A02758	Klinike, or The diet of the diseased· Divided into three bookes. VVherein is set downe at length the whole matter and nature of diet for those in health, but especially for the sicke; the aire, and other elements; meat and drinke, with divers other things; various controversies concerning this subject are discussed: besides many pleasant practicall and historicall relations, both of the authours owne and other mens, &c. as by the argument of each booke, the contents of the chapters, and a large table, may easily appeare. Colellected [sic] as well out of the writings of ancient philosophers, Greeke, Latine, and Arabian, and other moderne writers; as out of divers other authours.

of the stomacke at night with too great a quantity of food will both procure unquiet rest and troublesome dreames And severall constitutions of body produce often dreames answerable thereunto as the sanguine dreameth often of all pleasant things greene medowes and gardens c. The cholericke of fire and the like Such as are much subject to wind of much flying aloft and the like and so of the rest as may from the premisses easily be collected And now concerning dreames so faire as they are observable in sicknesse and in health this shall suffice Now to give some satisfaction to the curious Reader I will say something concerning a point depending upon the former and that is concerning such as during their naturall sleepe yet performe such actions as are commonly performed by such as are awake to the no small astonishment and amazement of the beholders and are called therefore Noctambuli or night-walkers Of these actions then thus performed our Writers assigne this cause When as by the mediocrity of causes procuring sleepe wee fall into sweet and comfortable rest the discerning faculty notwithstanding being over-clouded with thicke misty vapors the efficient cause of Fancies and dreames without any let or disturbance enjoying its full freedome and liberty then of such things as the party being awake either felt thought or by practice put in execution this fancying faculty composeth many sorts of visions or dreames the which by the sleeping party are taken for truths and hence commeth it often to passe that at length the bonds of the senses passages of the spirits and impediments of motion being removed they performe workes proper to those that are awake as to climbe up to the tops of houses to walke upon narrow beames and bridges and many other such actions without any feare or danger which if they were awake they durst never doe and all this by reason this discerning facultie of the common sense is yet at rest not acknowledging nor discerning any danger unlesse by loud houping and crying the party be awaked out of sleep If they be suddenly awaked then are they in danger of sudden precipitation or falling downe head long all the spirits and powers of the body then leaving the extreme parts hands and feet and flying to succour the feeble heart now assaulted with no small feare A late Writer averreth that this commeth to passe by reason of hot and vaporous spirits arising from a commotion and heat of the blood which being carried aloft into the seat of the minde doth incite and stirre up that faculty of the soule by which it performeth its actions and by which it doth impell the instrumentary parts to their actions to produce such motion and stupendious effects as are often by such persons performed Hence also commeth it to passe that if these vaporous and flatuous fumes be not strong and violent enough to produce the former effects then the parties doe but stirre or start up in their sleepe uttering some lowd cries and turbulent speeches yet still conteining themselves within the bed The same author addeth that such persons are most commonly of a thinne and leane constitution of body and of a low stature and such as have hot braine as for the most part cholericke persons have saith Hippocrates are most apt to cry out in their sleepe and are much subject to motion and agitation therein especially if in the day time their braines be much encumbred and busied with many matters Such especially be our busie bodies who will needs have an oare in every mans boat and oftentimes more imploied about other mens affaires than carefull to looke home to their owne businesse But of this now sufficient CHAP. XXVIJ Of the Soule and of the passions thereof in generall THe noble painter Apelles after he had drawne that curious picture of Venus fastened the whole frame with a peg or pinne the which being pulled out the whole frame fell in pieces and in the top of this peg he drew his owne picture even so it seemeth the Almighty God after he had made the whole frame of this universe at length as a conclusion and closing up of his whole worke he made man the noblest of all the rest of his creatures for whom all the rest were made and stamped on him his owne glorious image by the inspection whereof the workman himselfe might be knowne This noble creature which we may justly call the microcosme or little world man is composed of a double substance whereof the one is terrestriall composed of the elements whither after a season it must returne againe which we call the body the which without the other more noble part which wee call the soule is but a dead carcase as may after the separation of these two loving friends plainly appeare Now this soule is of a more sublime and celestiall substance neither composed of any elementary substance nor yet ever to be dissolved into