ALthoughe dyuerse lerned mē of no lesse iudgement then practyse, haue berebefore translated and set forth sundry bokes, conteyning the most holsome and profitable preceptes of Physicke, wherin they seme to haue openid and at large declared al such thyngs as semed necessarye and expedient to be had and knowē in thys oure vlgare Englishe tonge: yet neuer thelesse, I callynge to memory the notable s [...]ntence of Cicero, that euery man is not alonly borne for hym selfe bu [...] chifely to profit his natiue Countrye then his parentes, afterwarde hys chyldren and frendes, sekynge a meanes wherby I myghte profytte thys my natyue Countrey, thought it best to trāslate this lytle treatyse whych was gathered out of the workes of the most noble and Auncient phisicions Hipocrates, Galene, Dioscorides, and Auicen by one Petrus Hispanus whych (although he chaunced in a barbarous and rude tyme) was a man of great knowledge and longe practyse vnto whiche worke conteyninge alonly ye symple and bare practyse, I dyd adde before euerye chapiter as brefely as I coulde, the causes and sygnes of the sicknesses and dyseases, trustyng therby both to gratifye and somwhat ease the paynes of the reader so that he n [...]de not [...]lles where to seke the causes and sygnes of suche diseases whose remedyes wer cōteyned in this boke, and vpon that consideration I dyd also translate and adde herunto the Aphorysmes of Hipocrates redacted vnto such an order yt [Page] as the membres of mānes body be disposed to receiue some one disease and some another, so the Aphorismes, which entreate of eueri disease that maye happen to that membre be gathered together into one chapiter begynnyng at the head and soo in order to the ferre: and also because men often times desyre to know the names and properties of compounde medicines, I dyd translate a lytle booke of suche compoundes drawen oute of mesue by one Iacobus de partibus, whiche worke I haue redacted to the selfe same order that the aphorismes be in and furthermore because I wold gratify the reader, and wold not he shuld be ignorant in the names and weyghtes herin contayned. I haue hereunto added two tables, of the whiche the fyrst doth brefly expresse such symples & compoundes as do eyther comforte or purge any dysease or hurtfull humour infectynge any member of mans body, and the second expoundeth certayne general names of medecines and weyghtes commonly mencioned in thys boke and thervpon haue made an end of this rude & symple worke, employng my [...]ole labour & dylygence to set the same furthe as truly & as nye the authores mynd as I could, not thynkynge but that there do some faultes remayne therin both because the barbarous and arabicke termes which the author doth chyefly vse, and of the dyuerse and sundry opynions of most notable and well lerned Phisicions aswel in the names as in ye natures of herbes and simples, and especially that we be eyther ignorāt or destytute of Englysh names for a great sorte of them, yet I dyd as nigh as I could folow Dioscorides and in such thinges as I coulde not fynd in hym I dyd confer Fuchsius, Ruellius [Page] and Dorstemius together, and folowed the iudgement wherin they did al or the most part of them agre, and in the Englyshing therof I & al other which intend any such worke are muche beholden to Mayster Wyllyam Turner, who wyth no small d [...]ligence hath in both his herballes most truly and syncerly s [...]t furth the names and natures of diuerse h [...]rbes, vnto whose iudgment and correcciō and all other lerned in the most necessary scyence of Physycke, do I submyt this lytle worke and treatyse, desiring them most hartly to take in good worthe thys my fyrst labour & to accept my good wyll, not thynkyng it to be done to hurt any man, knowynge what a perylous thynge it is for them that be not lerned both in the complectyons of men, Age, Regions, and tyme of the yere, wyth the knowledge of the Orygyne and causes of the diseases, to take vpon them the cure of any pacient & that rather they shall do hurte then good wyth the sole and only practyse therof except they do therunto adde greate knowledge and perfyte iudgment had wyth paynfull study and long practyse, therfore I wold that all such rash & temerariouse persōs shuld perfectly knowe, that it was neuer my mynde or wyll that thys worke shoulde be set furth to mayntayne there fylthy lucre and blind boldnes, but [...]hefely to be a tokē and sygne of the entye [...] de [...]yre I haue to set furth the thyng whych shuld [...]e acceptable and pleasaunt to the Reader, & [...]lso I wold that it shuld be for ye vse and pro [...]yte of suche honest persons as wyll modest [...]y and discretelye (eyther in tyme of necessyty [...]hen no lerned Phisicion is at hande, or els [...]onferryng wyth some lerned man and vsynge [...] councel) mynister the thinges herin cōteyned [Page] & go about the practise therof, & vpon these most honest & godly cōsyderacyōs, I take vpō me this heuy burthē & hard prouynce, therfore I shal most hartly desyre the gentle reader to pardon my audacity & beare wyth my sclende [...] iudgment, and not to despyse this simple worke because it is not garnished wyth colours ofrethorik and fyne polyshed termes, but rather to consyder that Physike is an arte content [...] only to be playnly and distinctlye taught and nothing desirous to be adourned and decte wt eloquence and gay paynted sentences, wher [...] fore I trustyng to the syncer and indifferent [...] iudgement of the reader, do entyerly desyre him to pray wyth me to hym that created physick [...] of the earth, and commaunded that we should honour the physycion, to preserue this Realm [...] of England in most prosperouse and contynuall helth, and to endow the inhabitan̄ tes therof, with perfyte vnderstanding and the most desired knowledge of hys holy word.

