A08912	The method of curing vvounds made by gun-shot Also by arrowes and darts, with their accidents. Written by Ambrose Parie of Laual, counsellor and chiefe chirurgean to the French King. Faithfully done into English out of the French copie, by Walter Hamond chirurgean.; Methode de traicter les playes faictes par hacquebutes et aultres bastons à feu. English	Paré, Ambroise, 1510?-1590.; Hamond, Walter, fl. 1643.	1617 (1617)	STC 19191; ESTC S100857	68,060	147

whosoeuer should follow his I am well assured he will open often both the heauens and the earth the heauens to receiue their soules and the earth their bodies But wee haue spoken enough of this matter for this time inasmuch as I am well assured that these small caui●lations shall nothing at all diminish the reputation of my Booke which is by strangers so much esteemed that they haue translated it into their owne mother tongues therby to haue communication therewith Therefore now we wil bid our Physitian farewell but first would pray him to review and correct his Booke as soone as he could to the end that the yong Chirurgean bee no longer retained in those errours which they may apprehend by reading therein for the shortest follioes are the best CHAP. XVI Another Discourse about the question of the venenosity of wounds made by Gunshot NOt many moneths since I chanced to bee in the company of many learned Physitians and expert Chirurgeans who by way of discourse began to put the venenosity of woundes made by Gun-shot they principally striuing by fiue Reasons to proue that venenosity may bee conioined with those woundes not because of the powder which they confesse with mee to be free from venome or poison both in the composition and essence thereof but by reason of the bullet within the which poyson may be infused mixed and incorporated The first reason is because that Leade is verie rare and spongeous as the facility of the dissoluing and softnesse thereof do shew and therfore by consequence very easie to receiue the imbibition or infusion of any venomous liquor I answer that that consequence seemeth to me to bee but of small assurance for in all artificiall mixtions as is that whereof we speake there are two things to be considered the matter of the bodies which enter into the commixtion and the forme according to the matter Such bodies ought eyther to be liquid or soft or brittle and easie to bee diuided into small portions to the end that altogither and on euery part they may meete ioy●e and vnite According to the forme they ought to be alliable and computible th' one with the other This is euidently knowne by the water which though it be easie to mix with an infinit number of other things yet neuerthelesse they cannot bee mixed together by the reason of the antipathy of their formes So Golde and Siluer are so amorous of Lead that when they are to bee dissolued they are mingled therewith but Brasse doth flye from Lead as much as gold and siluer do fly from Tin If therefore Lead and Brasse be melted together they can by no meanes be mixed together thogh both are contained vnder Metallicke kinds How then can there be incorporated with Lead any venomous thing being different both in forme and kinde Let vs come to the second reason Iron they say which is more hard solid and compact may neuerthelesse receiue a certaine venomous quality as we see by impoysoned Arrowes whereof our Ancestors haue heeretofore vsed and therefore Lead by more reason may receiue the like venomous quality To answere to that I confesse that the poyson may well bee receiued on the superficies of the Iron but not in the inwarde substance thereof by way of commixtion Now here the question is of incorporation and not of a simple infusion or Vnction Let vs heare the third reason Although that Lead say they when it is melted doeth leaue behinde it a kinde of grosse excrement neuerthelesse it is not therfore made vnapt to receiue the infusion of any straunge substance For euen as steele a mettall amongst all others the most solid doeth receiue in the woorking thereof a temper which doeth harden it of a cleane contrarie substance For answer I say that when the temper is giuen to steele it is not receiued within the inw●rd substance thereof for if such a thing were necessary for the hardning thereof it might bee easier done at that time when it is first drawn and melted then to giue it the Temper it would better incorporate therewith then afterwards when it is taken and consolidate into a barre This answer shall likewise serue to confute the fourth reason by the which say they that the iuice of Napellus and Rhododendron of Apium risus and such like who of their whole substance do hurt corrupt ours beeing mingled with Lead there may thereby be made such a venomous commixtion that those wounds which it maketh must of nec●ssity become venomous I say to the contrarie that the mixture is only of things which may not onely be applyed but also fixed incorporated vnited the one to the other Now how can water or any other liquid iuyce only be made to adhere and cleaue to Lead which is hard solid I meane in that fashion that they may be vnited the variety heereof may bee iudged better by experience then by reason Cause Lead to be melted within the iuices heretofore recited or any other that you will choose hauing first weighed them seuerally and you shall finde the iust measure of the iuices and the true waight of the Lead as they were before a most euident signe that no part of the Lead is incorporated with the iuyces nor the iuyces to haue lost any of their substance The first reason is this The Bullet shot out of a Musket against a stone or any bodye of the like hardnesse is not thereby so much heated but that it may neuerthelesse be handled in the bare hand though it be taken presently after it was shot and therefore it is false to affirme that the poyson infused in the Bullet may be consumed by the fire of the flaming powder I answer you must note that when I said that although the Bullet may be handled neuerthelesse the fire would consume the force of the poyson my meaning was not the fire of the flaming powder when the Musket is shot off but that fire which is vsed to incorporate the molten Lead with the sayde poyson the which immediately working vpon the poyson being not yet wholly enwrapped and couered in any strāge body and hauing time and leysure to worke that effect and not at an instant and altogither it may if not consume yet at the least greatly abate the forces of the said poyson Those that wil not content themselues with these reasons let them read Matthiolus vppon the Preface of his sixt Booke of Di●scorides There are sayth he of late men so ignorant and fool●sh that they do cause to cast amongst their Gold and Siluer when it is melted wherewith they intend to make any drinking vessell●s of Treacle Methridate and other Antidotes to the end these mettals hauing acquired euen at the beginning the vertues of the aforesaid Antidotes may resist all poisons But howe ridiculous and foolish this opinion is they thēselues may iudge if they haue but any mean knowledge of