the same not ingendred and therefore incorruptible and immortall And as by the body wee take as it were roore in the earth so by the soule againe wee take hold of Heaven and glorifie our Lord and maker and this was the principall end of our creation being then at our first framing fitted for so high and sublime imployment and all the faculties of our soules being then bent upon our God his honour and glory wherein was then placed mans chiefe felicity and pleasure But afterwards this so noble a creature by the subtile Serpents perswasion rebelled and tooke up armes against his Lord and Master and so forfeited that great and glorious estate by which meanes both the soule that sublime and celestiall substance and all the powers and faculties of the same are now become sinfull prone to evill and averse from any good Now this same soule although in the estate of innocency yet was not without certaine powers or affections as love joy anger feare the which affections or powers the soule now by sinning hath now not lost but are become altogether sinfull and evil and called now in sinful man animi pathemata seu perturbationes the passions or perturbations of the mind the which exorbitant affections as they are displeasing to the Almighty God so are they many times very hurtful to health and in sicknesse are oft the causes of no small mischief to the patient for the which cause it shall not be amisse to say something of them being especially ranked among these six things not naturall having already handled the five former resting now this sixth and last The Stoickes indeed would have brought in a certaine apathie or blockish stupidity among men whereby they should be as it were insensible and not affected with any thing whatsoever which wee altogether disclaime Now as concerning the diversitie of opinions and some controversie betwixt Physitians and Philosophers or betwixt Philosophers themselves concerning the seat and place of residence of these affections or passions as not being so pertinent for

commonly accounted in every country the best which we breathe in in the morning the next about noone the worst of all about night and especially after Sunne-setting which in many countries proves very pernitious which that noble and valorous Knight Sir Walter Raleigh found too true on the coast of Africke with the losse and hazard of the lives of many worthy generous Gentlemen And the French are very jealous of this night-aire which they call la serene Divers other things concerning the aire especially of the sicke and diseased together with the best and most commodious situation of houses I reserve to its proper place hereafter and now proceed to the winds for the affinity they have with the aire CHAP. V. Of the severall sorts of Winds and their various effects AS Elias his little cloud no bigger than a mans hand yet at length so over-spred the face of the whole heavens that it distilled downe abundance of sweet comfortable showres to the fructifying of the hard yronic earth which had been so long deprived of these sweet refreshing showres so these small dry exhalations of how little esteeme soever they may at first seeme to bee yet wee see what prodigious and stupendious effects they often produce having their warrant sealed by the great God of heaven and earth Now whether thou please to call these vapors or exhalations by the name of wind or whether this wind be an aire tossed to and fro it is not much materiall for our purpose in hand my desire being altogether averse from wrangling about words Now because the wind doth not a little alter the body of man as well in sicknesse as in health it shall not be out of purpose to say something concerning this subject and the opinion of Plato is that where the winds are very various and boisterous the people of that countrey for the most part prove crabbed and untoward and the winds have ever beene esteemed to carry a great pre-eminence both over the bodies and mindes of men Winds then in the generall are of two sorts common and sudden or such as blow suddendly or at unawares called repentini such as wee call common are such as blow out of certaine parts of the world or else at certaine times or seasons Such as we call sudden are winds which neither blow from any one determinate or certaine quarter of the earth nor yet at any one certaine and determinate time These common winds are of foure sorts answering to the foure corners of the world and againe betwixt each of these two extremes are other two inserted making up the number of twelve in all and are very well described by the Latin Poet. Aetius out of the antient Mariners reckoneth up the number of the winds and yet mentioneth onely 12 in all which he ascribeth to the 12 signes of the Zodiack Our moderne Mariners have by their compasse observed 32 severall winds in severall tracts of the sea Neither ought so great a number of winds seeme strange to any since that the antients observed 24 severall sorts of winds as witnesseth Vitruvius Whereunto Agricola doth also agree And it may be more winds may yet be observed so that the number of the winds may by this meanes be infinite by reason these exhalations when they are ingendred may arise out of any region whatsoever and so according to the nature and situation of the place thorow which they passe their effects are various and that wind which is propitious and benigne to one country or place may in another place produce a contrary effect The South wind saith Holler is very unhealthfull