[Page]They which lose theyr strength of [...]entymes wythout manifest occasiō [...]hall dye sodenly.

¶Of the Pappes. Capi. xxv.

IF the Pappes of a woman whi [...]h is wt child of two do waxe lyttel, [...]he shall lose one child, and if it be ye right Pappe it is a man childe, and if it be the lyft a woman.

If a woman, that neyther is with child, nother hath brought furthe a child, haue milke in her pappes, she is past her Floures.

Bloude drawing to the pappes of a woman, is a signe of the frenesy.

If thou wilt stoppe the floures of a woman, put a great ventose vpō her pappes.

Muche mylke yssuyng out of the tetes of a woman yt is with child, betokeneth the child to be very weake and feble, but if the pappes be hard the child is strong and helthful.

Lyke as the decreasing of the pappes [Page] is a signe of the destructyon of the child, so the hardnes of the same signifieth great paynes, in the pappes, legges, knees, or eyes, and the lyfe of the child.

Of the stomake. Cap. xxvi.

THe stomacke is most hote in the wynter and springtyme and then also the slepes be longest.

Men can not wel away wt much meat in the somer and herueste, but meanly in the spring, and best of all in the wynter.

In all dyseases to be stedfast of mynd, and to be content wyth such thinges as be mynystred to hym, is a laudable sygne, but the contrarye is very euyl.

Drynke of wyne doth take away hunger.

If he whiche goeth very dry to bedde steppe, it is good.

If they which haue certayne murmuryng and wynd in theyr belyes, [Page] haue greate paynes in the loynes, they shal haue moyst deiections, if ye wind do nether com furth nor great multitude of vryne, and al these do chance in feuers.

If in a laxe or vomyt suche thinges be purged as oughte to be purged, it doth ease the paciēt and it is nothing greuouse, but if no it chaū ceth contrary.

Let suche as can not easly vomit, be purged downewarde, but not in the somer.

In all kynde of diseases if blacke choler be purged vpward or downewarde wythout a medicyne, it is perillouse.

In the paynes of the small guttes callyd yl [...]aca, vomytynge, yeskynge, convulsyon, or dotynge be euyl.

A convulsion and yeskyng after a great purging, ar to be fearyd.

[Page]A sodeyne and voluntary vomiting, healeth hym that hath had a longe laxe.

Yeskynge is good to him whiche hath a heate & swelling in the liuer.

¶Of the diseasys in the liuer. Capi. xxvii

AN agew taketh away ye grefe and paynes in the lyuer.

A wounde in the braynes, hert, midrife, smal guttes, stomake, or lyuer is deadly.

If he whose lyuer mattreth be brē nid and therout issue pure and whit matter, he shal eskape, but if it be lik dregges he shall shortly dye.

Many diseases proper, to ye somer do chance in haruest, as quartaines and Hydropsyes engendryd in the splene.

If he whiche hath the dropsye be woundyd, it is harde to hele hym. Whosoeuer hath grypinges about the hauel, and paynes in the loynes and cannot be helped bi purgatiōs [Page] or otherwise shal fal to a dry hidropsye.

The coughe goinge before the hidropsye is euyl, but in the hydropsy much worse.

