TOMLINSON'S Translation of Rhaenodaeus Dispensatory And whatever other Books of Physick and Surgery are extant in the English tongue This Dictionary will be as useful and sufficient to all our late English Practitioners in Physick or Chirurgery especially such as are not Scholars as any Dictionary of Ten Shillings price Approved by several Doctors Surgeons and Apothecaries and Recommended by them in an Epistle to all English Practitioners in Physick and Chirurgerie LONDON Printed by G. Dawson for John Garfield and are to be sold at his Shop at the sign of the Rolling Press for Pictures near the Royal Exchange in Cornhil over against Popes-head-alley 1657. To all English PRACTITIONERS IN PHYSICK ANATOMY CHIRURGERY And CHYMISTRY HOw great the necessity is of having a PHYSICALL DICTIONARY for Explaining hard Words and terms of Art in the Medicinal Sciences of Physick Chyrurgery and Chymistry such as are vers'd in the understanding thâ—se most useful mysterious and noble Arts dâ— very will know It is intended for such Persons as spend their time and employment in studying Physick and are acquainted with no other than their Mother tongue yet many times more readily Cure a Disease by their observant diligent and strict keeping to an approved Medicine than many others that trust wholly to their Art Therefore for the help of charitable and honest-meaning People this Dictionary was Compiled which hath in is as much as is necessary for understanding hard Words in the forementioned Arts being freed from that troublesome and superfluous Number of unnecessary Words which serve for nothing but to swell up the Bulk and Price of Books And thus much we have thought fit English Reader to say unto thee in Commendation of this best of Physical Dictionaries George Starky Doctor of Physick George Thornley Doctor of Physick Thomas Herbert Student in Physick and Astrologie John Rowland Doctor of Physick John Hawkins Chirurgion John Roane Chirurgion John Beach Student in Physick and Surgery Philip Frith Student in Physick and Astrology Ralph Woodall Chirurgion John Bryan Student in Physick Anthony Rowe Chirurgion John North Apothecary John Straw Practitioner in Physick John Harvy Apothecary THE STATIONER TO HIS COVNTRY-MEN Kind Country-men THe Explaining the Art of Physick having found so welcome Entertainment I hope for the like friendly Acceptance amongst you having preserved this Dictionary for your Good which others would have depriv'd you of wherein such difficult Terms as are deriv'd from the Greek or Latin and dark to the English Reader are made English and such Marks and Characters as are used by Physitians and Apothecaries in their Receipts explained and for your ease and better understanding put down the signification of their Weights and Measures according to their Characters with a definition of most Diseases incident to the Body of man And whereas there are many Words in Mr. Tomlinson's Translation of Rhaenodaeus Dispensatory not understood by any ordinary Scholars much less such as are not I have caused them to be Explained by Able Persons well Acquainted with the Practice of Physick so that the meanest Capacity by making use thereof may rightly understand whatever Difficult Expressions he shall meet withal in the said Dispensatory Your Friend and Servant JOHN GARFIELD THE EXPLANATION OF VVeights Measures A Handful is written thus M. 1.

