A
breefe
Treatise
concerning
the
preseruation
of
the
eye
sight
.
THe
preseruation
of
the
sight
doth
consist
,
partly
in
good
order
of
diet
,
partly
in
vse
of
Medicines
.
Concerning
diet
:
Milke
and
all
things
made
thereof
are
found
by
experience
to
induce
dimnesse
of
sight
:
reare
rosted
,
reare
sodden
,
Of
sauces
,
veriuce
,
vinigar
of
wine
,
Of
spices
,
Confectes
made
with
fine
sugar
and
thinly
incrusted
about
with
turnep
seedes
,
and
navew
seeds
,
fenill
seeds
,
anise
seeds
almonds
,
pine
aple
kernels
,
ginger
,
cinamon
,
the
powder
of
eiebright
,
&c.
are
reputed
as
very
good
meanes
to
continue
the
sight
:
likewise
in
the
preseruation
of
the
sight
,
amongst
other
things
,
such
drinkes
,
And
in
this
respect
it
is
not
amis
at
meate
to
drinke
wine
,
Arnoldus
de
villa
noua
hath
written
in
these
words
:
Eie-bright
is
good
any
way
taken
,
either
with
meate
,
One
(
saith
he
)
which
was
blind
,
and
did
see
nothing
in
long
time
,
by
vsing
this
wine
one
yeare
,
was
restored
to
his
sight
.
The
herbe
is
hot
and
drie
,
and
hath
by
propertie
of
substance
to
remoue
affectes
of
the
sight
.
In
countries
which
for
their
common
drinkes
do
vse
wine
and
water
,
they
alway
do
mingle
things
for
the
sight
in
wine
,
and
not
in
water
:
for
wine
in
truth
is
a
fitter
liquor
to
receiue
the
qualities
and
to
carry
the
same
to
the
eyes
,
then
water
:
which
thinges
they
do
put
in
the
muste
,
and
so
let
it
stand
,
vntill
the
wine
be
ripe
,
and
ready
to
be
drunken
,
and
so
do
vse
it
.
Notwithstanding
in
other
Countries
which
haue
other
vsuall
drinkes
,
I
thinke
it
best
to
begin
with
the
simplest
order
to
compound
ale
or
beere
to
each
mans
best
liking
with
eiebright
only
,
taking
to
euery
gallon
of
the
drink
a
great
handfull
of
the
herbe
,
I
can
witnes
,
M.
Hoorde
,
aboue
the
age
of
84.
yeares
,
who
had
at
that
time
perfit
sight
,
and
did
read
small
letters
very
well
without
spectacles
:
hee
told
me
that
about
the
age
of
40.
yeares
,
finding
his
sight
to
decay
,
he
did
vse
Eiebright
in
ale
for
his
drinke
,
and
did
also
eate
the
powder
thereof
in
an
egge
three
daies
in
a
weeke
,
being
so
taught
of
his
father
,
who
by
the
like
order
continued
his
sight
in
good
integrity
to
a
very
long
age
.
I
haue
heard
the
same
confirmed
by
many
old
men
Rowland
Sherlooke
an
Irish
man
,
Phisition
to
Queene
Marie
,
did
affirme
for
truth
,
that
a
Bishop
in
Ireland
perceiuing
his
sight
to
wax
dimme
,
about
his
age
of
fifty
yeares
,
by
the
vse
of
eiebright
taken
in
powder
in
an
egge
,
did
liue
to
the
age
of
80
yeares
,
with
good
integrity
of
sight
.
We
do
reade
of
many
drinkes
to
preserue
the
sight
,
compounded
not
of
eie-bright
onely
,
but
many
moe
thinges
added
:
so
some
put
to
it
sage
,
some
veruaine
,
some
celendine
,
and
fennell
seedes
,
anise
seeds
,
&
the
forenamed
spices
:
others
elecampane
rootes
,
iris
,
galengale
,
&
cubebs
,
and
in
truth
all
these
are
greatly
commended
to
preserue
the
sight
,
and
may
very
aptly
be
put
in
drinkes
for
the
sight
:
notwithstanding
,
for
that
we
are
now
to
deliuer
a
drinke
for
the
sight
,
which
may
bee
pleasing
,
and
alowed
with
meates
,
mine
opinion
is
,
that
the
same
ought
to
be
made
as
simple
as
may
be
.
For
if
Gallen
in
his
6.
booke
de
sanitate
tuenda
,
doth
preferre
the
composition
of
the
medicine
termed
diatrion
piperion
,
which
hath
fewest
simples
,
because
(
as
he
writeth
)
that
is
soonest
&
with
lesse
trouble
to
nature
digested
:
It
is
holded
better
to
drinke
oft
and
small
draughts
at
meat
,
When
you
drinke
wine
if
you
meane
to
alay
the
same
with
water
,
Bread
in
our
intention
is
to
be
made
of
fine
flower
of
chosen
wheat
,
Nothing
is
more
hurtfull
to
health
then
fulnes
.
Mirth
,
ioy
,
and
pleasantnes
of
the
minde
is
good
:
a
little
anger
doth
not
hurt
:
immoderate
sorrow
,
fearefulnes
,
and
all
vehement
affections
are
forbidden
in
all
affects
,
but
in
this
our
case
chiefly
,
as
most
hurtfull
to
the
sight
.
To
preserue
the
sight
by
Medicines
.
THE
order
to
preserue
the
sight
by
medicines
,
doth
consist
of
things
outwardly
applied
,
Lapis
Armenius
,
spectacles
of
Christalline
or
clear
and
pure
glasse
,
greene
&
sky
colours
,
to
dip
the
eies
in
cold
water
,
to
which
purpose
,
many
haue
cups
made
in
the
forme
of
an
eie
,
lignum
aloes
,
beaten
into
fine
powder
,
Lignum
aloes
.
good
for
the
sight
.
and
let
it
stand
other
fifteene
daies
in
the
Sun
.
Then
straine
it
twise
through
a
thick
cloth
,
and
keepe
the
clearest
in
a
vessell
of
glasse
to
your
vse
:
you
may
drop
a
little
hereof
into
your
eies
to
cleare
the
sight
.
And
some
do
distill
this
wood
in
a
stillatory
of
glasse
,
and
put
the
water
thereof
into
the
eies
,
and
hold
this
for
a
great
secret
as
miraculous
to
preserue
the
sight
.
And
the
same
Montagnana
doeth
compound
another
medicine
more
abstersiue
to
remedie
the
dimnes
of
the
sight
,
dissoluing
in
an
ounce
of
the
water
of
Rosemarie
flowers
,
I
am
heere
also
in
this
place
for
the
clensing
and
strenghtning
of
the
eies
especially
to
commend
vnto
you
the
frequent
vse
of
old
and
cleere
white
wine
,
in
which
the
Calaminar
stone
hath
beene
oftentimes
extinguished
:
and
likewise
the
pure
liquor
of
good
sugar-candy
dissolued
in
the
white
of
an
egge
,
being
hard
rosted
and
the
yolke
taken
out

