THE
FIRST
BOOKE
OF
THE
Generation
of
Man
.
CHAP.
I.
Of
the
Generative
or
Begetting
Seede
,
how
,
and
in
what
manner
it
hath
his
beginning
.
WE
observe
the
naturall
Procreation
of
man
,
The
procreation
of
man
,
such
as
the
generation
and
beginning
of
Plants
or
Herbes
.
to
be
altogether
such
,
as
we
perceive
the
Generation
&
beginning
of
Plants
,
or
Herbes
,
of
every
kinde
to
be
.
For
as
they
,
every
one
of
them
from
the
seede
of
his
kinde
,
cast
into
the
wombe
of
the
earth
,
doe
bud
,
or
increase
,
and
doe
naturally
grow
to
the
perfect
forme
of
his
proper
Nature
:
So
man
also
,
being
a
reasonable
creature
,
according
to
the
quality
of
his
body
,
doth
naturally
draw
his
originall
&
beginning
from
the
Sperme
,
and
Seede
of
man
,
projected
and
cast
forth
into
the
wombe
of
woman
,
as
into
a
field
.
But
that
matter
of
Generation
,
which
we
call
Sperme
or
Seede
,
What
the
begetting
seed
is
.
by
his
originall
and
nature
,
is
onely
a
superfluous
humour
,
the
residue
and
remainder
,
I
say
,
of
the
nutriment
and
food
,
and
the
superfluity
of
the
third
concoction
,
or
gestion
in
the
body
,
derived
and
conveyed
along
,
through
the
hidden
and
secret
organs
,
or
instruments
,
from
the
chiefest
members
of
the
body
,
unto
the
generative
parts
,
and
serveth
for
Generation
.
From
whence
it
hath
its
beginning
.
And
it
hath
his
beginning
and
breeding
,
from
the
residues
and
remnants
,
of
all
the
meats
belonging
to
the
nourishment
of
man
,
after
they
be
altered
,
and
transmuted
,
even
to
the
third
Concoction
:
of
the
superfluity
of
which
concocted
food
,
collected
and
gathered
together
,
in
his
proper
and
due
manner
,
it
is
evident
that
the
same
is
ingendred
,
according
to
the
constitution
of
the
age
and
nature
:
For
there
is
made
,
a
threefold
concoction
of
any
meat
,
Three
Concoctions
.
altered
and
converted
into
the
nourishment
of
the
living
creature
,
even
to
generation
of
Seed
,
that
concoction
neverthelesse
following
,
which
is
the
purest
of
all
concoctions
:
For
the
food
being
Concoction
.
1
sent
downe
into
the
stomacke
by
chewing
,
streight
,
way
the
pure
nutriment
,
which
is
ordained
to
the
other
part
(
the
dry
excrement
being
driven
downeward
thorow
the
guts
to
the
belly
)
through
the
sucking
veines
(
named
in
Latine
Meseraicae
)
carryed
,
as
it
were
,
to
one
gate
,
flowing
out
of
innumerable
chanels
,
is
brought
to
the
Liver
.
Where
,
to
the
disposition
of
the
former
concoction
,
made
in
the
stomacke
,
there
is
forthwith
made
the
second
concoction
,
in
the
Concoction
.
2
Liver
,
of
the
food
derived
unto
it
,
the
superfluous
matter
being
separated
,
that
is
to
say
,
both
kinds
of
choler
,
and
the
waterish
humor
drawne
and
attracted
by
the
emulgent
vessels
(
in
Latine
Vasa
emulgentia
)
that
it
being
strained
thorow
the
Kidnies
,
might
descend
down
into
the
Bladder
,
then
the
remnant
and
residue
refined
and
cleansed
in
the
Liver
by
this
concoction
,
that
is
to
say
,
blood
,
is
conveyed
over
to
the
heart
to
receive
his
vitall
administration
and
office
.
In
Concoction
.
3
the
heart
againe
is
made
the
third
concoction
of
the
food
,
being
received
at
one
time
:
For
there
blood
,
having
taken
unto
it
vitall
and
lively
Spirit
,
being
diffused
and
sent
abroad
throughout
the
severall
members
of
the
body
,
doth
againe
expel
and
void
out
that
,
How
seede
is
it
gendred
.
which
is
superfluous
in
it selfe
,
by
the
secret
pores
&
passages
.