Conserve to be better if a Syrup perfectly cocted be made of the decoction of this herb and Sugar and then mixed to other cleansed and brayed Leaves of this herb for thus it acquires a more excellent virtue and a more fit consistency Dry Conserve is made of dry Roses levigated very small with eight times their quantity of Sugar boyled in Rose-water to the consistency of an Electuary Conservae ex rosis siccis to which a little juice of some sowr Simple as Lemmons or Sorrel may be mixed for this juice doth not onely make it sweet and sowr and pleasant to the taste but of a more red and pleasant colour By the same art may other dry Conserves be made of dry Flowers CHAP. VIII Of Condites in general ROots Conditura cur fiat Fruits and other parts of Plants are condited either for conservation or for sapour or both For Conservations sake many are condited with Salt or Vinegar and sometimes both as Olives Capers Samphire Cucumbers and Broom-flowers For Sapours sake the pils of Oranges Lemons Almonds Pine-apples Cloves Nuts and many Seeds are confected with Honey or Sugar For both Conservation and Sapours sake many Roots Fruits and Flowers as the root of Ragwort Pears Plums Barberries and the flowers of Bugloss and Violets both that they may taste better and keep longer And such things as are to be condited are first concocted in an apt syrup and reposed and reserved with it in an carthen glass or vessel which are called by Apothecaries Condita liquida liquid Condites But if after perfect Concoction they be exposed to the open air till their superficies be dry and that viscid lentor wherewith they cleaved to the fingers of such as touch them Confecturae siccae be resolved then are they called dry Confectures Hereunto by a certain affinity may be referred a certain kinde of Condite which is called Pasta regia or a Mazapane but we shall treat of that more positively in our fifth Book in our Treatise of particular Remedies Those Delicates which the Confectioners call Tragemata Tragemata i.e. Junkets may be referred to solid Condites for they as other Condites are prepared by the help of the fire and the addition of Sugar but after a different manner For examples sake if Seeds are to be condited the Sugar must first be cocted into the consistency of a syrup then is it by little and little poured upon the Seeds then are they moved with ones hand and that so long till the Seeds be covered and incrustated all over with the Sugar Lemmons pils small cut as also Cynamon are condited after the same manner Now Fruits being humid they require a liquid Confecture and Seeds being dry a dry one CHAP. IX Of Powders THE Medicinal Art can by no means want Powders for when Medicaments are either too humid or dry by the Greeks called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the dry for the most part are pulverated the humid are made up and concinnated with these Powders as Electuaries solid Conserves Trochisks Plaisters and other Medicaments both intrinsecally to be assumed and extrinsecally to be applyed for nothing in Chirurgery is more frequently prescribed than incarnating astringing and closing Powders Pulverum in Chirurgia frequens usus and nothing so carefully prepared and kept of Apothecaries as cordial capital and roborating Powders which are not onely mixed with other forms of Medicaments but oftentimes prescribed alone to divers uses and affections as to roborate the principal parts preserve their strengths extinguish Poysons stay Fluxes help concoction to binde or lose the belly Many external passions are oft cured with these alone Pulvis vulnerarius optimus seldome without them as any Wound with red Powder compounded of two parts of Dragons-blood and one of Frankincense as a great Ulcer after detersion with incarnating Powder Pulvis epuloticus optimus Thus a slash or skar of a Wound is closed with an Epulotical Powder the best whereof are the Powders of Pompholix Brass oar Ceruse Spodium Terra Lemnia and Lead rightly prepared Now generally Pulveres in medicina quid praestent Medicaments are either given in the form of Powders or of them other forms are made borrowing their matter from Powders for these do not onely serve for to be fitted to the forms of several Medicaments but whether you look to the body or the quality of Medicaments these are for the most part their very Basis And Powders are made of the most select Medicaments beaten more or less as the nature of the Medicament or the exigency of the matter requires And all that are levigated or redacted into Powder are called of the Latines by a general name Pulveres which the Arabians call distinctly by these three idioms Sufful Alkool Alkool Sufful Sief and Sief Sufful denotes any kinde of Powder whether small or great Alkool that which is very small Sief denotes the attrition of certain Trochisks upon a Marble mixed with Rose Fennel or other convenient water to the griefs of the eyes Now some Powders to wit such as are made by the Confectioners are destinated onely to Sauces as the Powders of Pepper Ginger Nutmeg Cynamon and such like sweet Spices and they are called of the Seplasiaries small Spices which they used to keep in Leather bags Other Powders are cordial and roborative which pertain onely to the Medicinal Art as the Powder of