periosteum that which covers the braine pan is called the pericranion which covers the braine is called the mevinx that which covers the ribs and the contained parts as the heart lights and aspera arteria is a proper coate and is called a compassing membrane that which containes the naturall parts and gives to every one his proper coat is called peritoneum and from these the parts have feeling for if you scrape the periosteum from the bone you may cut the bone burn it or any thing without any paine Skinne The skin is the greatest of all the membranes it is the coat covering all the body except such places by which any excrements are evacuated as the eies eares nose privities fundament mouth and ends of the fingers where the nailes grow it is the sluce of the whole body through which it is purged by sweat from all fulginous excrements of substance it is spermaticke for being once lost it cannot be restored as formerly it was but there remaines a skar which is nothing els but flesh dried beyond measure it takes its feeling from the nerves of which together with veines and arteries it is composed and is by nature cold and drie ordained for to keep safe and sound the continuity of the whole body and all the parts thereof from the violent assault of all externall dangers Simple flesh Simple flesh may be seene in the gummes and ends of the fingers the flesh of a muscle is very like these â—ut it is not simple in the pâ—ppes and stones it is called gludulous flesh and the substance of the heart and liver is called flesh but improperly Fat Fat and flesh proceed both from one and the same matter that is blood the difference is that flesh comes of blood heate and overdried the fat from cold by a certaine congealing or growing together of membranes it is of a middle temper betweene heat and cold although it may seeme cold in respect of the efficient cause that is of cold by which it concreates in the joynts is another sort of fat farre more solid and hard then the former and it is mixed with a viscid humour tough like the whites of Egs that it may for a good space moisten those parts which are subject to much drines by their continuall motion another kinde of fat is called seame Seame which is much dryer then ordinary fat and lyes principally about the midriffe where there are many windings of arteries and veines it lyes also about the reines loynes and basis of the heart Compound members Those parts are called compound which are made and composed by the mediation or immediately of the simple which they terme otherwise organicall or instrumentall as an Arme Leg Hand Foote and others of that kinde the simple parts cannot be devided into any particles but of the same kinde but the compound may they are called instrumentall and organicall because they performe such actions of themselves as serves for the preservation of themselves and the whole body as the eye by it selfe not assisted by any other part seeth and by his faculty defends the whole body and also it selfe In each instrumentall part we observe foure properties One by which the action is properly performed as the Christaline humour in the eye The Second without which the action cannot be perfomed as the nerve the other humors of the eye The Third whereby the action is better and more conveniently done as the tunicles and muscles The Fourth by which the action is preserved as the eye-lid and circle of the eye The same we say of the hand as First by the muscle Secondly by the ligament Thirdly by the bones and nailes Fourthly by the veines arteries and skinne Instrumentall parts The instrumentall parts have a fourefold order those that are immediately composed of the simple are of the first order as the muscles and vessels they are of the second that consist of the first simple and others besides as the fingers they are of the third that are composed of the second order and others besides as the hand in generall The fourth order is the whole body the instrument of the soule In all these parts whether simple or compound we doe consider nine things Substance Quantity Figure Composition Number Connexion Temperature Action and Use Amongst the organicall parts there is three principall parts governing all the rest viz. the Braine Heart and Liver because from them some force power or faculty proceeds and flowes over the whole body when as there is no such sent from any other part To these some adde the testicles not for that they are of necessity of the individuall or peculiar body but for generation and preservation of the species Herein we may see the industry of nature who like a good Architect seeks not only to build and furnish her fabricke with all kinde of materialls necessary by which the body may live but also she hath furnished it with the testicles thereby to make it immortall because hereby every one may substitute another in his place before he depart this world The veines arteries and nerves are the first simple instrumentall parts the veines Veines spring all from the liver the arteries Arteries from the heart except only the vena arteriosa which hath its originall from the eight ventricle of the heart it is called vena arteriosa Vena arteriosa compositively therefore is not reckoned amongst the simple instrumentall parts for it is called a veine because it distributes alimentary blood to the lungs and arterious because like an artery it consists of two coates all the rest consist but of one coate knit together with a triple kinde of fibres and this veine hath two principall cavities one by which the Chylus is carried to the liver and is called vena porta Vena porta or the gate veine the other by which the blood made out of the Chylus is dispersed amongst all the members for nourishment and is called vena cava Vena cava the hollow veine The gate veine