At
length
,
here
the
Spirit
changeth
,
and
turneth
the
blood
conveyed
thorow
the
spermaticall
,
or
seede-vessells
(
being
branches
of
Vena
cava
)
there
also
further
concocted
,
into
the
Nature
of
Sperme
or
Seed
,
by
the
twined
revolutions
and
backe-turnings
of
the
smallest
vessells
for
this
purpose
,
and
by
the
Glandulous
,
or
kernelled
substance
of
the
testicles
,
and
the
seed
passages
(
which
they
call
Parastatae
)
availeable
in
that
behalfe
.
So
the
blood
exquisitly
wrought
,
and
laboured
,
and
,
for
the
most
part
,
converted
into
vitall
spirit
,
is
streight-way
conveyed
by
the
Arterie
,
named
Oborta
,
and
branches
thereof
,
to
all
the
other
members
of
the
whole
body
.
But
Concoction
.
4
afterward
in
the
fourth
place
(
that
we
may
adde
this
besides
our
purpose
)
there
is
made
an
alteraon
of
the
food
,
into
the
like
substance
of
the
thing
nourished
,
this
juyce
quickening
and
strengthening
life
,
which
being
the
purest
of
all
remained
lastly
with
the
vitall
spirit
;
that
thing
in
like
sort
being
expelled
,
in
sweat
thorow
the
pores
,
if
any
impure
thing
shall
be
remaining
,
or
ingendred
.
But
that
the
reason
of
this
generation
,
The
like
reason
of
seeds
in
Plants
.
and
beginning
may
be
made
more
plaine
,
and
evident
unto
us
:
we
will
declare
by
a
briefe
demonstration
hereunto
added
,
that
there
is
the
same
beginning
of
Plants
,
and
herbes
,
and
of
other
things
,
which
fall
under
the
same
consideration
,
that
Plants
and
Herbs
do
.
Therefore
as
in
the
seeds
of
every
kinde
,
the
graine
it selfe
cast
into
the
ground
is
the
food
,
and
,
as
it
were
,
the
first
subject
of
all
the
alteration
following
,
whereby
it
budds
&
springs
,
is
augmented
,
and
growes
up
into
a
Nature
like
unto
it
:
so
meat
being
taken
,
affordeth
in
mans
body
,
the
first
,
matter
to
variable
concoction
.
And
as
there
in
Plants
,
we
observe
a
most
certaine
separation
of
the
pure
from
the
impure
,
and
of
the
remnant
from
the
superfluous
matter
;
so
here
we
perceive
a
naturall
separation
and
sequestration
of
that
which
is
unprofitable
from
that
which
is
profitable
,
by
their
certaine
degrees
.
For
,
first
the
seed
being
commited
to
the
earth
,
by
and
by
swelling
with
moisture
of
the
same
,
strippeth
it selfe
from
that
little
skin
,
in
which
it
was
inclosed
,
and
springing
upward
,
casteth
forth
the
same
being
empty
,
as
a
dry
excrement
,
the
graine
in
the
meane
time
budding
and
sprouting
forth
,
that
it
may
proceed
forward
to
the
increase
.
Afterward
the
increase
and
growing
,
stretching
even
to
the
fruit
disrobed
and
bereaved
of
the
flower
;
the
second
purging
casteth
downe
the
flower
sprung
up
in
the
top
of
the
bough
,
but
preserveth
the
hope
of
the
fruit
,
being
stripped
of
his
flower
,
as
that
thing
which
remaineth
pure
and
profitable
,
by
the
second
purging
.
Afterward
,
the
fruit
being
growne
to
his
just
quantity
,
the
third
alteration
casteth
downe
the
leaves
,
as
the
superfluity
of
this
degree
,
but
ordaineth
the
fruit
,
being
now
so
often
cleansed
and
purged
,
for
the
utility
of
the
naurishm
nt
of
men
,
maturity
and
ripenesse
being
granted
unto
it
.
But
now
either
the
seede
breaketh
the
fruit
,
lying
hid
in
it
,
or
else
it
sendeth
it
out
by
putrefaction
,
and
being
cast
into
the
ground
,
it
hastenth
againe
into
the
property
of
its
owne
nature
,
not
tending
towards
it selfe
,
which
is
remaing
,
but
to
the
likenesse
of
his
first
originall
,
from
whence
it
had
his
beginning
:
that
in
the
same
it
is
altogether
true
.
Nature
ingenders
things
like
unto
it selfe
.