Diarrhodon Abbatis Diacynamon Dianisi Laetitia Galeni and other cordial Powders which should be reposed in boxes glasses or pots close covered lest their virtue suddenly expire Other Powders are also made as Cathartick Powders which are onely for present not future uses because by keeping they are much worse and weaker Yet scarce is any Powder internally assumed alone and unmixed but is put in water or some other liquor though not so applyed externally which we often lay to Wounds and Ulcers alone Perfumers Cosmeticorum studium Chamberers and such as would take away wrinkles from old women with painting and promise to fascinate and cure stinking breaths make several Powders of suaveolent Spices as of the root of Orris of Roses Sandals Storax Betzoini sweet Cane Cynamon Cloves Marjorum Amber Musk Civet of which and other odoriferous Simples they make two excellent Powders which they call Chyprium Violetum and also many other and various Powders for the delectation of them that desire them They are wont to repose them in silken bags and put them in chests with their cloaths But the Apothecary need not be sollicitous about these for whom it is more expedient to have good Pulvis Diamargaritonis than Chyprium CHAP. X. Of Eclegms in general A Certain Medicament is made for the diseases of the Lungs something thicker than a Syrup and more liquid than an Electuary which the Arabians call Lodoch the Greeks 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and sometimes 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Latines

VII Of Lotion WE understand not by Lotion here a bath of cold water as Oribasius cap. 7. lib. 1. and Paulus cap. 51. lib. 1. do but the ablution of some particular member in some medicinal decoction to take away its filth correct its distemper digest its humour roborate its parts mitigate its dolour and to conciliate sleep This Decoction will by ablution of the head kill Lice ℞ Staves-acre ℥ ij Wormwood Tansy Betony A Lotion to kill lice the lesser Centanry of each m. ij Coloquintide seeds ℥ ss boyl them in a sufficient quantity of water till a third part be consumed and with a sponge wash his head This Lotion will denigrate the hairs of hoary heads which I prescribe to such old women as would not betray their age to their husbands by their whiteness ℞ The bark of Oke and Elm of each ℥ ij Galls ℥ ij the bark of Wallnuts lb. ss the leaves of the Pomegranate tree and Mirtle of each m. ss boyl them in a sufficient quantity of water adde thereunto Alum◠℥ ij Vitriol ℥ j. after the Colature wash the hairs therewith letting it dry in the Sun Yet Galen cap. 1. lib. 1. de comp med loc professes that he never exhibited any thing to such as adorned themselves for their own or others delight for this were all one as to paint a Sepulcher In times past men washed their heads more frequently than now adayes which caused of late this Proverb Wash your head never feet seldome hands often This Lotion made of the decoction of such Simples will mitigate calour and soporate the senses will by ablution of the feet therein conciliate sleep ℞ Lettice m. iij. Betony Water-lillyes of each m. ij Poppy flowers A Lotion to wash the feet to cause rest m. j. boyl them in water and wash the feet therewith CHAP. VIII Of an Embroche or Aspersion BY Embrochation we mean the irrigation of some part affected with some Oil Decoction or Liquor accommodated to the cure of that distemper distilled thereon like rain and hence Embroche from the Greek word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to rain This Medicament according to Aetius cap. 172. ser 3. tetr 1. is used when bathing is for some circumstances prohibited And as it is the decoction of Poppy and Chamemile it conduces much to such as are infested with night-watches feavers and delirations Archigenes seeing his Master Agathinus to rave because of his long wakes freed him both from his deliry and wakings by irrigating his head with much hot Oil. These irrigations seem to differ from foments onely in this that they are distilled upon the part from on high the foments being onely applyed thereunto by sponges cloaths or in bags Now according to Oribasius Prigatio cap. 23. lib. 9. we use irrigation onely when some inflammation must be resolved or ulcer suppurated Aspersion but aspersion in washing the face and in hot feavers and that in Summer with cold water in Winter with warmer Yet in more simple Feavers as also in the subversion of the stomack we use water mixed with vinegar in aspersion We use aspersions also to cure eyes infested with fluxes by the decoction of Basil which is most efficacious subjecting a dry sponge under the chin lest the water 〈◊〉 down to the breast An Embroche or Irrigation is compounded of Simples cocted i◠Wine Water Lees or Oil as this same for the Lethargy ℞ Embroche capitis Cyperus Calamus Aromaticus Orris Bay tree of each ℥ ss Sage Rosemary Penniroyal Calamint Staechados of each m. ss Squinant Coriander seed Cummin seed of eachʒ ij boyl these in three pints of water till the third part be consumed adde to the Colature Aqua vitae ℥ iij. besprinkle this on the head An Irrigation to conciliate sleep consists of Simples endued with quite contrary qualities and is thus made ℞ Lettice m. ij Water-lillyes white Roses of each m. j.

