The
first
Discourse
vpon
Wounds
made
by
Gun-shot
,
and
other
fierie
Engines
.
IN
the
yeere
of
our
Lord
,
1536.
the
victorious
King
Frances
sent
a
great
Army
vnto
Piedmont
to
victual
Thurin
,
and
to
recouer
those
Townes
and
Castles
which
had
bene
taken
by
the
Marquesse
Du
Guast
,
Lieutenant
Generall
of
the
Emperor
,
where
Mounsieur
the
Constable
,
then
Great
Master
,
was
Lieutenant
generall
of
the
Army
,
and
Mounsieur
de
Monte-jan
captaine
generall
of
the
Foote-men
(
of
whom
I
was
then
Chirurgian
.
)
A
great
part
of
the
army
arriued
at
the
Pas
of
Suze
,
Pas
of
Suze
.
wher
we
found
the
enemie
keeping
the
passage
,
and
had
made
vnto
themselues
certain
Forts
and
Trenches
;
in
such
sort
,
that
before
they
could
be
raised
from
thence
,
we
entred
into
battell
:
in
which
conflict
there
was
many
hurt
and
slaine
,
as
well
on
the
one
side
as
on
the
other
.
But
they
were
inforced
to
quit
that
passage
,
and
to
recouer
the
Castle
;
which
they
helde
not
long
,
but
were
compelled
to
giue
it
vp
;
marching
away
in
their
shirts
onely
,
hauing
each
of
them
a
white
wand
in
their
hands
:
of
whom
,
the
most
part
went
to
the
Castle
de
Villane
,
The
Castle
de
Villane
besie●ed
&
taken
.
where
there
was
about
some
two
hundred
Spaniards
.
To
this
castle
my
Lord
the
Constable
drew
his
forces
,
beecause
he
would
make
his
way
cleere
before
him
.
It
is
situate
vpon
a
little
Mountaine
,
which
giueth
great
assurance
to
those
within
,
that
there
can
bee
no
Ordinance
planted
against
it
to
batter
it
down
.
They
were
summoned
to
restore
it
vp
,
or
else
were
threatned
to
haue
it
battered
in
pieces
;
which
they
flatly
refused
:
answering
withal
,
that
they
were
as
good
and
faithfull
seruants
to
the
Emperour
,
as
Mounsieur
the
Constable
was
to
the
King
his
Master
.
Their
answere
being
vnderstoode
,
the
same
night
there
was
mounted
two
great
Cannons
,
by
the
force
of
armes
with
ropes
and
cordes
,
by
the
Switzers
,
where
(
as
mis-fortune
would
)
those
cannons
being
planted
,
a
Gunner
by
indiscretion
fired
a
barrell
of
Gun-pouder
,
wherewith
hee
himselfe
was
extreamely
burned
,
together
with
tenne
or
twelue
souldiers
.
Moreouer
,
the
flame
of
the
pouder
was
the
cause
of
the
discouery
of
the
Ordinance
,
whereby
those
of
the
castle
the
night
following
discharged
their
Ordinance
at
that
place
where
they
discouered
our
cannons
;
in
so
much
,
that
we
had
many
of
our
men
hurt
and
slaine
.
The
morrow
after
,
very
early
we
began
the
battery
,
and
in
few
houres
after
the
breach
was
made
;
which
those
of
the
castle
perceiuing
,
desired
a
parley
,
but
it
was
too
late
;
for
in
the
mean
time
some
of
our
footmen
perceiuing
them
to
be
astonished
,
mounted
the
Breach
,
and
entred
the
castle
,
putting
euery
man
to
the
sword
,
except
onely
a
certaine
beautifull
Piedmontese
,
which
a
great
Lorde
entertained
into
his
seruice
.
The
Captaine
and
Ancient
were
taken
aliue
,
but
were
presently
after
hanged
on
the
gate
of
the
Towne
,
to
terrifie
the
rest
of
the
Emperors
souldiers
,
not
to
be
so
foole-hardy
to
hold
such
places
against
so
great
an
Armie
.
Now
the
soldiers
of
the
castle
seeing
our
men
rushing
in
vpon
them
in
such
great
furie
,
made
all
the
resistance
they
could
to
defend
themselues
,
in
killing
and
wounding
a
great
number
of
our
souldiers
with
their
Pikes
and
Muskets
;
where
the
Chirurgians
had
a
great
deale
of
work
cut
out
to
their
hands
.
I
was
at
that
time
but
a
yong
Chirurgian
,
The
Author
entereth
into
the
matter
.
and
but
little
experienced
in
the
Art
,
because
I
neuer
(
as
yet
)
had
seene
the
curation
of
any
Woundes
made
by
Gunne-shot
.
True
it
is
,
that
I
had
read
Iohn
de
Vigo
his
first
booke
of
woundes
in
generall
,
chap.
8.
where
he
saith
,
That
those
woundes
made
by
fiery
Engines
,
do
participate
of
venenosity
,
because
of
the
Pouder
;
and
for
their
curation
,
hee
commandeth
to
cauterize
them
with
the
Oyle
of
Elders
mixed
with
a
little
Treacle
:
yet
neuerthelesse
,
because
I
would
not
be
deceiued
,
before
I
would
vse
of
the
aforesaid
boyling
oyle
,
knowing
that
it
brought
with
it
extreame
paine
to
the
Patient
,
I
obserued
the
method
of
the
other
Chirurgians
in
the
first
dressing
of
such
wounds
;
which
was
by
the
application
and
infusion
of
the
aforesaide
Oyle
as
hot
as
possibly
they
could
suffer
it
,
with
Tents
and
Setons
:
wherefore
,
I
became
emboldned
to
do
as
they
did
.
But
in
the
end
my
oyle
fayled
mee
,
A
remedie
found
by
accident
.
so
that
I
was
constrained
to
vse
in
steede
thereof
,
a
digestiue
made
of
the
yolke
of
an
Egge
,
Oyle
of
Roses
and
Terebinth
.
The
night
following
,
I
could
hardly
sleepe
at
mine
ease
,
fearing
lest
that
for
want
of
cauterizing
,
I
should
find
my
Patients
on
whom
I
had
not
vsed
of
the
aforesayde
Oyle
,
dead
and
impoysoned
;
which
made
mee
to
rise
earely
in
the
morning
to
visit
them
:
where
beyond
my
expectation
,
I
found
those
on
whom
I
had
vsed
the
digestiue
Medicine
,
to
feele
but
little
paine
,
and
their
wounds
without
inflammation
or
tumor
,
hauing
rested
well
all
that
night
.
The
rest
,
on
whom
the
aforesaide
Oyle
was
applyed
,
I
found
them
inclining
to
Feauers
,
with
great
pain
,
tumor
,
and
inflammation
about
their
Woundes
:
then
I
resolued
with
my selfe
,
neuer
to
burn
so
cruelly
the
wounded
Patients
by
Gunshot
any
more
.
When
we
entred
Thurin
,
I
was
told
of
a
Chirurgian
who
was
exceeding
famous
,
especially
for
his
curing
wounds
made
by
Gun-shot
,
with
whom
I
found
the
meanes
to
acquaint
my selfe
:
yet
it
was
neere
two
yeeres
and
a
halfe
before
hee
would
acquaint
me
with
his
Medicine
which
hee
called
his
Balme
.
In
the
meane
time
,
Mounsieur
the
Marshall
of
Monte-jan
,
who
was
Lieutenant
Generall
of
the
King
in
Piedmont
died
:
then
I
tolde
this
Chirurgian
,
that
I
had
a
desire
to
returne
to
Paris
,
withall
requesting
him
,
that
he
would
perform
his
promise
;
which
was
,
to
giue
me
the
receipt
of
his
Balme
,
which
he
willingly
did
,
seeing
that
I
was
to
leaue
that
country
.
He
sent
me
to
fetch
him
two
yong
whelpes
,
one
pound
of
earth-wormes
,
two
pounds
of
the
oyle
of
Lillies
,
six
ounces
of
the
Terebinth
of
Venice
,
and
one
ounce
of
Aqua-vitae
:
and
in
my
presence
he
boiled
the
whelpes
aliue
in
the
saide
Oyle
,
vntill
the
flesh
departed
from
the
bones
.
Afterward
,
he
tooke
the
wormes
(
hauing
before
killed
and
pu●ified
them
in
white
wine
,
to
purge
themselues
of
the
earth
which
they
haue
alwayes
in
their
bodies
:
)
being
so
prepared
,
he
boyled
them
also
in
the
said
Oyle
till
they
became
dry
,
this
he
strained
thorough
a
Napkin
,
without
anie
great
expression
;
that
done
,
hee
added
thereto
the
Terebinth
,
and
lastly
,
the
Aqua-vitae
;
and
called
God
to
witnesse
,
that
this
was
his
Balme
which
he
vsed
in
all
wound●
made
by
Gun-shot
,
and
in
others
which
required
suppuration
;
withall
praying
me
not
to
divulge
his
secret
.
From
thence
I
returned
to
Paris
,
where
shortly
after
Mounsieur
Siluius
Lecturer
of
the
King
in
Physicke
,
a
man
greatly
esteemed
among
learned
men
,
requested
me
one
day
to
dine
with
him
,
which
I
did
willingly
;
where
hee
asked
me
many
Questions
,
and
among
the
rest
,
of
the
essence
of
wounds
made
by
Gun-shot
,
and
of
the
combustions
made
by
Gun-pouder
.
Whereupon
,
I
presently
proued
vnto
him
,
that
the
powder
was
not
any
thing
venomous
at
all
;
Gunpouder
not
venomous
.
because
that
no
Simple
that
entreth
therein
is
any
way
venomous
,
much
lesse
the
composition
.
Also
I
haue
seene
by
experience
,
that
some
souldiers
being
hurt
,
will
take
of
the
sayde
powder
in
Wine
,
saying
;
That
powder
so
taken
,
doth
preserue
the
body
from
the
ensuing
accidents
,
the
which
I
approue
not
.
Also
others
hauing
vlcers
on
their
bodies
,
do
commonly
vse
of
the
saide
powder
dry
,
and
heale
them
without
any
danger
at
all
.
And
as
for
the
Bullets
they
cannot
containe
any
such
heate
that
they
should
haue
the
faculty
of
burning
:
for
a
bullet
beeing
shot
against
a
stone-wall
,
it
may
presently
be
held
in
the
naked
hande
,
although
the
collission
made
against
the
Stones
,
Woundes
made
by
gu●shot
are
without
combustion
should
in
reason
heate
it
the
more
:
&
as
for
combustions
or
burnings
made
by
Gun-powder
,
I
neuer
found
any
particular
accident
in
it
,
whereby
the
cure
ought
to
bee
diuersified
from
the
cure
of
other
combustions
.
Whereupon
,
I
related
this
Historie
.
Historie
.
A
certaine
boy
of
the
Kitchin
,
of
Mounsieur
the
Marshall
de
Monte-jan
,
fell
into
a
Caldron
full
of
Oyle
almost
boyling
hotte
;
to
dresse
whom
being
sent
for
,
I
went
presently
to
an
Apothecarie
,
demanding
of
him
such
cooling
Medicines
which
are
commonly
applied
vnto
burnings
:
an
ancient
country-woman
being
by
,
hearing
mee
speake
of
this
burning
,
counselled
me
to
apply
for
the
first
dressing
(
to
preuent
the
rising
of
Pustules
or
bladders
)
of
raw
Onions
,
bruised
with
a
little
salt
.
I
demanded
of
this
woman
whether
shee
had
euer
made
experience
of
that
Medicine
before
:
she
presently
sware
vnto
me
in
her
language
,
Yea
Sir
,
by
the
Faith
of
God
.
Si
messé
,
à
lafe
de
dé
;
which
did
incite
mee
to
make
experience
hereof
on
this
Scullion
of
the
kitchin
,
where
truely
I
found
the
morrow
after
,
that
in
those
parts
where
the
Onions
had
touched
,
to
bee
altogether
free
from
vessickes
or
blisters
,
and
the
other
parts
where
the
Onions
were
not
applied
,
to
bee
much
blistered
.
Not
long
after
,
a
certaine
Dutch-man
,
one
of
the
Guard
of
the
saide
Lord
de
Monte-jan
,
Histo●ie
.
hauing
drunke
hard
,
by
indiscretion
set
his
Flaske
afire
,
which
caused
a
great
disaster
both
to
his
hands
and
face
;
and
being
called
to
dresse
him
,
I
applyed
of
the
saide
Onions
on
the
one
halfe
of
his
face
;
and
on
the
other
side
,
of
other
common
remedies
.
At
the
second
dressing
,
I
founde
that
part
where
I
had
applyed
the
Onions
to
be
altogether
without
blisters
or
any
excorlation
,
and
the
other
altogether
blistred
:
then
I
first
purposed
to
write
of
the
effect
of
the
saide
Onions
.
Moreouer
,
I
tolde
vnto
the
saide
Syluius
,
How
the
patient
ough●
to
be
s●tuate
in
the
extraction
of
Bullets
.
that
for
the
better
extraction
of
bullets
which
are
hidden
in
anie
part
of
the
bodie
,
it
is
requisite
the
patient
should
be
placed
in
the
same
situation
that
he
was
in
at
that
time
when
he
was
wounded
.
Manie
other
things
I
discouered
vnto
him
,
which
are
contained
in
this
Booke
following
.
My
discourse
ended
,
he
prayed
mee
verie
earnestly
that
I
would
publish
it
by
writing
;
to
the
end
,
that
that
false
opinion
of
Vigo
might
be
altogether
abollished
the
which
I
willingly
consented
vnto
,
and
caused
manie
instruments
to
be
cut
,
such
as
had
not
bene
divulged
,
for
the
extraction
of
bullets
,
&
other
vnnatural
things
out
of
the
bodie
.
And
it
was
first
imprinted
in
the
yeare
1545.
and
well
receiued
,
which
caused
me
to
renew
it
againe
,
and
publish
it
the
second
time
,
in
the
yeare
1552.
and
lastly
,
in
the
yeare
1564.
where
I
haue
enriched
it
with
manie
other
things
,
because
I
haue
since
followed
the
warres
,
haue
bene
in
many
battels
,
and
besiedged
Townes
,
as
in
Metz
and
Hedin
.
Also
I
haue
beene
entertained
into
the
seruice
of
fiue
Kings
,
where
I
haue
alwayes
discoursed
with
the
most
excellent
Physitians
&
Chirurgians
of
those
times
,
to
learne
and
discouer
if
there
were
any
other
Method
or
way
to
cure
those
wounds
made
by
Gunne-shot
;
whereof
the
most
part
(
especially
those
that
haue
followed
the
warres
,
and
are
guided
by
reason
and
experience
)
are
of
my
opinion
,
which
is
to
vse
Suppuratiues
in
the
beginning
,
and
not
boyling
oyles
.
And
I
did
protest
moreouer
to
the
said
Syluius
,
that
I
haue
found
those
woundes
as
easie
to
cure
(
being
in
fleshy
parts
)
as
all
other
great
contused
wounds
are
.
But
where
the
bullet
meeteth
with
the
bones
and
neruous
parts
,
it
teareth
,
dilacerateth
,
breaketh
,
The
cause
that
maketh
woundes
by
Gunne
shot
hard
to
bee
cured
.
breaketh
,
and
shiuereth
in
peeces
,
not
only
where
it
toucheth
,
but
also
the
circumiacent
parts
,
without
any
mercy
;
causing
great
accidents
which
happen
specialy
in
the
iounctures
or
ioynts
,
and
in
bodies
of
euill
constitution
,
and
in
times
subiect
to
corruption
;
that
is
to
say
,
where
the
ayre
is
hot
and
moist
,
then
is
the
cure
most
difficult
,
&
oftentimes
impossible
;
not
only
of
wounds
made
by
Gun-shot
,
but
also
of
those
which
are
made
by
other
instruments
,
yea
,
though
they
were
but
in
fleshy
parts
.
Therefore
,
the
aforesaide
accidents
doe
not
proeeede
from
the
venenosity
which
is
in
the
powder
,
or
by
the
combustion
or
burning
of
the
Bullet
.
For
proofe
whereof
,
History
.
I
will
alledge
this
obseruation
which
I
haue
experimented
not
long
since
on
the
person
of
the
Earle
of
Courdon
,
Lord
of
Achindon
,
a
Scottishman
,
whome
I
cured
by
the
commandement
of
the
Queene-mother
,
who
was
hurt
with
the
shot
of
a
Pistoll
cleane
through
both
the
Thighes
,
without
fracture
of
the
bones
;
he
standing
so
neere
the
mouth
of
the
Pistoll
,
that
the
fire
tooke
hold
of
his
breeches
;
neuerthelesse
,
hee
was
perfectly
cured
in
two
and
thirty
dayes
,
without
a
Feauer
or
any
other
euill
accident
.
I
drest
him
at
Sir
Iohn
de
Latran
,
in
the
house
of
the
Arch-byshoppe
of
Glasco
,
then
Ambassador
for
Scotland
,
who
came
euerie
day
to
see
him
drest
.
Moreouer
for
testimony
,
I
could
produce
Mounsieur
Brigard
,
Doctor
Regent
in
the
Facultie
of
Physicke
,
who
was
an
assistant
with
me
:
together
with
Iames
Guillemean
Chirurgian
to
the
King
,
&
sworne
at
Paris
,
who
was
with
mee
vntill
his
perfect
curation
.
The
same
likewise
Mounsieur
Hanti●
,
Doctor
Regent
in
the
faculty
of
Physicke
can
testifie
,
who
sometimes
came
to
see
him
.
Also
Giles
Buzet
,
Scotchman
and
Chirurgian
,
euerie
of
them
meruailing
how
he
became
so
soone
cured
without
the
application
of
hot
and
sharp
Medicines
.
Now
the
reasons
wherfore
I
haue
made
this
little
Discourse
,
is
to
demonstrate
that
it
is
aboue
thirty
yeares
ago
,
since
I
first
found
out
this
manner
of
curing
wounds
made
by
Gunne-shot
,
without
the
vse
of
boyling
Oyles
,
or
anie
other
sharpe
or
burning
Medicines
,
vnlesse
I
was
constrain'd
to
vse
them
for
such
accidents
which
happened
in
Cacochymed
bodies
,
or
through
the
euill
disposition
and
malignancie
of
the
ayre
,
as
I
will
shew
more
amply
in
this
Discourse
following
,
which
I
made
vnto
the
deceased
King
,
after
the
taking
of
Roan
.
Another
Discourse
,
being
an
Answere
vnto
a
certaine
Demand
propounded
by
the
victorious
Prince
Charles
the
ninth
,
as
touching
the
quality
and
Essence
of
Woundes
made
by
Gun-shot
at
his
Maiesties
returne
from
the
siedge
,
and
taking
of
the
Towne
of
Roan
.
IT
one
day
pleased
your
Maiesty
,
Occasion
of
this
discourse
.
together
with
the
Queene
Mother
,
my
Lorde
the
Prince
of
La
Roche-sur
Yon
,
and
many
other
Princes
and
great
Lords
,
to
demand
of
me
how
it
came
to
passe
that
in
these
last
Warres
,
the
most
part
of
such
Gentlemen
and
Souldiers
,
who
were
wounded
by
Gun-shot
,
and
other
instruments
of
warre
died
,
or
were
very
hardly
recouered
from
their
diseases
,
although
the
wounds
which
they
receiued
were
but
of
small
apparance
,
and
the
Chirurgians
which
were
employed
for
their
cures
,
did
performe
their
duties
according
to
Art
;
I
haue
bene
the
bolder
to
publish
this
discourse
,
to
satisfie
in
some
measure
the
duty
of
my
Ar●
,
and
that
my
profession
might
not
be
spo●ted
with
the
least
dishonor
,
and
that
your
Maiesty
might
vnderstand
the
reasons
which
might
haue
beene
the
cause
of
the
death
of
so
many
valiant
men
;
the
most
part
of
whom
I
haue
seene
(
to
my
great
greefe
)
to
finish
their
daies
pittifully
,
without
any
possibility
in
mee
,
or
any
other
more
experienced
then
my selfe
to
giue
them
remedy
.
●●sinuation
into
the
good
accept●nce
of
those
who
are
of
the
contrary
opi●ion
.
I
know
that
this
following
discourse
will
astonish
some
,
who
reposing
themselues
vppon
their
owne
particular
opinions
,
and
not
examining
the
matter
deepely
,
will
finde
the
first
front
of
my
disputation
very
strange
,
because
that
the
contrarie
hath
beene
so
long
imprinted
in
their
fantasies
.
For
I
do
hold
,
that
the
cause
of
the
malignancy
of
wounds
by
Gun-shot
,
not
to
proceed
from
anie
poison
or
venomous
quality
in
the
powder
(
as
they
imagine
)
or
from
the
bullet
it selfe
,
beeing
rubbed
or
infused
in
any
venomous
mixture
.
Neuerthelesse
,
if
their
meekenesse
and
patience
will
extend
so
far
,
as
first
to
waigh
the
motiues
which
first
mooued
me
to
vndertake
this
subiect
,
which
was
a
zeal
of
the
publike
good
;
towards
the
which
the
Law
of
Nature
bindeth
mee
to
shew
the
vtmost
of
my
power
in
such
things
which
the
singular
prouidence
of
God
hath
reuealed
vnto
mee
.
And
secondly
,
that
they
will
examine
with
iudgement
the
reasons
which
I
shall
vse
in
this
present
Treatise
,
then
I
shall
bee
sure
,
they
will
both
accept
my
labours
thankefully
,
and
free
it
from
all
future
calumny
;
otherwise
they
will
shew
themselues
to
be
so
●uill
affectioned
towards
me
,
as
if
I
should
present
my selfe
before
them
,
enriched
with
all
the
treasures
of
the
ancient
Philosophers
,
and
they
should
place
mee
in
the
number
of
the
poorest
and
ignorantest
men
in
the
worlde
.
To
preuent
therefore
all
the
arguments
of
venome
and
poisoning
,
which
the
aduersaries
here
aboue
mentioned
may
alledge
,
I
will
make
it
plaine
vnto
your
Maiesty
,
that
such
as
are
wounded
by
gun-shot
,
The
Author
proposeth
two
points
,
whi●h
h●e
wold
refute
.
viz.
the
poyson
of
the
powder
and
the
Fire
of
the
Bullet
.
I
say
the
malignancie
of
such
wounds
not
to
proceed
from
the
venom
of
the
Powder
,
being
of
it selfe
simply
considered
:
and
much
lesse
from
the
combustion
or
cauterization
which
the
Bullet
so
heated
by
the
fire
of
the
powder
can
make
in
those
parts
,
which
it
rendeth
&
dilacerateth
thorough
the
violence
thereof
:
although
neuerthelesse
some
do
striue
to
maintaine
;
alledging
for
all
reasons
,
that
a
certaine
Tower
full
of
powder
hath
heeretofore
bene
seene
ruinated
in
an
instant
,
onely
by
the
meanes
of
a
Cannon
shotte
.
Also
of
a
Thatcht
house
set
on
fire
with
a
Musket
shot
.
Moreouer
,
because
that
such
woundes
which
are
made
by
Gun-shot
,
we
commonly
beholde
their
Orifices
and
other
circumiacent
parts
so
black
,
as
if
an
actuall
Cauter
had
passed
thereon
.
As
also
the
fall
of
a
certaine
escarre
,
as
they
say
.
Al
which
arguments
are
so
ill
framed
,
that
they
deserue
no
authority
being
built
on
so
slender
a
foundation
:
much
lesse
that
the
resolution
of
your
demaund
should
be
taken
from
them
,
as
I
trust
to
giue
you
plainely
to
vnderstand
in
the
disputation
following
.
The
which
(
after
I
had
seene
a
great
number
of
those
woundes
,
and
diligently
obserued
them
,
handling
them
according
to
the
Method
)
I
haue
collected
from
the
ancient
Philosophers
,
Physitians
,
The
prese●t
disputation
is
taken
from
Philosophers
,
Physitians
,
and
Chirurgians
and
Chirurgians
to
present
vnto
your
Maiesty
,
and
to
with-draw
your
minde
from
the
admiration
of
the
lamentable
deaths
of
so
manie
braue
Gentlemen
and
Soldiers
.
Now
to
enter
into
the
matter
proposed
,
and
to
answer
the
arguments
before
alledged
,
we
are
first
to
examine
whether
there
be
any
poison
inclosed
in
the
powder
,
or
no
:
And
if
there
be
,
whether
it
may
infect
by
meanes
of
the
pretended
poyson
thereof
.
Which
that
it
may
appeare
plainly
,
wee
must
search
into
the
composition
of
the
said
pouder
;
considering
that
it
is
not
of
substance
simple
,
but
compound
:
and
so
by
examining
the
nature
of
such
Simple
which
enter
into
the
composition
thereof
;
I
meane
their
qualities
,
effects
,
and
operations
,
wee
shall
the
sooner
attaine
to
the
scope
and
intention
pretended
.
As
for
the
Simples
,
it
is
a
most
assured
thing
that
there
are
but
three
in
al
which
make
the
composition
thereof
,
The
composition
of
the
powder
.
that
is
to
say
,
Coales
of
Willow
or
Birch
,
Sulphure
,
and
Salt-peter
,
&
sometimes
Aqua-vitae
:
the
which
ingredients
seuerally
considered
,
are
altogether
exempt
&
free
from
poison
,
or
any
venomous
quality
.
And
first
for
the
coales
,
there
is
not
any
thing
considerable
in
them
,
vnlesse
it
be
a
drying
quality
,
of
subtle
substance
,
by
meanes
whereof
it
is
apt
to
take
fire
,
euen
as
a
Linnen
cloth
burnt
into
Tinder
doth
the
sparkes
that
fall
from
a
Flint
stone
.
Sulphure
is
hot
and
dry
,
neuerthelesse
not
excessiue
,
and
of
a
more
oyly
and
viscuous
substance
,
yet
not
so
easie
to
inflame
as
coales
,
although
it
doth
retaine
the
fire
more
forcibly
when
it
is
once
inflamed
,
&
is
very
hardly
extinguished
.
As
for
the
Salt-peter
,
it
is
such
,
Salt-peter
is
salt
of
stones
.
that
many
make
vse
thereof
insteede
of
salt
.
Now
let
vs
examine
whether
there
be
any
venenosity
in
the
nature
of
these
Simples
,
namely
,
in
that
of
Sulphure
,
which
is
the
most
suspected
.
Dioscorides
in
his
fift
Booke
,
chap.
37.
prescribeth
it
to
be
taken
in
an
Egge
,
in
the
astmaticke
passion
,
coughes
,
and
to
such
which
spit
matter
,
and
those
that
haue
the
Iaundise
.
And
Galen
in
the
9.
Book
of
his
Simples
,
Cap.
36.
ordaineth
it
as
a
topicall
remedy
,
vnto
such
who
are
bitten
with
venomous
beasts
;
and
in
all
malignant
practises
or
itchings
;
as
for
the
Aquavitae
,
it
is
a
thing
so
subtle
,
that
it
will
euaporate
if
it
be
set
in
the
aire
,
besides
it
is
vsed
by
most
Chirurgians
inwardlie
in
drinkes
,
and
outwardly
in
embrocations
as
a
most
singular
Medicines
.
These
thinges
considered
,
makes
me
to
affirme
,
that
the
whole
composition
of
pouder
is
altogether
free
from
venome
or
poison
,
seeing
that
the
ingredients
are
altogether
cleere
from
the
least
touch
in
that
kinde
.
Moreouer
,
I
haue
obserued
it
to
bee
the
practise
of
the
Hollanders
being
wounded
by
Gun-shot
,
to
dissolue
two
charges
of
pouder
in
wine
,
and
to
drink
it
off
,
hoping
by
that
meanes
to
be
freed
from
all
future
accidents
which
might
happen
vnto
theyr
wounds
(
although
I
do
not
approue
thereof
,
because
it
is
a
most
insufficient
remedy
.
)
Also
,
such
Vlcers
which
are
made
through
the
combustion
of
powder
,
are
of
no
other
nature
then
those
that
are
made
by
fire
,
or
scalding
water
.
But
wherefore
should
I
alledge
any
forraigne
example
?
Do
we
not
see
among
our
owne
souldiers
,
I
doe
not
know
on
what
occasion
,
but
onely
to
shew
themselues
braue
fellowes
,
to
emptie
their
charges
of
powder
into
their
cups
,
and
drinke
it
without
any
inconuenience
at
all
;
and
others
likewise
beeing
hurt
on
any
part
of
their
bodies
,
will
apply
of
the
same
on
their
Vlcers
to
dry
them
,
and
finde
much
profit
by
it
.
Refutation
of
those
that
affirme
the
Bullet
to
be
impoisoned
.
As
for
those
which
do
affirme
that
it
is
not
in
the
powder
,
but
the
Bullet
,
which
being
subtilly
pierced
in
many
places
,
or
filled
vp
with
venome
,
or
steeped
,
rubbed
,
or
mixed
with
anie
poyson
,
causeth
the
aforesaide
dangerous
accidents
?
To
such
I
answer
without
further
trouble
,
that
the
fire
set
to
the
powder
,
is
sufficient
to
purifie
the
poyson
of
the
Bullet
,
if
any
there
were
▪
the
which
cannot
be
done
by
impoysoned
swords
,
Pikes
,
Arrowes
,
and
such
like
,
because
they
passe
not
through
the
action
of
the
fire
.
Briefly
to
confirme
my
opinion
to
be
true
,
there
is
not
anie
one
of
those
that
were
in
your
Maiesties
Camp●
at
Roan
,
that
doeth
not
assuredly
know
,
that
those
Bullets
which
were
shot
against
those
of
the
town
