half an ounce to an ounce. In baths from two ounces to 6: but the lesser cold seeds, in inward remedies, as powders, from a scruple to two drams. In the outward, from half a dram to half an ounce. Narcotick seeds, from half a dram to two or three, as in remedies for the colic: but in the external, from a dram to half an ounce. Cerealls, that are whole are to be measured by pugils or small handfuls; more in baths: in clysters one or two pugils. In the decoctions of syrrups, injections and gargarisms from half a pugil to a whole one: but when they are powdered, by weight; as in cataplasms, from one pound to two: and to inspissate the juice of herbs, as much as may reduce it into the consistence of honey; as in bechick and arteriack remedies from one dram to three. Pulses, are measured as cereals, but are weighed when powdered. 5. Roots, in syrups and apozems, from one ounce to three, if for more doses; if for one, from 3 drams to an ounce, more or less, according to their nature and strength and the scope: in baths they are proportioned by pounds or handfuls. In clysters from 2 ounces to 3. and more for fomentations, irrigations etc. 6. Woods, if sweet, more noble, and precious, from half a dram to a dram, for the most part, in inward or outward remedies, as suunders etc. but the more gross & ignoble, of which are made decoctions, as guajacum etc. from an ounce to a pound. 7. Barks, the more rare and excellent, from a scruple to half an ounce, as cinnamon etc. The more base, from one ounce to more; except ungrateful to the taste, as guajacum etc. 8. Juices, according to the scope & form of remedies. 9 So Rosms, the liquid taken alone, from a scruple to 3 drams to cleanse the reins; if to loosen the belly, from 2 drams to half an ounce; in plasters and unguents, from half an ounce to more, according to the scope; but the more dry, as pitch etc. in outward remedies, as plasters and unguents, from half an ounce to an ounce or more. 10. Living creatures, if used whole, are proportioned by number, except small, their parts by number and weight: the more liquid, by weight: so those that are burned, or prepared, and that from one dram to three, as rasped hearts horn, etc. but those that are more sharp, foetid, or sweet, if used in●wardly from two grains to a dram, as musk, amber etc. but more, if used outwardly.

II. As alimentous. Thus of the faculties of medicinales, now follow those of aliments; which are such vegetables, that nourish and increase the bodily substance, by restoring that which is deperdite, the body being in a perpetual decay, and therefore wanting refection by meat and drink: and this, if it do not greatly affect the body by any other quality, is properly and simply called aliment, and is in some measure like unto the substance of the body, into which it is to be converted; but if it change the body by any exuperant quality, it is not simply aliment, but medicamentous: such are those things which with sweetness have adjoined an acid, acerb, bitter, or sharp quality: and from hence ariseth the difference of aliments: of which some are.  
1. Euchymick, or of good juice, sweet in taste, pleasant to the palate, and not of any unpleasant smell: as also fat things, and some which are insipid, as bread of the best wheat etc.  
2. Cacochymick, or of evil juice, which besides sweetness, have some other quality mixed therewith, as sharpness, bitterness, saltness, acerbity, and too much acidity: also all fetid things, of an unpleasant smell, and corrupted; as the oleraceous, (especially the wild,) except lettuce and succory, also cucumbers, corrupt corn, things growing in cenose and dirty places, as also thick, austere, and acid, beer made of bad grain, etc. and some of these engender 1. A cold, pituitous and crude juice, as the hasty fruits and cold herbs. 2. But others, a hot and bilious, as all things that have acrimony, so garlic, onions, leeks, wake● Robin, cresses, mustard etc. 3. And some a me lancholi●k, as pulses, especially lentils, and cabbage.  
3. Of gross nourishment, as those things which have a strong and hard substance, as bread baked under ashes, and whatsoever is made of meal without leaven, chestnuts, acorns, frogstooles, thick, sweet, and black wine, and ale, also whatsoever is viscid and glutinous, and are to be shunned by all that live at ease, and use no exercise before meat; but those are the best for diet, that are in a mean between incrassating and attenuating.  
4. Of thin juice, as things thin and friable, especially if joined with acrimony; as garlic, onions, leeks, hyssop, organy, savoury, bread of wheat well fermented, and twice baked, bitter almonds, peaches, and thin white wines: These also open the passages, cleanse away what is viscous, incide and extenuate what is gross; but are to be shunned by those, who are of a choleric temperature; the long use of them causing bilious and serous excrements; yet are agreeable to those whose body and veins are full of a crude, pituitous and melancholic juice. Here note, an attenuating diet differeth from a slender one, the last prefixing a mode in the quantity, and the other being so called by reason of the tenuity of the alimentary juice.  
5. Eupeptick, as things easily resoluble, concocted or corrupted; as most fruits.  
6. Dyspeptick, as all things of a solid substance and thick juice. An Experiment of all which may be made by decoction in water. For the liquor, if sweet, showeth the thing to be of good juice; if thick, of gross juice; if well boiled, of much nourishment: if thin, of little: if slowly boiled, not easily altered in the stomach, and so the contrary. Also some are 1 flatulent, of cold unconcocted humidity. 2. Without wind, of easy elixation. 3. Easily descending, acrid, salt, insipid, or excrementitious. 4. Slowly, as things dry & binding.