IX Of a Liniment ALiniment is of a middle consistency betwixt an Unguent and Oil being more liquid than an Unguent Linimenium quid and more crass than Oil for it admits of a very little Wax and Fat in its confection and therefore is not fluid without incalescence at the Fire or Sun Its basis i◠Oil whereunto sometimes is added a little of refinous Fat with Wax yet not so much but it still retains its soft consistency for a Liniment is nothing but a very soft Unguent to the confection whereof any Oil may be assumed so it be accommodated with faculties requisite to the intended scope And therefore almost every Liniment being paregorical and lenitive is confected either of simple Oil or of Oil of Almonds Violets or such like which will not excessively alter any temper as this same to abate the dolour of the side in a Pleurisy ℞ Oil of sweet Almonds ℥ ij ss fresh Butter ℥ j. Litus ad pleuritidem a little Wax to make it up into a Linctus anoint the side therewith Now to mitigate some dolour caused by a frigid humour some Oil must be assumed which is calid in the same degree that it may correct the humours distemper As on the contrary this Liniment made of refrigerating Oils will amend the distemper and asswage the dolour caused by a calid humour ℞ Oil of Water-lillyes ℥ ij ss Oil of Roses ℥ ss Waxʒ iij.

A Litus for a cold distemper Wax ʒ iii. let these be melted together and make a Liniment CHAP. X. Of Mucagines or Musliges BEcause there is often mention made of Mucagines which are either applyed alone or mixed with other Medicaments our Institution leads us now to speak a little thereof Now this Mucilage is efficacious in mollifying humectating and leniating some dolour as that same which is extracted from glutinous roots and seeds sometimes it digests and attracts as
constituted of the above mentioned calefactories Dropax magis compositus when it is prescribed for the reduction of any part perished by cold to its pristine bonity and when it is requisite that it exsiccate Then Oribasius cap. 10. lib. 1. adds Salt Sulphur Wine and the ashes of Vine branches to its confection and when it should open Euphorbium and Lymnestis otherwise called Adarce and all these must be brayed and strewed into melted Pitch The Dropax must be applyed while it is hot the hairs of the place first shaved off and a special care had lest the strength of the Dropax over-power the diseased If the Dropax be speedily pulled off it confirms the remiss spirits Dropacis effectus revokes them to the superficies and minds them of their work Aetius loco dicto It is sometimes adhibited instead of a Psylothrum to evell the hairs of a scurfy head for that malign filthy contagious ulcer of the head cannot be perfectly cured unless the hair be first evelled or abraded CHAP. XIX Of Psylothers APsylother is referred to the cosmical Medicaments which serve chiefly for the bodies culture and ornament neither Unguent nor Salve nor yet partaking of any special form but a depilatory Medicament which applyed in any form whatever will by its quality erode the hairs or down and so make a rough place smooth Now every Psylother properly so called having an eroding and burning faculty doth not onely attenuate but evell hairs and for a time utterly denude the place and therefore must not be applyed without great care and prudence for if it abide too long on the place especially if it be adustive it will ulcerate the skin raise pimples and burn like a Caustick or erodes like an Escharotical Medicament Oribasins cap. 13. lib. 10. reckons these for such Depilatories as may be safely adhibited to wit stillatitious Lixive Arsenick Sandarach and Calx viva Yet may some of those that exulcerate more vehemently be added to make the Psylothers more valid as Paulus Aegineta doth in this description cap. 52. lib. 3. â„ž * * * Millepedae Hogs lice Psyâ—othris Pauli Aselli domestici Assellorum domesticorumÊ’ ij Sandarach â„¥ ss Lime stone â„¥ j. old Vinegar the Lixivium of a Fig tree and lb ss boyl them to the consistency of a Liniment This Domesticus Asellus is an Animal which lodges under water vessels and contracts it self into a lump The Greeks call them 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Latines Millepedae the French Cloportes we Palmer worms Rondeletius prescribes this Psylother to absume hairs Rondeletii Psylother that they may never come again â„ž Auripigmentum Ants egs Gum Arabick ana â„¥ ss Gum Hederae â„¥ ij and with the blood of a Bat or juice of Henbane make it up into a Liniment according to art a portion whereof must be applyed to the place you would have denuded after you have shaved off the hair Oribasius and Aetius call white Vine or Briony a Psylother because of its excellent faculty in eroding hairs This Psylother is most efficacious made after this manner â„ž Another Lime-stone â„¥ ij Auripigmentum â„¥ ss let these be boyled in as much Lixivium as will suffice and make thereof a Liniment with which anoint the place for four hours afterwards wash it with clean water In the Turks Dominion there is a Mineral they call Rusma which may justly be preferred before all Psylothers for its preheminency in acting for though it be very temperate and burn not the part to which it is adhibited yet it doth speedily and without dolour erode the hairs denude the place leaving it very smooth without any token of a hair Which that it may be more commodiously applyed it should be levigated into small powder and diluted in water with half as much Calx viva The Turkish women before they go into a Bath or Hypocaust adhibit this mixture to their privy members and arm-holes which places they much desire alwayes to depilate and glabrify This Rusma is like Iron dross but lighter blacker and seemingly exust as Bellonius observes cap. 33. lib. 3. CHAP. XX. Of Vesicatories THis little extrinsecal Medicament Vesicatorium quomodo a sinapismo pyrotico differt from its effect in exciting the bladder we call a Vesicatory It is a little more vehement than a Phoenigm or Sinapism which onely rubrifies the superficies of the skin and more weak than a Pyrotick which burns the skin for being adhibited to the skin it raises the extream surface and causes blisters which being broken emit water in little quantity if the body be dry or the Medicament applyed to the superiour parts in greater quantity if the body be humid or hydropical and it applyed to the inferiour parts as to the leg for the skin being broken the water fluctuating in the belly or legs will sometimes delabe and flow from the little ulcer as from a fountain but the ulcer is sometimes left dysepulotical A Vesicatory applyed behind the ear on the side the tooth affected stands helps the tooth-ach and sometimes by its adhibition to the feet the Gonagry and Podagry are cured and it is thought to be more conducible to the phlegmatick than the cholerick yet I saw the Ring-worm perfectly cured by the application of a Vesicatory which no other presidy could amend Marcellus cap. 19. lib. de remed commends it to the cure of tetters and other affections of the skin Vesicatorium rusticorum If a Vesicatory be applyed to a wound inflicted by some wild beast or to a malign sore near the groins it will evoke the poyson and very much facilitate the cure The Rusticks make it of the roots of Ranunculus bruised and apply it but the Apothecaries make it of Cantharides pulverated and mixed with a little vinegar and leaven that is the best which is confected of the powder of Cantharides mixed with the Gumme of Elemus And it is thus made â„ž Euphorbium Pepper Cantharides ana ℈ ss and with leaven and vinegar make it into a Vesicatory CHAP. XXI Of Pyroticks or Cauteries HIppocrates Aph. ult lib. 7. saith right What Medicaments cannot cure the Sword may what the Sword cannot Fire may but what Fire cannot is altogether incurable For a Disease is oft so efferous as it will yield to no Medicament but must either be cured by section or ustion or both Now ustion is oft performed with a hot Iron which were able to terrifie the most magnanimous in whose stead the sedulity of our Medicks have invented a Medicament which from its operation and effect they name a Pyrotick for in its efficacy it resembles fire by its application it kills the quick flesh absumes the dead flesh and perforates the sound part that it may receive the excretion of the unsound opens the unsound that it eructate its own excrements Thus a Pyrotick makes an abscess for the corruption to break through thus it breaks the impostume and pertunds the fwellings that each may disgorge
which we do not use save in small quantity or intermixed with such things as temper their heat for Odoraments objected to the nose in great quantity are graveolent and hurtfull to the brain which recreate it in small quantity because their graveolency is tempered with the ambient air Maleolentia ingrata sacultatibus noâ—ia or with the mixtion of other things But maleolent things though tempered with the ambient air are averse to the brain both in quality and substance according to Galen cap. 10. lib. de instrum odorat which Aristotle also confirms whil'st cap. 24. lib. 8. de Hist Anim. he sayes that Women may become abortive at the smell of an extinguished Candle Seeing then that suaveolent Odours are consocial to the spirits and their familiar Pabulum the Physician will not onely acquire praise of the Vulgar by being perfumed but he will be better able to prescribe Odoraments both to roborate the spirits and defend sanity Now they are either described in form of an Unguent or of a Pomander or of Trochisks or of Powder An Odorament in forâ— of Powder is thus confected â„ž Calamus AromaticusÊ’ iij.