That
Nature
doth
ingender
things
like
unto
it selfe
:
For
every
thing
doth
naturally
covet
,
and
desire
the
forme
and
likenesse
of
that
,
from
whence
it
is
bred
:
whereby
thou
canst
not
see
apples
,
to
grow
from
a
peare
,
nor
peares
from
an
apple
,
unlesse
it
be
otherwise
procured
by
the
meanes
of
grafting
,
and
planting
.
Wherefore
the
same
thing
remaineth
,
to
be
acknowledged
in
the
Generation
of
man
and
woman
,
which
is
to
be
confessed
in
the
growing
of
Plants
and
Herbes
,
that
because
wee
see
bodies
well
distinguished
by
members
,
to
be
ingendred
of
seede
,
wee
may
also
beleeve
that
the
same
seed
doth
proceed
from
the
distinct
,
Whether
the
ingendring-seed
be
from
the
braine
.
and
severall
parts
of
the
body
;
wherefore
let
them
looke
what
and
how
well
they
speake
which
doe
affirme
,
the
seed
of
Generation
to
be
ingendred
of
the
braine
onely
,
when
as
it
is
not
so
agreeable
to
the
consideration
of
the
concoctions
,
A
good
part
of
the
seed
derived
from
the
braine
;
but
the
greatest
part
is
from
the
chiefest
parts
of
the
whole
body
.
nor
to
the
constitution
of
the
bodies
.
Truely
,
it
is
certaine
that
some
,
neither
also
a
small
part
,
is
derived
from
the
braine
,
but
the
chiefest
part
is
collected
and
gathered
together
from
the
chiefest
parts
of
the
whole
body
.
For
if
wee
say
,
that
this
should
be
ingendred
of
one
,
or
two
parts
onely
:
every
man
shall
perceive
that
this
consequence
would
follow
by
an
infallible
reason
,
What
the
consequence
would
be
,
if
the
seede
should
be
ingendred
of
one
or
two
parts
alone
.
to
wit
,
that
those
same
parts
only
,
should
be
ingendred
againe
.
Therefore
wee
say
rightly
,
that
besides
that
beginning
,
which
it
draweth
from
the
braine
,
it
is
ingendred
from
the
whole
body
,
and
the
most
especiall
parts
of
the
same
,
the
effect
it selfe
manifesting
the
cause
,
most
especially
when
wee
see
distinct
members
,
and
perfectly
finished
,
according
to
the
due
forme
of
the
body
,
in
things
procreated
and
brought
forth
.
We
have
on
our
side
,
Hippocrates
affirmeth
,
the
seed
to
be
collected
from
the
whole
body
.
against
the
opinion
of
others
,
Hippocrates
himselfe
,
being
the
Prince
of
all
Physicians
;
who
also
himselfe
doth
affirme
,
that
the
seed
is
collected
from
the
whole
body
,
and
so
truely
,
that
the
thing
begotten
,
doth
answer
and
agree
to
the
constitution
of
the
thing
begetting
,
of
feeble
seed
,
I
say
,
a
weake
man
being
borne
,
The
infirmities
and
ill-favoured
markes
in
children
proceeds
from
the
corruption
of
the
seed
in
parents
.
but
of
strong
seed
,
a
strong
and
lusty
man
being
borne
.
By
which
things
it
hapneth
,
that
also
many
times
we
see
the
infirmities
,
and
ill-favoured
markes
of
the
body
in
the
children
,
which
are
remaining
in
the
parents
,
which
we
doe
constantly
believe
,
to
have
passed
into
them
,
by
the
corruption
of
the
seed
.
Therfore
,
these
things
being
certainly
determined
,
concerning
the
beginning
and
matter
of
ingendring
seed
,
let
it
suffice
to
have
spoken
these
things
in
the
first
place
.
CHAP.
II.
Of
the
mixture
of
the
Seede
of
both
sex
,
also
of
the
substance
and
forme
of
them
.
BVt
after
the
wombe
(
which
is
a
generative
member
of
the
Female
sex
)
hath
conceived
the
seede
of
man
,
it
doth
admix
and
mingle
her
seed
also
to
it
,
so
that
of
both
the
seeds
of
both
sex
,
there
may
be
made
one
mixture
.
The
first
matter
of
the
Feature
.
Aristotles
opinion
.
But
about
the
first
matter
of
the
Feature
,
all
are
not
of
the
same
judgement
.