hath its originall in the blunt end or lower end of the liver and there it spreads its rootes The hollow veine beginneth in the gibbous part of the liver The truncke of the gate veine is divided into two principall branches the one is splenicus which is carried to the spleene the other is mesentericus which goes to the mesentery it hath other small slips that nourish the most part of the lower belly and take their names from the parts they nourish as that which nourishes the ventricle is called grastica intestinalis that nourishes the intestines cistica which brings nourishment to the bladder of the gall from the mesentery branch spring small slips to the right gut which makes the hemorroids The truncke of the hollow veine is also divided into two branches one is carried upwards to nourish the superiour parts another is carried downward to nourish the inferiour An artery differs from a veine because it consists of two

BRUGIS THE Preface to the Reader Gentle Reader THE chiefest thing that induced me to publish these collections was besides the earnest intreaty of divers intimate friends a principall aime at my countries good and these I have the rather adventured to divulge because there are contained many receits by me daily practised and therefore need no Probatum to be annexed with divers varieties not published by any heretofore which I hope will be to the great benefit of all such as shall have occasion to practise any thing heerin contained where I strive not to set forth an eloquent and lofty stile as if it were some fancy delighting history but a plaine way to helpe â—he poorer sort Seeing therefore that I here produce a thing serious and for the generall good I hope the Readers hereof will vouchsafe me such countenance as is usuall in serious weights and most necessary occasions some men perhaps will thinke that nothing good or secret will be put in Print because these kinde of bookes are very difficult to be published in English others againe knowing such things would be loath to publish them and make the secrets of their science common but I am rather of the Grecians minds who once a yeare writ in the Temple of Aesculapius all the cures they had performed and by what remedies and I think with Aristotle that a good thing is the better the more common it is and as Cicero saith we are not borne to our selves nor should we have regard to our owne particular profit in keeping the secrets of Physick so close for a great number of people perish for want of meanes to procure the advise of a Physitian when perhaps with a little instructions they might have cured themselves but we are to consider the generall good and commodity of our country and commonwealth for in Italy France and other countries scarce any Physitian but hath published some booke in his mother tongue and rather then in any other language In this booke I have for thy better instruction first collected a short introduction to lead thee into the method course that thou oughtest to observe next I have shewed the manner of making and compounding all such medicaments as will be usefull in a private house with the nature and vertue of every receipt which those that have formerly published some of these have failed to do here also are inserted divers secrets for Beauties such as have never before been published next I have added a briefe way of conserving and preserving which by the Grace of God I shall inlarge in the next impression and lastly I have added all such medicines as cannot be justly brought into the number of oiles Vnguents Plaisters Poultisses Waters Powders c. And that I call a Miscellanea or Hotâ—hpotch neither needest thou to marvaile because I have beene more curious in prescribing the sundry curations of diseases then in unfolding the nature of them for if my booke come amongst the illiterate let me make it the best waies that can be devised yet it will not suffice and the learned will not be content were it never so big therefore I strive by diversity of medicines to fit every complexion and make every man cunning in his owne constitution and to know so much as will cure many ordinary and common diseases which often fasten upon the ignorant and to chase away a malady that hath caught hold on their bodies for a Physition is not alwaies at hand nor Apothecary ever to be had whereby many have perished but a little knowledge may prevaile in the beginning of an infirmity as for suâ—h things as are very chargeable to be made unlesse a great quantity be compounded I thinke it will be better to store thy self at the Apothecaries I wâ—ll not stand to amplifie my selfe because all that
armes riding stirres the belly calling and speaking loude exercises the lungs To the exercise of the body may also be added rubbings and frictions which have been in greater esteeme then now they are and were used in stead of exercises to such bodies as for weakenesse cold use no other they were performed either with the hands sponges or hard linnen clothes which if seldome used do harden and condensate the flesh but if often they attenuate rarifie and waste it Now as there are many conveniences by exercise used indue quantity quality and time so is there many inconveniences and dangers proceeding of rest and idlenesse as crudities obstructions stones in the reines and bladder goutes apoplexy and sundry others and it not only dulleth the principall instruments of our body but also of our minde CHAP. XII Of sleeping and waking What sleepe is SLeepe is a rest and quietnesse of the whole body and the cessation of the spirits and faculty animall from sense and motion fortifying the strength helping digestion and correcting the passions of the minde it is caused when the braines are possessed with vapours that ascend which by the coldnesse of the