to all Italy as also to most Northerne countries and yet to Africa this wind is most comfortable insomuch that what refreshing other countries feele by the Etesian or Easterly winds the like benefit reape the Africans by the benefit of this South wind Zephyrus or the Western wind is generally with us reputed a milde and gentle wind and yet in Gasconie saith Scaliger it never blowes without the great terror or amazement of the inhabitants of that country Hippocrates therefore observing this variety and multiplicity of winds wisheth Physitians onely to observe foure and for the most part hee mentioneth but two as being the principall the South and the North. And so Hali abbas and Avicenne when they have mentioned 12 yet at length pitch upon these foure principall winds chiefly of a Physitian to be observed These foure chiefe principall winds then are divided into land-winds and sea-winds Land-winds I call such as blow from the land and sea-winds such as blow from the sea The land-winds againe are of two sorts either common or else proper and peculiar to some one country as the North-westwind to the Athenians and the South-wind to Provence in France Galen makes the South-wind of two sorts one hot and moist cloudy and rainy and another hot and dry clearing the cloudy and muddy aire The former of the two proves often the author of great mischiefe to these our Northerne cold countries as namely of that fearefull plague of pestilence and divers other dangerous and epidemicall diseases whereon in this place to insist were too tedious In generall it is the most unhealthfull wind that blowes in our climat as I hold the Northerly wind to be our best friend although some would have the Easterne wind which bloweth directly from the Equinoctiall line to be the healthfullest wind for our climat It may be because they blow in most countries in the heat of sommer about the canicular daies and so qualifie the extreme scorching heat of the time whereof frequent mention is made by Hippoccrates who doth often also prognosticate the approching of diseases by the blo●ing of these winds called Etesiae Now concerning maritime or winds blowing from the sea Celsus holdeth them to be very hurtfull to the health of man the which opinion many others have imbraced And the more they are confirmed in this opinion by Aristotle himselfe affirming all those creatures which have their being and living in this watry element to be of a shorter continuance than those that live upon the land but this opinion is againe contradicted by others his owne expositor being of another minde for the sea being warme in winter and cold in summer yet alwaies temperate yea even in the opinion of the Philosopher himselfe it must of necessity follow that the wind which bloweth that way and often also hath from thence its originall doth partake of the like qualities Now these qualities being temperately hot and moist of all other are the fittest to maintaine in perfect health the body of man And hence commeth it to passe that Galen affirmeth that the maritime parts of Thracia in it selfe a cold country are much warmer than the more inward parts of the land and on the other side againe the maritime

so sure a way that we may alwaies trust to it these waters being often of so subtile a nature that they draw nothing but as it were the spirituous qualitie from these solid substances In generall it is to be observed that those which abound in brimstone and bitume are all of a loosening and mollifying nature and doe therewith affect both the stomacke and the liver But such as partake more of the nature of yron alum copper or plaster doe too much condensat and shut up the pores of the skinne by which meanes it commeth to passe that no excrement can thereby be excluded But such as participate of both these extremes are accounted the best and their use alwaies safest for they digest discusse yet alwaies reserving intirely the strength and naturall vigor of all the parts of the body But before I proceed to handle divers particulars concerning these minerall waters I must here discusse a question whether all these minerall waters be at all times of a like and equall force And that this question is not out of purpose nor needlessely propounded may from this appeare in that some have beene and some yet are of opinion that these waters every Bissextile or leap-yeere as wee call it lose a great deale of their efficacie and power and therefore not so efficacious and powerfull against ordinary infirmities In the first place then that the vertue and efficacie of these minerall waters is according to the severall seasons of the yeere and often according to abundance of drouth or moisture is often intended and remitted as wee cannot deny so is not the point in controversie but whether in any one certaine determinate time quatenus such a time howsoever the ambient aire in all the qualities be affected doth produce such an infallible alteration in all minerall waters that during that time they are of little or no efficacie against diseases and this is this leap-yeere now in question And although I am not ignorant that many of the wiser and more judicious have their judgements well enough setled herein yet because not onely some of the vulgar but some of more eminent parts and more sublimate understandings have beene involved in this vulgar errour I shall crave pardon to digresse a little upon this point which in my opinion may not seeme impertinent In the first place then let us take notice of the