to
be
altogether
free
from
poison
.
Neuerthelesse
,
the
besiedged
Townesmen
affirmed
,
that
all
those
Bullets
were
poysoned
.
Also
the
Souldiours
of
your
Maiesties
Campe
had
the
same
opinion
of
such
Bullets
which
were
shot
at
them
out
of
the
Towne
,
that
they
were
all
impoysoned
by
them
;
rather
beleeuing
and
iudging
of
the
quality
of
the
wounds
by
their
ill
successe
;
then
by
the
Causes
whereby
they
were
made
.
True
it
is
,
that
as
in
Physicke
according
to
the
sentence
of
Hippocrates
in
the
Epidemies
;
as
Gale●
noteth
on
the
20.
sentence
,
and
the
71.
of
the
3
Sect.
of
the
3.
Book
,
all
diseases
are
cald
Pestilentiall
and
venomous
,
being
excited
from
common
and
generall
causes
of
what
kinde
soeuer
they
be
,
and
such
kill
many
persons
:
so
in
the
like
manner
,
we
may
cal
such
wounds
which
are
made
by
gunshot
venomous
,
which
are
more
difficult
to
heale
then
others
;
not
because
they
do
participate
of
any
venonosity
,
but
from
some
generall
cause
depending
either
from
the
Cacochimie
of
the
body
,
putrification
of
the
aire
,
or
the
corruption
of
the
victuals
,
whereby
those
Vlcers
are
brought
to
be
more
malignant
Cacoëthes
,
and
rebellious
to
al
Medicines
.
To
affirme
that
it
is
only
the
combustion
of
the
Bullet
which
causeth
the
aforesaide
danger
,
Refutation
of
those
that
affirme
that
the
Bullet
causeth
combustion
.
I
cannot
conceiue
their
reasons
,
seeing
that
the
Bullet
is
for
the
most
part
made
but
of
Lead
,
and
therefore
vnable
to
indure
any
great
heate
,
without
being
altogether
dissolued
,
the
which
we
neuerthelesse
see
to
passe
through
a
coate
Armour
,
and
to
penetrate
the
body
through
and
through
,
and
yet
to
remaine
whole
.
Moreouer
,
we
doe
obserue
,
that
if
a
Bullet
be
shot
against
a
stone
,
or
against
any
solid
matter
,
it
may
in
the
same
instant
bee
handled
of
vs
in
our
hands
,
without
feeling
anie
notable
heate
,
although
the
violent
striking
and
colli●sion
made
against
the
stone
,
should
in
reason
encrease
the
hea●e
,
if
any
there
were
.
And
which
is
more
,
if
a
Bullet
be
shot
against
a
bagge
full
of
powder
,
the
fire
will
not
endanger
it
.
This
I
dare
bee
bolde
to
say
and
affirme
moreouer
,
that
if
a
quantity
of
powder
should
take
fire
being
kepte
in
a
Tower
,
or
any
other
place
,
by
the
meanes
of
a
Bullet
shot
,
it
was
not
the
heate
of
the
Bullet
,
but
rather
the
violent
striking
of
the
Bullet
against
the
stones
of
the
saide
Tower
,
which
might
cause
sparkes
of
fire
to
fall
among
the
powder
,
euen
as
the
smiting
of
a
steele
against
a
flint
stone
.
The
like
we
may
iudge
of
such
Thatcht
houses
which
haue
bene
set
on
fire
by
a
Musket
shot
,
to
haue
rather
proceeded
from
some
wad
either
of
Tow
or
Paper
,
ram'd
in
with
the
powder
,
and
so
fired
with
it
.
But
that
which
doth
most
confirme
me
in
the
assurance
of
my
opinion
,
is
,
that
if
a
bal
of
wax
be
shot
out
of
a
Muske●
,
An
example
of
a
ball
of
wax
.
it
feeleth
no
force
of
fire
at
all
,
for
then
it
would
melt
;
neuerthelesse
it
wil
pierce
an
inch
boord
.
An
argument
of
sufficient
weight
to
proue
that
the
Bullet
cannot
be
so
extreamely
heated
by
the
force
of
the
Powder
,
that
they
should
cauterize
and
burne
,
as
many
haue
esteemed
.
And
as
for
that
blacknesse
,
which
is
ordinarily
found
to
bee
about
the
Orifices
of
such
wounds
,
and
other
ad●acent
parts
.
I
say
that
this
accident
doeth
not
proceede
from
any
qualitie
of
fire
accompanying
the
Bullet
,
but
because
of
the
great
contusion
which
it
maketh
.
Whence
it
p●o●e●deth
▪
that
wou●d●
m●de
by
Gunshot
are
●●dinarily
blacke
.
For
it
cannot
enter
into
the
body
otherwise
then
by
an
extreme
and
incredible
force
,
because
it
is
of
a
rounde
figure
.
Vpon
this
point
,
if
the
wounded
persons
themselues
be
demanded
,
I
beleeue
they
will
testifie
the
truth
of
my
saying
;
because
they
are
no
sooner
strooke
with
the
bullet
,
but
they
feel
in
the
same
instant
,
as
if
a
club
or
some
heauie
burthen
were
fallen
vpon
the
offended
part
,
in
the
which
they
feele
a
heauy
paine
,
with
a
benummed
stupifaction
of
the
part
;
which
dissipateth
and
sometimes
extinguisheth
the
naturall
heate
,
together
with
the
spirits
contained
therein
:
from
whence
there
followeth
oftentimes
a
Gangrene
and
mortification
of
the
part
,
yea
sometimes
of
the
whole
body
.
And
as
for
the
Escarre
which
they
affirme
there
to
be
,
and
fall
away
as
they
say
,
they
doe
abuse
themselues
:
for
it
is
onely
some
certain
portion
of
the
Membranes
and
contused
flesh
,
dilacerated
by
the
Bullet
,
which
becommeth
corrupted
,
and
so
separateth
it selfe
from
the
sound
parts
which
are
greatly
contused
.
Although
that
these
Reasons
do
make
it
manifest
enough
,
Reasons
of
those
of
contra●y
opinion
that
there
is
no
venomous
quality
in
the
powder
,
nor
action
of
fire
carried
with
the
Bullet
,
neuerthelesse
many
building
their
opinions
vpon
naturall
Philosophy
,
doe
maintaine
the
contrary
,
affirming
that
Cannon
shot
is
like
vnto
the
claps
of
Thunder
which
burst
foorth
of
the
clouds
in
the
middle
Region
of
the
aire
▪
and
so
fall
violently
on
the
earth
.
From
the
which
similitude
they
would
infer
and
conclude
,
that
there
is
both
fire
,
and
a
venomous
quality
in
the
Bullet
,
as
it
proceedeth
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
Cannon
.
I
know
(
I
thanke
God
)
that
Thunder
being
ingendered
from
a
grosse
and
viscuous
exhalation
,
by
meanes
of
vapour
conioyned
with
it
,
doth
neuer
breake
foorth
of
the
clouds
to
penetrate
heere
below
,
but
it
draweth
and
bringeth
immediatly
with
it
a
certaine
fire
,
sometimes
more
subtle
,
sometimes
more
grosse
,
according
to
the
diuersitie
of
the
matter
,
whereof
the
exhalation
is
composed
.
For
Seneca
writeth
in
the
second
booke
of
his
naturall
questions
,
Seneca
.
3.
kindes
of
Thunders
.
chapter
49.
that
there
are
three
kinds
of
Thunders
all
differing
the
one
from
the
other
,
according
to
the
quantity
and
manner
of
their
inflammation
.
The
first
,
by
reason
of
the
matter
thereof
,
it
being
most
thinne
and
subtle
,
it
doth
pierce
and
penetrate
suddenly
the
Obiectes
which
it
toucheth
.
The
second
kinde
,
by
reason
of
the
violence
thereof
,
breaketh
and
dissipateth
the
same
thinges
because
that
the
matter
thereof
is
more
violent
,
and
compact
as
a
Tempest
.
The
third
sort
being
composed
of
a
more
earthy
matter
,
burneth
with
manifest
tokens
of
the
heat
therof
.
I
also
know
,
that
the
Thunder
is
of
nature
Pestilentiall
and
faetide
,
because
of
the
grosse
and
slimie
matter
thereof
;
which
being
burned
,
leaueth
behinde
it
such
a
stinking
sauour
,
that
all
animals
do
so
much
auoide
it
,
that
if
it
do
happen
to
fall
into
their
dens
,
or
other
places
of
haunt
,
they
wil
vtterly
abandon
and
forsake
such
places
;
so
much
do
they
hate
the
infectious
stinke
of
that
poyson
.
The
same
is
noted
by
Olaus
Mag●us
,
in
his
Septentrionall
History
,
that
in
certaine
places
where
Thunder
hath
falne
,
presently
after
the
fall
thereof
,
the
fields
haue
beene
found
afterwards
to
bee
couered
and
strewed
ouer
with
sulphure
,
neuerthelesse
vnprofitable
,
and
almost
extinguished
.
For
all
these
reasons
,
I
must
not
confesse
that
the
blowes
of
Gun-shot
are
accompanied
with
poyson
and
fire
,
as
the
claps
of
Thunder
a●e
.
Answere
to
the
contrary
Reasons
.
For
although
they
doe
agree
the
one
with
the
other
,
in
some
similitude
,
it
is
not
therefore
in
theyr
substance
and
matter
,
but
rather
in
the
maner
which
they
haue
to
batter
,
te●re
,
and
dissipate
the
obiects
which
they
meere
with
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
claps
of
Thunder
through
the
force
of
fire
;
&
of
the
bolt
or
stone
sometimes
engendred
therein
:
and
the
blowes
of
Gun-shot
by
the
meanes
of
the
aire
forced
away
by
impetuosity
,
and
so
conducting
the
Bullet
causeth
the
like
disaster
.
What
if
I
should
be
conuicted
by
stronger
arguments
,
so
that
I
were
inforced
to
auouch
that
▪
Thunder
and
the
Cannon
to
be
of
like
substance
;
yet
I
shoulde
neuer
be
forced
to
say
,
that
the
shot
of
Cannons
and
Muskets
do
participate
of
a
fiery
quality
.
Pliny
saith
in
the
second
Book
of
his
History
,
and
the
51.
chapter
,
that
among
Thunder
one
kinde
is
composed
of
a
meruailous
dry
matter
,
dissipating
all
such
thinges
it
meeteth
withall
,
neuerthelesse
without
any
signe
of
burning
:
others
,
of
a
more
humid
nature
,
which
in
like
manner
burneth
not
:
but
blacketh
and
discoloureth
much
more
then
the
first
.
And
others
are
composed
of
a
very
cleere
and
subtle
matter
:
the
nature
wherof
is
most
meruailous
,
forsomuch
that
it
is
not
to
bee
doubted
(
as
Seneca
hath
well
saide
)
that
there
is
therein
a
certaine
divine
vertue
:
A
meruailous
effe●t
of
Thunder
.
and
it
is
in
melting
Golde
or
Siluer
in
a
mans
purse
,
the
purse
it selfe
not
being
so
much
as
touched
therewith
.
Also
in
melting
a
sworde
,
the
scabberd
thereof
remayning
whole
.
Also
in
dissoluing
into
droppes
the
Iron
head
of
a
Pike
,
without
burning
,
or
so
much
as
heating
the
woode
.
In
shedding
the
wine
out
of
a
vessell
,
without
burning
or
breaking
of
the
caske
.
According
to
the
aforesaid
testimony
I
can
assure
you
,
and
that
without
any
preiudice
,
that
those
Thunders
which
onely
breake
and
dissipate
without
any
burning
;
and
such
which
leaue
effects
ful
of
great
admiration
,
not
to
be
much
vnlike
in
substance
to
the
Cannon
shot
,
and
not
those
which
carry
immediately
with
them
the
action
of
fire
.
To
proue
my
saying
,
this
one
example
shall
suffice
.
Example
.
A
certaine
souldier
receiued
a
wound
in
his
Thigh
with
a
Musket
shot
,
from
when
I
extracted
a
bullet
;
the
which
being
wrapped
in
the
Taffatie
of
his
breeches
,
made
a
very
deepe
wound
.
Neuerthelesse
I
drew
it
forth
of
the
wound
with
the
same
Taffatie
,
it
being
without
any
signe
of
burning
.
And
which
is
more
,
I
haue
seene
many
men
,
who
not
being
shot
,
nor
any
thing
touched
therewith
,
vnlesse
it
were
in
their
apparrell
onely
,
haue
receiued
such
an
astonishment
by
a
Cannon
shot
that
onely
past
neere
them
,
that
their
members
thereby
haue
become
blacke
and
liuid
;
and
shortly
after
haue
falne
into
a
Gangrene
and
mortification
,
whereof
in
the
end
they
haue
died
.
These
effects
are
like
vnto
those
of
the
thunder
before
spoken
of
.
Neuerthelesse
,
there
is
not
in
them
any
fire
or
poison
:
which
maketh
mee
conclude
,
that
there
is
no
poison
in
the
common
and
ordinary
pouder
.
Seeing
therefore
that
this
disaster
was
common
to
all
those
which
were
hurt
in
these
last
warres
,
and
yet
neither
by
fire
or
poyson
that
so
many
valiant
men
died
.
To
what
cause
may
we
impute
this
euill
?
I
am
so
confident
of
the
true
cause
my
Liege
,
that
I
hope
presently
to
make
your
Maiesty
vnderstand
the
same
,
to
the
end
that
your
demand
may
be
fully
satisfied
.
Those
which
haue
consumed
their
age
and
studie
in
the
secrets
of
naturall
Philosophie
,
haue
left
vs
this
among
other
things
for
authentick
and
approued
of
all
times
.
Which
is
,
that
the
Elements
do
symbolize
in
such
sort
the
one
with
the
other
,
th●t
they
doe
sometimes
transforme
and
change
themselues
the
one
into
the
other
in
such
sorte
,
that
not
onely
their
first
qualities
,
which
are
heat
,
coldnesse
,
d●inesse
and
moisture
:
but
also
theyr
substances
are
chaunged
by
rarification
or
condensation
of
themselues
;
so
the
fire
doth
conuert
it selfe
ordinarily
into
aire
,
the
aire
into
water
,
the
water
into
earth
;
and
contrarywise
the
earth
into
water
,
the
water
into
aire
,
and
the
ai●e
into
fire
.
The
which
we
may
dayly
behold
and
proue
it
by
those
bellowes
of
Copper
which
the
Dutchman
brings
vs
,
being
composed
in
the
form
of
a
Boll
,
the
which
being
filled
with
water
,
and
hauing
but
one
hole
in
the
midst
of
the
Sphericall
forme
thereof
,
receiueth
the
transmutation
of
the
water
within
it
into
aire
through
the
action
of
the
Fire
,
neere
vnto
the
which
the
Boll
must
be
placed
;
and
so
thrusteth
the
aire
forth
of
it
with
violence
,
making
a
continuall
noise
or
sound
vntill
all
the
ayre
be
gone
forth
of
it
.
The
like
may
bee
knowne
by
Egges
or
Chestnuts
:
for
either
of
them
being
put
into
the
fire
before
they
are
crackt
,
or
the
Rindes
broken
,
presently
the
watery
humidity
contained
in
them
doth
conuert
it selfe
into
ayre
,
thorough
the
action
of
the
fire
:
and
the
aire
in
making
his
passage
bursteth
the
shell
,
beecause
it
occupyeth
more
place
being
in
the
forme
of
aire
,
into
the
which
it
was
chaunged
by
rarification
caused
by
the
fire
,
then
it
did
vnder
the
forme
of
water
;
and
not
finding
passage
is
constrained
to
make
one
by
violence
,
according
to
the
proposition
helde
for
most
certaine
among
all
Physitians
;
that
is
to
say
,
of
that
one
part
of
Earth
is
made
tenne
of
water
:
and
of
one
part
of
water
is
made
ten
of
aire
,
as
of
one
part
of
aire
ten
of
fire
.
I
do
say
and
affirme
so
much
of
the
matters
contained
in
the
saide
Gun-powder
,
which
by
meanes
of
the
fire
is
conuerted
into
a
great
quantity
of
aire
;
the
which
because
it
cannot
be
contained
in
the
place
where
the
matter
was
before
the
tran●mutation
thereof
,
is
compelled
to
yssue
forth
with
an
incredible
violence
:
by
meanes
wherof
,
the
Bullet
breaketh
,
shiuereth
and
rendeth
all
that
euer
it
meeteth
with
,
yet
doth
not
the
fire
accompany
it
.
Euen
as
we
see
a
Bow
,
or
a
Sling
shoote
forth
an
arrow
or
stone
,
without
any
aire
at
all
.
But
the
bullet
driueth
before
it
such
a
subtle
winde
,
and
so
swiftly
agitated
that
sometimes
the
very
wind
it selfe
without
the
action
of
the
bullet
causeth
strange
and
wonderfull
effects
.
For
sometimes
I
haue
known
it
make
a
fracture
in
the
bones
without
any
diuision
of
the
flesh
.
The
effect
●f
Artillerie
like
to
the
Thunder
.
And
heerein
it
may
be
compared
as
we
saide
before
vnto
the
effect
of
Thunder
:
euen
so
we
see
,
that
if
the
saide
powder
bee
inclosed
in
Mines
and
Vaults
of
the
earth
,
and
being
conuerted
into
aire
through
the
action
of
the
fire
set
vnto
it
,
how
it
doth
ruinate
and
reuerse
huge
masses
of
earth
almost
as
bigge
as
Mountaines
.
Also
in
this
yeare
,
in
your
Maiesties
Town
of
Paris
,
a
certaine
quantity
of
powder
,
bur
newly
ma●e
in
the
Arcenall
,
by
taking
fire
caused
such
a
great
Tempest
,
that
the
whole
Town
shooke
at
it
:
for
with
an
horrible
fury
it
leuelled
with
the
Earth
all
the
houses
neere
vnto
that
place
,
and
discouered
and
battered
downe
the
windowes
of
all
those
houses
that
stood
within
the
fury
of
it
.
And
to
bee
briefe
(
euen
as
a
●lap
of
Thu●der
)
it
did
reuerse
here
&
there
many
men
halfe
slaine
;
ta●ing
●way
f●om
some
●heir
eyes
▪
from
o●hers
thei●
hearing
,
and
left
others
no
lesse
torne
and
mangled
in
their
members
,
then
if
foure
horses
had
drawne
them
in
peeces
:
and
all
this
by
the
only
agitation
of
the
aire
,
into
which
substance
the
powder
was
conuerted
.
The
which
,
according
to
the
quantity
and
quality
of
the
matter
thereof
,
and
according
to
his
motion
,
either
mo●e
or
lesse
violent
,
hath
caused
so
many
won●erfull
accidents
in
our
Prouinces
;
altogether
like
vnto
those
which
are
caused
through
the
inclosing
of
winds
in
the
bowels
and
cauities
of
the
earth
not
bein●
perspirable
.
The
which
st●●uing
to
haue
vent
,
bloweth
with
such
a
strong
and
violent
agitation
,
that
they
make
the
ear●h
to
tremble
and
quake
thereat
:
thereby
debo●lishing
Cities
,
and
ruinating
buildinges
,
and
transporting
them
from
one
place
to
another
.
As
the
Townes
of
Megara
&
Egina
,
anciently
much
celebrated
in
the
Countrey
of
Greece
,
perishing
by
Earth-quakes
can
witnes
vnto
vs
.
I
omit
to
discouer
(
as
but
little
seruing
to
our
purpose
)
how
the
wind
inclosed
in
the
Entrailes
of
the
Earth
,
maketh
a
noise
of
diuers
sounds
,
&
very
strange
according
to
the
diuers
forms
of
the
conduits
and
passages
through
the
which
it
yssueth
by
,
euen
af●er
the
manner
of
Musicall
Instruments
;
the
which
being
large
,
do
giue
a
great
and
base
sound
,
and
being
narrow
do
make
high
and
sharpe
notes
,
and
being
crooked
or
replied
mak●
diuers
sounds
;
as
wee
see
by
experience
in
the
Huntsmans
horne
,
and
in
Trumpets
,
the
which
also
being
moystened
with
water
,
do
make
a
hollow
gurguling
sound
.
In
like
manner
,
these
noises
,
murmurings
,
and
clamors
are
sundry
wayes
diuersified
,
according
to
the
places
whence
they
proceede
▪
in
such
sort
,
that
sometimes
hath
bene
hard
a
clamorous
crie
,
representing
(
as
it
seemed
)
the
assault
of
a
Citty
,
the
cries
and
lowings
of
Buls
,
or
the
neighing
of
Horses
,
roaring
of
Lyons
,
sound
of
Trumpets
reports
of
Artillery
&
many
other
dreadful
things
;
yea
sometimes
humane
voices
.
As
it
is
reported
by
one
,
who
had
heard
a
voice
(
as
it
were
)
of
a
woman
a
beating
,
Diuers
sounds
yssuing
out
of
the
veins
of
the
earth
.
which
made
(
as
he
imagined
)
such
a
wofull
and
greeuous
lamentation
,
whereby
he
became
so
greatly
affrighted
,
that
hee
had
scarsely
breath
sufficient
to
make
this
report
.
But
when
he
had
well
vnderstoode
the
cause
of
this
plaintiue
voice
,
he
was
presently
deliuered
from
that
fear●
,
which
otherwise
might
haue
killed
him
.
But
some
perhappes
will
say
,
that
these
things
haue
alwayes
bene
,
and
no
lesse
ordinarie
in
the
times
past
,
then
they
are
at
this
present
:
and
therfore
it
is
a
great
folly
in
mee
to
alledge
them
,
for
efficient
causes
of
the
death
of
so
many
men
.
The
which
imputation
I
should
freely
confesse
,
if
I
should
present
them
for
such
:
but
seeing
that
by
them
I
would
o●ely
paralel
and
compare
the
impetuosity
of
Artillery
with
that
of
Thunder
,
and
the
motions
of
the
earth
;
which
beeing
so
,
it
will
appear
that
it
maketh
nothing
against
my
first
intention
,
as
I
hope
to
demonstrate
cleerely
,
that
I
am
slandered
without
a
cause
,
if
you
please
to
giue
care
to
the
deduction
following
.
In
the
which
,
I
will
plainly
and
briefely
describe
the
true
causes
of
the
late
mortality
which
happened
among
your
Highnesse
Soldiers
.
Amongest
the
things
necessary
for
our
liues
,
there
is
nothing
that
can
more
alter
our
bodyes
then
the
Aire
;
The
true
explicauo●
of
the
question
.
the
which
continually
(
willing
or
vnwilling
)
we
inspire
by
those
Cond●ites
which
Nature
hath
apointed
for
that
end
;
as
the
mouth
,
the
nose
,
and
generally
through
all
the
pores
of
the
skin
and
Arteries
therein
infixed
,
whether
we
ea●e
,
drinke
,
watch
,
or
sleepe
,
or
doe
any
other
action
,
whether
Naturall
,
Vitall
,
or
Animal
.
From
thence
it
commeth
,
that
the
aire
inspir●d
into
the
Lungs
,
the
Hart
,
and
the
Braine
,
and
vniuersally
in
all
the
parts
of
the
body
to
refresh
and
in
some
measure
to
nourish
the
same
,
is
the
cause
that
a
man
cannot
liue
one
minute
without
inspiration
;
according
to
the
which
wonderfull
benefite
,
the
excellent
Physitian
Hippocrates
hath
pronounced
and
that
truly
,
Hyp
in
the
Prefa●e
of
●is
Prognest
that
the
Aire
hath
a
kinde
of
Diuinity
in
it
;
because
that
in
breathing
and
blowing
ouer
all
parts
of
the
world
vniuersally
,
it
doth
circumuolue
all
things
therein
contained
;
nourishing
them
myraculously
,
strengthning
them
firmly
,
and
maintaining
them
in
an
amiable
Vnion
,
altogether
symbolizing
with
the
stars
&
Planets
;
into
the
which
the
diuine
prouidence
is
infused
;
which
changeth
the
aire
at
his
pleasure
,
&
giueth
it
power
not
onely
ouer
the
mutation
of
times
&
seasons
,
but
also
of
the
alteration
of
naturall
bodies
.
And
therefore
the
Philosophers
and
Physitians
haue
expresly
commanded
,
that
wee
should
haue
a
principall
regarde
vnto
the
situation
and
motions
of
the
heauenly
bodies
,
and
constitutions
of
the
aire
,
when
the
preseruation
of
health
,
or
the
curation
of
diseases
are
in
question
:
but
especially
the
course
and
mutation
of
the
Aire
is
of
great
power
,
as
we
may
easily
iudge
by
the
4.
seasons
of
the
yeare
.
For
the
Aire
being
hot
and
dry
in
Sommer
,
Hyp.
in
the
beginning
of
his
booke
de
Aere
locis
et
aquis
.
our
bodies
in
like
manner
doeth
thereby
become
heated
and
dried
:
and
in
winter
the
humidity
and
coldnesse
of
the
aire
doeth
likewise
fil
our
bodies
with
the
samequailities
;
in
such
order
neuerthelesse
,
and
in
so
good
a
disposition
of
nature
,
that
although
our
temperatures
seeme
to
be
changed
according
to
the
foure
seasons
of
the
yeere
,
wee
neuerthelesse
receyue
no
harme
thereby
,
if
those
times
do
keepe
their
seasons
and
qualities
f●ee
from
excesse
.
But
to
the
contrarie
,
if
the
seasons
be
so
peruerted
that
the
Sommer
is
cold
,
and
the
Winter
hot
,
and
the
other
sea●ons
in
the
like
distemperature
,
this
discord
bringeth
with
it
a
great
perturbation
both
in
our
bodyes
,
and
in
our
spirits
,
constrained
neuerthelesse
to
receiue
the
danger
,
by
reason
that
the
causes
are
extreame
,
and
do
on
euery
side
enco●passe
vs
;
so
that
we
are
constrained
to
lodge
it
in
vs
by
●hose
Organes
and
Con●uits
appointed
by
nature
to
that
end
;
The
alienati●n
of
〈◊〉
cause
of
diseases
.
as
par●ly
,
to
expell
the
superfluous
excrements
of
our
nourishment
,
and
partly
to
receiue
the
saide
externall
causes
,
which
is
the
ayre
or
wi●●e
,
producing
in
vs
diuers
effects
,
according
to
those
parts
of
the
world
from
whence
they
do
proceed
.
For
it
being
so
that
the
Southerly
winds
are
●ot
and
moyst
;
that
of
the
North
cold
&
drie
;
the
Easterly
winds
for
the
most
part
are
clere
and
pure
;
and
the
Westerly
cloudy
,
and
subiect
vnto
rai●e
;
yet
it
is
a
most
assured
thing
,
that
the
Ayre
which
we
do
inspire
continually
,
holdeth
in
all
,
and
through
all
the
quality
that
is
most
predominant
.
And
therefore
we
should
of
necessity
consider
in
all
diseases
,
and
the
inconueniences
which
happen
therein
,
the
quality
of
the
windes
and
the
power
which
they
haue
ouer
our
bodies
;
as
Hippocrates
hath
learnedly
left
vs
by
writing
,
in
the
3.
Booke
of
his
Aphorismes
,
Chap.
5.
and
17.
saying
,
That
our
bodies
do
receiue
a
great
alteration
through
the
vissitude
of
the
times
and
seasons
of
the
yeere
.
As
by
the
South-wind
our
bodies
are
subiect
to
all
diseases
,
because
that
moisture
is
their
primitiue
cause
▪
it
also
weakeneth
our
naturall
heate
,
the
which
in
the
opposite
case
is
much
fortified
through
a
cold
and
dry
wind
,
which
also
maketh
our
spirits
more
quicke
and
subtill
.
The
verity
of
which
sentence
,
the
inhabitantes
of
the
territory
of
Narbonne
doe
too
much
experiment
to
their
dammage
.
For
being
themselues
between
the
lustiest
and
healthfullest
people
of
all
France
;
yet
neuerthelesse
they
themselues
are
very
sickely
for
the
most
part
,
their
bodies
leane
,
their
countenances
sad
and
heauy
;
their
faces
tawny
,
or
of
an
Oliue
colour
,
do
manifestly
shew
the
same
.
Also
among
other
diseases
,
they
are
almost
all
subiect
to
the
white
Leprosie
;
and
●he
least
Vlcers
which
they
haue
,
which
wee
make
no
account
of
at
Poictiers
or
Paris
,
do
ordinarily
continue
with
them
a
whole
yeere
together
.
Not
for
any
other
cause
,
as
they
themselues
confesse
,
and
as
al
strangers
k●ow
that
haue
liued
in
their
Country
▪
but
onely
because
they
are
for
the
most
part
,
blasted
and
breathed
vppon
with
a
Southerly
Winde
,
which
in
their
language
they
call
A●tan
,
and
maketh
the
aire
to
be
grosse
and
cloudy
;
causing
in
their
bodies
al
the
effects
which
are
attributed
by
Hippocrates
to
the
Southerly
windes
,
in
his
thirde
Booke
and
5.
Aphorisme
,
that
is
to
say
,
when
it
reigneth
it
dulleth
the
hearing
,
●immeth
the
sight
,
swelleth
and
aggrauateth
the
head
,
weakneth
and
abateth
all
the
forces
of
the
body
.