If they which he splenetike, haue a blody flux which wil long continewe, they fall to the hydropsye, or theyr meat shal cume throughe thē vndygestyd and so they dye.

A bloudy fluxe, an hidropsy or madnesse after a frenesy, are laudable.

Whoso haue theyr lyuer full of water, and it breake downwarde to the bely, it is death.

If he that hath an agew be taken wi [...]h the yelow iandes ye .vii. the .ix. the .xi. or .xiiii. day, it is laudable, yf the right side waxe not hard, but if it do, it is contrary.

An agew taketh away the paines vnder the syddes, yf it be withoute great heate and swellyng.

¶Of the gaule and splene. Capi. xxviii.

[Page]IF the yelow Iaundes, chance in an agew before the seuenth day, it is euyl.

They whiche haue the yelow iandes be not ful of wynd.

If ther lyuer whyche haue the yelowe ye iandes be hard, it is an euil sygne.

A bloudy flux is good to th [...] y• be splenetyke.

¶ Of al kynd of fluxyons. Cap. x [...]

IN a laxe dyuerse kyndes of [...] be good, except they change to [...] as be euyll.

Blacke sieges lyke to fylthy b [...]ude bein [...] voluntary be wounder [...]l euyl wh [...]rther they be wt an [...] or wtout an agew, and ye de [...]ker to our they haue, the worse they be, but yf these sieges com throughe a p [...]rgacion they be more laudable, [...] & althoughe they be of diuerse coloures the be not euyl.

To haue a siege of playne m [...] cholye, [Page] or to perbreake the same in y• beginnyng of any disease is deadly

Whosoeuer is brought weake ether by some greuouse disease or siknes of longe contynuāce, or by woū des receyued, or eny other waye, and thervpon haue a syege of melancholie like to blacke bloud he shal doutlesse dey the day after.

A bloudy fluxe begynnynge with a melancholike siege, is deadly.

Lytle peaces [...]f fleshe appearinge in a bloudye sie [...]e, be tokens of present death.

Uayne desyre to the stole in a woman wt child, killeth the child.

Tart or sharpe belching sodenlye chancing to hym whose meate cometh throughe him indigestid, is veri good.

In lōg continuāce of a bloudye flux, to absteine frō meate, is veri euyl & if it be wt an ague much wors

A bloudy flux is good to such as be splenetike.

[Page]A sodayne bloudy fluxe after a sincer or cleane siege, is to be fearyd.

If a great laxe chance in a whyte morfewe, it taketh away ye disease.

Frothy sieges in a fluxe, do declare the flegme to come from the head.

It is an euell token in a sharpe agewe, to haue a convulsion, or painful gripinges in the bely.

Paynes in the hyer partes of the bely, be more gentle & of leasser perill then they whiche be in the lower parte.

If he whiche hath the strangurye, be takē with the paynes in the smal guttes callyd iliaca, he shall dye wt in seuen dayes, excepte a feuer take hym with muche flux of vryn.

☞ Of the fundament. Ca. xxx.

IF the Hemorrhoydes chaunce to such as be melancolike mad, or frentike, it is laudable.

If he that hath longe tyme had the hemorrhoydes be healyd, & not one [Page] left open, it is to be feared least he fall to a consumptyon or hidropsye

The hemorrhoydes be very good to such as haue a melācholike madnesse, or great grefe in the raynes.

¶Of the disposicyon of raynes. Capi. xxxi.

THey which haue the paynes in the raynes after .xl. yeres of age, can not be healyd.

They whose vryne is full of grauel be seke of the stone, eyther in the raynes, or in the bladder.

Dyseases in the raynes and bladder, are skant curable in old men. Lytle bladders or bubles in a mās vryne, do betoken paynes in the raynes, and longe diseasys.

The hyer part of the vryne fattye & thicke, is a sygne of paynes in the raynes and sume greuouse disease.

If the aboue sayd tokens appeare in suche as be seke in the raynes, & also haue sore paines in the muscles of ye backe, if the paynes be inwarde [Page] it signifieth an apostem in the inner partes, but if they be outward the apostem shalbe ther also.

Much flegme conteyned betwixt the stomacke and the midrife, hauīg no way to the bely, is sone dissoluid if it issue by the vaynes to the bladder, and thence furth in vryne.