XXVII Of Perfumes and Suffumigatories ALL sweet Odours exhilarate the spirits but many will not communicate their scent save by fire and therefore such are set over burning coals or otherwise so calefied that they emit their odours plentiously Thus did the first Adorers of a Deity make their Incense Sacrifice thus do Physicians confect their Perfumes for sanity and thus do the Courtiers confect theirs for pleasure Yet the matter of Perfumes is not alwayes injected upon coals but sometimes put into a brasen or silver pot which the Vulgar call a Cassolet Corula Cassoleta together with water of Roses or Oranges laying quick coals under it that it may boyl and with its vapour fill and perfume the whole house A Perfume is either humid or dry and both either for pleasure or sanity the humid may easily be made and is very familiar to delicate women who being sick or taking purgative Medicaments perfume their Cubicles with the pills of Oranges Lemmons Cloves Cinnamon and Rose water mixed together and put in a Cassolet over the fire The dry ones are more frequently confected by Apothecaries at the Phyficians precept either for pleasure or profit Those who through epicurism and voluptuousness profusely spend their Fathers means most accustome delicious Perfumes Those whose spirits want refection brains roboration hearts exhilaration and bodies vindication from some extrinsecal malignity require sanitiferous Perfumes Now Perfumes help the lungs stuffed with abundance of flegm Suffitus quibus affectionibus conveniat and yet they are not convenient to all diseases and affections about the breast for Aetius cap. 144. tetr ser 3. saith that they do harm such as spit blood by opening the vessels neither yet are they convenient for those who have some dry disease about their breasts but they eximiously conduce to such as are pursy orthopnoical and whose breasts are infested with many crude humours as also to such as labour under the French disease Lues Indica suffitu nonnunquam curatur if they be duely confected of idoneous Medicaments which will abject the poyson of that distemper by frequent salivation and be exhibited after the body hath been vacuated by universal remedies And they are most frequently used in form of a pretty crass Powder as thus to roborate and siccate the brain â„ž Storax Benioin anaÊ’ j. ss Gum of Juniper Frankincense anaÊ’ j.

Leprosie or Scab and after a few moneths collect their putrid matter and fell it for Mumy and what is more horrible they would take the dead carcases of such as had been suffocated and dryed in the sands of Arabia and call them Mumy and give them to the diseased to be assumed at the mouth Yea many are in that errour still that Mumy is onely the cadaverous and dry flesh of bodies corrupted and putrid Yea I remember I heard a man of much learning but no great skill in Medicine amongst a company of famous men speaking of Mumy and all contending that now we had no true Mumy but a little tabid foetid corrupt flesh in respect of that which was found in the Aegyptian Kings Sepulchres which was both fragrant and vertuous say That Mumy was the flesh of dryed bodies and that he had seen it lately dryed while it was adherent to the ribs Thus this impious opinion adheres to the mindes of the eredulous who collecting some filthy matter from mans flesh a wicked custome indeed introduced by wretched men exhibit it to the sick We are so farre from possessing the Mumy of the ancient Aegyptians Mumia antiquorum non amplius haberi which was but small and soon spent that we cannot have Avicenna his Mumy which was made of mans corruption mixed with Pissaphaltum but are content with the succe expressed out of putrid carcases and inspissated which is now kept in Pharmacopolies to mens greatest peril which perite and prudent men never use in Medicine for it is absurd to think that this Mumy should help such as are hurt by falling nay will it not rather harm them and all that use it for if we fear that any ones blood should clot by falling have we not Posca and Oxymel and other inciding Medicaments more conducible But seeing no Compound in our Shop requires mans Fat no more of that CHAP. 3. Of Goats Blood GOats are either peregrine and cornuted as the Aethiopian and Cretian Goats or vernacular some whereof have horns others not The blood of either duly prepared as we have taught in our Shop is very effectual in breaking the stone and is the basis of that eximious Medicament we