when
Hippocrates
compareth
the
temperatures
of
the
one
quality
with
the
other
,
he
resolueth
vpon
this
point
;
That
the
dry
seasons
are
far
more
healthfull
then
the
humid
●hat
haue
continued
for
a
long
succession
of
time
,
because
excessiue
humidity
is
the
true
matter
of
putrifaction
,
as
experience
telleth
vs
:
For
wee
see
,
that
in
those
places
where
the
Marine
or
Sea-winds
haue
blowed
long
,
all
kinds
of
flesh
(
though
neuer
so
new
&
fresh
)
will
corrupt
in
lesse
then
an
houre
.
These
●hings
being
considered
,
that
it
is
most
necessary
for
the
conseruation
of
our
bodies
in
health
;
that
the
seasons
should
follow
their
naturall
temperatures
,
without
any
excesse
or
contrarietie
,
there
is
no
doubt
to
be
made
but
that
our
bodyes
will
fall
into
many
vnnaturall
diseases
,
when
the
natural
qualities
of
the
seasons
are
peruerted
through
the
euil
disposition
of
the
aire
,
and
wind
that
predominateth
therein
.
It
being
so
that
for
these
3.
yeares
space
heere
in
France
,
the
seasons
of
euerie
yeare
haue
not
kept
their
ordinary
qualities
.
In
the
Sommer
we
haue
had
but
little
heate
,
in
the
Winter
a
little
or
no
cold
at
all
.
Also
the
other
seasons
haue
bene
continually
distempered
with
raine
and
moysture
,
together
with
much
Southerly
windes
,
whose
nature
wee
hau●
declared
before
;
and
this
throughout
all
France
.
I
know
no
man
so
little
seene
in
naturall
Philosophy
,
or
in
Astrologie
,
which
will
not
finde
the
aire
to
bee
the
efficient
cause
of
so
many
euilles
,
which
for
these
three
yeeres
space
haue
happened
in
the
kingdome
of
France
.
For
from
whence
should
proceede
those
contagious
Pestilences
,
which
happened
indifferently
to
olde
and
young
;
to
rich
and
poore
,
&
in
so
many
places
,
but
from
the
corruption
of
the
aire
?
From
whence
should
proceede
so
many
kinds
of
Feauers
,
Ple●risies
,
Aposthumes
,
Catarres
,
defluctions
of
smal
Pox
&
Meazels
?
So
many
kinds
of
venomous
Beasts
,
as
Frogges
,
Toades
,
Grashoppers
,
Caterpillers
,
Spiders
,
Flies
,
Waspes
,
Snailes
,
S●rpents
,
Vipers
,
Snakes
,
Lizards
,
Scorpions
,
and
Aspickes
;
but
onely
from
a
purrifaction
resulting
from
the
humidity
of
the
aire
,
accompanied
with
a
languishing
heate
.
This
is
it
(
I
say
)
that
hath
engendered
in
vs
,
and
in
a●l
the
Countrey
of
France
,
so
many
strange
and
vnknowne
accidents
.
Beholde
therefore
how
our
naturall
heate
hath
bene
weakned
,
how
our
blood
and
humors
haue
bene
corrupted
through
the
malignity
of
the
aire
,
which
these
Southerly
winds
hath
caused
thorough
the
hot
and
moist
quality
thereof
.
Thus
much
I
haue
obserued
,
that
where
there
hath
bene
neede
of
Phlebotomizing
,
there
hath
beene
but
little
blood
drawne
from
any
,
whether
they
were
yong
,
or
olde
,
wounded
,
or
not
of
so
good
or
euill
temperature
;
but
it
hath
bene
corrupted
,
&
appeared
of
white
or
greenish
colours
.
This
I
haue
alwaies
obserued
in
these
last
warres
,
and
in
other
places
where
I
haue
beene
called
to
cure
the
wounded
:
such
as
haue
beene
phlebotomized
by
the
prescription
of
the
Physitian
,
either
for
the
preuention
of
accidents
,
or
the
furtherance
of
the
c●re
.
In
all
which
,
I
say
indifferently
,
I
haue
found
the
bloode
putrified
and
corrupted
.
This
being
so
,
it
must
needs
fol●ow
that
the
fleshy
parts
of
our
bodies
cannot
bee
otherwise
then
euilly
disposed
:
and
all
our
bodies
Cacochymate
,
seeing
that
their
nourishment
which
is
the
blood
is
putrified
,
and
the
aire
altogether
corrupted
.
From
whence
it
followeth
,
that
those
bodyes
which
were
wounded
in
the
fleshy
parts
were
difficult
to
cure
,
considering
that
there
was
in
them
a
perdition
of
substance
;
the
which
hauing
neede
of
the
regeneration
of
the
flesh
,
could
not
be
accomplished
nei●her
by
Medicines
,
nor
a●y
Art
of
the
Chirurgian
,
such
and
so
great
was
the
Cacochimy
or
euill
constitution
of
their
bodies
.
Euen
as
in
an
Hydropticke
person
there
can
no
flesh
be
regenerated
,
A
similitude
because
the
blood
is
too
colde
and
watery
:
and
in
the
Elephanticke
or
leaprous
Disease
,
the
flesh
and
other
parts
do
abide
in
putrifaction
,
because
of
the
corrupted
bloode
whereby
they
are
nourished
.
In
like
manner
,
in
wounds
of
Cacochymed
bodies
,
there
can
be
no
regeneration
made
of
any
good
substance
,
because
that
to
restore
a
lawdable
flesh
in
the
wounded
part
,
it
is
required
that
the
bloode
should
not
offend
neither
in
quantity
nor
quality
,
and
that
the
offended
part
be
in
its
naturall
temperature
.
All
these
things
wer
wanting
in
the
times
of
these
last
warres
:
and
therefore
it
is
not
to
be
wondred
at
,
if
the
wounds
which
were
then
receiued
(
althogh
they
were
but
small
and
of
little
consequence
in
the
noble
or
ignoble
partes
)
haue
brought
with
them
so
many
tedious
accidents
,
and
in
the
end
death
;
because
that
the
air●
which
doeth
incompasse
vs
,
maketh
the
wounds
to
bee
corrupt
and
pu●rified
,
by
reason
of
the
inspiration
and
transpiration
thereof
,
especially
when
it selfe
is
corrupt
and
putrified
by
altering
and
corrupting
the
humors
.
Of
this
point
I
haue
had
the
experience
of
many
woundes
which
I
haue
beene
called
to
dresse
that
haue
rendred
a●most
insupportable
stinking
fauour
,
Intollerable
stinke
proceedi●g
from
the
wounded
parts
of
men
.
as
a
certaine
witnesse
of
corruption
and
infection
,
insomuch
that
the
assistants
coulde
hardly
endure
to
be
present
at
their
dressings
.
It
neede
not
bee
heere
alledged
,
that
this
was
for
want
of
being
cleanly
kept
,
or
often
dressing
,
or
for
not
administering
vnto
them
things
necessary
:
for
this
corruption
was
as
common
to
Princes
and
great
Lords
,
as
vnto
poore
Souldiours
;
whose
woundes
(
if
by
chance
one
day
escaped
wherin
they
were
not
drest
,
so
great
was
the
number
of
the
hurt
souldiers
)
you
should
find
in
them
the
morrow
after
,
a
great
quantity
of
Wormes
,
Venomous
.
Wounds
.
with
a
meruailous
stinking
sauour
.
And
moreouer
there
happened
vnto
them
many
Aposthumes
in
diuers
parts
of
their
bodies
opposite
to
their
hurtes
.
For
,
if
they
were
shot
in
the
right
shoulder
,
they
should
haue
an
Apostume
on
the
left
knee
;
and
if
the
wound
were
in
the
right
leg
,
the
Apostume
would
arise
in
the
left
arme
.
As
it
hapned
to
the
late
King
of
Nauar
,
to
Mounsieur
de
Neuers
,
and
to
Mounsieur
de
Rend●n
,
and
almost
to
all
others
.
So
it
seemeth
,
that
Nature
being
so
much
oppressed
with
corrupted
Humors
,
could
not
be
sufficiently
purged
and
discharged
of
them
by
woundes
onely
,
but
sent
some
part
of
the
corruption
to
some
other
part
either
hidden
or
apparent
.
For
if
the
Apostumes
appeared
not
outwardly
,
they
should
be
found
in
the
inwarde
parts
,
as
in
the
Liuer
,
Lungs
,
or
Spleene
.
From
those
putrifactions
were
stirred
vp
certain
vapors
,
which
through
their
commination
with
the
Har●
c●●s●●h
continuall
●eauers
;
with
the
Liuer
a
let
a●d
hinderance
of
the
generation
of
good
blood
;
and
with
the
Braine
,
swoonings
,
faintings
,
convulsions
,
and
consequently
death
.
Now
because
of
those
aforesaide
accidents
,
it
is
vnpossible
for
any
Chirurgian
(
were
he
neuer
so
expert
)
to

