Reproduction of original in Cushing Collection, Yale University Medical School Library.
Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

Wherein
is

1
That
the
end
why
the

receive
all
Glorious
Grace
,
is
,
That
they
may
be
one
,
as
the
Father

one
.
2
That
God
the
Father
loveth
the
Faithful
,
as
he
loveth
Jesus
Christ
.
3
That
our
Savior
desireth
to
have
the
Faithful

himself
.
4

the
Happiness
of
our

see
Christs
Glory
.
5
That
there
is
much
wanting
in
the
Knowledge
of
Gods
Love
,
in
the
most
able
Saints
.
6
That
the
Lord
Christ
lends
daily
Direction
,
according
to
the
daily
need
of
his
Servants
.
7
That
it
is
the
desire
and
endeavor
of
our
Savior
,
that
the
dearest
of
Gods
Love
,
which
was
bestowed
on
himself
,
should
be
given
to
his
faithful
Servants
.
8
That
our
Union
and
Communion
with
God
in
Christ
,
is
the
top
of
our
happiness
in

1.
Of
the
straitness
and
largeness
of
the
Orifice
.
THERE
are
three
Diseases
in
this
Part.
The
straitness
,
and
the
largeness
,
and
the
Yard
of
a
woman
.
The
straitness
is
,
when
the
cleft
is
so
narrow
,
that
it
wil
not
admit
of
a
man●
Yard
,
or
with
much
difficulty
,
it
hinders
childbearing
;
and
if
it
be
from
the
first
conformation
,
it
is
hard
to
be
cured
by
Physick
,
but
i●
is
enlarged
,
either
by
copulation
,
or
by
bring●ng
forth
of
children
.
Somtimes
it
is
from
an
●lcer
,
or
from
astringent
Medicines
given
unadvisedly
,
that
they
may
appear
to
be
Virgins
,
when
they
are
not
.
Somtimes
the
cleft
is
shut
up
outwardly
,
and
there
is
only
passage
for
the
urin
and
the
terms
;
these
women
are
called
Atret●e
,
that
is
shut
up●
not
bored
,
of
which
Chap.
3.
Somtimes
it
is
so
close
,
that
neither
terms
nor
urine
can
com●●orth
.
The
contrary
to
this
,
is
largeness
of
the
cle●t
,
or
when
there
are
more
holes
then
Nature
hath
usually
,
by
often
copulation
or
childbearing
.
This
laxity
or
largeness
causeth
barrenness
and
falling
out
of
the
womb
,
as
Hippocra●es
sh●ws
in
the
Nature
of
Women
.
And
this
makes
women
unpleasant
to
men
.
This
is
cured
by
purging
after
childbearing
,
by
Fomentations
,
Baths
,
Liniments
of
Allum
water
,
and
the
Decoction
of
astringent
Plants
.
Take
Com●rey
roots
,
Bole
,
Sanguis
Draconis●
Pomegranate
flowers
,
Allum
,
Mastich
,
Galls
,
each
half

Som●

When
ther●
are
divers
passages
in
a
womans
priv●ties
,
it
i●
from
the
first
conformation
,
when
by
Natur●●

the
passage
from

Chap.
2.
Of
the
Mentula
,
or
Yard
in
a
Woman
.
THe
Al●e
or
wings
in
the
privities
of
a
w●man●
are
of
soft
spungy
●lesh
,
like
a
Cocks
comb
in
shape
and
colour
;
the
part
at
th●
top
is
hard
and
nervous
,
and
swells
like
a
Y●rd
in
Venery
,
with
much
Spi●it
.
This
pa●t
sometimes
is
big
as
a
mans
Yard
,
and
such
wome●
were
thought
to
be
turned
into
men
.
It
is
from
too
much
nourishment
of
the
part
,
from
●he
loosness
of
it
by
o●ten
handling
.
It
is
not
safe
to
cut
it
off
presently
,
but
fi●st
use
dryers
and
discussers
,
with
things
that
a
little
astringe
,
then
gentle
Causticks
without
causi●g
pain
,
as
burnt
Allum
,
Aegyptiacum
.
Take
Aegyptiacum
,
Oyl
of
Mastich
,
Roses●W●x
,
ea●h
half
an
ounce
.
If
these
will
not
do
,
the●●●t
it
off
,
or
tie
it
with
a
ligature
of
Silk
or
Horse-hair
,
till
it
mortisie
.
Aetius
teacheth
the
way
of
amputation
,
he
c●ls
it
the
Nympha
or
C●itoris
,
between
both
the
wings
,
but
take
heed
you
cause
not
pain
●r
i●●lammation
.
After
cutting
,
wa●h
with
Win●
,
with
M●rtles
,
Bays
,
Roses
,
Pom●granate
flow●●s
●oyled
in
it
,
and
Cypress-nu●s
and
lay
on
an
〈…〉
Po●der
.
Some
excrescences
grow
like
a
tail
,
and
fill
the
privities
:
they
differ
from
a
Clitoris
,
for
the
desire
of
Venery
is
increased
in
that
,
and
the
rubbing
of
the
cloaths
upon
it
cause
lust
,
but
in
an
excrescence
of
flesh
,
they
cannot
for
pain
endu●●
copulation
,
but
you
may
cut
off
this
better
then
a
Clitoris
,
because
it
is
all
superfluous
.
Chap.

Of
Atretae
or
Closures
,
and
straitness
of
the
neck
and
mouth
of
the
Womb.
THey
are
three●old
:
it
is
either
in
the
ori●ice
,
or
the
neck
,
or
in
the
middle
,
it
is
alwaies
huttful
,
either
to
copulation
or
the
terms
,
or
to
conception
and
childbearing
.
I
saw
one
that
had
the
first
:
the
ori●ice
was
very
little
,
onely
fit
to
purge
the
terms
,
and
receive
seed
,
she
conceived
,
and
the
Midwives
discovered
in
time
of
childbearing
,
and
the
Chirurgion
opened
it
,
and
she
was
happily
delivered
,
but
how
the
seed
was
spent
into
it
,
is
not
to
be
understood
.
Flesh
or
a
membrane
is
from
evil
conformation
,
or
a
wound
,
or
ulcer
,
of
which
Benivenius
,
〈◊〉

Hildanu●

The
●le●t
also
may
be
closed
by
a

o●
ulcer
,
as
in
a

who
with
the
French

had
all
eaten
off
,
and
it
grew
together
after

only
there
was
a
little
passa●e
for

This
is
,
either
when
the
sides
grow

u●cer
,
or
●hen
proud
●le●h
●●ops
it
u●●
●hich
is
somtimes
in
the
French
pox
.
When
it
is
in
the
privities
,
it
is
to
be
seen
,
but
●hen
in
the
neck
or
ori●ice
of
the
womb
,
it
is
not
●nown
,
but
when
the
terms
are
to
●low
,
or
when
●hey
copulate
;
and
it
is
either
broken
by
the
●orce
of
blood
,
or
there
is
pain
;
and
being
vir●ins
,
they
are
taken
to
be
with
child
,
for
i●
it
●ast
long
the
womb
swells
,
and
the
whole
body
is
●lewish
.
These
either
hinder
the
term●
from
the
neck
●f
the
womb
,
or
from
the
veins
of
it
.
If
in●lam●ation
or
ulcer
was
before
,
this
disease
may
be
●uspected
to
be
;
if
there
the
closing
be
by
the
membrane
the
place
is
white
,
if
by
●le●h
,
it
is
red
,
●nd
it
is
known
by
the
touch
,
for
the

●s
●arder
then
flesh
.
The
inconveniences
are
great
either
in
copulation
,
conception
or
child
bearing
especially
,
for
the
child
cannot
get
forth
without
hazard
of
it self
or
mother
.
It
is
easier
cured
when
it
is
from
a
membrane
only
,
because
it
is
easily
cut
or
broken
,
that
in
●he
orifice
of
the
womb
is
not
to
be
cured
,
because
the
instruments
cannot
reach
it
.
Take
away
that
which
stops
the
passage
,
a
membrane
that
is
outward
is
easily
cut
,
but
i●
it
be
in
the
neck
of
the
womb
or
be
flesh
,
it
is
hard
,
for
if
the
cut
be
large
there
is
pain
and
b●e●ding
,
and
the
wound
is
hard
to
be
cured
,
because
the
ne●k
of
the

is
easily
hurt
thereby
.
〈…〉
teacheth
this
operation
in

THey
are
from
a
gross
seculent

mal●gnant
humor
sent
to
the
skin
,
and
turned
to
a
node
.
They
are
known
by
their
shape
:
the
malignant
are
known
by
their
hardness
,
and
heat
,
and
blewness
,
fil●h
and
pain
.
They
are
often
hard
to
be
cured
,
because
the
pox
is
with
them
,
and
they
are
in
a
place
to
which
Medicines
are
hard
to
be
applied
,
and
to
continue
.
The
Myrmeciae
are
not
cut
off
,
but
they
leave
a
great
ulcer
,
the
Thymi
and
Clavi
grow
again
.
Acrochordones
once
cut
,
leave
no
root
.
After
Universals
,
and
order
of

,
either
use
Medicines
,

then
use
Sage
dried

Organ
,
Rue
burnt

dry
Savin
,
Frankincense
,
with
Wine

Vinegar
,

these
also
dry

Of
the
Haemorrhoids
of
the
Womb.
THe
veins
that
end
in
the
neck
of
the
womb
,
often
swel
,
like
the
Haemorrhoids
:
it
is
from
gross
blood
that
comes
to
these
veins
out
of
the
time
of
the
terms
.
Inordinate
flux
of
terms
may
occasion
it
,
when
t●●y
slow
out
of
the
usual
time
,
they
grow
thick
,
and
cannot
get
out
of
the
veins
,
but
swel
them
.
They
are
to
be
touched
,
and
with
a
Speculum
matricis
to
be
seen
.
There
is
pain
and
bleeding
without
order
:
she
is
pale
and
lazy
.
Correct
the
blood
,
purge
,
and
bleed
in
the
arm
to
derive
and
revel
,
of
which
in
the
diseases
of
the

.
If
pain
be

abate
it
by
sitting
in
a
Decoction
of
Mallows
,
Althaea
,
Chamomil
,
M●lilot
flowers
,
Moulin
,
Lineseed
,
Foenugreek
;
of
which
also
make
Fomentations
and
Oyntments
,
with
Butter
,
Populeon
,
and
Opium
if
there
be
pain
.
Take
Populeon
,
Oyl
of
Roses
,
and
sweet
Almonds
,
fresh
Butter
,
each
half
an
ounce
;
Saffron
a
s●●●ple
,
with
the
yolk
of
an
Egg
,
make
an
Oyntment
.
Or
,
Take
Mu●ilage
of
Quinces
,
Althaea
,
ea●h
half
an
ounce
;
Oyl
of
Roses
,
and
Hens
gre●se
,
each
a
dram
;
the
yolk
of
an
Eg
,
and
Saffron
half
a
dram
,
mix
them
in
a
leaden
Mortar
.
If
pain
be
gone
or
abated
,
and
they
bleed
not
,
use
Dryers
of
Bole
,
Earth
of
Lemnos
,
Acacia
,
Ceruss
,
froath
of
Silver
,
Lead
burnt
and
washed
,
long
Birthwort

Allum
,
Verdigreece
.
If
they
swell

,
evaporate
it
,
or
●oment
with
the
Decoction

Mallows
,
Althaea
,
Pellitory
,
Chamomil
flowers
,
Moulin
Melilot
,
seeds
of
Line
and
Foenugre●k
.
If
they
do
not
good
,
open
them
by
Fig
leaves
rub'd
upon
them
,
or
by
Horsleeches
,
of

gently
,
l●t
Nature
alone
to
the
work
,
for
it
is
good
,
and
●rees
from
other
diseases
.
If
the
flux
be
g●eat
,
and
abate
the
strength
,
open
a
vein
in
the
arm
divers
times
,
and
do
as
in
over
slowing
of
the
terms
.
Question
.
How
do
the
Haemorrhoids
differ
from
the
Terms
flowing
or
stopt
?
Mercurialis
saith
,
That
though
a
flux
of
terms
be
immod●rate
,
yet
it
hath
its
periods
,
and
is
without
pain
,
and
makes
not
the
body
lean
,
but
it
is
contrary
in
the
Haemorrhoids
.
But
this
is
not
true
,
for
the
body
is
not
made
lean
alwaies
by
the
Haemorrhoids
,
nor
do
the
courses
keep
their
periods
alwai●s
.
Besides
the
pain
which
is
almost
alwaies
in
the
Haemorrhoids
,
they
differ
in
that
the
terms
flow
from
the
veins
of
the
womb
and
its
neck
,
but
the
Haemorrhoids
are
when
the
blood
flows
too
much
to
the
veins
that
nourish
the
privities
,
and
there
either
sticks
or
is
evacuated
.

You
may
also
see
it
with

also
there
is
matter
gentle

:
if
the

go

,
they
piss

there
is
pain
in
the
roots
of
the
eyes
to
the
hands
and
fingers
fainting
,
and
a
little
●ever
somtimes
.
The
external
Causes
are
to
be
related
by
the
patient
.
If
it
be
from
the
pox
or
Gonorrhaea
,
the
signs
of
them
will
appear
,
of
which
Hippocrates
.
They
are
hard
to
be
cured
,
because
they
are
in
a
part
fit
to
receive
humors
,
soft
and
moist
,
and
that
hath
consent
with
many
parts
.
Hence
are
divers
Symptoms
:
the
great
,
old
,
and
foul
are
worst
,
when
they
corrode
,
and
are
hollow
,
they
are
seldome
cured
;
they
that
may
easily
have
Medicines
applied
to
them
,
are
easie●t
cured
.
First
,
stop
the
flux
of
humors
to
the
part
,
if
it
be
either
from
the
whole
body
,
or
any
part
.
And
amend
the
distemper
of
the
womb
,
that
it
may
neither
breed
nor
receive
bad
humors
.
If
the
French
pox
be
with
it
,
resist
that
first
.
If
there
be
pain
,
first
abate
that
,
with
Milk
steeled
,
or
with
three
whites
of
Eggs
,
and
Mucilage
of
Fleabane
,
or
an
Emulsion
of
Poppy
seeds
.
Or
,
Take
Althaea
roots
an

,
Dill

two

,
Faenugreek

Lineseed
,
each
an

;
Fleabane
and
Poppy
seed
,
each
half
an
ounce
;
boyl
them
in
Milk.
Of
which
in
pain
of
the
womb
.
In
a
foul
ulcer
,
first
use
Clensers

Use
it
hot

When

was
injected
,
is
voided
,
wash
with
the
decoction
of
Mallows

put
up
this
Pessary

Of
Clefts
in
the
Neck
of
the
Womb.
THese
are
long
ulcers
that
are

like
those
in

in
Winter
,
they
eat
o●
the

and
are
somtimes
deep
,
with
hard
lips
,
if
old
:
somtimes
they
are
dry
,
or
somtimes
bleed
.
They
come
from
hard
travel
,
when
some
pa●ts
in
the
neck
of
the
womb
are
broken
by
a
great
child
,
or
violent
copulation
,
or
flux
of
sharp
humors
that
stick
in
the
parts
,
and
corrode
.
If
it
be
new
,
it
is
hidden
somtimes
and
known
in
copulation
,
by
pain
and
bleeding
.
The
new
are
easier
cured
,
then
when
they
are
old
and
callous
.
If

(
if
the
clefts
be

)
as
Oyl
of

Chap.

Of
Fistulae's
in
the
Neck
of
the
Womb.
MAny
times
there
are
ulcers
in
these
parts
,
because
they
are
soft
,
and
easily
corroded
,
and
●re
hard
to
be
cured
.
Some
of
them
are
●●rait
,
others
crooked
;
some
〈◊〉
others
hollow
.
If
matter
stay
there
,
it
corrodes
and
makes
burroughs
,
and
divides
the
parts
,
and
makes
a
Callus
,
and
when
the
matter
is
voided
,
the
parts
divided
cannot
unite
.
It
is
known
by
the
●igure
of
the
ulcer
,
there
is
a
callous
lip
,
and
thin
evil
matter
,
when
it
is
pressed
,
flows
out
:
there
is
no
pain
,
except
it
reach
a
sensible
part
.
Somtimes
it
reacheth
the
bladder
,
and
then
the
urin
comes
forth
at
the
fistula
:
somtimes
the
fundament
,
and
then
the
dung
appears
in
the
Fistula
.
A
new
Fistula
is
easier
cured
then
an
old
and
a
strait
then
a
crooked
:
it
is
scarce
to
be
cured
in
a
cacochymical
old
body
,
and
when
it
pierceth
into
the
parts
adjacent
.
First
use
Universals
,
and
good
diet
,
then
see
if
it
may
be
cured
by
Medicines
,
or
better
left
to
Nature
to
evacuate
exc●ements
thereby
.
I●
the
last
is
best
,
use
a
palliative
Cure
,
by
often
purging
and
sweating
twice
in
a
year
,
and
injections
an●
strengtheners
,
and
lay
on
a
Plai●●er
of
〈◊〉
.
If
you
hope
for
a
Cure
,
after
Universals
,
giv●
drying
vulnerary
Drinks
,
of
male
Fern
roots
,
Centaury
,
Agrimony
,
Bettony
,
Ladies-mantle
,
&c.
Then
use
Topicks
;
fi●st
dilate
the
orisice
(
i●
it
be
strait
)
with
a
Spunge
or
Gentian
●oots
,
the●
consume
the
Callus
,
but
first
make
it
soft
wi●●
Oyl
of
Lillies
,
Deer's
Marrow
,
Tu●pentine
and
Wax
.
Three
things
consume
a
Callus
:
Medicines
,
cutting
and
burning
,
there
in
a
new
strait
Fistula
,
use
Gentian
,
black
H●llebore
,
Aegyptiacum
,
o●
Vigo's
Pouder
with
a
Pencil
.
Or
,
Take
Sublimate
half
a
scruple
,
Rose
or
Plantane
water
six
ounces
,
set
it
upon
embers
.
If
it
be
towards
the
womb
,
take
heed
of
strong
Medicines
.
If
it
be
callous
and
●oul
,
burn
it
either
by
a
Caustick
or
hot
iron
.
These
are
good
in
the
ou●ward
part
of
the
neck
:
then
clense
and
heal
.

Of
a
Cancer
in
the
Womb.
IT
is
seldom
seen
,
and
never
cured
:
but
here
I
shall
speak
of
that
in
the
neck
of
the
womb
,
which
is
ulcerated
,
or
not
ulcerated
.
It
is
from
terms
burnt
,

hot
burnt
humors
that
are
black
,
that
flow
thither
;
it
is
after
long
●●irrhous
tumors
,
that
have
been
immoderately
softned
.
It
is
first
not
ulcerated
,
and
when
the
humors
are
more
corrupt
,
it
is
ulcerated
.
They
are
hard
to
be
known
at
first
,
because
it
is
a
tumor
without
pain
,
and
after
there
is
a
pricking
in
it
,
and
a
pain
in
the
groyns
,
loyns
,
and
bottom
of
the
belly
.
The
tumor
is
hard
,
blew
,
with

lipps
When
it
is

,
the
Sym●●●●s
are

Of
a
Gangrene
and
Sphacel
in
the
Womb.
SOmetimes
the
whole
womb
is
gangrenated
,
and
it
is
from
the
privities
that
receive
many
excrements
apt
to
corrupt
.
It
is
from
an
inflammation
and
ulcer
not
well
cured
,
because
the
part
hath
many
excrements
,
which
easily
quench
the
natural
heat
,
and
then
the
part
mortifies
.
There
is
an
usual
heat
in
the
neck
of
the
womb
,
and
a
feaver
with
horror
all
over
the

it
stinks
,

decayes

It

worse

1.
Of
the
Knowledg
of
the
Temper
of
the
Womb.
MARK
Anthony
Vlmus
Physitian
of
Bononia
,
shews
the
temper
of
the
womb
:
he
saith
that
a
beard
in
women
shews
that
they
have
a
hot
womb
,
and
hot
stones
:
it
comes
with
the
beginning
of
the
terms
,
and
when
the
breasts
swell
,
and
is
hard
to
be
seen
.
Aristotle
saith
,
That
some
women
have
hairs
in
their
chin
,
when
their
courses
stop
,
and
when
they
have
a
hot
womb
and
stones
.
But
there
are
more
certain
signs
of
heat
.
1.
When
hard
hair
comes
●orth
suddenly
,
thick
,
black
,
and
long
,
and
large
about
;
if
they
come
forth
slow
,
thin
,
soft
,
yellowish
,
and
but
few
not
spreading
the
womb
is
cold
.
Also
when
the
ter●s
come
forth
at
twelve
years
of
age
,
it
is
a
●ign
of
a
hot
womb
,
and
when
they
last
long
,
the
blood
is
red
,
hot
,
but
not
very
much
.
In
an
old
constitution
they
come
later
,
and
the
blood
is
cold
and
waterish
,
and
they
end
sooner
.
If
it
be
hot
and
moist
,
they
flow
plentifully
,
and
last
till
after
fifty
.
If
it
be
hot
and
dry
,
the
blood
is
yellow
,
thin
and
sharp
,
and
pricks
the
privities
.
If
it
be
cold
and
moist
,
the
blood
comes
late
forth
,
with
difficulty
,
and
it
is
whitish
and
thin
.
If
it
be
cold
and
dry
,
the
terms
come
forth
very
late
,
and
with
difficulty
,
and
seldom
continue
till
forty
,
and
the
blood
is
thick
and
little
.
The
third
sign
is
from
Lechery
,
for
they
who
have
hot
wombs
desire
copulation
●ooner
and
more
vehemently
,
and
are
much
delighted
th●rwith
.
They
who
are
cold
,
do
the
contrary
.
The
hot
and
moist
are
not
tired
with
much
Venery
.
The
hot
and
dry
have
great
lust
,
and
a
Frenzie
if
they
want
it
;
but
they
are
quickly
●ired
,
because
there
are
but
few
Spirits
.
If
it
be
cold
and
moist
,
they
are
not
soon
lecherous
,
and
are
●asily
satisfied
;
and
if
they
miscarry
often
,
the
womb
is
made
colder
,
and
they
delight
not
in
the
sport
:
but
copulation
doth
them
good
,
and
makes
them
more
youthful
.
If
it
be
cold
and
dry
,
they
desire
not
a
man
in
a
long
time
,
and
take
no
delight
,
because
the
Spirits
are
few
.
The
fourth
sign
is
from
often
conception
,
for
the
hot
conceive
often
,
and
bring
forth
males
or
Viragoe's
,
if
the
seed
of
the
man
agree
with
it
.
The
cold
doth
the
contrary
.
A
hot
and
moist
womb
is
very
fruitful
,
if
the
man
be
wel
tempered
,
and
though
he
be
old
and
weak
,
yet
she
will
conceive
by
him
:
sometimes
they
have
twins
,
or
over
do
,
and
have
a
mole
.
Hot
and

but
not
so
much
as
the
former

Cold

moist
,
are
hard
to
conceive
,
especially
when
they
are
in
years
;
when
they
are
yong
,
and
the
seed
of
the
man
is
hot
and
dry
,
they
conceive
males
,
but
seldom
wel
shaped
or
healthful
,
and
the
woman
while
she
is
with
child
,
is
sickly
.
A
cold
and
dry
womb
is
commonly
barren
,
and
if
they
conceive
,
the
mans
seed
is
hot
and
moist
,
they
bring
forth
●emales
;
and
if
males
,
they
are
tall
,
and
quickly
look

2.
Of
the
hot
Distemper
of
the
Womb.
HEat
of
the
womb
is
necessary
for
conception
:
but
if
it
be
too
much
,
it
nourisheth
not
the
seed
of
the
man
,
but
disperseth
its
heat
,
and
hinders
the
conception
This
preternatural
heat
is
from
the
birth
somtimes
,
and
makes
them
barren
;
if
afterwards
,
it
is
from
hot
causes
,
that
bring
the
heat
and
the
blood
to
the
womb
:
from
internal
and
external
Medicines
,
too
much
hot
meats
,
and
drinks
,
and
exercise
.
They
are
prone
to
lu●t
,
have
few
courses
,
yellow
,
or
black
,
or
burnt
,
or
sharp
,
they
have
hairs
betimes
upon
their
privities
;
they
are
subject
to
the
headach
,
and
there
are
signs
of
much
choler
,
their
lips
are
dry
.
When
this
distemper
is
strong
,
they
have
few
terms
,
and
out
of
order
;
they
are
●ad
and
hard
to
flow
,
and
in
time
they
are
H●p●●●ondria●ks
,
and
for
the
most
part
barren
;
and
●here
is
somtimes
a
Frenzie
of
the
womb
.
Use
Coolers
:
so
that
they
offend
not
the
vessels
,
that
must
be
open
for
the
flux
of
the
terms
.
Therefore
,
Use
inwardly
Succory
,
Endive
,
Violets
,
Waterlillies
,
Sorrel
,
Lettice
,
Sanders
,
and
Syrups
,
and
Conserves
made

.
As
,
Take
Conserve

Succory

Violets

Waterlillies
,
Borage
,
each
an
ounce
;
Conserve
of
Roses
half
an

,
Diamargariton
frigid
,
Diatrionsantalon
,
each
half
a
dram
;
with
Syrup
of
Viole●s
or
juyce
of
Citrons
,
make
an
Electuary
.
Outwardly
use
Oyntment
of
Galens
Cooler
,
Oyntment
of
Roses●
Cerot
of
Sanders
,
Oyl
of
Roses
,
Violets
,
Waterlillies
,
Gourds
,
Venus
navel
to
the
back
and
loyns
;
or
make
Cataplas●s
of
Barley
meal
,
Roses
poudered
,
Violets
,
Water-lillies
,
Sanders
,
with
juyce
or
water
of
Plantane
,
Waterlillies
,
Succory
Lettice
,
Oyl
of
Roses
,
Violets
,
Waterlillies
.
Baths
are
good
to
sit
in
,
and
cooling
●omentations
,
and
after
let
her
take
some
of
the
Coolers
mentioned
.
In
great
heat
,
use
this
cooling
Pessary
.
Take
Opium
a
s●ruple
,
Goose
grease
two
scruples
,
Wax
and
Honey
,
each
four
scruples
;
Oyl
an
ounce
,
whites
of
two
Eggs.
This
was
from
an
opinion
the
Ancients
had
,
that
Opium
was
cold
,
but
take
heed
of
the
using
it
too
much
,
least
the
narcoti●k
quality
hurt
.
Let
the
air
be
cool
,
her
garments
thin
:
let
her
meat
be
with
Lettice
,
Endive
,
Succory
,
Barley
:
give
no
hot
mea●s
nor
strong
Wine
,
except
it
be
wat●●ish
and
thi●
;
rest
is
good
both
in
body
and
mind
:
she
m●st
not
co●ulate
,
but
she
may
sleep
much
.

its
vessels
.
THis
is
a
disease
of
evil
conformation
from
nature
,
when
it
can
be
stretched
out
no
further
,
this
makes
an
abortion
in
the
fourth
or
fifth
month
.
But
it
is
wonderful
in
its
natural
shape
when
it
wil
stretch
according
to
the
proportion
of
the
child
,
and
after
childbearing
be
as
small
as
a●
first
.
Of
straitness
of
the
vessels
of
the
Womb.
This
is
usual
,
and
hinders
the
flux
of
the
terms
and
conception
,
it
is
in
the
vessels
of
the
womb
,
and
of
the
neck
thereof
.
Are
thick
tough
humors
that
stop
the
mouth●
of
the
veins
and
arteries
,
these
are
bred
of
gro●●
or
much
nourishment
,
when
the
heat
of
th●
womb
is
so
weak
that
it
cannot
attenuate
the
humors
,
these
either
●low
from
the
whole
body
o●
are
gathered
in
the
womb
.
Somtimes
vessels
are
closed
by
inflammatio●
or
S●irrhus
,
o●
other
tumor
.

They
are
stopt
by
astringen●
Medicines
.
4.
By
compression
.
5.
From
a
Scar
or
flesh
,
or
a
membrane
that
g●ows
after
a
wound
.
Stoppage
of
the
terms
shews
straitness
which
hi●ders
conception
:
and
this
stoppage
is
known
by
crudities
abounding
in
the
body
,
which
are
known
by
their
signs
.
Sometimes
thick
flegm
comes
from
the
womb
,
if
there
was
a
wound
before
,
or
the
Secundine
was
pulled
out
by
force
.
Stoppage
of
terms
from
an
old
obstruction
by
humors
,
is
hard
to
be
cured
;
if
it
be
from
disorderly
use
of
astringents
,
it
is
more
curable
:
if
it
be
from
a
Scirrhus
or
other
tumor
that
compresseth
or
closeth
the
vessels
,
that
cannot
be
cured
,
the
disease
is
incurable
.
Obstructions
are
taken
away
by
the
means
mentioned
in
the
cold
and
moist
Distemper
of
the
Womb
:
●le●m
must
be
purged
and
she
must
be
let

as
in
stoppage
of
the
terms
.
After
Universals
;
come
to
the
obstruction
with
Medicines
that
move
the

:
these
take

Chap.

Of
the
opening
of
the
Vessels
of
the
Womb
besides
Nature
.
THis
is
when
there
is
great
bleeding
.
The
vessels
are
opened
preternaturally
three
waies
,
by
Anastomosis
,
Diaeresis
,
and
by
Diapedesis
,
as
in
the
lungs
.
Anastomosis
is
from
much
blood
which
the
liver
doth
produce
,
and
send
out
by
the
womb
,
as
in
some
by
the
nose
.
For
the
blood
being
thin
,
hot
,
cholerick
and
sharp
,
opens
the
mouths
of
the
vessels
,
and
causeth
a
flux
.
Diaeresis
is
from
much
blood
,
when
there
is
great
motion
,
as
when
there
is
long
copulation
with
a
strong
man
that
hath
a
great
tool
,
or
a
hard
travel
,
or
abortion
,
a
●all
or
stroke
;
also
when
sharp
humors
corrode
,
or
sharp
pessaries
.
Diaped●sis
is
from
the
thinness
of
the
vessels
,
and
loosness
,
and
the
thinness
of
the
blood
,
or
from
much
moisture
,
or
use
of
Baths
.
M●ch
blood
is
a
●ign
the
vessels
are
open
,
you
shall
know
the
causes
that
open
them
thus
.
In
Anastomosis
the
blood
drops
,
and
is
th●n
,
and
there
are
signs
of
much
blood
,
or
sharp
and
thin
.
If
there
be
a
Di●er●sis
,
the
blood
flows
more
,
and
there
are
clodde●s
and
there
were
causes
that
broke
the
vessels
,
as
sharp
Suppositories
.
Diapedesis
is
known
,
when
the
woman
is
of
a
thin
and
loose
habit
of
body
,
the
blood
thin
,
or
she
hath
used
●uch
bathing
.
If
the
vessels
open
from
much
blood
in
a
sound
body
,
there
is
less
danger
,
and
it
is
easier
cured
then
in
a
Caco●hymy
.
In
an
A●asiomosis
give
things
that
thicken
without
slime
,
as
Roses
,
Mirtles
,
Medlars
,
Services
,
Pomegranate
peels
and
fl●wers
,
Sanders
,
●oral
,
Harts
horn
,
Cypress-nu●s
.
In
Diaeresis
give
things
that
thicken
with
slime
'
as
Comfrey
,
Plantane
,
Gum
Traganth
,
whites
of
Eggs
,
Troches
of
Amber
,
Bole
,
Starch
,
Rice
Quinces
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
Sarcocol
,
and
Izing
glass
.
But
because
there
are
divers
causes
,
and
these
dise●es
are
not
cured
but
by
taking
them
away
●
we
shall
speak
of
them
in
the
Chapter
of
immoderate

.
Chap.

Of
a
double
Womb
,
the
wanting
of
a
Womb
,
and
evil
shape
of
the
Womb
,
and
strange
things
found
in
it
.
Julius
Obsequens
sai●s
that
one
woman
had
two
w●mbs
,
and
〈◊〉
saith
that
a
Maid
had
her
womb
in
two
parts
,
as
in
Bitches
.
C●l●mbus
saith
that
one
wanted
a
womb
,
but
●e●
privities
were
as
in
other
women
,
and
part
●f
the
neck
of
it
hung
out
.
Worms
in
the
Womb.
Hippocrates
writes
that
worms
are
found
in
the
womb
.
And
Gynaecea
writes
,
it
is
a
sign
tha●
Nature
is
wanton
,
&c.
And
John
de
Tornamira
writes
,
that
he
saw
a
Woman
that
had
an
intollerable
itching
in
her
womb
from
the
Ascarides
,
he
gave
a
Womb
clyster
of
the
Decoction
of
Wormwood
and
Hiera
,
and
she
voided
many
small
worms
,
and
was
cured
.
An
Addition
.
*
Wheresoever
foul
humors
stop
in
any
part
,
it
is
no
wonder
if
it
breed
worms
,
if
other
things
agree
which
are
required
for
the
breeding
of
th●m
.
Fat
and
hair
found
in
a
Womb.
William
Fabricius
mentions
that
in
a
dead
woman
the
womb
was
taken
out
,
and
it
weighed
eighty
seven
pounds
,
and
was
full
of
divers
humors
;
in
the
middle
there
were
hairs
like
yellow
wool
.
An
Addition
.
*
This
was
by
Magick
,
or
a
humor
lay
there
fit
to
breed
this
strange
matter
,
by
preternatural
heat
.
Stones
bred
in
the
Womb.
Mercurialis
doubts
of
stones
being
bred
in
it●
but
thinks
it
is
clotted
blood
like
stones
.
But
it
cannot
be
denied
which
many
worthy
Authors
write
.
First
Hipp●cra●es
w●it●s
that
a
Woman
of
sixty
,
after
noon
alwa●es
was
pain●d
as
one
in
travel
,
after
she
had
eaten
many
leeks
,
she
had
one
●it
worse
then
the
rest
,
and
she
arose
,
and
found
somthing
rough
in
the
orifice
of
her

,
and
she
fainted
,
and
another

t●●●st
in

and
took
out
a

Chap.
10.
Of
the
magnitude
of
the
Womb
increased
,
and
first
of
the
inflation
of
the
Womb.
IN●lation
is
a
stretching
of
the
womb
with
wind
,
it
called
by
some
a
windy
Mole
.
See
Mathew
de
gradibus
:
And
Thadeus
Dun
lib.
mis●el
.
c.
8.
This
wind
is
from
a
cold
matter
,
either
thick
or
thin
,
contained
in
the
veins
of
the
womb
,
which
overcom●s
the
weak
heat
of
the
womb
;
it
is
gather●d
there
by
cold
meats
and
drinks
,
or
flows
from
other
parts
.
Cold
air
may
be
the
cause
also
,
if
women
that
lie
in
,
expose
themselves
to
it
.
This
wind
is
contained
either
in
the
cavity
of
the
vessels
of
the
womb
,
or
between
the
tunicl●●
.
There
is
a
swelling
in
the
region
of
the
womb
,
somtimes
reaching
to
the
navel
,
loyns
and
Diaphragma
;
&
as
wind
increaseth
or
decreaseth
,
it
a●iseth
or
abateth
,
it
is
different
from
a
Dropsie
,
because
it
is
never
●●ollen
so
high
.
And
least
a
Phy●itian
be
deceived
,
and
take
it
for
a
conception
,
observe
the
signs
of
women
with
child
,
for
if
one
sign
be
wanting
,
you
may
suspect
an
in●lation
;
also
in
in●lation
the
tumor
in●reaseth
and
decreaseth
,
but
in
conception
it
still
increaseth
.
Moreover
if
you
strike
upon
〈◊〉
belly
,
there
is
a
noise
,
but
not
in
conception
.
It
differs
from
a
dropsie
in
the
womb
,
for
the●
is
not
such
heaviness
,
they
move
more
easily
ar●
the
belly
is
not
so
swelled
,
there
were
causes
th●●
bred
wind
,
and
things
against
wind
do
good
.
It
differs
from
a
mole
,
for
there
is
in
that
〈◊〉
weight
and
hardness
in
the
belly
,
and
when
the●
move
from
one
side
to
a●other
,
they
feel
a
wei●●
that
moveth
which
is
not
in
this
,
of
which
Hippocrates
.
The
feet
and
the
face
swells
in
the
ho●low
parts
,
the
●olor
is
bad
,
the
terms
stopt
,
the●●
is
short
wind
,
&c.
If
●he
wind
is
without
the
cavity
of
the
womb●
there
is
more
pain
and
larger
,
nor
is
there
a
noi●●
because
the
wind
is
in
a
straighter
place
.
It
is
neither
a
lasting
nor
a
deadly
disease
,
i●
well
lo●k●
after
:
if
it
be
in
the
cavity
of
the
womb
,
it
is
ea●ier
discussed

Give
Hiera

Question●
Whether
the
wind
is
in
the
cavity●
when
there
is
in●●ation
of
the
Womb
?
It
is
so
by
experience
,
though
some
deny
it
,
nor
is
there
any
cause
why
wind
should
not
b●
bred
in
the
womb
,
as
well
as
in
any
other
part
;
both
by
reason
of
the
excrements
that
come
thither
,
and
the
natural
heat
that
turns
them
into
wind
:
these
also
stretch
the
womb
(
though
it
be
thick
)
as
in
dropsies
and
conception
;
also
the
retentive
and
altering
faculty
of
the
womb
is
never
idl●
,
so
that
when
it
receives
diseased
and
un●ruitful
●eed
,
it
suffers
it
not
to
corrupt
,
but
turns
it
into
wind
.
As
Hippocrates
writes
,
When
the
w●●b
is
stre●●hed
by
wind
from
the
belly
,
women
thi●k
they
hav●
conceived
.

