would take this matter into consideration and take a little care for the lives of the poor Commonalty that a poor man that wants money to buy his wife and Children bread may not perish for want of an angel to fee a proud insulting domineering Physitian to give him a Visit I think it is a duty belonging to the Keepers of the Liberty of England I would help my poor brethren in this particular if I could but I cannot Whosoever reads what I have here written and approves of it let him joyn with me in a Petition to the State for the rectifying of this disorder Those which approve not of it let them answer me to this question who made a difference between the Rich and the poore was it God or the world If the world as is most certain then wil it not stand for the fashion of the world passeth away 3 If many good signs appear at the beginning of a Fever note the sign and degree the moon is in at the Decumbiture And the party will recover when the moon comes to the Sextile of the place she was in then Hippocrates was against Astrologers as appears by this Aphorism And our Colledge the Physitians hug his writing under their arms But follow him as much as the Pope follows Saint Peter 4. Note the place the moon is in at the Decumbiture then view the sick body when the moon comes to the Sextile of that place If you find ill Symptoms of the sick body then you may fear death when she comes to the Quartile of that place and you have cause enough 5. Short Maladies are better judged of then long a great deale of time may produce more alteration then a little 6. If Fevers happen to women in child-bed begin the Calculation at the time of her delivery and not at the Initiation of the sicknesse and take their Crisis that way 7. If the Fever continue to the third Crisis which is not often you may presage bleeding at the Nose and it is twenty to one it comes not upon the day of the third Crisis or near it 8. If the Patient bleed not at the Nose be sure he hath an Inpostume in some of the infetiour parts of his body 9. Flux of blood in such a case most usually haps to people that are under thirty years of age Impostumes to them that are older 10. If the sick find a vehement pain about his fore-head or places near it he is very subject to bleed at the Nose and that may save his life 11. Young persons oftener dye at the first Crisis in Fevers then ancient and the reason is becanse their nature is hotter and the more subject to take fire for he that knows but his A. B. C. in Physick knows a Fever comes of heat 12. Old persons sooner dye upon relapses then young and the reason is because their bodies are weaker 13. Ulcerations in the throat are usually mortal in hot diseases 14 Fevers continue longer in ancient people then they do in young and the reason is because the bodyes of ancient people are colder dry wood will burn most violently it is confest but wet wood will be longer a burning 15 Ancient people are more subject to quarten Agues then young and the reason is because Saturn causeth them a child wil leave playing with his Father to play with it 's equals CHAP. II. Presages of the Quinsey 1. ALL Quinses are extream dangerous and sometimes mortal 2. The most dangerous signes in a Quinsey are great pain great difficulty in breathing yet no swelling outwardly appearing for if the swelling appear the external part of the throat is most afflicted And if you do not believe better to have the External part of the throat afflicted then the Internal I wish you did 3. Here you find that in the Quinsey it is better when they appear outwardly then when they do not 4. If the swelling appear not outwardly they usually kill within four days at the furthest although no Crisis come at that time My own opinion is though I hold an absolute truth in the Crisis as I have laid them down in this book yet withall I know as well that there is a difference to be made between the time that the disease overcomes the vitals and the time of the dissolution as also That in a proper acute disease The moon to the semie Sextile of the place she was in at the Decumbiture often kills because she is then in a signe opposite in respect of nature sex and time 5. If a red tumour appear outwardly and fall in again the danger of death is great Life may borrow a little time and so forth but 't is to be feared must be forced to yeild to her enemy Death at last 6. If the tumour in a Quinsey increase upon a Critical day and break neither inwardly nor outwardly death or a relapse or some thing as bad is to be feared though the Patient feel case for the time CHAP. III. Presages by the Vvula THe presages are but few happily honest Hippocrates whom Authors call divine for his ingenuity rather then his religion because the diseases in this part of the body are but few and those few appear but seldome 1 Incision in the Uvula Gargarion or Columella when it is swoln red or grosse is dangerous Physicians love to trouble your pates with hard words for if they would write plaine English they could not make silly people believe wonders and then their Diana would downe you shall find an explanation of all such words which he that can but read his Primmer shall find at the latter end of the book 2 If the Uvula look pale or livid and the upper part not swelled you may make an incision without danger 3 Be sure you purge the belly before you be too busie in making incision in those parts Thus Hippocrates The truth is I cannot find any reason why any incision at all should be made there a man may as well plead Excise as Custome for ought I know If there be an inflammation there blood-letting in the arme will serve the turne if putrefaction or ulcer as sometimes happen to such as our company of Chyrurgeons Flux for the French pox either for want of care or skill or something else clensing medicines will do the deed I do not in this Treatise professe to write an Anatomy if I did I could tell you what the use of the Uvula was and how difficult an incision there is and how dangerous the effects of it may prove but I passe it and come to CHAP. IV. Presages of Vomiting in Feavers FIrst of all when there appears blacke things or things like flies before the eyes of him that hath a Feaver viz. when he thinks he sees flies when ther 's no such thing neer him be sure the sick will vomit yellow choler and the surer if withall he find an ilnesse at his stomack 2 If there be a stiffnesse and chillinesse in those parts neer the Hypocondria the vomiting will the sooner be hastened 3 My Author doth not tell whether this vomiting be good or bad in a Feaver therefore I le tell it you for him it shews strength of nature therefore take it as a hopefull signe the choler which is vomited up lies in the stomack and that 's not the place dame nature hath provided to hold choler Dame nature iis like a Prince in the body and holds in tenure by Soccage under Almighty God and if the can expell her enemy out of her dominions doth she not doe well 4 If together with what was mentioned before there happen swelling or ringings by reason of wind under one of the sides be not too hasty to predict vomiting it is more probable to be onely bleeding at the nose 5 Bleeding at the nose in such a case usually happens to people under 30 yeares of age vomiting to such as are older 6 These presages hath Hippocrates left to posterity verified by his owne experience I have ordered them for your owne good as well as I can I haue given you the reasons of some of them because I would instruct you of others I have not because I would incourage you to study for take this for an absolute truth my writings may teach you but it is your selves must make your selves Physicians Doctor Reason told me these presages were true And Experience tells you by my penne that you shall find them so I now take my leave of you for this time and withall tell you that if you be not so free to do good to others as I am to you look to answer for it another day at the generall acount I remaine Yours to do you good whilst I remain amongst the Living Nich.