neuerthelesse
●hose

If
therefore
according
to
the
sentence
of
ancient
Hippocrates
,
who
saith
;
That
all
contused

b●ought
to
suppuration

any

I.
The
diuision
of
woundes
,
according
to
the
diuersitie
both
of
the
offended
parts
,
&
the
Bullets
whereby
they
were
made
.
ALl
Wounds
made
by
Gunshot
on
the
body
of
man
,
whether
they
be
simple
,
or
compounded
with
dilaceration
,
contusion
,
distemperature
,
and
tumor
,
are
made
some
in
the
noble
parts
,
others
in
the
ignoble
parts
;
some
in
the
fleshie
parts
,
and
others
in
the
Neruous
and
bony
parts
;
sometimes
with
ruption
and
dilaceration
of
the
great
vessels
,
as
of
the
Veines
and
Arteries
,
and
sometimes
without
ruption
of
them
.
Such
kinde
of
wounds
are
also
sometimes
superficiall
,
but
most
commonly
profound
and
deepe
,
yea
,
Differenc●s
taken
from
the
matter
of
Bullets
.
euen
to
the
penetrating
through
the
body
&
members
of
them
that
receiue
them
.
Another
diuersity
is
taken
according
to
the
differences
of
the
Bullets
:
amongest
the
which
,
some
are
great
,
some
in
a
meane
substance
,
and
some
are
small
as
Haile
shot
:
whereof
the
matter
(
which
is
ordinarily
but
of
Lead
)
is
somtimes
turned
into
Steele
,
Iron
,
or
Tin
,
rarely
into
Siluer
,
but
neuer
into
Gold
.
According
to
the
which
differences
,
the
Chirurgian
ought
to
take
diuers
Indications
to
operate
,
and
according
to
them
to
diuersifie
the
remedies
.
Now
we
ought
not
to
iudge
those
great
accidents
which
happen
in
these
wounds
to
proceede
from
the
combustion
of
the
Bullet
,
nor
from
the
venonosity
or
other
ill
quality
of
the
ponder
,
because
of
the
aforesaide
Reasons
alledged
in
the
precedent
Discourses
,
but
because
of
the
contusion
,
dilaceration
,
and
fraction
which
is
made
thorough
the
violence
of
the
Bullet
in
the
neruous
and
bony
parts
.
For
when
it
hapneth
that
the
Bullet
toucheth
onely
but
the
fleshy
parts
,
and
in
bodies
of
good
temperature
,
F●omwhēce
proceedeth
the
malignity
of
woundes
made
by
Gunshot
.
I
haue
found
those
Woundes
heeretofore
to
bee
as
little
rebellious
in
their
curations
,
and
as
easie
to
handle
as
those
which
are
made
by
anie
Instrument
of
that
kinde
;
I
meane
such
which
make
a
round
and
contused
wound
,
or
of
such
a
figure
which
the
shot
maketh
:
and
therefore
it
is
most
necessary
that
there
bee
a
greater
regard
had
to
the
symptomes
or
accidents
of
the
contusion
,
dilaceration
,
fracture
of
the
bones
and
euill
quality
of
the
incompassing
aire
,
then
to
the
combustion
which
is
thought
to
proceed
from
the
Bullet
,
or
venenosity
of
the
powder
,
because
of
the
reasons
a●oresaide
.
This
I
thought
good
to
publish
to
the
world
to
ayde
yong
and
new
Practitioners
in
Chirurgery
,
in
the
same
manner
&
Method
which
I
haue
my selfe
experimented
in
following
the
warres
,
〈…〉
hauing
therein
continued
for
the
space
of
forty
yeares
.
Wherein
I
protest
I
haue
followed
the
counsel
of
Physitians
and
people
of
my
profession
,
such
as
were
most
renowned
and
approoued
both
by
their
doctrine
and
long
experience
:
concerning
whom
I
doe
assure
my selfe
,
that
they
do
know
more
then
my
writinges
can
containe
.
And
therefore
I
write
not
for
them
,
but
for
the
yong
Prentises
in
this
Art
,
&
for
such
as
want
better
meanes
to
helpe
them
in
vrgent
cases
proceeding
from
these
saide
wounds
,
whome
neuerthelesse
I
aduise
to
take
the
counsell
of
the
Chirurgian
,
if
his
owne
reason
and
experience
do
not
guide
him
in
his
operations
.
CHAP.
II.
Of
the
signes
of
wounds
made
by
Gunshot
.
IN
the
beginning
of
the
Curation
,
you
ought
first
to
know
whether
the
wounds
was
made
by
Gun-shot
or
no
;
which
is
easie
to
be
seene
if
the
figure
of
the
wound
be
round
and
●uid
in
colour
,
and
the
naturall
colour
of
the
part
is
chaunged
,
that
is
to
say
,
yellow
,
azure
,
liuid
,
or
blacke
.
Also
at
the
same
instant
that
the
patient
receyued
the
blow
,
if
he
say
that
he
felt
an
agrauating
pain
,
as
if
he
had
beene
strooke
with
a
great
stone
,
or
with
a
club
,
or
as
if
a
great
burthen
had
falne
vpon
the
wounded
part
.
In
like
manner
,
if
the
wound
hapned
not
vppon
any
great
vessell
,
if
there
haue
issued
but
little
blood
from
the
wounded
partes
,
which
happeneth
because
they
are
contused
,
and
greatly
crushed
,
and
therefore
they
tumifie
presently
after
the
blowe
receyued
;
insomuch
,
that
sometimes
the
passage
is
so
stopt
,
that
there
can
hardly
be
conueyed
in
either
tent
or
Se●on
;
and
thereby
it
cometh
to
passe
,
that
the
flux
of
blood
is
suppressed
,
which
otherwise
would
flow
at
their
Orifices
.
Also
the
Patient
therein
feeleth
a
great
heate
,
which
hapneth
because
of
the
impetuositie
proceeding
both
from
the
violent
motion
of
the
Bullet
,
and
the
veh●ment
impulsion
of
the
ayre
,
with
the
ruption
of
the
flesh
and
neruous
partes
.
Sometimes
also
because
of
the
fractured
Bones
,
which
depresse
and
pricke
the
sayde
parts
;
from
whence
ensueth
fluxion
and
inflammation
.
Also
because
of
the
great
contusion
which
the
Bullet
maketh
;
which
by
no
meanes
can
enter
into
anie
part
of
our
body
but
by
great
force
,
by
reason
of
the
round
figure
thereof
,
whereby
the
place
becommeth
blacke
,
and
the
neighboring
partes
liuid
:
and
from
thence
there
followeth
many
great
accidents
;
as
Paine
,
Fluxion
,
Inflammation
,
Apostume
,
Sspasme
,
Faintings
,
Palsie
,
Gangrena
,
Mortification
,
and
finally
dea●h
.
They
oftentimes
send
forth
a
Sanies
virulent
,
&
very
f●etide
which
proceedeth
from
the
great
abundance
of
humors
which
flow
to
the
wounded
part
,
because
of
the
vehement
crushing
,
contusion
,
and
dilaceration
of
the
parts
,
and
for
want
of
natural
heat
to
comfort
and
gouerne
them
.
Also
by
reason
of
the
Cacochimy
of
the
body
,
and
the
neruous
partes
,
as
the
ioynts
:
also
such
wounds
are
founde
for
the
most
part
greater
then
such
which
are
made
by
the
punction
of
a
Buckes
horne
,
or
the
Wound
made
by
a
stone
or
any
other
such
like
Contusions
,
because
that
the
thing
it selfe
was
round
,
anb
doth
therfore
require
a
greater
and
more
violent
impetuosity
to
make
it
penetrate
into
the
inward
parts
of
the
body
,
wherein
it
seemeth
to
equallize
the
blowes
of
thunder
.
CHAP.
III.
The
manner
how
to
handle
the
aforesaide
woundes
at
the
first
dressing
.
FIrst
,
it
is
conuenient
that
the
Chirurgian
shold
amplifie
the
wound
(
if
the
part
offended
doe
permit
the
same
)
for
these
causes
:
that
is
,
both
to
giue
free
●ssue
vnto
the
Sanies
,
as
also
to
giue
ample
passage
vnto
all
such
straunge
bodyes
which
might
haue
bene
conueyed
in
with
the
shot
,
and
to
draw
them
forth
(
if
any
there
be
)
as
any
portion
of
the
apparrell
,
wad
,
paper
,
peeces
of
Harnesse
,
Maile
,
Bullets
,
Shot
,
Splinters
of
bones
,
dilacerated
flesh
,
and
other
things
that
shall
bee
found
therein
;
and
this
to
bee
done
at
the
first
dressing
if
it
be
possible
.
For
the
accidents
of
pain
and
sensibility
are
not
so
great
in
the
beginning
,
as
they
are
afterwards
.
Now
for
the
better
extraction
of
the
aforesaid
things
,
The
s●tuation
of
the
Patient
to
ext●act
vnna●urall
things
.
you
ought
to
place
the
Patient
in
the
same
situation
that
he
was
at
the
time
when
he
was
first
shot
,
because
that
the
Muscles
and
other
parts
being
otherwaies
situate
,
may
stop
and
hinder
the
way
;
and
for
the
better
finding
of
the
saide
Bullets
,
and
other
things
,
it
is
fitting
that
search
bee
made
with
the
finger
(
if
it
be
possible
)
rather
then
with
any
Instrument
,
because
that
the
sense
of
feeling
is
more
certaine
then
any
Probe
,
or
other
insensible
thing
.
But
if
the
bullet
haue
pierced
farre
into
the
body
,
there
it
may
be
reached
with
a
Probe
,
round
in
the
end
thereof
,
for
feare
of
causing
paine
:
neuerthelesse
it
hapneth
somtimes
that
the
Bullet
cannot
be
found
by
the
Probe
,
as
it
hapned
in
the
campe
of
Parpignan
,
to
my
Lord
the
Marshall
of
Brissac
,
who
was
wounded
with
a
Musket
shot
neere
to
the
right
Omopl●●e
or
shoulder-blade
,
where
many
Chirurgians
because
they
could
not
finde
the
saide
Bullet
,
affirmed
that
it
was
entered
into
the
capacity
of
the
body
,
but
I
●ot
hauing
that
opinion
,
came
to
seeke
for
the
Bullet
,
where
first
without
vsing
any
Probe
,
I
caused
him
to
be
placed
in
the
same
gesture
of
bodie
as
he
was
at
that
time
when
he
was
Wounded
:
then
I
began
wi●h
my
fingers
gently
to
compresse
about
the
neighbouring
parts
of
the
wound
;
in
doing
wh●reof
,
I
found
a
tumor
and
hardnesse
in
●he
flesh
,
with
the
sense
of
paine
,
and
liuiditie
of
colour
in
the
place
where
the
Bullet
was
,
which
was
betwixt
the
lower
part
of
the
Omoplate
,
and
the
seuenth
and
eight
Vertebre
or
turning
ioynt
of
the
backe
.
In
which
place
,
incision
was
made
to
draw
forth
the
shot
,
whereby
he
was
shortly
after
cured
.
Wherefore
it
is
very
conuenient
to
search
for
the
Bullet
not
onely
with
the
Probe
,
but
(
as
I
saide
before
)
with
the
fingers
,
by
handling
and
feeling
the
part
and
places
about
the
same
where
you
may
coniecture
the
Bullet
to
haue
penetrated

body
)
and
by
that
meanes
it
may
be
easily
drawne
forth
.
A
Dilatorie
.
This
Instrument
is
named
a
Dilatory
,
which
may
be
vsed
to
open
and
dilate
the
wounds
,
to
the
end
that
the
strange
bodyes
may
the
easier
bee
found
and
extracted
,
for
by
compressing
together
the
two
ends
thereof
,
the
other
two
do
open
,
it
may
also
serue
in
many
places
,
as
the
nostrils
,
fundament
;
and
other
parts
.
The
Instruments
which
follow
are
Needles
for
the
Seton
,
and
are
very
conuenient
when
as
you
would
passe
in
a
Seton
to
keepe
the
wound
&
the
way
of
the
Bullet
open
,
vntill
you
haue
drawne
forth
all
the
straunge
bodies
which
might
yet
remaine
therein
;
besides
,
they
may
serue
to
explora●e
or
search
into
deepe
wounds
to
find
the
Bullet
▪
not
causing
any
paine
,
because
they
are
round
and
pollished
towards
their
extremities
.
You
must
vnderstand
that
those
Probes
which
are
vsed
to
serch
the
bullet
ought
to
be
of
a
mean
greatn●sse
,
Of
what
bignes
the
Probes
ought
to
be
.
pollished
and
round
on
their
extreamities
,
because
that
the
edges
of
the
wound
,
and
the
way
whereby
the
Bullet
hath
passed
,
doeth
incontinently
ioyne
together
,
and
touch
the
one
side
against
the
other
.
In
such
maner
that
the
sayd
wound
or
way
of
the
Bullet
,
will
appeare
in
sight
to
be
much
smaller
then
it
is
:
and
for
that
cause
those
Probes
which
are
slender
and
sharp
,
are
nothing
so
commodious
;
for
they
will
stop
and
stay
on
euery
part
of
the
reioyned
wound
,
and
cannot
so
easily
be
conducted
to
the
place
where
the
bullet
is
,
as
those
which
are
somewhat
greater
.
Also
those
which
are
small
and
slender
▪
doe
pricke
and
offend
the
flesh
of
the
wound
whereby
the
Patient
is
much
mollested
,
and
is
oftentimes
a
cause
that
the
Bullet
cannot
be
found
.
Also
you
ought
in
like
manner
to
haue
those
which
are
greater
&
longer
to
passe
through
the
thigh
when
necessity
shall
require
.
Which
length
of
them
ought
to
be
changed
and
diuersified
according
to
the
greatnesse
of
the
wounded
member
.
For
I
am
of
this
opinion
,
that
one
should
not
striue
too
much
to
make
them
passe
alwayes
thorough
the
wounded
parts
for
feare
of
induring
paine
and
other
accidents
.
For
the
Patient
may
be
cured
as
well
although
the
Seton
be
not
passed
thorough
,
as
by
experience
it
hath
beene
seene
,
that
a
Bullet
hath
bene
shot
through
the
body
,
and
yet
without
the
passing
through
of
a
Seton
,
they
haue
neuerthelesse
bene
cured
.

CHAP.
V.
The
manner
how
to
handle
those
woundes
at
the
first
dressing
,
after
that
the
strange
bodyes
are
extracted
.
AFter
you
haue
drawne
forth
the
strange
Bodies
by
the
aforesaide
meanes
,
the
principall
intention
shall
be
to
combate
against
the
contusion
and
alteration
of
the
aire
,
●he
prin●ipall
intention
of
the
Chi●u●gian
.
if
it
be
hot
&
moist
,
and
disposed
to
putrifaction
;
which
shall
be
done
both
by
remedies
taken
inwardly
,
as
by
others
applyed
outwardly
;
and
also
put
or
infused
within
the
wound
.
For
those
which
are
to
bee
taken
inwardly
ought
to
be
administred
by
the
counsel
&
ordinance
of
the
learned
Physitian
,
to
whose
doctrine
I
leaue
all
that
may
appertaine
both
to
the
manner
of
liuing
,
and
the
purgation
of
the
Patient
.
But
as
for
the
topical
medicines
,
the
Chirurgian
(
acc●rding
to
the
things
aforesaid
)
ought
to
consider
of
the
constitution
of
the
times
,
and
of
the
aire
.
For
if
there
bee
no
danger
of
the
part
to
fall
into
a
Gangrena
,
he
shall
vse
suppuratiues
,
as
in
contused
wounds
,
which
are
Oleum
Catellorum
or
of
a
digestiue
,
hauing
a
regard
to
the
nature
of
the
part
,
because
that
the
neruous
parts
doe
require
Medicines
more
drying
,
then
the
fleshye
parts
do
.
For
in
the
ioynts
and
neruous
parts
,
you
may
vse
of
the
Terebinth
of
Venice
,
or
the
Oyle
of
waxe
,
of
Masticke
,
the
yolkes
of
Egges
,
adding
thereto
a
little
Aqua-vitae
rectified
.
Such
like
things
haue
power
to
disiccate
and
consume
the
watrish
humidity
which
issueth
from
the
neruous
parts
,
and
a●so
easeth
the
paine
.
Ionbertus
Physitian
in
ordinary
to
the
King
,
and
Chancellour
of
the
vniuersity
of
Montpellier
,
who
hath
most
learnedly
written
of
the
Woundes
made
by
Gunshot
,
because
he
hath
seene
many
wounded
when
he
followed
the
wars
,
in
the
Treatise
which
he
hath
made
,
he
saith
;
that
in
the
simple
wounds
made
by
shot
,
there
ought
not
to
be
vsed
any
Medicine
Escharoticke
,
or
that
causeth
an
escharre
,
either
actuall
or
potentiall
,
because
they
doe
endure
paine
,
Inflammation
,
Gangrena
,
Feauer
,
Why
no
escha●aticke
Medicine
ought
to
be
vsed
.
&
other
pernicious
accidents
.
Also
because
that
the
Eschar
or
crust
hin●ereth
the
suppuration
which
ought
presently
to
bee
indured
,
to
separate
the
contused
flesh
,
together
with
the
Sanies
,
lest
that
all
should
degenerate
into
putrifaction
,
as
easilie
it
may
when
the
superfluous
humour
putrifieth
long
in
one
place
,
not
hauing
free
passage
;
not
so
much
as
for
the
exhalation
of
the
putrified
vapors
,
because
that
they
are
enclosed
and
couered
in
with
the
eschar
:
which
being
inclosed
doe
multiply
,
insomuch
that
they
do
require
a
greater
place
then
is
permitted
them
;
then
they
passe
and
enter
from
the
small
vessels
into
the
greater
;
and
from
thence
into
the
noble
parts
,
from
whence
most
commonly
ensueth
d●ath
:
neuer●helesse
,
if
there
bee
any
suspition
of
putrifaction
,
then
in
such
a
case
you
ought
to
passe
from
suppuratiues
,
vnto
remedies
that
do
resist
putrifaction
,
leauing
the
proper
care
●o
come
vnto
the
accidents
.
Wherefore
at
the
first
dressing
in
the
case

in
the

may
bee
vsed
this
following
vnguent
.

The
Vertues
of
this
vnguent
is
,
that
because
of
the
heat
&
tenuity
thereof
,
it
inciseth
and
attenu●teth
the
humors
,
reuoketh
the
naturall
heate
which
was
repelled
by
the
vehement
impulsion
of
the
blow
,
&
the
violent
agitation
of
the
aire
conducted
by
the
Bullet
.
Mo●eouer
it
correcteth
the
putrifaction
of
the
virulent
humor
,
which
presently
cleaueth
vnto
,
and
so
disposeth
the
contused
flesh
in
such
manner
,
that
it
maketh
an
escharre
.
This
vnguent
when
and
as
often
as
it
shall
be
needfull
may
bee
applyed
with
Tents
or
Setons
,
beeing
first
dissolued
with
a
little
wine
or
Aqua-vitae
:
The
which
tents
ought
to
be
both
great
and
long
for
the
first
dressing
,
thereby
to
inlarge
and
dilate
the
wound
that
the
Medicines
may
therby
the
better
be
conveyed
in
.
But
afterwards
they
ought
not
to
be
applyed
so
long
or
great
.
Also
that
the
Medicine
may
the
better
be
conueyed
into
the
bottome
of
the
wounds
,
it
may
bee
incited
in
with
a
Syringe
.
Moreouer
the
vertue
and
strength
thereof
shal
be
diminished
according
to
the
temperature
of
the
body
,
and
sensibility
of
the
hurt
.
As
if
the
wound
be
in
the
neruous
parts
,
it
shall
be
mixed
with
the
Oyles
of
Terebinth
,
or
of
Hypericon
,
in
such
quantity
as
the
expert
Chirurgian
shall
know
to
bee
needfull
.
But
the
Egyptiacum
is
not
to
bee
vsed
at
all
,
vnlesse
it
bee
in
such
times
which
are
Pestilentiall
and
dangerous
for
those
saide
wounds
,
&
that
they
do
decline
to
putrifaction
.
After
the
vse
of
Egyptiacum
you
may
separate
&
make
the
escharre
fall
,
with
remollitiue
and
lenitiue
things
,
as
the
following
Oyle
in
vsing
thereof
a
litle
hotter
then
luke-warme
.

The

is
of
great
&
meruellous
efficacy
,
both
to
appease
the
paine
,
as
also
to
suppurate
the
wound
,
and
to
make
the
escharre
fall
.
But
for

thereof
this
which

is

I
haue
knowne
that
the
saide
Oyles
being
applied
in
the
beginning
of
the
hurt
reasonable
warme
to
appease
the
paine
,
to
lubrifie
,
relaxe
,
and
moysten
the
edges
of
the
wound
,
disposing
it
to
suppuration
,
which
is
the
true
way
to
cure
those
woundes
,
as
Galen
himselfe
reciteth
from
Hippocrates
,
saying
;
That
if
the
flesh
bee
contused
,
crushed
,
or
battered
with
any
Dart
,
or
in
any
other
manner
,
that
it
ought
so
to
be
handled
that
it
bee
brought
to
suppuration
as
soone
as
may
bee
:
For
by
this
meanes
the
wound
shall
bee
the
lesse
mollested
with
Phlegmon
(
or
inflammation
.
)
Also
it
is
necessary
that
the
contused
flesh
be
putrified
,
liquefied
,
and
conuerted
into
pus
,
that
new
flesh
may
afterwards
be
regenerated
.
Ioubertus
doth
very
much
approoue
this
remedy
,
which
I
neuer
yet
did
experiment
,
and
it
this
.
Take

the

.
mixe
them
together
,
adding
thereto
a
little
of
the
oyle
of
Lillies
or
Linseed
.
Experience
doeth
shew
that
this
remedy
is
excellent
,
and
reason
doth
also
confirm
it
.
For
the
powder
of
Mercury
accompanyed
with
vnctious
and
moistning
things
,
causeth
the
contused
flesh
to
suppurate
easily
,
&
in
short
time
without
induring
any
great
paine
.
As
for
the
Camphire
,
whether
it
bee
hot
or
cold
,
it
serueth
greatly
because
of
the
excellent
tenuitie
of
the
parts
thereof
.
By
reason
wherof
,
euery
Medicine
of
what
quality
soeuer
it
be
,
doth
penetrate
,
and
disperse
the
Vertues
thereof
the
better
.
Moreouer
,
The
vertue
of
Campher
the
saide
Camphire
doth
resist
all
putrifaction
.
Some
do
instill
into
the
wound
Aqua
vitae
,
in
the
which
they
dissolue
calcined
Vitrioll
;
which
medicine
is
not
suppuratiue
,
but
i●
resisteth
putrifaction
;
of
the
which
you
may
vse
in
times
&
seasons
that
are
hot

Now
,
if
the
wound
were
giuen
neere
at
hand
,
then
of
a
certaine
the
wound
may
bee
with
burning
,
by
reason
of
the
flaming

,
Combustion
ioyned
to
woundes
made
by
Gunshot
.
and
shall
be
applyed
medicines
proper
vnto
the
combustion
thereof
,
neuerthelesse
not
leauing
the
contusion
:
and
as
for
the
parts
about
the
wound
,
there
you
shall
not
apply
Medicines
which
are
refrigeratiue
and
astringent
,
but
remollitiues
and
suppuratiues
,
for
they
cannot
be
vsed
at
the
first
dressing
,
because
they
do
coole
and
weaken
the
pa●t
,
and
hinder
suppuration
.
Also
they
do
constipate
the
skin
,
which
is
a
hinderance
to
the
transpiration
of
the
fuliginous
vapors
:
from
whence
ensueth
Gangrena
and
mortification
,
thorough
the
vnfit
application
of
such
like
medicines
.
Where
the
contusion
shall
bee
great
,
there
you
may
make
many
scarifications
,
therby
to
discharge
the
part
of
the
bruised
bones
which
is
subiect
to
putrifie
:
but
in
the
neighbouring
parts
,
and
about
the
contusion
farre
off
from
the

,
you
ought
to
apply
cooling

How
the
saide
wounds
ought
to
be
handled
after
the
first
dressing
.
AT
the
second
dressing
,
and
in
the
rest
following
,
if
there
be
no
danger
of
putrifaction
and
Gangrena
,
you
may
vse
one
of
the
aforesaid
oiles
adding
thereunto
of
the
Egges
,
with
a
little
Saffron
,
which
shall
bee
continued
vntill
the
excrement
of
the
wound
bee
digested
and

to
suppuration
.
Heerein
it
is
to
be
noted
,
that
in
wounds
made
by
Gunne-shot
,
Pu●
is
not
so
made
by
Gunshot
,
as
in
all
other
wounds
.
it
is
longer
before
they
bee
brought
to
suppuration
then
other
wounds
made
by
other
instruments
,
because
that
the
bullet
and
the
aire
which
it
thrusteth
before
it
,
dissipateth
(
by
reason
of
the
great
Contusion
thereof
)
the
naturall
heate
,
and

spirites
from
the
part
,
which
causeth
that
the
concoction
is
neither
so
soone
,
nor
so
well
made
,
for
want
of
naturall
heate
,
from
whence
there
followeth
an
exceeding
foetide
or
stinking
sauour
of
the

and

very

the

of

,
and
of
the

,
&
the
quality
of

hot

These
thinges
done

it
shall
be

The
which
shall
bee
applyed
in
the
wound
with
Tents
and
setons
,
neyther
too
long
,
nor
too
great
;
because
that
then
they
may
hinder
the
euacuation
of
the
Sanies
or
matter
,
&
of
the
vapors
eleuated
from
the
wounds
;
which
if
they
should
be
retained
,
it
is
most
certaine
that
they
will
heat
the
part
,
and
acquire
to
themselues
an
acrimony
,
which
afterwards
will
eate
into
the
edges
and
other
parts
of
the
wound
;
from
whence
insueth
dolour
,
fluxion
,
inflammation
,
fluxe
of
blood
,
Apostume
,
and
putrifaction
,
which
are
easily
communicated
to
the
noble
parts
,
and
cause
afterwards
many
pernitious
accidents
.
And
therfore
the
Chirurgian
need
not
to
feare
any
thing
at
all
,
Aduertisement
to
the
young
Chirurgian
.
of
the
closing
or
conglutinating
of
the
aforesaide
wounds
,
because
that
the
flesh
being
so
greatly
contused
and
dilacerated
,
cannot
consolidate
vntill
the
contusion
be
first
suppurated
and
mundified
.
And
therefore
I
aduise
him
not
to
vse
any
Tents
or
Setons
but
those
that
are
very
small
and
slender
,
to
the
end
that
they
may
not
hinder
the
issue
of
the
matter
contained
,
and
that
the
patient
may
indure
them
easily
,
thereby
to
auoyde
the
aforesaid
accid●nts
.
The
vse
of
Tents
and
Setons
is
to
carry
the
medicine
vnto
the
bottom
of
the
wounds
,
and
to
keepe
them
open
,
especially
in
their
Orifices
,
vntill
that
the
strange
and
vnnaturall
things
be
expelled
:
but
if
the
wound
bee
sinuous
and
deep
in
such
maner
that
the
medicines
cannot
be
conueyed
vnto
all
the
offended
parts
,
then
you
may
make

with
the
decoction
following
.