Of

THey
are
also
deceived
,
and
think
they
are
with
child
:
when
there
is
water
that
swel●
the

;
this
is
a
D●opsie
of
the

.
This
water
is
either
in
the
cavity
o●
between
the
co●ts
of
th●
womb
,
o●
in
its
vessels
.
●●salius
,
Marcellus
Donatus
shew
that
water
is
in
the
cavity
,
for
it
doth
not
pre●ently
by
its
plenty
or
quality
,
force
its
passage
out
,
because
the
ori●ice
is
not
alwaies
open
,
and
Nature
gathers
it
by
degrees
,
and
is
used
to
it
.
A●tius
●aies
,
There
are
somtimes
bladders
of
water
in

And
Christopher

●aith
,
that
Leonora

that
she

six

then
voided
sixty
bladders

seven
pieces

like
that
of

in

.
There
is
sometimes
a
Dropsie
of
the
womb
wi●h
conception
,
as
Schenki●s
and
William
Fabri●ius
●aith
of
his
own
Wi●e
.
A●e
gathering
of
water
from
moistness
mixed
with
the
t●rm●
,
and
from
an
evil
sang●ifi●ation
in
the
liver
and
●●leen
,
f●om
●h●ir
weakness
,
o●
f●om
errors
in
diet
;
or
from
weakness
of
the
womb
,
from
hard
travel
,
or
often
mischances
,
cold
air
or
water
,
or
whatsoever
hurts
the
hea●
of
the
womb
.
Also
stoppage
of
the
terms
doth
cause
gathering
of
water
,
for
the
water
useth
to
be
evacuated
with
them
.
Many
take
this
for
the
only
cause
.
Somtimes
the
tunicles
of
the
womb
may
be
divided
in
some
place
,
and
water
may
be
gathered
between
them
.
Hippocrates
saith
,
The
terms
are
●ewer
,
and
cease
before
the
time
;
the
bottom
of
the
belly
swells
,
and
the
papps
are
so●t
without
milk
,
and
she
thinks
she
is
with
child
:
by
these
you
may
know
it
is
a
Dropsie
.
But
because
Doctors
and
Midwives
are
often
deceived
,
you
must
distinguish
this
from
other
swellings
.
When
a
woman
is
sound
,
and
useth
a
sound
man
,
the
womb
by
degrees
swells
,
and
the
child
moves
in
its
time
,
but
often
there
is
a
Dropsi●
with
conception
before
or
after
;
therefore
in
a
Dropsie
the
tumor
is
equal
,
according
to
the
largeness
of
the
womb
and
●elly
,
and
no●
pointed
as
in
a
woman
with
child
.
Secondly
,
i●
the
woman
be
in
years
,
and
hath
not
conceived
before
,
and
hath
a
good
colour
,
it
is
a
sign
of
a
Dropsie
rather
then
conception
.
If
the
tenth
month
be
past
,
and
the
child
moves
not
,
nor
the
breasts
swell
,
but
are
soft
,
say
there
is
a
D●opsie
of
the
womb
.
Thirdly
,
in
a
true
conception
,
women
are
b●tter
after
some
months
,
and
the
Symptoms
abate
,
but
in
a
Dropsie
they
increase
still
.
It
is
distinguished
from
a
mole
by
the
weight
in
the
bottom
of
the
belly
.
From
an
inflation●
because
the
belly
is
st●etched
in
that
,
and
sounds
being
striken
,
but
is
so●t
in
a
Dropsie
.
It
differs
from
the
Dropsie
of
the
belly
,
because
the
face
is
pale
or
wane
,
in
that
from
the
distemper
of
the
liver
there
is
thirst
,
but
in
the
won
b●dropsie
she
is
of
a
good
colour
,
except
the
liver
be
also
bad
.
It
differs
from
inflammation
of
the
womb
,
for
that
is
●ith
a
constant
feaver
,
and
the
Symptoms
o●
it
,
and
●rom
other
tumors
which
are
harder
,
but
in
a
D●opsie
of
the
womb
,
if
the
belly
be
pre●●ed●
it
yi●ld●
.
You
shal
know
whether
it
be
from
the
fault
in
the
wo●b
●rincipally
,
or
●●om
some
other
part
,
thus
.
I●
t●e
woman
be
of
a
good
colour
,
and
there
were
onely
some
diseases
and
causes
that
might
hurt
the
womb●
as
abortion
,
hard
travel
,
stoppage
of
terms
,
or
too
many
of
them
,
then
the
womb
is
chiefly
affected
;
but
if
there
be
signs
of
a
distem●er
in
the
whole
body
,
or
in
the
liver
or
spleen
,
a●d
the
colour
is
bad
,
it
is
by
consent
from
other
parts
.
You
shall
kn●w
whether
the
water
be
in
bladde●s
or
in
the
cavity
of
the
womb
,
thus
:
If
you
find
the
ori●ice
o●
the
womb
closed
,
and
there
is
little
pain
,
it
is
in
the
cavity
,
but
if
the
ori●ice
be
open
,
and
there
is
great
pain
,
it
is
in
bladders
or
without
the
cav●●y
.
If
the
humor
in
the
womb
be
not
corrupt
,
this
disease
is
of
long
continuance
,
but
may
be
easily
cured
:
it
is
ea●ier
cured
in
the
cavity
,
then
when
it
is
in
bladders
,
and
between
the
●unicles
.
A
woman
after
conception
having
a
Dropsie
of
the
womb
,
her
child
di●th
,
and
she
is
in
danger
.
When

and

st●ength

open

Of
a
Tumor
in

Womb
,
from
blood
in
its
Veins
.
THis
disease
makes
Women
think
they
are
with
child
also
:
for
blood
long
detained
in
the
v●ins
about
the
womb
,
stretcheth
them
outwardly
,
and
twisteth
them
,
and
the
veins
in
the
substance
of
the
womb
are
ful
and
stretched
,
and
make
it
larger
;
but
when
the
terms
flow
,
it
falleth
again
,
except
there
be
a
Cachexy
or
Dropsie
.
This
is
onely
from
stoppage
of
terms
,
and
is
cured
by
provoking
them
.
Chap.
13.
Of
Inflammation
of
the
Womb.
IF
the
blood
that
comes
to
the
womb
,
get
out
of
the
vessels
into
its
substance
,
and
grow
hot
and
putresie
,
it
causeth
inflammation
,
either
all
over
,
or
in
pa●t
,
before
or
behind
,
above
or
below
,
on
the
right
or
left
side
.
Blood
is
the
immediate
Cause
,
which
is
pure
or
mixed
;
therefore
the
inflammation
is
either
an
Erysipelas
,
Oedema
or
Scirrhus
,
as
flegm
,
melancholy
,
or
blood
abound
.
Blood
is
either
sent
to
,
or
drawn
by
the
womb
;
by
heat
or
pain●
it
is
sent
to
it
,
when
it
aboundeth
,
or
is
hot
or
thin
,
and
when
the
blood
is
moved
by
hot
air
,
exercise
,
passions
,
as
anger
or
hot
diet
.
There
is
a
tumor
with
heat
and
pain
in
the
r●gion
of
the
womb
,
with
stretching
and
heaviness
in
the
privities
,
and
if
you
put
in
your
●inger
,
you
'l
feel
the
heat
,
and
the
more
pain
;
there
is
a
feaver
somtimes
called
Lipyria
,
when
there
is
cold
without
,
and
heat
within
.
The
tongue
is
dry
and
bl●ck
,
with
watching
,
doting
,
to●●ing
to
and
fro
,
the
breasts
are
pufft
up
and
pained
.
There
is
headach
to
the
roots
of
the
eyes
,
and
a
pain
in
the
groyns
,
hips
,
midrif
,
pleura
and
shoulders
:
short
wind
,
and
like
a
Pleurisie
,
with
loathing
,
vomitin●
,
hickets
.
The
belly
is
bound
,
the
pulse
is
small
,
and
often
and
weak
,
but
at
first
darting
and
quick
.
And
Hippocrates
●aith
,
If
the
womb
be
in●lamed
,
the
terms
are
stopt
,
and
the
neck
of
it
is
li●●
a
Spider●
web
with
many
small
vein●
,
&c.
I●
it
be
inflamed
before
,
the
pain
is
about
the
●●bes
,
and
the
urin
is
stopt
.
If
behind
it
is
in
the
●oyns
,
and
the
belly
is
bound
.
If
it
be
inflamed
in
the
bottom
,
the
pain
is
towards
the
navel
.
If
it
be
from
pure
blood
,
the
Symptoms
are
less
,
if
from
choler
stronger
,
the
thi●st
is
more
,
the
watching
greater
:
if
from
melancholy
,
all
are
worse
.
If
it
be
all
over
the
womb
,
it
is
dangerous
,
and
few
escape
it
.
An
Erysipelas
in
a
woman
with
child
is
deadly
,
because
there
is
an
abortion
,
and
the
Mother
dies
:
the
worse
the
Symptomes
,
the
greater
is
the
danger
.
And
it
is
safer
to
discuss
an
inflammation
then
to
ripen
it
:
if
it
turn
to
a
Schirrus
,
it
is
lasting
,
and
makes
〈◊〉
Dropsie
.
If
it
be
not
after
abortion
or
a
flux
of
blood
,
open
a
vein
in
the
Arm
,
or
cup
and
scarifie
the
sho●lders
.
Bleed
n●t
in
the
foot
,
least
you
draw
blood
more
to
the
womb
;
but
afterwards
to
derive
,
if
it
be
from
terms
stopt
,
you
may

Of
a
Scirrhus
and
Cancer
in
the
Womb.
AN
earthy
matter
left
after
an
inflammation
mak●s
a
hard
tumo●
called
a
Scirrhus
,
and
s●mtimes
it
is
without
an
inflammation
It
is
a
p●oper
S●irrhus
when
there
is
neither
sense
nor
p●n
;
it
is
imp●oper
when
there
is
a
little
sense
.
It
is
so●times
as
big
as
a
mans
head
;
somtimes
the
whole
womb
is
a
S●inhus
,
s●mtimes
onely
p●rt
of
it
.
The
immediate
Cause
,
is
a
thi●k
earth●
hu●or
,
as
n●tural
melan●●oly●
wh●n
a
thi●k
humor
is
gathered
in
the
womb
,
there
is
a
Scirrhus
without
inflammation
aforegoing
;
this
i●
usual
in
melancholy
women
,
and
such
as
are
no●
clensed
by
their
terms
,
or
have
the
Pica
or
green-sickness
,
and
are
fifty
years
old
.
Other
humors
somtimes
breed
a
Scirrhus
afte●
inflammation
,
when
cold
astringents
have
been
used
disorderly
,
for
then
the
humor
is
fixed
to
the
part
and
hardned
.
The
same
may
be
from
hot
discussers
,
which
send
forth
the
thin
matter
in
an
inflammation
,
and
fasten
the
thick
.
The
tumor
is
to
be
felt
,
it
yields
not
,
and
is
without
pain
,
the
terms
flow
not
at
first
,
or
very
little
,
&
afterwards
there
is
a
great
flux
of
blood
.
If
an
inflamation
went
before
,
and
the
part
is
heavy
and
burdened
,
it
is
a
sign
of
a
Scirrhus
.
She
is
unweeldy
,
●loathful
;
and
you
may
know
from
what
humor
,
it
is
by
the
signs
of
the
humors
predominating
in
the
body
,
and
the
part
pained
will
shew
you
in
what
place
it
is
.
A
Scirrhus
easily
turns
to
a
Cancer
.
And
when
the
terms
are
stopt
,
there
is
a
Dropsie
of
the
womb
or
belly
.
It
is
easier
cured
in
the
neck
then
in
the
womb
it self
.

Cancer

What
may
be
said
of
this
,
is
said
before
,
only
a

seize

it

in

of
it

Chap.
15.
Of
the
displacing
of
the
Womb
;
and
first
of
the
Ascent
of
it
.
WHen
the
womb
falls
out
of
the
privities
,
it
is
called
Procidentia
uteri
:
this
is
ordinary
,
but
the
ascēt
or
going
up
of
the
womb
is
more
unknown
.
Many
grave
Anatomists
hold
tha●
the
womb
doth
ascend
,
if
sweet
things
are
applied
to
the
nose
;
if
to
the
privities
,
that
it
descend●
if
stinking
s●ents
come
,
the
womb
flies
from
th●●
and
it
is
to
be
seen
by
breathing
altered
,
and
by
some
meats
that
the
womb
greedily
desires
,
and
catcheth
up
.
Galen
overthrows
this
opinion
,
and
saith
that
the
womb
doth
move
after
a
sort
,
and
ascend
,
but
it
is
very
little
,
and
not
to
be
demonstrated
;
nor
can
it
arise
to
the
stomach
,
it
is
tied
with
such
strong
ligaments
to
its
place
;
and
when
it
falls
out
the
ligaments
are
extended
by
moisture
,
and
falling
of
it
down
.
And
there
is
no
reason
why
the
ligaments
though
loose
or
wet
,
it
should
go
up
so
speedily
,
and
come
down
again
;
for●
falling
down
is
by
degrees
,
and
it
is
not
soon
brought
up
again
.
And
though
it
be
enlarged
in
conception
,
it
is
by
degrees
and
equally
,
not
suddenly
in
one
side
.
Nor
are
the
ligaments
made
very
loose
in
conception
,
and
the
bottom
of
the
womb
is
not
tied
,
the
ligaments
being
onely
on
the
sides
.
But
this
cannot
be
denied
,
which
women
affirm
,
that
they
feel
a
body
or
ball
moving
about
the
navel
,
and
a
Physitian
or
Midwife
may
feel
it
.
Therefo●e
let
us
enquire
what
it
is
,
if
it
be
not
a
womb
.
That
body
which
you
may
feel
stir
,
is
the
stones
,
and
that
blind
vessel
which
Fallopius
found
out
,
which
he
compared
to
the
great
end
of
a
Trumpet
,
called
F●llopius
his
Trumpet
.
For
the
stones
hang
,
and
the
body
of
the
T●umpet
is
l●ke
a
pipe
loose
and
moving
,
and
when
they
are
full
and
swell
with
corrupt
seed
and
vapo●s
,
they
move
to
and
fro
,
and
ascend
as
high
as
the
navel
.
And
the
stones
with
the
Trumpet
make
this
round
tumor
of
the
womb
,
which
is
felt
in
women
,
as
Riolanus
observes
.
Whatsoeve●
makes
corrupt
seed
in
the
stones
of
a
womā
,
and
fils
them
●th
evil
●apors
or
wind
,
is
the
cause
of
which
in
suffocation
of
the
womb
;
for
the
cause
is
alike
in
both
,
only
in
suffocation
the
Symptoms
are
worse●
because
the
evil
vapors
are
then
more
freely
carried
by
the
veins
arteries
and
nerves
,
and
asilict
the
principal
parts
.
The
woman
and
others
may
feel
a
round
body
,
and
she
●indeth
a
pain
at
her
heart
,
and
short
breath
,
without
sleeping
or
doting
,
or
other
symptoms
,
and
there
we●e
causes
that
disturbed
the
womb
.
It
is
not
dangerous
,
yet
not
to
be
slighted
,
for
it
may
turn
to
the
strangling
of
the
womb
,
when
these
evil
vapors
move
to
the
noble
parts
.
Let
the
aim
be
at
the
corrupt
seed
,
and
vapors
which
must
be
dis
ussed
and
evacuated
,
as
in
suffocation
of
the
Womb.
Chap.
16.
Of
falling
out
of
the
Womb.
SOmtimes
it
falls
to
the
middle
of
the
thighs
,
o●
to
the
kne●s
almost
,
or
hangs
a
little
out
.
The
womb
changeth
its
place
,
when
the
●igaments
by
which
it
is
bound
to
the
other
parts
●re
not
in
order
.
There
are
four
,
two
above
●road
and
membranous
that
come
from
the
Pe●iton●●um
.
and
two
●elow
that
are
nervous
,
●ound
and
hollow
.
●●●ide●
,
it
is
bound
to
the
●reat
ves●els
by
veins
and
a●t●ri●s
,
and
to
the
●ack
by
nerves
.
Now
the
place
is
changed
when
it
is
down
another
way
,
or
when
the
ligaments
are
loose
,
and
it
falls
down
by
its
own
weight
,
it
is
draw●
on
side
,
when
the
terms
are
stopt
,
and
the
vein●
and
arteries
●re
full
,
those
namely
which
go
to
the
womb
:
if
it
be
a
mole
on
the
one
side
,
th●
liver
or
spleen
ca●se
it
,
by
the
liv●●
veins
on
the
rig●t
side
,
or
the
spleen
on
the
left
,
as
they
are
〈◊〉
more
or
less
.
I
also
falls
down
by
the
loosning
of
the
par●●
to
which
it
is
fastned
,
but
how
that
can
be
,
it
is
not
clear
.
Hippocrates
saith
,
It
comes
from
external
caus●
,
as
fr●m
●old
of
the
●ee●
or
loyns
from
leaping
or
fear
,
cutting
of
wood●
or
r●●ning
d●wn
a
●ill
and
the
lik●
these
make
the
lig●●ents
moist
and
loos●
.
Also
it
may
be
from
cold
after
childbearing
,
getting
into
the
wom●
when
the
●●rms
flow
,
●tting
upon
a
cold
stone
,
and
the
like
.
Others
say
it
comes
from
the
solution
of
th●
conn●xion
of
the
sibrous
neck
,
and
the
parts
adj●●ent
,
and
that
is
fro●
the
weight
of
the
wom●
descending
:
thi●
we
deny
not
.
But
then
the
ligaments
must
be
loose
or
broken
.
But
women
in
a
d●op●e
could
not
be
said
not
to
have
the
wo●●
f●ll
down
,
if
it
came
only
from
loosness
.
B●●
the
●ause
in
them
,
is
the
●●ltness
of
the
water●
which
dries
more
then
it
moistneth
.
I●
there
be
●
little
tumor
within
or
without
the
pr●vities
like
a
skin
stretched
,
or
a
weight
●elt
about
the
p●ivities
,
it
is
onely
a
descent
of
the
womb
:
but
i●
there
be
a
tumor
like
a
Goose
eg●
and
a
hole
at
the
bottom
,
there
is
at
first
a
g●ea●
pain
in
the
parts
to
which
the
womb
is
●astned●
as
the
loyns
,
the
bottom
of
the
b●lly
,
an●
the
pr●viti●s
,
and
t●e
os
s●crum
,
●●om
the
stre●●hing
〈◊〉
breaking
of
the
ligaments
:
but
a
little
after
the
pain
abateth
,
and
there
is
an
impediment
in
walking
.
Somtimes
blood
comes
forth
from
the
breach
of
the
vessels
,
and
the
dung
and
urin
are
stopt
,
and
a
F●aver
and
Convulsion
.
When
it
is
new
,
it
is
easily
cured
,
when
old
,
it
is
ha●d
to
be
cured
,
but
not
deadly
,
onely
it
is
troublesom
and
nasty
.
It
hinde●s
conception
,
and
keeps
terms
f●om
flowing
orderly
.
If
it
be
with
●ain
,
Feaver
or
Convulsion
,
it
is
deadly
,
especially
in
women
with
child
.
That
which
comes
from
corrosion
of
the
ligaments●
is
dangerous
.
First
put
it
up
before
the
air
al●er
it
,
or
it
be
in●●amed
or
swollen
.
Therefore
fir●t
give
a
Clyster
to
remove
the
excrements
.
Then
lay
her
●pon
her
ba●k
wit●
her
l●gs
abroad
,
and
thighs
lift●d
up
,
her
he●d
down
,
and
take
the
tumor
in
your
hands
,
and
thrust
it
in
without
violence
.
I●
it
be
swollen
by
alteration
and
cold
,
soment
it
with
the
D●coction
of
Mallows
,
Althaea
,
Lin●
Foenugreek

,
Chamomil
flowers
,
Bayberries
,
and
anoint
i●
with

of
Lilli●s
,
and
H●●s

.
If
th●re
be
an
inflammation
,
put
it
not
up
yet
.
It
may
be
●righted
in
,
by
shewing
of
a
red
hot
iron
,
and
actin●
as
if
you
would
burn
it
.
First
,
sprinkle
upon

To

:
Take
Harts-born●

;
Mirrh
hal●
a

make

but
use
astringents
warily

lest
you
stop

and
cause
worse
mischief
.
I●
it
fall
out

,
purge
the
body
,
and
then
●se
dryers
,
as
the

of
China

.
To
keep
it
in
its
place
,
make
Roulers
and
ligatures
,
as
for
the
Rupture
,
and
use
Pessaries
into
the
bottom
of
the
womb
,
that
may
force
it
to
remain
:
of
which
Fran●is
Rousset
hath
writ●en
at
large
,
and
shews
that
they
neither
hinder
conception
,
nor
bring
any
inconvenience
,
nay
that
they
help
conception
,
and
retain
it
,
and
cure
this
disease
perfectly
.
And
Gaspar
Bau●inus
confirms
the
same
in
his
Appendix
to
Rousset
.
You
may
use
Circles
or
Balls
instead
of
Pessaries
.
As
,
Take
roots
of
wild
Vine
,
make
round
Circles
or
Balls
of
them
greater
or
less
,
as
the
Neck
of
the
womb
is
.
Then
,
Take
Virgin●
wax
melted
with
white
Rosin
or
Turpentine
,
dip
the
b●lls
in
till
they
are
fit
,
put
one
into
the
neck
of
the
womb
,
that
will
hold
in
being
just
fit
:
let
it
n●t
be
t●ken
out
till
it
fall
out
,
and
then
put
in
another

if
she

If
it
gangrene
and
sphacelate
,
cut
it
quite
off
,
if
she
fear
cutting
,
take
it
off
by
ligature
,
of
which
Rousset
who
shews
the

was

THE

BOOK

THE
SECOND
PART
.
Of
the
Symptoms
in
the
Womb
,
and
from
the
Womb.
Chap.
1.
Of
weakness
of
the
Womb.
THERE
are
many
Symptomes
from
the
womb
.
Of
those
in
the
womb
:
the
first
is
weakness
,
so
that
it
cannot
perform
its
actions
.
The
action
of
the
womb
is
twofold
,
private
and
publick
.
By
its
private
action
it
●akes
it
nourishment
of
blood
that
comes
to
it
.
By
its
publick
action
,
it
serves
for
generation
.
If
the
private
faculty
be
hurt
,
and
the
nourishm●nt
not
well
made
,
there
is
a
super●luous
moisture
,
and
then
weakness
without
other
fault
of
the
organ
or
unity
divided
.
The
first
Cause
is
distemper
,
when
the
manifest
qualities
are
changed
,
or
when
the
natural
heat
is
suffocated
or
dispersed
;
or
when
the
occult
qualities
are
changed
.
Heat
in
the
womb
makes
a
hot
distemper
,
if
it
be
too
much
,
by
which
the
womb
sucks
more
then
it
can
concoct
,
this
is
not
prope●ly
weakness
:
but
that
distemper
i●
weakness
,
when
the
action
is
either
not
done
,
or
weakly
done
.
But
cold
rather
makes
weakness
in
the
womb
,
by
which
it
cannot
make
the
sufficient
quantity
of
nourishment
,
hence
excremen●s
are
heaped
up
,
and
it
c●nnot
perform
its
actions
.
Also
a
moist
distemper
makes
weakness
,
by
which
it
can
neither
keep
seed
nor
child
;
it
is
also
weak
from
loosness
.
Little
desire
of
Venery
,
and
no
pleasure
therin
,
argue
weakness
of
the
womb
,
flux
of
seed
,
often
abortion
,
pain
in
the
loyns
and
pubes
,
when
the
terms
are
coming
;
●arts
from
the
womb
,
head-ach
,
and
the
like
.
The
signs
of
a
cold
and
moist
distemper
with
or
without
matter
,
are
already
declared
.
It
is
a
great
disease
,
by
reason
of
the
diver●
Symptoms
in
women
that
have
conception
hurt
.
It
is
worst
when
it
comes
from
dispersing
and
extinguishing
of
the
natural
heat
.
We
have
shewed
how
distempers
of
the
womb
are
cured
:
but
the
dispersing
of
the
Spirits
and
natural
heat
,
is
cured
by
things
that
hinder
th●
loss
of
Spirits
,
and
strengthen
the
womb
,
as
Spices
,
Cinnamon
,
Cloves
,
Nutmeg
,
Mace
,
Diacalaminth
,
Aromaticum
ros●tum
,
Diaxilaloes
,

,

.
Outwardly
by
Oyl
of
Lillies
,
Nard
,
Lavender
,
and
Astringents
when
the
womb
is
loose
.

Of
the
Itch
of
the
Womb.
THis
is
more
in
old
then
young
wome●●
and
must
be
distinguished
from
the
Frenzie
of
the
womb
:
for
here
is
only
a
desire
to
scrath
the
privities
,
so
that
they
cannot
sleep
.
Nor
is
it
with
desire
of
copulation
,
as
in
the
fury
of
the
womb
.
It
is
a
salt
humor
that
is
serous
and
adust
that
causeth
it
,
that
is
sent
to
the
neck
of
the
womb
,
and
the
privities
.
How
it
comes
there
,
I
shew●d
in
Ulcers
of
the
privities
.
It
is
known
by
her
relation
,
and
often
putting
her
hand
to
the
privities
.
It
is
more
troublesom
then
dangerous
,
becau●●
it
hinders
sleep
.
First
,
purge
the
whole
body
,
and
if
there
a●●
signs

,
and
strength
permits
,
bleed

Then
qualifie
the
sharp

h●mors
,
with
cold
and
moist
means
,
and
r●mov●
them
from
the
privities
.
Foment
with

of

Of
pain
in
the
Womb.
THere
is
pain
in
the
body
of
the
womb
wit●
other
diseases
sometimes
:
as
the
Co●●ckpains
woven
in
the
bottom
of
the
belly
,
and
in
the
loyns
and
hips
;
and
is
called
the
Pain
of
th●
Womb.
It
is
often
in
women
with
child
,
as
the
inflammation
of
the
womb
;
it
is
burning
and
beating
,
it
binds
the
belly
,
and
stops
the
urin
.
Solution
of
unity
is
the
Cause
of
all
pains
,
and
this
is
from
the
stretching
of
the
womb
and
its
vessels
,
or
corrosion
.
Stretching
is
from
wind
,
or
clotted
blood
in
the
cavity
o●
it
,
and
when
Nature
cannot
expel
it
by
reason
of
the
straitness
of
the
pa●t
,
there
is
pain
.
Also
pain
is
from
stretching
of
the
vessels
be●ore
the
terms
flow
,
when
they
are
close
,
and
the
blood
thick
,
and
this
pain
is
increased
by
external
cold
,
especially
after
heat
.
Somtimes
there
is
a
gathering
o●
humors
about
the
womb
,
when
the
terms
●●ow
,
and
are
●oul
,
and
they
get
into
the
membranes
,
and
stretch
them
.
The
same
may
be
from
corrupt
seed
,
that
stretcheth
the
vessels
.
Or
from
sharpness
and
corrosion
in
the
neck
●f
the
womb
,
when
sharp
humors
flow
through
it
,
and
tw●tch
it
.
The
pain
is
manifest
,
but
let
us
look
at
the
●igns
o●●he
causes
.
If
it
be
from
clotted
blood
,
there
was
a
flux
of
the
same
,
and
the
pain
is
fixed
about
the
ori●ice
of
the
womb
.
If
there
were
external
causes
,
the
patient
will
relate
.
If
it
be
from
seed
,
there
is
suffocation
of
the
womb
.
The
greater
the
cause
is
,
and
the
more
vehement
it
works
,
the
more
is
the
danger
.
If
there
be
pain
,
and
fear
of
fainting
,
look
to
that
before
the
cause
,
with
Anodynes
and
Narco●icks
if
need
be
.
If
it
be
from
wind●
see
inflation
of
the
womb
.
If
i●
be
from
clotted
blood
,
di●●olve
and
eva●uate
it
,
with
hot
and
attenuating
Medicines
,
made
into
Fomentations
,
Baths
and
Oyntmen●s
.
It
is
good
to
apply
Treacle
to
the
region
of
the
womb
,
or
put
it
in
with
Rue
and
Honey
.
Or
give
a
Clyster
to
the
womb
,
of
Ru●
,
Foenugre●k
s●ed
,
and
Oyl
of
Rue
and
Orris
.
Or
give
〈◊〉

Cinnamon
water
.
If
the
vessels
of
the
womb
are
not
open
enough
for
the
terms
.
See
in
the
stoppage
of
the
terms
.
If
there

make

the
Diseases
of
Womb
,
that
come
from
sweet
scents
and
stinks
.
THere
is
a
particular
Symptom
in
the
womb
which
b●eeds
great
admiration
,
that
it
deli●hts
●n
sweet
scents
,
and
is
offended
with
stinks
;
and
it
is
certain
,
for
if
Musk
,
Civet
,
or
the
like
,
be
but
put
to
the
nose
of
a
woman
that
is
subject
to
●i●s
of
the
Mother
,
they
grow
sick
,
and
if
the
s●me
be
put
to
their
privities
,
and
stinks
to
the
nos●
,
the
●it
of
the
Mother
ceaseth
.
It
is
hard
to
give
the
reason
of
this
,
many
wi●e
Men
have
given
their
opinion●
but
they
dis●gree
among
themselves
,
and
●atisfie
me
not
,
neither
do
I
p●omise
to
satis●ie
others
.
But
it
is
probable
to
me
that
the
womb
is
not
delighted
with
scents
,
as
scents
,
for
the
privities
have
no
smelling
,
and
the
sen●e
of
●melling
doth
not
reach
so
●ar
:
but
the
quality
by
which
it
is
well
or
ill
,
is
occult
,
and
not
to
be
explained
,
and
not
to
be
●●parated
from
the
odours
.
If
any
ask
what
that
quality
is
.
I
answer
,
the●e
are
many
qualities
in
Nature
that
are
hid
●rom
our
senses
,
and
yet
we
cannot
deny
them
,
because
we
see
their
effects
,
as
the
quality
in
a
Dogs
nose
,
we
cannot
apprehend
but
the
Dog
perceives
it
.
But
how
these
qualities
come
to
the
womb
,
is
by
no
other
way
but
by
the
open
way
by
the
p●ivi●ies
,
by
which
Spirits
get
into
the
womb
,
and
in
the
su●●o●ation
of
the
womb
●weet
thin●s
p
o●it
,
because
they
strengthen
it
by
a
peculiar
quality
to
disperse
the
venemous
air
,
and
draw
down
the
Spirits
and
humors
.
But
if
they
be
put
to
the
nose●
the
womb
consents
by
the
Sympathy
of
the
organ
of
smelling
,
and
the
brain
with
it
.
This
is
by
the
nerves
and
arteries
;
for
the
heart
is
presently
refreshed
with
a
sweet
scent
,
because
it
presently
pierceth
into
it
being
●pirit●al
,
and
there
is
a
great
consent
of
the
womb
with
the
brain
and
the
smelling
,
as
is
seen
by
the
tryal
of
barrenness
,
by
a
Fume
from
Hippocrates
.
But
we
must
observe
that
sweet
scents
are
acceptable
to
all
wombs
,
and
stinks
are
not
,
but
the
same
Symptomes
are
not
in
all
women
from
them
;
for
they
who
have
a
womb
of
a
good
constitution
with
no
evil
humors
in
it
,
endu●e
sweet
things
well
,
and
delight
in
them
,
but
they
who
are
unclean
,
hate
sweet
things
,
and
often
〈◊〉
into
●its
by
them
,
because
while
the
womb
is
delighted
with
that
sweet
and
hidden
quality
with
which
it
hath
a
peculiar
Sympathy
,
the
evil
humors
that
lie
in
the
womb
(
especially
if
there
be
any
corruption
from
seed
)
and
the
seed
also
are
stirred
,
and
when
the
Spirits
flie
up
,
the●
take
the
bad
humo●s
with
them
,
and
send
bad
vapors
to
the
heart
which
cause
suffocation
,
and
other
Symptoms
.
But
when
the
same
scents
a●e
put
to
the
privities
,
the
womb
is
refreshed
with
them
,
and
the
Spirits
are
quiet●
or
move
to
the
scents
.
And
so
the
humors
(
if
there
be
any
)
are
still
,
or
else
move
downward
.
But
stinks
on
the
contrary
,
by
reason
of
their
Antipathy
with
the
womb
,
are
voided
by
the
Spirits
,
and
so
the
humors
move
downwards
,
and
o●ten
the●e
is
an
abortion
thereby
.
What
is
spoken
of
sweet
scents
,
may
be
understood
of
all
sweet
things
,
and
this
our
judgment
in
a
matter
so
difficult
.

Fluxes
of

Womb.
Chap.
1.
Of
the
Flux
of
the
Terms
.
BY
divine
providence
the
blood
which
is
voided
every
month
is
kept
in
when
there
is
a
child
;
for
if
it
be
its
nature
,
it
is
not
ill
,
but
onely
superfluous
,
till
they
conceive
,
nor
is
it
more
an
excrement
then
seed
and
milk
.
The
Terms
commonly
begin
at
fourteen
,
and
then
the
hair
appears
on
the
privities
,
the
breasts
swell
,
and
women
begin
to
be
lecherous
▪
and
the
●lood
can
no
longer
stay
in
the
veins
,
but
breaks
●ut
at
the
veins
of
the
womb
.
In
some
they
begin
at
twelve
,
and
they
are
●ery
lustful
commonly
,
and
of
shorter
lives
:
they
●on●inue
till
fifty
;
in
some
till
sixty
,
and
then
●op
.
In
some
they
begin
at
sev●n●●en
or
eigh●en
.
And
in
some
they
stop
〈◊〉
fifty
,
accor●ing
to
the
variety
of
Nature
and
diet
.
Nature
doth
not
send
●ort●
ev●ry
〈◊〉
what
is
●●thered
,
but
sta●es
till
the
plenty
o●●●nds
,
and
●oth
only
once
in
a
month
,
otherwis●
it
would
〈◊〉
filthy
and
unpleasant
,
and
hinde●
co●●ep●ion
.
〈◊〉
do
they
flow
at
one
time
in
all
ex●ctly
,
but
〈◊〉
are
twenty
two
daies
,
or
at
most
th●●ty
be●●en
the
purgings
.
In
some
they
last
three
daies
,
which
was
usual
〈◊〉
the
time
of
Hippocrates
.
In
some
four
or
five
〈◊〉
more
,
as
their
Liver
is
reater
,
or
their
diet
is
〈◊〉
or
lower
.
Hippocrates
saith
,
They
should
bleed
but
a
pint
〈◊〉
half
,
or
two
pints
:
this
is
not
alike
in
all
,
〈◊〉
differs
in
respect
of
age
and
diet
.
As
for
the
quality
,
it
must
not
be
too
thick
no●
〈◊〉
thin
,
but
of
a
middle
substance
,
without
sent
a
red
colour
,
yellower
in
cholerick
persons
,
in
●lancholick
,
black
;
in
flegmatick
,
whiter
,
and
●ust
flow
without
any
great
Symptom
.
The
passages
are
the
veins
of
the
womb
,
being
●uble
from
the
double
branch
on
both
sides
it
,
〈◊〉
Spermati●k
and
Hypogastrick
,
that
they
may
〈◊〉
superf●ui●ies
from
all
parts
.
And
from
this
Description
of
a
natural
flux
,
〈◊〉
may
gather
what
is
preternatural
.
Question
1.
Whether
can
a
Woman
conceive
,
that
never
had
her
Terms
?
They
are
called
by
some
Flowers
,
because
they
go
before
conception
,
as
flowers
do
befor●
fruit
;
but
many
have
●onceived
that
never
〈◊〉
their
flowers
,
being
hotter
by
Nature
,
as
the
〈◊〉
d●ans
that
never
have
any
flowers
;
and
Vir●
goe's
that
use
more
exercise
:
but
if
these
〈◊〉
no
more
blood
then
wil
nourish
their
body
,
th●
are
●arren
.
I●
any
thing
abound
,
that
is
not
required
〈◊〉
nour●●hment
of
the
parts
,
and
it
so
much
th●
Nature
cannot
endure
it
in
the
body
,
the
wo●
draws
it
to
it
when
it
hath
conceived
,
to
ma●
up
the
child
:
of
which
herea●ter
Question
2.
Whether
menstruous
blood
is
o●ly
superfluo●s
in
quantity
,
or
bad
in
respec●
quality
?
Writers
disagree
about
this
.
Some
say
i●
bad
in
quantity
and
quality
,
and
venemou●●
the
effects
,
as
making
Ivory
obscure
,
and
〈◊〉
Looking-glasses
,
corrupting
Wine
,
by
a
〈◊〉
●rom
the
body
of
a
Woman
that
hath
〈◊〉
flower
.
Others
say
they
offend
only
in
plenty
:
〈◊〉
it
were
venemous
,
it
could
not
be
a
whole
mo●
in
the
body
,
and
it
could
not
form
the
child
,
〈◊〉
would
Nature
make
milk
of
it
.
Therefore
menstrual
blood
onely
offends
quantity
,
and
not
in
any
mani●e●t
or
hidden
q●lity
.
But
it
hath
strange
qualities
when
it
is
〈◊〉
with
bad
humors
,
or
is
kept
too
long
in
body
to
be
corrupted
,
and
cause
great
Sy●toms
;
but
this
is
when
it
is
mix●●
with
bad
mors
,
or
is
out
of
its
vessels
,
and
so
corrupts
Question
3.
Of
the
●ext
of
Aristotle
7.
de
hist
.
Animalium
,
c●p●●
.
and
how
it
is
to
be
underst●od
?
Aristotle
writes
thus
,
Constantly
every
month
●ome
have
their
Terms
:
but
most
in
the
third
,
as
●f
he
should
say
,
Few
women
have
their
courses
●very
month
,
but
many
have
them
every
third
●onth
.
This
is
against
Galen
,
and
against
expe●ience
,
for
it
is
certain
,
that
among
six
hundred
women
,
scarce
one
hath
them
every
third
month
.
Therefore
there
is
either
an
errour
in
the
Greek
Text
,
or
in
the
Translation
,
or
great
Men
do
often
〈◊〉
which
is
probable
,
and
so
did
Arist
tle
in
this
of
Physick
.
Therefore
it
is
in
vain
to
defend
their
●rrour
.

