ON the Sondaye, who that is borne, hee shall bee greate and shyning. Who that is borne on the Monday, to begin all [Page]thinges he shalbe good, who that is borne on the Tuesday, he shall be co­uetous, and he shall perish wyth yron, and vnneath he shall come to the laste age, to begin all thinges he shall bee good. He that is borne on the Wed­nesday, he shall lightly learne wordes. He that is borne on the Thursdaye, he shalbe stable and worshipfull, and to begin all thinges is good.

He that is borne on the Frydaye, hee shall be of long lyfe and lecherous, and to begin all thinges it is good. He that is borne on the Satur­day, he shal seldom be pro­fitable, but if the course of the moone bring it thereto.

SAturne, what is Saturne, he is the fyrste Planet and the wickeddeste, and he vnbeginneth the Zodyacke but once in thyrtye yeares, than fol­loweth it forth in the Zodyacke by xii. sygnes, that Saturne reigneth in eche sygnes ii. yeares & a halfe, in .vi. sygnes he raigneth xv. yeares. And in all the xii. sygnes he reigneth euen xxx. yeares, and right as there are twelue sygnes in the Zodyacke, so are there twelue monthes in the yeare, eache sygne to his month. Wherfore beware before, and make purueyaunce there­fore, and looke when Saturne reig­neth in the iii. winter sygnes, that is to say, Capricorne, Aquarie, and Pisces, and so long those vii. yeares and halfe a yeare, shalbe scarsenes and dearth of corne, fruite, Beastes, and all other thinges, for in the .iii. yeares signes he hath might and most power to fulfyll his malice if he be not letted by neigh­bourhood of any good planet.

THunder in Ianuary syg­nyfyeth the same yeare, great wyndes, plentye of corne, and battaile perad­uenture also. Thunder in February, sygnifyeth that same yeare many men, namely rich men, shall dye in great sicknesse. Thunder in March signifyeth that same yeare great win­des, plentye of cornes, and debate a­mongest people. Thunder in Aprill, signifyeth that same yeare to be fruit­full, and merry, and also death of wic­ked men. Thunder in Maye, sygnify­eth that yeare, neede, scarcenesse, and dearth of cornes, and greate hunger. Thunder in Iune, signifieth that same yeare, that woodes shalbe ouercasten with windes, and great raging shall be of Lyons, and Wolues, and so lyke [Page]of other harmefull Beastes. Thunder in Iuly, signifyeth that same yeare shalbe good corne, and fruites of Bea­stes, that is to say, their strength shall perishe. Thunder in August, signify­eth the same yeare, sorrowe, wayling of many, and of most hote thinges, and also many shall bee sicke. Thunder in September, signifieth that same yere great wynd, copye of corne, that is to say plenteous, and occasyon of folke, that is to say, much falling. Thunder in October signifyeth the same yeare, great winde and scantnesse of cornes, of fruites, and trees. Thunder in No­uember, signifyeth that same yeare, to be fruitefull, and merry, and cheape corne. Thunder in December signify­eth that same yeare, cheape corne, and of wheate, peace and accord among the people.

WYt thou well that in euery month be two euill dayes, one in wax­ing of the Moone, and another in the wanynge. The Kalenders she­weth them, and their howers o­penly ynough, in the whiche dayes, if anye folke take sickenesse, or be­ginne anye newe thinge, it is great grace if euer it fare well, or come to good ende. Also there are fyftye Ca­niculer dayes, that is to saye, for the xv. Kalend. of August, to the Nonas of September, in the whiche dayes it is forbidden by Astronomye to all ma­ner of folkes, that they let them no blood, ne take no drinkes, & also good [Page]it is to abstaine then from women, and they shold great leches know and keepe, and teache to other men. For whye all that time reygneth a starre, that is called Caniculacanis in latten, a hound in English, nowe of this fore­said star Canicula, the foresaide fyftye daies, are called Caniculer dayes, that is to say hore dayes, and byting as a Bytch, for the kinde of the star Cany­cula, is boyling and brenning as fyre, and biting as a bytch whelp, that time the heate of the sunne, and of the star, is so dowlcet and violent, that mens bodyes at midnight, sweates as at midday, and swelleth lightly, bloweth and brenneth, and if they then be hurt then be they more sicke, then at anye other time, and right neerer dead. In those dayes all venemous Serpentes creepeth, flyeth, and gendreth, & so they ouerset hugely the ayre, in seeding of their kind, so that many men are dead [Page]thereby, there agayne all the so [...]er, namely those dayes, a fyre is good, nighte and daye, and holesome. And seethe such meates, and take heeds of great violent meates.