¶ Of the diseases in the bladder. Cap. 32.

IN moyst and wete season, longe agewes fluxes, rottenesse, ye falling euyl, the squinancy, and the palsye do cheflye raygne, but contrarye in dry seasons, cōsumptions, blearnes goutes, strāguryes & bloudy fluxes

Children be often greued wt paynes in the throte, and fallinge of the iawes, wormes in the bely, & stranguryes.

Old men haue moost comenlye these diseasys, shortnesse of brethe, rewme, the coughe, the strāguri, difficulty of vryne, goutes, daselinge in the head, paynes in ye raynes, palses [Page] in theyr bodies out of iust temperanse, y• ytche, watchinges wt moystnesse in the bely eyes and nosthriles dulnesse of syght, and hering.

If his water that is seke of an Ague be litell in quantitie thicke and ful of crūmes, & th [...]rvpō his vryne folowe much in quantitie and thine it is very good,

Whosoeuer in an ague hath his water troubled lyke to the vryne of an oxe or cowe, hath or shortly shall haue the headake.

In such diseasys as shalbe endyd the seuenth daye, ther shall appeare in the pacyentes vryne a red cloude the fourth daye with other reasonable tokens.

Uryne whyte and cleare is not laudable, and especially in them whych be frentike or do [...]ing.

They which be lyke to haue an apostem in theyr ioyntes, be deliuerid therof by much vryne white & thick [Page] as that which cometh from such as haue ben iiii. dayes seke of an ague

Bloud or matter in the vrine doth declare vlcers, and biles, eyther in ye raynes or blad [...]er.

Lytell peces [...] fleshe and heares in the vryne co [...] [...]rom the raynes.

Contentes lyk [...] branne in ye vrine signifye a Pocke or Scabbe in the bladder.

They which p [...]sse bloud haue a vayne broken in th [...] [...]ynes.

If they which [...] bloud or cromes, or els hau [...] [...]he [...]tranguri, if the paynes be bene [...]h the beli about the share, the disease is in the bladder.

Grauell in the vryne betokeneth ye stone in the bladder.

He that pisseth bloude or matter, & he in whose vrine skales do appere, or the water haue a strōg smel, hath vlcers in the bladder.

Whoso hath pustules or welkes in his yarde, and if they breake and [Page] the matter runne oute, they shalbe shortly hole.

To pisse muche in the night, dothe betoken a lytlel siege.

The strangury chanceth to that parson which hath a hote swellinge in the fundament, or matrix, and to hym whose reynes do matter, & yesking euer foloweth the heate & swellyng in the lyuer.

Diseases in the raynes and blader, are hard to heale in old men.

Contētes in the botome of the vrine lyke vnto thicke branne, signify the disease longe to continue.

If the water do appeare vnlike of substance, it betokeneth great mystemperāce, for diuersitye of humors within the body.

Drinking of wyne, healeth ye strā gurye, and hym yt cannot holde hys water, & it is also good to let bloud of the inner vaynes about ye ancle.

¶Of the membr [...]s of generatyon in men. Capi. xxxiii.

[Page]LYkewyse in men, eyther for the raritie of the bodye, the spirites goo out, so that the seede cā not come to his due place: or for the thiknesse therof the humour cannot get furthe, neyther wax hote for the coldnes, and so it heapeth in yt place or els ye same thyng cometh of great heate.

A bone a gristel, a synow, and the the toppe of the yard beinge cut, wil nether grow nor ioyne together.

¶Of the membres of generation in women. Ca. xxxiiii

IF the wynter be moyst and warme & the southwind blow, the sprīg time dry wt northwyndes, those women that be then with child shall of euery lyght occasyon lose theyr children, & the children then borne shalbe weake and seckely, wherfore they shal eyther dye strenght wt, or els al theyr lyfe tyme be, fayntye and full of diseasys.

[Page]If a woman with child must ned [...] be purged, let that be from ye fourth moneth to the seuenth, yet those sū what leasse, but before foure & after seuin let thē receyue no purgacions

The suffumigation of swete odurs doth bring furth the floures, & is good for dyuerse other thinges if it dyd not cause ye head to be drousi.

Lettynge of bloud dothe kyll the child, but the nyer ye byrthe the more perillouse it is.

If a woman wt child be taken with any greuouse disease, it is death.