With

is

And
if
this
remedy
be
not
sufficient
to
clense
the
matter
,
and
to
consume
the
spongy
and
putrified
flesh
,
you
may
then
mixe
with
the
said
decoction
of
Egyptiacum
,
dissolued
in
such
a

as

shall
require

the
which
is
of
most
great

to

from

:
the
like
also
doth
the
saide
Egyptiacum
,
being
applyed
aboue
on
the
excresence
of
the
spongeous
flesh
.
I
haue
in
like
manner
experimented
the
powder
of
Mercury
and
Alom
burned
,
mixed
together
in
equall
portions
,
A
Cath●●icke

to
haue
in
that
case
the
like
vertue
vnto
sublimate
or
Arsnick
(
but
in
working
it
is
nothing
so
painfull
)
and
it
maketh
also
a
very
great
eschar
,
whereat
sometimes
I
haue
much
wondred
.
Some
practitioners
doe
vse
oftentimes
to
leaue
a
great
quantitie
of
their
iniections
in
the
bottome
of
such
sinewous
wounds
,
the
which
I
approoue
not
.
For
besi●es
the
putrifaction
and
corruption
which
thereby
it
get●eth
,
it
holdeth
the
parts
extended
,
and
doeth
humid
or
moysten
them
:
wher●by
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
Nature
cannot
do
her
duty
to
regenerate
the
flesh
,
considering
that
for
the
curation
of
all
Vlcers
(
that
being
an
Vlcer
,
as
saith
Hippocrates
)
the
scope
or
intention
ought
to
be
to
dissicate
them
,
and
not
moisten
them
.
Many
doe
erre
also
in
the
too
frequent
vse
of
Setons
,
in
this
;
That
not
applying
themselues
to
reason
,
they
do
vse
to
renew
them
alwaies
,
wherby
they
rub
and
fret
away
the
tender
flesh
on
the
edges
of
the
woun●
;
the
which
rubbing
and
chafing
doth
not
onely
cause
pai●e
,
but
also
bringeth
with
it
many
euill
accidents
.
And
therefore
I
doe
very
much
commend
the
vse
of
the
hollow
tent
,
which
are
made
either
of
Golde
,
Siluer
,
or
Lead
,
such
as
are
described
in
the
wounds
of
Thorax
:
I
meane
to
be
vsed
in
such
places
which
haue
lapasity
sufficient
,
and
where
there
shal
be
great
quantity
of
Sanies
.
Compresses
or
Boulste●s
.
Also
it
is
most
needfull
that
there
should
bee
applyed
Compresses
or
Boulsters
iust
vpon
the
bottome
of
the
sinus
,
thereby
to
comprimate
those
parts
which
are
distant
from
the
Orifice
,
&
to
expell
the
Sanies
.
To
which
end
,
it
is
fitting
that
the
boulster
be
perforated
iust
vpon
the
orifice
of
the
sinuous
vlcer
,
and
vpon
the
hollow
tents
;
&
that
therein
there
bee
placed
a
sponge
to
receiue
the
Sanies
:
for
by
this
meanes
the
expulsion
,
euacuation
,
and
absumption
thereof
,
shall
be
much
better
.
In
rolling
,
the
Ligature
ought
to
bee
first
begun
on
the
bottom
of
the
sinus
,
with
a
mean
combustion
,
to
the
end
that
the
matter
bee
not
retayned
within
the
Cauity
thereof
.
The
Rollers
and
Boulsters
proper
to
this
operation
,
shall
bee
first
moistned
in
Oxycrat
,
or
soure
Wine
,
or
in
any
other
astringent
liquor
,
to
roborate
and
strengthen
the
part
,
and
to
hinder
the
defluxion
.
But
great
heed
ought
to
be
taken
,
that
ther
be
not
too
great
an
astriction
made
vppon
the
part
,
because
that
thorough
the
astriction
or
straight
binding
,
extreame
paine
may
be
produced
by
meanes
of
the
exhalation
of
the
fuliginous
excrements
which
therby
are
prohibited
.
Also
it
may
cause
the
member
to
become
Atrophied
or
withered
thorough
the
too
long
continuation
of
the
said
Rollers
.

Of
the
Indications
which
ought
to
bee
obserued
in
the
saide
wounds
.
THE
mundification
and
the
extraction
of
the
saide
strange
bodies
being
done
,
it
followeth
then
to
aide
Nature
;
both
to
regenerate
flesh
,
&
also
to
cicatrice
it
,
as
wel
by
things
taken
inwardly
,
as
by
outward
Medicines
hereunto
conuenient
,
and
to
proceede
therein
by
certaine
Indications
,
which
are
taken
first
from
the
essence
of
the
disease
,
and
from
the
cause
thereof
.
If
it
bee
present
although
that
from
the
primitiue
cau●e
(
according
to
Galen
in
the
third
of
his
Method
)
●here
ought
no
Indication
to
bee
taken
,
no
more
then
from
the
time
wherein
hee
meaneth
from
the
absent
cause
,
and
from
the
time
past
.
In
like
manner
Indication
ought
to
be
taken
from
the
foure
vniuersall
times
of
the
cureable
disease
,
that
is
to
say
,
from
the
beginning
,
increasing
,
state
,
and
declination
:
according
to
the
which
times
,
the
remedies
ought
to
be
diuersied
.
Another
Indication
is
taken
from
the
temperature
of
the
Pa●ient
,
which
also
changeth
the
curation
.
Indication
taken
f●om
the
temperature
of
the
bodye
.
For
euery
rationall
and
Methodicke
Chirurgian
knoweth
well
,
that
other
remedies
are
required
in
a
Chollericke
body
,
then
in
a
Flegmatick
;
and
so
of
the
other
temperatures
both
simple
and
compound
.
Vnder
the
which
Indication
of
the
temperature
,
shall
bee
comprehended
that
of
the
Age
,
which
receyueth
not
all
remedies
alike
,
but
demaundeth
some
for
the
yong
persons
,
and
others
for
the
old
.
Moreouer
,
Indication
is
to
bee
taken
from
the
custome
or
manner
of
liuing
of
the
Patient
;
as
whether
hee
hath
beene
accustomed
to
eate
and
drink
much
,
and
at
all
houres
:
for
then
you
ought
not
to
ordaine
him
such
an
exquisite
dyet
as
vnto
him
that
is
accustomed
to
eate
and
drinke
but
little
,
and
at
certaine
houres
:
and
therefore
the
diet
of
Panades
are
not
so
proper
vnto
vs
as
vnto
the
Italians
,
because
our
bodies
require
more
lenitiue
things
:
which
effect
it
woorketh
with
them
,
because
of
Custome
,
which
is
a
second
Nature
.
Vnder
this
accustomed
manner
of
liuing
,
ought
to
be
vnderstood
the
condition
of
the
life
,
and
the
exercise
of
the
Patient
,
forasmuch
as
you
ought
to
vse
stronger
remedies
vnto
the
robusticke
&
men
of
labour
,
such
as
haue
their
flesh
hard
,
then
you
ought
to
vse
vpon
the
delicate
,
and
such
which
labour
but
little
,
and
exercise
lesse
.
Some
there
bee
that
had
rather
comprehend
this
Indication
vnder
that
of
the
temperature
.
For
my
part
I
wil
not
dispute
of
it
,
but
will
leaue
the
resolution
thereof
wholly
to
the
Doctors
.
The
Indicatio●
taken
from
the
vertue
of
the
patient
.
The
Indication
taken
from
the
vertue
of
the
patient
,
is
aboue
all
other
things
to
be
respected
,
because
that
it
failing
or
being
very
weake
,
all
other
things
ought
necessarily
to
bee
best
to
come
vnto
it
.
As
when
we
are
inforced
through
necessity
to
take
off
a
member
,
or
to
make
any
great
incisions
,
or
such
like
things
,
if
the
patient
haue
not
vertue
sufficient
to
indure
the
paine
;
it
is
necessary
to
deferre
such
operations
(
if
it
possible
)
vntill
that
Nature
be
restored
,
and
hath
recouered
her
vertues
both
by
good
nourishment
and
rest
.
Another
Indication
may
bee
taken
from
the
Ayre
which
doth
encompasse
vs
:
vnder
the
which
are
comprehended
the
seasons
of
the
yeere
,
the
region
,
the
place
of
our
abiding
,
and
the
constitution
of
the
time
.
For
accordi●g
to
the
heat
,
coldnesse
,
drinesse
,
and
moysture
of
the
aire
,
also
according
to
the
continuation
of
these
qual●ties
,
the
Medicines
ought
to
be
prepared
.
And
therefore
(
as
sayth
Guido
)
the
wounds
in
the
head
are
more
difficult
to
heale
at
Paris
then
at
Auignon
;
Sentence
of
Guido
.
and
the
wounds
in
the
legges
are
more
tedious
at
Auignon
then
in
Paris
;
by
reason
that
in
Paris
the
ayre
is
more
cold
and
moyst
then
at
Auignon
,
which
is
a
contrary
thing
,
especially
to
all
woundes
in
the
head
.
Contrarywise
,
in
Auignon
,
the
heate
of
the
incompassing
aire
doeth
melt
and
subtillize
the
humors
;
whereby
such
humours
more
easily
and
in
greater
abundance
do
fall
downe
into
the
legs
:
from
whence
it
commeth
that
the
wounds
in
the
legges
are
more
difficult
to
cure
at
Auignon
then
at
Paris
.
But
if
any
one
doe
alledge
experience
to
the
contrary
,
that
the
woundes
in
the
head
,
do
more
often
become
lethall
or
mortal
in
hotte
Regions
then
in
colde
.
To
him
I
answer
,
that
that
proceedeth
not
by
reason
of
the
aire
,
inasmuch
as
it
is
hot
and
dry
,
but
because
of
some
superfluous
humidity
or
euill
vapour
communicated
with
the
aire
;
as
in
those
partes
of
Prouence
and
Italy
,
which
are
neere
to
the
Mediterranean
sea
.
The
Indication
of
curation
may
also
bee
taken
from
the
temperature
of
the
wounded
partes
:
Indication
taken
from
the
wounded
part

for
the
fleshy

so
others

The
like
ought
to
bee
obserued
concerning
the
sensibility
of
the
saide
parts
,
which
in
like
manner
altereth
the
manner
of
curation
:
for
it
is
not
sitting
to
apply
such
sharpe
and
violent
medicines
to
the
Nerues
and
Tendons
,
as
to
the
Ligaments
and
other
insensible
parts
.
The
dignity
and
action
of
the
wounded
parts
hath
no
lesse
priuiledge
in
the
act
of
curation
then
the
former
.
For
,
if
the
wound
be
in
the
Braine
,
or
in
any
other
of
the
vitall
or
naturall
parts
,
it
behooueth
that
their
Medicines
diuersified
and
applied
according
to
their
dignity
and
action
,
because
that
from
the
contemplation
of
these
wounds
,
is
oftentimes
gathered
a
certain
iudgement
of
the
insuing
accidents
.
For

which

of

How
Diseases
become
compounded
.
MOreouer
in
taking
the
aforesaid
Indication
,
you
ought
to
consider
whether
there
bee
a
complication
of
the
disease
,
or
not
:
For
,
euen
as
the
simple
disease
proposeth
a
simple
Indication
,
so
the
complications
of
the
indispositions
against
Nature
,
do
propose
mix●d
or
compounded
Indications
.
Now
the
aforesaide
complications
are
made
after
three
manner
of
wayes
that
is
to
say
,
disease
with
disease
;
as
a
Wound
with
an
Apostume
or
fracture
of
the
bones
.
Disease
with
cause
,
as
an
Vlcer
with
defluxion
.
Disease
with
symptome
,
as
a
wound
with
paine
,
or
with
a
Fluxe
of
blood
.
Or
all
things
against
Nature
together
,
as
disease
,
cause
,
and
symptome
.
Now
that
you
might
know
how
to
handle
artificially
all
these
complications
,
you
must
followe
the
Doctrine
of
Galen
,
in
the
7.
of
his
Method
,
who
exhorteth
vs
to
consider
the
complicated
affections
,
as
that
which
is
the
most
vrgent
,
The
Vrgent
the
cause
,
&
the
necessity
the
cause
;
and
that
w●thout
the
which
the
disease
cannot
be
taken
away
.
And
these
are
things
of
great
import●nce
in
the
curation
of
all
diseases
;
&
herein
the
Empericke
becommeth
wauering
and
vncertaine
,
without
counsell
or
resolution
,
not
knowing
with
which
of
the
affections
hee
ought
first
to
begin
withall
for
the
cure
.
Bu●
the
i●dicious
Physitian
to
the
contrary
is
directed
by
those
three
golden
word●
:
from
the
which
depend
both
the
order
and
method
in
all
such
complicated
dispositions
and
affections
.
The
symptomes
inasmuch
as
they
are
symptomes
,
do
not
giue
any
Indication
at
all
,
neyther
do
they
charge
or
alter
the
order
of
the
curation
.
For
in
taking
away
the
disease
,
which
is
the
cause
of
the
symptome
,
they
are
remooued
,
because
they
depend
thereon
,
as
the
shadow
doth
the
body
:
although
oftentimes
we
are
constrained
to
leaue
the
disease
in
an
irregular
care
,
to
come
vnto
the
accidents
of
the
Disease
;
the
which
if
they
are
vrgent
,
doe
holde
the
place
of
the
cause
,
and
not
properly
of
the
symptomes
.
To
conclude
,
all
the
sayde
Indications
are
but
to
attaine
to
two
endes
,
The
vs●
of
Ind●●at●●n
.
that
is
to
say
,
to
restore
the
part
in
its
naturall
temperature
,
and
that
the
blood
offend
not
neyther
in
quantity
nor
quality
.
That
being
done
(
as
saith
Galen
)
nothing
will
hinder
neyther
the
regeneration
of
the
flesh
,
nor
the
vnion
of
the
vlcer
.
Bu●
sometimes
it
is
not
possible
to
put
the
aforesayde
Indications
in
execution
,
either
because
of
the
greatnesse
of
the
wound
,
or
the
excesse
and
disobedience
of
the
Patient
;
or
because
of
some
other
indisposition
which
hath
happened
through
the
ignorance
of
the
Chirurgian
,
or
from
the
ill
or
disordered
application
of
the
Medicines
.
And
therefore
by
meanes
of
these
things
,
there
followeth
great
paines
,
Feauers
,
Apostumes
,
Gangrenaes
(
vulgarly
and
abusiuely
called
Estiomenes
)
Mortifications
,
and
oftentimes
death
it selfe
.
Moreouer
those
that
receyue
wounds
by
Gunshot
,
do
eyther
dye
,
or
else
remaine
maymed
and
defectiue
all
their
life
after
.
CHAP.

How
the
Chirurgian
shall
proceede
in
the
handling
of
the
saide
wounds
.
IN
the
beginning
therefore
,
great
regard
ought
to
bee
taken
to
mittigate
the
payne
as
much
as
may
be
,
by
repercussing
the
defluxion
,
by
ordayning
a
dyet
according
to
the
six
vnnatural
things
,
and
they
annexed
,
by
anoyding
all
hot
and
sharp
things
,
and
by
diminishing
or
altogether
prohibiting
wine
,
lest
it
should
heat
,
subtillize
,
&
make
the
humors
flow
to
the
part
.
His
maner
of
liuing
,
ought
in
the
beginning
to
be
very
slender
,
thereby
to
make
revulsion
.
For
when
the
stomacke
is
not
filled
sufficiently
,
it
attracteth
from
all
partes
vnto
it
:
by
meanes
whereof
,
the
externe
parts
hauing
affinity
therewith
,
do
remaine
empty
.
And
this
is
the
reason
wherefore
the
patient
ought
to
keepe
a
slender
dyet
in
the
first
dayes
of
his
hurt
.
Venus
is
altogether
contrary
vnto
them
,
inasmuch
as
it
enflameth
the
humors
and
spirits
more
then
any
other
motion
:
and
for
this
cause
it
maketh
the
wound
to
bee
much
enflamed
and
subiect
to
defluxion
.
And
it
wil
not
be
amisse
in
the
beginning
if
there
be
a
sluxe
of
bloode
,
to
let
it
moderately
flow
,
thereby
to
discharge
the
body
and
the
part
:
and
where
it
hath
not
sufficiently
flowed
,
you
ought
the
day
following
to
vse
revulsiue

patient
.
You
neede
not
feare
of
making
of
auersion
of
the
blood
toward
the
Noble
part●
.
For
(
as
we
haue
saide
)
there
is
no
venomous
quality
th●rein
;
neuerthelesse
it
is
generally
●bserued
,
that
such

at
that
i●stant
doe
send

because
of
the
great
con●usion
made
by
the
Bul●et
and
t●e
vehemence
of
the
agitated
aire
,
which
doth
repulse
and
driue
back
the
spirits
into
the
inw●rd
parts
,
and
into
the
circumiacent
parts
of
the
wound
,
as
we
haue
sayd
before
.
This
is
ordinarily
knowne
in
those
who
haue
had
a
member
carried
away
with
a
great
shot
:
for
at
the
instant
of
their
hurts
,
there
issue●h
but
little
blood
forth
of
their
wounds
,
although
that
there
be
many
great
Veines
and
Arteries
broken
&
dilacerated
.
But
a
certaine
time
afterwards
,
as
in
the
fourth
,
fift
,
or
sixt
day
,
and
sometimes
later
,
the
blood
will
yssue
foorth
in
great
abundance
:
by
meanes
of
the
returning
of
the
spirits
,
and
natural
heate
into
the
affected
pa●ts
.
As
for
the
purgatiue
Medicines
.
I
leaue
them
to
the
Doctors
.
Neuerthelesse
in
their
absenc●
,
it
is
necessarie
to
relaxe
and
moue
the
belly
of
the
patient
at
the
least
once
a
day
,
either
by
a●t
or
by
Nature
,
which
shal
be
done
r●ther
by
Custers
then
Purgations
,
especially
in
the
fi●st
dayes
,
because
that
the
agitation
of
the
humors
in
that
case
is
to
be
suspected
,
least
they
shold
ma●e
a
greater
defluxion
to
the
wounded
part
.

of
the
Indications
of
bleeding
and

where
he
saith
;
That
bleeding
and
purging
are
necessary
,
according
to
the
greatnesse
of
the
disease
,
althogh
that
the
pati●nt
be
without

ought

the

not
so

that
thereby
they
should
become

are

But
to
bee

,
the
aboue-mentioned
in

,
do
appease
the

very
comm●diously
,
Hot

ap●er

they
are

Of
such
Bu●lets
which
haue
remained
in
certain
parts
a
long
time
after
the
Curation
of
the
wounds
.
SOmetimes
the
Bullets
of
Lead
haue
remayned
a
long
time
within
the
members
,
as
for
the
space
of
seuen
or
eight
yeeres
and
more
,
An
aduertis●ment
.
there
following
neuerthelesse
not
any
euill
accident
,
nor
hinderance
of
the
consolidation
of
the
wound
:
&
they
haue
continued
there
so
long
,
till
they
haue
bene
thrust
forth
by
the
expulsiue
vertue
,
discending
downe
by
meanes
of
their
grauity
and
heauinesse
into
the
inferiour
parts
,
in
the
which
they
will
manifest
themselues
,
and
then
ought
to
bee
drawne
forth
by
the
operation
of
the
Chirurgean
.
Now
this
continuation
of
them
so
long
in
the
body
,
without
any
corruption
or
euill
accident
(
in
my
opinion
)
doth
proceede
from
no
other
thing
but
from
the
matter
of
the
Lead
,
whereof
the
sayd
Bullets
were
composed
.
For
so
it
is
,
that
Lead
hath
a
certain
familiarity
and
agreement
with
nature
,
especially
of
the
fleshy
parts
:
euen
as
we
see
by
ordinary
experience
,
which
teacheth
vs
,
that
Lead
being
outwardly
applyed
,
hath
the
vertue
to
close
and
cicatrise
old
vlcers
:
but
if
the
bullet
were
of
stone
,
of
Iron
,
or
of
any
other
mettal
,
it
is
a
most
assured
thing
,
that
they
cou●d
not
abide
long
in
the
body
,
because
that
the
Iron
Bullet
would
rust
,
and
thereby
corrode
the
part
where
it
lyeth
;
from
whence
would
ensue
many
pernitious
accidents
.
But
if
the
bullet
be
in
the
neruous
or
noble
parts
,
although
it
were
but
of
Lead
,
it
could
not
continue
there
long
,
wi●hout
bringing
with
it
manie
great
inconueniences
:
therefore
when
it
cometh
to
passe
that
it
remaineth
a
lo●g
ti●e
in
the
body
,
it
is
in
the
fle●●y
parts
,
and
in
bodyes
of
good
temperature
and
habitude
,
otherwise
it
cannot
st●y
there
,
without
inducing
pain
and
many
other
accidents
,

the

,
not

of
those
which
it
toucheth
,

also
of
those
that

that

hath
the

parts
,
the
breakings
or
vehement
concussions
of
the
bones
made
by

Bullets

do
cause
greeuous
accidents

of

,
as

doe
thinke
,
not
considering

of

the
which
(

it
is

for
if

it
onely
requirech

degenerate
(

(

the

that
were
then
receiued

bee
much
altered

corrupted

with
a
great
putrifaction
in

From

(
as

saide
before

were
eleuated
many

from

proceeded

In
like
manner
you
may
apply
of
your
Frontals
to
roborate
the
animall
faculty
,
to

The
way
to
apply
it
is
thus
.
Take
a
linnen
cloth
,
and
folde
it
vp
fiue
or
six
times
double
;
that
done
,
dip
it
in
the
aforesaid
commixtion
,
and
so
apply
it
on
the
Temples
a
little
warme
,
which
being
dry
ought
to
bee
renewed
againe
.
Herein
note
,
that
in
this
case
the
head
ought
not
to
be
bound
hard
,
lest
that
therby
the
free
pulsation
of
the
arteries
of
the
temples
be
hindred
,
whereby
the
paine
of
the

might
bee
augmentrd
.

Memorable
Histories

OFtentimes
the
aforesaide
wounds
are
accompanied
with
many
indispositions
,
as
oedemateus
tumors
,
fracture
of
the
bones
,
and
the
like
,
Historie
.
as
(
for
the
yong
Chirurgians
sake
)
I
will
relate
this
historie
for
an
example
,
of
the
hurt
of
the
Earle
of
Mansfelt
,
Gouernour
of
the
Dutchy
of
Luxembourg
,
Knight
of
the
order
of
the
King
of
Spaine
,
who
was
hurt
at
the
battell
of
Moncontour
,
with
a
Pistoll
shot
vpon
the
ioynt
of
his
right
arme
or
elbow
,
which
fractured
the
bones
;
whereof
there
were
many
that
were
fractured
in
such
small
peeces
as
if
they
had
bene
broken
with
a
Mallet
,
because
he
receiued
the
blow
so
neere
at
hand
,
and
through
the
violence
and
force
of
the
blow
,
there
hapned
vnto
him
many
accidents
;
as
extreme
dolors
,
inflammation
,
feauer
,
an
oedemateous
Tumor
;
a
flateous
or
windy
tumor
all
the
arm
ouer
,
yea
euen
to
the
ends
of
the
fingers
,
together
with
a
preparation
vnto
a
Gangrena
.
Which
to
preuent
,
and
also
the
totall
mortification
therof
,
M.
Nicholas
Lambert
,
and
M.
Richard
Hubert
,
Chirurgeons
in
ordinary
to
the
King
,
had
made
many
and
deepe
scarifications
.
Now
by
the
Commandement
of
the
King
,
I
was
sent
for
to
come
vnto
the
aforesaide
patient
to
dresse
him
:
where
being
arriued
,
seeing
the
aforesaide
accidents
to
be
accompanied
with
a
most
faetide
putrifaction
,
we
were
resolued
to
apply
on
the
saide
scarifyed
parts
,
of
Aegyptiacum
fortified
and
dissolued
in
vineger
and
Aqua-vitae
and
such
remedieswhich
are
proper
for
the
cure
of
Gangrenaes
.
Ouer
and
besides
these
accidents
,
the
saide
Lord
had
a
flux
of
the
belly
,
by
the
which
he
expelled
of
the
fanie
quitture
which
came
from
the
Vlcers
of
his
arme
.
This
many
will
not
beleeue
,
forasmuch
(
as
they
say
)
that
if
it
should
descend
by
the
belly
,
it
followeth
of
necessitie
that
the
saide
matter
should
be
mixed
with
the
blood
.
Also
that
in
passing
neere
vnto
the
heart
,
and
through
the
Liuer
,
it
woulde
cause
many
accidents
,
yea
death
it selfe
.
Neuerthelesse
I
doubt
not
but
that
I
haue
sufficiently
answered
all
these
Obiections
,
how
and
in
what
manner
it
is
done
in
my
booke
Of
the
suppression
of
the
vrine
;
wherefore
,
if
any
desire
to
know
the
reason
thereof
,
he
may
haue
recourse
to
the
saide
Booke
.
In
like
manner
,
the
said
Lord
fel
of●entimes
into
a
Syncope
,
by
reason
of
the
putrified
vapours
which
ascended
vp
from
the
vlcers
,
which
vapors
by
the
Nerues
,
Veines
,
and
Arteries
,
were
communicated
to
the
stomack
,
Aqua-vitae
with
a
little
Trea●le
recall
〈◊〉
presenthe
the
spirites
,
and
comforteth
the
vital
faculty
.
and
other
noble
parts
.
For
which
cause
I
gaue
him
sometimes
a
spoonefull
of
Aqua
vitae
to
drinke
,
wherein
I
dissolued
a
little
Treacle
.
Mounsieur
Bellanger
,
Physitian
in
ordinary
to
the
King
,
and
Mounsieur
le
Bon
Physitian
to
my
Lord
the
Cardinall
of
Guize
,
men
of
vnderstanding
,
and
expert
in
Physicke
and
Chirurgerie
,
imployed
all
their
skill
(
as
much
as
was
possible
)
to
resist
his
Feauer
,
and
other
accidents
which
hapned
to
him
.
As
for
the
Oedemateous
and
flatulent
tumor
which
wholy
occupied
al
the
arme
,
I
applied
thereon
staples
wet
in
Oxycrat
,
with
salt
,
and
a
little
Aqua-vitae
,
and
other
remedies
,
which
shortly
shall
bee
shewed
.
Then
with
double
clothes
I
●ewed
them
vp
as
strong
&
hansomly
as
I
could
possible
,
that
is
to
say
,
as
much
as
the
said
Lord
could
indure
it
.
This
compression
serueth
both
to
containe
the
fractured
Bones
in
their
places
,
and
also
to
expell
the
sanies
from
the
vlcers
,
and
to
repel
the
humors
towardes
the
center
of
the
bodie
.
And
when
the
binding
and
rolling
of
his
arme
was
omitted
,
the
tumour
did
increase
in
such
manner
,
that
I
verie
much
feared
the
natural
heate
of
his
arme
would
be
suffocated
and
extinguished
.
Now
for
to
make
anie
other
manner
of
Ligature
it
was
altogether
impossible
,
because
of
the
extreame
paine
that
hee
felt
,
if
his
arme
had
bene
remoued
neuer
so
little
.
There
hapned
vnto
him
also
many
Apostumes
about
the
ioynt
of
his
elbow
,
and
in
other
partes
of
his
arme
:
wherefore
to
giue
issue
to
the
Sanies
,
I
made
him
manie
incisions
;
all
which
the
saide
Lorde
indured
willingly
,
telling
me
that
if
two
would
not
serue
,
make
three
,
yea
foure
;
such
was
the
desire
that
he
had
to
be
out
of
his
paine
,
and
to
be
cured
.
Then
(
smiling
to
my selfe
)
I
told
him
that
he
deserued
to
be
hurt
,
and
not
these
tender
and
delicate
persons
,
who
wil
rather
suffer
themselues
to
rot
,
yea
to
indure
the
paines
of
death
,
then
to
indure
anie
necessary
incision
to
be
made
for
the
restoring
of
their
healths
.
Now
,
to
shorten
his
cure
,
he
vsed
of
a
Vulnarie
potion
,
and
somtimes
there
was
incerted
with
a
Syringe
into
his
vlcers
of
Aegyptiacum
dissolued
in
wine
,
or
else
in
the
saide
Potion
,
or
rather
Mel
Rosarum
insteed
of
the
Egyptiacum
to
mundifie
them
,
and
to
correct
their
putrifaction
;
and
other
remedies
which
would
be
too
tedious
here
to
recite
:
and
among
others
,
of
the
powder
of
Alome
combusted
,
to
dry
vp
and
consume
the
high
and
spongeous
flesh
.
Also
for
the
mundification
of
the
said
vlcers
,
I
vsed
a
long
time
nothing
but
dry
Lint
,
which
was
as
much
in
quantity
euerie
dressing
,
as
a
Mans
fist
.
And
on
a
day
,
seeing
that
he
was
without
paine
,
and
that
the
flesh
began
to
regenerate
,
I
told
him
that
now
he
began
to
bee
wel
:
then
he
saide
to
me
laughing
,
I
know
it
very
wel
,
for
now
I
see
you
doe
not
vse
the
fourth
part
of
the
Lint
you
did
before
.
In
the
time
of
his
curation
,
I
protest
that
I
tooke
from
him
more
then
threescore
peeces
of
bones
.
Of
the
which
,
some
were
as
great
as
my
finger
broken
in
a
verie
strange
figure
,
yet
notwithstanding
the
said
Lord
(
thankes
be
to
God
)
was
perfectly
cured
:
onely
it
remaineth
that
he
cannot
,
nor
neuer
will
,
bow
or
stretch
forth
his
arme
.
Historie
.
Mounsier
de
Bassompierre
,
Collonel
of
two
hundred
horse
,
the
day
of
the
aforesaide
battaile
,
was
hurt
with
such
another
shot
,
and
had
a
great
part
of
the
aforesaid
accidents
:
whom
also
I
drest
vntill
his
perfect
curation
,
which
(
thankes
bee
to
God
)
he
attained
.
True
it
is
,
that
hee
continueth
impotent
as
the
other
Lord
is
.
After
that
I
had
cured
the
aforesaid
Lords
,
the
Earle
of
Mansfelt
,
and
Bassompierre
,

