XIX Bleeding PHlebotomie or bloudletting is an incision artificiall of a vâ—in evacuating the bloud with the rest of the humors it was first invented by the river horse inhâ—biting in Nilus that famous river of Egâ—pâ— who when he findes himself charged with overmuch bloud by rubbing his thigh against the shâ—rp banke opens a veine and discharges the sâ—perfluous bloud which he stoppeth likewise when he sees convenient time by rowling it in the thicke mud Phlebotomie is not used in children before 14 nor in old men after fourscore without great necessiâ—y also the strength of the party must be considered that the quâ—ntity of bloud evacuated may be according and if it be only for preserving of health let it be neither in sommer nor winter but in the spring time and in the morning before the day grow hot The veine in the forehead being opened is good for paine in the hinder part of the head which place first ought to be fomented with warme water The veines of the tongue are opened aslant in a squinancy without any ligatures about the neck the inner veine of the left arme is opened for disease in the lunges the liver is purged by the inner veine of the right arme the wombe by the veine under the ankle but for the gout or megrim it is not amisse to open the veine of the part affected Draw bloud from the sanguine the moone being in Taurus Virgo or Capricorne from the phlegmatick in Aries or Sagittarius from the cholerick in Cancer or Pisces from the melancholicke in Libra or Aquarius but beware you open not a veine in that part where the signe is because it hath beene often found very dangerous unlesse necessitie urge but by no meanes let it be upon a criticall day for then it is not good to administer any medicine purge or bleed as I shewed you before Three daies were observed of the antients wherein they would by no meanes let bloud the first of August the fourth of September the eleventh of March. Now bloud is let by opening of a veine for five principall respects the first is to lessen the aâ—undance of bloud as in phlethorick bodies The second is to divert as when a veine in the right Arme is opâ—ned to stay the bleeding of the left nostrill The third is to allure or drawe downe as when the sâ—phona is opened to drawe downe the courses in women The first is for alâ—eration or introduction of another quality as when in sharpe feavers a veine is opened to draw out that bloud which is hot and coole that which remaines behind The fifth is to prevent diseases as in the spring and autumne we open a vein in such as are subject to spitting of bloud squinancie plurifie falling sicknes apoplexie madnes gout or in such as are wounded to prevent inflamation Arteriotomie is the incision of an Artery and is much used now a daies chiefely in the temples and behind the eares for catarres and defluxions in the eyes breast and maladies of the head and inveterate headach CHAP. XX. BOxing or cupping is the application of some instrument either for the evacuation of some humour under the skinne or to divert the course of some humour to an other part and to draw away such things as are hurtfull to nature they are for the most part of glasse with wide bellies and are sometimes applied with scarification and sometimes without the way to apply them is thus put into the glasse a little dry flax and stick it to the bottome of the glasse with a little wax then light the flax with fire and apply the glasse to the place when the flesh is swolen up presse it about the edges and the glasse will fall off then with an incision knife scarify the place a little and apply the cupping-glâ—sses as before and draw as much bloud as shall seeme convenient then drie the place with a soft cloth and anoint it with oyle of Roses and sleepe a while after Leaches Where cupping-glasses cannot be applied there we put horseleaches as to the gums nose fingers wombe and fundament anoint the place first with the bloud of some other creature that they take hold the more egerly and apply them to the place holding them in a linnen cloth for if you handle them in your bare hand they will be stomachfull and will not bite when they are filled with bloud and fall off then either apply more leaches or else cupping-glasses to cause them to fall off you shall put some powder of aloes salt or ashes upon their heads also if you desire to know how much bloud they have sucked

Imprimatur IO HANSLEY The Marrow of Physick THE most glorious and great Workeman who excels all Wisedome and is beyond all understanding the most potent wise and mercifull Father who is the uniter of all creatures and by whom they have their being who is the most potent and most excellent being before all things and having no need of any thing but being sufficient in himself and remaining in the most unsearchable closet of his Divinity and out of his aboundant goodnesse willing to bring foorth things thought and determined on from all Eternity did in the beginning create a certain essence of things being as it were scarce fashioned into any shape which by some is called the fountain or head from whence all other things flowed by others an empty plot of earth producing nothing at all by others a Chaos by some the mother of the world the foundation of nature but certainly the first he created was four Simples which are the four Elements of one and the same essence or matter but of divers formes or qualities and these as I will shew heerafter more at large are called Fire Water Earth and Aire and out of these he created all the rest that now are both the things that are above and also those beneath us and that for this reason because the creatures intended to be made might be extracted from a certaine root whereby they might multiply and increase in the world Therefore first of all God created the four elements out of which he afterwards created what he pleased to wit divers natures as the elements are divers for if the elements had been made all of