other
things
doth

the

de

,
Inward
Medicines
.
MEdicins
to
be
taken
inwardly
are
in
number
many
:
but
I
thinke
best
at
this
time
to
mention
a
few
,
which
are
easie
to
be
had
,
and
as
of
great
efficacy
most
commended
:
&
of
such
the
powder
following
is
most
simple
:
Take
of
the
powder
of
eiebright
foure
ounces
,
of
mace
one
ounce
,
mingle
them
togither
,
and
take
thereof
the
weight
of
three
pence
before
meate
.

FINIS

A
Treatise
of
the
principall
diseases
of
the
eyes
,
gathered
out
of
Fernelius
and
Iohn
Riolamus
Doctors
of
Phisicke
AS
the
Eyes
are
of
a
delicate
and
soft
nature
,
so
ar
they
by
the
most
light
occasion
offended
,
as
by
smoak
,
by
dust
,
and
the
Sunne
beames
:
so
the
north
winde
,
and
vapours
rising
from
minerals
doe
hurt
the
eyes
.
But
this
peculiar
property
the
eyes
haue
,
that
they
congeale
not
because
they
are
of
a
fiery
property
,
and
doe
consist
of
an
airy
fatnes
.
The
eyes
are
subiect
to
euery
kinde
of
disease
,
Simeler
,
Organical
,
and
commune
as
the
similer
parts
doe
labour
with
euery
distemprature
,
with
an
hot
distemprature
,
as
often
as
they
are
offended
with
smoake
,
or
dust
,
which
offence
proceeding
from
an
outward
cause
,
is
properly
called
Taraxis
,
rednes
of
the
eyes
is
more
like
vnto
Phlogosis
,
then
Phlegmon
because
they
arred
without
tumor
.
A
cold
distemprature
doth
dull
the
sight
.
A
moyst
doth
dilate
the
pupill
:
A
dry
distemprature
doth
either
shrinke
vp
the
whole
eye
,
or
the
pupill
thereof
is
dryed
or
extenuated
,
as
it
hapneth
in
extreame
old
age
,
or
by
the
immoderate
vse
of
venerie
.
From
thence
Pthisis
,
and
an
Atrophia
hapneth
of
the
eye
:
I
call
that
Pthisis
which
is
an
extenuation
of
the
pupill
,
or
apple
,
and
becometh
more
angustior
,
and
streyter
,
and
more
obscure
:
but
that
is
an
Atrophia
,
when
the
whole
eye
is
consumed
for
want
of
nourishment
.
And
as
the
Instrument
doth
suffer
diseases
of
number
,
of
magnitude
,
of
situation
and
conformation
,
(
I
say
)
conformation
in
the
figure
,
Meatus
,
and
Asperitie
,
for
it
is
a
disease
in
magnitude
,
as
often
as
the
eyes
are
more
great
,
and
more
standing
forth
then
they
should
,
for
the
lesser
eyes
are
best
,
because
the
visible
vertue
being
coacted
and
drawne
togither
is
greater
then
when
it
is
dispersed
,
and
is
least
subiect
to
outward
iniuries
:
from
whence
it
doth
happen
,
that
those
which
by
nature
haue
small
balls
or
apples
of
the
eye
,
haue
their
sight
most
sharpe
,
I
meane
not
those
which
haue
it
so
by
accident
,
as
if
they
be
extenuated
by
immoderate
venerie
,
for
then
thinges
seeme
to
be
greater
then
they
are
:
to
this
may
be
referred
Enchanthis
,
and
Rhinas
,
for
they
are
the
contrary
of
the
same
kinde
.
Encanthis
is
an
excrescence
of
the
same
flesh
which
is
in
the
greater
Cantho
,
but
Rhinas
is
when
the
same
caruncle
being
eroded
and
eaten
,
doth
appeare
as
it
were
hanging
forth
.
To
diseases
of
number
,
doe
appertaine
Suffusio
,
which
is
commonly
called
the
Cataracte
,
which
is
an
humor
concreate
betweene
the
Cornea
,
and
the
Vuea
:
in
like
manner
,
the
web
called
Pterigium
and
Onix
or
Vngula
and
Hipopion
.
The
web
is
a
neruose
membrane
,
which
according
to
diuers
men
,
doth
proceede
from
the
great
corner
vnto
the
apple
,
and
sometimes
at
length
doth
couer
the
whole
eye
.
Onyx
or
Vnguis
is
a
Cicatrix
from
some
vlcer
,
which
is
referred
to
the
likenes
of
a
nayle
.
Hypopion
is
a
certaine
Pus
,
collected
vnder
the
Cornea
,
which
doth
succeed
a
suppurated
inflammation
&
Chemosi
,
Hyposphagmati
bloudy
and
suggillat
eyes
,
such
as
are
when
some
veine
is
opened
,
broken
,
or
gnawne
,
the
bloud
waxeth
blewe
and
liued
:
To
diseases
of
Site
or
situation
doth
appertaine
Ecpiesmos
,
which
is
,
when
the
whole
ball
hangeth
forth
,
which
hapneth
by
the
Muscles
relaxed
,
which
muscles
do
obuolue
the
opticke
nerue
,
which
disease
may
be
called
Prolapsus
oculi
,
although
Paulus
doth
cal
it
Proptosin
,
when
the
Cornea
being
eroded
or
eaten
,
the
Vuea
doth
hang
forth
,
of
which
Proptoseos
there
are
diuers
names
,
for
first
when
the
vuea
doth
hang
forth
,
because
it
appeareth
like
vnto
the
head
of
a
Flie
,
it
is
called
Myocephalos
,
but
when
it
doth
increase
more
,
and
doth
represent
Acinum
vuae
,
it
is
called
Staphiloma
,
when
it
doth
more
increase
,
and
the
eye
is
starke
blinde
and
hath
the
likenes
of
the
head
of
a
nayle
,
it
is
called
Clauus
,
but
either
affect
is
Morbus
in
situ
,
but
the
first
is
of
the
whole
eye
,
the
latter
of
one
onely
part
,
that
is
of
the
vuea
.
Diseases
of
conformation
are
,
when
the
naturall
figure
of
the
eye
is
peruerted
,
as
in
Strabismo
or
conuulsion
,
Midriasei
or
dilatation
of
the
ball
:
also
diseases
in
Via
,
as
a
sodaine
obstruction
of
the
Opticke
nerue
,
which
is
called
Hamarosis
.
The
Sicke
seeth
nothing
at
all
,
when
notwithstanding
no
cause
appeareth
in
the
eye
,
the
tunicles
of
the
eyes
ought
to
be
light
,
terse
▪
and
fayre
are
sometimes
exasperated
with
an
inward
and
outward
cause
,
as
with
smoake
and
dust
.
The
eyes
do
suffer
most
often
common
diseases
,
as
vlcers
,
and
tumors
against
nature
,
first
phlegmon
,
which
is
called
Opthalmia
,
that
is
knowne
by
tumor
,
inflamation
,
rednes
and
paine