receiued

vlcerate
in
compasse
as
much
as
the
palme
of
my
hand
(
because
he
had
lyen
so
long
time
on
his
backe
)
hee
tooke
not
any
rest
day
nor
night
,
with
losse
of
appetite
of
meate
,
but
dranke
inough
.
Hee
was
somtimes
surprized
in
his
bed
with
the
fits
of
the
Epilepsie
,
&
had
oftentimes
a
desire
to
vomit
,
with
a
continuall
shaking
,
insomuch
that
he
could
not
bring
his
hand
to
his
mouth
without
the
helpe
of
another
;
he
fel
oftentimes
into
a
Syncope
or
fainting
of
the
heart
,
because
of
the
putrified
vapors
that
were
communicated
to
the
stomacke
and
the
noble
parts
,
by
the
Veines
,
Arteries
,
and
Nerues
:
the
which
we
eleuated
from
his
vlcers
,
and
from
the
corruption
of
the
bones
.
For
the
Thigh-bone
was
fractured
and
shiuered
both
long
wise
and
ouerthwart
,
with
diuers
splinters
;
whereofsome
were
already
separated
,
others
not
.
Hee
also
had
an
hollow
vlcer
neere
vnto
the
groine
,
which
ended
about
the
middle
of
the
thigh
.
Moreouer
hee
had
other
sinuous
and
caniculous
Vlcers
about
the
Knee
.
All
the
Muscles
both
of
the
thigh
and
legge
were
extremely
tumified
and
imbued
with
a
flegmaticke
,
cold
,
moyst
,
and
flatulent
humor
,
in
such
sort
,
that
the
natural
heate
was
verie
neere
suffocated
and
extinguished
.
Seeing
al
these
accidents
,
and
the
strength
and
vertue
of
the
patient
greatly
decayed
and
abated
,
I
was
stroke
with
an
exceeding
sorrow
,
because
that
I
was
sent
vnto
him
,
and
seeing
little
hope
of
recouery
,
for
I
feared
greatly
that
he
would
die
vnder
my
hands
.
Neuerthelesse
,
God
&
Nature
effect
meruailous
things
.
considering
his
youth
,
I
had
some
small
hope
,
for
God
and
Nature
bringeth
sometimes
such
things
to
passe
,
which
seemeth
vnpossible
to
the
Chirurgian
.
I
then
demanded
of
the
saide
Lord
,
if
hee
had
a
good
courage
:
and
told
him
likewise
,
that
if
hee
would
indure
the
making
of
certaine
incisions
,
the
which
for
his
curation
were
very
necessary
,
by
that
meanes
his
paines
and
his
other
accidents
would
cease
.
He
answered
,
that
he
would
willingly
indure
whatsoeuer
I
thought
conuenient
,
yea
,
to
the
amputation
of
his
legge
,
if
I
thought
it
necessary
.
Then
I
was
verie
ioyful
,
and
presently
after
I
made
two
Orifices
to
giue
issue
to
the
Matter
that
lay
about
the
bone
,
and
in
the
substance
of
the
Muscles
,
wherby
there
yssued
forth
a
great
quantity
.
Afterwards
,
iniection
was
made
with
wine
,
and
a
little
Aqua-vitae
,
wherein
there
was
dissolued
a
good
quantity
of
Egyptiacum
,
to
correct
the
putrifaction
,
and
to
dissicate
the
loose
&
spongeous
flesh
,
and
to
resolue
and
consume
the
ordemateous
and
flatulent
tumor
,
and
to
ease
his
paines
,
to
refocillate
and
fortifie
the
natural
heat
which
was
greatly
prepared
to
be
altogether
suffocated
,
because
the
parts
could
not
concoct
nor
assimilate
the
nourishment
necessary
for
them
,
by
reason
of
the
great
quantity
of
matter
therein
contained
.
His
Chirurg●an
,
named
M.
Anthony
Maucler
,
an
honest
man
,
of
great
experience
in
Chirurgery
,
dwelling
at
Mons
in
Haynault
,
and
my selfe
,
we
concluded
to
make
him
fomentations
,
with
the
decoctions
of
Sage
,
Rosemarie
,
Time
,
Lauander
,
Camomile
flowers
,
Melilot
,
and
red
Roses
boyled
in
white
wine
:
and
so
a
lexiue
made
with
the
ashes
of
oake
,
a
little
portion
of
vinegar
,
and
an
handfull
of
salt
.
This
decoction
so
made
,
hath
vertue
and
power
to
subtilize
,
attenuate
,
incise
,
resolue
and
to
dissicate
the
colde
,
grosse
,
and
●legmaticke
humor
,
and
to
roborate
the
wounded
parts
.
The
said
fomentations
were
vsed
a
long
time
together
,
to
the
end
that
the
resolution
may
thereby
be
made
the
greater
.
For
being
applyed
long
together
,
it
resolued
more
,
by
liquifying
of
the
humour
which
was
in
the
profound
partes
:
whereas
otherwise
it
would
haue
but
rarifyed
the
skin
,
or
the
fleshy
parts
of
the
Muscles
.
And
for
this
intention
we
made
him
many
frications
with
hot
Kerchiefes
in
all
manners
,
Galen
in
the
6
of
the
Method
.
that
is
,
from
the
higher
parts
downewards
,
and
from
the
left
side
to
the
right
:
also
circular
wise
,
and
this
a
long
space
together
.
For
the
breefe
Frications
,
I
meane
those
that
are
made
in
short
time
,
maketh
attraction
,
but
resolueth
nothing
at
all
.
In
like
manner
euery
other
day
,
there
was
applied
all
about
his
Thigh
and
legges
,
euen
to
the
sole
of
his
foot
,
of
Brickes
heated
and
sprinkled
with
vineger
and
white
wine
,
with
a
little
portion
of
aqua
vitae
;
and
through
this
euaporation
,
you
shoulde
perceiue
many
Aquosities
to
proceed
foorth
of
the
pores
of
the
skin
by
sweating
,
whereby
the
tumor
diminished
,
and
the
naturall
heate
was
reuoked
.
Also
there
was
applyed
compresses
or
Boulsters
on
the
tumified
parts
,
dipped
and
infused
in
a
levine
made
of
the
ashes
of
oake
;
with
the
which
,
was
boyled
Sage
,
Rosemary
,
Lauander
,
Salte
,
Aqua
vitae
and
Cloues
;
and
Ligature
was
made
with
such
dexterity
as
the
patient
could
well
endure
it
:
and
to
so
good
purpose
,
that
if
it
had
bin
but
one
day
omitted
,
wee
might
easily
perceiue
the
tumor
.
Also
there
was
applyed
good
big
Bolsters
on
the
bottome
of
the
sinus
of
the
vlcers
,
to
depresse
and
expell
away
the
Sanies
.
And
sometimes
for
the
better
accomplishing
thereof
,
the
orifices
of
the
vlcers
were
kept
o●en
with
hollow
Tents
.
Somtimes
also
to
resolue
the
tumor
,
there
was
applyed
a
Cataplasine
thereon
made
thus
:

In
like
manner
,
The
Emplaster
of
Vigo
is
resolutiue
.
wee
made
vse
of
the
Emplaisters
of
Vigo
sine
mercurio
,
which
helped
greatly
to
ease
his
paines
,
and
to
resolue
the
saide
Tumor
.
Neuerthelesse
it
was
not
applyed
vntil
the
parts
were
first
heated
,
by
the
meanes
of
fomentations
,
Frications
,
and
euaporations
,
or
otherwise
that
Emplaster
could
neuer
haue
wrought
that
effect
thorough
the
cold
distemperature
of
the
parts
.
Now
for
the
Mundification
of
the
vlcers
there
was
applyed
remedies
proper
thereunto
,
chaunging
and
alteting
them
according
as
wee
found
occasion
.
Also
the
Catagmaticke
powders
to
separate
the
bones
,
and
to
correct
their
putrifaction
were
not
spared
him
:
hee
vsed
also
for
the
space
of
fifteene
dayes
of
vulnary
potion
.
I
may
not
here
omit
to
speake
of
the
Frications
which
hee
suffered
euery
Morning
vniuersally
ouer
the
whole
body
,
which
was
greatly
extenuated
and
weakned
both
by
reason
of
his
dolors
,
&
other
accidents
(
as
we
haue
saide
)
and
also
for
the
want
of
exercise
.
The
benefit
of
vniuersal
Frications
.
The
said
Frications
did
reuoke
and
attract
the
spirits
and
the
blood
,
and
resolued
such
fuligenous
humors
which
were
detained
betweene
the
skin
and
the
flesh
.
And
therefore
the
parts
were
afterwardes
better
nourished
and
refreshed
;
so
that
so
soone
as
his
paines
beganne
to
passe
away
,
as
also
the
Feauer
,
he
began
to
sleepe
well
,
and
to
haue
a
good
appetite
,
and
therefore
we
caused
him
to
vse
good
Meates
,
and
to
drinke
good
wine
and
good
be●r●
;
&
we
brake
our
fasts
together
,
hee
and
my selfe
euery
Morning
,
with
good
nourishing
Br●thes
:
and
by
this
meanes
he
became
fat
and
lasly
,
and
perfectly
cured
.
Onely
it
remaineth
that
he
cannot
wel
bend
his
knee
.
Now
the
reasons
that
mooued
mee
to
recite
these
Histories
,
is
onely
to
instruct
the
yong
Chirurgian
to
the
practise
thereof
,
and
not
that
anie
glory
of
praise
might
be
attributed
to
me
:
but
to
restore
them
to
God
,
knowing
that
all
goodnesse
proceedeth
from
him
as
from
an
euerlasting
fountaine
,
and
nothing
of
our selues
.
And
therfore
we
ought
to
giue
thankes
vnto
him
for
all
our
good
workes
;
humbly
beseeching
him
to
continue
and
augment
them
more
and
more
in
vs
,
through
his
infinite
goodnesse
.
CHAP.
XV.
An
Apologie
touching
wounds
made
by
Gun-shot
.
THere
hapned
into
my
hands
not
many
dayes
past
,
A
iust
occasio●
of
the
Author
for
his
Apology
a
certaine
Book
written
by
a
Physitian
;
wherin
he
very
openly
contradicteth
that
which
I
haue
written
heretofore
,
as
concerning
wounds
made
by
Gunshot
and
their
curations
.
I
protest
that
if
there
were
no
other
cause
,
or
that
there
were
no
other
interest
heerein
then
the
contemning
of
me
and
my
Book
,
I
would
let
these
things
alone
,
and
passe
them
away
vnder
silence
;
knowing
well
,
that
all
answers
and
replies
whereby
we
striue
to
stop
the
Mouths
of
euill
speakers
,
do
oftentimes
rather
giue
them
a
further
occasion
of
speaking
then
otherwise
;
and
that
there
is
no
better
way
to
stay
such
Controuersies
,
then
by
not
answering
one
word
.
Euen
as
we
see
that
the
fire
is
extinguished
when
the
combustible
matter
ceaseth
,
by
taking
away
the
wood
.
But
when
I
did
consider
the
euident
danger
that
many
wold
fall
into
,
if
they
came
to
follow
those
rules
and
instructions
that
the
saide
Physitian
setteth
downe
for
the
cure
of
the
saide
wounds
,
I
therefore
thought
it
my
duty
to
preuent
this
euill
,
and
to
hinder
it
as
much
as
lieth
in
mee
,
in
regard
of
my
profession
.
The
which
beyond
that
common
affection
which
all
men
owe
to
the
publike
weale
,
doeth
binde
me
particularly
to
this
,
in
such
manner
,
that
I
could
not
with
a
good
conscience
become
deaf
and
dumbe
,
when
both
my
particular
and
generall
duties
,
do
binde
and
constraineime
to
speake
.
This
therefore
was
the
true
cause
that
did
solicite
me
to
make
this
Apologie
,
rather
then
any
passionate
or
boyling
desire
in
me
,
to
haue
my
reuenge
of
him
who
hath
truly
assaulted
me
.
Now
in
this
booke
,
he
pretendeth
to
despise
&
contemne
the
application
of
suppuratiue
Medicines
,
as
Bassilicon
,
and
others
of
that
nature
.
Basilicon
liquefied
into
an
oyle
,
is
proper
in
al
woundsthat
●equire
suppuration
.
Also
of
those
that
are
sharpe
,
as
Egyptiacum
,
and
such
like
.
For
(
saith
he
)
such
remedies
haue
beene
the
cause
of
the
deathes
of
an
infinite
number
of
men
,
whereunto
they
haue
beene
applyed
;
yea
,
although
that
their
wounds
were
but
superficiall
,
and
in
fleshy
parts
.
And
that
heerein
the
counsell
of
Hippocrates
ought
not
to
be
followed
,
Hyp.
in
his
●●●ke
of
vl●e●s
.
who
saieth
,
that
all
contused
wounds
ought
to
be
broght
to
suppuration
,
because
(
sayth
he
)
this
is
a
new
disease
,
and
vnknowne
to
the
Ancients
,
and
therefore
it
requireth
new
remedies
.
Also
that
thunder
and
the
violent
effect
thereof
,
ought
not
to
bee
compared
to
the
reports
of
Artillery
.
Now
seeing
that
he
striueth
to
contradict
all
that
I
haue
written
before
in
my
book
of
wounds
made
by
Gunne-shot
,
Arrowes
▪
and
Dartes
,
I
am
constrained
for
my
defence
,
to
repeate
somewhat
of
that
which
I
haue
heeretofore
divulged
,
to
reproue
all
these
points
(
as
I
hope
)
one
after
another
.
First
of
all
,
that
suppuratiue
Medicines
are
not
proper
in
such
wounds
,
it
is
against
reason
,
authority
,
and
experience
:
for
euery
one
knoweth
that
the
Bullet
being
round
and
massiue
,
cannot
make
any
entrance
into
our
bodies
,
without
great
contusion
and
bruising
;
the
which
cannot
bee
cured
without
suppuration
,
according
to
the
authority
not
onely
of
Hippocrates
,
but
also
of
Galen
,
and
all
other
Authors
both
Ancient
and
Moderne
.
And
what
doth
it
serue
him
to
call
such
new
woundes
,
to
derogate
from
the
saying
of
Hippocrates
whom
we
hold
to
be
the
Father
,
Author
,
and
Founder
of
the
Lawes
of
sacred
Medicine
,
which
are
worthy
of
all
esteeme
and
praise
aboue
all
others
,
because
they
are
not
subiect
to
change
,
as
all
others
that
are
established
by
Kings
and
Princes
,
neyther
are
they
tied
to
the
prescription
of
times
,
nor
the
customes
of
Regions
.
Therfore
if
I
haue
herein
followed
the
Hippocratick
Doctrine
,
which
is
alwayes
found
true
and
st●ble
,
I
perswade
my self
to
haue
done
well
.
And
therein
I
haue
not
bene
in
that
conceit
alone
;
for
Mounsieur
Botall
,
Physitian
in
ordinary
to
the
King
,
and
Mounsieur
Ioubert
Physitian
to
the
King
also
,
and
his
Lecturer
in
ordinary
in
the
vniuersity
of
Mont-pellier
,
men
well
experimented
both
in
Physicke
and
Chirurgery
,
haue
lately
written
of
this
matter
.
Commending
,
and
commanding
the
application
of
Bassi●ic●n
&
other
suppuratiues
in
the
beginning
of
such
wounds
.
These
men
,
because
they
haue
followed
the
warres
,
haue
seene
more
wounded
by
shot
,
then
our
Physitian
hath
done
all
his
life
time
.
As
for
experience
,
there
is
an
infinite
number
of
other
good
Chirurgians
,
and
greatly
experimented
,
who
haue
and
do
vse
of
these
remedies
in
the
beginning
,
to
bring
those
wounds
to
suppuration
,
if
there
be
no
Indication
that
doth
contradict
it
.
I
know
moreouer
that
an
Empericall
Chirurgean
,
a
neighbour
of
his
called
Doublet
,
Doubles
an
Empirick
.
hath
many
and
sundry
times
done
meruailous
cures
,
by
applying
onely
in
those
woundes
a
suppuratiue
Medicine
,
composed
of
melted
Bacon
,
the
yolke
of
an
Egge
,
terebinthinae
,
with
a
little
Saffron
,
and
this
he
held
for
a
great
secret
.
There
was
also
another
at
Thurin
in
the
yeere
1538.
(
I
being
then
in
the
seruice
of
the
late
Marshall
of
Monte-ian
,
Lieutenant
Generall
of
the
King
at
Piedmont
)
who
had
the
report
aboue
all
the
Chirurgeans
in
those
partes
,
for
his
excellent
cur●ng
of
those
woundes
with
Oleu●
Catellorum
;
the
description
whereof
,
I
procured
of
him
thorough
my
earnest
intreaty
.
This
oyle
is
of
power
to
lenisie
and
appease
the
paine
,
and
to
suppurate
those
woundes
beeing
applied
a
little
more
then
luke-warme
,
and
not
boyling
hote
,
as
manie
will
.
This
an
infinite
number
of
Chirurgeans
haue
vsed
,
after
that
I
had
described
it
in
my
Booke
of
wounds
made
by
Gun-shot
with
good
and
happy
successe
.
As
for
that
which
he
writeth
against
the
Vnguent
Egyptiacum
,
certainely
I
beleeue
that
he
abideth
in
that
opinion
and
heresie
alone
,
Answer●
t●
th●
〈◊〉
of
Igyptia●um
.
because
there
hath
not
bin
yet
discouered
a
more
singular
remedie
to
correct
and
preuent
the
putrifaction
which
happeneth
most
commonly
in
those
wounds
,
the
which
doe
degenerate
oftentimes
into
virulent
,
corrosiue
,
ambulatiue
,
and
malignant
Vlcers
,
casting
forth
a
stinking
Sanies
,
whereby
the
part
salleth
into
a
Gangrena
,
vnlesse
it
be
preuented
by
Egyptiacum
,
and
other
sharpe
medicines
.
And
for
this
cause
they
haue
bene
very
much
approued
by
the
saide
Botal
and
Ioubert
,
and
of
all
good
Chirurgeans
;
yet
neuertheles
our
Physitian
maintaineth
that
they
are
venomous
,
because
(
saith
he
)
that
being
applyed
in
woundes
by
Gunne
shot
,
they
haue
beene
the
cause
of
the
death
of
many
persons
;
which
is
a
thing
so
absurd
and
against
reason
,
that
I
will
leaue
the
resolution
thereof
to
the
Towne-Barbers
,
who
I
am
sure
are
of
skill
sufficient
to
confute
the
grossenes
of
that
imputation
;
or
if
their
want
of
iudgement
be
such
that
they
cannot
,
yet
the
consideration
of
euerie
one
of
the
ingredients
of
the
sayde
Aegyptiacum
would
suffice
to
shew
,
that
it
is
so
free
from
anie
venomous
quality
,
that
it
doth
resist
,
&
is
directly
contrary
to
all
sorts
of
poisons
and
putrifactions
which
may
happen
in
the
fleshy
partes
,
by
reason
of
any
wound
or
vlcer
.
He
saith
moreouer
,
that
the
disposition
of
the
aire
cannot
be
the
cause
to
infect
or
restore
wounds
more
daungerous
at
one
time
then
at
another
.
Herein
also
he
is
of
this
opinion
alone
.
But
if
hee
had
well
read
and
vnderstood
Hippocrates
,
he
had
not
so
lightly
contemned
the
constitution
of
the
seasons
,
and
the
infection
proceeding
from
the
aire
not
simple
and
Elementary
(
for
being
simple
,
it
neuer
acquireth
any
putrifaction
)
but
by
addition
and
commixtionwith
other
corrupted
vapors
,
as
I
haue
written
in
my
treatise
of
the
Pestilence
:
For
inasmuch
as
the
aire
that
doth
incompasse
&
inclose
vs
,
is
perpetually
necessary
vnto
our
liues
;
it
followeth
therefore
,
that
according
to
the
indisposition
thereof
,
our
bodies
also
altered
in
manie
and
sundry
manners
,
because
we
do
draw
it
continually
by
meanes
of
the
Lungs
and
other
partes
,
seruing
vnto
respiration
;
and
also
by
the
pores
&
euery
little
inuisible
hole
throughout
the
bodye
,
and
by
the
Arteries
dispersed
in
the
skinne
.
And
this
is
done
both
for
the
generation
of
the
spirite
of
life
,
and
also
to
refresh
and
foment
our
naturall
heate
.
For
this
cause
,
if
it
be
immoderately
hotte
,
cold
,
moist
,
or
dry
,
or
otherwise
distempered
,
it
altereth
and
changeth
the
temperature
of
our
bodies
vnto
its
owne
quality
.
This
is
cleerely
seene
:
for
when
it
is
infected
by
the
putrified
and
Cadaueruous
vapors
produced
from
a
great
multitude
of
dead
bodies
that
haue
not
bene
buried
soone
enough
;
as
of
men
,
of
ho●ses
,
and
other
beasts
.
As
it
happeneth
after
any
battell
,
or
when
many
men
haue
perished
by
shipwracke
,
and
haue
bene
cast
ashore
through
the
violence
of
the
waues
.
As
for
example
,
the
memory
is
yet
f●esh
,
of
the
corruption
of
the
aire
which
proceeded
from
deade
bodies
at
the
castle
of
Pene
,
situate
vpon
the
riuer
of
Lot
,
in
which
place
,
in
the
yeare
1562.
in
the
moneth
of
September
,
whiles
the
first
troubles
hapned
about
Religion
,
there
was
a
great
number
of
dead
bodies
fell
into
a
pit
of
an
hundred
fathome
deepe
,
or
thereabouts
:
from
whence
,
two
moneths
after
,
there
was
eleuated
such
a
stinking
and
venomous
vapor
,
which
dispersed
it selfe
ouer
all
the
countries
of
Agenois
,
and
the
neighbouring
places
within
the
compasse
of
thirty
miles
round
,
that
thereby
many
were
infected
with
the
pestilence
,
whereof
we
need
not
wonder
;
for
the
wind
blowing
▪
and
driuing
the
exhalations
and
corrupted
vapors
from
one
countrey
to
another
,
doeth
infect
them
with
the
saide
pestilence
.
In
like
manner
,
the
euill
constitution
of
the
aire
,
whether
the
cause
be
manifest
or
hidden
,
may
make
wounds
to
become
putrified
,
alter
the
spirits
and
the
humors
,
and
cause
death
.
This
therefore
ought
not
to
be
attributed
vnto
the
woundes
,
because
that
they
which
are
hurt
,
and
those
that
are
not
,
are
both
equally
infected
,
and
fall
into
the
same
inconueniences
.
Mounsi●●r
d'
Alechamps
in
his
French
Chirurgery
spea●●ng
o●
these
thinges
which
hinder
the
c●●●t●on
of
Vlcers
,
hath
not
omitted
,
that
when
either
the
pes●●lence
,
or
any
Epidemicall
Disease
reigneth
in
any
Proui●ce
through
the
corruption
of
the
Aire
,
it
ma●●th
Vlcers
become
incureable
,
or
of
most
●●fficult
curation
.
The
good
old
man
Guido
,
in
his
Treatise
of
Vlcers
hath
also
writ
,
●hat
the
wounds
of
the
heade
were
more
h●r●er
to
cure
at
Paris
then
at
Auignon
,
and
that
the
Vlcers
of
the
legges
were
more
difficult
at
Auignon
then
at
Paris
,
forsomuch
as
at
Paris
the
aire
is
cold
and
moist
,
which
is
a
contrarie
thing
,
especially
to
wounds
in
the
head
.
Likewise
in
Auignon
,
the
heare
of
the
aire
doe
liquefie
and
subtilize
the
humors
:
and
therefore
,
more
easilie
and
in
greater
abundance
do
the
humors
fall
into
the
Legges
,
whereby
the
curation
of
the
Vlcers
in
those
partes
,
is
more
difficult
at
Auignon
then
at
Paris
.
But
if
any
one
alledging
experience
shall
say
the
contrary
,
that
the
wounds
in
the
head
are
for
the
most
part
mortall
in
hot
countreyes
:
To
him
I
answere
,
that
that
proceedeth
not
from
the
aire
,
as
it
is
more
hot
and
dry
,
but
rather
because
of
some
superfluous
humidity
and
euil
vapor
communicated
with
the
aire
,
as
in
the
places
about
Prouence
,
and
of
Italy
neere
vnto
the
Mediterrenean
sea
.
Now
,
there
is
not
a
Chirurgean
of
so
little
vnderstanding
,
that
knoweth
not
but
if
the
aire
be
hot
and
moyst
,
the
wounds
doe
easily
degenerate
into
a
Gangrena
and
putrifaction
.
As
for
experience
,
I
wil
giue
him
a
familiar
example
.
Wee
see
that
in
hot
and
moyst
weather
,
and
when
the
Southerly
winds
blow
,
that
flesh
doth
putrifie
in
lesse
then
two
houres
,
though
it
were
neuer
so
lately
killed
,
in
such
fort
that
Butchers
in
those
times
do
kill
no
meate
but
euen
as
they
sell
it
.
Also
there
is
no
doubt
to
be
made
but
that
humane
bodies
doe
fall
into
affections
against
Nature
,
when
the
qualities
of
the
seasons
are
peruerted
through
the
euil
disposition
of
the
aire
:
as
hath
bene
seene
,
that
in
some
yeres
,
wounded
persons
haue
bin
most
hard
to
cure
,
and
oftentimes
dyed
of
very
smal
wounds
,
what
diligence
soeuer
the
Physitians
and
Chirurgians
could
vse
.
The
which
I
noted
well
at
the
siedge
which
was
planted
before
Roan
:
for
the
corruption
of
the
aire
did
alter
and
corrupt
the
blood
and
humors
in
such
sort
,
by
the
meanes
of
inspiration
and
transpiration
,
that
the
wounds
became
so
putrid
and
faetide
,
that
they
sent
forth
a
Cadauerueous
smell
:
and
if
it
hapned
that
one
day
had
bene
omitted
wherein
they
had
not
beene
drest
,
you
shall
finde
the
next
day
a
great
companie
of
wormes
in
them
,
with
a
meruellous
stench
;
from
whence
were
eleuated
many
putrified
vapours
,
which
by
their
communication
with
the
hart
caused
a
continual
F●uer
,
with
the
Liuer
hinderance
of
the
generation
of
good
bloode
,
and
with
the
Braine
they
produce
alienation
of
the
spirits
,
fainting
,
convulsion
,
vomitings
,
and
by
consequence
death
:
and
when
their
bodies
were
opened
,
you
should
finde
Apostumes
in
many
partes
of
theyr
bodies
full
of
a
greene
stinking
Sanies
,
in
such
sort
that
those
that
were
within
the
Town
seeing
these
things
,
that
their
wounded
persons
coulde
not
be
cured
,
saide
that
those
without
had
poisoned
their
bullets
:
and
they
without
saide
the
like
of
those
within
:
and
then
perceyuing
that
those
wounds
did
rather
turne
to
putrifaction
then
vnto
any
good
suppuration
,
I
was
constrayned
,
and
with
mee
the
most
part
of
all
the
Chirurgea●s
to
leaue
suppuratiues
,
and
insted
of
them
to
vse
the
Vnguent
Aegyptiacum
,
and
other
such
like
remedies
,
to
preuent
the
said
putrifaction
&
Gangrena
,
and
other
of
the
aforesaide
accidents
.
Moreouer
,
if
the
diuers
courses
of
the
heauens
haue
power
and
force
to
imprint
a
pestilence
in
vs
thorough
the
influence
thereof
,
why
is
it
not
possible
that
the
like
may
be
done
in
a
wound
,
to
infect
it
after
many
wayes
?
Experience
it self
giueth
vs
a
good
and
sufficient
testimony
,
not
onely
in
hot
weather
,
but
also
in
winter
.
For
we
see
that
euery
patient
whether
he
be
wounded
,
or
otherwise
disposed
against
Nature
,
are
tormented
more
of
their
greefes
when
the
weather
is
subiect
to
raine
,
then
when
it
is
faire
weather
.
And
the
reason
is
,
because
the
vapour
and
moyst
aire
,
and
southerne
winds
,
do
inwardly
mooue
and
agitate
the
humors
which
afterwards
do
discharge
themselues
vpon
the
afflicted
parts
,
&
thereby
increase
their
paines
.
Our
Physitian
hath
also
written
,
that
in
the
battels
of
Dreux
and
of
S.
Denis
,
which
were
fought
in
the
winter
time
,
there
dyed
a
great
number
of
men
,
that
I
confesse
too
;
but
I
deny
that
it
was
by
the
application
of
suppuratiue
medicines
,
or
of
Corrosiues
,
but
thorough
the
vehemencie
of
their
wounds
,
and
the
disorder
that
the
Bullets
made
in
their
members
,
whereunto
the
nature
of
the
wounded
parts
helped
greatly
,
and
the
temperature
of
the
patient
,
but
aboue
all
the
cold
.
For
the
cold
causeth
wounds
to
bee
of
most
difficult
curation
;
yea
,
sometimes
it
causeth
a
Gangrena
and
totall
mortification
,
as
witnesseth
Hippocrates
.
And
if
he
had
beene
with
me
at
the
siedge
of
Metz
,
he
should
haue
seen
many
soldiers
hauing
their
legges
eschiomened
by
reason
of
the
colde
,
and
an
infinit
company
of
others
that
died
of
the
colde
,
although
they
were
not
wounded
at
all
.
If
he
will
not
beleeue
this
,
I
will
but
send
him
to
the
top
of
the
Mount
Senis
in
the
winter
time
,
where
many
haue
lost
their
liues
,
and
were
benummed
and
frozen
in
a
moment
;
witnesse
the
chappell
of
Transis
,
which
from
thence
had
that
Name
giuen
it
.
He
hath
in
like
maner
calumnied
me
,
because
I
compared
thunder
with
Artillery
.
Truly
it
may
be
saide
that
they
haue
like
effectes
:
for
this
Diabolical
1
Similitude
gun-powder
doth
such
merueilous
things
that
it
is
easie
to
proue
a
great
similitude
the
one
with
the
other
.
And
first
of
all
,
we
may
compare
the
fire
that
we
behold
to
issue
forth
of
the
Cannon
to
the
lightning
in
this
,
because
it
is
seen
before
the
Thunder
is
heard
,
so
is
it
with
the
other
:
and
this
happeneth
,
because
the
eare
is
not
so
quicke
as
the
eye
to
receiue
their
obiects
.
Wee
may
also
compare
the
dreadfulnes
of
the
reports
of
great
Ordinance
to
that
of
Thunder
.
2
similitude
For
when
there
is
made
any
notable
battery
with
great
Ordinance
,
their
reports
are
heard
sometimes
twenty
leagues
off
,
more
or
lesse
,
according
as
the
windes
carrieth
the
eccho
of
their
noise
.
The
first
reports
are
not
heard
so
plaine
,
as
those
that
follow
;
and
the
cause
is
,
for
that
the
multiplication
of
the
reports
following
and
succeeding
one
another
,
that
which
is
nerest
doth
driue
or
thrust
forward
that
which
is
next
him
,
and
that
in
like
manner
thrusteth
forwards
the
other
,
and
that
other
the
other
,
vntill
it
commeth
to
our
eares
.
In
like
manner
the
Bullets
are
carried
by
the
force
of
the
powder
,
with
such
an
inestimable
swiftnesse
,
that
they
breake
and
batter
all
that
they
meete
with
;
3
similitude
yea
,
they
haue
more
force
against
hard
and
vnresistable
things
then
against
soft
things
:
therein
also
they
do
resemble
Thunder
,
which
shiuereth
the
sword
in
the
scabberd
,
and
yet
the
scabberd
remaining
whole
,
melting
Siluer
in
a
purse
,
the
purse
vnburnt
.
In
like
manner
(
as
I
haue
said
here
before
)
hath
bene
seene
many
whom
the
Bullet
hath
neuer
touched
,
yet
neuerthelesse
thorough
the
impetuosity
of
the
aire
caused
by
the
violence
of
the
powder
issuing
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
canon
;
hath
broke
and
shiuered
the
bones
,
without
any
manifest
apparance
of
solution
of
continuitie
in
the
flesh
;
yea
,
to
haue
battered
and
killed
them
out
right
,
as
if
it
had
beene
with
a
thunder-clap
.
Gunpowder
also
hath
a
stinking
smell
,
4
●imi●itude
senting
of
Brimstone
;
imitating
therin
that
odour
that
continueth
in
that
place
where
a
Thunder-bolt
hath
lately
falne
;
which
smell
,
is
not
onely
abhorred
of
men
,
but
also
all
Animalles
are
therefore
constrained
to
abandon
and
forsake
their
dennes
and
caues
when
it
hath
fallen
nere
thereunto
:
so
great
is
that
sulphurous
stinke
that
it
leaueth
b●hind
it
.
But
yet
their
similitudes
is
more
manifested
by
the
effects
of
the
saide
powder
;
5
similitude
the
which
beeing
enclosed
in
a
Mine
,
and
conuerted
into
winde
or
aire
by
meanes
of
the
fire
that
is
put
thereunto
,
it
ouer-whelmeth
peeces
of
earth
as
great
as
mountaines
▪
breaketh
and
demollisheth
strong
towers
,
reuerseth
mountaines
vpside
downe
.
This
I
haue
already
manifested
by
that
history
which
I
haue
elsewhere
written
,
which
was
that
at
Paris
;
there
was
seene
not
long
since
a
sodaine
disaster
by
reason
of
the
powder
in
the
Arcenall
,
which
taking
fire
,
it
caused
such
a
great
tempest
,
that
it
made
the
whole
Towne
to
shake
,
ouer
whelming
those
houses
that
were
neere
thereunto
,
Hor●ible
effects
of
gun-powder
.
vncouering
&
vnglasing
those
that
were
further
from
the
furie
thereof
.
To
be
breefe
,
euen
as
the
thunder
doth
massacre
and
reuerse
men
halfe
dead
here
and
there
;
taking
from
some
their
sight
,
from
others
their
hearing
,
and
leaueth
others
so
torne
in
their
members
,
as
if
foure
horses
had
drawne
them
to
peeces
:
and
all
this
through
the
agitation
of
the
aire
into
whose
substance
the
saide
powder
was
conuerted
.
The
like
acte
happened
in
the
Towne
of
Malignes
,
in
the
yeere
1546.
by
the
fall
of
a
thunderbolt
,
within
a
great
and
strong
Tower
,
wherein
there
was
a
great
quantity
of
Gunpouder
,
the
which
did
ouerthrow
and
reuerse
almost
the
one
halfe
of
the
Towne
,
and
killed
a
great
number
of
persons
,
whereof
I
sawe
a
while
since
many
remarkable
tokens
.
These
examples
in
my
opinion
are
sufficient
to
content
our
Physitian
,
and
to
shew
him
that
there
is
a
great
similitude
betweene
the
effects
of
Gun-powder
and
Thunder
.
Neuerthelesse
,
I
will
not
for
all
that
confesse
that
Gunshot
is
accompanied
with
poyson
and
fire
as
the
claps
of
Thunder
:
for
although
they
do
agree
the
one
with
the
other
,
as
doth
appeare
by
the
former
similitudes
,
it
is
not
in
the
substance
and
matter
,
but
in
theyr
manner
of
breaking
,
battering
,
and
dissipating
of
the
obiects
which
they
meete
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
thunder-claps
by
the
meanes
of
the
fire
,
and
the
stone
engendred
therein
,
and
Gunne-shot
by
the
ayre
impetuously
agitated
,
which
guiding
the
bullet
,
causeth
the
like
tempestuous
disaster
,
that
the
thunder
doth
.
These
things
considered
,
may
wee
not
therefore
confesse
,
that
those
who
haue
written
that
the
Cannon
shot
and
Thunder
to
haue
a
great
similitude
together
,
haue
had
reason
so
to
do
?
Finally
,
this
Physitian
hath
not
taken
much
paines
to
prooue
that
Gun-pouder
was
not
venomous
,
and
that
the
bullets
are
without
anie
burning
at
all
.
Neither
in
like
manner
to
inuent
and
name
the
Instruments
proper
for
the
extraction
of
all
strange
bodies
,
because
he
hath
found
them
already
digested
in
my
booke
,
with
manie
other
things
which
he
hath
written
,
as
euerie
one
may
know
by
comparing
his
book
with
mine
.
He
hath
also
inriched
his
Book
with
many
sentences
and
reasons
which
he
hath
collected
from
an
Italian
Author
,
named
Bartholomaeus
Magius
,
Physitian
of
Bolognia
,
who
hath
written
sufficiently
thereof
in
a
Treatise
called
De
Vulnerum
sclopetorum
curatione
,
although
he
doth
not
acknowledg
him
for
his
guide
.
But
hauing
traduced
him
almost
word
for
word
,
hath
made
it
neuerthelesse
his
owne
,
and
of
a
Translator
,
would
bee
called
Author
.
Now
let
vs
come
to
his
goodly
practise
and
new
method
to
cure
wounds
made
by
Gun-shot
.
A
new
kind
of
suppuratiue
.
First
of
all
,
hee
would
haue
applyed
suppuratiue
Medicines
,
the
which
neuerthelesse
he
doeth
not
vnderstand
to
be
hot
and
moist
,
nor
of
an
emplasticke
substance
;
but
to
the
contrary
,
he
ordaineth
them
to
be
hot
and
dry
,
because
(
saith
hee
)
that
this
is
not
of
the
nature
of
an
Apostume
,
wherein
there
is
required
no
other
cure
but
only
to
suppurate
them
.
But
heere
where
the
woundes
are
with
contusion
,
many
and
diuers
Indications
arise
from
thence
;
for
so
much
as
the
contusion
would
be
concocted
and
digested
,
and
the
wound
desiccated
.
To
answer
to
this
,
I
would
send
him
to
learne
the
nature
and
quality
of
suppuratiues
in
Galen
in
the
5.
of
Simples
,
and
to
take
all
in
his
way
,
vntill
hee
come
to
the
tenth
of
his
Method
,
which
will
teach
him
,
that
in
complicated
diseases
he
ought
to
consider
the
cause
,
the
order
,
and
the
vigent
.
Moreouer
,
I
would
willingly
aske
of
him
if
hee
can
heale
that
wound
made
by
gunshot
,
vnlesse
th●
Contusion
be
first
suppurate
?
I
think
not
:
and
herein
I
refer
my selfe
to
the
iudgment
of
al
good
practitioners
;
and
therefore
our
Basi●icon
and
Oleum
Catellorum
,
and
other
such
suppuratiue
medicines
,
are
proper
to
suppurate
such
woundes
as
are
made
by
Gun-shot
.
Secondly
,
he
would
haue
Oxycratum
put
into
the
wound
to
stanch
the
fluxe
of
blood
:
and
if
by
that
means
it
cannot
be
stopped
,
to
apply
thereon
a
medicine
made
of
the
white
of
an
Egge
,
Bole
Armoniacke
,
Rose-vinegar
and
Salt
.
I
leaue
you
to
consider
whither
such
like
remedies
haue
power
to
stay
the
flux
of
bloud
or
no
,
they
being
put
with
in
the
wound
.
Truely
they
will
rather
make
it
flow
more
,
because
that
the
vinegar
is
of
a
gnawing
and
subtle
qualitie
,
causing
paine
,
defluxion
,
inflammation
,
&
other
euill
accidents
,
as
I
haue
knowne
by
experience
:
and
I
know
no
Chirurgean
that
hath
beene
exercised
in
his
Art
,
will
follow
such
a
kinde
of
practise
,
least
he
finde
himselfe
deceiued
in
the
end
.
To
this
purpose
I
do
remember
that
I
had
a
Moor
in
cure
,
who
belonged
to
Mounsieur
the
Earle
of
Roissy
,
who
was
hurt
before
Bologne
by
an
English
man
,
who
gaue
him
a
wound
with
a
Lance
thorow
the
backe
:
whereuppon
,
to
stay
the
Fluxe
of
blood
,
I
put
into
the
wound
a
restrictiue
,
wherein
there
was
Vinegar
insted
of
another
,
but
presently
after
he
came
to
me
againe
,
telling
me
that
he
thought
he
had
had
fire
in
his
arme
,
which
caused
me
to
dresse
him
anew
,
and
to
change
the
medicine
of
his
wound
,
and
to
apply
the
saide
restrictiue
vppon
it
.
I
beleeue
that
this
Physitian
knew
not
so
much
,
otherwise
I
esteeme
him
so
honest
a
man
that
I
thinke
he
would
not
haue
put
it
in
his
Booke
for
a
good
restrictiue
.
Moreouer
,
hee
commendeth
aboue
all
other
things
his
Balme
made
of
the
oile
of
wax
&
myrth
beaten
together
with
the
yolke
of
an
Egge
,
or
rather
the
naturall
Balsome
which
is
brought
from
Peru
,
and
saith
,
that
they
do
consume
the
superfluous
humidity
of
those
wounds
,
whereby
they
preuent
the
happening
of
any
perillous
accident
.
Neuerthelesse
,
he
saith
,
that
they
do
vnite
&
consolidate
those
kinde
of
wounds
,
as
they
do
which
are
incised
.
Truly
it
seemeth
very
strange
to
mee
,
to
see
that
any
would
go
about
to
dresse
and
cure
contused
wounds
,
as
simple
woundes
which
demand
nothing
but
vnion
.
Ouer
and
besides
,
these
Balmes
cannot
be
proper
in
wounds
made
by
gunshot
,
because
that
by
reason
of
their
siccitie
they
doe
hinder
suppuration
,
without
the
which
they
cannot
be
cured
.
And
if
they
be
needfull
at
all
,
it
is
onely
after
that
the
contusion
is
suppurated
,
&
the
wound
mundified
:
and
then
I
know
not
wher
we
should
finde
so
many
extractors
of
quintessences
to
extract
and
prepare
so
many
Balmes
as
shal
be
needfull
to
dresse
those
souldiers
which
shal
be
hurt
in
the
assault
of
a
Town
,
A
pleasant
answer
,
and
to
the
purpose
.
or
a
skirmish
in
battell
?
Neither
where
they
shall
get
mony
sufficient
to
counteruaile
the
charge
thereof
.
Let
vs
come
to
the
rest
.
He
ordaineth
that
these
Balmes
should
be
instilled
into
the
wounds
without
Tents
,
yet
afterwards
remembring
himselfe
,
he
saith
,
that
it
would
be
very
good
to
put
within
them
a
little
short
one
,
onely
to
keepe
the
Orifice
of
the
wound
open
.
How
is
it
possible
that
these
Balmes
and
Vnguents
should
bee
conueyed
into
the
bottome
of
the
wound
without
Tents
or
Setons
,
whose
vse
is
principally
to
carry
medicines
vnto
the
bottome
of
wounds
,
and
to
keepe
them
open
to
giue
issue
vnto
all
strange
bodies
?
All
good
practisers
will
neuer
agree
with
him
in
this
point
,
nor
those
which
know
what
it
is
to
handle
such
wounds
.
Now
there
is
yet
another
thing
worthy
to
bee
well
noted
,
and
that
is
this
:
After
that
he
had
reproued
the
Vnguent
of
Egyptiacum
,
hee
neuerthelesse
forgetting
himselfe
,
commandeth
it
to
be
applyed
from
the
beginning
vntill
the
wound
bee
altogether
suppurated
,
and
to
be
thus
vsed
.
Take
(
saith
he
)
of
Egyptiacum
dissolued
in
a
decoction
on
made
of
the
tops
of
Wormwood
,
and
of
Hypericon
,
and
of
the
lesser
Centaury
and
Plantan
,
and
this
to
be
iniected
into
the
wound
.
H●
describeth
after
that
another
,
made
of
Plantane
water
,
and
hony
of
Roses
boiled
togither
vnto
the
thicknesse
of
hony
,
and
then
scumming
of
it
wel
,
therewi●hall
mixe
Egyptiacum
in
equall
parts
:
&
(
saith
he
)
this
vnguent
doth
suppurate
those
Woundes
which
are
made
by
Gun-shot
,
I
leaue
the
experimented
Chirurgicall
Readers
to
iudge
whether
such
remedies
be
suppuratiue
or
not
.
As
for
me
I
do
esteeme
them
to
bee
proper
to
mundifie
and
clense
,
and
not
to
suppurate
.
He
finally
writeth
,
that
the
wound
ought
not
to
be
dressed
but
once
in
foure
dayes
,
and
where
there
shall
bee
fracture
of
the
bones
once
in
eight
dayes
.
He
saith
moreouer
in
another
place
,
that
it
is
conuenient
to
instill
euery
day
ten
or
twelue
drops
of
balme
into
the
wound
.
Truely
this
doctrine
serueth
rather
to
confound
the
yong
Chirurgean
,
as
not
knowing
what
manner
of
practise
hee
should
followe
:
Euill
p●actisers
do
open
both
the
heaue●●
and
the
ea●th
.
for
whosoeuer
should
follow
his
,
I
am
well
assured
he
will
open
often
both
the
heauens
and
the
earth
;
the
heauens
to
receiue
their
soules
,
and
the
earth
their
bodies
.
But
wee
haue
spoken
enough
of
this
matter
for
this
time
,
inasmuch
as
I
am
well
assured
,
that
these
small
caui●lations
shall
nothing
at
all
diminish
the
reputation
of
my
Booke
,
which
is
by
strangers
so
much
esteemed
,
that
they
haue
translated
it
into
their
owne
mother
tongues
,
therby
to
haue
communication
therewith
.
Therefore
now
we
wil
bid
our
Physitian
farewell
,
but
first
would
pray
him
to
review
and
correct
his
Booke
as
soone
as
he
could
,
to
the
end
that
the
yong
Chirurgean
bee
no
longer
retained
in
those
errours
which
they
may
apprehend
by
reading
therein
:
for
the
shortest
follioes
are
the
best
.
CHAP.