call Lithos Tripticos to whose comment we have adjoyned this Preparation Now there are many varieties of peregrine Goats amongst which the Persian Goat which they call Pazan is most commended out of whose belly the Bezar-stone is taken which is commended against the virulent bitings of Animals Poysons and many malignant Diseases as we shall declare more at large by and by The Cretian Goat is so called from the Isle Crete which nourishes no Wolves no more then England the French call it Boucestain it is vested with short and flave hair bearing two horns crooked backwards it is so agile an Animal that it will leap from one rock to another though six paces distant Bellonius Amongst wilde-Goats we enumerate Mountain-Goats Rock-Goats African-Goats Bucks and Roe-bucks and yet these Animals differ much from one another and all from our indigenous Goat which alone of Animals patiently and willingly admits a companion in venery whence by a Sarcasm we call him a Cornuto Goat-like that patiently tolerates it Strepsicetos is by some called a Goat but I rather think it a Ram it hath two horns striated but like the Unicorns horns erect never used in Medicine Strepsiceros brings me to think of Monoceros which many douht is a meer Chimaera for if it have a being it is so rare that it never was seen and because it is rare because its nature is unknown and because that such as write of it dissent amongst themselves men doubt of its being Yet that there is such a Beast the holy Scriptures averre and its horn which is daily seen and prescribed by Medicks against poysons and poysonous affections Yet I set no less estimate upon Harts or Rhinoceros his horn then Monoceros his horn of which many write more then truth What kinde of Animal it is of what nature where it lives and what vertues its horn is indued with shall be hereafter more largely explicated CHAP. 4. Of Hares Blood BOth wise men assert and experience proves That Hares blood rosted breaks the stone This Animal is most notorious most fearful and swiftest which alone according to Aristotle hath hair in its mouth and under its feet Some say they have seen white Hares but it is certain that they are not so onely they appear such in winter while they are covered with snow as with a white garment One D. de Vitri an eximious Noble-man catch'd a cornuted Hare whose horns he gave King James of England It is fabulous that Hares participate of both Sexes hermaphroditically and that they can both beget conceive and bear And the blood is not onely so efficacious but the whole Hare usted in an earthen pot well covered and taken with some White-wine water or fit decoction breaks and expels stones and therefore rightly accedes to Lithontripticons confection There is also the Sea-hare so called because generated in the Sea it resembles our Land-hares which is very much an enemy to the Lungs and Women with Childe of which see Rondeletius CHAP. 5. Of Fat 's and first of Harts Marrow Marrow is in every Animal the aliment of its bones it califies allayes dolour resolves mollifies hard tumours in any part but especially Harts Marrow next to that is Calves Marrow the Marrow of other Animals is sharper and more intemperate A Hart is a well-known Animal which superates all other cornigerous beasts both in pulchritude of form amplitude of horns and variety of branches But nature denied horns to Deer and those that first erupt out of the Male are erect without branches whence the Bucks are called Subulones afterwards their horns are bifidous afterwards trifidous they are at first vested with a skin and soft Down but after they are expofed a while to the Sun they become rough hard and glabre All cornigerous Animals except the Hart bear hollow horns but his are all over solid which fall off yearly and then being disarmed he hides himself daily till new ones erupt and these cornicles are as roborative and as much resist venenate affections as Monoceros his horn Experience hath also proved That a Harts genitals are very efficacious in curing the Pleurisie Collick and Dysentery There is a certain concreted liquor Gumme-like which we call Harts-tears in the greater angle of an old Harts eye which by an admirable propriety moves sudour copiously and oppugnes the venenate quality of the Pestilence and other malign affections Eutyceros and Platyceros are a kinde of Harts But I leave the nature of them to be described by such as undertake the absolute History of Animals CHAP. 6.