Also from the xviii. Kalend of Octo­ber, to the xvii. Kalend of Nouember, looke thou take no colde, for then the powers of man, of earth, & of althings else setten. And they maye not [...] agayne till the evill Kalend. of a plil, wherefore such thinges as thou takest within the powers, thaffection y^e shalt with hold till they open, truly it should lesse harme thee to take cold at Christ­mas than then.

IF thou wilte keepe thee long in helth then holde this rule, that is to saye, flye anger, wrath, and enuie, & gyue [Page]thee to mirth in measure, trauaile sad­lye, so that thou sweate not to muche in the Sommer, and namely the Ca­niculer dayes, flye al manner of strong drinkes, and hote spices, brenning meates namely to haue them vsandly. Faste not to long at morue. Suppe not to late at nighte, eate not haste­lye, nor eate but little at once, and that that thou eatest, chew it well, euerye time that thou eatest, rest a little rather after, fleepe not thou vnder meale, namely but of these iiii. months. That is to say, Maye, Iune, Iuly, and Au­gust. And yet the lesse that thou stepest then the better it is: to sleepe well in the waxing of the night, and be earlye up in the morning, tymelyer the bet­ter. And, euerye daye beware of wic­ked mystes, that none enter in thee [...]asting, for thereof commeth great pe­ [...]tilences & great heate. And in greate [...]old and in pestilences eate much gar­lycke [Page]euerye day .ix. Safforne chyues, it will doe thee much good. Eate yn­nough in winter, eate ynough in Ver, but eate but little in Sommer, looke thy meate be well seasoned in Haruest beware of fruites, for they are not good, if it be giuen thee for medicine, of all manner of meates, sodden is the best, eate not to many hote spices, nor eate but little at once, for better it were to eate .vii. times on the day, then once thy fyll, fleshe is more nourishinge then fyshe, eate not to muche sowre meates nor salte, for they will make thy bones sore: looke thy drinke be not to newe, ne to olde, sweete pow­dred meates be moste holesome. Of al thinges take measure, and no more, for in measure restes Vertue. And that Sayntes did holde them to.

IN the chaunge of euerye Moone be ii. dayes in the which, what thing soeuer is begon, late or neuer, it shall come to good ende, and the dayes be full perillous for ma­ny thinges.

• In Ianuary, when the Moone is iii. or iiii.
• In February .v. or .vii.
• In March .vi. or .vii.
• In Aprill .v. or .viii.
• In May viii. or. ix,
• In Iune .v. or .xv.
• In Iuly iii. or .xiii.
• In August .viii. or .xiii.
• In September .viii. or .xiii.
• In October .v. or .xii.
• [Page]In Nouember .v. or .ix.
• In December .iii. or .xiii.

Astronomers sayeth, that vi. dayes in the yeare are perilous of death. And therfore they forbid men to be let blood on them, or take any drinkes. That is to saye.

• The thirde daye of the Moneth of Ianuary.
• The fyrste daye of the Moneth of Iuly.
• The seconde daye of the Moneth of October.
• The last daye of the Moneth of A­prill.
• The first day of August.
• The laste daye going oute of De­cember.

¶ These vi. dayes wyth greate dilly­gence oughte to be kepte, but namely the latter iii. for all the vaynes are then full. For then whether man or beaste be knit in then, wythin vii. [Page]dayes, or certaynly wythin xiiii. dayes they shall dye, And if they take anye drinkes wythin xv. dayes, they shall dye. And if they eate any goose in these iii. dayes wythin xl. dayes they shall dye. And if any chylde be borne, in these iii. [...]atter dayes, they shall dye a wirked death.

¶ Astronomers, and Astrologyers, sayeth, that in the beginning of Mar­che the vii. night d [...] the xiiii. daye, lette thee blood of the right arme. And in the beginning of Aprill, the xi. daye, on the lefte arme. And in the end of May iii. or v. day, on whether arme thou wilte. And thus of all that yeare, thou shalte sykerly be warish from the Fe­uers, and from the falling gowte, and from the fyster gowte, and from losse of thy sight.

Bial magest in sente loqui of Ptholomei.

Eche mans body is ruled by a certaine signe of the Zodyack.

Wherefore as sayeth Ptholomens in the place of bone. If thou be sycke in any limbe, doe no medicine vnto that lymbe, when the Moone is in the sygne of that lymbe, for it shall rather hynder, then fourther. And namely flee blood letting, at that time of those lymbes. Thus shalte thou knowe whiche sygnes reigneth in whiche lymbes.