The
vlcers
do
manifest
themselues
by
itch
,
by
paine
and
Saines
,
but
not
also
the
Adn●ta
,
but
also
the
Cornea
is
sometimes
vlcered
,
and
whether
it
bee
vlcered
,
wee
may
easily
know
by
this
signe
:
There
doth
appeare
a
white
spot
in
the
black
of
the
eye
,
with
the
signes
aforesaid
:
and
when
the
Coniunctiua
is
vlcered
there
doth
appeare
as
it
were
a
red
spot
in
the
white
of
the
eye
:
But
first
,
I
will
set
downe
the
manner
of
curing
of
those
diseases
,
and
then
I
will
speak
of
the
Symptoms
.
The
precept
of
Plato
in
Charmide
is
familiar
with
Galen
.
Euen
as
it
is
in
vaine
to
cure
the
diseases
of
the
head
without
consideration
bee
first
had
of
the
whole
,
so
rashly
to
prescribe
remedies
to
the
eyes
,
except
we
first
consider
of
the
head
,
where
is
the
originall
both
of
the
eyes
and
the
fountaine
of
all
diseases
which
come
by
defluxion
.
Therefore
first
of
all
the
body
is
to
bee
purged
with
pillulis
lucis
maioribus
in
a
cold
cause
,
and
in
an
hot
cause
,
with
pil.
lucis
minoribus
,
or
with
Sena
and
Agarick
which
shall
bee
boyled
in
a
decoction
,
or
with
the
distilled
waters
of
Fenel
and
Eyebright
,
with
which
vehicles
the
purgatiue
vertue
is
carried
to
the
eyes
:
and
consider
that
the
Agarik
doth
especially
profit
the
braine
,
and
the
Senna
the
eyes
.
The
opening
of
a
veine
in
hot
diseases
is
profitable
,
but
not
in
cold
,
yet
the
common
people
do
hold
an
opinion
that
bloud-letting
doth
weaken
the
sight
,
for
it
draweth
the
animall
spirits
and
so
doth
weaken
their
force
,
because
the
vapour
of
bloud
or
the
naturall
spirit
is
the
matter
of
the
vitall
spirit
,
as
heere
of
the
animall
:
for
the
eyes
ought
to
be
fiery
and
full
of
Animall
Spirit
.
Masticatoria
,
without
doubt
,
doe
profit
to
the
deriuation
of
the
humor
from
the
braine
,
but
your
errhina
are
hurtfull
,
especially
the
stronger
sort
,
because
they
draw
to
the
part
affected
,
for
there
is
great
affininity
of
the
nostrils
with
the
eyes
:
there
is
also
a
manifest
foramen
,
from
the
eye
into
the
nostrill
,
whose
opercle
or
couer
is
a
litle
lacrimall
flesh
.
But
some
man
may
say
Aerius
doth
prescribe
errhina
:
I
answer
those
are
the
lighter
sort
,
neither
is
the
disease
as
yet
confirmed
,
but
now
beeing
confirmed
and
the
humor
fixed
and
not
flowing
,
Cupping
glasses
adplied
to
the
shoulders
doth
pluck
back
the
fluxe
from
the
eyes
,
euen
as
a
Seton
,
and
Cautier
,
in
Inio
Iohn
de
Vigo
doth
apply

the

from
thence

from

springeth

As
often
as
the
veines
of
the
forehead
do
swell
,
they
shew
the
fluxe
to
bee
externall
and
the
tumor
to
descend
from
the
pericoranium
from
whence
springeth
the
coniunctiua
,
which
fluxe
is
profitably
stayed
with
some
adstringent

such
as
in
this
maner
may
be
prepared
.

.
Also
topicall
meanes
applyed
to
the
head
are
not
to
bee
neglected
.
For
this
is
a
generall
precept
,
as
often
as
diseases
come
by
defluxion
.
we
must
not
onely
respect
that
part
that
is
offended
but
also
that
part
that
sends
it
.
Beside
a
thinne
humor
is
to
bee
ingrost
and
made
thicker
,
and
the
laxe
wayes
are
to
be
made
straiter
:
this
last
prescribed
frontall
is
most
excellent
,
but
first
cephalicall
thinges
and
such
as
respect
the
head
must
be