one nature then had all creatures been so likewise Now of this first matter he created the Angels which he made only of Fire not of firm substantiall fire for then it must have been necessary that they had eaten drank and slept but he made them of the most purest and thinnest part of pure thin and simple fire and therfore they neither eat drink nor sleep God created the Sun Moon and Stars of two elements Aire and Fire and therefore are the Angels more bright then either the Sun Moon or Stars because they are created of one and that the most rare element the other of Fire and Aire compounded God made the Heaven of Water and Aire so it is compounded of one rare or light element that is Aire and of another heavy that is Water but he created the Fowls and brute Beasts of three elements and also the Vegitables that is to say of Aire Water and Earth certain are of the Earth and Aire others of Fire Aire and Earth of the last are the Fowls and all things wherin remaineth a spirit of the first are the vegetables but all bruit Beasts are of Earth Aire and Fire but the Vegetables of Earth Water and Aire and they likewise partake of a kind of thin Fire brought in with the Aire and therfore when we say that Fire is in the Vegetables we mean that thin fire that being in the aire is carried by it and with it into them God made Man of the four elements as the most excellent peece of all his workmanship he made him according to his own image naturally according to his similitude spiritually and from hence the Ancients gathered that there were four worlds the first whereof was ultra mundanum which the Divines call Angelical and the Philosophers Intellectuall The next was the Celestiall The third the Sublunar which we inhabit The last was Man in whom all the rest were found whereto the Schoolmen alluding call Man the Microcosmos or lesser World in whom there is a mixture of the four elements a spirit celestiall a vegetable soul and the sence and reason of brute beasts an angelicall minde and finally the whole similitude of God Now as God hath made Man in this excellency so he hath subjected all these things under him and so fitted them to his use that there is no disease can happen to our bodies whereto the earth brings not forth a convenient medicine and from hence sprung the originall of Physick whereof divers have attained to such excellency as that they have been worshipped for Gods therefore for the further instructing of those that shall practice any of these my experiments I have thought it convenient to publish such notes as I have in my Studies gathered from the best Authours that have written concerning the laudable Science of Physicke and the Practice thereof which shall serve as a compendious Introduction to my Booke Physick defined Hippocrates called physicke an addition and a substraction an addition of things necessary and a substraction or taking away of the superfluous Wherein
he includes two principall offices of a Physitian for a disease proceeds either from too much emptinesse or from too much fulnesse The first whereof is cured by adding what is wanting end the latter by taking away that which exceedes Galen calls physicke a science of the healthfull unhealthfull and neuters which are neither well nor can properly be said to be sicke and this is made good three waies as the body as the cause and as the signe that body is counted healthfull that enjoyes his perfect health that cause is healthfull that procures health and is the meanes of preserving it The healthfull signe doth show or indicate the present health the unhealthfull body is affected with a disease which is generated by an unhealthfull cause and the manner and greatnesse of the griefe is showne by the unhealthfull signe a body is said to be neither healthfull nor sicke when it is as it were declining and cannot be said to be perfectly well nor altogether sicke But the more vulgar and common definition of physicke is this Physicke is an art which preserves health in the sound and restores it to the sicke and preserves the neuters that are neither well nor sicke and from hence it is said to be an art of things naturall not naturall and against nature the former were according to the theory these are according to the practique Things naturall doe agree with our nature and are those things whereof our body is compacted and made and are in number seven viz. Elements Temperaments Humours Members Faculties Operations and Spirits Things not naturall are those meane and indifferent things whereby the body is preserved in health and are six in number Aire Meate and Drinke Sleepe and Watching Labour and Rest Fulnesse and Emptinesse or repletion and inanition and perturbations of the minde Things against nature are those that doe destroy our health and are of three sorts A Disease the cause of a Disease and a Symptome Hereby you may understand the two parts of Physicke Theoricke and Practique and by the Theoricke know every disease and the quality thereof and by the Practique to preserve health and cure a disease by the due administration of things not naturall and by removing of those that are against nature Things naturall and which properly belong to the constitution of our body are as I said before in number seven Elements Temperaments Humours Members Faculties Actions Spirits whereto are annexed Sex Colour Composure Time or season Region Vocation of life CHAPTER I. Of Elements An Element what it is AN Element is the most least and simple portion whereof any thing is made and in the destruction thereof is lastly resolved which to say plainely the foure first and simple bodies which accommodate and subject themselves to the generation of all manner of things be the mixture perfect or imperfect Thus Aristotle called the Heaven an Element counting five parts of the world Heaven Fire Aire Water and Earth Of Elements we reckon foure whereof two are grosse and heavy and move downewards as Earth and Water