The Bull reigneth in the neck and in the throate ouer all.

The Gemuse reigneth in the shoul­ders, armes, and haudes.

The Creues or Lobster, reigneth in the breast stomacke, and limbes, arte­ries, the mylte, heart, lyuer, and gall, and those iii. be the signes of Ver.

And the Crab in the hearte, lunges, and arteries, and other smale lymbes, about the middryfe, and those three signes are in Sommer.

The Ballaunce reigneth in the na­uill, and in the reignes, and the lower partes of the wombe.

The Scorpyon reigneth in the blad­der, in the arse, and in other preuy har­ne [...]s, and in the maryes.

¶ Luna is cause of moystones greate waters and vyolent floudes.

Saturne hower is good and strong to doe all thinges that asketh strength onely, and to noughte else saue to bat­tayle, for it is wonderous euill, that man or woman, that hath that starre Saturne to hys plannet, he is melan­colyous, black, and goeth swiftelye, he [Page]hath a voyde heart, wicked and bitter as wormewoode, he will lightlye be wroth, he is ian [...]ous, witty, couetous and yrerons, he eateth hastely and is false, and most what louing to lye, and hath shining eyen as a Ent, he hath in the forehead a marke or a wounde, of fyre, he is poore, and his cloathes are rent vnto a tyme, and thus he hath o­pen sygnes and all his couetous is by other mens possessions, and not by bys owne.

Iupiter hower is good in all thin­ges, namely to peace, loue and ac­corde. Who that hath thys starre to hys Planet, [...]he is sang [...], rud­dye, and goeth a large pace, neyther to swifte, nor to softe, his stature is seemely, and shyninge hes hath a fayre vysage, louelye semblaunce, fayre lyppes, fayre heares, and a shi­ning broade face, fayre b [...]vies, hys cloathes are good and stronge, [Page]he is sweete, peaceable, and softe.

Mars hower is euill, and not full euill, it is better by night then by daye. For it is Masculyne on the night, and Femynine on the daye. It is good to doe anye thing, but wyth greate strength, by nighte it is good to en­ter battayle, and also by daye, but not so much good as by nighte. Who that hath this starre to hys Planet, hys making is of good defence, and often tymes his face is red with blood, hys face is small and sotell, and laugh­inge, and he hath eyen as a Catte. And all the dayes of hys lyfe, he wyll accuse many men of euill, hee hath a wounde of a sworde in his face, he is moste Colericke. And thus he hath o­pen signes.

¶ Soll hower is worste of all other howres, no man in this hower maye do his will saue Kynges, and Lordes, and that wyth greate strength. Who [Page]that in this hower entreth battayle: hee shall be deade there. Who that hath this starre to his Planet. He hath sharpe eyen, greate speeche, and wic­ked thoughtes in hys heart, he is wic­ked and auarous, neyther whyte nor blacke, but betwixte both, hee hath a marke in the face or a wounde, and hath a wound in hys body of fyre, and he is right wicked and grudging in hys deedes.

Venus hower is good in all thinges, and it is better on nyghte than on daye, euer till myddaye, at midday it is not good, for the sunne couereth it. On Sunday the ix. hower is Ve­nus hower, sue not then to anye Lord ne potestate, for if thou doe thou shalte fynde him wrothe. Who that hath this starre to his Planet, name­lye if he be borne by night in Venus hower, he is whyte and hath a rounde face, little foreheade, rounde beard, [Page]he hath a myddle nose, and myddle heeres of eyen, he is laughing and len­tigious, and he hath a marke in the face, hys making is fayre and playne, and oft tymes his nether lip is greater then the ouer. And who that is borne, vnder Venus, when she is not in full power, he hath a sharpe nose and some­what crooked, fayre heeres, softe eyen of running water, the is a singer, he longeth much of games, and loueth them well, and his tales he sweete.

Mercurious hower from the be­gynninge to the middle, is good in all thinges, and from the middle to the ende it is harde, and it is not much better on nighte then on day, and eche tyme of the nighte and daye hee stan­deth before the Sunne or behynde, therefore hee hath hys power muche more by nighte then by daye, from morne to the fyfte hower of the day, he hath his power, and from thence to [Page]the nynth, he hath no power. Who that hath this starre to hys planet, he hath a sharpe stature, and a sharpe long face, long eyen long nose, great heeres of hys eyen, and thicke, na­rowe forehead, long bearde, thynne heere, long armes, long fyngers, long feete, long hatrell of the heade, hee is meeke and loueable, and he will doe eche thing to certayne space, hee is more whyte then blacke, and ofte tymes ryghte whyte, and hee hath greate shoulders. And who that is borne vnder Mercurious, when he is not in his full power.