originall of this leap-yeere and what it is Before the time of Iulius Caesar it is thought that most nations used the computation of the yeere according to the course of the Moone the which because it was uncertaine the Moone in her motion being so unstable and uncertaine therefore Iulius Caesar 54 yeeres before the nativitie of our Lord and Saviour after he had finished his warres taking into his consideration this irregularity of the yeere resolved to rectifie the same And for this same purpose he sent into Egypt for the most expert Mathematicians of that Kingdome and among the rest one Sosigenes from whence as from this Iulius it is called the Iulian so from this same Sosigenes it is called the Sosigenian yeere and therefore whereas before the yeere was ordinarily measured by the motion of the Moone it was then reduced to the motion of the Sunne which finisheth his course in 365 daies and 6 houres These daies he divided into twelve equall parts called by the name of Mensis or measure And because there rested yet 6 odde houres for avoiding confusion which in processe of time might thereby be occasioned every fourth yeere there being just 24 houres remaining these making up a just naturall day were inserted into the moneth of February which before had but 28 daies And yet this computation is not so perfect but that it admitteth of some defects here being added unto this yeere more by the fifth part of an houre than ought and by consequence more added every leap-yeere unto February than ought by 48 minutes the which hath made an alteration in the Aequinoxes and Solstices since this Emperours time about 11 or 12 daies Besides that I say nothing of the motion of the Moone wherein was likewise some defect notwithstanding the course was taken to rectifie the same which made a great confusion in the time of the observation of Easter betwixt the Easterne and Westerne Churches untill the councell of Nice The emendation of this errour howsoever for the space of 200 yeeres by divers Popes attempted yet untill the time of Gregorie the 13 in the yeere of our Lord 1●82 was never brought to any passe This Pope by the helpe especially of one Lilius a Doctor of physicke tooke such a course to reforme the Calender that the vernall Aequinoxe was from the 10 of March reduced to the 21 to the same day that it was at the Nicene councell Now this could not be unlesse in the Calender and computation of the daies of the yeere there were 10 daies quite cut off And for this cause this same Lilius chose the moneth of October wherein this Pope was borne and tooke quite away from it tenne daies so that when the 5 of October was to be numbred in stead thereof was substituted the 15. and October that yeere had but 21 daies And this is that wee call the Gregorian or beyond the seas account or yeere by reason it is received in those countries beyond the seas where the Pope is acknowledged The which account yet notwithstanding is not perfect nor without exception as I could make appeare if I were purposed to insist upon this point But to come now to our purpose and to answer this point I say it is a thing very ridiculous and an opinion very erronious that this orderly alteration in the computation of time should infuse any new influence into these celestiall bodies which should againe produce so strange and stupendious effects upon these sublunary creatures Now these celestiall bodies keepe constantly the same course they ever did since the first creation these humane constitutions neither adding to nor detracting from these celestiall bodies any new energie vertue or power And if there were any such matter why then did not some such effects follow upon the alteration of Num 1 Pompilius who added two moneths to wit Ianuary and February to the former yeere consisting onely of ten moneths and why followed not there some strange new effects upon the altering of the names of two months Quintilis Sextilis to Iuly August the names of two famous Emperors and finally why followed not there some strange effects upon the alteration of the old Roman Iulian calender where there is no lesse than the difference of ten whole daies betwixt us and the Romanists whch it would seeme should produce new and stranger effects and this would seeme a thing not unbeseeming a papall power who as Gods Vicar generall here upon earth yea and an earthly God too as they would make

him possessing not onely the waies of Heaven and Purgatory but even of Hell it selfe and hee that can alter the decree of the Almighty that from Hell is no redemption and bring an heathen Emperour out of those firie flames why might hee not as well worke some new wonder in the alteration of the influences of these celestiall bodies This would have purchased farre greater credit and reputation to his shavelings than all the juggling Iesuites in Iapan or China with their counterfeit miracles yea or their whole legend of lies put in to weigh downe the scales our Lady of Loretto and all the wonders of the West Indies could ever yet doe This I confesse would perhaps make our Heretickes and Huguenots thinke better of S. Peters successe This would be obvious to the simplest understandings whereas when wee see a dead mans scull thorow a glasse wee may as well thinke it the head of some Barabbas as of a holy Iohn Baptist and when we see some milke which they tell us was the Virgin Maries in regard of the great store and more than miraculous multiplication of this milk it makes many Hereticke Huguenot of their Master