braines are turned into humours which close the conduits of the nerves for when we are waking the animall fâ—culties as sence motion and all are at worke but when we are sleeping the natural functions are better performed because the heate goes into the bowells where by is made digestion which cannot be made by sleepe in the day so well for the Sunne drawes the heate and spirits into the outward part of the body Sleepe in the day is hurtfull and therefore sleep in the day is counted hurtful because being wakened by noise or by the attraction of the spirits by the Sun the concoction begunne is not perfected but the stomacke filled with crudities and sower belchings the braine filled with grosse vapours and excrementitious humidities and is the cause of divers sickenesses as catarrhes c. But though sleepe in the night time be counted and esteemed wholesome yet except it be restrained within certaine limits it will prove otherwise therefore eight houres is sufficient for longer time hinders the evacuation of the excrements both upwards and downwards and the naturall heate which is never idle drawes from them some ill vapour into the veines and principall parts of the body to become some matter for a disease How to sleepe Also in our lying downe to sleepe we must observe this rule first to lye one our right side that the meat may fall more easily into the bottome of the stomacke which is hotter about an houre after is good to turne on the left side that so the liver mâ—y with its lobes as with hands imbrace the ventricle and as a fire under a Furnace may hasten digestion lye in no wise on your face nor on your backe for the first causeth defluxions in the eyes the other inflammations in the reines and stone palsies convulsions and all diseases that proceed from the spinall marrow neither must we lye with our hands under our head for that causeth defluxions of humours on the lights nor sleepe soone after meate painefull sleeping in sickenesse is no good signe but altogether dangerous not painefull is a good token Dreames By dreames we often know the humour that hath dominion and is superfluous in the body for the sanguine dreames are of marriages mirth dancings gardens and things pleasant and libidinous Cholericke dreames are fiery bright shining burning full of noise and contention Phlegmaticke dreames are cold of flouds snowes waters showers and falling from high places Melancholicke dreames are sad of caves prisons thicke darkenesse smoakes and dismall things Waking Much waking corrupteth the braine and hurts the temperature thereof debilitateth the senses alters the spirits moveth crudities breedeth heavinesse of the head falling away and wasting of the flesh and dissipateth the naturall heat and maketh ulcers very rebellious and difficult to heale CHAP. XIII Of Repletion and Inanition Of fulnesse REpletion or fulnesse is made two waies either in quantity or in quality in quantity the body being distended with too much meate drinke and humours and in so great a quantity that nature cannot overcome from whence proceed infinite sorts of maladies in quality when the meat exceedeth without any defluxion or society of any humour fulnesse in quantity is either Repletio ad vasa or ad vires fulnesse to the vessels as when the stomacke and veines are so full that they are distended and stretched that some are forced to vomit up againe that which they have taken in so great quantity fulnesse to the strength is when the body is loaded with more meats than it can well beare or the vertue force or faculty thereof digest There is also a fulnesse of humours caused sometimes by one humour sometimes by all when it is by one humour it is called cacochymia that is an evill juice whether it proceed from a chollericke phlegmaticke melancholicke or serous humour fulnesse that is caused by all the humours is called plethora by the Greekes in Latine plenitude because it is an equall excesse of all the humours Witnesse what it is Inanition or evacuation is the expulsion of humours excrements which are troublesome either in quantity or quality and this is either universâ—lly or particularly the universall evacuation is the cleansing of the whole body from superfluous humours by purging vomiting sweating opening a veine scarification friction bathing c. the particular evacuation is only by evacuating and purging some one part as the braine is discharged by the nose pallat eyes and eares the lights by spitting the stomacke by vomiting the intestines by stoole the liver spleene kidneyes and bladder by urine and this is done either naturally or artificially the Physitions art helping nature to performe it Evacuation Evacuation is very necessary to prevent diseases because excrements are the originall of divers therefore it is chiefly commanded that the body be purged exonerated some excrements are good which are only in quantity excrements as seed and menstruous blood others are altogether unprofitable which are excrements both in quantity and quality as sweat urine and ordure which are as I have shewed you generall and the evacuation of the braine which is particular First therefore the retention of the seed doth acquire the force of poison in the body as it happens in young widdowes that suffer suffocation in the wombe so likewise the overmuch flowing thereof hurts the body as much for they had as good lose so much bloud this you may perceive in sparrows which scarce are known to live above two yeares and the males lesse therefore whosoever desire to preserve their health Vener let them not use venery but only to satisfie nature that is for necessity not for pleasure also those that are melancholicke and cholerick are more prejudiced hereby then the phlegmatick or sanguine for the phlegmatick are freed from many diseases because the