That is to saye. From the fyrste hower of the daye, to the nynth, he is black and dry, he hath crowded teeth, and sharpe, he hath a wound in his bo­dy wyth fyre, he is scorged wyth wan­des or smitten wyth a sword, and men sayeth on him an euill name, of euill tales, and of manslaughter.

The Moones hower is ryght good and righte euill from the fourth day, to the xvii. it is good, namelye to all those that are borne in it, and from the xvii. daye to the xx. daye, it is some­what good, but not so good: & from the xx. day, to the xxvii. day it is euil, name­ly to all those that are borne in it. Who that hath this star in his Planet and borne therevnder, when it is in full power, he hath a playne face, and pale, sometyme lentigious, and doeth his willes to men, he hath somewhat seemely semblaunce, and he is ryche, he hath meane stature, neyther to long nor to shorte, he hath strayghte lyppes, and hollowe eyen. Who that is borne vnder this starre, when it is not in full power, he hath a strayghte face and drye, and malicious, he hath little teeth, and Albugine, that is to saye. A whyte strike in the eare.

I Doe thee to wyt that in ech man & woman reyg­neth ech planet and euery signe of the Zodiack, and euery prime qualities, and euery Elemente, and euery complecti­on, but not in euery lyke, for in some men reigneth one more, and in some reigneth another, and therefore men be of dyuers manners, wherfore good it is that we see shortely the kinde of those primes qualityes, and so forth on the others.

FOure Pryme qualityes there bee. That is to saye, moystenesse, hote­nesse, dryenesse, be two contraryes, and there­fore the may not nigh together wyth­out a meane, for the hotenes on the one side bindeth them together, & coldnesse on the other syde. Also hotenesse and coldenesse are two contraries, and therefore they maye not nighe toge­ther, wythout a meane, for the moystenesse on the one syde, byndeth them together. And dryenesse on the other, moystnes is cause of euery thick substaunce, and of euery sweete taste. And there agayne drynesse is cause of euery thin substaunce, & of euery soure stinking taste. And also hotenesse is cause of enery red coulour, and large quantitye. There agayne coldenesse is cause of euery whyte coloure and little [Page]quantitye.

¶ Combyne. That is to saye knitte these fower Pryme qualityes, alter these iiii. combinacions, that is to say, knittinges, and then they will holde iiii. Elementes, that is to saye. The Ayre moyst and hote. The Fyre hote and drye. The earth drye and colde. The Water colde and moyste. The Ayre and the Earth, are two con­traryes, and therefore they maye not nigh together, but as Fyre byndes them on the one side betweene them. And the water on the other syde be­tweene them. Also Fyre and Water, are two contraryes, and therefore they maye not nigh together, but as the Ayre betweene them byndes on the one syde. And the Earth be­tweene byndeth them together, on the otherside. The Fyre is sharp, sub­till, and moueable. The Ayre is sub­till, moueable, and corpulent, and dull. [Page]The Earth is corpulente and thycke. The Water is moueable, corpulente and dull. The Earthe is corpulente, dull, and vnmoueable, righte as an eggeshell, Vingose a thinskin. And that skin Vingose the whyte, and in the middeste of the yolke, is a little tender hole, righte so the fyre Vyn­gose the Ayre, ten times more, and ten tymes. Then the Ayre Vyngose the Water ten tymes more, and ten tymes tymer then the Water, The water Vyngose the Earth ten tymes more, and ten tymes timer than the Earth. In the hearte of the Earthe is the Senter of the worlde. That is to saye, the middeste poynte. And in euery Senter is hell. And there agayne aboute the Fyre, are the star­res, and aboute them is heauen Chri­stalin, that is to saye, waters of all blisse, departed in ix. ordes of Aun­gels, then is Heauen in the higheste [Page]rownes, and largest. And there a­gayne is Hell in the lowest, narowest, and straightest.

Right as there be iiii. Elementes, so there bee fower Complections, accor­ding in all manner qualityes, to these fower Elementes.

The fyrst is Sanguine, that is to say blood, gendreth in the lyuers, lymbe, and lyke to the Ayre.

The second is Choler, gendred in the Gall, and lyke thereto. And it is accor­ding to the Fyre.

The thyrde is Melancholye, gende­red in the mylte, and lyke to the dreg­ges of blood, and it accordeth to the Earth.