Calvins minde that if all the milke they say was the Virgin Maries and which for such they keepe up and make the people beleeve it is such the best cow in Holland never gave so much that I say nothing of the monstrous bodies of the Saints some of them having two or three heads some store of legges c. yea some double or triple bodied But if his holinesse could but stay a little the course of the Sunne or Moone there might yet be some witnesses of it But yet to give the divell his right I doe much commend the attempts of some Popes for attempting but this Gregory especially for effecting some reformation of the old calender but withall wish this famous Doctor that was the chiefe doer had beene as well kept in remembrance for associating him into this communion and fellowship of calling the yeere as Gregorian so Lilian as was done to that famous Sosigenes But since those daies the case is quite altered and Gregory must goe farre beyond Iulius our Popes assuming the pre-eminence alone and precedency before Emperours Let this then remaine firme and stable like the lawes of the Medes and Persians that in these Leape or Bissextile yeeres as such there is no alteration nor difference from other yeers As such I adde because sometimes this yeere may much differ from the precedent or subsequent yeere and so may any other yeere differ from others but never as such a yeere neither yet is such a difference ever in every such Bissextile yeere observable Now at the ignorance of countrie people and such others as may easily in such points prove ignorant I marvell not so much as that some better learned in the Arts and liberall sciences should be so farre mistaken And this hath made mee a little the longer insist upon this point finding a learned Physitian in his treatise now and then mentioned to be of the same mind Sed Bernardus non videt omnia But I thinke that some such yeere perhaps falling out to be very wet in which seasons such waters often are not so forcible and this falling out it may be twice or thrice in these yeeres and so by some observed was afterwards taken for an uncontrolled truth that alwaies in every leape yeere the minerall waters lost much of their vertues But now I proceed to that which followeth These minerall waters are in a double manner used being either drunke or the body bathed in them They are used for divers infirmities for the cleansing of the stomacke guts and meseraicke veines as also to correct the distemper of the body to helpe infirmities of the lungs shortnesse of breath purging of sanious matter without an ulcer out of the breast and to heale the infirmities of the liver splene guts and kidnies c. In hot baths the body is commonly bathed the others are ordinary drunke for divers diseases The time and season most proper for the use of these baths especially these hot watets when election may have place as in other evacuations so in this must be the most temperate time of the yeere as the later end of March all April and May and againe in September and beginning of October But with us it is better to goe rather in August that so the businesse may be dispatched before the cold come in our Sommer-heats here being seldome with us so excessive If any necessity require they may be used also at other times correcting the aire as occasion shall require and thy learned counsell shall advise without which if thou go rashly to worke thou maiest perhaps all thy life long repent it CHAP. XIX Of the preparation before the use of minerall waters the right use and vertues of them their various kindes both in this Iland and other Countries NOw as in all other noble and generous remedies which concerne the health of mankinde wee are not rashly to rush upon them without some previous preparation and fitting of the body before no more are wee in the use of these meanes to neglect the like prudence in the preparation of the body And the same are here to be observed which before in the use of artificiall baths were mentioned to wit obstructions to be opened the body to be well purged according to the nature of the disease strength of the party and other answerable circumstances and withall there must be a care had that the concoction be well accomplished there be an abstinence from the venereall act and a freedome from passions and perturbations of the minde The fit and convenient time to enter into these baths is two houres after Sunne rising in a morning and if the nether parts be affected the party is to sit in the water covered therewith to the navell if the upper parts be affected as farre as the necke And this must all be done in due order the first day beginning with the space of an houre so increasing both the time of continuance and intending the hot quality of the water In the meanetime the same caution both concerning the nature and constitution of the parties to be bathed and the rules concerning diet before in and after the bathing is to be observed as we have heretofore set downe In the morning they may be suffered to continue longer in the evening a shorter time the space of five or sixe houres interceeding betwixt these two times But neither can there be a certaine or precise time for the number of houres continuance in the bath nor yet a certaine and set number of daies determined not other new particular circumstances limited but must still depend upon the judgement of the learned and judicious Physitian without whose counsell this businesse may prove more pernicious than profitable Of these minerall