2.
Of
the
Terms
flowing
too
soon
.
ORdinarily
they
begin
at
fourteen
;
but
many
have
had
them
sooner
.
A
child
of
ele●en
daies
old
had
a
bloody
humor
flowing
from
〈◊〉
privities
.
Another
of
five
years
old
had
eve●y
month
a
moderate
flux
.
Fernel
reports
that
Girl
of
eight
years
old
had
the
Terms
:
but
these
〈◊〉
rare
,
and
for
the
most
part
very
lecherous
,
〈◊〉
short
lived
.
Chap.
3.
Of
want
and
stopping
of
the
Terms
.
SOme
Women
have
them
not
till
eighteen
or
twenty
.
Some
before
,
and
then
they
stop
for
a
time
without
,
either
giving
suck
,
or
being
with
child
.
Some
have
been
without
them
three
,
five
or
seven
months
,
and
then
they
came
agai●
This
is
an
evil
constitution
,
or
suppression
of
th●●
which
it
ought
to
flow
,
from
the
fault
of
the
blood
and
stoppage
of
the
passages
.
When
Terms
are
wanting
either
blood
is
wanting
,
o●
stopt
.
It
is
wanting
,
either
be●ause
it
i●
not
made
,
or
dispersed
or
turned
to
other
use●
,
for
nature
being
more
sollicito●s
to
preserve
the
individual
person
,
then
to
propagate
the
speci●s
,
spends
〈◊〉
in
preserving
of
the
person
.
Blood
is
not
made
from
divers
causes
,
as
a●e
,
cold
constitution
of
●iver
,
Heart
,
or
a
disease
which
distempers
the
●●wels
.
Or
often
bleeding
from
great
vessels
,
or
●●om
having
many
issues
,
which
take
from
the
blood
.
It
is
spent
other
waies
,
as
before
ripe
age
,
an●
when
women
are
with
child
,
or
give
suck
,
or
i●
hot
Natures
,
and
fat
women
,
in
whom
it
is
tu●ned
to
fat
.
It
is
in
vain
to
provoke
Terms
i●
these
.
There
are
other
external
evident
causes
of
s●●●ping
of
the
Terms
,
as
too
great
labour
,
trouble●●adness
,
fear
;
but
these
last
do
not
only
wast
〈◊〉
blood
,
but
cool
and
corrupt
it
,
and
cause
obs●●ctions
,
as
Hippocrates
speaks
of
Phatusa
the
〈◊〉
of
Pytheus
.
The
proper
causes
are
,
the
straitness
of
〈◊〉
passages
,
or
evil
conformation
of
the
〈◊〉
through
which
it
should
slow
.
Or
the
closin●
the
womb
,
of
which
we
spake
,
but
I
speak
〈◊〉
of
the
ve●sels
.
The
usual
cause
of
obs●●uction
,
is
thick
〈◊〉
humors
,
f●om
the
blood
too
thi●k
,
or
mixed
〈◊〉
melancholy
which
comes
with
it
to
the
vei●●
the
womb
,
and
stops
them
.
This
thick
blood
comes
from
a
cold
distemper
of
the
stomach
,
liver
and
spleen
,
from
thick
and
gross
food
,
and
drinking
cold
water
when
the
Terms
flow
.
So
thought
Galen
in
his
time
of
the
Roman
women
that
drank
Snow-water●
and
had
few
or
no
courses●
Straitness
is
when
the
body
of
the
womb
is
made
thicker
,
either
by
Nature
or
other
causes
;
as
a
cold
and
dry
,
or
hot
and
dry
diste●per
.
Thirdly
,
straitness
is
from
compression
of
the
vessels
,
by
a
Scirrhus
or
hardness
of
the
parts
adjacent
,
as
the
straight
gut
,
or
by
the
stone
in
the
bladder
,
and
the
womb
displaced
.
Fourthly
,
the
flesh
may
grow
together
by
a
membrane
that
grows
to
the
vessels
,
or
a
●●ar
after
a
wound
.
Or
after
a
mischance
,
when
the
veins
annexed
to
the
Secundine
,
grow
so
together
,
that
they
cannot
be
opened
:
of
which
in
the
first
Question
.
They
are
not
the
same
in
women
and
Virgins
,
for
blood
stopt
in
Virgins
,
goes
to
and
●ro
,
changeth
the
colour
,
and
brings
Feavers
,
especially
the
white
Feaver
or
Green-sickness
.
But
in
women
it
goes
more
to
the
womb
,
and
brings
Symptomes
,
as
loathing
,
vomiting
,
and
Pica
.
Galen
hath
other
signs
,
as
heaviness
,
a
lazy
pain
in
the
loyns
,
neck
,
and
behind
in
the
head
,
that
reacheth
to
the
roots
of
the
eyes
,
from
the
sp●eading
of
the
blood
stopt
through
the
whole
body
.
This
laziness
is
chie●ly
in
the
thighs
and
leggs
,
by
reason
of
the
veins
there
consenting
with
the
womb
.
And
are
of
a
green
complexion
,
and
hairy
,
with
a
beard
,
and
shrill
voice
.
You
may
know
women
with
child
,
from
such
a●
want
their
Terms
,
only
by
p●●per
signs
.
First
the
women
with
child
keep
their
colour
,
but
the
other
are
pale
and
ill-c●loured
;
they
are
merry
,
the
other
sad
.
2.
Their
Symptoms
daily
grow
milder
,
but
in
the
other
they
daily
grow
worse
.
3.
You
may
feel
the
child
move
.
4.
It
is
perceived
in
a
month
.
You
shall
know
from
what
causes
the
Terms
are
stopt
,
thus
.
If
the
Liver
be
cold
,
there
is
no
blood
made
that
is
superfluous
,
and
there
are
signs
of
a
●old
Liver
,
and
you
may
know
that
blood
is
not
sent
to
the
womb
,
when
there
is
no
heaviness
,
pain
,
or
tumor
about
the
womb
,
the
liver
or
spleen
are
stopt
.
If
it
be
●rom
flegm
or
melancholy
,
which
is
o●ten
,
there
are
signs
of
their
abounding
,
as
laz●ness
,
paleness
,
seldom
pulse
,
crude
urin
.
Hippocrates
saith
,
That
if
the
Terms
stop
,
ther●
are
diseases
in
the
womb
,
tumors
,
imposthumes
,
ulcers
and
barrenness
,
and
diseases
in
the
whole
body
,
Green-sickness
,
Leucophlegmacy
,
Dropsie
,
Vomiting
of
blood
,
Heart-ach
,
Cough
.
And
the
longer
they
have
been
stopt
,
the
ha●der
they
are
to
be
opened
.
If
the
blood
stop●
go
out
at
the
nose
,
it
is
good
.
If
it
have
great
Symptomes
,
there
is
fear
of
death
.
You
must
not
give
Medicines
to
move
the
Terms
,
to
extenuate
lean
persons
,
nor
to
such
as

Question
1.
Whether
are
the
other
Causes
of
stoppage
of
the
Terms
?
Some
say
the
blood
going
to
other
parts
,
is
a
cause
,
but
it
is
rather
contrary
,
and
the
suppression
of
Terms
is
cause
of
that
;
●or
the
veins
of
the
womb
are
large
enough
to
evacuate
blood
.
Others
say
the
strength
of
the
womb
is
a
cause
,
which
thi●kens
the
vessels
,
that
they
receive
no
blood
.
But
the
womb
is
made
to
receive
it
when
it
abounds
.
Others
accuse
the
strength
,
which
is
to
be
denied
,
but
when
it
is
so
strong
,
that
it
is
too
hot
or
too
dry
,
and
will
not
receive
the
blood
,
and
that
is
a
sign
of
weakness
.
But
there
must
be
strength
in
the
whole
body
,
to
cast
out
superfluous
blood
,
or
there
will
be
other
mischiefs
.
Question
2.
What
Veins
must
be
opened
when
the
Terms
are
s●opt
?
Authors
disagree
in
this
,
as
Aetius
and
Galen
,
who
alwaies
speaks
of
the
ankle
veins
:
and
most
are
of
his
mind
,
being
it
is
rational
.
For
a
vein
opened
in
the
arm
,
doth
rather
revel
from
the
womb
,
then
draw
the
blood
to
it
;
but
in
the
ankle
,
brings
it
to
its
place
,
and
opens
obstructions
,
and
doth
both
lessen
,
and
bring
blood
to
the
womb
,
and
move
that
which
is
in
the
womb
●ixed
.
Open
the
ankle
therefore
twice
or
thrice
,
rather
then
the
arm
once
.
Therefore
Galen
commends
Hippocrates
that
he
opened
a
vein
in
the
ankle
in
the
Servant
of
Schimarg
,
though
she
had
a
Pl●thory●
But
in
other
diseas●s
of
the
womb
,
as
inflam●ation
dropping
,
or
too
many
Terms
,
it
is
good
to
open
a
vein
in
the
arm
.
The
Saphena
is
opened
by
putting
the
foot
in
warm
water
,
before
and
after
.
Question
3.
At
what
time
must
a
Vein
be
opened
against
the
s●●ppage
of
the
Terms
?
Galen
saith
,
It
must
●e
when
Nature
may
be
helped
,
be
the
blood
moved
:
that
is
three
or
four
daies
before
the
usual
time
of
their
coming
,
as
if
she
had
them
alwai●s
in
the
ful
of
t●e
Moon
,
and
they
have
been
stopt
some
months●
bleed
three
or
four
d●ies
before
the
full
,
to
pu●
n●ture
in
mind
of
her
duty
,
and
to
make
the
blood
run
again
.
Chap.
4.
Of
fewness
of
the
Terms
.
IT
is
when
they
flow
less
then
they
use
or
ought
to
●low
.
It
is
either
from
the
blood
,
or
in
the
expulsive
faculty
in
the
passages
.
As
if
blood
●e
little
,
the
Terms
are
few
and
slow
,
if
the
retentive
faculty
is
weak
,
and
the
expulsive
strong
,
they
come
at
due
time
,
but
in
small
quantity
.
If
the
Terms
are
slow
,
the
fault
is
in
the
quality
of
the
blood
being
too
thick
.
Also
straitness
of
the
passages
may
be
a
cause
,
for
if
they
be
not
wide
enough
,
the
blood
cannot
flow
f●eely
.
The
patient
will
tell
the
disease
,
but
the
cau●e
of
it
is
to
be
found
in
the
Chapter
a●oregoing
.
Few
Terms
from
little
blood
is
not
dangerous
,
if
they
be
stopt
from
thick
blood
,
there
follow
diseases
:
as
Erysipelas
,
Scirrhus
or
Cancer
.
See
the
Chapter
aforegoing
for
the
Cure
,
and
and
if
it
be
from
thickness
of
blood
,
it
is
often
cured
by
a
general
Purge
for
the
whole
body
.
Chap.
5.
Of
Dropping
of
the
Terms
.
THis
is
a
flux
,
and
lasts
long
,
and
there
is
pain
.
The
blood
flows
not
conveniently
at
the
due
time
and
manner
,
and
the
privities
are
alwaies
wet
,
as
when
the
urin
drops
.
Are
from
the
blood
and
the
passages
of
it
,
and
the
retentive
faculty
;
as
when
the
blood
is
too
thi●k
and
sharp
,
which
stir
up
Nature
to
let
it
out
,
and
because
it
stretcheth
the
membranes
,
the●e
is
pain
.
Also
the
weakness
of
the
retentive
faculty
is
a
cause
.
The
women
declare
it
,
but
if
it
be
from
thick
blood
and
sharp
and
strait
passages
,
there
is
a
s●●etching
pain
about
the
womb
.
If
it
be
from
c●udity
of
blood
,
and
weakness
of
the
retentive
●aculty
,
the
blood
flows
without
pain
,
and
is
not
much
●elt
.
It
is
troublesom
to
women
,
and
if
it
last
long
,
●auseth
ulcers
and
inflammations
.
It
is
all
in
mending
of
the
thick
and
sharp
●lood
,
and
in
opening
the
passages
,
which
are
●he
two
chief
causes
of
it
,
of
which
we
spake
at
●rge
.
If
blood
be
superfluous
,
loose
it
not
,
nor
open
the
ankle-vein
,
lest
you
draw
it
more
to
the
womb
,
but
take
away
the
Cacochymy
.
If
it
be
from
weakness
of
the
retentive
faculty
,
strengthen
the
womb
with
dryers
and
ash
ingents
.
Chap.
6.
Of
the
overflowin
of
the
Terms
.
IT
is
when
it
is
too
much
or
too
long
,
and
hur●s
any
woman
,
and
brings
diseases
,
but
a
certain
proportion
of
bleeding
is
not
to
be
de●ined
;
but
too
much
is
lost
when
the
actions
are
hurt
.
The
immediate
Cause
is
the
opening
of
the
vessels
,
and
the
mediate
cause
is
the
blood
in
quantity
or
quality
offending
,
or
by
its
force
or
disorderly
motion
.
Vessels
are
opened
by
Anastomosis
,
Diapedesis
,
Diaeresis
or
ruption
,
or
by
Diaurosis
or
co●rosion
.
Anastomosis
is
from
a
moist
distemper
of
the
vessels●
which
loosneth
the
orifices
,
or
from
external
causes
,
as
Baths
,
hot
and
moist
:
or
us●
of
Aloes
.
The
flux
is
seldom
too
great
from
a
Diapedesis
,
for
it
is
but
a
sweating
through
.
Ruption
is
from
plethory
,
when
the
Terms
have
long
been
stopped
,
and
then
break
out
,
and
when
the
bloo●
is
hot
by
air
,
baths
,
&c.
The
outward
causes
are
falls
,
strokes
,
hard
travel
,
great
burdens
lifted
.
Erosion
is
from
sharp
blood
or
humor
,
or
from
Medicines
that
corrode
,
as
Pessaries
long
kept
.
For
this
great
flux
is
chiefly
from
the
veins
in
the
bottom
of
the
womb
.
The
flux
of
blood
is
too
great
,
when
the
strength
abateth
,
and
Cachexy
●ollows
,
with
paleness
,
swoll●n
feet
,
and
the
blood
that
comes
from
the
bottom
of
the
womb
,
is
blacker
and
●lotted●
That
from
the
neck
is
redder
and
thinner
.
The
signs
of
the
causes
.
If
it
be
from
mu●lr
blood
,
there
are
signs
of
plethory
,
and
it
easily
●lotteth
together
.
If
the
blood
be
sharp
and
chol●rick
,
it
is
putre●ied
in
the
womb
,
you
shal
know
waterish
blood
by
its
colour
,
and
the
signs
of
that
humor
abounding
:
and
if
you
dip
a
clout
in
it
,
and
dry
it
in
the
shade
,
you
may
see
it
.
If
the
womb
be
too
moist
,
such
causes
went
before
.
If
it
be
from
breaking
of
veins
,
they
will
tell
you
of
violence
.
If
it
be
from
corrosion
,
it
is
little
and
slow
,
somtimes
pure
,
somtimes
●erous
.
It
wea●n●th
the
whole
body
,
the
liver
and
bowels
,
there
is
swounding
,
the
Whites
,
and
paleness
,
and
Dropsie
somtimes
:
That
which
hath
been
long●
is
hard
to
be
cured
,
and
causeth
death
,
and
in
an
old
woman
it
is
deadly
.
If
there
be
fulness
,
abate
the
blood
,
and
keep
it
from
flowing
to
the
womb
,
revel
it
,
r●p●l
,
cool
and
astringe
it
,
that
it
may
not
flow
so
fa●●
,
and
then
amend
the
blood
.
If
it
is
from
plenty
of
blood
,
open
the
Liver-vein
in
the
right
arm
;
bleed
little
and
often
because
it
makes
better
revulsion
,
and
weakens
not

open

there
be
weakness

cup

Hippocrates

are
misconstrued
in

in
the
flux
of
the
Terms

Chap.

Of
the
Terms
flowing
with
pain
and
Symptoms
.
THe
Symptomes
are
pain
in
the
loyns
or
thighs
,
head-ach
,
biting
at
the
mouth
of
the
stomach
,
pain
in
the
belly
and
loyns
,
fainting
.
They
are
as
in
suppression
of
Terms
,
but
less
vehement
,
and
are
in
them
that
have
not
conceived
.
There
is
obstruction
,
thick
and
gross
blood
,
that
stretcheth
the
vessels
,
and
the
blood
flows
not
orderly
.
A
little
before
the
Terms
,
there
is
head-ach
,
biting
at
the
stomach
,
pain
in
the
loyns
,
and
bottom
of
the
stomach
,
with
beating
at
the
heart
,
and
●ainting
.
When
the
pain
is
from
thick
blood
,
it
comes
forth
in
●lodds
,
and
the
pain
is
worse
be●ore
.
If
it
be
from
wind
,
it
is
sudden
,
and
st●ies
not
in
a
place
,
and
there
is
rumbling
in
the
belly
.
Take
heed
it
tu●n
not
to
the
stoppage
of
terms
,
if
it
be
neglected
.
It
is
greater
in
barren
women
and
Virgins
,
then
in
those

had
children
.
Take
away
the
cause
;
if
they
be
thick
humors
,
evacuate
them

Chap.
8.
Of
evil
discoloured
Terms
.
THis
is
called
the
Terms
depraved
by
bad
humo●s
,
and
so
they
are
voided
.
Blood
is
foul
,
either
from
evil
diet
,
or
evil
humors
,
or
stoppage
of
it
.
The
humors
are
flegm
,
choler
,
or
melancholy
mixed
with
it
,
and
then
the
Te●ms
are
either
pale
,
blew
,
green
,
or
black
and
stinking●
or
white
and
flegmatick
.
They
are
so
from
a
fault
in
the
stomach
.
The
pale
and
yello●
are
a●e
from
too
great
heat
in
the
liver
.
The
bla●k
ar●
from
the
spleen
disordered
.
Tha●
blood
which
is
natural●
is
different
f●om
the
b●d
in
colour
and
substance
:
it
is
like
that
●f
a
new
●●ain
sheep
,
no●
thi●ker
nor
thinner
,
and
●he
●ad
Terms
come
no●●e●sonably
,
but
soon●●
or
later●
of
which
Hippocrates
.
You
may
know
by
the
colour
what
humor
predominates
,
and
by
the
sub●tance
.
The
flegmatick
and
mela●choly
are
long
in
coming
,
and
the
cholerick
waterish
Terms
come
q●icker
.
The
more
they
di●●er
from
the
natural
s●ate
,
the
worse
they
are
,
black
and
stinking
are
worst
.
The
matte●y
are
wo●st
of
all
.
If
these
flow
seven
,
eight
or
nine
d●ies
,
she
is
cured
:
if
they
ulcerate
the
womb
,
she
is
barren
.
Hippocrates
saith
they
must
be
purg●d
and
prepared
with
proper
things
,
as
we
shewed
in
the
distempers
of
the
Womb.
But
take
heed
that
you
move
not
the
Terms
when
you
attenuate
,
for
that
wil
melt
the
●erous
humors
,
and
fix
them
more
in
the
vessels
:
use
neither
Vinegar
no●
sharp
things
.
After
purging
,
consume
the
reliques
by
sweat
;
if
choler
be
in
fault
that
must
not
be
sweated
out
,
discuss
it
with
warm
Baths
,
and
do
so
in
melancholy
.
Use
Pessaries
,
Fomentations
and
Fumes
to
the
womb
.
Give
Treacle
,
Mithridate
,
or
the
Decoction
of
An●elica
roots
,
if
cold
humors
are
the
cause
.
Chap.
9.
Of
Terms
coming
before
their
time
.
THese
shew
an
ill
constitution
.
And
it
is
a
depraved
excretion
of
the
Terms
that
comes
for
the
time
often
,
f●r
somtimes
they
fl●w
sooner
,
or
twice
in
a
month
.
The
immediate
Cause
is
hurt
of
the
retentive
and
expul●ive
faculty
,
so
that
the
blood
flows
not
or
sooner
or
late●
,
or
oftner
:
the
cause
why
they
come
sooner
,
is
in
the
blood
that
stirs●up
the
expulsive
faculty
in
the
whole
body
,
or
in
the
womb
:
somtimes
all
causes
meet
,
the
blood
is
too
much
,
or
too
sharp
and
hot
;
and
if
the
retentive
faculty
in
the
womb
be
weak
,
and
the
expulsive
strong●
and
of
quick
sense
,
it
is
sooner
.
A
fall
,
stroke
or
passion
are
the
evident
Causes
.
They
will
relate
it
:
and
the
signs
of
the
causes
are
these
.
If
it
be
from
much
blood
,
there
are
the
signs
of
plethory
;
heat
,
thinness
,
and
sharp
humors
are
known
by
the
distemper
of
the
whole
.
The
weakness
of
the
retentive
faculty
,
and
loosness
of
the
vessels
is
known
from
a
loose
and
moist
habit
of
body
.
It

Of
Terms
that
come
after
their
usual
time
.
VVHen
they
stay
longer
then
ordinary
,
and
return
without
order
at
no
set
time
:
the
causes
are
little
and
thick
blood
,
straitness
of
the
passages
,
weakness
of
the
expulsive
faculty
,
and
dulness
.
Either
of
these
causes
may
stop
the
Terms
,
bu●
if
all
meet
,
the
disease
is
worse
For
if
blood
be
not
bred
in
such
a
quantity
,
that
it
may
prick
Nature
forward
to
expel
it
,
the
purging
of
it
is
di●●ered
,
till
there
be
enough
to
stir
up
Nature
to
expel
it
.
If
thi●k
humors
are
in
the
blood
,
the
passages
stopt
,
and
the
faculty
weak
,
the
Terms
mu●t
needs
be
disordered
,
and
the
purging
of
them
differed
longer
.
If
it
be
from
want
of
blood
,
she
hath
either
lived
poor
in
diet
,
or
exercised
too
much
,
and
she
●inds
no
inconvenience
by
the
want
of
her
Terms
.
If
it
be
from
gross
slimy
blood
,
there
are
signs
of
Cacochymy
.
The
weakness
of
the
faculty
is
known
by
the
cold
distemper
of
the
womb
.
It
is
not
so
dangerous
as
stoppage
of
the
terms
,
but
it
is
bad
enough
in
a
plethorick
or
cacochymical
body
.
If
little
blood
be
,
use
a
●uller
diet
,
and
exercise
not
.
If
blood
be
gross
and
foul
,
make
it
thin
,
and
cut
it
,
and
after
Preparatives
,
let
the
humors
mixed
therewith
,
be
evacuated
.
It
is
good
to
purge
presently
after
the
Terms
,
and
to
use
Calamints
,
and
to
purge
often
.
Also
four
or
five
daies
before
the
Terms
,
sca●i●●e
the
ankles
,
and
hold
the
feet
in
warm
wa●●●
,
●ub
the
legs
,
apply
Cupp●ng-glasses
without
S●●●ification
to
the
inside
of
the
thighs
,
and
use
Fumes
and
Pessaries
.
Anoin●
the
bottom
of
the
belly
with
things
to

the

.
If
there

,
use

It

more

It
is
best
when

it
is
a
part
that
Nature
useth

Of
the
Whites
.
IT
is
a
●oul
excretion
from
the
womb
,
white
,
and
somtimes
blew
,
or
green
,
or
reddish
,
no
:
at
a
set
time
,
nor
every
month
,
but
disorderly
,
longer
or
shorter
.
Before
or
after
the
Terms
,
and
when
they
are
stopt
.
Virgins
seldom
have
this
disease
,
and
women
with
child
have
it
somtimes
.
It
differs
from
the
running
of
the
reins
;
for
it
is
in
less
quantity
,
whiter
and
thicker
,
and
at
a
greater
distance
.
It
differs
from
night
pollution
,
which
is
onely
in
sleep
with
imagination
of
Venery
.
The
immediate
Cause
is
an
excrementitious
humor
,
flegm
,
choler
or
melancholy
.
Somtimes
it
is
like
waterish
blood
.
It
is
gathered
in
the
whole
body
,
or
in
the
stomach
,
liver
or
spleen
.
For
they
who
have
crudities
in
the
stomach
,
are
subject
to
this
disease
.
Somtimes
the
womb
alone
is
distempered
after
often
mischances
,
or
when
the
womb
is
very
cold
and
moist
.
This
matter
flows
through
the
veins
of
the
womb
,
or
of
the
neck
of
it
,
which
use
to
carry
blood
,
and
Nature
abuseth
them
to
carry
excrements
,
especially
if
they
are
bred
in
the
womb
.
The
remote
causes
are
whatsoever
doth
breed
●ad
humors
;
some
have
it
after
strong
purges
,
or
long
bathing
.
Somtimes
they
are
pale
,
somtimes
blew
,
red
,
waterish
and
green
:
somtimes
slimy
,
or
cold
,
or
sharp
,
or
stinking
.
In
young
people
it
is
reddish
.
The
face
is
discoloured
,
the
urin
thick
,
there
is
loathing
and
heartach
.
If
the
humor
be
sharp
and
corrupt
,
there
is
a
Feaver
.
If
it
be
flegmatick
and
much
,
the
ligaments
of
the
womb
are
loose
,
and
it
falls
out
,
thus
Hippocrates
,
and
there
are
saith
he
swelled
eyes
,
evil
colour
,
and
short
breathing
.
If
it
be
not
bred
in
the
womb
,
the
humor
is
from
a
Cacochymy
.
If
it
be
from
a
fault
in
another
part
,
the
signs
of
that
wil
appear
If
it
come
only
from
the
womb
,
there
will
be
but
little
:
if
from
the
whole
body
,
there
will
be
more
.
It
is
often
,
long
with
little
inconvenience
,
b●●
it
must
be
looked
to
,
lest
it
be
worse
,
for
it
o●●●●
brings
ulcers
,
Cachexy
,
falling
out
of
the
wom●
,
Consumption
,
Fainting
,
Convulsions
,
when
the
matter
is
sent
to
the
brain
or
nerves
.
And
the
worse
the
humor
is
,
the
greater
is
the
disease
.
It
must
not
be
suddenly
stopt
,
lest
it
go
to
th●
noble
parts
.
First
,
see
whether
it
be
from
the
whole
body
,
or
any
pa●t
,
or
from
the
womb
it self
.
If
fro●
the
whole
body
,
which
is
often
,
make
general
evacuation
,
and
turn
the
humors
from
the
womo
,
and
keep
a
good
diet
,
lest
they
come
again
.
I
allow
not
bleeding
in
the
arm
,
if
the
Terms
be
stopt
;
for
they
cause
a
Cacochymy
,
which
admits
no
bleeding
.
Moreover
the
mass
of
blood
may
be
made
●oul
by
them
;
therefore
find
o●●
whether
it
comes
from
Cacochymy
or
Plethory
.
And
when
it
is
most
like
to
come
from
Cacochymy
,
bleed
not
.
Therefore
if
flegm
abound
,
which
is
mo●●
usual
,
after
general
purging
,
consume
the
relique●
with
Guajacum
and
Sar●a
,
and
a
drying
diet
,
and
by
provoking
urin
,
of
which
hereafter
.
If
sharp
and
cholerick
humors
abound
,
temper
them
with
gentle
astringents
,
as
Succory
,
Endive
,
Sorrel
,
to
prepare
,
purge
with
Rhubat●
,
Triphera
Per●ica
,
aggregative
Pills
,
and
Pills
〈◊〉
Rhubarb
.
If
it
be
melancholy
,
do
as
in

.
If
it
be
water
,
cure
it
as

If
it
be

,
liver
,
or
the
like
,
prevent
it
from
increase
,
and
because
it
is
most
about
the
stomach
,
give
a
Vomit
,
but
not
too
strong
.
Then
strengthen
the
stomach
with
h●●
and
dry
Medicines
.
If
choler
abound
,
the
distemper
is
hot
,
and
then
cool
it
.
If
it
come
from
the
womb
,
do
as
I
shewed
,
f●om
what
cause
soever
it
is
:
Baths
are
good
to

and
divert
,
and
strengthen
,
and
take
away
a
moist
distemper
,
provided
they
are
proper
for
the
constitution
.
Use
Dryers
and
Astringents
.

Question
Whether
are
Diureticks

Whites

Diureticks
that
provoke

do
also
provok●
the
terms
;
therefore
the
reliques
of
the
humo●s
would
be
carried
by
them
to
the
womb
,
but
these
move
the
terms
secondarily
:
but
if
the
body
be
well
purged
,
first
they
will
not
make
the
flux
greater
,
but
bring
it
out
by
urin
.
Chap.

Of
a
Gonorrhaea
.
THe
running
of
the
Reins
may
be
in
all
women
that
are
fit
for
a
man
,
for
it
is
the
flux
of
natural
seed
.
It
is
in
men
and
women
from
the
French
pox
,
but
when
stinking
humors
do
flow
,
it
is
not
properly
called
a
Gonorrhaea
.
The
chief
Cause
is
the
weakness
of
the
retentive
faculty
,
and
the
loosness
and
largeness
of
the
seed-vessels
:
the
causes
of
these
are
shewed
in
the
Gonorrhaea
of
men
.
The
women
will
declare
it
,
and
the
greatness
and
the
colour
;
for
if
it
be
white
and
little
and
thick
,
and
at
distance
,
it
is
a
true
Gonorrhaea
.
If
it
continue
,
it
brings
a
Consumption
and
barrenness
.
The
Cure
of
Gonorrhaea
and
night
pollution
is
P●act
.

but
I
shall
add
this
,
if
it
come
from
plenty
of
seed
.
The
Buds
of
the
Salix
o●
Willow
,
〈…〉
called
the
Closing
of
the
Womb.
〈…〉
famous
Physitians
and
Anatomists
say
〈…〉
is
a
Hymen
,
which
is
the
sign
of
Virginity
.
〈…〉
they
say
a
membrane
wrinkled
with
〈…〉
like
Mi●tleberries
,
like
the
bud
of
a
Rose
half
〈…〉
hence
came
the
word
〈◊〉
I
think
with
the
Ancients
,
that
〈◊〉
is
something
in
these
parts
that
distinguis●●●n
Virgins
from
women
,
which
is
violated
in
the
fi●●●
copul●tion
:
many
say
they
have
it
:
and
we
may
believe
them
.
For
it
is
certain
that
●h●re
is
an
alteration
at
first
in
Vi●gins
which
causeth
pain
,
and
bleeding
which
is
a
sign
of
Virginity
.
But
what
this
is
,
it
is
not
yet
known
ma●i●●●●ly
.
Some
say
it
is
a
nervous
membrane
,
with
small
veins
,
which
bleed
at
the
first
bout
.
Some
say
there
are
●our
Caruncles
tied
together
with
small
membranes
.
Some
have
observed
a
fleshy
Circle
about
the
Nymphae
with
obscure
little
veins
,
which
makes
the
membrane
not
to
be
nervous
but
fleshy
.
To
be
short
.
I
suppose
it
to
be
certain
,
that
the
part
which
receives
the
Yard
,
is
not
in
them
that
have
used
a
man
,
as
in
Virgins
,
nor
is
it
alike
in
all
;
and
this
hath
caused
the
diversity
of
opinions
in
Anatomists
.
Moreover
this
is
not
found
in
all
Virgins
,
because
some
are
very
lustful●
and
when
it
itcheth
,
they
put
in
their
finger
,
o●
some
other
thing
,
and
break
the
membrane
:
so●times
the
Midwives
break
it
.
Question
2.
Whether
do
all
Virgins
at
the
first
bout
,
or
Copulation
,
bleed
?
The
Africans
had
a
custom
to
shut
the
Bride
groom
and
the
Bride
up
in
a
Chamber
,
after
they
were
married
,
till
they
prepared
the
Wedding-dinner
.
And
an
old
woman
stood
at
the
door
,
to
receive
a
bloody
sheet
from
the
Bridegroom
,
that
she
might
shew
it
in
triumph
to
all
the
guess
,
and
that
then
they
might
●east
with
joy
.
And
if
there
was
no
blood
to
be
seen
,
the
Bride
was
to
be
sent
home
●o
her
friends
with
disgrace
,
and
the
guess
went
●adly
home
without
their
Dinners
.
Some
say
from
experience
,
that
some
honest
Virgins
have
lost
their
Maiden-heads
without
bleeding
,
and
that
it
is
a
certain
sign
of
Virginity
when
they
bleed
,
and
when
they
do
not
,
they
ar●
not
to
be
censured
as
unchast
.
I
hold
that
young
Virgins
will
bleed
but
when
they
are
in
years
,
by
reason
of
the
long
continuance
of
the
terms
,
the
parts
are
harder
and
larger
;
and
if
the
mans
Yard
be
small
,
there
is
no
necessity
of
bleeding
.
Or
if
the
girl
was
wanton
asore
,
and
by
long
handling
,
hath
dilated
the
part
,
or
broke
it
,
there
is
no
blood
after
copulation
.
Therefore
Deut.
chap
22.
the
Law
of
Moses
is
taken
for
that
which
happeneth
often
,
and
for
the
most
part
.
And
there
can
be
no
more
ga●hered
f●om
hence
,
but
bleeding
is
an
undoubted
sign
of
Virginity
.
The
same
may
be
said
of
the
African
custom
.
Question
3.
Whether
is
the
straitness
of
the
privi●ies
a
sign
of
Virginity
?
The
privities
are
straiter
in
some
according
t●
age
,
habit
of
body
,
and
other
circumstances
,
and
Virgins
are
straiter
then
women
that
have
been
at
it
.
But
I
deny
that
straitness
is
a
certain
argument
of
Virginity
.
For
after
many
acts
of
Venery
,
it
may
be
made
so
strait
by
astringent
Medicines●
that
Whores
may
be
taken
for
Virgins
;
as
we
shewed
concerning
a
Wench
that
was
married
,
and
to
appear
a
Virgin
,
she
used
a
Bath
of
Com●rey
roots
.
Question
4
Wh●●her
is
Mi●k
i●
the
breasts
a
sig●
o●
Virginity
lost
?
Some
say
that
there
can
be
no
milk
in
the
b●easts
,
ti●l
a
woman
hath
conceived
:
and
Virgins
have
neither
the
cause
nor
the
end
why
milk
is
made
.
And
the
terms
sto●t
do
rather
co●rupt
then
turn
to
milk
.
And
though
there
be
alwaies
in
the
breasts
a
faculty
to
make
milk
,
yet
doth
it
not
shew
its
power
,
but
upon
an
object
,
and
for
some
end
.
Some
say
that
Virgins
may
have
milk
,
and
urge
this
Saying
of
Hippo●ra●es
,
If
any
have
milk
wh●n
she
is
neither
with
child
nor
breeding●
th●ir
●erms
are
stopt
.
Galen
is
of
the
same
opinion
,
and
though
it
be
seldom
,
●et
he
saith
it
is
possible
And
Alexander
Benedictus
and
Christopher
de
Vega
saw
it
.
We
shall
not
contradict
Hippocrates
and
expe●ience
,
but
there
is
a
two●old
milk
.
The
one
of
Virgins
.
The
other
of
those
that
have
brought
forth
or
conceived
.
The
first
is
made
of
blood
,
that
cannot
get
out
at
the
womb
,
but
goes
to
the
breasts
;
and
this
is
nothing
but
a
superfluous
nourishment
of
the
breasts
,
that
turns
milk
by
●he
faculty
of
the
breasts
,
without
the
company
●f
a
man
or
conc●p●ion
.
T●e
other
is
only
when
●here
is
a
child
:
of
this
milk
it
is
true
what
Hip●●●rates
writes
,
It
is
a
certain
sign
of
a
Mole
,
when
●r●at
b●ll●●d
women
ha●e
no
milk
in
their
breasts
.
●nd
true
milk
in
the
breasts
is
a
sign
of
a
live
●hild
in
the
womb
.
These
milks
differ
in
respect
of
the
blood
,
and
diversity
of
the
veins
that
bring
it
to
the
breasts
,
and
though
both
are
white
,
yet
that
of
Virgins
is
thinnest
,
no●
is
it
so
much
,
nor
so
sweet
;
this
may
breed
in
the
veins
according
to
Aristotle
,
from
the
supers●uous
nourishment
of
the
breasts
:
and
if
Virgins
have
it
,
they
are
not
to
be
termed
●nchast
.
Chap.
2.
Of
the
Green-sickness
,
or
white
Feaver
.
THis
is
in
Virgins
fit
for
a
man
,
it
is
call●d
the
Virgins
disease
,
and
the
white
Feaver
,
not
that
there
is
alwaies
a
feaver
,
but
because
their
face
is
like
people
in
a
feaver
.
It
is
thus
defined
.
The
Virgins
disea●e
,
is
the
changing
of
the
natural
colour
into
a
pale
and
green
with
faintness
,
heaviness
of
body
,
loathing
of
meat
,
palpitation
of
heart
,
difficult
breathing
,
sadness
swelling
of
the
●eet
,
eyelids
and
face
,
from
depraved
nourishment
.
The
first
Cause
is
stoppage
of
terms
.
The
next
is
the
gathering
of
bad
humors
;
for
when
the
way
to
the
womb
is
stopt
,
the
blood
returns
to
the
great
vessels
and
bowels
,
and
choaks
thei●
heat
,
and
stops
the
vessels
,
and
spoils
the
making
of
blood
,
and
then
there
are
crudities
,
which
being
brought
to
the
habit
of
the
body
,
cannot
b●
united
perfectly
to
the
parts●
and
cause
a
Cach●xy
,
which
is
the
way
to
a
Dropsie
and
Leu●ophlegmac●
,
and
divers
Symptoms
.
The
caus●●
of
the
o●structions
of
the
vessels
of
the
womb
,
are
crude
humors
,
and
●legmatick
●limy
blood●
from
evil
diet
,
and
drinking
o●
vinegar
,
or
eating
raw
corn
,
chalk
,
ashes
,
lime
,
earth
,
●lay
,
and
the
like
.
There
is
a
pale
and
green
colour
,
the
face
is
s●ollen
,
and
the
eye-brows
in
the
morning
after
sleep
especially
;
the
ankles
swell
,
and
the
whole
body
is
loose
,
and
moist
from
much
water
:
the
l●ggs
are
lazy
,
the
pulse
is
little
and
often
,
in
the
neck
,
temples
and
back
.
The
heart
beats
,
the
breath
is
short
when
they
go
up
stairs
,
they
loath
meat
.
Some
have
the
Pica
,
or
desire
to
eat
absurd
things
.
The
terms
are
stopt
,
the
Hypocho●dria
are
swollen
;
somtimes
they
vomit
,
if
vapors
●●ie
to
the
head
,
there
is
thirst
and
headach
;
and
if
melancholy
be
mixed
,
the
animal
actions
are
hurt
.
These
are
not
all
in
all
people
,
but
most
are
in
most
,
and
in
some
all
.
It
is
often
turned
to
a
Dropsie
.
Some
after
death
have
had
a
Scirrhus
,
hard
liver
:
some
die
suddenly
,
the
heart
being
oppressed
.
If
the
stomach
be
much
afflicted
,
it
is
dangerous
,
and
they
loath
meat
much
.
If
it
come
from
the
womb
alone
,
it
is
easier
cured
.
It
is
best
to
begin
in
the
Spring
or
Summer
:
after
a
Clyster
,
open
a
vein
the
ankle
.
Then
heat
the
thick
cold
humor
,
and
make
it
thin
;
and●because
it
is
too
much
to
be
purged
at
once
,
prepare
and
purge
often
,
and
mix
atten●aters
and
cutters
with
your
purges
.
When
the
humors
are
above
the
stomach
and
Mesentery
,
it
is
good
to
vomit
those
that
can
easily
vomit
,
and
to
give
liver-physick
,
or
spleen
,
or
womb-physick
,
even
as
in
Leucophlegmacy
,
●ee