and two are light and strive upwards as Fire and Aire Earth is a simple body whose naturall place is the center of the universe in which it naturally remaines solid and still round as an apple in the middle whereof as the antient Philosopher writes is the pit of hell like as the blacke kernels lyeth in the midst of the apple and at the day of doome when all things shal be renewed then shall this Element be made a thousand fold more transparent and brighter then the Christall or any pretious Stone that they that are in the bitter paines of hell to their encrease of torment shall through it behold the blisfull joyes of heaven which will be more paine to them then all the torments of hell Earth is of nature cold and dry Water is also a simple body whose naturall place is to compas the earth it is light in respect of the earth but heavie in respect of the fire and aire therefore Reolanus saith that the earth holds the lowest part because of it's heavinesse and the fire because it is absolutly light hath the highest place the aire and water because they are as it were equally heavie or light have the middle place water being heavier then the ayre lighter then the earth the nature of water is cold and moist Aire is a simple body whose naturall place is above the Water and under the Fire and is by nature hot and moist Fire is also a simple body whose naturall place is above all the elementary parts because it is a hollow superficies of the Heavens and by its absolute lightnesse striveth upward even to Heaven its nature is hot dry these are so contrary in nature that they cannot be joined without a meane which is a temperament which fals out next to be treated of CHAP. II. Of Temperaments What is a Temperament A Temperament therefore is a concord or mixture of the former disagreeing elements or a mixture of hot cold moist and drie Of these temperaments which are in number nine eight are called distemperate and one temperate The temperate is also devided either to temperature of weight or temperature of justice but we call it not a temperature to weight wherein the elements are mingled by a like heape or weight but where it is exquisitely made temperate by the equall mixture of the foure first qualities wherein no quality exceeds but wherein all equality is included and that as if it were put in a ballance it drawes downe neither to this nor that parte Secundum justitiam A temperament to justice is that which is conveniently temperate to the vse that nature hath appointed and destinated it therefore all those things that have taken from nature a mixture of the elements though unequall yet agreeable to motion and use are called temperaments secundum justitiam as if wee see any living creature that performes the functions of nature aptly and as is ought to doe we say he hath a temperament secundum justitiam according to justice The distemperate temperament is double simple and compound the simple wherin one only quality exceeds the other two contemperate as hot cold moist dry hot in which the heate hath the dominion over the cold the moist and drie being temperate cold in which the cold excels the heate the other two being temperate The compound in which two qualities exceed and this is hot and moist or hot and drie cold and moist or cold and drie for the first qualities may be joyned within themselves six manner of waies but heate cannot be joyned with cold nor moisture with drinesse because they are in themselves contrary neither can they remaine together in one subject Heere may be added the temperatures of the seasons of the yeere which are four Spring Summer Autumn and Winter and are in nature hot cold moist and drie Spring The Spring is the most temperate as being neither too cold and moist

III. Of Humours AN humour is whatsoever is moist and liquid in substance into which the nourishment is first converted in the body of living creatures endewed with bloud and is called an humour not because all of them have one and the same force of moistning but because all of them have a fluent substance For choler and melancholy according to Reolanus are drie humours humours because of their liquid consistence and drie because they have the naturall force of drying The humours are the first begotten matter out of the mixture of the four elements choler of fire phlegme of water melancholy of the earth bloud of the aire for it is hot and moist as the aire An humour is either elementary alimentary or excrementitious elementary is the purest parts of the seed alimentary is that which is generated of the nourishment in the body by the native heat and mixed in the veines by the name of bloud but not only bloud for it hath a mixture of the three other humours although the greatest part be bloud and of these are produced the second humours inominata or without name ros dew gluten which is ros condensed and cambion excrementitious which is either profitable and necessary as choler in the gall melancholy in the spleen spittle in the jawes and milke in the dugs or unprofitable as urine sweate excrement of the nose and menstruous blood The alimentary Humour as I have said which is fit to nourish the body is that humour which is contained in the veines and arteries of a man who is temperate and perfectly well in health and is knowne by the generall name of Blood which is let out at the opening of a veine though it be in divers parts of the body unlike and different for the thicke blood which is in the bottome is not an humour but is melancholy blood the light froth that swimmes on the top is not Choller but cholericke blood unlesse it be changed by nature into choller and melancholy which often it is and from the blood is knowne because being out of its vessels it will congeale but the humour never at all for blood otherwise taken is an humour of a certaine kinde destinguished by heat and warmth from the other humours comprehended with it in the whole masse of the blood Blood in
