think is not yet explained and Fracastorius had hopes indeed that this disease was in its old age in his time and that in a little while after it would cease in the alleaged place as also in his Syphilis in these Verses For when the Fates shal please again you 'l see Ere long that in dark night 't wil buried be But his hopes hath deceived him whenas now it hath lasted above a hundred and forty yeares and hath bated nothing of its cruelty as most are of opinion Others on the contrary think this disease was not epidemious but sporadical and contagious and first of al this perswades many because it hath lasted even unto these times whenas epidemious diseases which have been raised by the influx of the Stars have ceased a little while after And therefore they do not think this difease ought to be accounted for epidemical whenas it hath already lasted above 140. years unless perhaps this reason may be given for the continuance of this disease because the infection of this disease is not shunned as that of the pestilence For if the Plague begin to spread any where al people as much as they are able and 't is possible for them do fly from the conversation of the sick and reject al infected household stuff nay in Italy if the Plague begin to spread in Germany or other neighbouring Countries they stop up al publique waies and deny al strangers that are suspected any admittance into Italy But many men knowingly and willingly have to do with suspected Harlots and publique Stews ful of infected whores are tolerated therefore if the same diligence and cutiosity which is used in some places in the time of the pestilence to exclude the infected and suspected persons from the society of others were made use of to restrain that rambling whoring perhaps this disease also though it be contagious might be rooted out Yet the same men who think this disease is not epidemous but sporadical and contagious How the Veneral disease was brought into Europe are againe divided into divers opinions concerning its original For some were of that opinion that first of al it had its rise at Valentia in Hispania Tarraconensi where one sick of an Elephantiasis bought a nights lodging of a noble Whore for fifty peices of Gold and infected her and thence it came to pass that others who had to do with her were infected and so in a short time this evil was dissemmated amongst a many But the Idea of an Elephantiasis is one and of the Veneral disease another and therefore one sick of an Elephantiasis could not raise this disease Others think this disease was first brought out of India by the Spaniards into the French Army at Naples who maintame that this disease was epidemical in India of which we spake before Cap. 1. But for what reason 't is epidemious in some Countries in India whether by the fault of the aire or water or provision is not yet explained by Historians Leonbardus Fioravanti Leonhardus Fioravanti his opinion of the Veneral disease a famous Empirick in his time in Italy hath a peculiar opinion of the original of this disease which I have met withal in no other writer For he in his book written in the Italian Tongue which is entituled Capricci Medicinali di M. Leonardo Fioravanti Libritre writes thus of the original of this disease both amongst the Indians and in the French Army at Naples lib. 1 Cap. 26. When saith he there was War between the French and Spaniard at Naples and there was great want of provision especially of flesh those evil imployed merchants who brought victuals to the Camp had privately prepared the Carkasses of dead souldiers into divers kinds of meates and dishes and sold them every where about to the army which flesh whanas they had eat of it a long time ignorantly most of them were taken with this disease and became ful of pustles and paines and many also had their hair fal off and he writes that he knowes the business was so from one Paschalis Gibilotius a Neapolitan an old man of ninety eight yeares of age who hath told him that at that time when John the Son of Renatus Duke Andegavensis waged war against Alphonsus King of Naples about the yeare 1456. that he hath often heard from his father who was such a Merchant in the Army of King Alphonsus that in want and scarcity of victuals the Souldiers on both sides by eating of mans flesh which they fed on for a long time contracted this disease and the same Fioravanti adds that he might be the more certain of this business he bred up a Sow in his house and added to al her meat somewhat of hogs flesh and that within few dayes her bristles and hairs fel off and she became ful of pustles then that he fed a dog for two months only with dogs flesh which afterwards became ful of pains and pustles and lost his hair From which experiments he concludes that every living creature if it be nourisht with the flesh of its own species wil be taken with this disease which at this day is called the French and he thinks this is the very cause that this drsease is epidemious in the Indies because there are those man-eaters which do feed on mans flesh But truly I do wonder that so many Italians and French who have writ of this disease have made no mention of this cause neither does the relation of that old Neapolitan seem to fit with the time For that disease was not known in the year 1456. at which time John the Son of Renatus Duke Andegavensis waged War against Alphonsus King of Naples but in the War which Charles the eight King of France waged with Alphonsus King of Naples about the yeare 1493 or 94. then grant it be that if a creature nourisht with the flesh of those of its own kind be taken with pustles and pains and suffer the falling off of the hair yet the question stil would be whether that disease be the very Veneral disease and such as may be transfered by contagion to others and especially by Venery For the essence of the veneral disease doth not consist in pustles and the failling of the hair but in an occult malignity by which also its ulcers do differ from other ulcers Yet it is easy for any one to make tryal of that which Fioravanti experienced And if the business should be confirmed by experience that if an animal nourisht with the flesh of its kind do contract this disease thence a reason may be rendered why this disease is endemious to the people of India to wit because its inhabitants do feed on mens flesh although here we meet with a doubt for al the people of India are not men-eaters and therefore we must enquire out of the Histories of the Indies whether this disease be endemious amongst the men-eaters only or amongst the other people of