The fluxyon of the floures taketh a way vomiting of bloud.

If the floures stoppe it is good to blede at the nose.

It is perillouse for a woman with child to haue a great laxe.

Nesynge is very good to her that hath the moder, or that trauaylethe of childbyrth.

She whose flours be euil colourid [Page] or that kepe not theyr comyn cour [...] had nede to take a purgatyon.

If thou woldest know whether [...] woman hath conceyuyd or no, geu [...] her water and hony myngled together to drinke whē she goeth to slepe and if she fele grypinges and paynes in her belye she is with childe, i [...] she fele non she is not.

A woman whiche hath conceuyd a male is well colouryd, but if it be a female, it is contrary.

Those women whiche be very smal and leane before they conceiue, shal lose one child before thei wax grose, Those wemen which beinge meane of body, do lose theyr children the secōd or thyrd moneth without manifest occasyon, haue the closures of theyr wombes ful of fylthy matter, wherfore they cannot susteyne the weyght of ye child, but sodēly breke.

They whiche be verye fat cannot conceyue tyl they wax leane, for the [Page] [...]outh of theyr matrix is stopped [...]p with fatnesse.

If thou wylt prouoke the floures [...]ause the woman to nese, and in the [...]eane while stop her nose & mouth

They whiche be wyth childe haue [...]heyr wombes closed vp.

If a woman with childe be taken wyth an agew, and waxe very hote, without manifest occasion, she hath great paynes in childebyrthe, or els [...]he loseth her child with perill of her [...]wne lyfe.

If a convulsyon, and fayntnesse [...]ake a womā in ye tyme of her flou [...]s, it is perillouse.

If the floures haue to much yssue ther do ensue dyuerse diseases, & yf they be stopped ther foloweth great grefe in the wombe.

If a woman hath not conceyued, & thou wilt know whether she shal conceyue or no▪ let her be well coueryd with clothes, & beneth let a suffumigacion [Page] be made of hote things and odoriferous, for if the smel com vp throughe her body to the nose & mouth, be sure yt she is not barayne of hir selfe.

If a woman with childe haue her flours, it is impossible ye child shuld be helthfull.

The floures stopping wt an ague or great cold, and the woman lothe her meate, say she is wyth child.

The matrix cold and grosse, or veri moyst, is not apt to conceyue, for ye seed is therin quenched & distroyed. Likewise if it be dry and very hote, for thē is the seed lost for lacke nourishment, but they whose matrix is of a meane temperature be plētifull & do often conceyue, if yu wilt know more rede aboue in ye disposion of ye Pappes.

¶Of the disposyon of the outward membres Capi. xxxv.

IF two great grefes do happen in [Page] diuerse mēbres at one tyme, the gre [...] ter taketh away the leasse.

Paynes in the knees and loynes, or grypynges in the bely coming vpō hym that hath non agew, do sygnifye that he shulde be purged downe warde.

In paynful feuers apostemes do often happen about the knees and chekes.

The siknesse shall chiefly remaine in that place which was greuyd before it beganne.

The ioyntes of such as haue had a feuer for a long season, shal ake & be ful of pustules.

Great paynes & swellynges in the ioyntes wt any brekinge or issue, do signifie that the goute or crāpe shal folow, and many be remedied wyth much washyng wt cold water, for yt doth extenuat the humor and take a way the paynes, for a meane colde extinguisheth.

[Page]Letting of bloud doth vtterly take a way such paynes as begynne at ye backe, & thēce remoue to the armes. Enuches be neuer bald nor gouty.

Women haue neuer the goute as longe as they haue theyr floures.

A childe hath neuer the goute vntil he hath knowen a woman.

All kynde of goutes (if the inflā mation be quenchid) wythin fourty dayes, do end.

All goutes do chieflye reygne in springtyme and haruest.

If the hippe bone fall out of his place after a long sciatica, ther shall muche matter folowe, or the legge will consume away, and the pacient shall halt, except he be brennyd.

¶ Of the Feuers and Agues. Capi. xxxvi.

THe siknesse it self, & the time of ye yere do playnly declare the tyme of the fyttes, the chefe time of the disease, & the order in y• fittes.

Old men be neuer troubled wyth [...] [Page] sore agewes because theyr bodyes be cold.

All sharpe diseasys are iudged in fourtene dayes.