The fourth is Flumes, gendered in the Lunges, lyke to galte, and it ac­cordeth to the water. A Sanguyne man much may, and much coueyteth, for he is moyst and hote.

A Chollerycke man, muche co­ueyteth [Page]and little maye, for he is hote and drye.

A Melancholious man, little may and little coueyteth, for he is drye and colde.

A Flumaticke man, little couey­teth, and little may, for he is colde and moyst.

A Sanguine man is large, louing, glade of cheare, laughinge, and rud­dye of cloure, stedfast, fleshlye, ryghte hardye, mannerly, gentle, and well nourished.

A Choloricke man is guilefull, false and wrathfull, traytoures, and right hardy, quint, small, drye, and black of coloure.

A Melancholyous man, is enuy­ous, sorry, couetous, harde, and false, holdining, guilefull, dredfull, flothfull, and cleare of colour.

A Flumaticke man is slomery, sleepy, slowe, sleightfull, and muche [Page]spetting, dull, and harde of wyt, fat vysage, and white of coloure.

IN the yeare bee foure quarters, ruled by these foure complections, that is to say. Ver, Sommer, Haruest, and Wynter. Ver hath iii. moneths. That is to say, March, Aprill, and Maye. And it is sanguine complection. Sommer hath also iii. monthes. That is to saye, Iune, Iuly, and August. And thys quarter is cholerick complection. Har­uest hath also iii. monthes, that is to say, September, October, Nouem­ber, and this quarter is Melancholius complection. Winter hath also iii. [Page]monthes. That is to saye, December, Ianuary, and February, & thys quar­ter is flumaticke complection.

Eche day also these fower complecti­ons reigneth, that is to say, from three after midnight, vnto ix. reigneth san­guine, and from ix. after midnighte, to three after midday, reigneth chollo­rick, and from iii. after middaye, to xi. after middaye reigneth Melancholy, and from ix. after midday, to iii. after midnight reigneth fleume.

Also in the fower Quarters of the worlde reigneth these fower complec­tions. That is to saye, Sanguyne in the East. Chollericke in the South. Melancholy in the West. And fleume in the North.

Also the fower complections reyg­neth in fower ages of man. That is to say. Choller in Childhode. Sanguine in manhood. Flume in age. And Me­lancholius in old childhoode. If from [Page]the byrth, to xiiii. yeare full done, man­hode is from thence to xxx. yeare age. From thence to l. yeare. And olde from thence to lxxx. yeare, and so forth to death.

Also these fower complections reig­neth in fower partes of mans body.

Choller reygneth in all the soulet lim­bes, from the breast vpward.

Sanguyne reigneth in all small lim­bes. Also from the middrife to the we­sand.

And Flume reygneth in all noury­shing limbes, also from the reynes to the middryfe.

And Melancholy reygneth in all the limbes, from the reignes downe­warde.

Wherefore euery mans vrine is cast in fower, that is to saye, Corkill, Su­perfice, Myddest, and grounde, eue­ry partye of the vrine to hys parte of mans bodye. And therefore to fower [Page]thinges in euery vryne wee must take heede, that is to saye, Substaunce, quantitye, Choler, and contente, three Substaunces there are: That is to say, thicke, thin, and middle.

Thicke Substaunce betokeneth much moystnes.

Thinne substaunce betokeneth much drynes.

And myddle substaunce betokeneth temporaunce.

Also iii. Quantityes bee in Vryne. That is to saye, Much, Little, and Meane.

Much quantitye betokeneth greate colde.

And little quantity betokeneth great heate.

And meane quantitye betokeneth temperaunce.

Also take heede to the taste whether it be sweete or not.

Sweete taste betokeneth health.

And other taste betokeneth sycke­nesse.

Also in Vrynes be xx. coloures, of the which the fyrste ten betokeneth colde, and the other ten betokeneth heate.

The x. coloures that betokeneth cold are these.

The fyrst is blacke, a darke cole and commeth of lyued going before.

The seconde lyke to leade, and those two betokeneth mortifycation.

The thyrde is whyte as cleare wa­ter.

The fourthe is lacktike, lyke to whay.

The fyfte is caropose, lyke to graye russet, or to Camels heare.

Thy sixt is yelow lyke to salow leaues falling of trees, and those iiii. coloures betokeneth indigestion.

The seuenth is subpale, that is to say not full pale.

The eyght is pale, lyke to some sodden fleshe.

The nynth is Subsitryne, that is to say, fulsitryne.

The tenth is sytryn, lyke to a pony­siter, or to right yelow flowers.

And these fower coloures betokeneth beginning of digestion.