For
generall
thinges
outwardly
to
bee
applyed
,
I
will
prescribe
two
Colliriums
,
the
one
in
hot
diseases
to
be
prescribed
in
the
beginning
of
the
fluxe
,
that
it
may
bee
repelled
,
the
other
in
the
state
and
declination
of
hot
diseases
,
and
in
cold
also
,
they
may
at
all
times
be
vsed
,
the
first
Colirium
shall
be
after
this
manner
.
Recip
.
Muccaginis
Semi
.
Psyl●●
.
et
Cydoniorum
,
extractae
in
aqua
Rosarum
,
vel
plantaginis
,
an
.
halfe
an
ounce
with
two
ounces
.
Of
the
same
water
make
a
liquid
Colirium
:
it
is
commonly
made
with
the
white
of
a
new
laid
egge
,
being
wrought
together
with
Rosewater
or
Plantain
water
:
a
Colirium
to
resolue
is
made
in
this
manner
.
Recip
.
Muccaginis
faenugreci
extracted
with
Eyebright
water
or
Fenel
water
an
.
one
ounce
make
a
Colirium
,
or
with
two
ounces
of
the
same
water
make
a
Collirium
liquidum
:
a
litle
of
the
Muscilage
is
to
bee
prescribed
because
it
doth
quickly
grow
sower
.
And
now
I
aske
whether
your
Colliriae
are
to
bee
distilled
into
the
eyes
as
hot
as
may
be
suffered
?
as
it
liketh
Scribonius
:
or
cold
as
it
pleaseth
Mesue
,
or
luke warme
according
to
Galen
:
But
in
my
opinion
they
are
to
be
instilled
luke warme
,
vnlesse
the
affect
do
require
some
other
thing
,
for
in
eyes
that
be
exceedingly
inflamed
and
burning
,
wee
drop
it
in
cold
;
but
in
very
cold
affects
wee
droppe
it
in
very
warme
,
otherwise
meanely
warme
doth
alwaies
serue
the
turne
.
Now
to
proceed
to
cure
those
diseases
whereof
wee
haue
already
spoken
:
euery
distemperature
is
cured
by
his
contrary
:
as
eyes
that
bee
inflamed
and
ouer-hot
,
shall
be
cooled
with
the
dayly
washing
of
them
with
cold
thinges
,
or
with
the
waters
of
Roses
and
Plantaine
:
but
if
the
distemperature
be
cold
,
we
warme
the
eyes
with
putting
in
the
waters
of
Eyebright
,
Fennell
,
Rue
,
Celendine
,
washing
them
often
therewith
:
if
the
eyes
bee
ouer-moist
wee
dry
them
if
wee
macerat
tutia
in
those
waters
,
as
for
example
.
Recip
.
Tutiae
one
dram
.
Infuse
it
in
eyebright
water
two
ounces
,
make
a
Collirium
if
the
eyes
be
ouer
dry
we
humect
them
by
instilling
womans
milk
,
or
with
a
fotus
of
mallowes
,
holy
hocks
and
violets
:
But
if
some
matter
be
ioyned
with
the
distemperature
,
let
it
bee
resolued
with
a
Collirium
of
the
Muscilage
of
Fenugreeke
extracted
in
the
aforesaid
waters
;
or
wash
the
eyes
with
the
decoction
of
Fenugreeke
,
with
a
sponge
,
or
boyle
a
bag
being
filled
with
Fenugreeke
in
water
,
and
apply
the
bagge
to
the
eye
warme
:
hitherto
we
haue
spoken
of
the
Similer
disease
,
now
we
will
speake
of
organicall
,
and
first