Chapter

But
in
this
disease
,
alwaies
consider

Question
1.
Whether
may
the
woman
in
this
Disease
be
allowed
the
absurd
things
they
long
for
?
They
are
Virgins
or
women
with
child
that
long
for
such
things
,
Virgins
must
not
be
allowed
them
,
as
chalk
,
&c.
for
they
will
increase
the
disease
.
Women
with
child
must
be
pleased
with
fair
wo●ds●
to
abstain
from
them
;
but
if
the
appetite
wil
not
be
allayed
,
rather
grant
them
,
then
suffer
an
abortion
or
mark
upon
the
child
.
Question
2.
Is
motion
and
exercise
good
in
the
Green-sickness
?
They
are
better
then
idleness
which
heaps
up
crudities
,
they
raise
the
languishing
heat
in
the
bowels
,
and
help
the
nourishment
to
be
distributed
:
therefore
they
are
to
be
used
before
the
disease
be
great
,
and
in
the
declination
they
discuss
the
humors
.
But
use
moderation
,
least
you
weaken
the
body
,
or
choak
them●
First
therefore
use
Frictions
,
then
watching
,
then
more
exercise
after
convenient
purging
.
Question
3.
Whether
is
Venery
good
for
Maids
in
the
Green-sickness
?
It
is
probable
,
and
agreeable
to
reason
and
experience
that
Venery
is
good
Hippocrates
bids
them
presently
marry
,
for
if
they
conceive
they
are
cured
.
John
Langius
●aith
this
disease
comes
in
the
ripeness
of
age
or
presently
after
.
Venery
heats
the
womb
and
the
parts
adjacent
,
opens
and
loosens
the
passages
,
so
that
the
terms
may
better
flow
to
the
womb
.
But
if
there
be
a
great
Cacochymy
,
take
that
away
before
she
be
married
,
and
then
Venery
may
do
more
then
Physick
.
But
use
it
not
in
the
vigor
of
the
disease
,
nor
in
weakness
.
Question
4.
Whether
is
Blood-letting
good
in
this
Disease
?
A
Cachexy
beginning
with
coldness
of
the
whole
body
,
seem
to
deny
bleeding
,
and
because
the
crude
humors
are
in
fault
rather
then
blood
.
But
Hippocrates
adviseth
bleeding
at
the
first
.
If
it
be
a
new
disease
,
and
comes
from
stopt
terms
,
and
blood
abound
that
is
stopt
,
and
not
turned
into
another
humor
,
you
may
boldly
bleed
,
provided
the
strength
permit
,
and
the
passages
be
open
.
But
in
an
old
disease
when
crude
flegm
abounds
,
bleed
not
,
for
it
will
increase
the
disease

3.
Of
Symptomes
from
the
Womb
,
and
Mother-fits
in
General
.
IT
is
not
to
be
expressed
what
miserable
diseases
women
are
subject
to
:
both
Virgins
and
others
from
the
womb
,
and
its
consent
with
other
parts
.
For
when
terms
or
blood
are
stopt
,
there
are
great
Symptoms
,
and
while
they
putrefie
or
get
evil
qualities
▪
the
Symptoms
are
grievous
,
and
almost
unexpressible
.
One
woman
may
have
divers
Symptoms
from
the
womb
at
the
same
time
,
when
the
seed
and
terms
are
mixed
with
other
humors
after
they
are
corrupted
,
and
there
is
more
sometimes
,
and
such
noble
substance
as
seed
and
terms
being
corrupted
,
are
like
poyson
.
The
consent
with
other
parts
,
is
from
likeness
of
parts
,
nearness
,
or
connexion
of
vessels
.
And
because
the
womb
is
membranous
,
it
hath
a
great
consent
with
the
membranes
and
nerves
.
Also
the
parts
adjacent
are
easily
infected
.
And
thirdly
,
it
hath
consent
with
all
the
body
by
veins
,
arte●ies
and
nerves
.
It
consents
with
the
brain
by
the
nerves
,
and
membranes
of
the
back-marrow
:
it
cons●nts
with
the
heart
by
the
ar●eries
,
with
the
liver
by
the
veins
,
which
are
great
in
the
womb
,
and
therfore
the
blood
and
bad
humors
go
back
to
the
●●ver
.
It
consents
with
the
stomach
by
Anastomosis
in
the
veins
of
the
Mesentery
,
and
by
the
arteries
through
foul
humors
and
vapors
go
from
the
womb
to
the
Mesentery
and
stomach
.
It
con●ents
with
the
spleen
by
the
arteries
;
therefore
many
women
that
had
not
their
terms
enough
in
their
youth
,
and
have
hot
blood
,
are
●fter
Hypochondriack
,
and
a
Physitian
can
scarce
distinguish
these
diseases
of
the
womb
and
spleen
nor
cure
them
severally
.
It
consents
with
the
papps
by
veins
and
ner●es
,
and
the
heart
,
Diaghragma
,
head
,
brain
,
and
all
the
org●ns
of
sense
and
motion
;
with
the
liver
,
spleen
,
stomach
,
belly
,
mesentery
,
bladder
,
strait
●ut
,
back
,
hips
,
arms
and
legs
,
and
causeth
sym●toms
.
As
Galen
●aith
the
mother
or
hysterical
●●●●ion
is
one
name
,
but
hath
under
it
innume●●ble
Symptoms
.
Chap.
4.
Of
Suffocation
of
the
Womb.
IN
this
they
seem
to
be
strangled
.
And
there
are
so
many
Symptoms
at
once
,
that
it
is
impossible
to
define
it
by
one
.
Sometimes
there
is
only
short
breath
,
sometimes
the
animal
actions
are
hurt
,
the
whole
body
is
cold
from
a
malignant
vapor
sent
up
from
the
womb
.
The
immediate
Cause
,
is
a
vapor
malignant
and
venemous
,
sent
up
by
the
arteries
,
veins
and
nerves
that
hurt
the
actions
of
the
parts
it
goes
to
.
This
vapor
is
like
air
or
wind
,
thin
and
little
but
very
strong
,
to
get
presently
through
the
whole
body
;
it
chie●ly
ascends
to
the
gullet
,
and
causeth
choaking
,
as
eating
of
Mushrooms
,
Hellebore
,
and
other
poysons
.
There
is
often
short
difficult
breathing
,
with
heart-ach
,
vomiting
,
and
loathing
.
If
the
vapor
go
first
to
the
heart
,
the
motion
of
it
ceaseth
,
and
there
is
swounding
,
and
she
falls
down
.
If
it
go
to
the
brain
,
the
animal
actions
are
hurt
.
When
●eed
and
terms
corrupt
in
the
womb
,
with
other
bad
humors
,
they
breed
this
evil
vapor
;
because
they
are
the
best
substance
,
and
the
beginning
of
generation
,
they
are
worst
when
corrupted
,
especially
seed
to
hurt
the
whole
body
.
Somtimes
it
is
in
women
with
child
,
when
they
have
not
their
after
pu●ging
,
but
evil
humors
a●e
le●t
,
and
corrupt
in
the
womb
.
The
chief
cause
of
this
humor
,
is
in
the
trumpet
of
the
womb
and
stones
,
the
body
of
which
is
hollow
and
loose
,
the
stones
being
in
bladders
,
and
have
hollowness
full
of
water
,
which
in
hyst●rical
women
is
yellow
and
thicker
then
ordinary
.
This
trumpet
and
the
stones
are
often
taken
for
the
womb
it self●
when
they
are
swollen
with
corrupt
seed
,
and
humors
,
and
wind
,
and
reach
to
the
navel
:
of
which
in
the
Chapter
of
ascent
of
the
Womb.
This
disease
is
breeding
sooner
or
longer
,
as
the
matter
is
more
or
less
,
somtimes
corrupt
humo●s
lie
still
,
and
if
they
be
stirred
,
they
send
a
venom
or
vapor
to
the
whole
body
:
now
in
women
subject
to
this
disease
,
sweet
s●ents
to
the
nose
,
or
taken
in
,
or
anger
will
move
these
huhumors
and
vapors
.
They
are
according
to
the
variety
of
the
symptoms
and
efficient
cause
,
or
venemous
humors
,
for
corrupt
blood
,
especially
seed
,
puts
on
another
Nature
.
That
Suffocation
is
at
hand
,
it
appears
by
laziness
,
weakness
of
the
legs
,
paleness
,
sad
countenance
,
and
the
motion
of
somthing
like
a
ball
in
the
belly
,
with
noise
like
Froggs
,
Snakes
,
or
Crows
,
so
that
some
think
it
devillish
.
There
is
also
belching
,
yawning
,
yexing
,
short
wind
,
heart-beating
,
loathing
,
dulness
,
laughture
at
the
coming
of
the
fit
,
●rom
the
vapor
g●tting
into
the
membr●ne
of
the
breast
,
that
tickle
them
:
some
cry
,
some
both
laugh
and
cry
.
These
Symptoms
increase
when
the
fit
comes
and
the
jaws
are
closed
,
that
she
seems
to
be
choaked
,
and
sense
and
motion
is
gone
or
depraved
.
Some
have
Convulsions
,
some
h●ar
what
is
done
about
them
,
but
cannot
speak
,
the
●ul●e
i●
less
,
the
whole
body
is
cold
,
and
the
eyes
〈◊〉
as
if
they
were
dead
.
When
the
●it
declines
,
humors
s●ow
from
the
●riv●●i●s
,
the
gu●s
rumble
,
the
eyes
open
,
the
cheeks
grow
red
,
and
the
body
warm
,
the
animal
actions
return
,
and
the
patient
sighs
,
and
comes
to
her self
.
It
is
known
to
be
from
corrupt
seed
,
if
the
terms
are
in
order
,
and
short
breath
,
and
low
voice
,
Suffocation
and
Convulsions
,
and
all
Symptomes
are
then
more
vehement
,
and
at
the
end
of
the
fit
there
flows
a
humor
like
seed
out
of
the
privities
.
It
is
from
the
terms
if
they
be
stopt
,
or
flow
not
orderly
,
and
if
there
be
a
dis●ase
in
the
womb
,
it
is
neither
from
the
seed
no●
the
terms
.
1.
If
there
come
swounding
,
or
a
great
Convulsion
,
or
quenching
of
natural
heat
,
it
is
deadly
.
2.
Suffocation
from
corrupt
seed
,
is
more
dangerous
then
that
which
is
from
the
terms
mixt
with
melancholick
humors
.
3.
The
longer
it
lasts
,
and
the
worse
the
symptoms
,
the
more
is
the
danger
.
It
ceaseth
in
yong
women
when
they
begin
to
bear
children
.
4.
The
oftner
the
fit
comes
,
the
more
you
may
●ear
the
quenching
of
the
natural
heat
by
weakning
of
the
heart
often
,
and
if
she
foam
at
the
mouth
,
she
dies
.
The
Cure
of
the
Fit.
In
the
fit
you
must
discuss
the
malignant
vapors
that
riseth
from
the
womb
,
and
turn

principal
parts

Quest●●●
1.
What
preterna●ural
diseases
is
the
〈◊〉
of
the
Womb
properly
?
●●me
say
it
is
a
cold
distemper
in
quality
chan●
,
they
say
right
,
but
coldness
is
not
the
chief
●●●●om
.
Others
say
it
is
respiration
hurt
,
Syn●●●
or
Convulsion
.
But
it
canno●
be
defined
by
one
Symptom
.
Fo●
somtimes
the
animal
actions
are
hurt
,
and
there
is
a
Megrim
,
Delirium
,
Convulsion
,
and
sense
and
motion
are
gone
.
Nor
is
it
strange
,
that
so
small
a
vapor
should
bring
such
Symptomes
,
for
it
hath
an
occult
venom
in
it●
which
is
strong
,
for
it
goes
many
waies
,
and
to
many
parts
.
Question
2.
What
is
the
true
Caus●
of
the
〈◊〉
of
the
Mother
?
I
say
it
is
the
malignant
vapors
that
flie
up
from
the
womb
:
for
it
doth
not
work
by
a
manifest
quality
,
but
by
a
venom
which
Galen
sait●
is
like
that
of
a
Torpedo
,
or
Phalanx
,
or
Scorpion
,
which
are
little
in
bulk
,
but
do
great
mi●chief
,
being
enemies
to
the
vital
spirits
and
hea●
by
which
there
is
a
coldness
all
over
,
and
s●o●
breath
from
the
actions
of
the
heart
hurt
.
Fo●
when
the
heart
is
hurt

or
the
vital
Spirits
,
eithe●
suffocated
or
corrupted
,
there
are
no
good
animal
Spirits
bred

and
they
not
flowing
to
th●

hinder
the
motion

Also
this
malignant
vapor
is
an
enemy
〈◊〉
the
animal
Spirits
,
and
makes
doting

Co●vulsions
when
it
gets
to

The

corrupt

for

they

the

Question
3.
Is
it
good
to
give
Wine
in
a
●it
of
the
Mother
?
Hippocrat●●
and
Avicen
quarrel
about
this
.
The
fi●st
allo●s
wine
because
they
are
weak
,
and
nothing
sooner
re●resheth●
But
Avicen
is
for
water
,
and
forbids
flesh
,
for
they
increase
seed
and
●lood
.
But
in
the
time
of
the
●it
wine
is
proper
,
and
Avicen
doth
not
speak
of
the
●it
,
but
of
the
diet
out
of
the
●it
,
when
it
comes
from
plenty
of
seed
and
blood
;
nor
will
a
little
wine
in
the
time
of
●●e
●it
get
presently
to
the
womb
.
Chap.
5.
Of
the
Frenzie
of
the
Womb.
IT
is
a
great
and
foul
Symptome
of
the
womb●
both
in
Virgins
and
Widdows
,
and
such
as
●ave
known
man.
These
are
mad
for
lust
,
and
in●i●e
men
,
and
lie
down
to
them
,
and
it
differs
●rom
Salacity
,
because
in
that
there
is
no
Deli●ium
.
It
is
an
immoderate
desire
of
Venery
that
●akes
women
almost
mad
,
or
a
Delirium
from
●n
iminoderate
desire
of
Venery
:
it
is
without
a
●e●ve●
,
and
with
heat
,
and
tends
to
madness
.
●here
are
degrees
in
it
,
for
modest
women
have
〈◊〉
but
will
not
for
shame
declare
it
,
and
die
of
●onsumptions
.
Others
will
not
conceal
it
,
but
●eak
their
thoughts
bawdily
,
and
follow
men
,
●nd
●olli●i●e
them
shamelesly
,
as
Hippocrates
〈◊〉
in
his
Book
of
Virgins
Diseases
.
The
immediate
Cause
is
plenty
of
hot
and
sharp
seed
against
Nature
,
but
next
unto
that
●hich
is
natural
;
it
is
a
little
biting
,
swelling
,
and
●orcing
Nature
to
let
it
out
by
leche●y
.
The
brain
is
only
hurt
by
consent●
and
the
animal
actions
by
an
external
error
,
or
too
vehement
object
.
The
part
first
affected
,
is
the
womb
in
the
Nympha
,
which
grows
hot
,
and
swells
,
but
the
Nymphae
are
not
properly
the
seat
of
Venery
,
but
the
Clitoris
,
which
was
called
by
the
same
name
anciently
.
The
heat
and
sharpness
of
seed
,
is
from
the
heat
of
the
womb
that
breeds
it
,
from
hot
humo●●
in
the
womb
and
hot
blood
.
The
outward
Causes
,
are
hot
meats
spiced●
strong
wine
,
and
the
like
,
that
heat
the
privities●
idleness
,
pleasure
,
and
dancing●
and
reading
o●
bawdy
Histories
.
They
find
their
lust
to
boy●
at
first
,
and
so●
shame
will
not
declare
it
:
they
are
sad
and
silent
,
and
their
eyes
turn
to
and
fro
with
lust
,
an●
if
any
speak
of
Venety
,
they
blush
,
and
the
puls●
changeth
,
when
th●
brain
consenteth
,
reason
i●
perverted
,
and
modesty
is
overcome
,
then
the●
prate
,
are
lustful
,
and
angry
;
somtimes
they
cr●
or
laugh
without
a
cause
:
they
follow
men
,
an●
sollicite
them
for
copulation
.
Some
will
lie
wi●●
any
one
they
meet
.
It
is
a
●ordid
disease
,
curable
at
first
,
but
if
neglected
,
it
turns
to
madness
.
Let
Virgins
that
have
it
,
before
reason
is
subverted
,
be
in
company
with
chast
Maid●ns
,
o●
h●
married
.
And
be
let
blood
to
abate
heat
of
blco●
and
sharpness
of
seed
very
often
,
there
is
no
better
remedy
.
Then
temper
and
evacuate
the
humors
,
if
the●
be
adust
,
and
there
be
madness●

Whether

pie●ceth

bitter

But
it
hath
cold
effects

inflammations

h●●
headaches

but
this
is
from

it

hot

discusseth

No●
hath

Scaliger

Chap.
6.
Of
the
Melancholy
o●
Virgins
and
Widdows
.
IT
is
a
D●liri●●
with
sadness
,
trouble
and
we●●ing
,
s●●times
laug●ing
,
without
a
Feav●●
It
differs
from
others
by
the
efficacy
only
of
the
efficient
cause
,
for
it
hath
divers
pains
besides
●●dness
,
especially
on
the
left
side
,
near
the
heart
in
the
pap●
this
is
by
occasion
at
a
distance
.
The
Cause
is
a
melancholick
vapor
from
a
melancholick
blood
in
the
vessels
near
the
heart
,
that
infects
the
animal
Spi●its
,
hurts
the
Fancy
,
and
so
the
reason
.
For
melancholick
blood
abounding
in
the
vessels
of
the
womb
,
comes
back
to
the
great
arteries
about
the
heart
,
by
the
arte●ies
of
the
womb
,
and
infects
both
vital
and
animal
Spirits
and
causeth
trouble
of
heart
and
de●●●ium
,
while
this
blood
is
quiet
in
the
arteries
,
the●e
is
no
vapor
that
riseth
;
but
when
it
is
hea●ed
or
s●irred
up
by
any
cause
,
the
arteries
about
the
back
and
spleen
beat
more
then
ordinary
,
and
the
vapors
arise
and
trouble
the
heart
.
They
a●e
sad
,
and
●ull
of
thoughts
,
and
trouble
at
the
heart
,
and
cannot
express
their
grief
;
all
things
are
tedious
to
them
,
they
weep
and
l●ugh
without
a
cause
,
they
sleep
little
,
and
with
trouble
and
●ear
:
they
have
a
pain
on
the
left
side
,
and
somtimes
the
left
breast
;
their
jaws
are
d●y
,
al
which
are
the
effects
of
a
melaucholick
vapor
,
and
when
that
is
discussed
,
all
cease
.
If
it
be
old
,
it
turns
to
madness
,
and
then
they
are
〈◊〉
silent
,
then
p●●tlers
,
and
think
they
see
G●o●●s
.
At
first
it
is
easier
cured
,
but
if
it
last
long
,
and
●●e
●esist
not
imagination
,
and
will
not
rejoyce
●ith
her
Gossips
,
it
is
dangerous
.
They
often
despair
and
desire
death
,
or
hang
themselves
,
or
d●own
thems●lves
.
If
the
manners
are
chan●ed
,
〈◊〉
tu●●s
to
madness
.
Observe
what
progress
the
disease
h●th
made
.
At
first
if
blood
be
hot
,
o●en
a
v●in
o●ten
i●●●e
arm
,
if
the
terms
be
not
stopt
:
if
they
be
,
bleed
in
the
ankle
some
daies
before
they
use
to
flow
.
Let
her
be
merry
,
and
prepare
and
purge
melancholy
,
thus
.
Take
Borage
and
Balm
water
,
each
three
ounces
;
Syrup
of
the
juyce
of
Borage
and
Bugloss
,
each
an

and
half
.
Mix
them
for
two
Doses
,
repeat
them
somtimes
.
Then
purge
Mel●ncholy
.
As
,
Take
Senna
six
drams
,
Agarick
a
dram
and
half
,
Borage
flowers
and
Violets
,
each
a
p●gil
;
●itron
peels
two
drams
,
infuse
them
in
Rhenish
wine
for
six
hours
,
strain
them
,
ad
Syrup
of
Violets
an

.
Or
,
Take
Scorzonera
roots
two

.
Borage
●n
ounce
,
Balm
a

,
Senna
four

,
Agarick
half
an

,
Citron
peels
six

,
Zedoary
two

,
Cordial
stowers
a

,
add
half
a
pint
of
the
juyce
of
sweet-scented
Apples
,
and
of
Rorage
and
Bugloss
steep
them
two
daie●
,
then
strain
them
,
ad
Sugar
and
half
an
ounce
of
Cinamon
,
make
a
Syrup
:
give
two

three

.
Also
give
Cordials
,
Confection
of
Hyacinths
,
Species
Exhilerants
,
and
Confection
Alkermes
to
such
as
can
bear
it
.
Cure
it
as
Melancholy
,
only
the
matter
comes
from
the
womb
;
therefore
still
regard
that
it
dry
not
the
body
too
much
,
but
use
a
moistning
Diet.
Chap.
7.
Of
an
Epilepsie
from
the
Womb.
THis
Falling-sickness
is
worst
then
from
other
causes
,
because
there
are
greater
symptoms
,
for
that
malignant
vapor
doth
not
onely
fall
into
the
nerves
,
but
the
veins
and
arteries
.
The
same
malignant
vapor
that
causeth
suffocation
,
causeth
this
,
for
when
it
ascends
by
the
veins
or
arteries
,
it
begets
other
diseases
:
but
when
it
gets
to
the
nerves
,
or
to
the
fountain
of
them
,
it
causeth
the
Epilepsie
.
In
some
the
whole
body
hath
a
Convulsion
;
in
others
some
part
only
,
as
the
eyes
,
head
,
tongue●
hand
or
leg
,
and
the
outward
senses
are
diversly
taken
.
Some
see
not
,
some
hear
not
,
some
see
and
cannot
speak
,
some
dote
,
and
think
they
see
strange
things
:
some
cry
out
,
and
know
not
why
.
All
loose
the
sense
o●
feeling
.
If
the
vapor
be
n●t
very
malignant
,
they
re●u●n
to
their
work
after
the
fit
,
as
if
they
had
not
●een
ill
.
It
is
known
by
what
hath
been
said
:
for
here
〈◊〉
not
only
a
Convulsion
as
in
other
Epilepsies
,
●●t
dive●s
Symptomes
as
in
Suffocation
of
the
●omb
.
They
seldom
●oam
at
the
mouth
,
because
●e
brain
is
not
so
shaken
as
to
cause
●oaming
:
●or
is
the
vapor
so
fixed
in
the
roots
of
the
ner●es
,
but
they
often
do
hear
.
It
is
grievous
,
and
hath
grievous
Sym●toms
,
●ut
it
is
not
so
bad
as
a
true
Epilepsie
,
and
if
you
●ve
proper
Medicines
,
it
never
returns

Of

of

MAny
●●ins
come
from
the
Wom●
,
bu●
〈◊〉
chief
and
greatest
are
in
th●
Head
,
●●●ver
,
or
on
one
side
,
o●
in
the
eyes
.
Matter
ascends
to
the
membranes
of
the
head
by
the
veins
and
arteries
from
the
womb
.
It
is
a
●●po●
or
humor
from
blood
and
humors
;
somtimes
bad
blood
that
is
thin
goes
from
the
womb
vessels
to
the
great
vessels
,
and
gets
to
the
head
,
&
t●
the
membranes
there
,
and
causeth
a
stretching
ulce●ated
,
or
pricking
,
or
beating
pain
,
when
it
is
carried
through
the
arteries
being
●ul
of
blood
.
They
think
their
head
will
be
torn
and
the
membranes
,
and
it
is
behind
in
the
head
,
or
when
the
terms
flow
,
or
ar●
disordered
,
from
consent
with
the
womb
.
If
it
be
from
a
vapor
,
there
is
no
h●●viness
,
and
it
ceaseth
presently
:
if
from
a
humo●
,
there
is
heaviness
.
Thes●
pa●●s
are
great
,
and
cause
wa●ching
.
We
have
spoken
of
the
headach
,
but
here
it
is
●●om
the
womb
;
therefore
consider
what
humo●●
offend
in
the
womb
,
and
let
them
be
purged
,
and
the
distemper
of
the
womb
amended
,
as
w●
shewed
in
the
Distemper
of
the
Womb.
There
is
also
a
pain
in
the
loyns
,
because
bad
h●mors
go
from
the
veins
of
the
womb
and
arte●ies
to
the
great
vessels
,
and
so
are
sent
by
the
●●pill●●
veins
into
the
membranes
,
and
stretch
them
,
and
cause
pain
:
these
humors
must
have
●●●per
Purges
.
●●●stion
.
In
what
part
of
the
Head
is
the
pain
that
comes
by
consent
from
the
Womb
?
I●
i●
in
the
crown
before
and
behind
,
but
chiefly
●ehind
,
by
reason
of
the
joyning
of
the
Back
with
the
womb
,
for
the
womb
is
nervous
,
and
●o●s●nts
●ith
the
membranes
of
the
brain
,
by
the

of
the

,
and
so
●erves
●uff●●●ith
n●rves
,
●i●her
by
communi●●tion
of
matter
or
pain
,
and
because
the
original
of
the
nerves
is
in
the
hinder
part
of
the
head
,
women
are
more
pained
there
then
men
,
because
of
the
Womb.

Of

of

THe
heart
beats
,
and
the
arteries
also
,
as
we
shewed
in
the
Green-sickness
,
and
it
is
by
●●il
v●pors
s●nt
by

●●teries
to
the
hea●t
from
the
womb
,
that
a●ise
from
terms
and
evil
hum●●●
gathered
in
the
womb
:
and
this
is
known
by
●ther
Signs
and
Symptomes
of
a
distempered
womb
.
To
discuss
the
malignant
vapors
from
the
heart
,
give

of

of
the
Heart
;
as
Aqua
vitae
,
Cinnamenwater
,
and
Epithems
,
Baggs
and
Liniments
.
The
arteries
also
beat
with
the
heart
,
as
i●
Widdows
on
the
lef●
Hypochondrion
and
Bac●
,
where
there
is
a
great
artery
,
and
the
artery
th●●
beats
in
the
Back
,
is
part
of
the
great
artery
:
they
which
beat
in
the
Hypochondrion
are
the
lesse●
spleniti●k
and
mesenterick
branches
;
therefo●e
the
beating
is
mo●e
in
the
Back
then
in
the
Hypochondrion
,
but
both
puls●tions
come
fro●
the
same
cause
.
The
inflammation
of
the
a●teries
is
the
Cause
of
this
beating
,
when
evil
humors
are
sent
fr●●
the
womb
i●to
the
great
branches
of
the
arte●●●
and
there
b●●t●
the
heart
being
over-hot
.
Somtimes
the
motion
of
this
artery
is
all
the
body
over
,
and
from
a
hot
humor
,
the
hot
humors
go
to
the
heart
,
and
cause
a
feaver
,
but
because
there
is
little
putrefaction
,
it
vanisheth
presently
.
If
the
heat
of
the
humors
go
to
the
brain
by
the
arte●ies
,
there
is
madness
.
Some
seek
the
cause
in
the
v●ins
,
and
say
that
the
arteries
suffer
from
the
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
in
them
.
You
m●y
feel
it
wi●h
your
hand
laid
upon
the
Hypochondrion
,
and
there
are
signs
of
a
distempered
womb
,
and
melancholy
from
the
womb
,
if
heat
continue
in
the
arteries
,
and
go
to
the
whole
●ody
,
it
consumeth
it
.
It
is
seemingly
a
small
disease
,
but
it
is
not
●ithout
danger
,
because
it
comes
from
a
bad
cause
,
that
weakens
the
bowels
.
It
is
cured
as
melancholy
from
the
womb
,
and
●●opping
of
the
terms
,
and
as
Hypochondriack
melancholy
from
the
womb
which
follows

it

though
they
seem
to
be

yet
they
get

Therefore
those

are

there

there
are

These

If
it

it

therefore
open

of
Conception

MAn
or

may
be
lustful
,
and
copulate
,
and
yet
there
may
be
no
conception
,
or
〈◊〉
may
conc●ive
too

have

which

is
of

s●●d
to
per●ection
,
for
〈◊〉
making
of
a
child
by
the
retentive
and
altering
faculty
of
the
womb
;
hence
it
is
necessary
that
both
seeds
be
fruitful
that
is
hot
,
●ul
of
Spirits
,
and
well
tempered
,
and
a
fit
subject
for
a
Soul
,
and
that
both
spend
at
a
time
,
and
there
be
mixed
and
retained
together
,
to
produce
a
child
.
Also
the
sucking
of
the
womb
is
necessary
,
and
that
it
should
lay
it
up
and
embrace
it
,
so
that
there
be
no
space
between
the
seed
and
the
womb
.
Somtimes
the
womb
greedily
snatcheth
and
emb●aceth
the
seed
,
but
doth
not
keep
it
,
bu●
lets
it
come
forth
two
or
three
daies
after
,
or
keeps
it
to
no
purpose
,
and
brings
it
not
to
action
,
as
in
a
false
conception
or
mole
.
Moreover
there
must
be
blood
in
readiness
to
get
the
child
,
or

sprinkle
it
when
it
is

●ormed

and
to
nourish
it
after
.
Therefore
if
te●ms
be
wanting
as
in
girls
,
o●
be
stopt
,
or
gone
as
in
old
●olk
,
expect
no
conception
.
If
they
flow
not
by
reason
of
labor
and
too
much
exercise
,
the
conception
is
not
hindered
,
if
there
be
but
blood
enough
to
form
the
child
.
Hence
it
is
that
women
that
are
brought
in
bed
,
conceive
again
before
they
have
their
terms
.
If
all
these
be
right
,
there
is
conception
,
otherwise
she
is
barren
,
which
is
an
impotency
of
the
womb
,
that
keeps
it
from
sucking
in
of
the
seed
,
or
from
retaining
,
or
from
nourishing
i●
,
and
bringing
it
into
act
.
The
first
is
impotency
in
copulation
,
from
the
closing
of
the
womb
,
of
which
before
:
or
oth●●
evil
conformation
of
the
privities
,
or
and
ul●e●
,
or
tumor
in
the
ne●k
of
the
womb
.
The
seco●d
is
the
breeding
of
unfruitful
seed
,
from
diste●p
:
of
the
vessels
and
stones
,
or
too
tender
and
delicate
a
constitution
.
In
men
at
eighteen
,
in
women
at
fourteen
,
and
men
seldom
get
children
●fter
sixty
,
and
women
seldom
bear
them
after
●●fty
.
As
for
evil
conformation
to
breed
seed
,
some
have
wanted
seed-vessels
,
or
they
were
not
in
their
places
.
Some
women
are
barren
by
the
first
Husband
,
and
have
children
by
the
second
,
because
there
must
be
a
certain
proportion
between
both
seeds
:
and
if
they
be
wanting
,
they
are
barren
,
which
proportion
is
hard
to
be
explained
,
and
almost
impossible
;
for
we
must
not
stay
in
the
first
qualities
,
for
there
are
occult
qualities
in
seed
,
by
which
they
agree
or
disagree
.
The
third
cause
,
is
when
the
womb
su●ks
not
in
the
seed
,
nor
receives
it
in
a
right
manner
,
as
when
the
attractive
faculty
is
hurt
,
or
hindered
by
divers
distempers
of
the
womb
,
or
when
a
woman
hates
her
Husband
.
Attraction
is
hindered
by
tumors
or
ulcers
in
the
womb
,
or
by
its
being
displaced
,
as
Hippocrate●
:
They
who
being
too
fat
,
and
conceive
not
,
the
mouth
of
their
womb
is
stopt
up
with
the
Cawl
,
and
they
conceive
not
till
they
are
lean
.
But
the
more
probable
reason
of
not
conceiving
,
is
the
matter
of
the
seed
turning
into
fat
.
The
fourth
cause
,
is
the
retention
of
the
seed
hurt
by
a
moist
distemper
,
then
the
womb
is
weak
and
the
fibres
are
loose
,
so
that
it
cannot
contract
it self
to
retain
;
and
the
seed
by
reason
of
its
sliminess
,
cannot
stick
there
.
Also
if
the
wo●b
be
too
thick
,
not
fleshy
and
●o●t
,
and
be
not
sp●inkled
with
blood
,
as
it
i●
in
some
by
birth
,
whi●●
makes
them
barren
,
and
in
some
after
they
ce●se
to
conceive
.
If
the
orifice
of
the
womb
gape
a●●●●
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
and
abo●tion
,
by
which
the
fibres
are
loosned
and
weakned
,
and
the
retention
of
the
seed
hur●
And
if
a
woman
after
copulation
cough
,
neese
,
cry
out
,
dance
,
or
be
angry
or
frighted
,
the
sam●
may
be
.
The
fifth
cause
of
barrenness
,
is
the
hurt
of
the
altering
faculty
,
which
brings
in
the
form
and
act
into
seed
;
for
if
there
be
not
a
due
proportion
between
the
womb
and
the
seed
,
there
is
barrenness
,
as
seeds
are
choaked
in
marsh●●
ground
,
or
die
,
or
are
burnt
in
dry
and
sand●
ground
:
so
mans
seed
is
suffocated
in
a
moist
womb
,
and
dried
up
in
a
hot
.
Hippocrates
speaks
o●
the
〈◊〉
proportion
of
the
womb
,
as
is
●it
to
cherish
this
or
th●t
seed
,
thus
.
Women
that
h●●e
thick
and
cold
wombs
conceive
not
,
and
they
wh●●
womb
is
too
moist
,
●●r
they
quench
the
seed
;
nor●●
they
conceive
that
have
dry
and
burning
wombs
,
for
the
seed
is
corrupted
in
them
for
want
of
nourishmer●
,
they
who
are
of
a
mean
temper
between
these
are
f●●●full
.
The
last
cause
of
barrenness
,
is
want
of
menstrual
blood
,
which
is
necessary
for
the
first
formation
of
the
child
.
Therefore
Nurses
that
have
much
milk
conceive
,
because
the
blood
is
carried
to
the
breasts
.
Therefore
all
these
causes
are
reduced
either
to
impotency
in
copulation
,
or
distemper
of
the
stones
and
seed-vessels
,
or
evil
conformation
,
or
●
cold
and
moist
distemper
of
the
womb
,
which
cannot
attract
,
detain
,
and
alter
the
seed
;
somtimes
●
hot
and
dry
distemper
that
cannot
nourish
the
●eed●
or
from
the
enlarging
of
the
orifice
after
childbea●ing
,
or
from
humors
,
or
being
displaced
,
or
the
straitness
of
the
vessels
,
or
want
〈◊〉
term●
,
or
too
many
.
Hence
we
may
gather
,
that
barrenness
is
oft●●
from
a
fault
in
the
women
then
the
men
,
for
i●
men
there
is
nothing
required
but
fruitful
●●ed
spent
into
a
fruitful
womb
.
But
women
besides
the
meeting
of
their
own
seed
,
must
receive
,
●●i●
,
and
nourish
the
ma●s
;
and
afford
matt●r
〈◊〉
the
forming
of
the
child
〈◊〉
which
divers
accidents
happen
,
and
any
of
these
will
cause
bar●n●ess
.
Mark
also
in
these
kinds
of
causes
,
that
some
do
not
properly
cause
barrenness
,
but
only
hin●●nder
conception
for
a
time
;
as
the
closing
of
th●
womb
,
smalness
of
the
privities
,
these
do
not
●●●ply
cause
barrenness
.
Some
bring
other
external
causes
,
as
eating
〈◊〉
heart
of
a
Deer
,
or
if
she
wear
Jet
about
her
,
〈◊〉
if
Harts-tongue
be
hanged
about
her
bed
:
if
〈◊〉
walk
over
the
terms
of
another
,
or
tread
upo●
them
unawares
,
or
anoint
with
them
,
or
put
〈◊〉
jay●e
of
Mints
into
her
womb
.
Some
are
born
so
,
from
a
fault
in
the
womb
;
●●●ers
are
not
simply
b●●●en
,
but
in
respect
of
the
●●n
,
and
when
they
have
another
Husband
ar●
f●uitful
.
Some
are
barren
till
the
constitution
of
th●
womb
be
changed
:
some
bring
forth
at
first
,
and
then
by
som●
fault
g●o●
barren
.
H●●
sh●ll

know
that
a
woman
is
barren

It
is
hard
to
find
whether
the
two
seeds
have
the
right
proportion
,
or
the
womb
agree
with
the
mans
seed
.
Yet
temperate
with
temperate
are
very
fruitful
,
because
they
are
both
of
a
good
constitution
.
But
intemperate
couples
are
barren
;
but
if
one
tempe●
be
good
,
it
may
mend
the
other
,
and
she
may
conceive
.
If
it
come
from
a
Medicine
that
destroys
the
seed
,
she
will
tell
.
If
inchantment
be
the
cause

though
they
love
,
yet
they
cannot
copulate
,
or
whereas
they
loved
each
other
,
now
they
fal
out
without
a
cause
.
Ask
the
woman
how
her
womb
doth
attract
,
retain
,
and
cherish
the
seed
:
if
it
have
a
tumor
,
or
have
matter
or
not
?
Whether
there
be
a
natural
hereditary
imper●ection
?
Enquire
concerning
her
family
,
if
many
were
barren
,
whether
she
hath
had
hard
travel
or
abortion
?
Whether
the
seed
comes
away
presently
after
,
or
at
a
distance
,
after
some
daies
;
if
so
,
then
the
womans
●eed
is
unfruitful
,
or
there
is
a
distemper
in
the
womb
that
keeps
it
from
cherishing
the
seed
.
If
the
terms
be
wanting●
they
are
Viragoes
,
and
have
hair
on
their
chins
,
or
they
are
●at
,
and
seed
turns
into
fat
,
or
they
are
very
lean
because
they
want
blood
.
Hippocrates
proves
Barrenness
thus
.
Put
●
Fume
(
saith
he
)
under
the
Coats
of
a
woman
,
and
l●t
her
be
close
clothed
about
,
and
if
the
sc●nt
com●
t●
the
nose
,
she
is
not
barren
,
and
he
bids
you
put
Gar●●ck
●●ensed
into
the
womb
,
and
if
she
smel
of
it
at
the
〈◊〉
●he
is
fruitful
.
A
natural
bad
disposition
that
causeth
barrenness
is
not
curable
;
Hippocrates
saith
that
barrenness
from
ulcers
is
hard
to
be
cured
.
A
woman
that
conceives
not
from
disagreement
with
her
husbands
constitution
,
by
another
husband
,
or
in
time
may
be
cured
,
or
some
distemper
that
causeth
sterility
may
be
mended
by
Physick
.
Take
away
the
causes
,
amend
the
distemper
of
the
womb
,
whether
with
matter
or
without
matter
is
to
be
mended
,
which
causeth
either
no
seed
or
that
which
is
unfruitful
,
or
not
convenient
.