Another
Discourse
about
the
question
of
the
venenosity
of
wounds
made
by
Gunshot
.
NOt
many
moneths
since
,
I
chanced
to
bee
in
the
company
of
many
learned
Physitians
and
expert
Chirurgeans
,
who
by
way
of
discourse
began
to
put
the
venenosity
of
woundes
made
by
Gun-shot
;
they
principally
striuing
by
fiue
Reasons
to
proue
that
venenosity
may
bee
conioined
with
those
woundes
,
not
because
of
the
powder
,
which
they
confesse
with
mee
to
be
free
from
venome
or
poison
both
in
the
composition
and
essence
thereof
,
but
by
reason
of
the
bullet
,
within
the
which
poyson
may
be
infused
,
mixed
,
and
incorporated
.
The
first
reason
is
,
1
Reason
.
because
that
Leade
is
verie
rare
and
spongeous
,
as
the
facility
of
the
dissoluing
and
softnesse
thereof
do
shew
,
and
therfore
by
consequence
very
easie
to
receiue
the
imbibition
or
infusion
of
any
venomous
liquor
.
I
answer
that
that
consequence
seemeth
to
me
to
bee
but
of
small
assurance
:
for
in
all
artificiall
mixtions
,
Answer
.
as
is
that
whereof
we
speake
,
there
are
two
things
to
be
considered
;
the
matter
of
the
bodies
which
enter
into
the
commixtion
;
and
the
forme
according
to
the
matter
.
Such
bodies
ought
eyther
to
be
liquid
,
or
soft
,
or
brittle
,
and
easie
to
bee
diuided
into
small
portions
;
to
the
end
,
that
altogither
and
on
euery
part
,
they
may
meete
,
ioy●e
,
and
vnite
.
According
to
the
forme
they
ought
to
be
alliable
and
computible
th'
one
with
the
other
.
This
is
euidently
knowne
by
the
water
,
which
though
it
be
easie
to
mix
with
an
infinit
number
of
other
things
,
yet
neuerthelesse
they
cannot
bee
mixed
together
,
by
the
reason
of
the
antipathy
of
their
formes
.
So
Golde
and
Siluer
are
so
amorous
of
Lead
,
that
when
they
are
to
bee
dissolued
,
they
are
mingled
therewith
;
but
Brasse
doth
flye
from
Lead
as
much
as
gold
and
siluer
do
fly
from
Tin
.
If
therefore
Lead
and
Brasse
be
melted
together
,
they
can
by
no
meanes
be
mixed
together
,
thogh
both
are
contained
vnder
Metallicke
kinds
.
How
then
can
there
be
incorporated
with
Lead
any
venomous
thing
,
being
different
both
in
forme
and
kinde
?
Let
vs
come
to
the
second
reason
.
Iron
(
they
say
)
which
is
more
hard
,
2
Reason
.
solid
and
compact
,
may
neuerthelesse
receiue
a
certaine
venomous
quality
,
as
we
see
by
impoysoned
Arrowes
,
whereof
our
Ancestors
haue
heeretofore
vsed
;
and
therefore
Lead
(
by
more
reason
)
may
receiue
the
like
venomous
quality
.
Answer
.
To
answere
to
that
,
I
confesse
that
the
poyson
may
well
bee
receiued
on
the
superficies
of
the
Iron
,
but
not
in
the
inwarde
substance
thereof
,
by
way
of
commixtion
.
Now
here
the
question
is
of
incorporation
,
and
not
of
a
simple
infusion
or
Vnction
.
Let
vs
heare
the
third
reason
.
3
Reason
Although
that
Lead
(
say
they
)
when
it
is
melted
,
doeth
leaue
behinde
it
a
kinde
of
grosse
excrement
:
neuerthelesse
,
it
is
not
therfore
made
vnapt
to
receiue
the
infusion
of
any
straunge
substance
.
For
,
euen
as
steele
a
mettall
amongst
all
others
the
most
solid
,
doeth
receiue
in
the
woorking
thereof
,
a
temper
which
doeth
harden
it
of
a
cleane
contrarie
substance
.
For
answer
(
I
say
)
that
when
the
temper
is
giuen
to
steele
,
it
is
not
receiued
within
the
inw●rd
substance
thereof
;
for
,
Answer
if
such
a
thing
were
necessary
for
the
hardning
thereof
,
it
might
bee
easier
done
at
that
time
when
it
is
first
drawn
and
melted
,
then
to
giue
it
the
Temper
,
it
would
better
incorporate
therewith
then
afterwards
when
it
is
taken
and
consolidate
into
a
barre
.
This
answer
shall
likewise
serue
to
confute
the
fourth
reason
,
4
Reason
by
the
which
(
say
they
)
that
the
iuice
of
Napellus
and
Rhododendron
of
Apium
risus
,
and
such
like
,
who
of
their
whole
substance
,
do
hurt
&
corrupt
ours
beeing
mingled
with
Lead
,
there
may
thereby
be
made
such
a
venomous
commixtion
;
that
those
wounds
which
it
maketh
,
must
of
nec●ssity
become
venomous
.
I
say
to
the
contrarie
,
Answer
that
the
mixture
is
only
of
things
which
may
not
onely
be
applyed
,
but
also
fixed
,
incorporated
,
&
vnited
the
one
to
the
other
.
Now
how
can
water
or
any
other
liquid
iuyce
only
be
made
to
adhere
and
cleaue
to
Lead
which
is
hard
&
solid
,
I
meane
in
that
fashion
that
they
may
be
vnited
:
the
variety
heereof
may
bee
iudged
better
by
experience
,
then
by
reason
.
Cause
Lead
to
be
melted
within
the
iuices
heretofore
recited
,
or
any
other
that
you
will
choose
(
hauing
first
weighed
them
seuerally
)
and
you
shall
finde
the
iust
measure
of
the
iuices
,
and
the
true
waight
of
the
Lead
,
as
they
were
before
:
a
most
euident
signe
,
that
no
part
of
the
Lead
is
incorporated
with
the
iuyces
,
nor
the
iuyces
to
haue
lost
any
of
their
substance
.
The
first
reason
is
this
;
The
Bullet
shot
out
of
a
Musket
against
a
stone
or
any
bodye
of
the
like
hardnesse
,
5
R●ason
.
is
not
thereby
so
much
heated
,
but
that
it
may
neuerthelesse
be
handled
in
the
bare
hand
though
it
be
taken
presently
after
it
was
shot
:
and
therefore
it
is
false
to
affirme
,
that
the
poyson
infused
in
the
Bullet
,
may
be
consumed
by
the
fire
of
the
flaming
powder
.
I
answer
,
you
must
note
that
when
I
said
that
although
the
Bullet
may
be
handled
,
neuerthelesse
,
the
fire
would
consume
the
force
of
the
poyson
;
my
meaning
was
,
not
the
fire
of
the
flaming
powder
,
Answer
.
when
the
Musket
is
shot
off
,
but
that
fire
which
is
vsed
to
incorporate
the
molten
Lead
with
the
sayde
poyson
,
the
which
immediately
working
vpon
the
poyson
,
being
not
yet
wholly
enwrapped
and
couered
in
any
strange
body
▪
and
hauing
time
and
leysure
to
worke
that
effect
,
and
not
at
an
instant
and
altogither
,
it
may
if
not
consume
,
yet
at
the
least
greatly
abate
the
forces
of
the
said
poyson
.
Those
that
wil
not
content
themselues
with
these
reasons
,
let
them
read
Matthiolus
vppon
the
Preface
of
his
sixt
Booke
of
Di●scorides
.
There
are
(
sayth
he
)
of
late
men
so
ignorant
and
fool●sh
,
A
great
Anotation
.
that
they
do
cause
to
cast
amongst
their
Gold
and
Siluer
when
it
is
melted
,
wherewith
they
intend
to
make
any
drinking
vessell●s
of
Treacle
,
Methridate
,
and
other
Antidotes
,
to
the
end
these
mettals
hauing
acquired
euen
at
the
beginning
the
vertues
of
the
aforesaid
Antidotes
may
resist
all
poisons
.
But
howe
ridiculous
and
foolish
this
opinion
is
,
they
themselues
may
iudge
,
if
they
haue
but
any
mean
knowledge
of
naturall
things
,
and
principally
of
Mettals
.
And
therefore
,
there
shall
not
neede
a
more
euident
refutat●on
.
Behold
the
reasons
,
behold
the
authority
,
which
haue
retained
in
my
first
opinion
,
that
wounds
made
by
Gunne-shot
are
not
conioyned
with
any
venenosity
.
Heere
let
not
the
Reader
builde
too
much
on
the
opinion
of
Ambrose
Parie
;
for
I
thinke
there
is
not
any
Chirurgean
that
will
deny
but
that
a
bullet
may
bee
poysoned
,
notwithstanding
the
former
reasons
,
which
I
leaue
to
be
considered
by
the
iudicious
and
experimented
Chirurgean
.
CHAP.
XVII
.
The
differences
betweene
such
wounds
which
are
made
by
arrowes
,
and
those
made
by
Gunshot
.
THese
wounds
which
are
made
by
Arrowes
,
Crosse-bow
shot
,
or
such
like
Instruments
,
do
differ
in
two
things
from
those
which
are
made
by
Gunshot
and
other
fierie
Engines
.
For
somtimes
they
are
found
without
Contusion
,
which
neuer
hapneth
to
wounds
made
by
Gunne-shot
.
Oftentimes
also
they
are
empoysoned
,
and
according
to
these
two
differences
,
their
curations
ought
to
be
diuersified
.
Now
let
vs
consider
the
differences
of
Arrowes
and
Darts
,
because
that
consideration
serueth
greatly
vnto
the
knowledge
and
curation
of
the
said
wounds
.
CHAP.
XVIII
.
Of
the
differences
of
arrowes
and
Darts
.
A
Rrowes
and
Dartes
doe
differ
in
matter
,
in
forme
or
figure
,
in
magnitude
,
in
number
,
in
manner
,
and
faculty
or
vertue
.
Their
differences
in
matter
is
,
some
of
them
are
of
Wood
,
others
of
Canes
or
Reeds
:
some
of
them
haue
their
extremities
or
heads
garnished
with
Iron
,
Tinne
,
Lead
,
Brasse
,
Horne
,
Glasse
,
or
of
bone
,
and
others
not
.
Their
differences
in
forme
are
,
some
of
them
are
round
,
others
angular
,
others
sharpe
,
others
barbed
;
some
of
them
hauing
their
pointes
turned
backwardes
,
and
some
haue
it
diuided
into
two
parts
:
some
are
made
broad
in
their
heads
and
cutting
like
a
knife
,
and
in
many
other
forms
and
fashions
inumerable
.
As
for
their
magnitude
,
some
of
their
heads
are
of
three
fingers
in
length
;
others
of
a
smaller
size
.
Their
number
causeth
a
difference
herein
;
because
that
some
are
simple
,
hauing
but
one
point
onely
;
others
are
composed
into
two
or
many
.
Also
in
them
their
manner
is
to
be
confidered
;
for
some
of
them
haue
the
Iron
or
head
inserted
within
the
woode
of
the
Arrow
,
and
of
others
the
Arrow
is
inserted
into
the
head
.
Some
heades
are
sixed
and
nayled
vnto
the
shaft
,
and
others
not
;
but
haue
so
little
hold
,
that
in
drawing
them
foorth
,
their
heads
remayne
behinde
in
the
wounds
,
whereby
they
become
more
daungerous
.
Their
faculty
maketh
them
also
to
differ
in
this
,
because
that
some
are
(
as
hath
bene
saide
)
empoysoned
and
others
not
.
Such
are
the
speciall
and
proper
differences
of
Arrowes
and
Darts
:
according
to
the
which
,
the
dispositions
which
they
leaue
behinde
them
,
doeth
diuersifie
their
curation
.
Thou
mayst
behold
by
this
following
figure
the
aforesaid
differences
.
CHAP.
XIX
.
Of
the
differences
of
the
wounded
partes
.
THese
d●fferences
exposed
.
Now
wee
must
consequently
speak
of
the
diuersity
of
the
affected
parts
,
which
are
either
fleshy
or
bony
;
som
of
them
are
neere
the
ioynts
,
others
within
them
.
Some
with
a
great
Flux
of
bloode
,
and
fracture
of
the
bones
,
others
not
.
Some
of
them
in
the
princall
members
,
or
in
parts
seruing
them
;
some
are
deepe
,
Ne●essarie
iudg●ment
to
auoyde
scandall
.
others
but
superficiall
.
And
if
in
anie
of
these
woundes
there
appeare
any
manifest
signes
of
death
,
you
ou●ht
to
make
a
true
&
sure
iudgement
thereof
,
before
you
meddle
there-with
,
to
the
end
that
there
be
no
occasion
giuen
vnto
the
ignorant
people
to
speake
euill
of
our
Art
.
Now
,
to
leaue
the
Arrow
in
the
body
,
would
cause
vneuitable
death
,
and
the
Chirurgean
would
be
esteemed
vnpittiful
and
inhumane
,
and
by
drawing
it
forth
the
Patient
may
peraduenture
escape
.
For
,
as
wee
haue
saide
▪
it
is
better
to
attempt
a
doubtful
remedy
,
then
to
let
the
Patient
dye
,
without
any
succour
at
all
.
CHAP.
XX.
Of
the
extraction
of
Arrowes
.
AS
touching
the
extraction
of
Arrowes
,
you
ought
to
auoyde
the
incising
,
dilacerating
,
and
breaking
of
the
Veines
,
and
Arteries
,
Nerues
and
Tendons
,
if
it
be
possible
.
For
it
would
be
an
ignominious
thing
and
against
Art
,
to
offend
Nature
more
then
the
Arrow
.
The
manner
to
draw
them
foorth
is
two-fold
;
the
one
of
them
is
by
extraction
,
and
the
other
by
thrusting
it
through
the
member
.
Therefore
,
euen
at
the
beginning
,
and
at
the
first
dressing
,
it
is
fittest
to
take
foorth
all
strange
bodyes
(
if
anie
there
be
)
as
the
heads
of
the
Arrowes
,
the
shafte
or
wood
,
and
other
such
like
things
,
as
hath
already
beene
saide
of
wounds
made
by
Gunne
shot
,
and
by
the
same
meanes
.
And
for
their
better
extraction
,
it
is
conuenient
that
the
Patient
bee
situate
in
the
same
figure
and
posture
,
as
at
that
time
when
he
was
hurt
,
because
of
the
Re●sons
aforesaide
(
if
it
be
possible
)
and
then
to
vse
instruments
proper
to
that
effect
.
as
principally
this
following
,
which
hath
an
hollow
quill
or
pipe
diuided
in
the
middle
,
the
outwar●e
par●
toothed
;
into
the
which
is
inserted
a
rod
,
like
vnto
the
Tire-fond
of
Gun-shot
,
as
hath
beene
figured
heere
before
,
excepting
onely
that
this
is
not
made
with
a
Scrue
in
the
extreamity
or
end
thereof
.
Also
it
is
made
greater
,
to
dilate
the
hollow
pipe
,
therby
to
fill
the
cauity
of
the
Iron
head
.
This
other
Instrument
also
is
very
proper
,
which
dilateth
by
compressing
the
two
extremities
together
,
being
toothed
also
on
the
outward
part
;
as
you
may
see
by
these
following
Figures
on
the
other
side
the
leafe
.
The
first
Instrument
is
opened
by
meanes
of
a
Vice
,
which
is
inserted
within
the
hollowe
Pipe
thereof
.
The
second
Instrument
doeth
dilate
,
by
compressing
the
two
ends
together
.
The
signes
whereby
you
may
know
where
the
Iron
head
is
,
that
if
you
feele
with
your
hande
on
that
part
where
it
is
,
you
shall
perceiue
an
asperity
and
inequality
.
Also
the
flesh
wil
appeare
contused
,
liuid
,
and
blacke
,
and
the
Patient
will
feele
an
heauinesse
and
continuall
paine
in
the
wounded
part
.
The
other
two
Instruments
are
called
Tenacles
,
with
a
Vice
,
together
with
a
Crowes
bill
:
and
is
very
commodious
to
draw
forth
the
heads
of
Arrowes
,
and
to
extract
foorth
Maile
and
other
smaller
bodies
.
This
Instrument
vnderneath
,
is
another
small
Hooke
to
draw
forth
Maile
,
or
any
other
strange
body
,
that
it
cannot
meete
with
:
which
also
may
serue
thy
turne
for
the
same
effect
,
in
the
woundes
of
Gun-shor
.
But
if
it
come
to
passe
that
the
head
bee
barbed
,
whether
it
be
of
an
Arrow
,
Pike
,
Dart
,
or
Lance
,
and
shall
abide
in
any
part
of
the
bodye
.
As
for
example
,
in
the
Thighe
or
Legge
,
together
with
some
portion
of
the
wood
broken
therein
,
in
that
case
the
Chirurgean
shall
cut
away
the
woode
or
shaft
as
close
as
hee
can
,
with
incising
or
cutting
Tenacles
.
Afterwardes
he
may
draw
foorth
the
head
with
Tenacles
that
are
toothed
,
as
you
may
see
by
the
figure
before
going
.
Hippocrates
in
the
fifte
of
his
Epidemies
saith
,
That
he
hath
drawne
forth
the
head
of
an
Arrow
sixe
yeares
after
it
was
shot
,
it
being
lodged
nere
vnto
the
Groine
.
CHAP.

.
How
you
ought
to
proceede
in
drawing
forth
broken
Arrowes
.
BVT
if
it
come
to
passe
,
that
the
head
is
broken
,
in
such
sort
that
it
cannot
by
any
meanes
bee
apprehended
by
the
aforesaide
Tenacles
,
let
it
be
extracted
then
(
if
it
be
possible
)
with
the
Cranes
bill
,
or
Crowes
bill
,
or
other
Instruments
,
that
haue
beene
described
heere
before
:
but
if
the
shaft
be
broken
off
so
neere
the
heade
,
that
there
can
bee
taken
no
holde
,
neyther
of
the
head
thereof
,
nor
of
the
shaft
,
with
the
Cranes
bill
,
then
let
it
be
drawne
foorth
with
the
Tirefond
of
Gun-shot
,
for
if
it
will
insert
it selfe
into
Lead
,
by
a
greater
reason
it
may
easily
enter
into
wood
.
In
like
manner
,
if
the
head
bee
barbed
,
as
most
commonly
your
English
mens
Arrowes
are
,
then
if
it
be
possible
,
thrust
it
thorough
the
member
,
with
an
Instrument
proper
thereunto
.
For
,
by
that
meanes
you
shall
auoyde
greater
danger
,
because
that
in
drawing
it
foorth
,
the
Barbils
may
rend
both
the
Nerues
,
Veines
,
Arteries
,
and
the
other
parts
,
the
which
you
ought
to
auoide
carefully
.
And
therefore
it
is
better
to
make
a
counter
Orifice
on
the
other
part
,
iust
oueragainst
the
wound
,
and
so
to
thrust
it
cleane
through
.
For
,
it
may
be
supposed
,
that
there
is
but
a
little
thickenesse
to
incise
;
so
by
this
meanes
,
and
with
lesse
danger
the
wounde
will
haue
a
double
yssue
;
the
one
on
the
former
part
,
and
the
other
on
the
hinder
part
;
and
will
therefore
heale
sooner
,
because
you
may
apply
your
medicines
both
on
the
one
side
,
and
on
the
other
,
and
it
will
also
mundifie
better
.
To
the
contrary
,
if
the
barbed
head
happen
vpon
a
bone
,
or
be
inserted
therein
,
which
oftentimes
commeth
to
passe
in
the
bottome
of
the
Muscles
of
the
Thigh
,
of
the
Arme
,
or
Legge
,
or
other
parts
of
great
distance
,
there
it
is
not
conuenient
to
thrust
them
through
,
but
rather
to
dilate
the
wound
,
auoiding
the
Nerues
and
great
vessels
,
as
the
good
and
expert
Anatomical
Chirurgean
ought
to
do
,
and
then
gently
and
orderly
to
apply
therein
a
Dilatory
hollow
in
the
inward
part
thereof
,
and
so
to
place
it
,
that
it
may
apprehend
the
two
Barbils
of
the
Iron
head
:
then
with
the
Cranes
bill
it
may
be
held
steddy
,
and
so
draw
them
forth
all
three
together
,
as
this
figure
following
sheweth
thee
.

●ilatory

hath
a

What
ought
to
be
done
when

is
inserted

NOw
,
if
it
happen
that
the
Arrow
is
so
inserted
and
fixed
in
the
Bone
,
that
it
cannot
be
taken
foorth
by
thrusting
it
thorough
the
member
,
but
by
drawing
it
foorth
by
the
same
way
that
it
entered

you
ought
then
to
mooue
and
stirre
it
too

fro
discreetly

sticke
fast
in

CHAP.
XXIII
.
Of
venomous
or
empoysoned
wounds
.
NOw
there
remaineth
to
vnderstand
and
consider
,
that
these
woundes
are
sometimes
empoysoned
(
as
we
haue
saide
)
and
that
it
proceedeth
from
the
primitiue
cause
of
the
Arrowes
so
prepared
by
the
enemy
.
This
may
easily
be
known
both
by
the
report
of
the
hurt
person
,
saying
,
that
he
feeleth
a
great
and
pricking
paine
as
if
hee
had
bene
stung
with
Bees
(
especially
if
the
poison
wer
hot
,
which
is
most
vsed
in
that
case
)
and
also
by
the
flesh
of
the
wounded
part
,
which
presently
after
becommeth
pale
and
liuide
,
with
a
certaine
appearance
of
mortification
:
wherunto
also
there
doth
happen
many
other
g●oefes
,
and
greater
accidents
,
which
are
not
accustomed
to
happen
in
all
other
wounds
,
wherein
there
is
not
any
venenosity
.
Wherefore
at
the
beginning
(
after
that
you
haue
extracted
foorth
all
the
strange
bodies
,
if
any
there
be
)
you
ought
to
make
diuers
deepe
scarifications
all
about
the
wound
,
and
to
set
ventoses
thereon
with
a
great
flame
,
thereby
to
make
attraction
and
euacuation
of
the
virulent
matter
.
In
like
manner
,
the
sayd
attraction
may
be
done
,
by
causing
the
wound
to
bee
sucked
by
another
man
,
hauing
in
the
meane
time
a
little
Oyle
in
his
mouth
,
wherein
you
must
haue
a
care
that
hee
haue
not
any
Vlcer
therein
,
for
feare
left
that
the
poyson
so
sucked
and
attracted
cleaue
not
thereunto
.
Also
attraction
may
bee
made
by
the
application
of
Vnguents
,
Cataplasmes
,
Emplaysters
,
Vesiccatories
,
Cauteries
,
and
other
things
,
which
shall
be
declared
heereafter
in
our
particular
Booke
intreating
of
the
bitings
and
stingings
of
venomous
Beasts