of
diseases
of
magnitude
.
If
the
eyes
shall
be
greater
or
lesser
then
they
should
be
from
their
first
conformation
,
all
remedies
are
vnprofitable
:
if
they
happen
so
by
accident
,
as
by
some
fluxe
from
the
braine
,
all
the
body
is
often
to
be
purged
,
the
moist
eyes
are
to
be
dryed
,
we
must
looke
to
the
head
that
is
ouer-moist
with
Cephalicall
thinges
.
Also
Cautiers
must
be
applyed
to
dry
vp
the
offending
humor
:
we
must
apply
for
Topicall
,
linnen
dipt
in
the
water
of
Rue
,
Celendine
,
or
Eyebright
,
and
the
infusion
of
Tutia
,
or
the
bagge
filled
with
Fenugreeke
,
or
of
the
same
Hydroticall
Decoction
of
the
infusion
of
Tutia
make
a
Collirium
.
Encanthis
groweth
whiles
the
bloud
doth
more
abundantly
flow
to
the
caruncle
for
nourishment
,
which
being
turned
into
the
same
substance
groweth
greater
then
it
ought
to
doe
:
sometimes
it
is
so
great
that
it
hindreth
the
eye
lids
to
be
shut
:
it
is
burnt
with
gold
,
or
els
with
a
burning
iron
,
or
els
cut
off
,
or
when
it
doth
surmount
it
is
bound
with
a
thread
,
after
it
is
softly
bound
vp
,
and
after
being
destitute
of
nourishment
,
the
excrescence
doth
fall
away
of
its
owne
accord
.
Our
ancient
Phisitions
called
this
kind
of
remedy
Anabronchismon
,
if
the
sick
bee
of
a
delicate
constitution
and
shall
refuse
the
Chirurgery
,
let
the
excrescence
be
eaten
away
with
burnt
Alum
or
with
oyle
of
vitriol
:
but
it
must
be
diligently
corrected
with
rosewater
or
milke
,
for
the
exquisite
sense
of
the
part
.
In
the
meane
time
while
these
things
are
a
doing
,
wee
must
defend
the
eye
with
some
defensure
to
auoid
the
offence
of
a
fluxe
.
Rhyas
doth
oftentimes
succeed
Epiphora
if
the
Caruncle
be
plainely
eaten
it
admitteth
no
cure
:
but
if
some
part
bee
onely
eaten
,
the
flesh
may
bee
regenerated
by
applying
incarnatiues
as
tutia
,
aloes
.
thus
,
or
infuse
the
same
in
succo
granatorum
,
and
being
strained
instill
it
by
drop
meale
into
the
greater
corner
of
the
eye
.
But
perhaps
you
will
say
wil
you
mixe
adstringents
with
your
incarnatiues
,
such
as
is
the
iuyce
of
Pomegranets
?
which
is
altogether
forbidden
by
Galen
:
least
the
dry
excrement
should
be
retained
in
the
part
.
But
hitherto
of
diseases
of
magnitude
:
now
follow
diseases
of
number
.

of

humors
,
beeing
soft

the

Dioscorides
doth
commend
a
Collirium
of
Snailes
,
they
are
to
bee
burned
whole
,
and
the

to
be
mixt
with
honny
,
the
pouder
of
the
cuttle

or
the
pummis
stone
may
bee
also
mixed
with
honny
as
before
;
If
you
would
haue
it
stronger
,
mixe
a
little
salt
Armoniac
,
but
first
foment
the
eye
with
a
decoction
of