or
aborted
,
or
had
a
dead
child
,
or
a
mole
.
If
these
were
not
,
the
seed
and
womb
have
not
a
just
proportion
with
the
mans
,
but
it
may
be
altered
by
age
.
If
the
womb
be
much
hurt
after
travel
,
or
any
thing
turn
in
it
,
or
broken
,
they
seldom
conceive
a
gain
.
And
if
a
woman
marry
at
a
ripe
age
,
and
have
no
remarkable
disease
,
and
conceive
not
presently
,
she
is
not
to
be
accounted
barren
,
because
some
private
indisposition
hinders
conc●ption
,
which
after
may
be
altered
,
and
she
may
prove
fruitful
.
A
woman
that
mar●●es
too
young
,
after
she
hath
once
conceived
,
and
then
ceaseth
,
must
use
Venery
sparingly
,
til
she
grow
older
,
that
she
may
recover
the
strength
she
lost
in
her
first
travel
.
And
if
a
woman
marry
at
ripe
years
,
and
conceive●
not
by
reason
of
the
driness
of
her
womb
,
let
he●
use
Baths
,
Fomentations
,
and
emollient
Pessaries
.
If
she
conceive
not
from
weakness
,
strengthen
the
womb
,
and
let
her
not
use
Venery
often
.
If
Virgins
be
sick
from
seed
retained
or
terms●
let
them
marry
.
But
if
there
be
a
fault
in
the
liver
or
spleen
,
or
the
whole
body
,
that
may
be
increased
by
Venery
,
it
is
better
that
they
be
cure●
before
they
be
married
.
And
if
they
cannot
b●
cured
,
let
them
not
be
married
.
If
the
womb
be
distempered
by
birth
or
a
disease
,
cure
it
as
in
diseases
of
the
Womb
:
if
it
b●
from
a
Mole
or
flux
of
blood
,
cure
it
as
it
ha●●●
and
shall
be
shewed
.
If
it
be
from
a
dead
child
,
first
clense
it
wit●
juyce
of
Mercury
,
and
then
put
Treacle
or
Mithridate

into
the
womb
,
or
with
a
Pessary
,
or
give
them
outwardly
.

4.
Of
Conception
,
and
forming
of
the
Child
.
COnception
is
an
action
of
the
womb
,
after
fruitful
seed
both
male
and
female
is
received
,
mixed
and
nourished
,
&
its
strength
is
stirred
up
to
do
its
office
.
Seed
and
Coema
differ
,
seed
is
that
which
comes
from
both
male
and
female
,
but
Coema
is
that
which
is
mixed
of
both
,
and
is
called
Conception
which
produceth
a
child
.
This
Conception
is
presently
when
two
seeds
meet
in
the
womb
,
in
less
then
seven
hours
after
they
are
spent
,
if
the
heat
of
the
womb
preserve
them
,
for
Nature
is
not
idle
a
moment
,
but
presently
fals
to
conformation
.
Therfore
Hippocrates
●aith
that
the
beginning
of
Conception
is
to
be
reckoned
from
the
day
that
the
seed
is
retained
,
and
if
she
conceives
not
from
the
weakness
of
the
seeds
or
womb
,
the
seed
wil
fal
out
in
seven
daies
for
Hippocrates
●aith
,
That
Conception
and
aborti●n
are
judged
in
the
same
time
,
as
a
disease
,
health
,
and
death
are
judged
.
And
Arist●tle
●aith
,
●f
seed
r●mains
within
till
the
seventh
day
,
there
is
certain
Conc●ption
.
As
for
Formation
,
the
Soul
lying
in
the
seed
,
●nakes
its
own
house
,
for
all
acknowledg
a
●●rming
faculty
,
and
you
must
then
suppose
there
is
a
●ubstance
from
whence
this
faculty
flows
.
And
●hough
Aristotle
●aith
that
seed
is
a
living
crea●ure
in
power
;
not
that
there
is
not
the
e●●ence
●f
the
Soul
in
the
seed
,
and
that
it
is
not
a
living
●●eature
in
respect
of
the
first
act
,
but
because
〈◊〉
not
come
to
the
second
act
,
for
wan●
of
●it
〈◊〉
which
being
perfected
,
it
hath
the
second
act
and
all
its
operations
,
which
for
defect
of
organs
,
it
cannot
produce
.
There
are
divers
opinions
of
the
time
of
Formation
,
they
are
best
that
say
the
membranes
a●e
first
made
,
which
wrap
the
child
with
the
navel
vessels
,
by
which
it
is
joyned
to
the
Mothe●s
womb
,
and
receives
nourishment
for
the
child
.
Then
all
other
parts
are
made
sooner
or
later
,
a●
the
child
requires
for
dignity
or
necessity
.
We
intend
here
to
speak
of
womens
diseases
.
Therefore
there
are
three
things
required
for
the
Formation
of
a
child
.
1.
Fruitful
seed
from
both
parents
,
in
which
the
Soul
remains
that
hath
a
●orming
quality
to
make
its
own
habitation
.
2.
The
Mothers
blood
is
required
to
enlarge
the
child
to
perfection
.
3.
There
is
required
a
good
constitution
of
the
womb
to
nourish
the
seed
,
and
stir
the
concealed
force
.
If
these
three
be
right
,
there
is
a
child
that
is
●ound
and
perfect
,
that
will
be
born
:
but
if
any
of
these
be
wanting
,
there
are
Twins
are
more
,
and
other
faults
of
which
in
order
.
Chap.

Of
the
Generation
of
Twins
,
and
many
Children
.
NAture
hath
ordained
that
a
woman
shoul●
con●eive
but
one
child●
in
these
and
oth●●
Countri●s
especially
,
and
that
every
year
;
yet
in
many
pl●ce●
s●e
hath
more
,
one
had
five
at
every
birth
,
twenty
at
four
lyings
in
.
A
Mar●●ret
the
Countess
of
Holst●rne
,
in
the
time
of
th●●mperor
H●nry
the
seventh
,
had
three
hunder●●
sixty
four
at
one
labor
.
And
another
Count●●
in
the
time
of
Fred●ri●●
the
eleventh
,
had
●iv●
hundered
and
fourteen
children
at
once
,
being
Boys
:
these
are
so
seldom
,
that
they
seem
incredible
.
I
speak
nothing
of
the
Causes
of
such
monst●uous
productions
,
but
of
Twins
,
or
Three
,
or
Four.
It
is
certain
they
are
got
at
one
time
:
and
this
differs
from
Superfoetation
,
which
is
at
many
times
.
And
you
must
not
impute
it
to
the
divers
Cells
of
the
womb
,
for
women
have
no
such
Cells
,
but
onely
a
Line
that
divides
the
le●t
side
from
the
right
;
but
it
comes
from
the
division
of
the
seed
into
divers
parts
,
and
the
least
forming
force
in
the
side
is
compleat
,
and
makes
a
child
of
every
part
of
it
.
And
because
the
cavity
of
the
womb
cannot
admit
so
many
parts
of
seed
,
being
no
bigger
then
a
Bean
;
and
if
it
do
admit
them
,
how
can
the
seed
be
divided
at
one
copulation
into
so
many
parts
?
I
suppose
that
such
women
have
naturally
a
larger
womb
,
so
that
much
seed
is
divided
.
A●d
as
Twins
are
begot
at
the
same
time
,
so
they
have
but
one
Placenta
,
or
part
tha●
receives
the
navel-vessels
of
both
,
but
they
have
their
several
Coats
.
It
is
hard
to
know
whether
a
woman
have
conceived
Twins
,
onely
thei●
belly
is
not
even
,
but
divided
with
seams
and
wrinkles
;
and
the
weight
is
commonly
greater
,
and
the
motion
is
not
one
nor
alike
.
If
a
woman
have
two
children

a●d
be
weak
,
●●e

Chap.
6.
Of
Superfoetation
.
IT
is
seldom
that
a
woman
hath
many
children
at
divers
copulations
,
but
it
is
so
sometimes
,
and
is
called
Superfoetation
,
that
is
a
new
conception
after
a
former
.
Though
Hippocrates
writes
,
That
the
mouth
of
the
womb
after
Conception
is
so
shut
,
that
you
cannot
put
in
a
Needles
point
,
yet
a
woman
with
child
may
take
such
pleasure
after
,
that
she
may
a
little
open
the
womb
to
receive
seed
again
,
and
draw
it
in
,
which
may
form
another
child
.
Therefore
the
Cause
is
the
pleasure
the
woman
hath
,
which
opens
the
womb
again
to
attract
seed
.
And
it
is
necessary
that
the
seed
received
,
be
in
its
proper
membrane
,
and
peculiar
receptacle
.
These
come
somtimes
sooner
,
somtimes
later
,
somtimes
the
same
day
or
the
following
,
sometimes
longer
after
.
Somtimes
they
have
a
third
Superfoetation
,
so
that
they
have
two
living
children
,
and
one
mischance
.
It
is
known
only
by
the
motion
of
the
infant
,
when
it
is
conceived
long
after
the
first
.
It
is
dangerous
for
the
Mother
,
for
fear
of
abortion
,
and
for
loss
of
much
blood
by
two
births
at
no
great
distance
of
time
.
It
is
best
to
leave
the
whole
work
to
Nature
,
and
women
ought
to
take
heed
of
Superfoetation
;
therefore
after
they
have
conceived
,
let
them
meddle
no
more
.
Chap.
7.
Of
the
ill
Formation
of
the
Child
.
IN
the
Formation
of
the
child
,
there
are
divers
Symptoms
.
1.
In
the
weakness
of
the
child
.
2.
The
parts
are
more
or
●ewer
,
to
which
you
may
refer
Hermaphrodites
.
3.
The
parts
are
greater
or
less
,
as
Dwarss
or
Gyants
.
4.
There
is
some
part
out
of
place
or
shape
,
as
Histories
●●ew
abundantly
.
You
must
●ind
the
Causes
in
the
seeds
,
terms
,
womb
,
and
error
in
Formation
:
the
cause
of
these
is
the
action
hurt
of
the
forming
faculty
.
This
is
not
alwaies
from
it self
,
but
from
the
unfitness
of
the
ma●ter
,
and
fault
in
the
place
which
kee●s
it
from
the
intention
:
for
actions
of
active
things
are
not
but
in
a
disposed
patient
.
Somtimes
there
is
an
extraordinary
cause
,
as
imagination
,
when
the
Mother
is
frighted
,
or
imagineth
strange
things
,
or
longeth
vehemently
for
some
mea●
which
if
she
have
not
,
the
child
hath
a
mark
of
the
colour
or
shape
of
what
she
desired
,
of
which
there
are
many
Examples
.
But
I
doubt
whether
all
errors
in
Formation
,
depend
together
upon
the
imagination
;
for
the
Spirits
and
humors
are
troubled
by
the
passions
of
the
mind
,
and
so
slow
●o●ceable
imm●d●ately
to
the
womb
or
other
part
,
and
this
disturbes
the
●●rming
faculty
in
its
work
.
Also
the
forming
●●culty
being
overcome
with
plenty
of
humo●s
〈◊〉
wanting
Spirits
that
are
gone
another
way●●ay
by
●hance
make
an
ill
shape
;
therefore
the
●●ssions
of
the
mind
are
the
first
causes
of
●rrou●
〈◊〉
Formation
,
and
imagination
●●lps
by
〈◊〉
up
the
appetite
.
These
are
the
common
errors
of
formation
.
Others
are
dete●minate
errors
,
not
simply
from
the
imagination
by
the
pallions
which
have
no
determination
to
such
a
thing
;
but
no
other
cause
can
be
besides
the
imagination
,
but
how
she
directs
the
forming
faculty
for
the
producing
of
such
effects
,
it
is
hard
to
be
understood
,
but
there
must
be
some
imagination
and
the
forming
faculty
,
that
it
may
impart
the
species
sent
from
the
external
senses
to
the
forming
faculty
.
And
this
is
the
cause
of
the
consent
of
the
upper
and
lower
faculties
:
for
the
●oul
is
the
same
in
the
whole
body
;
and
every
where
●itted
with
the
same
faculties
,
but
it
doth
not
exercise
all
in
all
parts
,
but
by
the
proper
determinate
organs
●●
instruments
.
And
though
the
child
hath
its
●oul
,
yet
while
it
is
in
the
womb
,
it
depends
upon
the
●oul
of
the
mother
,
as
the
fruits
partake
of
the
life
of
the
tree
while
they
are
upon
it
,
therefore
it
is
probable
,
that
whatsoever
moves
the
faculties
of
the
●oul
in
the
mother
may
move
the
same
in
the
child
:
Hence
it
is
that
while
the
forming
operateth
in
the
seed
and
womb
of
the
mother
,
if
any
species
be
sent
to
the
imagination
of
the
mother
which
she
strongly
receives
,
it
may
make
an
impression
upon
the
child
,
yet
every
imagination
cannot
make
this
impression
,
but
that
which
makes
a
great
admiration
or
terrour
in
the
mother
when
the
forming
faculty
is
at
work
,
as
when
she
beholds
one
with
six
fingers
,
she
brings
forth
the
like
,
or
when
sh●
produ●eth
hair
wh●●e
it
should
no●
be
,
or
the
l●●eness
of
a
beast
in
an●
limb
,
or
when
she
●eeth
any
thing
cut
or
divided
with
a
Cleaver
,
she
brin●s

a

Of
a
Child
turned
into
Stone

JOhn
Albosius
Doctor
at

,
and
Sim●on
Prov●nch●r
of
Lingo
Physitian
of
Senon
writ
of
of
this
in
French
and
Latin.
I
shall
give
my
opinion
with
others
.
Two
things
are
to
be
observed
in
this
wonderful
history
,
first
why
the
Child
in
the
time
of
tra●ail
being
dead
in
the
womb
did
not
stink
as
is
usual
,
or
kill
the
mother
suddenly
,
or
was
not
●ast
out
by
degrees
being
rotten
?
secondly
by
what
force
the
child
was
turn'd
into
Stone
?
For
the
first
,
The
mother
lived
twenty
eight
years
after
she
had
this
Child
,
therefore
it
is
not
credible
that
the
womb
was
so
cold
that
it
might
hinder
putre●action
,
as
some
think
.
It
seems
more
probable
to
me
,
that
these
questions
explanation
depend
upon
one
principle
,
for
the
cause
that
made
the
stones
hardness
,
kept
the
child
from
putre●action
,
but
what
that
is
,
it
is
obs●ure
.
Many
fly
to
the
efficien●y
of
the
fi●st
qualities
,
others
to
driness
,
others
to
coldness
,
others
to
both
.
I
acknowledg
heat
,
cold
and
driness
to
be
helping
causes
for
b●eeding
of
Stones
in
mans
body
,
but
the
chief
cause
is
a
Stone
breeding
juyce
,
or
spirit
,
of
which
I
have
spoken
at
large
.
The
principles
of
generation
were
weak
in
this
child
and
impure
,
and
this
stone-breeding
●●●ce
was
mixed
with
the
blood
in
the
humors
,
hence
it
is
that
it
was
not
born
alive
,
as
in
a
wole
bred
in
the
womb
,
which
women
have
●i●l
they
a●e
old
and
die
with
it
,
and
yet
it
s●i●●s
〈◊〉
no
more
then
stones
bred
in
most
parts
.
But
there
is
but
this
History
of
such
a
Birth
.
Chap.

Of
a
Mole
.
IT
is
●lesh
and
a
mass
without
bones
or
bowels
,
gotten
of
an
imperfect
conception
instead
of
a
child
.
The
Latins
cal
it
a
Mole
from
the
weight
,
because
it
is
troublesom
to
women
,
as
a
Milstone

Latin
called
Lapis

Somtimes
it
is
unshapen

with
a

over
it
,
and
nothing
within
,
but
like

Somtimes
it
is
membranous
and

,
without

Somtimes
it
is

Some
are
like
congealed
blood
,
or
the
Placenta
of
the
womb
,
into
which
the
navel-vessels
are
inserted
;
some
grow
and
are
nourished
,
and
some
have
an
obscure
sense
.
Somtimes
they
are
sent
out
alone
,
somtimes
with●
or
before
the
child
,
of
which
there
are
many
Histories
.
Some
bring
●orth
Monsters
for
Moles
.
It
is
from
the
error
of
the
forming
●aculty
,
but
the
Cause
of
that
is
obscure
.
I
suppose
it
is
from
both
seeds
,
when
the
forming
faculty
is
weak
,
and
the
seed
little
and
not
good
,
and
overcome
by
much
blood
,
and
can
make
onely
veins
and
membranes
,
and
not
a
whole
child
.
Somtimes
〈◊〉
is
in
Widdows
onely
from
their
own
seed
and
blood
.
A
Mole
is
sooner
bred
when
the
blood
is
impu●e
,
and
unfit
to
nourish
,
and
is
made
when
they
copu●●te
in
the
flowing
of
the
terms
that
are
unclean
.
It
is
●either
from
heat
nor
cold
principally
,
but
from
the
error
of
the
forming
faculty
.
They
are
hard
to
be
known
before
the
fourth
month
,
then
they
are
known
by
such
as
can
distinguish
between
the
motion
of
wind
and
a
child
●
.
If
a
woman
turn
from
side
to
side
,
it
●alls
like
a
stone
to
that
side
she
lies
on
,
and
is
heavy
.
If
it
have
any
motion
,
it
is
trembling
and
beating
,
with
constriction
and
dilatation
like
a
Spunge
.
If
after
the
time
that
the
child
should
move
,
there
be
no
motion
,
and
the
belly
swells
,
and
there
is
no
sign
of
a
Dropsie
,
it
is
a
sign
of
a
Mole
.
Thirdly
,
in
women
with
child
,
there
is
milk
about
the
fourth
month
,
but
in
a
Mole
the
breasts
swel
,
but
there
is
no
true
milk
.

They
are
more
pained
and
faint
,
and
have
more
pain
in
their
back
and
groyns
.
If
it
be
with
a
quick
child
,
it
is
hard
to
be
known
,
but
it
is
known
by
its
weight
in
the
womb
,
which
she
perceives
when
she
gets
up
to
walk
or
moves
from
side
to
side
;
some
are
then
strong
and
well
coloured
.
It
hurts
the
womb
and
whole
body
;
if
it
be
divided
,
it
is
less
dangerous
:
when
it
is
soft
,
it
is
cast
out
the
third
or
fourth
month
.
Somtimes
it
ulcerates
or
tears
the
womb
,
and
causeth
great
bleeding
.
Some
have
been
cast
out
or
drawn
out
without
danger
:
some
grow
old
with
them
in
,
●nd
find
no
inconvenience
but
the
weight
.
To
prevent

take
heed
of
Venery
in

before

Question
.
Whether
a
Mole
may
be
without
the
company
of
a
man
,
and
without
his
seed
?
To
speak
freely
of
this
which
many
doubt
,
I
suppose
that
many
are
made
of
a
weak
mans
seed
mixed
with
the
womans
seed
,
and
much
blood
.
But
Histories
confirm
that
Widdows
ha●e
had
them
without
mans
seed
,
but
not
of
the
shape
with
the
others
.
And
being
voided
,
they
melted
being
in
the
air
into
water
.
I
think
Virgins
cannot
have
them
but
from
wantonness
,
or
in
sleep
they
may
spend
their
seed
;
but
because
it
is
weak
,
and
the
blood
necessary
for
formation
,
neither
is
drawn
by
the
womb
,
nor
flows
to
it
of
its
own
accord
,
as
it
doth
in
those
that
have
had
children
,
and
the
vessels
of
the
womb
in
Virgins
are
straiter
then
in
Widdows
,
and
others
that
have
had
children
.
Therefore
though
the
seed
of
Virgins
flow
into
the
womb
,
yet
they
cannot
have
a
Mole
for
want
of
blood
,
which
is
necessary
for
the
forming
of
the
same
.
This
is
to
be
understood
of
Moles
which
are
not
vital
,
for
vital
Moles
that
have
some
life
,
cannot
be
got
in
Virgins
or
Widdows
without
the
seed
of
a
man.

Of
Monsters
.
HIstories
tell
us
of
many
Monsters
brought
forth
by
women
.
We
spake
of
worms
,
S●ct
.
2.
Chap.
8.
They
are
like
Toads
or
Mice
or
Fi●●
.
Gordonius
saith
it
is
usual
in
Lumbardy
.
Lycosthones
saith
,
and
others
also
,
that
Serpents
Dogs
,
and
other
Monsters
with
parts
like
brute
beasts
have
●een
brought
forth
.
Gaspar
●auhin
speaks
of
one
Anne
Troperim
,
which
1575.
brought
forth
two
Serpents
with
her
child
,
in
Harvest
hot
weather
;
she
had
d●u●k
water
in
a
Brook
in
a
Wood
near
Basil
,
whe●e
she
thought
she
drank
the
Spawn
of
a
Serpent
,
for
a
little
after
that
,
her
belly
swelled
,
and
three
●onths
after
she
was
big
with
child
,
and
the
Serpents
grew
as
the
child
did
.
Her
belly
was
so
big
that
she
carried
it
in
a
swathing
Band.
She
was
delivered
at
last
of
a
lean
male
child
,
and
(
because
they
suspect
Worms
or
Snaks
from
the
knawing
and
strange
motion
she
felt
that
year
)
they
put
a
bason
of
milk
under
her
,
and
when
they
expected
an
afterbirth
,
out
came
a
Serpen●
,
which
she
saw
,
and
perceived
another
coming
forth
,
they
were
an
ell
long
,
and
as
thick
as
a
childs
arm
.
Thus
Ba●●hin
and
he
speaks
of
others
if
you
please
to
peruse
him
.
A
Monster
is
that
which
is
either
wholly
or
in
part
like
a
beast
,
or
that
which
is
ill
shaped
extraordinary
.
Histories
witness
,
that
a
Monster
may
be
f●om
humane
seed
,
and
the
seed
of
a
beast
:
It
is
seldom
,
for
the
forming
faculty
doth
not
erre
of
itself
,
but
is
seduced
by
the
imagination
,
or
frustrated
of
its
ends
,
●rom
a
fault
of
the
Spirits
,
the
heat
or
matter
.
Therefore
imagination
is
the
●ause
of
Monsters
.
For
Histories
mention
that
w●men
with
child
,
by
beholdin●
men
in
viza●ds
,
have
brought
forth
Monst●rs
with
horns
,
and
●eak●
,
●nd
●loven
feet
,
The
s●me
is
when
Spiri●s
or
heat
,
seed
or
blood
are
weak
or
little
.
And
though
Doctors
cannot
cure
Monsters
,
yet
they
are
to
admonish
women
with
child
not
to
look
upon
Monsters
,
and
to
strengthen
their
Spirits
and
heat
,
and
to
keep
the
seed
and
blood
●ight
,
and
not
to
allow
copulation
in
time
of
their
terms
,
least
any
monstrous
Birth
should
be
f●om
much
and
impu●e
blood
.

Of
false
Conception
,
and
Swelling
.
FAlse
Conception
or
Gravidation
is
when
the
terms
are
stopt
,
and
the
belly
swells
,
and
there
are
signs
like
those
of
a
true
Conception
:
then
they
think
themselves
with
child
,
and
as
Hippocrates
saith
,
They
believe
not
to
the
contrary
till
ten
months
are
past
.
The
causes
,
are
wind
in
the
womb
,
or
water
,
〈◊〉
matter
,
or
thick
●●egm
.
These
are
bred
f●om
sickly
seed
ret●ined
,
u●on
whi●h
N●ture
works
in
vain
:
or
from
a
fault
in
the
terms
tha●●or●upts
the
seed
,
and
breeds
bad
h●mor●
.
The
like
appears
in
Virgins
when
they
begin
to
have
thei●
terms
,
but
it
is
discovered
by
pain
.
The
terms
flo●
not
as
in
a
true
Conception
,
but
in
this
there
is
pain
of
the
head
,
loyns
,
belly
,
●nd
groyns
,
of
which
Hipp●crate●

They

The
surest
sign
is
the
time
of
childbearing
being
past
.
They
are
commonly
barren
,
or
have
ulcers
in
their
privities
.
It
is
cured
by
evacuation
of
the

1.
Of
the
signs
of
Conception
.
IF
she
keeps
the
●eed
,
it
is
a
sign
she
hath
conceived
,
and
a
man
may
know
that
the
seed
is
kept
.
If
he
find
in
Copulation
that
his
Yard
is
is
sucked
and
drawn
by
the
womb
,
and
the
privities
are
not
moist
.
And
if
she
per●eives
little
or
no
●eed
●o
come
forth
again
,
and
grow
chill
and
quiver
,
〈◊〉
perceive
a
●witching
in
h●r
womb
,
from
the
●reat
delight
:
and
the
mouth
of
the
wo●b
closeth
,
●nd
the
〈◊〉
stop
.
But
they
are
deceived
,
when
they
count
or
reckon
from
the
stoppage
of
the
terms
.
For
some
have
their
terms
twice
or
thrice
after
they
have
conceived
,
and
some
have
them
all
along
without
hurt
.
The
chiefest
sign
of
C●nception
,
is
when
there
is
at
first
loathing
of
meat
,
pewking
Pica
,
or
preternatural
appetite
and
vomiting
.
And
when
they
hate
that
they
earnestly
affected
,
or
●aint
when
they
think
of
them
.
About
the
fourth
month
,
the
child
moveth
,
which
is
not
in
a
Mole
the
breasts
after
that
swel
with
milk
,
and
the
last
are
the
surest
signs
.
From
the
face
and
urin
there
is
no
certainty
.
Hippocrates
teacheth
us
to
know
whether
it
be
a
Male
or
Female
;
If
she
be
with
child
of
a
Boy
,
sh●
is
better
coloured
,
but
pale
if
of
a
Girle
.
And
Boy●
lie
on
the
right
side
,
and
Girls
on
the
left
in
the
womb
.

Of
the
Government
and
Diet
of
Women
with
Child
.
THe
Diet
is
,
either
for
such
as
are
sound
,
or
as
have
diseases
.
As
for
the
air
,
Hippocrates
saith
,
If
there
be
a
wet
warm
winter
with
Southernly
winds
,
a
dry
spring
with
Northern
winds
,
they
who
conceive
in
the
spring
abort
upon
any
small
occasion
.
Or
if
they
bring
forth
,
their
children
are
weak
and
sickly
,
o●
die
.
Let
her
avoid
all
evil
s●ents
,
as
of
Rue
,
Penny-royal
,
Mints
,
Castor
,
and
Brimstone
.
Some
ca●not
bear
sweet
scents
,
let
them
not-look
upon
●●●rible
things
,
nor
hear
great
noise
of
Guns
.
Let
meat
be
easie
of
concoction
;
let
her
e●●
Quinces
to
strengthen
the
child
,
or
sweet
Almonds
with
Honey
,
sweet
Apples
,
Grapes
.
Let
her
abstain
from
sharp
meats
,
very
bitter
or
salt
,
and
things
that
can
provoke
terms
,
as
Garlick
,
Onions
,
Olives
,
Mustard
,
Fennel
,
Pepper
,
and
all
Spices
.
In
the
last
months
,
Cinnamon
is
good
,
Summer
fruits
are
naught
for
her
,
and
all
Pulse
.
When
the
child
is
bigger
,
let
her
diet
be
more
,
for
it
is
better
for
women
with
child
to
eat
too
much
then
too
little
,
least
the
child
should
want
nourishment
.
Let
her
drink
moderately
of
clear
Wine
,
not
exercise
too
much
,
nor
dan●●
,
nor
ride
in
a
Coa●h
that
shakes
her
;
let
her
not
lift
any
great
weights
in
the
first
and
last
months
.
In
the
ninth
month
let
her
move
a
little
more
,
to
dilate
the
pa●ts
,
and
stir
up
natural
●eat
.
Let
her
abstain
from
Venery
in
the
first
months
,
least
there
be
a
Mole
or
Superfoetation
,
or
the
child
be
hurt
,
but
she
may
use
it
moderately
in
the
last
.
She
may
bathe
in
the
last
months
,
once
in
a
week
to
loosen
the
privie
parts
.
Let
her
avoid
anger
,
sorrow
,
fear
,
and
too
much
mirth
.
Let
her
sleep
rather
then
to

Of
the
Cure
of
Women
with
Child
in
General
.
THey
have
divers
chronick
and
acute
diseases
:
as
Feavers
,
Pleuri●ie
Quinzies
,
or
inflammation
of
the
Bowels
,
of
which
Hippocrate●
(
If
a
Woman
with
child
have
an
acute
disease
,
it
is
deadly
)
There
is
a
double
danger
.
1.
In
respect
of
the
Feaver
which
Galen
●aith
wil
be
continual
.
2.
In
respect
of
the
want
of
nourishment
for
the
child
.
For
if
a
woman
with
child
be
fed
,
the
Feaver
increaseth
.
If
●he
have
an
Apoplexy
,
Epilep●ie
,
Convulsion
,
Cramp
,
she
cannot
bea●
it
out●
But
acute
diseases
are
not
alwaies
deadly
in
women
with
child
.
They
have
sometimes
intermitting
Feavers
,
Coughs
,
from
which
they
hardly
are
freed
be●ore
they
are
delivered
.
Question
.
1.
Whether
must
Women
with
child
use
a
sparing
Diet
?
I●
you
give
her
a
Diet
at
a
long
distance
,
the
child
will
be
starved
.
If
you
give
her
a
●ul
diet
,
and
often
the
feaver
will
endanger
both
mother
and
child
.
Therefore
be
moderate
,
and
add
somthing
to
the
diet
which
the
mother
loveth
before
the
feaver
,
for
the
childs
sake
,
and
for
the
feaver
.
Abate
the
diet
in
the
first
months●
let
the
diet
be
little
in
the
middle
and
last
months
,
let
it
be
larger
.
Question
.
2.
Whether
may
a
Woman
with
Child
be
let
blood
?
Hippocrates
●aith
,
If
a
woman
with
child
be
let
bl●od
,
she
will
miscarry
,
and
if
the
child
be
older
the
sooner
.
This
is
to
be
understood
of
great
bleeding
,
which
was
pints
in
his
time
,
but
now
we
go
by
ounces
.
Therefore
if
bleeding
be
required
in
a
feaver
,
or
the
like
,
and
the
woman
with
child
be
in
strength
,
you
may
boldly
let
blood
upon
these
●onditions
.
1.
That
you
take
not
nourishment
frō
the
child
,
let
it
be
a
little
,
and
you
wil
t●ke
more
,
do
it
the
second
time
,
least
you
weaken
.
2.
Open
not
the
foot
nor
the
Basilica
,
but
the
M●diana
.
3.
Before
you
bleed
,
strengthen
the
child
by
applications
to
the
navel
.
And
if
they
abort
in
a
feaver
,
you
must
impute
it
rather
to
the
vio●ence
of
the
feaver
,
then
to
the
bleeding
,
and
you
u●●d
the
necessary
help
for
preserving
the
mother
.
But
it
is
safer
in
the
first
then
in
the
last
months
,
●e●●use
the
child
needs
a
further
diet
.
You
may
also
open
a
vein
in
a
woman
with
●hild
,
●hat
hath
no
disease
to
prevent
abortion
,
●hen
there
is
much
blood
,
in
the
fourth
or
fifth
●●n●h
,
especially
if
they
have
no
feaver
,
and
are
●●rong
.
As
Celsus
●aith
,
A
strong
C●ild
,
and
a
〈◊〉
old
man
,
and
a
healthy
woman
with
child
,
may
be
sifely
let
blood
.
And
Hippocrates
forbids
b●eeding
only
,
least
the
child
should
want
nourishment
.
Question
3.
Whether
m●y●
a
Woman
with
Child
be
purged
?
You
must
not
give
strong
Purges
,
least
thei●
force
which
moveth
the
humors
,
should
reach
t●
the
womb
,
and
cast
out
the
child
.
Therefore
you
must
not
purge
women
with
child
in
all
diseases
,
nor
at
all
times
,
but
only
in
the
fourth
month
ti●
the
seventh
,
and
that
sparingly
.
And
if
the
matter
swell
and
abound
,
as
Hippocrates
shews
.
Fo●
the
danger
from
the
turgent
matter
is
easily
avoided
thereby
:
for
it
will
be
purged
with
more
ease
,
then
when
it
is
fixed
and
quiet
.
1.
Therefore
onely
purge
in
an
acute
disease
.
2.
From
the
beginning
of
the
fourth
onely
to
the
end
of
the
si●th●
3.
Use
no
vehement
Medicine
,
no●
very
bitter
,
as
Aloes
which
is
an
enemy
to
the
child
,
and
opens
the
mouths
of
the
vessels
;
no●
Co●oquintida
,
nor
Scammony
,
nor
Turbith
,
but
use
Cassia
,
Manna
,
Rhubarb
,
Agarick
and
Senna
:
but
Diacydonium
purgans
is
best
with
a
li●tle
of
the
Electuary
of
the
ju●ce
of
Roses
.
If
there
be
a
chronick
di●ease
,
she
may
also
be
purged
safely
,
especially
if
she
be
used
to
it
,
and
strengtheners
be
applied
to
the
navel
.
Question
4.
Whether
purging
or
bleeding
is
most
dangerous
for
a
Woman
with
Child
?
We
s●●wed
in
the
last
Question
the
necessity
of
purging
and
its
danger
by
the
great
motion
of
humors
,
which
if
i●
reach
to
the
womb
,
causeth
abortion
,
because
it
causeth
pain
in
the
belly
,
and
provokes
the
te●ms
.
But
bleedin●
di●●urbs
the
humors
less
,
nor
doth
hurt
any
way
,
but
by
taking
nourishment
from
the
child●
And
this
you
need
not
fear
,
if
there
be
too
much
blood
.
There●ore
pu●ging
is
more
dangerous
then
bleeding
.
Question
5.
Wh●ther
is
it
lawful
to
cause
an
Abortion
to
preserve
the
Mother
?
A
Christian
may
not
cause
an
abortion
for
any
cause
,
for
it
is
wicked●
and
the
Gentiles
in
Hipp●crates
his
time
never
allowed
it
,
they
would
not
hinder
Conception
,
much
less
would
they
destroy
it
when
made
.
Nor
must
the
mo●her
be
p●eserved
by
the
loss
of
the
child
,
For
we
must
not
do
evil
,
that
good
may
come
thereby
.
But
if
to
preserve
the
mother
,
the
Physitian
purge
or
bleed
,
and
the
abortion
follow
,
the
fault
is
not
the
Physitian
that
intended
it
not
,
but
in
the
weakness
of
Nature
and
of
the
child
,
and
is
better
to
preserve
the
mother
,
then
by
neglecting
the
lawful
means
,
let
both
die
.
Also
the
dead
child
must
presently
be
thrown
out
.
Question
6.
Whether
are
Clysters
,
Diureticks
and
Swea●s
prop●r
for
a
Woman
with
Child
?
Though
women
deny
Clysters
to
them
,
yet
if
they
have
been
used
to
them
,
they
may
be
given
in
a
〈◊〉
quantity
,
such
as
only
molli●ie
and
sup●le
,
no●
do
th●y
more
hurt
th●n
Lenitives
.
Di●●eticks
or
things
that
provoke
urine
,
are
●●t
safe
,
because
they
p●ovoke
the
t●●ms
.
You
〈◊〉
not
give
g●ntle
Sweats
,
for
Nature
will
re●●ive
strength
by
the
castin●
off
of
her
enemies
.
●ou
may
use
Alterers
th●t
are
proper
,
as
this
Syrup
.
Take
the
juyce
of
unripe
Grapes
about
the
beginning
of
September
three
galons
,
add
Pom●●itrons
or
Lemons
bruised
hal●
a
pound
:
boyl
them
〈◊〉
they
are
soft
,
and
strain
them
,
and
with
half
a
pou●●
of
Sugar
make
a
Syrup
.
Chap.
4.
Of
the
Symptomes
that
befal
Women
with
Child
in
in
the
first
months
.
THey
are
loathing
of
meat
,
Pica
,
or
evil
appetite
,
pewking
,
vomiting
,
belly-ach
,
flux
of
the
belly
,
tooth
and
headach
,
giddiness
.
These
all
come
from
the
stoppage
of
the
terms
,
especially
in
a
Cacochymy
or
evil
juyce
:
for
it
goes
to
the
stomach
,
and
so
to
the
head
.
Fi●st
,
●●ey
loath
meat
,
which
Hippocrates
●aith
is
a
sign
of
Conception
.
And
this
is
when
the
child
takes
the
purest
blood
,
and
leaves
the
impure
,
which
gets
into
the
mouth
of
the
stomach
,
and
insects
it
,
and
hence
comes
the
loathing
of
some
sorts
o●
meats
.
Sometimes
this
ceaseth
of
it self
;
but
if
there
be
danger
of
a
Consumption
in
the
mother
,
le●●
the
child
should
be
in
danger
for
want
of
food
,
give
a
gentle
Vomit
or
Stomach-pills
,
with
thing●
that
strengthen
the
Stomach
.
As
,
Take
Co●ser●●
of
red
Rose●
half
an
ounce
,
of
Bettony
an
ounc●
,
p●●served
Quinces
three
dram●
,
Aromaticum
〈◊〉
half