Nowe we haue seene the coloures which betokeneth colde. So we will see the other ten whiche betokeneth heate.

The fyrst is Subrife, that is to say, not full ruffe.

The seconde is ruffe, lyke to fyne Golde.

And those two coloures betokeneth perfecte digestion. So the vryne be middle of substaunce, myddle of quan­tity, sweete of taste, and without con­tentes.

The thyrd is subrife, that is to say ful redde.

The fourth is redde, lyke Saffron durte.

The fyfte is subrugund, that is to say not full rubugund.

The syxte is rubygunde, lyke a strong flame of fyre. And these fower coloures betokeneth passing of dige­stion.

The seuenth Ynopose, like to whyte wyne.

the eyght is Kinanos, lyke to rotten blood. And these two betokeneth a­dustyon.

No man ought not to make incisi­on nor touch wyth yron the members gouerned of any signe, the day that the Moone is in it, for feare of the greate effusyon of blood that mighte happen: Nor in likewise when the sunne is in it for the great daungers and perrill that might follow thereof.

IN the top of the head is a bon that couereth the brayne, the which Ptholomeus calleth y^e Capitall bone. In the scull be two bo­nes, which bene called parietalls, that [Page]holdeth the brayne close and stedfast. And more lower in the brayne, is a bone called the crowne of the heade, and one the one syde and on the other, bene two holes wythin the whyche is the pallays or roofe bone. In the part behynde the head bene iiii. lyke bones, to the which the chayne of the necke holdeth. In the nose ben ii. bones. The bones of the chaftes aboue be xi. and of the neyther iaw ben ii. aboue the ap­posite of the brayne, there is one be­hynde named collaterall. The bones of the teeth be xxx. eyght, before iiii. aboue, & iiii. vnderneth, sharpe edged for to cut the morsels, and there is iiii. sharpe ii. aboue, and ii. vnderneth, and ben called conines, for they be lyke co­nies teeth. After that bene xvi. that be as they were homers or grindinge teeth, for they chewe and grynde the meate the whiche is eaten and there is iiii. aboue on euery syde, & iiii. vnderneath. [Page]And then the iiii. teeth of sapy­ence on euery syde of the chaftes, one aboue and one vnderneath. In the chin from the head downewarde bene xxx. bones called knottes or ioyntes. In the breast before bene vii. bones, and on euerye syde xii. rybbes. By the necke betweene the head and the Shoulders, bene ii. bones named the sheres, and ben the ii. shoulder blades. From the Shoulder to the Elboe, in ech arme is a bone called the Adiutor, from the Elbow to the hande bone, e­uery arme ben ii. bones, that ben called Cannes, in eche hand bene viii. bones, aboue the palme bene iiii. bones which bene called the Combe of the hande. The bones in the fingers in ech hande xv. in euery finger three. At the endē of the ridge ben the huckle bones, where­to bene fastened the two bones of the thighes, in eche knee is a bone called the knee plate.

From the knee to the foote in eche leg, ben ii. bones called canes or marybo­nes. In each foote is a bone called the ancle orpin of the foote, behynde the ancle is the heele bone in ech foote, the which is the lowest parte of a man. And aboue each foote is a bone called the hallowe bone. In the plant of ech foote bene fower bones. Then ben the combes of the feete in ech of the which ben fyue bones, the bones in the toes in each foote bene the number of xiiii. Two bones ben before the belly, for to holde it stedfast with the two bran­ches. Two bones ben in the head be­hind the eares, cald oculares, we reken not the tender bones of the ende of the shoulders, nor of the sydes, nor dyuers little gristles and speldres of bones for they be comprehended in the number aforesayde.

HEre I do you to wit, that the vayne in the middest of the foreheade would be letten blood for the ach, & payne of the heade, and for Feuers (Lytargy) and for the me­grime in the head.

About the two eares behinde is two vaynes the which be let blood to geue cleare vnderstanding, and vertue of light hering, & for thick breath, and for doubt of Meselrye or Leprye. In the temple bene two vaynes, caled the Ar­tiers for that they beat, which ben let­ten blood, for to diminish and take a­way the greate replection and aboun­daunce of blood that is in the brayne, that might noy the head and the eyen, [Page]and it is good agaynst the gowte, the megrime, and dyuers other accidents that may come to the head.

Vnder the tonge bene ii. vaynes, that ben letten blood for a sicknes caled the Sequamy, and against the swelling & apostumes of the throate, and agaynst the Equinancye, by the which a man might dye sodaynly for default of such bleeding.