.
Aetius
vseth

seed
,
and
addeth
to
the
pouder
mirhe
,
and
also
the
scales
and
flowre
of
brasse
,
but
wee
should
apply
no
mettals
to
the
eyes
,
except
it
be
first
burnt
and
washed
,
for
by
the
burning
and
washing
,
the
sharpnes
and
biting
quality
is
remoued
,
and
so
it
doth
raise
no
fluxe
,
of
which
our
cheefest
care
should
bee
.
Also
wee
may
vse
oyle
of
vitriol
,
but
it
must
bee
well
corrected
with
milke
:
but
yee
shall
note
that
a
great
and
inueterate
web
can
be
cured
by
no
meanes
but
by
Chirurgery
:
such
are
those
that
couer
the
whole
ball
and
black
,
of
the
eye
:
webs
grosse
and
thick
,
black
:
and
which
do
affect
the
temples
,
by
consent
are
in
no
hand
to
bee
medled
withall
.
In
like
manner
if
there
be
suspition
of
a
Catarhact
beginning
,
and
there
be
also
a
web
that
is
white
and

,
we
must
abstain
from
thinges
eating
,
because
they
generate
and
increase
the

,
that

which

and
so

the

Because
that
Hypopion
followeth
to
Hyposphagma
,
that
is
,
eyes
that
are
bloudy
by
meanes
of
some
veine
being
rupted
,
or
open
,
which
is
also
called
Aimalops
,
because
in
this
affect
all
thinges
seeme
red
:
therefore
the
bloud-shotten
eyes
must
be
quickly
lookt
vnto
,
least
by
neglect
it
growe
into
a
leady
colour
,
and
then
doth
suppurate
and
degenerate
into
Hypopion
,
for
that
hapneth
to
the
eye
that
hapneth
to
the
skin
by
some
blowe
,
and
groweth
when
corrupt
matter
is
in
great
aboundance
,
so
that
it
doth
occupie
halfe
the
blacke
of
the
eye
,
or
shineth
through
the
horny
coate
,
which
couereth
the
whole
apple
of
the
eye
:
this
affect
may
rise
not
onely
of
an
vlcer
,
but
also
of
great
payne
in
the
head
,
or
inflamation
in
the
eye
that
is
corrupted
,
and
besides
inflamation
,
it
may
grow
from
aboundance
of
humors
which
doe
breake
open
the
mouthes
of
the
veines
:
also
,
or
stroake
or
falls
may
make
the
bloude
disperse
and
flye
abroad
,
which
turneth
to
suppuration
ad
Pus
when
it
is
out
of
their
proper
vessels
.
To
preuent
the
inconueniences
,
the
patient
must
forthwith
be
let
bloud
in
the
arme
,
and
in
the
temples
,
and
in
the
corner
of
the
eyes
:
if
it
be
possible
also
we
must
vse
cupping
glasses
vpon
the
shoulders
,
and
such
medicines
as
may
stay
inflamations
:
afterwards
,
we
must
vse
such
medicines

Amaurosis
is
commonly
an
hindrance
to

whole
sight
,
without
any
appearance
at
all
in
the
eye
,
for
the
apple
appeareth
sound

vnchanged
,
onely
the
Neruus
opticus
is
stopped
:
this
disease
is
vncurable
,
because
there
are
no

therefore
:
wherefore
as
yet
the
humor
being
not
setled

Aetius
doth
testifie
,
that
he
saw
one
that
did
recouer
the

with

Of
Opthalmia
,
or
infl●mation
of
the
aduata
,
or
coniunctiua
.
Chap.
6.
Opthalmia
is
properly
an
inflamation
of
the
Adnata
or
Coniunctiua
,
which
is
known
by
rednes
,
payne
,
heat
,
and
stretching
out
:
when
there
is
rednes
without
tumor
,
especially
by
some
outward
cause
,
as
by
dust
and
smoake
,
it
is
properly
called
Taraxis
:
when
the
white
of
the
eye
is
so
swollen
vpon
the
blacke
,
so
that
a
kinde
thereof
appeareth
to
hang
forth
,
it
is
then
called
Chemosis
:
some
affirme
it
to
be
Chemosis
when
the
Membrain
coniunctiua
is
higher
lifted
then
the
Cotnea
,
as
if
this
were
in
an
hole
,
which
besides
the
rednes
and
heat
causeth
the
eye-lids
to
be
turned
,
so
that
they
cannot
couer
the
eye
:
contrary
to
this
is
Phimosis
,
when
by
some
great
inflamation
the
eie-lids
doe
stick
fast
each
to
other
,
and
cannot
be
opened
,
but
the
hurt
which
they
receiue
is
but
an
accident
in
this
disease
.
Epiphora
,
is
generally
taken
for
a
suddaine
streame
of
humors
in
any
part
.
As
Pliny
calleth
epiphoram
vteri
or
ventris
,
notwithstanding
it
is
properly
vsed
for
the
affect
in
the
eies
:
when
with
great
inflamation
great
quantity
of
humors
flow
vnto
them
all
these
aforesaid
affects
do
accompany
each
other
:
the
causes
are
the
recourse
of
bloud
,
choler
,
flegme
,
and
melancholy
,
but
most
commonly
bloud
&
choler
:
the
generall
oure
for
this
disease
doth
consist
in
bloud-letting
,
diet
,
purging
by
the
aduise
of
a
learned
Phisition
because
Opthalmicis
Diarrheam
superuenire
bonum
est
,
we
must
not
omit
to
vse
cupping
glasses
vpon
the
Shoulders
with
scarification
which
wil
be
good
for
reuulsion
,
also
an
Astringent
frontall
to
intercept
the
fluxe
,
if
it
seeme
to
be
outwards
.
In
the
beginning
a
repellent
Collyrium
to
hinder
the
generation
of
Phlegmon
which
must
be
framed
of
the
muscilage
of
phillium
and
of
quinces
,
and
then
a
resoluing
Collyrium
of
the
muscilage
of
fenugreek
,
being
well
washed
from
its
byting
quality
.
Abstinence
from
wine
,
in
the
beginning
is
very
necessary
,
yet
in
the
declination
wine
may
be
permitted
euen
as
a
bath
of
sweet
water
,
to
contemperate
the
bloud
,
is
at
the
beginning
denied
,
least
it
should
cause
the
humor
to
shed
,
and
increase
the
defluxion
.
If
the
inflamation
do
continue
the
muscilages
beforsaid
shal
be
drawne
in
the
water
of
poppy
,
or
in
a
decoction
thereof
,
adding
thereunto
a
little
camphire
or
opium
,
and
apply
to
the
eie
this
cataplasme
.
Take