,
Pearl
prepared
half
a

〈◊〉
Syrup
of

Quin●es
,
make
an
E●●ctuary
.
Anoint
the
stomach
with
oyl
of
Mastich
,
〈◊〉
Quinces
,
Wormwood
,
Mirtles
,
&c.
Give
〈◊〉
and
powerful
things
with
〈…〉
roasted
rather
then
boyled
.
Pica
is
when
they
desire
strange
and
absurd
things
,
as
coals
,
ashes
,
&c.
as
she
that
longed
for
her
husbands
flesh
,
and
though
she
loved
him
very
well
;
she
killed
him
,
eat
part
,
and
poudered
up
the
rest
.
Of
this
disease
we
spake
in
the
third
Book
.
Juyce
of
yong
Vine-●eaves
with
syrup
of
Quinces
,
is
good
against
this
,
or
the
water
that
drops
in
May
from
the
Vines
.
This
keeps
the
child
from
suffering
by
the
mothers
appetite
.
Or
this
Spirit
.
Take
Citron
peels
,
Oranges
,
P●●ny
roots
as
much
as
you
please
,
add
Malmsey
,
di
〈…〉
them
some
daies
,
then
beat
the
roots
and
peels
,
ad
more
Malmsey
,
and
distil
them
.
The
third
is
loathing
and
vomiting
,
from
an
evil
vapor
or
humor
in
the
stomach
from
blood
retained
.
If
vomiting
gives
her
ease
,
stop
it
not
,
but
leave
it
to
Nature
,
it
wil
cease
after
a
month
or
two
.
If
it
be
with
trouble
,
give
a
gentle
Vomit
,
or
strengthen
the
stomach
,
or
give
a
little
Rhubarb
.
The
fourth
is
pain
of
the
belly
,
f●om
wind
and
humors
about
the
womb
that
go
to
the
guts
,
discuss
them
as
in
Chap.
3.
of
the
Colick
.
Avoid
moist
Fomentations
,
give
Cinnamon
water
,
or
spiced
Wine
.
The
fifth
is
a
loosness
which
must
be
suddenly
stopt
,
least
it
cause
an
abortion
.
First
,
give
a
●entle
Clenser
and
strengthener
,
●s
Rhubarb
with
●●●up
of
Roses
solutive
,
then
Quinces
at
the
first
course
at
meals
;
and
Rice
,
Starch
,
Almonds
,
Con●●●●e
of
Rose●
,
Quinces
.
Apply
to
the
navel
a
Pul
〈…〉
of
Quinc●s
,
Mastich
,
Nutmegs
,
Mace
,
Cloves
.
The
sixth
is
the
toothach
,
from
a
sh●rp
humor
●●om
retention
of
the
terms
that
goes
to
the
r●ot
〈◊〉
some
tooth
,
and
hurts
the
membranes
.
It
ceaseth
commonly
of
〈◊〉
self
,
yet
if
it
be
great
,
use
a
Plaister
of
Mastich
and
Tacamahacca
to
the
temples
,
and
hold
in
the
mouth
the
Decoction
of
Fern
root●
,
Cinquefoyl
,
Snakeweed
,
Sage
,
Mulberry
ba●●●
&c.
The
seventh
is
headach
,
when
the
vapors
f●om
the
terms
stopt
,
ascend
and
twitch
the
memb●ane●
of
the
brain
,
it
must
be
repelled
and
abated
with
Lenitives
,
of
which
in
Lib.

of
Headach
.
The
eighth
of
the
Megrim
,
from
the
vapors
disturbing
the
Spirits
that
go
to
the
head
by
the
veins
and
arteries
,
or
by
the
gullet
.
If
it
cease
not
,
discuss
vapors
,
and
strengthen
the
brain
inwardly
and
outwardly
as
in
Vertigo
.
Chap.
5.
Of
the
Symptoms
in
Women
with
Child
in
the
middle
months
.
THey
are
cough
,
heart-beating
,
fainting
,
watching
,
pain
in
the
loyns
and
hips
,
and
bleeding
.
1.
The
cough
is
from
a
sharp
vapor
that
comes
to
the
jaws
and
rough
artery
from
the
ter●s
,
or
from
a
thin
part
of
that
blood
gotten
into
the
●eins
of
the
breast
,
or
falling
from
the
head
to
the
breast
.
This
endangers
abortion
,
and
strength
●ails
from
watching
;
therefore
purge
the
h●mors
that
f●ll
from
the
head
to
the
breast
,
with
Rhubarb
,
Agari●l●
,
and
strengthen
the
head
as
in
a
C●tarrh
,
and
giv●●●eet
Lenitives
,
as
in
〈◊〉
Cough
.
2.
Palpitation
of
he●●t
and
fainting
,
is
f●●m
vapors
that
go
to
it
by
the
●rteries
,
or
f●om
bl●●●
that
aboundeth
,
and
cānot
get
out
at
the
womb
,
but
ascends
and
oppre●leth
the
heart
.
Use
Cordials
as
in
Syncope
inwardly
and
outwardly
.
If
it
be
from
too
much
blood
as
in
Plethory
,
open
a
vein
.
3.
Watching
is
from
dry
sharp
vapors
that
trouble
the
animal
Spirits
.
Then
use
Frictions
,
and
wash
the
feet
at
bed-time
,
and
give
Syrup
of
Poppies
,
dried
Roses
,
Emulsions
of
sweet
Almonds
,
and
white
Poppy
seeds
.
4.
There
is
pain
in
the
loyns
and
hipps
from
the
weight
of
the
child
,
or
from
the
terms
stopt
,
or
growth
of
the
child
that
stretcheth
the
ligaments
of
the
womb
and
parts
adjacent
;
if
there
be
Plethory
,
bleed
.
If
it
be
from
weight
of
the
child
,
hold
it
up
with
swathing
Bands
about
the
neck
.
5.
There
is
flux
of
blood
at
the
womb
,
nose
,
o●
Haemorrhoids
from
plenty
,
or
from
the
weakness
of
the
child
that
takes
it
not
in
,
or
from
evil
humors
in
the
blood
,
that
stir
up
Nature
to
send
it
forth
.
Also
the
vessels
of
the
womb
may
be
broken
or
torn
by
motion
,
fall
,
cough
,
or
trouble
of
mind
.
This
is
dangerous
,
of
which
Hippocrates
saith
,
The
child
cannot
be
well
,
if
it
be
from
blood
only
,
there
is
less
danger
,
so
it
●lows
by
the
veins
of
the
neck
of
the
womb
for
it
takes
a●ay
Plethory
,
or
take
not
nourishment
from
the
child
.
If
it
be
from
the

Of
Weakness
of
the
Child
.
THis
is
either
from
weak
seed
or
little
nourishment
or
bad
,
and
causeth
many
diseases
in
the
child
.
To
hinder
abortion
and
death
of
the
child
,
know
rightl●
the
weakness
,
as
Hippocrates
saith
,
They
that
will
abort
,
have
first
breasts
that
●al
away
,
which
i●
from
want
of
nourishment
in
the
common
vei●s
of
the
womb
and
breasts
.
Hipp●crates
●ath
a
se●ond
sign●
which
is
this●
I●
a
W●man
with
Child
hath
much
milk
flowing
from
her
breast
,
her
Child
is
weak
.
3.
If
the
terms
flow
often
,
the
nourishment
is
taken
from
the
child
.
4.
A
mother
often
and
long
being
sick
,
shews
that
her
child
is
weak
,
because
her
blood
is
not
good
,
and
the
bad
humors
with
the
blood
go
to
nourish
the
child
which
makes
him
sick
.
5.
When
the
mother
hath
a
flux
of
the
belly
,
the
child
is
weak
.
6.
Whē
it
begins
to
move
,
and
is
scarce
felt
,
it
is
weak
.
If
it
be
from
these
causes
,
take
them
away
,
and
strengthen
the
child
;
first
●eed
the
mother
high
with
meats
of
good
juyce
,
and
sweet
Almonds
steept
in
Honey
,
Raisons
,
Quinces
,
outwardly
thus

Take

Chap.
8.
Of
Crying
in
the
Womb.
CHildren
have
somtimes
cryed
in
the
womb
,
as
Fabricius
saith
in
his
Epistle
to
his
Brother
James
Fin●el
,
and
W●inridi●k
of
Monsters
,
writes
thus
,
In
this
City
of
Bressa
a
child
was
heard
to
cry
in
the
womb
three
daies
before
the
travel
;
when
he
was
a
man
,
he
was
mis●rable
with
poverty
and
dis●as●s
,
till
he
died
.
Andreas
Libavi●●
writes
the
same
,
and
others
.
Some
sa●
it
portends
evil
to
the
Mother
,
or
Child
,
or
Countrey
.
It
is
a
v●ice
by
the
expulsion
of
the
air
th●ou●h
the
●ough
arte●y
,
and
some
air
may
in
the
c●vities
from
vapors
or
Spirits
,
as
in
eggs
when
chickens
pip
in
them
.
And
if
the
child
have
a
rough
artery
,
lungs
and
breasts
which
are
the
organs
of
breathing
●ound
,
and
the
child
is
strong
,
there
is
no
hinderance
but
it
may
utter
a
voice
.
But
somthing
whatsoever
it
is
,
must
stir
it
to
make
this
noise
.
THE
FOURTH
BOOK
.
THE
THIRD
PART
.
THE
SIXTH
SECTION
.
Of
Symptoms
that
happen
in
Childbearing
.
Chap.
1.
Of
Child-bearing
in
General
.
WHEN
the
child
can
no
longer
be
contained
in
so
small
a
place
,
being
grown
,
and
requiring
mo●e
nourishment
,
it
ki●ks
,
and
b●eaks
the
membranes
and
Ligaments
that
h●ld
it
,
and
th●
womb
by
an
expelling
f●culty
,
sends
it
forth
with
great
straining●
and
this
is
called
●ravel
.
It
is
either
natur●l
or
not
natural
,
legitima●e
or
illigitimate
.
The
natural
is
when
the
child
●omes
with
the
head
forward
and
heels
upwards
,
with
his
hands
and
arms
to
his
thighs
,
and
so
the
other
parts
easily
follow
,
then
the
Amnios
is
broken
,
and
the
water
that
was
laid
up
in
time
of
being
with
child
flows
forth
,
and
moistens
the
passa●es
,
then
the
child
with
more
force
breaks
the
Acetabula
,
from
which
the
Secundine
is
separated
,
and
the
other
membranes
are
broken
,
and
the
blood
flows
into
the
cavity
of
the
womb
,
and
the
child
gets
out
by
the
expulsive
faculty
with
such
force
,
that
it
seems
to
fall
rather
then
be
expelled
,
and
the
bones
of
the
privities
must
needs
be
divided
.
That
which
follows
the
birth
is
above
humane
capa●ity
,
namely
the
transmutation
of
the
navel
vessels
,
and
lungs
,
and
heart
in
the
infant
,
and
why
Nature
ordered
it
,
of
which
Galen
elegantl●
in
the
15.
Book
of
the
Use
of
Parts
,
and
6.
Chapter
.
There
is
also
a
legitimate
birth
,
when
it
is
acco●ding
to
the
Law
of
Nature
,
and
an
illegitimate
,
when
it
is
before
or
after
the
time
.
Hippocra●es
saith
that
a
birth
in
the
seventh
month
is
vital
and
legitimate
.
And
it
is
sooner
f●om
the
strength
of
the
faculty
and
matter
●it
for
formation
,
yet
it
is
commonly
weak
,
except
the
●eventh
month
be
compleat
.
Of
the
eighth
month
Hippocrates
●aith
thus
,
None
live●
that
is
born
in
the
eighth
month
,
because
i●
cannot
bear
the
two
affliction●
to
follow
,
but
the
reason
of
the
Arithmeticians
is
better
,
that
say
an
even
month
is
imper●ect
.
The
ninth
and
tenth
month
are
the
best
,
as
Hi●p●crate●
●aith
;
A
child
is
born
in
ten
months
at
t●e
f●rthest
,
and
so
●aies
the
wisest
Salomon
.
Some
say
that
a
child
may
●e
born
in
the
eleventh
month
,
and
Peter
Apponensis
was
so
born
;
and
some
say
they
have
been
born
in
the
fourteenth
and
fifteenth
month
:
but
rare
things
are
not
to
be
counted
the
Law
of
Nature
.
Generally
Physitians
agree
with
Hippocrates
,
though
some
dissent
.
Chap.
2.
Of
Abortion
.
IT
is
the
exclusion
of
a
child
,
not
perfect
nor
living
,
before
legitimate
time
.
This
time
is
defined
by
Hippocra●es
,
Whosoever
conceiveth
,
doth
it
within
seven
daies
,
but
they
are
properly
abortions
that
come
before
the
seventh
day
;
and
though
some
are
in
the
fifth
and
sixth
month
that
have
lived
,
y●t
that
must
not
d●rogate
from
the
common
Law
of
Nature
.
Some
differences
of
Abortion
are
from
the
time
and
bigness
of
the
child
.
For
that
which
is
cast
out
,
is
little
and
round
,
without
distinction
of
members
at
first
,
like
a
Grape
.
Somtimes
as
long
as
a
●inger
,
and
members
may
be
distinguished
.
And
somtimes
the
child
is
almost
perfect
.
The
immediate
Cause
,
is
the
expulsive
faculty
sti●red
up
,
and
that
is
done
by
three
means
from
Galen
,
from
the
weight
,
bigne●s
and
pain
.
There
are
more
causes
which
we
shal
place
in
two
Ranks
.
The
first
is
of
the
manner
of
the
causes
that
provoke
the
expulsive
faculty
.
The
other
is
that
which
●indeth
out
these
waies
by
all
the
causes
.
The
expulsive
f●culty
is
first
provoked
by
the
child
being
weak
,
either
from
evil
seed
,
or
being
dead
.
The
child
is
weak
for
want
of
food
,
and
from
the
mothers
diseases
,
either
in
her
whole
body
,
or
in
the
womb
,
or
parts
adjacent
that
consent
,
as
Feavers
,
Inflammations
,
Fainting
,
Convulsions
,
Pain
,
Vomiting
,
Neesing
.
Cough
that
move
the
Spirits
and
humors●
and
shake
the
child
and
stir
up
Nature
to
expel
it
.
Also
straitness
of
the
womb
causeth
Abortion
,
by
which
means
it
cannot
contain
a
great
child
.
Al●o
shortness
of
the
navel-vessels
,
which
Fabricius
first
observed
.
The
outward
Causes
,
are
cold
air
after
hot
and
moist
,
which
gets
into
the
womb
,
and
provokes
it
,
and
hu●ts
the
child
.
The
Astrologers
add
the
malignant
aspects
of
the
Stars
:
also
too
much
or
too
little
meat
.
Great
watchings
,
purging
,
and
flux
of
blood
by
the
womb
and
Haemorrhoids
.
Also
violent
motion
,
as
leaping
,
carrying
of
burdens
,
strokes
on
the
belly
or
ba●k
.
Also
passions
,
as
anger
,
fear
,
sorrow
.
Also
bleeding
,
purging
,
fasting
,
●mel
of
brims●one
or
ashes
,
hoofs
burnt
,
or
stink
of
the
snu●●
of
a
candle
.
If
the
breasts
be
less
,
or
much
milk
flow
from
them
,
or
she
feel
much
and
often
pain
about
th●
belly
or
loyns
,
that
go
to
the
Pubes
and
Os
sac●um
,
with
a
de●ire
of
thrusting
forth
in
the
womb
.
If
the
child
change
its
place
,
and
if
it
f●l
lower
when
it
was
in
the
middle
of
the
belly
,
there
is
fear
of
miscarr●ing
.
It
is
dangerous
alwa●●s
,
because
it
is
with
violence
,
there
are
also
great
Symptoms
:
they
are
in
l●●s
danger
that
have
already
brought
forth
a
●hild
;
●●●refore
the
●irst
is
most
danger●us
,
and
〈◊〉
mou●●s
of
the
vessels
ar●
to●n
,
and
they
commonl●
become
barren
.
Abortion
is
mo●t
dange●o●s
in
the
sixth
,
seventh
and
eighth
month
,
be●●●se
th●
in●ant
being
●●eater
,
●●useth
greater
pain
,
and
breaks
the
Ligaments
worse
.
To
preserve
from
Abortion
.
Consider
the
constitution
before
she
is
with
child
,
and
prevent
every
cause
.
If
it
be
like
to
come
from
Plethory
before
Conception
,
open
a
vein
,
and
after
Conception
in
the
fourth
or
●i●th
month

I●

,
open
a

before
the
time
she
used
to

gently

If
there

Question
.
Whether
the
straitness
of
the
Womb
,
is
the
Cause
of
Abortion
?
Hippocrates
1.
de
morb
.
saith
,
That
the
Womb
may
cause
Abortion
,
if
they
be
windy
,
thic●
,
great
,
〈◊〉
little
:
and
he
shews
in
another
place
that
Abortion
may
be
from
the
straitn●ss
of
the
womb
.
And
in
another
place
he
saith
,
I●
a
woman
in
the
third
,
●ourth
or
fifth
m●nth
mi●●arry
,
often
,
a●●
at
the
s●me
time
,
it
is
because
the
womb
wil
not
stretch
.
And
Galen
confirms
the
same
,
and
i●
st●nds
to
reason
,
for
natural
birth
is
when
the
womb
cannot
contain
the
child
for
its
growth
.
Th●r●for●
i●
it
be
●●eternaturally
too
little
,
it
i●
the
cause
o●
Mor●●on
.
And
though
N●ture
hath
made
the
womb
●o
hold
the
child
,
yet
i●
i●
be
not
made
large
enough
,
it
cannot
●●ntain
it
;
so
the
stomach
i●●●mtim●s
so
strait
,
that
it
cannot
hold
an
indi●f●●ent
quantity
of
me●t
,
as
others
can
.

And
because

it
;
the

are
extended
,
and
commonly
there
are
very
great

it

and
the

And
before

you

Then
let

Let

After

you

THough
Child-bearing
since
Eves
sin
is
ordained
to
be
painful
as
a
puni●hment
thero●
,
yet
sometimes
it
is
more
painful
then
ordinary
.
The
first
is
from
the
mother
,
and
the
expulsive
faculty
.
2.
From
the
Child
.
3.
From
the
passage
,
.
From
the
mother
,
as
when
the
womb
is
weak
,
and
the
mother
is
not
active
to
expell
from
weakness
or
diseases
or
want
of
spi●its
,
of
which
Hippocrates
.
It
is
from
the
birth
when
there
are
twins
or
more
,
and
both
strive
to
go
forth
at
a
●ime
,
or
if
the
child
stick
to
a
Mole
,
or
be
so
weak
that
it
cannot
break
the
membrane
,
or
if
it
be
too
big
all
over
,
or
in
the
head
only
,
or
if
the
Navil
vessels
are
twisted
about
his
neck
.
It
is
from
the
passages
when
the
membranes
a●e
thick
,
the
ori●ice
too
strait
,
and
the
neck
of
the
womb
is
not
open
sufficiently
,
as
in
such
as
labour
of
the
first
child
,
or
are
very
fat
.
The
passages
are
pressed
and
straitned
by
tumors
in
the
adjacent
parts
,
or
when
the
bones
are
too
fi●m
and
wil
not
open
,
then
the
mother
and
child
a●e
both
in
danger
,
or
when
the
passages
are
not
●●●ipp●ry
,
or
when
they
are
broken
too
soon
by
reason
of
the
thin
membranes
,
or
the
water
flows
●●●th
sooner
then
it
ought
.
You
may
know
ha●d
Travel
by
●●int
throws
,
that
come
at
a
great
distance
.
And
you
must
consider
all
things
concerning
the
mother
,
womb
●●d
child
.
In
hard
Travel
,
the
mother
and
child
are
in
danger
,
and
the
Perinaeum
sometimes
breaks
with
the
skin
from
the
privities
to
the
Arsehole
.
If
a
woman
be
four
daies
in
travel
,
the
child
scarce
escapes
.
All
things
that

are
good
to

Of
a
vitious
disorderly
birth
,
or
difficulty
preternatural
.
IF
the
head
come
not
forth
first
,
and
the
hands
and
●eet
are
upwards
there
is
an
ill
birth
.
Hippocrates
reckons
two
causes
,
the
largeness
of
the
womb
,
and
disorderly
motion
of
the
mother
from
pain
,
also
the
thickness
of
the
membrane
,
which
when
it
cannot
break
with
the
head
,
it
attempts
to
do
with
the
feet
and
hands
.
The
midwife
may
perceive
in
what
figure
the
child
comes
forth
.
All
disorderly
coming
forth
is
dangerous
to
mother
and
child
,
but
there
is
least
danger
when
both
●eet
come
forth
,
this
is
called
by
the
Latins
Partus
Agrippin●s
.
Let
the
Midwife
reduce
it
into
the
cavity
of
the
womb
when
it
comes
not
forth
right
,
and
place
it
right
.
When
the
feet
cannot
be
thrust
upwards
,
let
the
Midwife
fupple
the
parts
with
oyl
,
and
take
hold
of
the
arm
and
help
it
,
and
give
neesings
.
Let
her
alwaies
labor
to
put
the
child
in
a
right
posture
by
moving
it
with
her
hand
,
or
taking
the
mother
from
the
bed
,
and
compose
her
in
such
a
posture
as
may
bring
the
child
into
a
right
posture
,
and
that
soon
.

Of
a
slow
Birth
.
THis
is
when
the
child
is
longer
coming
forth
then
ordinarily
,
●f
this
Massa
writes
that
a
Venetian
Matron
conceived
of
a
husband
of
seventy
years
of
age
,
and
brought
forth
a
child
in
the
●i●teenth
month
blind
and
without
hands
which
lived
five
months
.
Cardanns
writes
that
his
father
said
he
was
born
in
the
thi●teenth
month
,
and
Mercurialis
writes
thus
.
That
it
was
never
seen
or
written
that
a
woman
had
a
live
chi●d
f●ur
years
in
her
belly
,
&c.
but
these
are
rare
and
miraculous
.
The
cause
is
the
weakness
of
the
seed
,
and
want
of
heat
in
the
womb
,
which
makes
the
expulsive
●aculty
weak
.
Chap.

Of
a
Child
dead
in
the
womb
.
WHen
at
the
time
of
Child-birth
,
there
is
pain
and
breaking
●orth
of
water
,
which
ceaseth
presently
without
delivery
,
the
child
remaining
in
the
womb
,
then
the
mother
or
the
child
dies
,
or
both
.
When
the
travel
is
vehement
from
divers
causes
,
they
may
also
cause
no
birth
,
for
either
the
more
she
may
lose
her
strength
and
the
child
not
come
forth
,
or
both
may
die
.
And
if
the
child
be
weak
and
move
little
,
or
the
mother
may
be
weak
and
the
child
great
,
the
travel
is
hard
and
both
die
,
or
if
the
child
come
not
forth
in
a
right
posture
.
Or
if
the
passages
are
ill
proportioned
,
as
when
the
bones
of
the
Pubes
do
not
give
way
,
or
when
there
is
Schirrhus
,
or
other
tumor
that
straitneth
the
passages●
there
is
no
delivery
.
Or
the
child
dies
by
a
disease
for
want
of
nourishment
,
or
a
fall
,
stroak
,
or
leap
,
or
passion
in
the
mother
.
Search
if
the
child
be
living
or
dead
,
for
if
it
be
dead
it
wil
hurt
the
mother
by
rotting
,
and
if
the
mother
die
and
child
be
alive
,
take
it
out
before
the
mother
be
buried
.
A
child
is
known
to
be
dead
if
the
mother
and
Midwi●e
perceive
no
motion
,
nor
is
it
raised
by
any
strengtheners
given
,
and
when
the
mother
moves
from
side
to
side
,
i●
moves
like
a
stone
,
o●
when
the
face
and
lipps
of
the
mother
are
pale
,
and
her
extream
parts
livid
:
and
the
breasts
that
were
plump
,
are
fallen
;
her
breath
sttinks
,
water
and
stinking
matter
flows
from
the
womb
;
there
is
a
Feaver
,
horror
and
fainting
,
or
Convulsion
;
or
if
the
Secundine
come
forth
before
the
child
.
If
a
dead
child
be
not
presently
taken
out
,
the
mother
is
in
great
danger
:
there
are
great
Symptoms
,
and
strange
diseases
,
of
which
see
Francis
Rousset
and
others
.
When
the
child
comes
not
forth
in
time
;
and
is
alive
,
it
must
be
taken
out
by
the
Midwife
or
Chirurgion
by
cutting
the
belly
and
womb
,
of
which
in
the
Chapter
following
.
If
it
be
dead
,
you
must
drive
,
or
take
it
out
before
it
stinks
,
either
by
Medicines
or
Chirurgery
.
The
Medicines
are
such
as
stir
up
the
expulsive
faculty
,
but
they
must
be
stronger
then
before
,
because
the
motion
of
the
child
ceaseth
,

taken
in
with
a
Funnel
.
If
these
wil
not
do
,
use
Chirurgery
.
It
is
done
with
the
hand
only
,
or
with
instruments
,
of
which
Aegineta
and
Aetius
.
Charles
Stephens
shews
how
to
use
the
hand
without
instruments
.
When
you
know
the
child
is
dead
(
saith
he
)
place
the
woman
in
the
best
posture
,
and
tie
her
so
very
fast
,
&c.
see
the
rest
.
John
Bauhin
takes
the
same
course
out
of
Schenks
Observations
.
And
because
the
strength
●aileth
,
refresh
her
,
and
abate

,
cherish
the

,
and
prevent

To
take

Chap.
9.
Of
the
Caesarean
Birth
.
THe
belly
and
womb
are
cut
sometimes
to
take
out
the
child
,
and
this
is
called
the
Caesarean
Birth
,
and
they
that
live
are
called
Caesars
.
It
is
done
in
three
cases
.
1.
When
the
child
is
dead
,
and
the
woman
liv●
.
2.
Wh●n
the
woman
is
dead
,
and
the
child
alive
.
3.
When
both
mother
and
child
are
alive
.
This
is
seldom
,
because
either
Medicines
do
it
,
or
it
is
taken
out
by
other
Chirurgery
,
or
the
work
is
left
to
Nature
.
Mathias
Cornax
hath
a
History
of
one
that
carried
a
dead
child
in
her
belly
four
years
,
it
was
taken
out
by
cutting
the
womb
and
belly
,
and
the
mother
lived
,
and
conceived
with
child
after
:
she
fainted
not
at
the
time
,
and
the
wound
grew
together
without
stitching
;
and
her
terms
after
came
in
good
order
,
and
she
had
a
lusty
Boy
till
the
2.
of
June
.
The
Surgeons
that
had
cut
her
afore
were
sent
for
,
and
the
old
orisice
was
open
,
and
the
mother
and
the
women
present
,
would
not
yeild
to
the
second
cutting
.
Therefore
her
strength
failed
,
and
the
Chirurgion
took
out
a
compleat
child
,
but
it
was
dead
.
There
are
more
Histories
of
live
children
cut
out
of
their
mothers
bellies
being
dead
.
And
Roderick
a
Castro
saith
that
an
infant
cannot
live
in
the
mothers
womb
being
dead
,
except
it
be
taken
out
at
the
very
time
of
her
departure
,
or
while
there
are
vital
Spirits
,
because
when
the
motion
and
life
of
the
mother
cease
,
the
life
of
the
child
also
ceaseth
:
yet
is
his
Argument
of
no
force
,
because
the
child
hath
its
proper
Soul
,
and
if
it
be
wel
,
it
may
live
a
while
in
the
womb
without
bene●it
from
the
mother
,
as
it
doth
when
it
is
delivered
.
But
take
heed
it
be
not
suffocated
in
the
womb
,
and
keep
the
mothers
mouth
open
,
and
let
the
Midwi●e
never
move
her
hand
from
the
privities
,
till
the
Chirurgion
have
taken
it
out
:
and
you
may
know
that
the
child
is
alive
,
when
the
mother
is
dead
by
its
leaping
.
Charles
Step●ens
shews
the
way
of
taking
out
a
dead
child
.
When
a
live
child
is
cut
out
of
the
belly
of
a
live
mother
,
it
is
done
onely
least
the
mother
or
child
,
or
both
should
die
.
And
this
may
be
done
,
and
both
preserved
alive
,
which
is
plainly
demonstrated
by
Francis
Rousset
in
his
Book
of
this
subject
,
so
that
there
is
no
doubt
of
it
.
For
first
he
shews
the
necessity
of
the
operation
,
and
next
the
possibility
of
it
,
shewing
that
the
muscles
of
the
belly
,
the
Peritonaeum
and
womb
may
be
cut
without
hazard
of
life
.
Thirdly
,
he
confirms
by
History
what
he
proved
by
reason
,
and
shews
that
many
wounds
of
the
muscles
in
the
lower
belly
,
Peritonaeum
and
womb
have
been
cured
.
Fourthly
,
he
propounds
many
more
dangerous
cases
then
the
Caesarean
Section
,
which
were
not
deadly
in
themselves
.
And
then
he
shews
the
manner
of
the
operation
,
and
how
it
is
to
be
done
.
Therefore
have
recourse
to
his
works
,
if
thou
wilt
learn
it
.