Quartanes in somer be very short in Autume muche longer, in winter longest of all.

It is muche better that he whyche hath a convulsyon be takē wyth an agew, then he which hath an agewe be taken wyth a convulsyon.

If his fleshe that hath a sore ague do eyther fall nothynge away at al or decay very much it is euil for the fyrst betokenith long contynuance of the disease, and the other great wekenesse in the person.

At the beginning and endynge of an agew, al thynges be of more strē gthe then in the chefe part therof.

In al diseases they be in leasse ieopardy to whose nature age, accustō, or time of the yeare the sicknes doth agre, then they wyth whome it doth [Page] in no poynt agree.

Wh [...]n the somer is not vnlike to the springe tyme you shall loke for muche sweting in al agewes.

In dry seasons ther shall reygne diuerse sore agewes.

All dyseases in the haruest season be perillouse and deadlye, but in the springtyme most gentyl and easy.

In the somer these do chiefly reygne, contynual and brenynge agews tertyan and quartayne feuers, vomyting, laxes, blernesse with vlcers in the mouthe and pryuy membres. A cold stifnesse chancīg the sixt day in any feuer doth take away all iudgmente.

All feuers which do not intermite and geue ouer the thyrde day be perillouse, but if the paciente haue no fyte that day ther is no ieope [...]dy.

If great coldnesse take hym whyche is veri weke thrugh a contynuall agew it is deadly.

[Page]If in a contynuall agew the outward membres be very cold and the inwarde partes hote and drye, it is a token of death

If in an agew pustules and paynes chaunce in the ioyntes, it is a signe that the pacient fedeth wel.

In a contynuall Feuer, yf the lyppes, the eyes, the Nose or the mouthe be wrythen and out of fashyon, so that the pacient can not se nor here and therwith all hys bodye be weake, it is a sygne that death is at hand.

A sodeyne laxe or dotage in a continuall feuer is deadly.

An apostem which doth not breake at the fyrst iudginge daye in a Feuer, doth signifie the longe contynuance of the dysease.

Uoluntary teares in agewes be laudable, but they whiche flowe agaynst the pacyentes wyll be to be fearyd.

[Page]Al Agewes with swellinge in the foundament be euyl except such as endure but one day.

If he which hath an agew do sweate very muche and the disease contynew it is euyl, for it betokeneth lōg syknesse and abundance of humors

He that hath a convulsyon or discencion in ye synowes, and thervpō an agew, is sodeynly delyuered.

A tertyan not endid in seuen fittes shall contynue longe.

The yelowe iaundes comyng vpō hym that hath a Feuer before the seuenth day is perillouse.

To be affrayde in his sleape, or to haue the cramp is euill.

To be shorte brethyd in an agew is the sygne of a convulsyon.

Soryful syghes in sharpe agewes be to be fearyd.

They which haue the quartaine haue seldome convulsyons, and yf he which hath a convulsion fal to a [Page] quartayne he shalbe deliuerid from his conuulsyon.

If he whiche hath an agew swette in these dayes folowing it is verye good, the thrid, the .v.vii, ix.xi.xiiii.xvii.xxi▪xxvii, xxxi.xxxiiii. for ye swetes do iudge ye feuer, but if they be otherwyse, they declare longe contynuance of ye disease & great paynes.

¶ Of the diete to be obserued in agues. Capi. xxxvii

IN al diseases of long cōtinuance the pacyent most vse lytle meate, & exquisite, but in sharpe diseasis yt is perillouse, yet to eate to lytell or to much be both euyl.

Secke m [...]n do more often erre in vsynge lytel meate, then in that diet whiche is sumwhat larger, wherby they be ofte hurt, yea and to such as be in helth small fare, and exquisite diete, is very perillouse, because thei easly erre therin.

Unto extreame diseases extreme [Page] cures be necessary.

When the dysease is most extreme and sharpe the pacyent shal by and by haue wōderful paynes, wherfore he most vse most smal and thin diet & as the disease is from extreme paynes so most the diet amend.

Whē ye seknesse is most vyolēt then most the paciēt vse least meate of al.