apples

,
and
with
the
white

you

carefull
to
renew

so

to

Of
the
suffusion
of
sight
called
Cataracta
.
Chap.
7.
Hypochyma
or
Cataracta
is
an
heape
of
superfluous
humors
made
thick
betweene
the
coate
Cornea
and
the
humor
crystalloydes
or
crystallinus
,
directly
vpon
the
apple
of
the
eie
,
swimming
aboue
the
aqueus
humor
in
that
place
,
which
Celsus
doth
affirme
to
be
voyd
and
empty
:
it
hindereth
the
sight
,
or
at
the
least
the
discerning
of
such
things
as
are
before
our
eies
.
Fernelius
appointeth
the
place
of
it
betweene
the
membraim
Vuea
and
the
Cristallin
humor
:
The
difference
thereof
is
borrowed
from
the
quantity
or
quality
;
from
the
quantity
,
when
it
is
whole
,
couering
all
the
compasse
of
the
apple
of
the
eie
,
in
such
sort
that
the
patient
cannot
see
any
thing
,
sometimes
it
doth
couer
onely
halfe
the
apple
of
the
eie
or
some
part
of
it
,
either
aboue
or
beneath
,
or
in
the
midst
,
in
such
manner
that
that
onely
part
of
the
thing
before
our
face
can
be
discerned
,
which
is
placed
against
the
part
of
the
eie
,
which
is
affected
:
Some
there
are
that
doe
contend
and
affirme
that
this
suffusion
is
no
disease
,
but
an
outward
moysture
collected
before
the
pupil
,
or
apple
of
the
eie
,
which
humidity
seeing
that
it
is
a
substance
doth
not
seeme
to
be
a
disease
,
because
it
is
a
quallity
,
and
is
placed
vnder
the
predicament
of
quality
:
but
to
leaue
an
ouer
curious
questioning
,
whether
it
be
a
disease
,
or
quality
,
we
will
proceed
to
the
cure
.
Now
to
proceed
in
order
to
the
cure
:
first
you
must
purge
the
braine
,
with
pils
that
are
proper
for
that
purpose
,
and
giue
them
to
the
patient
,
the
day
before
you
begin
your
cure
:
then
the
next
day
following
,
about
nine
of
the
clock
in
the
morning
,
the
patient
yet
fasting
,
(
prouided
that
the
cataract
be
ripe
,
and
confirmed
)
cause
him
to
sit
ouert
:
vhart
a
stoole
,
in
ryding
fashione
,
and
sit
on
the
same
stoole
face
to
face
,
and
make
the
parient
to
hold
his
sound
eie
closed
with
his
hand
,
and
in
that
sort
charge
him
to
sit
steadfastly
without
starting
,
or
stirring
in
any-wife
:
let
another
also
stand
behind
him
,
and
hold
his
head
very
stedfast
:
this
done
,
first
with
your
owne
hand
lift
vp
the
ouer-eie-lid
,
and
then
with
thy
other
hand
put
in
thy
needle
,
made
for
that
purpose
in
at
the
greater
corner
of
the
eie
,
and
finely
trilling
the
tunicle
called
saluatella
,
or
saluatrix
,
writh
alwaies
thy
finger
to
and
fro
,
till
thou
touch
with
the
point
of
thy
needle
the
corrupt
water
,
which
is
indeed
the
cataracte
:
and
then
begin
by
little
and
little
,
to
remoue
that
water
from
before
the
sight
,
to
the
corner
of
the
eie
,
and
keepe
it
there
with
the
point
of
your
needle
;
the
space
of
three
minuts
of
an
houre
,
and
then
remoue
your
needle
easily
from
it
,
and
if
it
happen
to
rise
againe
,
bring
it
back
the
second
time
:
but
this
you
must
beware
of
,
that
when
the
needle
hath
touched
the
catarract
,
you
doe
not
writh
it
about
with
your
fingers
to
and
fro
,
till
it
be
set
in
his
place
before
named
,
but
to
draw
it
thither
gently
,
and
when
you
haue
it
there
,
trill
the
needle
about
vntill
it
hath
gathered
the
water
about
it
,
and
then
pull
it
out
:
when
this
is
done
cause
him
to
shut
close
his
eie
,
and
apply
therevpon
a
plaster
of
flaxe
,
and
the
white
of
an
egge
,
and
cause
him
to
lie
in
his
bed
nine
daies
together
,
remouing
the
plaster
three
times
in
the
day
,
and
so
many
times
in
the
night
,
without
any
other
stirring
of
it
,
and
prouide
also
that
hee
lie
in
a
very
darke
place
,
and
let
him
be
kept
in
a
thin
diet
,
as
reare