Childbearing
diminished
or
detained
.
THis
is
not
alike
in
all
women
,
for
in
some
women
the
blo●d
is
fresh
:
in
others
it
is
waterish
,
cholerick
,
or
melancholick
.
And
som●
bleed
more
then
others
,
according
to
the
constitution
and
Countrey
.
It
is
either
not
at
all
,
o●
too
much
,
or
too
little
.
When
they
are
stopt
or
lessened
,
the
vessels
ar●
too
strait
,
or
the
blood
flows
another
way
,
or
i●
is
too
thick
,
or
the
vessels
of
the
womb
are
pressed
from
its
position
:
the
blood
is
drawn
away
by
passions
,
fear
,
or
goes
hastily
to
the
brea●●s
.
The
just
quantity
is
not
to
be
de●ined
:
when
it
is
stopt
,
the
belly
swels
,
the
pain
is
in
the
b●ttom
of
the
b●lly
and
groyns
;
there
is
chilness
and
a
feaver
after
it
,
●ainting
,
weak
,
swi●t
,
unequal
pulse
;
there
is
●oot●
in
the
urin
.
Somtimes
the
belly
is
inflamed
,
or
she
voids
blew
or
black
clodds
of
blood
.
It
is
bad
of
it self
to
have
any
thing
left
after
Childbearing
,
and
worse
if
it
staies
long
,
and
grows
melancholick
:
therefore
it
is
a
cause
of
many
diseases
.
First
,
endeavor
to
evaeuate
the
blood
from
the
womb
by
Frictions
,
Ligatures

i●
they

Of
the

after
Travel
,
and
torments
in

THese
are
not
in
the
body
,
and
bottome
of
the

,
but
in
the
vessels
and
membranes
by
which
the
womb
hangs
,
and
that
goes
to
the
sides
and
belly
.
They
are
from
a
constant
labor
in
travel
,
when
the
bottom
of
the
womb
is
pricked
to
send
forth
from

&
clotted

will
manifest
it self
.
They
we●ken
much
,
and
are
very
troubl●som
,
therefore
they
must
be
abated
.
First

The

is

you

so
the

Suffocation
after

is
from

,
and
in
its
hollow
part
,
by
plenty
and
sharp
it
opens
the
veins
,
and
it
gets
into
the
stomach
.
Sometimes
a
vein
is
broken
from
hard
travel
.
the
strength
will
●ail
,
and
there
will
be
no
ma●●er

if

food

If
other
humors

they
may
cause
a
feaver
by
their
motion
.
If
blood
be
vomited
from
a
vein
of
the
liver
broken
or
opened
,
a
Dropsie
is
to
be
feared
;
therefore
stop
it
,
whatsoever
it
be
in
this
case
.
If
it
be
of
the
meat
,
give
that

will

that
oppress

which
must

If

stop

with
gentle
Medicines

In

make
Revulsion
to
the
lower
parts
by
rubbing
,
cupping
them
,
or
bleeding
in
the
ham
or
ankle
,
and
provoke
the
after-flux
.
The
flux
of
the
belly
is
dangerous
if
it
be
great
,
for
it
weakneth
,
and
threatneth
to
bring
a
Dysentery
,
or
Tenesmus●
or
Needing
.
Nor
is
it
safe
to
stop
it
presently
,
least
you
stop
the
after-flux
with
it
.
If
it
be
from
food
not
well
concocted
,
let
her
keep
a
better
diet
,
and
let
the
stomach
be
strengthened
outwardly
.
If
this
will
not
do
,
give
internal
remedies
,
so
that
they
help
the
stomach●
and
hurt
not
the
womb

the
Decoction
of

If
they
be

the
belly
must
not
be
bound
.
But
first
give
Rhubarb

Astringents
outwardly

provokers
of

Also
the
belly
is
bound
in
women
in

,
then
give
a

Of
Feavers
and
acute
diseases
in
Women
in
child-bed
.
THey
have
oftē
cōtinual
Fevers
.
The
●●●st
is
th
Feaver
of
milk
about
the
fourth
or
third
day
from
the
motion
of
the
blood
from
the
womb
to
the
breasts
;
it
is
not
of
many
daies
and
continuance
,
and
is
not
dangerous
.
But
take
heed
you
mistake
not
a
putrid
●eaver
for
a
milk-●eaver
,
for
labour
and
pain
somtimes
inflame
the
humors
,
and
cause
putr●●action
,
and
though
the
Symptomes
appear
not
the
next
day
after
delivery
,
yet
there
may
be
the
beginning
of
putre●action
from
the
heat
of
the
humors
in
●ravel●
especially
if
the
after-flux
be
stopt
,
from
which
time
you
must
count
the
beginning
of
the
diseases
.
For
a
feaver
cannot
be
long
concealed
,
nor
the
motion
from
travel
last
long
:
therefore
it
is
probable
the
motion
is
ceased
,
and
the
●eaver
comes
of
another
cause
,
which
I
shal
decla●e
presently
.
They
are
the
sto●page
of
the
after-flux
,
or
the
diminishing
of
it
,
or
the
●oul
humors
that
were
gathered
in
the
time
of
being
with
ch●ld
,
and
stirred
●n
travel
.
Too
great
purging
of
the
af●e●blood
or
Lochia
signifies
Cacochymy
,
or
a
Feaver
that
will
come
long
after
travel
.
If
the
Lochia
●low
not
in
due
time
,
or
be
stopt
,
then
the
blood
and
●oul
humo●s
go
back
to
the
great
veins
and
liver
,
and
make
a
putrid
Feaver
,
or
inflame
those
parts
.
A
Feaver
from
milk
comes
the
fourth
day
,
and
t●ere
is
heaviness
●f
back
and
shoulders
,
and
the
Lochia
flow
wel
,
if
not
,
there
is
the
sign
of
a
●●ver
.
If
the
humors
putri●ie
in
the
womb●
there
is
●oul
stinking
matter
voided
,
the
belly
is
swollen
,
and
is
pained
when
touch●
.
If
the
feaver
be
not
from
milk
,
and
the
Lochia
●low
,
it
comes
from
bad
humors
,
especially
if
when
she
was
big
with
child●
she
kept
not
a
good
diet
.
A
Feaver
from
milk
is
without
danger
,
and
ceaseth
the
eighth
or
tenth
day
:
that
which
comes
from
suppression
of
the
Lochia
or
after-flux
,
is
dangerous
and
often
deadly
,
except
there
follow
a
flux
of
the
belly
.
If
black
stinking
matter
●low
from
the
womb
,
they
escape
If
the
feaver
come
from
a
Cacochymy
before
Delivery
,
it
is
worse
,
because
it
argues
much
humors
,
which
Nature
cannot
discharge
by
the
after-flux
,
and
the
strength
is
dejected
by
hard
travel
.
A
Feaver
from
milk
,
requires
only
good
diet
,
and
sweating
must
not
be
hindered
,
for
it
cures
.
That
which
is
from
stoppage
or
diminishing
of
the
Lochia
,
must
be
cured
by
provoking
the
after-flux
,
or
by
another
evacuatiō
instead
of
it
:
as
purging
,
bleeding
in
the
●oot
to
provoke
the
flux
or
by
●carifying
of
the
thighs
and
legs
,
after
cupping
,
while
the
time
is
,
that
the
after
flux
should
●e
not
afterwards
.
For
if
that
time
be
past
,
if
●●rength
permit
,
open
a
vein
in
the
arm
,
&
bleed
plentifully
.
For
purging
:
some
purge
them
in
a
Pleurisie
after
the
seventh
day
,
but
beware
by
reason
of
the
weakness
after
travel
,
and
because
Purges
may
hinder
the
after
flux
,
which
is
dangerous
,
it
is
good
to
evacuate
onely
by
the
womb
;
but
if
the
flux
of
blood
cease
,
and
Nature
would
pu●ge
somthing
from
the
womb
,
you
may
give
a
gentle
Purge
of
Rhubarb
,
Cassia
,
Manna
,
Syrup
of
Roses
,
Senna
.
Alterers
are
thus
to
be
ordered
.
Avoid
too
cold
and
sharp
things
,
le●t
the
evacuation
by
the
womb
should
de
di●●urbed
by
cold
things
.
Let
it
be
thin
the
first
daies
of
lying
in
,
then
thicker
,
and
so
increasing
,
take
heed
of
too
much
drink
,
especially
of
cold
drink
.
Question
.
What
Veins
are
to
be
opened
in
women
that
lie
in
,
and
have
a
Pleurisie
?
They
have
Symptomatical
●eavers
;
also
from
in●●ammation
of
the
Pleura
,
Jaws
or
Liver
,
because
some
of
the
●oul
humors
are
sent
to
some
private
part
,
and
makes
an
inflamation
to
which
the
●eaver
is
joyned
,
and
the
causes
are
as
before
mentioned
.
If
there
be
a
Pleuri●ie
,
she
is
in
great
danger
.
The
question
is
whether
she
must
bleed
above
or
below
,
I
say
thus
.
First
,
this
●eaver
is
not
properly
Symptomatical
,
but
primary
,
and
hath
the
inflammation
its
associate
,
while
Nature
sends
part
of
the
matter
to
the
Pleura
or
other
part
.
Secondly
note
,
that
Nature
is
in
an
er●or
while
she
sends
the
vitious
humors
,
which
she
should
expel
by
the
womb
to
the
Pleura
.
Thirdly
note
,
that
the
vitious
mo●ion
of
Nature
is
not
to
be
helped
therefore
,
which
should
be
done
if
you
should
presently
open
a
vein
in
the
arm
;
but
the
blood
is
to
be
voided
by
the
womb
,
which
is
Natures
way
.
Fourthly
,
i●
the
Pleuri●ie
be
not
abated
by
o●ening
a
vein
in
the
a●kle
for
revulsion
,
but
the
Symp●oms
continue
or
increase
,
you
must
not
continue
to
open
the
veins
beneath
,
because
they
evacuate
not
from
the
part
affected
,
which
is
ne●ess●ry
in
such
a
dangerous
disease
.
It
is
a
sign
that
the
matter
is
fastned
to
the
part
,
that
it
cannot
again
be
brought
to
the
womb
by
revulsion
.
Therefore
then
you
may
open
a
vein
in
the
arm
on
the
same
side
,
to
evacuate
and
derive
the
blood
from
the
part
or
there
about
,
or
she
will
be
in
danger
of
death
.
And
fear
not
,
that
Nature
will
be
taken
from
her
ordinary
motion
towards
the
womb
thereby
,
for
the
vein
that
was
opened
in
the
foot
,
prevented
that
:
and
if
you
fear
any
danger
,
you
may
prevent
it
by
Frictions
and
cupping
of
the
leggs
,
while
you
let
blood
in
the
arm
.
And
you
may
give
Clysters
,
that
may
cause
the
humors
moving
upwards
,
to
come
down
,
and
loosen
the
passages
of
the
womb
,
that
blood
may
flow
out
the
better
.
As
,
Take
Pellitory
of
the
Wall
,
Mallows
,
Althaea
,
red
Coleworts
,
each
a
handful
;
Chamomil●●owers
half
a
handful
,
Faenugreek
and
Linseed
,
each
half
an
ounce
;
boyl
them
in
Water
,
to
a
pint
strained
,
add
lenitive
Electuary
an
ounce
,
Diacatholicon
or
Cassia
half
an
ounce
,
Oyl
of
Violets
two
ounces
,
make
a
Clyster
.
If
the
Feaver
abate
,
and
the
time
of
the
flux
of
the
Lochia
be
past
,
give
a
gentle
Purge
.
Cure
the
rest
as
an
ordinary
Pleurisie
,
onely
take
heed
that
while
the
after-flux
lasts
,
you
give
no
binding
Medicine
.
Also
she
may
have
a
Quinzie
while
she
lies
in
,
while
the
vitious
matter
flows
to
the
jaws
.
The
●ure
of
which
bleeding
is
to
be
done
as
in
the
Pleuris●e
,
but
the
rest
is
to
be
done
as
in
the
Quin●●ie
.
And
if
the
Liver
be
inflamed
by
the
motion
of
the
humors
to
it
,
you
must
bleed
as
in
the
Pleurisie
and
Quinzie
.
Yet
it
is
not
so
needful
in
the
arm
as
in
the
Pleuri●ie
,
by
reason
of
the
greater
distance
of
the
Liver
from
the
arm
,
for
the
Pleura
and
the
breast
are
nearer
,
and
consent
more
with
the
arms
,
but
the
vein
in
the
leg●
is
near
to
the
hollow
vein
,
as
the
distribution
of
the
upper
veins
to
the
arms
.
The
rest
of
the
Cure
of
the
inflammation
●f
the
Liver
,
is
in
Lib.
3.
onely
observe
that
you
must
not
use
too
great
Coolers
or
Binders
in
women
in
Child-bed
,
but
things
that
are
of
thin
parts
,
least
the
flux
called
Lochia
or
after-blood
,
should
be
stopped
.

THE
FIRST
SECTION
.
Of
Diseases
of
the
Breasts
.
Chap.
1.
Of
the
increased
number
of
Breasts
,
and
gr●atness
extraordinary
.
THOUGH
Nature
hath
ordained
two
in
all
women
:
yet
some
have
Breasts
like
men
:
others
have
had
two
on
each
side
that
had
milk
.
The
figure
of
the
Breasts
is
round
pointed
at
the
nipple
a
little
,
it
ought
not
to
be
soft
nor
hard
,
and
of
an
indifferent
bigness
,
and
it
is
better
they
be
indifferent
,
though
th●y
hold
not
so
much
milk
,
least
they
be
subject
to
C●n●ers
and
in●lammations
,
and
when
they
are
too
big
,
they
have
not
a
temperate
heat
.
The
Causes
of
over-great
Breasts
,
is
much
blood
,
and
the
●●●ength
of
heat
attracting
and
●onco●ting
it
;
these
are
remote
causes
,
but
the
immedi●te
cause
is
the
la●geness
of
the
passages
and
loosness
,
which
is
in
the
first
conformation
,
and
furthered
by
idl●ness
,
much
sleep
,
and
few
terms
,
and
often
handling
of
the
Breasts
by
whi●h
the
blood
and
the
heat
is
drawn
to
the
Breasts
.
It
is
easier
to
keep
them
from
growing
great
,
then
to
abate
them
when
too
big
:
with
good
diet
and
Topicks
that
repel
by
cooling
,
and
binding
and
drying
.
As
,
Take
Mirtle
leaves●
Horstayl
,
Plantane
,
Mints
,
red
Roses
,
each
a
handful
;
Pomegranate
flowers
two
pugil●
:
boyl
them
in
red
Wine
and
Vinegar
,
and
with
a
Spunge
apply
it
to
the
breasts●
and
let
it
dry
:
or
apply
Hemlo●k
bruised
with
Vinegar
.
Or
,
Take
pouder
of
Com●r●●roots
two
drams
,
Pom●granate
flowers
,
red
R●●●s
,
Frankincense
,
Mastich
,
each
half
an
ounce
;
●●●ley
●●our
,
red
Oakre
,
each
an
ounce
and
half
;
with
Rose-wat●●
,
the
white
of
an
E●
,
and
●
little
Vineg●r
make
a
Cataplasme
.
These
may
be
laid
to
the
Breasts
,
and
under
the
arm-pi●s
,
to
astringe
the
vessels
,
and
hinder
the
blood
from
flowing
to
them
.
Hemlock
,
Henbane
,
and
other
Narcoticks
are
forbidden
,
because
they
weaken
the
natural
heat
and
hinder
the
breeding
of
milk
.
Dryers
and
Discussers
are
good
in
women
t●at
have
great
Breasts
after
weaning
,
to
consume
the
moisture
.
As
,
Take
Bean
and
Orobus
meal
,
each
tw●
ounces
and
half
;
Com●rey
roots
in
pouder
half
an
ounce
,
Mints
three
drams
,
Wormwood
,
Chamomil
fl●wers
an●
Roses
,
ea●h
two
drams
:
boyl
,
and
add
two
ounces
of
Oyl
of
Mastich
,
make
a
Cata●lasme
.
The
Breasts
are
too
little
,
when
the
flux
of
blood
to
the
Breasts
,
is
hindered
,
diminished
,
intercepted
,
revelled
,
or
turned
another
way
,
or
when
the
blood
is
not
drawn
by
the
Breasts
,
as
in
a
dry
Liver-famine
,
much
labour
,
or
in
watchings
,
feavers
,
and
other
diseases
that
consume
the
body
.
The
same
is
when
the
radical
moisture
of
the
Breasts
is
con●umed
.
You
must
remove
the
cause
that
breeds
it
,
and
●●ten
friction
wil
attract
blood
,
and
foment
with
warm
water
,
in
which
Emollients
have
been
boyl●d
with
white
Wine
,
and
then
anoint
with
Oyl
of
sweet
Almonds
,
or
of
Indian-nuts
.
Loosness
of
the
Breasts
is
cured
by
astringents
.
Chap.
2.
Of
Swelling
of
the
Breasts
with
Milk.
VVHen
the
milk
carrying
veins
are
too
full
,
the
Breasts
swell
all
over
,
or
in
●a●●
,
and
are
pained
by
stretching
and
red
Som●●●es
the
milk
congeal●th
,
and
is
a
hard
Tu●●●
.
●h●
cause
is
abundance
of
milk
or
blood
that
●●kes
it
,
or
the
weakness
of
the
child
that
cannot
●u●k
,
o●
because
he
is
weaned
.
I●
o●t●n
●●●seth
without
remedies
.
Somtimes
〈◊〉
is
an
in●●●mmation
,
or
the
milk
hardens
to
a
〈◊〉
You
must
hinder
the
breeding
of
much
milk
,
of
which
hereafter
,
and
consume
that
which
is
bred
;
in
women
that
give
suck
,
the
child
will
draw
them
,
or
a
Puppy
.
Or
use
a
Glass
to
su●k
with
:
they
which
wil
not
give
suck
,
may
use
this
.
Take
Barley
meal
of
Lentils
,
Althaea
roots
,
Chamomil
flowers
and
Mints
,
each
half
an
ounce
;
Agnus

3.
Of
Inflamation
and
Erysipelas
of
the
Breasts
.
SOmtimes
the
tumor
in
the
Breast
is
inflamed
from
blood
,
for
though
plenty
of
milk
cau●e
an
inflammation
,
blood
is
the
immediate
cause
,
for
milk
as
it
corrupts
and
grows
hot
,
increaseth
pain
,
and
so
the
blood
staying
in
the
fmal
capillar
veins
,
being
out
of
the
vessels
,
is
hot
,
putrid
and
inflamed
.
There
are
other
causes
,
as
strokes●
falls
,
straitness
of
cloaths
,
and
other
hurts
of
th●
Breasts
.
A
hard
and
red
swelling
shews
inflammation
with
beating
pain
,
and
a
Feaver
.
These
inflammations
are
commonly
withou●
danger
,
but
because
the
Breasts
are
so
loose
,
and
have
many
kernels
,
and
little
heat
,
they
turn
to
Cancers
and
Scirrhus
.
If
you
fear
a
great
flux
of
blood
that
will
increase
the
inflammation
,
let
blood
in
a
plethorick
b●dy
.
But
if
it
come
from
stopping
o●
th●●●rms
or
after
flux
,
first
open
the
vein
in
th●
ankle
,
and
s●arifie
the
leggs
,
then
(
if
need
be
)
●pen
the
arm
.
If
bad
humors
coming
to
the
Breasts
,
nourish
the
inflammation
,
give
a
gentle
Purge
of
Manna
,
Senna
,
and
the
like
.
If
the
blood
be
too
hot
,
or
mixt
with
hot
humors
that
help
the
motion
o●
the
blood
.
Use
Alterers
,
as
Lettice
,
Endive
,
●urslane
,
Plantane
,
Waterlillies
,
and
the
like
.
Use
Repellers
after
these
,
but
such
as
are
weak
and
not
too
cold
,
as
a
clout
dipt
in
Water
and
Honey
,
with
Oyl
of
Roses
applied

Question
.
Whether
the
Inflammation
of
the
Breasts
be
from
blood
alone
,
or
from
milk
also●
The
inflammation
and
swelling
in
women
in
Child-bed
upon
their
Breasts
,
is
from
the
a●●lux
of
too
much
milk
,
and
it
is
with
redness
and
pain
,
and
beating
or
pulsation
:
and
it
is
not
only
from
blood
,
for
tumors
(
as
in
other
parts
)
a●e
seldom
pure
or
unmixed
,
but
there
are
other
humors
with
it
.
Therefore
it
is
certain
,
that
when
blood
is
drawn
by
heat
or
pain
,
or
comes
of
i●
self
to
the
Breasts
,
and
begins
to
corrupt
,
the
milk
also
may
be
corrupted
.
Of
the
Erysipelas
of
the
Breasts
.
This
Erysipelas
is
from
fright
or
ang●r
,
and
i●
turns
presently
to
a
Phlegmon
,
and
is
cured
as
the
inflammation
of
the
Breast
.
Lay
no
cold
astringent
Repellers
,
or
f●t
things●
but
things
that
sweat
,
as
Harts-horn
,
seal●d
Earth
,
Carduus
must
be
given
with
El●er
water●
to
discuss
the
thin
blood
that
causeth
the
inflammation
.
Apply
outwardly
hot
a
Pledg●t
dipt
in
Elder-water
.

Of
the
Ocdema
of
the
Breasts
.
THis
flegmatick
tumor
is
in
cachectick
women
that
hav●
the
white
Feaver
;
it
is
cold
and
white
,
and
pits
,
because
the
part
is
loose
and
spungie
.
Are
a
loose
tumor
,
almost
insensible
of
pain
,
and
the
●inger
laid
on
,
leaves
a
pit
.
It
is
larger
when
the
terms
are
at
hand
,
and
abateth
when
they
are
past
.
If
it
come
from
a
Cachexy
,
and
a
disease
of
the
womb
,
it
is
dangerous
:
but
it
commonly
ends
by
resolution
,
or
dissolved
.
The
Cure
is
by
dry
and
hot
means
;
and
if
it
is
from
a
Cachexy
or
want
of
Terms
,
they
must
first
be
removed
:
then
use
Topicks
that
discuss
,
and
●●solv●
,
and
strengthen
,
let
them
be
but
temperately
hot
,
least
you
discuss
the
thin
,
and
leave
the
thick
,
which
will
cause
a
Scirrhus
.
Make
therefore
Fomentations
of
a
Lixivium
of
Vine
and
Colewort
ashes
,
and
Sulphur
,
or
a
Decoction
of
Hysop
,
Sage
,
Organ
,
Chamomil-flowers
.
Then
anoint
with
Oyl
of
Chamomil
,
Lillies
,
Bayes
.
Or
,
Take
Barley
flour
four
oun●●●
,
of
Lineseeds

Chamomil
flo●●●s
,
each
half

A●thaea
root●
an

Of
the
Scirrhus
of
the
Breasts
.
IT
is
a
hard
tumor
without
pain
,
from
mel●ncholy
gathered
in
the
veins
that
flows
to
the
Breast
;
or
it
is
thick
flegm
dried
.
Sometimes
both
humors
are
mixed
together
,
or
more
,
which
makes
a
bastard
Scirrhus
.
And
if
burnt
humors
abound
most
,
it
turns
to
a
Cancer
:
and
if
melancholy
be
most
,
it
is
not
a
Scirrhus
,
but
a
Cancer
.
There
are
two
signs
of
a
true
Scirrhus
,
hardness
and
want
of
pain
,
if
it
be
fixed
.
I●
is
somtimes
white
,
somtimes
black
or
blew
,
as
the
humor
is
.
If
it
be
a
bastard
Scirrhus
,
there
is
heat
and
pain
;
and
if
they
increase
,
it
turns
to
a
Cancer
,
and
the
veins
grow
blew
about
,
and
begin
to
swell
.
The
bigger
and
the
harder
it
is
,
the
more
hard
it
is
to
be
cured
.
If
hairs
grow
upon
a
Scirrhus
,
it
is
incurable
,
and
it
easily
turns
to
a
Cancer
.
After
Universals
,
and
the
Cause
is
removed
from
the
womb
,
or
the
whole
body
,
let
the
containing
cause
be
softned
,
made
thin
,
and
discussed
.
But
beware
of
two
things
.
First
,
that
the
thin
parts
be
not
discussed
by
too
hot
medicines
,
and
the
thick
left
,
for
so
it
will
be
incurable
,
and
as
hard
as
a
stone
.
Secondly
,
that
you
●erment
not
the
matter
by
moistning
Emollients
,
so
that
it
turn
to
a
Cancer
.
The
Ancients
either
used
none
,
or
a
dry●ng
or
a
moistning
Medi●ine
only
.
You
must
either
use
Moistners
and
Emollients
with
Digesters
by
turns
,
or
mixed
.
●oment
with
the
Decoction
of
Mall●ws
,
Alth●●●
,
Foenugreek
and
Lineseed
,
B●ank-ursine
,
and
Chamomil
●lowers●
Then
anoint
with
Oyl
of
sweet
Almonds
,
Chamomil
,
Hens
grease
,
Veal
marrow
,
Oyntment
of
Alth●●a
.
Or
apply
this
Cataplasm
.
Take
Alth●ea
,
Mallows
,
Brank-ursine
,
Fennel
tops
,
each
a
handful
;
boyl
them
soft
,
stamp
them
,
ad
Barley
and
Bean
flour
,
Linseed
,
pouder
of
Althaea
roots
,
Chamomil
flowers
,
each
an

.
Or
lay
on
the
great
Diachylon
Plaster
,
and
that
of
●rogs
.
Then
sprinkle
Wine
upon
a
hot
stone
,
and
let
the
Fume
be
received
.
And
apply
a
Plaster
of
Ammoniacum
dissolved
in
Vinegar
.
If
it
be
a
bastard
Scirrhus●
you
may
fear
a
Cancer
.
Then
after
Universa●s
and
bleeding
,
take
away
the
disposition
of
the
bowels
that
breeds
black
humors
.
If
you
fear
a
flux
of
humors
,
use
oyl
of
Roses
,
and
juyce
of
Plantane
;
and
if
there
be
heat
,
stir
them
first
in
a
Leaden
mortar
,
till
they
change
their
colour
,
then
add
Ceruss
,
Litharge
,
each
three
ounces
,
with
Wax
make
an
Oyntment
.

Of
the
Glandles
or
Kernels
in
the
Breasts
being
swollen
,
or
of
the
Scrofula
and
Struma
in
the
Breast
.
CElsus
saith
the
Struma
and
Scrofula
in
the
Breast
,
are
rare
.
It
is
from
a
thick
humo●
,
flegm
or
melancholy
.
Struma
is
with
pain
sometimes
,
and
and
is
like
a
Cancer
,
or
seems
to
turn
to
a
Cancer
,
but
continues
many
years
at
a
s●and●
But
let
the
cause
〈◊〉
●at
it
will
,
it
●omes
f●om
stoppage
or
disorder
of
the
terms
,
by
reason
of
the
great
consen●
of
the
womb
with
the
Breast
.
The
Glandles
or
Kernels
are
to
be
felt
,
though
not
before
,
there
is
one
great
unmoveable
tuumor
,
and
the
rest
are
small
.
It
is
hard
to
be
cured
for
two
causes
:
the
ea●thiness
of
the
matter
,
and
the
deep
lying
of
it
.
They
which
are
near
the
skin
,
are
easily
dissolved
.
After
purging
and
bleeding
,
use
Emollients
and
Discussers
that
are
strong
,
as
in
Scirrhus
.
Take
Orris
roots
three
ounces
,
boyl
them
in
Oxym●l
,
stamp
them
,
add
Turpentine
,
Oyntment
of
Althaea
,
each
three
ounces
;
Mucilage
of
Faenugreek
seed
an
ounce
.
Or
,
Take
roots
of
Althaea
two
ounces
,
Briony-roots
an
ounce
,
Orris
roots
half
an
ounce
:
boyl
them
soft
in
white
Wine
,
stamp
them
,
add
Ammoniacum
dissolved
in
Vinegar
,
and
Bdellium
dissolved
in
Wine
each
an
ounce
;
with
Pitch
and
Wax
make
a
Plaster
.
If
it
cannot
be
discussed
,
suppurate
or
cut
it
,
but
this
is
troublesom
and
dangerous
.
Chap.
7.
Of
the
Cancer
of
the
Breasts
.
HIppocrates
saith
,
That
an
occult
Cancer
is
better
not
cured
then
cured
●
for
if
cured
,
they
pr●sently
die
,
but
if
not
,
they
live
long
.
Many
women
have
lived
long
with
good
order
of
diet
having
a
Cancer
,
as
if
they
had
no
disease
,
so
saith
W●lliam
Fabricius
,
and
that
if
the
Cancer
be
not
ulcerated
,
they
may
live
forty
years
without
pain
:
and
if
you
lay
on
Emol●ients
and
Suppuraters
,
they
die
in
half
a
year
.
The
Breasts
are
spungy
and
loose
,
and
therefore
Cancers
breed
often
there
,
but
the
Cause
is
from
the
womb
,
when
they
are
of
a
hot
and
dry
constitution
with
burnt
blood
,
and
when
the
terms
st●p
,
and
then
the
humors
flie
to
the
womb
and
and
m●ke
a
Cancer
,
either
with
,
or
without
a
tu●or
as●regomg
.
A
Cancer
that
●r●seth
of
it self
,
is
hard
to
be
discerned
at
first
:
for
it
is
like
a
little
tubercle
no
bigger
then
a
pease
,
and
grows
up
by
degrees
,
and
spreads
out
roots
with
veins
about
it
.
And
when
the
skin
is
eaten
through
,
it
is
a
stinking
ulcer
,
and
the
lipps
are
hard
,
and
the
matter
black
.
It
is
hard
or
never
cured
,
because
the
black
humor
that
causeth
it
,
is
very
troublesom
,
and
hath
a
peculiar
malignity
,
which
is
fermented
,
and
made
worse
with
Emollients
and
Suppuraters
,
which
loosen
the
vessels
,
and
dilate
them
,
so
that
the
humor
flows
easier
to
the
part
,
and
the
corrupt
humors
get
easier
to
the
parts
adjacent
,
and
infect
them
.
A
Cancer
not
ulcerated
,
is
to
be
let
alone
,
by
the
counsel
of
Hippocrates
.
But
let
blood
,
and
purge
melancholy
often
.
But
use
no
Topicks
that
may
rot
or
provoke
the
part
,
but
things
that
by
experience
take
away
pain
;
as
Nightshade-water
,
Snails
boyled
and
Frogs
in
Oyl
and
with
ashes
of
Frogs
made
into
an
Oyntment
,
or
Medicines
of
Lead
.
As
,
Take
Oyl
of
Roses
two
ounces
,
juyce
of
Nightshade
berries
an
ounce
and
half
,
Ceruss
wash●d
,
Sugar

Lead

each
a

Pompholygos
half
an

mix
them
in
a
Leaden
mortar
,
till
they

Or
use
Craysi●h
ashes
,
and
the
ashes
of
the
inward
ward
rind
of
an
Ash-tree
,
or
Herb
Robert.
Arcaeus
teacheth
how
to
cut
them
out
,
and
then
burn
the
part
,
if
they
be
deep
and
ulcerated
.
But
Fabri●ius
shews
that
you
must
burn
after
to
consume
the
reliques
,
and
stop
the
blood
:
after
it
is
●lensed
;
Take
Herb
Robert

Verbascum

Moulin
,
Scabious
,
Caprifolium

,
Di●●

Mans

them
,
take
three
ounces
,
and
with
six
ounces
of
Nightshad●
water
in
●
Leaden
mortar
mix
them
.
After
cutting
out
the
root
,
purge
melancholy
often
,
and
provoke
terms
or
Haemorrhoids
,
least

return

Give

VVHen
the

are

contain
blood
to
be
turned
,
there
is
no
milk
.
They
are
stopt
by
thick
humors
,
as
the
vessels
of
the
womb
are
,
the
cause
is
the
stoppage
of
the
terms
,
or
hard
tumors
in
the
Breasts
that
stop
or
press
.
When
the
nip●le
hath
no
hole
for
the
child
to
suck
,
it
is
from

,
or
a
wound
or

There
is
little
milk
,
and
the
Breasts
pine
.
If
the
Breasts
swell
,
and
milk
cannot
be
suckt
out
,
the
fault
is
in
the
papps

the
veins

An

from
gross
humors
may
be
cured
.
If
it

Scirrhus

1.
Of
want
of
Milk
,
and
not
giving
of
suck
.
THERE
are
many
C●uses
of
want
of
milk
,
either
there
is
little
blood
to
breed
it
,
or
the
milk
making
faculty
in
the
breast
that
makes
milk
,
is
not
right
,
or
the
instruments
for
blood-making
are
distempered
.
Somtimes
the
matter
is
consumed
by
a
s●aver
or
fasting
,
when
they
loath
meat
,
or
from
care
or
labour
,
evacuations
,
sweats
,
or
loose
belly
.
Or
from
weakness
of
the
infant
that
cannot
draw
hard
.
Also
sadness
,
fear
,
and
the
like
,
may
hinder
blood
from
flowing
to
the
breasts
.
Milk
is
wanting
when
the
breasts
are
flaggie
,
and
swell
not
,
and
little
milk
is
sucked
out
.
The
signs
of
the
causes
,
thus
If
it
be
from
the
liver
,
there
will
be
signs
of
its
distemper
:
if
from
great
eva●uation
,
that
is
known
:
the
fault
is
known
to
be
in
the
breasts
,
if
as
oft
as
they
lie
in
,
they
have
no
milk
and
the
breasts
are
●●●al
and
wrinkled
;
or
if
Medicines
to
keep
down
the
breasts
,
have
been
applied
,
she
will
tell
you
:
or
if
it
be
from
weakness
of
the
child
or
passions
of
mind
.
The
inconvenience
is
little
to
the
Nurse
,
but
g●eat
to
the
child
;
therefore
get
another
Nurse
,
or
●ure
her
.
To
breed
milk
,
give
t●●ngs
that
breed
much
and
good
blood
,
of
easie
concoction
.
Medicines
to
b●eed

,
are

,
and

1.
Of
the
choice
of
the
Nurse
.
THE
blood
that
nourished
the
child
in
the
womb
,
is
turned
into
milk
to
nourish
him
after
he
is
born
,
because
he
can
eat
no
solid
meats
.
And
becau●e
from
weakn●ss
or
a
disease
,
the
mother
somtimes
cānot
suckle
her
child
,
she
must
have
a
Nurse
of
good
habit
of
body
,
and
red
complexion
,
which
is
the
sign
of
the
best
temper
;
and
let
her
not
differ
much
from
the
temper
of
the
mother
,
unless
it
be
for
the
better
:
let
her
be
between
twenty
and
thi●ty
,
well
b●ed
,
and
peaceable
,
not
angry
,
melancholy
,
or
soolish
,
not
lecherous
,
nor
a
drunkard
.
Let
it
not
be
after
her
first
child
,
and
let
not
her
milk
be
too
old
or
too
new●
o●
ten
months
old
at
the
most
.
Let
her
breasts
be
well
fashioned
with
go●d
Nipples
,
that
the
child
may
take
them
with
pleasure
.
Let
her
keep
a
good
diet
,
and
abstain
srō
hard
wine
and
copulation
,
and
passions
:
these
chiefly
trouble
the
milk
,
and
bring
diseases
upon
the
child
.
If
there
be
a
bad
humor
from
high
●eeding
in
the
Nurse
,
let
her
take
a
gentle
Purge
when
she
gives
not
suck
,
except
the
child
be
to
be
purged
by
the
same
.
Question
.
Whether
is
an
Infant
better
nourished
by
the
Mother
or
by
a
Nurse
?
Some
say
by
a
Nurse
:
others
say
the
Mothers
milk
is
more
like
the
nour●shment
it
had
in
the
womb
,
which
is
best
,
except
she
have
a
disease
.
For
he
that
gave
her
strength
to
conceive
,
travel
,
and
bring
forth
,
wil
give
her
strength
to
play
the
Nurse
,
though
she
be
weak
.
And
honest
women
will
be
very
obedient
to
directions
,
for
the
good
of
the
child
they
love
so
dea●ly
:

It
is
from

and
drink
,
or
from
a
hot
and
dry
distemper
in
the
breasts
,
that
burns
up
the
thin

.
Give
flesh
of
good
juyce
,
and
easie
concoction
,
as
Chickens
,
Kid
,
Veal
,
abstain
from
gross

use

let

be
evacuated
.
Of

There
are
divers
tasts
,
scents

in
milk
from
variety
of

.
Therefore
let
a
Nurse
take
heed
of
fryed
Onions
,
and
all
four
,
salt
and
spiced
meats
:
and
let
her
eat
Sallets

Let

Milk
also
is
somtimes
falt

sharp

cholerick

This
breeds

diseases
,
as
wringing

Correct

Good
Wine

,
inflammation
of

At

the
gums
itch
,
and
there
are
Feavers
and
Convulsions
,
and
a
loose
belly
when
they
breed
the
eye-teeth
.
When
they
are
older
,
the

THey
a●e
subject
to
all
sorts
of
Feavers
,
but
they
have
chiefly
a
Feaver
from
milk
which
putri●ies
,
and
turns
to
choler
,
and
inflames
the
humors
.
And
when
the
teeth
break
forth
,
the
gums
are
inflamed
,
they
have
watching
and
itching
p●in
in
the
mouth
,
and
then
feavers
.
When
feavers
come
from
corrupt
milk
,
they
expel
no
teeth
,
and
there
are
signs
of
corrupt
milk●
bellyach
,
many
stools
yellow
and
green
.
A
●eaver
from
breeding
of
teeth
,
hath
its
proper
sig●s
.
These
feavers
cease
when
the
cause
is
removed
,
but
if
corrupt
milk
last
long
,
it
is
dangerous
.
A
●eaver
from
corrupt
milk
is
commonly
from
choler
;
therefore
give
cold
moist
things
to
the
Nurse
,
as
Lettice

Endive
,
Emulsions
of
the

Of
Meazles
and

There
are
Epidemical
feavers
at
certain
times
that
cast
out
Meazles
and
small
Pox
,
of
whic●
before
.
The
cause
is
not
only
from
the
impurity
of
the
terms
,
but
from
the
malignity
of
the
air
,
for
they
are
more
or
less
,
as
the
air
is
purer
or
impurer
.
Somtimes
it
is
infectious
,
and
the
humors
are
so
co●rupt
,
that
worms
breed
under
the
scabs
and
corrode
the
bones
and
internal
parts
,
as
hath
been
seen
in
bodies
opened
,
dead
of
this
disease
.
If
the
disease
be
very
infectious
,
before
there
is
a
●eaver
,
it
is
good
to
preserve
by
change
of
air
and
Antidotes
,
when
many
die
of
it
,
but
when
few
die
,
it
is
not
amiss
to
let
them
alone
,
lea●●
they
have
it
in
a
more
dangerous
time
,
for
most
will
have
it
:
only
give
a
gentle
Purge
,
and
●ortifie
Nature
,
that
she
may
better
expel
them
.
If
there
be
a
●eaver
,
use
no
more
Preservatives
,

labour
to
get
them

The

think
they
are
healthful

they

Of
a
scald
Head.
IF
Achores
or
Favi
last
long
,
or
are
ill
cured
.
They
turn
to
a
Scald
,
which
is
a
scabby
ulcer
that
corrodes
the
skin
,
and
stinks
;
it
is
called
Tin●a
or
Moth
which
eats
garments●
as
this
doth
the
flesh
,
Achores
are
moist
ulcers
in
the
head
and
body
,
Tinea
is
a
dry
ulcer
in
the
head
only
.
The
immediate
cause
is
a
salt

sharp
humor
,
melancholick
from

,
it
infecteth
others

Some
are
like

,
yellow

ash
coloured
,
that
run
little
,
and
that
which
is
voided
stinketh
.
It
is
hard
to
be
cured
.
If
it
be
new
,
or
the
matter
yellow
,

it
is
easier

An

Scald
ash-coloured

the

First
take

Ptiriasis
or
breeding
of
Lice
.
LIce
are
creatures
which
breed
in
clothes
that
are
constantly
worn
,
but
they
are
chiefly
in
children
from
the
excrements
of
the
head
.
All
say
,
that
filth
and
nastiness
alone
is
the
cause
of
lice
,
but
I
think
not
so
,
for
filth
alone
cannot
do
it
without
heat
,
for
besides
the
first
qualities
there
is
a
hidden
force
in
the
matter
by
which
it
is
disposed
to
produce
a
particular
species
;
for
fleas
and
worms
wil
not
breed
of
that
matter
which
breeds
lice
,
so
it
is
in
Plants
.
Heat
is
the
helping
cause
which
raiseth
the
seminal
force
,
and
brings
it
into
act
,
and
though
the
matter
be
putrid
it
doth
not
wo●k
upon
it
,
but
as
it
is
somwhat
natural
.
Excrements
are
not
presently
putrid
,
but
there
is
in
them
a
heat
that
can
raise
forming
force
,
and
though
there
is
some
putrefaction
,
yet
is
it
not
so
great
as
to
hinder
the
action
,
hence
it
is
that
children
and
women
that
are
hot
and
moist
have
many
excrements
that
are
fit
to
breed
lice
.
Some
meats
breed
lice
,
as
Figs
by
their
fat
juyce
which
doth
naturally
tend
to
the
skin
,
and
varieties
of
meats
,
and
not
clensing
nor
combeing
The
pl●ce
where
lice
breed
in
children
is
the
skin
of
the
head
,
where
they
stick
fast
with
the
hair
,
especially
if
there
be
scabs
.
The
Signs
are
needless
,
they
are
manifest
.
It
is
a
filthy
troublesom
disease
,
many
have
them
●reed
all
over
the
body
,
and
some
have
died
by
them
.
Somtimes
the
lice
leave
them
when
they
are
about
to
die
.
To
prevent
breeding
lice
,
let
children
eat
no
food
of
evil
juyce
,
especially
Figs
,
let
the
head
be
often
combed
and
washed
,
and
the
matter
purged
that
breeds
them
,
with
hot
dry
thin
medicines
,
that
draw
the
matter
out
and
consume
superfluous
moisture
.
Take
heed
of
Mercury
and
Arsnick
in
children
but
make
this
Lotion
Take
round
Birthwort
,
Lupines
,
Pine
and
Cypress
leaves
,
each
equal
parts
;
boyl
them
.
Or
,
Take
Elicampane
roots
two
ounces
,
Briony
half
an
ounce
,
Beets
,
Mercury
,
Soap-wort
,
each
a
handful
;
Lupines
a
dram
,
Niter
half
an
ounce
,
boyl
them
for
a
Lotion
.
then
use
this
oyntment
.
Take
pouder
of
Staphisacre
three
drams
,
of
Lupins
half
an
ounce
,
Agarick
two
drams
,
quick
S●lphur
a
dram
and
half
,
Ox
gall
half
an
ounce
with
●yl
of
Wormwood
:
there
are
stronger
,
as
white
Hellebore
and
Mecrury
,
which
are
not
safe
.