The phisicion most marke well whyther the pacyent vsynge suche small dyet may endure to the state & strengthe of the dysease, or whyther the paynes wyll fyrst asswage or no

If the siknesse in the beginnynge be most feruent, then most the pacicyent vse lytell meate, but yf the siknes be afterwarde most vyolent the pacyentes meate most be sumwhat before diminished, but in the beginning he most fede well that he may be able to abyde the dysease.

The pacyent most forbeare meate in the fyttes, & especially in suche agewes yt do intermyt & come bifits. [Page] Amonge al other old mē may best a way wt fastīg, thē such as be of middell age, after yong men, and worse of al children & especially such as be quicke and lusty.

Such as grow, haue much naturall heate within them & therfore do require much meate, whyche yf they haue not theyr bodyes do sone cōsume, but cōtrary litel meate wyl [...]erue old men, because they haue but lytle natural hete whiche wt much meate is sone quēched, & therfore thei haue not so feruent Agues because theyr bodyes be cold.

The stomake & inward partes be most hote in winter & springetime, wherfore men most then fede better, for ye inward heate thē being muche doth requyre much meat & for a profe therof marke ye ages & ye chāpiōs Moyst meates be best of al to such as be sike of agues, & chiefly to childrē, & to such as haue bē acustomed [Page] like meates.

You must marke whether you shal geue them meate onse or twyse, and to whome you must geue more, to whome lesse, and sūwhat you moste bere wyth the tyme of the yere, the cō trey, the age of the person, and wyth the accustomed vse.

In somer and autume men maye skarce awai with much meat, but in the wynter best of all, and meane in the sprynge.

To such as haue theyr siknesse bi certayne fyttes in order, you shal geue nothyng, nether adde nor dimynishe afore the tyme of iudgynge.

The epystle of Diocles vnto king Antigonus, which teacheth a man to preserue hym selfe in health.

[Page]

IN so muche that youre grace beyng nowe sumwhat runne in yeares (most noble Prince Antigonus) is endowed with knowl [...]dge aboue other kinges, and that in all partes of Phil [...]sophy and the artes called Mathematicall wherin your grace hathe wounderfully profited: I thought that parte of Philosophy whyche teacheth a man to preserue hymselfe in health not worthy to be dyspysed and left vntouched of your regal maiestye, wherfore I thought it necessari to declare v [...]to your maiesty in thys Epistle, the causes of dyuerse diseases wyth the sygnes and tokēs which goo before the same, and last of all the remedyes wherwyth [...]e same may be healed and cured, for like as the [...] no raginge & hideouse tempest wythout sum [...] [...]anifest and open sygnes which declare the same to folowe, wherby men which haue knowledge and be lerned in ye Arcane and preuy workes of nature do so prouyde for themselues that they be sure from all perylles and i [...]operdyes that may ensue, so is ther no kynd of disease or sicknesse that maye infecte any membre of mannes bodye but that hath before suche euydent sygnes and tokens that it may be easlye knowen to folow. Therfore your grace puttyng your trust and confidence [Page] in those our preceptes may easly attaine to the perfect and absolute knowledge of all thynges.

First of all I haue deuyded the body of man vnto foure partes, that is to say the head, the brest, the bely, and the bladder.

Th [...]se sygnes and tokens do de [...]lare when any kynd of disease is about to infecte the head, daselyng in the eyes, the headache, heuynesse of y• browes, a noyse in the eares, prichinge in the temples, the eyes to water in the morninge & the syght to fayle, wt dulnesse or want of smellynge and the liftyng vp of the gummes.

When thou doest perceyue any such tokens, it is the best remedy to purge & clense the head (and that wyth no purgatyue medycyne) but wyth, v. vnces of wyne made of wytheryd grapes, or of new wyne sodde till half [...]e wasted a way, therwith thou shalt washe t [...]y mouth fastynge, and gargarise it therin till the head be purged of flegme therin conteyned, and this is the easyest remedy for al dyseasys in the head. Also it were very good and helthful, if the pacyent fastynge wold eate a quātitie of mustard whych haue bene macerate or steped in [...]at [...]r and hony myngled together, & gagarysynge the same wold drawe downe the humore conteyned in the head, but fyrst of all yo [...] moost take hede the heade be coueryd tyill it h [...]ar, wherby the slymy flegme may b [...] made more apt & mere to flowe downe to the mouth.

