hurt by breathing in of cold air Of cold the respiration in those who have cold Lungs is little hot that is less cold and is a friend to breathing also in cold Lungs many excrements are gathered together which are sometimes cast out by coughing sometimes by spitting only Dry Lungs-collect not many excrements Dry. and therefore hath no need to cast up any by cough or spittle Moist Lungs on the contrary gather many excrements and therefore between whiles in speaking Moist 't is necessary to spit often The woice also is shewen by the constitution of the Lungs and Wind-pipe Signs by the voice a great voice and vehemency of efflation shews a wide Wind-pipe and heat of the Lungs a small voice shews the contrary the Wind-pipe rightly constituted causeth a smooth even voice a sharp voice but joined with clearnesse signifies driness of the Wind-pipe a sharp voice with hoarsness and obscurity proceeds from a plentiful humor moistning the Arteries and rather belongs to a preter-natural constitution then a natural a sharp voice shewes narrowness of the throat and consequently coldness of the Wind pipe on the contrary a great voice shewes wideness of the top of the Wind-pipe and therefore signifies heat strong from their infancy Book III. PART I. SECT I. OF URINES CHAP. I. Of the abuse of inspection of Vrines AFter we have spoken of those things which are to be known about the constitution of a sound body The vulgar opinion of Inspection of Urine now we are to speak of the knowledge of things contrary to nature but because amongst signes Urine and Pulse do arise from the fountain we will speak of them in the first place and first for what belongs to Urine although a false opinion is deeply seated in the minds of many that by the inspection of Urine alone and wholly the state and condition of the sick and what ill he suffers either within or without from what cause soever may be known and whether the sick be a man or woman whether a woman be great with child or not yet such like are beyond the power of the Art of Physick by the Urine to divine In the mean time the Inspection of Urine is profitable but as Hypocrates also 1. Aphor. 12. teacheth that Urine may teach many things of the condition of a disease but that there may be a right judgment of Urine the differences and causes of the differences are to be known CHAP. II. Of the differences of Urine and first of the substance of Urine FIrst in Urine too things are to be considered The substance af Vrine in regard of the substance thereof the liquor and that which is contained in the liquor In the liquor again two things the Consistence and the Choller First for the Consistence some are thick Consistence of Vrine Thin Vrine some are thin others indifferent That Urine is thin which for the most part consists of watry and potulent matter but of serous and salt matter that which is separated in the Veins and Liver or of another humor which hath little or no mixture with it On the contrary Thick a thick Urine is that which contains much mixture of serous and salt humidity or also of other humors Indifferent The middle is that which hath so much of that serous excrement and aqueous humidity mixt with it as for the most part is wont to be in a natural constitution of the body Moreover some Urines are clear others troubled Troubled and thick Vrine no the same Troubled or foul those are troubled through which the sight cannot passe but 't is not the same thing for Urine to be thick and troubled when as other liquors so Urines also are accounted thick which neverthelesle are cleare and perspicuous but a clear Urine is either made clear and so remains or else 't is made clear and afterwards is troubled which is properly called troubled Urine but troubled Urine properly so called is that which is made so and either remains such which Urine commonly is called subjugal which is like the contents of the Urine or is made foul or troubled and afterwards become cleare and becomes so afterwards as is spoken Moreover in respect of the colour there are accounted several differences but the principal colours according to which the Urines differ are six First white secondly pale thirdly flame colour fourthly yellow fifthly red sixthly black First to the white Urines belong the aqueous White Urine which bare the colour of pure water then those which represent thin wine or fair water into which is cast a little Oker or Choller as also snowy Urine which represents the whiteness of snow as also milkey and light gray or such as represents the colour of clear horn The second is pale like the colour of Oker Pale or subpallid which is seen in water tinckted with Oker but some call these Urines spicious or the colour of ears of corn Straw colour Flame colour and subspicious and compare this colour to the colour which is seen in chaff that is old or in straw The third colour is flame colour such as is that of a Citron and in fire burning clear which if it be more remiss 't is called subfulgent Actuarius calls these golden Urines and subaureous because they are like gold Fourthly Yellow the next and neerest to this fulgent is yellow yet so differing from it that this inclines more to white Brighter yellow that is more shining and splendid or neer to the colour and splendor of the Stars that which is not so deep but clearer then yellow is called subflavous Actuarius calls these colours croceous or saffron colours or subcroceous such as are in waters wherein saffron or whilde saffron flowers are mixed The fifth colour or red whereof Galen makes three sorts Red. and places red in the middle extream red the highest and reddish the lowest and those he places in Bole-Almonack and Vermilion and red in Cherries and Apples others make four differences and first they place the colour that is a mixt red such as is the hair of those who are said to be red hair'd which again is distinguished into red and reddish the second is Rosie the third purpurious the forth sanguineous To these Actuarius joines a vine coloured Urine Vine colour which represents the colour of a red Urine inclinable to black to this be addes the colour of dry grapes like new Wine out of doubt of red Wine boiled to the third part Blakish or which is prest out of dried Grapes or of Cherries inclining to a black colour Moreover there is a black Urine Black Urine under which some-Physitians comprehend more colours green yellow black and such like although there be innumerable differences of green plants yet two here are the chiefe Leek-colour which is seen in the blades of Leeks Eruginous and Eruginous which is like Verdy-grease and yellow which