and
white
bread
:
and
if
hee
be
young
,

let

otherwise
let

drinke
small

nourishment
would
offend
,
in
procreating
too
much
bloud
in

,
which
is
very
hurtfull
in
the
beginning
of
the
cure
.
When
the
ninth
day
is
past
,
let
him
arise
and
wash

Of
the
Aegilops
or
the
lacrimall
Fistula
.
Chap.
8.
Betweene
the
nostrills
and
the
greater
corner
of
the
eye
riseth
an
Aposthume
,
which
the
Grecians
do
call
Aegilops
,
that
is
,
oculus
Caprinus
a
Goats
eye
,
because
that
Goats
are
subiect
to
this
disease
,
wee
call
this
disease
,
Fistula
lacrimalis
.
This
Aegilops
may
happen
through
euery
humor
,
yet
neuerthelesse
it
happeneth
most
often
through
fleagme
,
seldome
through
bloud
,
but
seldome
or
neuer
from
choller
or
melancholly
:
the
flegmatick
humor
continually
flowing
by
the
flesh
of
the
lacrimall
corner
to
the
nostrils
,
and
sometimes
vnder
the
same
flesh
being
there
detained
,
doth
putrifie
and
breaketh
out
into
a
fistulous
vlcer
,
from
whence
certaine
doe
imagine
that
Aegilops
happeneth
alwaies
from
fleagme
;
and
by
bloud
also
this
disease
is
wont
to
bee
excited
,
but
not
so
often
as
with
fleagme
:
but
it
is
sufficient
to
know
that
this
lacrimall
fistula
happeneth
from
some
virulent
humor
and
that
which
is
corrosiue
.
As
concerning
the
cure
,
at
the
first
beginning
we
must
presently
vse
repellents
,
such
as
is
rose-water
and
the
white
of
an
egge
well
beaten
together
,
or
with
oyle
of
roses
mixt
with
vineger
:
which
oyle
must
be
boyled
to
the
consumption
of
the
vineger
:
then
adde
thereto
a
little
milke
:
wee
must
be
carefull
that
none
of
the
oyle
stick
to
the
eye
,
for
to
that
part
it
is
very
biting
:
or
apply
thereto
Halica
boyled
in
vineger
and
beaten
well
together
,
for
it
doth
not
onlye
help
them
in
the
beginning
,
but
after
they
alter
into
Apostume
;
and
doth
breake
them
and
pierce
euen
to
the
very
bone
:
or
a
medicine
framed
of
these
,
glaucium
,
saffron
,
and
the
iuyce
of
Pellitory
of
the
wall
,
but
the
medicine
must
be
oftentimes
changed
.
I
,
saith
,
Trallianus
,
haue
hindered
these
Aegilops
as
yet
not
growne
to
matter
by
the
vse
of
these
things
that
they
neuer
came
to
suppuration
:
or
the
place
is
to
be
anointed
with
a
Collyrium
which
doth
vehemently
stupifie
;
and
least
the
matter
should
happen
to
be
cold
we
take
bdellium
dissolued
in
vineger
with
oyle
of
Roses
which
may
be
mixed
therewith
,
or
Ammoniacum
and
the
iuyce
of
fennel
,
or
snailes
with
their
shells
;
sometime
with
Aloes
and
sometimes
with
Myrhe
mixed
,
and
so
apply
it
.
In
the
meane
time
wee
must
ordaine
a
diet
of
such
meate
as
is
of
good
nourishment
,
and
containing
but
few
superfluities
,
as
are
Chickins
,
Hens
,
Partriges
,
Fesants
,
Doues
,
Larkes
,
new
laid
Egges
,
Raisons
and
sweet
Almonds
:
let
his
drinke
be
Hydromell
or
wine
delayed
with
water
:
for
diuersion
of
the
humor
flowing
,
the
humerall
veine
of
that
side
in
the
arme
must
be
cut
,
or
some
other
diuersions
with
cupping
glasses
,
or
frictions
and
ligatures
must
bee
vsed
:
also
the
humors
abounding
,
digested
and
prepared
,
must
be
auoided
with
hiera
piera
,
or
hiera
logodion
,
or
with
pilles
of
cochia
,
or
by
clysters
and
sharpe
Suppositories
,
neither
will
one
purgation
suffice
,
but
diuers
and
often
reiterated
:
but
if
the
disease
doe
continue
,
wee
must
vse
topicall
meanes
and
such
as
are
discussiue
.