Now of the contrary part, whose despiseth these sygnes and tokens shalbe troubled wyth these deseases, or one of them, the ophtalmy, ye perle in the ey [...]s, brekyng out about the cares poukes or weles in the necke, the c [...]nsumptyō in the brayne, heuinesse in the head, the squinā [Page] eye, wormes whiche eate the heare, the paynes in the flape that coueryth the wynde pype, the fallynge of the heare, s [...]abbes or vlcers in the head, and the totheache.

You maye perceyue by these tokens yf anye man is lyke to be diseasyd about the breast or no, fyrst a swette throughe al the body & breast the tunge to waxe roughe or thyck [...], the spittel to be salt or bytter in tast or cholericke, sodein paynes in the sydes or shulders wythout manyfest occasyon, of tyaning much watchynge, suffocatyones, thurst after sleape, greate sadnesse, coldnesse in the breast, and a shakyng in the armes and handes, and the dyseases therof ensuing you maye auoyde wyth perbraking after a meane supper, wythout receyuinge any medycyne. Also it is very good to vomyt fastynge,

Therfore let hym that wold vomit, eate Radyshe, Towneressys, Roket, Mustarde▪ or purslane, and afterwarde drynke warme wat [...]r & he shall vomyt furthwith, but he that serrythe lyt [...]ll by these presagyes and sygnes ought to feare these diseasys, the pleurisy, paynes in the longes, melancholical madnesse, sharpe agues, the phrenesy, the lythargye, and a burnynge ague wyth yeskynge.

When ye bely shall be dyseasyd, sume of these sygnes do comenly appeare before, the throwes and paynes in the bely, meates and drinkes to [...]me bytter, heuinesse in the knees, cold stifnesse in the loynes, wearynesse of al the bodye wythout any occasyon, lacke of senses in the legges, and easye feuers, Now when [...]riye of these tokens do appeare it is best to make ye belly [...] soft and lose wyth some kynde of dyete [Page] and wt no purgīg medicyne, for it is leasse ieopardye to vse such thynges that a man maye skant erre in, as betes sodde wt water & hony, sodde garlike, malowes, dockes, or mercurye and swete metes made wyth hony, for all these thynges do mollifye the bely, but if any of the foresayde sygnes be manifest or endure longe adde to the sayde decoctyons the ioyce of b [...]stard Saffron, for therby it shalbe swetter and more holsome. Also Col [...]wortes sod in a great quantitie of water, or foure vnces of ye ioyce therof receyuid wyth hony and salte, is verye good, and of no lesse effect is the water of the decoctyon of Cichepcasen or bitterfitch drōke fastynge, But they which thinke these sygnes to be of none effecte, are oftentymes dyseased wt these syknesses, the flux in the belly, paynes in ye bowelles, the lyenceri, iliaca pa [...]sio which is a disease in the smale guttes, the [...]ciatica, the feuer tertyan, the goute in ye feete, ye apoplexye the hemorrhoydes, and the ioynte syknesse.

Al dyseases of the bladder, [...]e knowē by these tokens, to be very ful after lytle meate, great in flatyons, much b [...]lc [...]ynge, the pale colour of all the body, heuye or sad sleape, vryne wane of coloure, and great paynes in the making ther of, wyth swellyng about the pryuye membres, after whiche tokens it is good to vse odoriferouse thynges which moue vrine, as the rotes of Fenel or persely whyche haue ben steped a whyle in good & doriferouse white wyne, of yt whych let the pacyent take euery mornyng fastyng thre vnces wt the water af yelowe carettes or lonage or enula campana, for they be of lyke operation, & of no lesse effica [...]y is ye water wherin Ciches haue bene steped in, if it be dronke wyth wyne. But whoso doth lyghtli passouer these tokēs shall loke for sume of these [Page] dyseases the hydropsye, the bygnesse of the splene, paynes in the lyu [...]r, the stone, paynes in the raynes, the strangurye, and th [...] d [...]stentiō of the be [...]y. And her it is to be noted that in al these sygnes before rehersed we ought to mynister gentle and easy medecines to children, and to such as be elder, medycynes that be of more stronge operatyon and greater efficacye.

Now I entende brefly to declare vnto your maiestye the two turnynges of the sone callid in latyn solstitia (at which tymes suche thinges do comenli chance) and what meates your [...]ur grace shall vse or absteyne from in eyther of them, takynge my begynning at the wynter turnynge.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.