Of
Hydrocephalus
or
swelling
of
the
Head.
WE
spake
of
this
in
the
water
wi●hout
the
Skull
:
but
Hydrocephalus
is
from
wat●r
gathered
within
the
skull
or
in
the
ventricle●
of
the
brain
,
as
when
the
childs
head
in
the
womb
hangs
down
,
or
when
the
brain
is
ver●
moist
.
A
tumor
from
water
contained
in
the
brain
is
less
and
harder
then
when
it
is
out
of
the
skull
.
It
is
harder
to
be
cured
then
when
it
is
gathered
without
the
skull
,
and
is
often
deadly
.
There
are
many
medicines
mentioned
that
are
good
here
,
to
be
used
outwardly
,
and
to
the
nose
and
ears
.
As
,
Take
Snails
in
their
shells
thirty
,
Marjoram
,
Mugw●rt
,
each
a
handful
;
stamp
,
add
Camphire
a
scruple
,
Saffron
half
a
dram
,
with
Oyl
of
Chamomil
make
a
Pultis
.
Snuff
this
Water
often
.
Take
Nutmeg
,
Cloves
,
C●bebs
,
each
●
s●ruple
;
Calamus
,
Frankincense
bark
,
each
half
●
dram
;
Marjoram
water
three
ounces
,
drop
hot
Oyls
into
the
ear●
.
If
in
twenty
daies
the
water
be
not
gone
,
open
the
skull
,
and
let
out
the
water
by
degrees
,
and
take
heed
of
cold
.
The
tumor
of
wind
in
the
skin
of
the
head
or
membranes
of
the
brain
,
is
seldom
without
water
which
breeds
wind
.
Use
Discussers
that
make
thin
,
as
Chamomil
,
Rue
,
Organ
,
&c.
Chap.
7.
Of
Siriasis
.
IT
is
from
Aetius
,
a
di●ease
with
a
●eaver
,
or
an
inflammation
of
the
membrane●
and
the
brain
,
so
that
there
is
a
hollowness
of
the
eyes
and
forhead
.
It
is
from
flegmatick
blood
that
grows
hot
by
putrefaction
,
and
so
becomes
like
choler
.
The
remote
causes
are
hot
weather
,
and
milk
full
of
wind
,
from
the
evil
diet
of
the
Nurse
.
Such
milk
will
make
the
child
drunk
,
and
cause
this
inflamation
.
Heat
of
the
forehead
,
and
hollowness
there
,
redness
of
face
,
a
●eaver
,
driness
,
no
appetite
,
watching
.
The
hollowness
in
the
●ore-part
of
the
head
,
is
where
the
Sagital
and
Coronal
●utures
meet
,
for
there
the
bones
are
membranous
,
and
grow
at
last
hard
.
It
is
dangerous
,
and
counted
deadly
among
women
,
and
as
often
as
this
bone
o●
membrane
●als
,
there
is
a
pit
,
and
the
brain
fals
down
,
they
commonly
die
in
three
daies
.
First
,
give
a
Clyster
,
of
syrup
of
Roses
or
Violets
,
then
Coolers
,
of
the
juyce
and
water
of
Lettice
,
Gourds
,
Melons
;
or
apply
a
Pumpion
split
in
two
.
But
cool
not
the
brain
too
much
,
anoint
with
Oyl
of
Roses
.
Or
,
Take
Oyl
of
Roses
half
an
ounce
,
Populeon
an
ounce
,
the
white
of
an
Eg
,
and
of
the
Emulsion
of
cold
Seeds
drawn
with
Rose
water
two
drams
.
After
the
flux
is
stopt
,
and
the
inflammation
abated
,
use
Discussers
.
As
,
Take
Oyl
of
Chamomil
an
ounce
and
half
,
of
Dill
half
an
ounce
,
with
the
yolk
of
an
Eg.
Let
the
Nurses
diet
be
cooling
,
or
the
milk
be
changed
:
let
it
not
be
vexed
.
Chap.
8.
Of
Frights
in
the
Sleep
.
HIppocrates
saith
this
is
often
;
the
cause
is
unclean
vapors
mixed
with
the
animal
spirits
that
disturbe
them
,
and
present
horrible
objects
to
the
fancy
.
They
arise
from
the
depraved
concoction
of
the
stomach
,
in
full
feeding
children
,
that
eat
more
then
they
can
digest
.
These
vapors
ascend
not
onely
by
the
wea●and
,
but
by
the
veins
to
the
head
.
It
comes
often
from
wor●s
also
,
or
corrupt
humors
that
knaw
the
mouth
o●
the
stomach
.
They
groan
in
their
sleep●
and
twitch
,
and
b●ing
frighted
out
of
sleep
,
they
cry
,
their
breath
is
hot
,
and
often
s●inking
.
●ure
it
presen●ly
,
for
i●
is
the
●ore-run●er
of
an
Epilep●●●
.
Give
good
Milk
and
le●s
,
th●t
the
stomach
be
not
over
charged
.
Let
it
not
sleep
presently
after
food
,
but
carry
it
about
,
till
it
is
in
the
bottom
of
the
stomach
.
Use
Oyl
of
sweet
Almonds
or
Honey
of
Roses
two
spoonfuls
to
clense
the
stomach
.
Then
strengthen
it
with
Magistery
of
Coral
,
or
Con●ection
of
Hyacinths
with
Milk.
Or
,
Take
Magistery
of
Coral
a
dram
,
Diapleres
a
scruple
,
with
Sugar
dissolved
in
Rose
water
an
ounce
m●ke
Rou●s
.
Anoint
the
stomach
with
Oyl
of
Nard
,
Wormwood
,
Mints
,
Mastich
,
N●tmegs
.
If
it
be
from
a
feaver
,
look
to
that
.
If
from
wo●ms
,
I
shal
after
speak
of
it
.
Some
hang
Coral
and
Wolves
teeth
about
the
childs
neck
.
Chap.
9.
Of
great
Wat●hing
.
A
Child
new
born
sleeps
more
then
he
wakes
,
because
his
brain
is
very
moist
,
and
he
used
to
sleep
in
the
womb
.
If
you
cannot
make
him
sleep
by
singing
nor
rocking
,
no●
the
like
,
it
is
a
disease
.
Are
dive●s
in
m●n
and
children
:
in
these
it
is
from
milk
corrupt
in
the
stomach
,
from
which
sharp
humors
arise
,
and
disturbe
the
animal
Spirits
,
and
infect
them
;
and
if
there
be
sad
fancies
,
frights
●ollow
,
of
which
before
.
If
it
cries
alwaies
,
and
cannot
by
any
art
be
made
to
sleep
,
it
is
a
sign
of
a
disea●e
of
watching
which
is
dangerous
,
because
children
use
to
sleep
much
.
And
hence
come
Cata●rhs
,
Convulsions
,
Driness
and
Feavers
.
The
bad
milk
mus●
be
amended
,
and
the
cor●upt
meat
prevented
.
If
it
be
from
a
feaver
or
pain
,
●emove
them
.
Galen
adviseth
you
of●en
to
change
the
bed
and
place
.
Sleeping
Medicines
are
not
safe
,
but
hurt
,
but
are
rather
to
be
given
the
Nurse
moderately
,
as
sweet
Almonds
,
Lettice
,
Poppy
seeds
.
Wash
the
feet
with
Decoction
of
Dill
tops
,
Chamomil
flowers
,
Sage
,
O●iers
,
Vi●e
leaves
,
Poppy
heads
.
Cool
not
the
head
too
much
,
nor
use
Narcoticks
.
These
are
sa●e
,
Oyl
of
Dill
to
the

,
Oyl
of
Roses
,
with
Oyl
of
Nutmegs
,
with
Poppy

,
Breast-milk
,
Rose
or
Nightshade

with
Saffron

In
great
driness
of
the

,
let
the
cove●ing

wet
.

Of
Epilepsie
and
Convulsion
.
IT
is
either
by
consent
from
parts
below
,
when
the
milk
corrupts
in
the
stomach
,
or
from
an
ill
quality
in
it
from
the
Nurses
bad
diet
,
or
from
worms
in
the
guts
,
or
from
vapors
,
from
bad
humors
that
twitch
the
membranes
of
the
brain
,
as
in
the
Meazles
and
●mall
Pox.
It
is
somtimes
from
the
brain
first
,
as
when
the
humors
are
bred
in
the
brain
that
cause
it
,
either
from
the
parents
,
or
from
distemper
,
or
bad
diet
.
It
may
come
from
toothach
also
,
when
the
brain
consents
,
and
from
a
sudden
fright
.
It
is
manifest
.
You
shall
know
by
the
signs
of
the
diseases
,
whether
it
comes
from
bad
milk
,
worms
or
teeth
.
If
from
a
fright
,
the
people
wil
tell
you
.
If
these
all
are
absent
,
it
is
certain
that
the
brain
is
first
affected
.
It
is
a
great
disease
,
and
kills
for
the
most
part
young
children
.
But
when
in
older
,
and
it
comes
at
a
distance
,
it
vanisheth
by
age
.
If
it
come
with
Pox
or
Meazles
,
it
ceaseth
when
they
come
forth
if
Nature
be
strong
enough
.
Give
this
Pouder
to
prevent
it
,
to
a
child
as
soon
a●
it
is
born
.
Take
male
Piony
roots
gathered
in
the
decrease
of
the
Moon
a
scruple
,
Magistery
of
Coral
half
a
scruple
,
with
Leaf-gold
make
a
Pouder
.
Or
,
Take
Piony
roots
a
dram
,
Piony
seeds
,
Mis●eto
of
the
O●k
,
E●kes
hoof
,
Mans
skull
,
Amber
,
each
a
scruple
;
Musk
two
grains
,
make
a
Pouder
.
The
Florentines
burn
behind
in
the
head
to
dry
the
brain
,
and
Celsus
saith
it
is
the
last
Remedy
.
Aegineta
saith
that
children
cannot
endure
such
cruelty
,
for
the
pain
and
watching
would
kill
them
.
See
Sylvaticu●
.
The
best
part
of
the
cure
is
in
the
Nurses
diet●
which
must
not
be
disordered
.
If
it
be
from
co●rupt
milk
,
provoke
vomit
,
thus
;
hold
down
the
tongue
,
and
put
a
quill
dipt
in
sweet
Almonds
down
the
throat
.
If
it
come
from
worms
,
give
things
that
kill
worms
,
with
Piony
roots
,
and
the
like
.
If
there
be
a
feaver
,
respect
that
also
.
Give
Coral
,
Smaradgs
,
and
Elkes
hoof
.
In
the
●it
give
Epileptick
water
,
as
Lavender-water
,
and
rub
with
the
Oyl
of
Amber
,
or
hang
a
Piony
root
,
Elkes
hoof
,
or
Smaragd
about
the
ne●k
.
Of
a
Convulsion
.
This
is
when
the
brain
labo●s
to
cast
out
what
troubles
it
.
The
matter
is
in
the
marrow
of
the
●ack
,
and
fountain
of
the
nerves
.
It
is
a
●●●bborn
disease
,
and
often
kills
.
In
the
●it
wash
the
body
,
especially
the
backbone
with
decoction
of
Althaea
,
Lilly
roots
,
Piony
,
Chamomil
flowers
.
And
anoint
with
Mans
and
Goose
grease
,
Oyl
of
Worms
,
Orris
,
Lillies
,
Foxes
,
Turpentine
,

they
still

If
it
come

Chap.
12.
Of
pain
in
the
Ears
,
Inflammation
,
Moisture
,
Ulcers
,
and
Worms
.
OF
these
in
the
first
Book
.
But
here
we
shal
speak
of
in●ants●
the
brain
in
them
is
very
moist
,
and
hath
many
excrements
which
Nature
cannot
send
out
at
its
proper
p●ssages
;
these
get
often
to
the
ears
,
and
cause
pain
,
and
flux
of
blood
,
with
inflammation
and
matter
with
●ain
.
In
children
pain
and
inflammation
are
hard
to
be
k●own
,
they
cannot
relate
it
,
only
it
is
k●own
by
constant
crying
,
and
feeling
their
ears
,
and
will
not
let
others
touch
them
;
sometimes
the
parts
about
the
ears
are
red
.
It
is
dangerous
,
because
it
brings
watching
,
and
Epilepsie
:
the
moisture
breeds
worms
there
,
and
fouls
the
spungy
bones
,
and
at
length
deafness
incu●able
.
Presently
allay
the
pain
,
but
children
must
not
have
strong
remedies
.
Only
use
warm
milk
about
the
ears
,
Oyl
of
Violets
,
or
the
Decoction
of
Poppy
tops
.
To
take
away
moisture
,
use
Honey
of
Roses
,
and
Aqua
Mellis
,
to
be
dropt
into
the
ears
.
Or
,
Take
Virgins
Honey
half
an
ounce
,
red
Wine
two
ounces
,
Allum
,
Saffron
,
Salt-peter
,
each
a
dram
;
mix
them
at
the
fire
.
Or
drop
in
Hemp
seed
Oyl
,
with
a
little
Wine
.

Of
Breeding
of
Teeth
.
THis
is
a
necessary
evil
in
all
children
,
and
very
great
by
reason
of
the
variety
of
symptoms
joyned
with
it
.
It
is
about
the
seventh
month
,
first
the
fore-teeth
,
then
the
eye-teeth
,
and
last
of
all
the
grinders●
First
they
feel
an
itching
in
their
gums
,
then
they
are
pierced
as
with
a
needle
,
and
pricked
by
the
sharp
bones
,
whence
is
great
pain
,
watching
and
inflamation
of
gums
,
feaver
,
loosness
and
convulsions
,
especially
when
they
breed
their
eye-teeth
.
First
,
it
is
known
by
the
usual
time
,
as
the
●eginning
of
the
seventh
month
.
Also
they
put
their
●ingers
in
their
mouths
to
allay
pain
.
3.
They
hold
the
nipple
faster
then
before
.
4.
The
gum
is
white
where
the
tooth
begins
to
come
,
and
there
are
divers
Symptomes
mentioned
before
.
The
feaver
that
follows
breeding
of
teeth
,
comes
from
cholerick
humors
inflamed
by
watching
,
pain
and
heat
.
The
longer
teeth
are
breeding
the
greater
the
danger
,
so
that
many
die
of
feavers
or
convulsions
.
They
are
best
that
have
their
belly
loose
:
These
have
no
convuision
,
&
a
feaver
consumes
the
humo●s
.
Hard
breeding
of
teeth
is
from
thickness
of
the
gums
;
therefore
molli●ie
and
loosen
them
,
rub
them
with
the
finger
dipt
in
Butter
and
Honey
,
or
a
Virgin
Wax
Candle
is
to
be
chewed
upon
.
Or
anoint
with
●ucilage
of
Quinces
made
with
Mallow
water
,
or
with
the
brains
of
a
Hare
.
Foment
the
cheek
with
the
Decoction
of
Althaea
and
Chamomil
flowers
,
and
Dill
,
or
with
juyce
of
Mallows
,
and
f●esh
Butter
.
If
the
gu●s
are
inflamed
,
add
juyce
of
Nightshade
and
Lettice
.
Let
the
Nurse
keep
a
temperate
diet
inclining
to
cold
,
as
Barley
broaths
,
or
Watergrewel
,
rear
Eggs
,
Prunes
,
Lettice
,
Endive
.
Avoid
sal●
,
sharp
,
biting
and
peppered
meats
,
and
Wine
.

Of
Loosing
of
the
Tongue
,
and
of
the
Frog
.
WHen
the
tongue
is
tied
,
they
cannot
freely
suck
.
This
must
be
done
by
skilful
Artists
;
or
use
this
Liniment
.
Take
clarified
Honey
,
and
boyl
it
gently
till
it
may

.
Then
Take
yolks
of

burnt
Allum
six

The
Frog
is
when
the
veins
under

tongue
,
are
filled
with
bad
blood
;
and
if
flegm
sweat
out
,
and
stick
in
the
passages
,
there
is
a
tumor
like
Mushrooms
which
causeth
stamering
.
It
is
cured
thus
:
Take
Cuttlebone
,
Sal
gem
,
Pepper
,
each
a
dram
;
burnt
Spunge
three
drams
,
make
a
Pouder
,
or

Of
Catarrh
,
Cough
and
difficult
Breathing
.
WEE
have
spoken
of
these
before
,
but
because
Hippocrates
reckons
them
in
Childrens
diseases
,
I
shall
touch
upon
them
.
The
general
Cause
of
a
Catarrh
in
a
child
,
is
a
moist
brain
,
and
much
milk
that
burdens
the
stomach
,
from
whence
many
vapors
fil
the
brain
;
and
if
the
brain
be
full
of
excrements
,
it
is
easily
dissolved
or
melted
,
either
by
heat
or
cold
,
and
goes
to
the
nose
,
●●ws
or
lungs
,
which
cause
a
cough
or
Asthma
.
Moreover
much
food
makes
crudities
in
the
first
passages
,
and
flegmatick
blood
is
bred
of
crudity
and
thick
chyle
in
the
liver
.
This
is
sent
by
the
ar●erial
vein
into
the
lungs
,
and
pr●ssing
the
Bronchia
or
pipes
of
the
lungs
,
causeth
difficult
breathing
and
Asthma
.
It
is
known
to
be
from
a
hot
humor
,
if
it
be
thin
,
they
often
neese
,
the
face
is
red
,
and
the
jaws
;
the
breath
is
short
,
and
the
Nurse
●inds
it
in
her
nipples
.
If
difficulty
of
breathing
come
from
the
head
,
there
will
be
a
cough
and
snorting
in
breathing
,
and
a
noise
in
the
lungs
,
when
the
air
passeth
not
freely
through
them
.
If
it
come
from
the
parts
below
,
there
is
neither
C●tarrh
nor
cough
,
but
hardness
about
the
Liver
,
and
a
tumor
.
In
children
a
great
Catarrh
with
short
breath
is
hard
to
be
cured
,
because
they
cannot
take
Physick
.
First
,
let
it
and
the
Nurse
keep
a
good
diet
,
fil
not
the
stomach
with
milk
nor
other
diet
;
but
let
the
Nurse
forbear
sharp
,
salt
,
peppered
,
●our
things
,
and
things
that
fill
the
head
with
vapors
.
And
give
her
a
Pectoral
Decoction
:
Take
Figs
,
●ujubes
,
each
ten
;
Sebestens
thirty
,
Raisons
stoned
●en
drams
,
Liquorish
two
drams
,
Maidenhair
,
Hysop
,
Violets
,
each
half
an
ounce
:
boyl
them
in
three
pints
of
Water
,
to
the
consumption
of
the
third
part
.
Let
her
take
six
ounces
every
morning
.
Keep
the
belly
open
with
Syrup
of
Roses
,
or
Cassia
,
or
a
Clyster
;
with
oyl
of
sweet
Almonds
with
Sugar
candy
,
or
juyce
of
Fennel
,
with
Milk
,
or
hold
down
the
tongue
,
and
provoke
Vomiting
.
Give
Syrup
of
Jujubes
,
Maidenhair
.
If
the
matter
be
thick
,
give
Syrup
of
Hysop
,
or
Horehound
,
or
an
Emulsion
of
oyl
of
sweet
Almonds
,
Pine-nuts
,
Scabious
water
.
Or
give
a
Lohoch
of
Diaireos
,
Diatragacanth
frigid
,
Pe●idies
,
with
Syrup
of
Jujubes
.
If
it
be
hot
give
Emulsions
of
the
●our
great
cold
Seeds
,
with
Mallows
,
Pellitory
,
with
Diatragacanth
frigid
.
To
dry
up
the
matter
,
lay
outwardly
a
stuph
of
Hemp
hot
,
and
sprinkled
with
pouder
of
red
Roses
and
Frankincense
.
Apply
Basil
and
Marjoram
to
the
nose
,
to
make
it
sneese
.

Of
the
Hickets
.
IT
comes
from
corruption
of
the
food
in
the
stomach
,
or
from
milk
●illing
it
,
or
from
cold
〈◊〉
these
hurt
the
expulsive
faculty
,
and
it
is
●●●rred
up
to
expel
what
is
hurtful
.
If
i●
come
from
re●letion
of
milk
,
the
belly
swells
,
and
there
is
vomiting
after
.
If
from
corruption
of
milk
,
the
Nurse
hath
bad
milk
:
the
child
cries
,
and
is
pained
,
and
the
excrements
s●n●●l
of
stinking
milk
.
Hi●kets
is
commonly
not
dangerous
in
children
,
and
cease
when
the
cause
is
taken
away
.
I●
it
be
from
a
vehement
cause
,
and
goes
to
the
nerves
,
there
follows
a
Convulsion
,
or
Epilepsie
,
and
death
.
That
from
corruption
of
nourishment
is
cured
by
vomit
,
with
a
feather
dipt
in
Oyl
,
to
tickle
the
throat
;
then
strengthen
the
stomach
with
hot
things
.
As
Syrup
of
Mints
,
Bettony
,
and
soment
it
with
Decoction
of
Mints
,
Organ
,
Wo●mwood
;
then
anoint
with
Oyl
of

,
Mastich

Dill.
Or
,
Take
Mastich
an

Frankincense
,
Dill
seed

each
two
drams
;
Cummin
seed
a
dram
,
with
juyce
of
Mints
and
Flax
apply
them
to
the
stomach
.
There
is
a
disease
like
the
Hi●kets
in
children
from
anger
or
grief
,
when
the
Spirits
are
much
sti●red
,
and
run
from
the
heart
to
the
Diaphragma
forceably
,
and
hinder
or
stop
the
breath
Somtimes
they
have
a
shril
voice
,
the
Spirits
suddenly
breaking
forth
,
but
when
the
passion
ceaseth
,
this
Symptom
ceaseth
.

Of

IT
is
from
too
much
milk

bad
milk
,
or
f●om
fl●gm
that
fals
from
the
head
to
the
stomach
,
but
this
is
seldom
in
children
.
It
is
of●en
from
a
moist
loose
stomach
,
for
as
driness
retains
,
so
loosness
le
ts
go
.
If
it
be
from
much
milk
,
they
are
better
after
vomiting
.
If
it
be
from
corruption
of
milk
,
that
which
is
vomited
is
yellow
,
green
,
or
otherwise
ill
coloured
,
and
stinking
:
worms
are
known
by
their
signs
.
It
is
for
the
most
part
without
danger
in
children
,
and
they
that
vomit
from
their
birth
,
are
the
lustiest
,
for
the
stomach
being
not
used
to
meat
,
and
milk
being
taken
too
much
,
oftentimes
crudities
are
easily
bred
,
or
the
milk
is
corrupted
,
and
it
is
better
to
vomit
these
up
,
then
keep
them
in
.
If
Vomiting
last
long
,
it
causeth
A●rophy
.
When
it
is
from
too
much
milk●
give
it
less
:
if
it
be
from
corrupt
milk
,
amend
it
,
as
I
shewed
.
Clense
the

IT
is
often

alone
that
breeds
wind
and
sharp
humors
.
When
it
is
corrupted
,
it
gets
to
the
guts
,
and
causeth
a
gnawing
pain
:
worms
staying
in
the
guts
,
do
the

.
They
cry

Of
the
Worms
.
IT
is
observed
that
children
have
had
worms
in
their
mothers
belly
,
and
voided
them
after
they
were
born
.
But
they
are
chiefly
bred
by
mixing
milk
with
other
meats
in
a
hot
and
moist
constitution
,
and
from
sweet
meats
which
wo●ms
love
;
and
Summer-fruits
:
they
are
round
and
long
,
or
broad
and
little
.

what
is
said
in

Worms
are
known
to
be
in
a
body
,
when
there
is
much
spittle
,
and
a
stinking
breath
,
troublesom
sleep
,
gnashing
of
teeth
,
crying
and
bawling
;
a
dry
cough
,
loathing
,
vomiting
,
hickets
,
want
of
appetite
,
or
too
much
,
thirst
,
a
belly
swelled
,
or
bound
,
or
too
loose
,
thick
white
urin
with
pain
,
when
the
belly
is
empty
,
and
the
worms
want
food
.
There
is
a
cold
sweat
over
the
face
,
and
a
high
colour
,
with
sudden
paleness
;
sometimes
a
feaver
and
convulsion
which
ceaseth
presently
.
These
are
the
signs
of
round
worms
rather
then
of
the
flat
.
Infants
are
often
long
troubled
with
worms
without
any
great
inconvenience
,
sometimes
there
are
great
Symptomes
.
The
long
round
worms
are
worst
,
and
have
eaten
sometimes
the
guts
and
belly
through
,
with
a
feaver
they
are
more
dangerous
:
few
are
better
then
many
,
and
small
then
great
,
white
are
better
then
those
of
other
colours
.
The
other
Prognosticks
are
mentioned
in
other
places
.
Preservation
.
It
is
better
to

The
tumor
is
visible
:
if
it

If

it
is
even

and
there
was
no

Rupture

It
is
easier
cured
in
infants
then
in

it
is
safer
,
but
worse
then
that

water
which
goes
away
of
it self
when
the

is
consumed
.
Let
the
belly
be
kept
open

Of
sticking
out
of
the
Navel
.
IT
is
without
inflammation
.
1.
When
it
was
not
well
tied
,
and
too
much
left
that
sticks
out
.
2.
When
the
Peritonaeum
is
loose
,
and
hath
water
or
wind
in
it
,
from
crying
or
coughing
.
3.
When
the
navel
is
ulcerated
,
and
the
guts
fall
into
it
:
this
is
called
properly
Exomphalon
.
The
navel
yeilds
to
the
touch
,
but
in
an
inflamation
,
it
is
hard
;
there
is
neither
heat
nor
redness●
and
it
lasts
longer
then
an
inflammation
.
If
the
navel
was
not
wel
cu●
,
there
wil
be
too
great
a
quantity
,
if
the
Peritonaeum
be
not
broken
,
but
loose
,
the
navel
starts
not
much
out
,
and
is
not
greater
by
crying
;
if
it
be
broken
,
the
tu●or
scarce
appears
when
he
lies
upon
his
back
,
but
it
increaseth
by
crying
or
walking
.
If
the
Midwi●e
did
not
cut
the
navel
wel
,
it
is
more
troublesom
then
dangerous
.
If
it
be
too
large
or
ulcerated
,
at
first
it
is
easily
cured
,
but
afterwards
it
may
cause
a
deadly
ilia●k
passion
,
when
the
guts
that
fall
in
,
are
inflamed
.
When
the
Peritonaeum
is
loose
,
wind
stretcheth
the
navel
;
then
use
a
Cataplasm
of
Cummin

Then
lay

If
the
Peritonaeum
be
broken

first
put

Of
the
Stone
in
the
Bladder
.
THe
stone
in
the
bladder
is
usual
in
infants
,
as
that
of
the
kidnies
is
in
elder
people
.
How
it
is
cured
,
we
shewed
before●
In
infants
it
is
from
gross
unclean
milk
made
of
tough
meats
,
this
too
much
taken
in
,
causeth
crudities
sit
to
breed
the
stone
,
●r
pap
of
Barley
meal
and
milk
may
cause
it
.
There
is
al●o
a
weakne●s
in
the
liver
and
stomach
,
when
they
do
not
separate
unprofitable
food
,
but
much
earthy
juyce
remains
in
the
chyle
that
breeds
stones
.
Also
a
ho●
distemper
in
the
reins
,
by
which
the
chyle
is
drawn
to
the
bladder
,
and
if
there
be
a
native
hereditary
disposition
to
breed
the
stone
,
an
earthy
part
is
in
the
humor
,
which
makes
the
urine
thick●
this
is
in
bigger
Boys
more
then
in
infants
They
piss
by
drops
,
with
itching
and
pain
,
the
Urin
is
stopt
often
,
and
tha●
which
is
pissed
is
like
cleer
wa●er
white
,
or
like
milk
or
whey
,
somtimes
blood
is
pissed
,
and
the
yard
often
stands
.
It
increaseth
dayly
i●
it
be
not
opposed
,
and
cannot
be
cured
without
cutting
,
which
is
dangerous
for
yong
or
old
.
Prevent
the
breeding
of
it
when
you
see
the
least
disposition
to
it
.
Let
the
belly
be
alwaies
kept
loose
,
and
the
Nurse
eat
no
gross
slimy
food
:
make
a
bath
of
the
decoction
of
Althaea
.
Mallows
,
Pellitory
,
Parsley
,
Dill
,
Faenugreek
,
Lineseed
.
then
anoint
the
bladder
with
Althaea
,
oyl
of
Lillies
and
Scorpions
,
and
apply
a
Cataplasm
o●
Pellitory
,
boyled
with
oyl

Lillies
.

Pouder

Take
Magistery
of
Crabs

white
Amber
,
Goats
blood
prepared

each
a
scruple

with

water

Chap.

Of
Difficulty
and
Stoppage
of
Urin.
THere
are
many
causes
in
ripe
age
that
are
mentioned
,
but
in
Infants
they
are
chiefly
two
causes
:
the
thick
humor
that
breeds
the
stone
,
that
makes
a
strangury
and
dysury
;
and
the
Stone
that
stops
the
bladder
.
It
is
voided
by
drops
,
and
the
child
cries
,
and
the
urin
is
thick
,
you
may
try
with
the
Catheter
if
there
be
a
Stone
.
If
it
be
not
presently
cured
,
it
turns
to
the
Stone
:
and
all
natural
evacuation
in
Children
being
stopt
is
dangerous
.
It
is
as
in
the
Stone
,
you
must
evacuate
humors
from
the
first
passages
with
Hon●y
of
Roses
,
Cassia
,
Turpentine
,
foment
and
anoint
as
before
with
Grass
water
,
Restharrow
,
Dropwort
watter
,
and
decoction
of
red
Pease
.
Or
,
Take

blood

an
Hare
an

Saxi●●●ge
roots
six
drams
,
cal●ine

,
give

with
white
Wine
or
Saxi●●age
water

Of
not
holding
the
Urin.
SOm●●piss
no●
o●●y
in
their
sleep
,
but
alwaies
,
because
the
muscle
that
should
close
the
orifice
of
the
bladder
is
weak
,
and
when
much
water
pricks
it
,
it
suffers
it
to
come
forth
,
sometimes
a
Stone
in
the
bladder
hurts
the
Sphincter
,
so
that
it
cannot
do
its
duty
.
The
cause
of
weakness
is
a
cold
humor
and
moist
,
from
gross
●ough
meats
,
from
gluttony
and
the
like
.
It
cannot
b●
known
i●
Infants
,
but
i●
may
in
elder
children
,
that
●now
they
ought
not
piss
abed
.
If
it
come
by
custome
,
it
turns
to
an
habit
,
or
a
disease
,
and
is
hard
to
be
cured
in
ripe
years
:
if
it
be
from
distemper
it
is
easie
to
be
cured
.
Alter
the
cold
and
moist
distemper
,
dry
and
consume
the
flegm
,
let
the
Nurse
have
a
hot
drying
diet
with
Sage
,
Hysop
,
Marjoram
,
let
not
the
child
drink
much
,
keep
the
belly

Outwardly

Of
cha●ing
in
the
Hips
,
called
Intertrigo
.
IT
is
th●
separation
of
the
scarf-skin
from
the
true
in
the
Hips
,
that
causeth
pain
and
unqu●etness
.
It
is
from
sharp
piss
,
when
the
clouts
are
not
changed
often
:
in
such
as
are
fat
,
to
whom
filth
sticks
easily
.
The
Skin
is
off
and
it
looks
red
.
It
is
troublesom
by
reason
of
the
pain
,
and
causeth
want

Chap.

Of
Leanness
and
Fascination
.
SOmtimes
children
and
men
grow
lean
;
the
elder
from
Feavers
,
Consumptions
,
and
other
diseases
;
but
children
pine
away
,
and
the
cause
is
not
known
,
and
though
they
eat
and
perform
other
actions
,
they
are
not
nourished
no●
grow
.
The
causes
of
Consumption
in
Infants
are
,
little
or
bad
milk
by
which
no
blood
is
bred
fit
to
nourish
the
body
,
so
that
they
thrive
not
till
they
change
the
Nurse
.
The
second
is
worms
that
suck
away
the
nourishment
.
The
third
is
worms
about
the
body
without
,
●s
in
th●
Back
,
Aims●●r
Leg●
and
all
parts
,
these
are
very
small
a●d
br●ed
in●●●ufculous
parts
,
and
stick
in
the
skin
,
and
never
come
wholly
out
,
but
after
rubbing
in
baths
,
th●y
put
forth
their
heads
like
black
hairs
,
and
run
in
when
they
feel
the
cold
air
:
they
breed
of
●●imy
matter
shut
up
in
the
capillar
veins
,
which
turns
to
worms
from
transpiration
hindered
.
The
fourth
cause
in
the
opinion
of
people
is
fascination
or
witchcraft
,
either
from
the
eyes
of
Witches
,
or
by
vapors
,
or
by
touch
,
or
by
words
from
a
Witch
;
these
are
alleadged
by
many
Authors
.
I
neither
allow
nor
plainly
deny
all
these
waies
of
fascination
,
though
it
is
not
credible
that
a
child
should
suffer
by
words
or
looks
only
.
I
deny
not
but
diseases
may
be
sent
from
sick
bodies
to
others
,
as
the
Leprosie
,
the
French
Pox
,
Consumption
,
and
the
like
,
and
may
infect
Infants
.
And
I
believe
that
they
may
be
hurt
by
Witches
and
malicious
persons
by
the
help
of
the
Devil
and
Gods
permissio●
,
as
Basil
the
great
writeth
:
for
wicked
people
make
a
league
with
the
Devil
that
they
may
hurt
such
as
they
look
enviously
and
angerly
upon
.
And
I
add
one
thing
,
a
habit
of
body
that
is
grown
very
excellent
is
in
most
danger
,
as
Hippocra●●s
●aith
,
when
children
come
to
be
very
healthfull
and
fair
,
they
fall
suddenly
into
a
disease
,
and
the
vulgar
not
knowing
the
cause
of
it
,
impu●e
it
to
Witchcraft
.
The
signs
of
the
causes
,
if
they
be
lean
from
a
feaver
or
other
disease
,
it
is
easily
known
.
If
these
causes
be
not
,
view
the
Nurses
milk●
whether
little
,
or
her
breasts
●lag
without
milk
,
and
that
is
the
cause
of
leanness
in
the
child
;
if
she
have
milk
,
see
if
it
be
not
hot
and
dry
,
and
cholerick
.
And
consider
her
constitution
.
If
the
milk
be
blameless
,
see
if
it
be
not
from
worms
either
in
the
Guts
or
in
the
skin
;
the
wo●ms
in
the
skin
are
known
by
putting
the
child
into
a
bath
and
rubbing
it
,
especially
on
the
back
with
the
hands
,
and
with
Honey
and
Bread
,
and
then
you
shall
see
little
ash
coloured
or
black
hairs
come
out
of
the
skin
.
If
there
be
no
outward
nor
inward
cause
,
you
may
mistrust
a
venemous
vapor
or
witchcraft
.
If
it
be
for
want
of
milk
,
change
the
Nurse
.
If
it
be
from
worms
in
the
skin
,
it
is
not
hard
to
be
cured
;
if
it
be
from
an
occult
quality
,
or
from
Witchcraf●
,
it
is
hard
to
be
cured
,
because
we
know
not
the
nature
of
the
malignity
.
If
the
Nurse
have
any
Disease
,
or
be
contrary
to
the
constitution
of
the
child
,
change
her
,
kill
and
cast
out
the
worms
.
If
it
be
from
worms
in
the
back
,
rub
it
and
anoint
it
with
Honey
and
Wheat
bread
,
and
when
their
heads
come
forth
kil
them
with
a
Razor
or
crust
of
bread●
do
this
often
.
There
are
many
superstitious
things
carried
about
against
witchcraft
,
some
hang
Amber
and
Coral
about
the
childs
neck
,
nor
is
it
impossible
that
plants
and
Gemms
should
have
power
against
witchcraft
,
As
,
Briony
root
,
and
Elks
hoof
are
●ood
against
the
Epilepsie
,
also
there
are
Amulets
against
other

leanness

Remedy