In the neck ben ii. vaynes caled origi­nals, for that they haue the course and abundaunce of all the blood that go­uerneth the body of man, and princi­pally the head, but they ought not to be letten blood wythout the counsayle of the Phisition, and thys bleeding auai­leth much to the sycknesse of Leprye, when it cōmeth principally of y^e blood. The vayne of the hearte, taken in the arme profyteth to take away humors, or euill blood that might hurte the chā ­ber of the heart, or the aperteinance, & [Page]is good for them that spitteth blood, & that ben shorte winded, by the which a man may dye sodaynely for defaulte of such bleeding.

The vayne of the liuer taken in the arme swageth the greate heate of the body of man, and holdeth the body in health, and this bleeding is profytable, also agaynst the yelow axes, and Apo­stume of the liuer, and agaynst the pal­sy, whereof a man may dye for default of such bleeding.

Betweene the maister finger and the leth finger to let blood, holpen the dol­lors that commeth in the stomack, and sydes, as botches, and apostumes, and diuers other accedents that may come to these places, by great abundance of blood and humoures.

In the sydes betweene the wombe and the braunch, bene two vaynes of the which that of the right syde is let­ten blood for the dropsy, and that of the [Page]lefte side for euery sicknes that cōmeth about the milte, and they should bleede after the persons be fat or leane, take good heede at foure fyngers nighe the insicion, and they ought not to make such bleeding, wythout the counsaile of the Phisition.

In euery foote bene three vaynes, of the which three, one is vnder the ancle of the foote named sophan, the whiche is letten blood for to swage & put oute dyuers humours, as botches and apo­stumes that cōmeth about the groines and it profiteth much to women for to cause their menstruosity to descend, & delaye the Emerodes that commeth in the secret places and other lyke.

Betweene the wrestes of the foote, and the great toe is a vayne the which is letten blood for dyuers sickenesses, & inconueniences, as the pestilence that taketh a person sodaynely, by the great superabundance of humoures, & thys [Page]bleding must be made wythin a natu­rall daye, that is to say, wythin xxiiii. howers after that the sycknesse is ta­ken of the pacient, and before that the Feuer come on him, and this bleeding oughte to be done after the corpolence of the pacient.

In the angles of the eyen, bene two vaynes, the which bene letten blood, for the rednes of the eyen, or watry or that runneth continually, and for dy­uers other sicknesses that may happen and come by ouer greate abundaunce of humoures and blood.

In the vayne of the ende of the nose, is made a bleeding, the which is good for a red pympled face, as bene redde drops, pustuls, small scabs, and other infections of the heart, that may come therein by to great replection, and a­bundaunce of bloud and humoures, & it auayleth much agaynst pympeled noses, and other like sicknesses.

In the mouth in the gummes ben iiii. vaynes, that is to say, two aboue and two beneth, the which ben leten blood for chaufing and canker in the mouth and for toothack.

Betweene the lip and the chin is a vayne that is letten blood to geue a mendement vnto them that haue an e­uill breath.

In ech arme bene iiii. vaynes, of the which the vayne of the head is the hy­est, the second next is from the hearte, the thyrd is of the liuer, and the fourth is from the mylte, otherwise called the low liuer vayne.

The vayne of the head taken in the arme, ought to bleed for to take awaye the greate replection and aboundance of blood that may annoy the head, the eyen and the brayne, and auayleth greatly for chaungeable heates, and swelling faces and red, and for diuers other sycknesses that maye fall and [Page]come by great abundaunce of blood.

The vayne of the mylte, otherwyse called the lowe vayne, should bleed a­gaynst feuer tercians and quartaynes, and in it ought to be made a wide and a lesse deepe wound then in any other vayne, for feare of winde, that it maye gather, and for a more incenuenience, for feare of a smowe that is vnder it, that is called the Lesard.

In eche hande bene three vaynes, whereof that aboue the thombe ought to bleede, to take away the great hete of the visage, and for much thick blood and humors that ben in the head, and thys vayne delayeth more then that of the arme.

Betweene the little fynger, and the leche fynger, is letting of blood that greatly auayleth agaynst all feuer ter­tians, and quartaynes, and agaynste flumes and diuers other lettinges that commeth to the paps and the milte.

In the thigh is a vayne, of the whych bleeding auayleth agaynst doloure of the genitoures, and for to put out of mans dody humoures that bene in the graynes.

The vayne that is vnder the ancle of the foote without is named Sciot, of the which bleeding is much worth agaynst the paynes of the flancks, and for to make auoyde and issue diuers humoures which would gather in the sayde place, and it auayleth greatly to women to restrayn their menstruosity when they haue to great abundance.

¶ Thus endeth the Flubothomye.

HE must take the first vi. yeare for Ianuary, the which is of no vertue nor strēgth, in that season nothing on the earth groweth. So man after that hee is borne, till he be vi. yeare of age, is wyth little or no witte, strength, or cunning, and maye doe little or nothing that commeth to any profite.

Then commeth February, and then the dayes longeth, and the sunne is more hotter, then the fyeldes begin to waxe greene. So the other vi. yere till he come to xii. the childe beginneth to grow bigger, and is apt to learne such thinges as is taught him.

Then commeth the month of March, in which the labourour soweth the earth and planteth trees, and edyfieth [Page]houses, the chylde in these vi. yeares waxeth big to learne Doctrine, and science, and to be fayre and pleasaunte and louing, for then he is xviii. yeares of age.

Then commeth Aprill, that the earth and the trees is couered wyth greene Flowers. And in euery party goodes encreaseth abundauntly. Then com­meth the younge man to gather the sweete flowers of hardinesse, but then beware that the colde wyndes, and stormes of vices beate not downe the flowers of good maners, that shoulde bring man to honoure, for then is he xxiiii. yeare of age.

Then commeth Maye, that is both fayre and pleasaunte, for then Byrdes sing in woodes and Forestes, nyght and daye, the sunne shyneth hote, as then man is most lusty, mighty, and of deliuer strength, and seeketh playes, sportes, and manly pastimes, for then [Page]is he full xxx. yeares of age.

Then commeth Iune, and then is the sunne at the highest in his meridional, he may ascēd no higher in his stacion. Hys gleamering golden Beames ry­peth the Corne, and then man is xxxvi. yeare, he maye ascende no more, for then nature hath giuen them courage and strength at the full, and ry­peth the seedes of perfecte vnderstan­ding.

Then commeth Iuly, that our fruites be set on sunning, and our corne a har­dening, but then the sunne beginneth a little to descende downwarde. So then man goeth from youth towarde age, and beginneth for to acquainte him whyth sadnesse, for then he is come to xlii. yeare.

After that then commeth August, then we gather in our corne, and also the fruites of the earth, And then man doeth hys dillygence to gather for to [Page]fynde hym selfe, to mayntayne hys wyfe, chyldren and hys housholde, when age commeth on him, and then after that vi. yeare, he is xiviii. yeare of age.

Then commeth September, that wynes be made, and the fruites of the trees be gathered: And then there wythall he doeth freshly begin to gar­nishe hys house, and make prouision of needefull things, for to lyue wyth in wynter, whych draweth verye neare, and then man is in his moste stedfaste and couetous estate, prospe­rous in wisedome, purposing to ga­ther and keepe as much as shoulde bee sufficient for him in hys age, when he maye gather no more, and then is hee liiii. yeare of age.

And then commeth October, that all is into the aforesayde house ga­thered, both corne, and also other ma­ner [Page]of fruites, and also the laborers plowe and sow new seedes on the erth for the yeare to come. And then he that nought soweth, nought gathereth, and then in these vi. yeare a man shall take himselfe vnto God, for to do penance & good workes, and then the benefites the yere after his death, he may gather and haue spirituall profyte, and then man is fully the tearme of lx. yeares.

Then commeth Nouember, that the dayes be very short, and the sunne in manner giueth but little heate, and the trees losen their leaues. The fields that were greene, looketh hoare, and gray. Then al manner of hearbes bene hyd in the ground, and then appeareth no flowers, and then wynter is come, that the man hath vnderstanding of age, and hath lost hys kindly hete and strength, hys teeth begin to rotee and to fayle hym. And then hath he little hope of long lyfe, but desyreth to come [Page]to the lyfe euerlasting, and these vi. yeares maketh him lxvi. yeare of age. Then last commeth December, full of colde, wyth frosts, and snows, with great wyndes, and stormy weathers, that a man may not labor, nor nought doe. The sunne is then at the lowest, that it maye descende. Then the trees and the earth be hid in snowe, then it is good to hold them nie the fyre, and to spende the goodes that they gate in sommer. For then man beginneth to waxe crooked and feeble, coughing & spitting and loathsome, and then he lo­seth hys perfecte vnderstanding, and his heyres desyre hys death. And these vi. yeare maketh him full lxxii. yeares, and if he lyue any longer, it is by his good guiding and dieting in hys youth howbeit, it is possible that a man may liue till he be a C. yeare of age, but ther be but few that liueth so long, tyll they come to a hundred yere of age.