For
Aristotle
saith
,
that
the
Termes
of
the
woman
,
are
a
prepared
matter
,
of
the
whole
Feature
,
although
it
be
crude
and
indigested
,
which
is
form'd
&
fashion'd
by
the
seed
of
man
,
received
into
it
,
the
same
seed
being
turned
into
vitall
spirit
,
which
like
a
workman
,
doth
proportion
and
fashion
this
matter
,
like
a
Smith
plating
and
smoothing
his
rude
piece
of
Iron
upon
the
Anvill
.
But
Galen
declareth
,
Galens
opinion
.
that
both
the
seedes
confused
and
mingled
together
in
the
Matrix
,
are
the
first
matter
of
the
Feature
,
and
so
truly
,
that
with
out
the
due
mixture
of
these
,
nothing
can
be
conceived
,
nor
ingendred
.
Yet
although
the
mixture
of
these
may
be
made
equall
,
notwithstanding
it
is
out
of
all
doubt
,
that
the
quality
of
them
is
not
alike
:
The
seede
of
man
more
hot
and
thick
than
womans
.
for
the
seed
of
man
doth
exceed
womans
seed
,
in
heate
and
thicknesse
,
which
incomparison
of
mans
seed
,
is
more
moist
and
cold
,
and
therefore
also
it
is
manifest
that
it
is
more
waterish
,
yea
,
in
respect
of
the
temperature
.
The
womans
seed
affordeth
the
like
helpe
as
mans
doth
in
framing
the
Feature
.
But
neverthelesse
,
although
they
differ
so
much
in
quality
,
the
womans
seed
doth
yeeld
and
afford
the
like
help
and
furtherance
,
in
framing
the
Feature
,
that
the
seede
of
man
doth
,
so
that
the
seeds
doe
mutually
grow
,
and
increase
at
once
together
,
by
the
vertue
of
both
of
them
.
Further
,
when
as
menstruous
blood
,
is
the
matter
of
womans
seed
(
that
as
well
the
beginning
of
this
,
as
of
mans
seede
,
may
be
evident
unto
us
)
we
must
understand
,
What
the
Termes
are
.
that
the
Termes
(
named
in
Latin
Menstruum
)
are
no
other
thing
,
(
a
naturall
consideration
being
had
of
them
)
than
the
excrement
of
the
third
concoction
,
or
digestion
,
gathered
together
,
and
voyded
every
moneth
(
named
the
monethly
Purgation
,
of
the
Latine
words
,
Every
woman
of
a
sound
constitution
ought
to
have
her
naturall
and
monethly
purgation
.
mensis
Lunaris
)
for
every
woman
being
of
that
age
,
which
may
indure
this
Purgation
,
so
that
her
body
be
of
a
sound
and
healthfull
constitution
,
ought
naturally
to
be
Purged
and
cleansed
from
this
superfluous
matter
every
moneth
;
And
for
the
same
cause
the
Germans
do
name
this
Purgation
,
Flowers
;
because
even
as
the
trees
which
doe
not
blossome
and
send
forth
flowerrs
either
through
age
or
corruption
of
Nature
,
doe
not
fructifie
,
nor
bring
forth
fruit
:
Without
naturall
purgation
in
due
se●ion
,
women
cannot
conceive
nor
ingender
.
so
also
every
woman
deprived
of
these
Flowers
,
I
say
,
of
this
purging
in
her
due
season
,
by
the
course
of
Nature
,
can
neither
conceive
,
nor
ingender
,
being
like
unto
an
unfruitfull
and
a
barren
man
,
destitute
and
deprived
of
the
same
vertue
,
and
faculty
of
ingendring
,
either
by
some
defect
or
corruption
,
or
because
naturall
heat
is
exhausted
and
wasted
,
by
his
over-moist
and
cold
complexion
.
CHAP.
III.
Of
the
three
Coates
,
wherewith
the
Feature
is
invironed
,
defended
and
covered
.
THe
little
roome
,
or
coffin
being
ingendred
after
the
conception
;
the
vitall
Spirit
inclosed
in
the
same
,
rouseth
and
putteth
forth
it selfe
,
and
then
the
defences
or
caules
are
ingendred
to
the
Feature
conceived
.
And
first
,
truely
,
of
the
uttermost
face
and
superficies
of
the
seede
,
because
of
the
waterish
moisture
and
humidity
of
womens
seede
,
is
ingendred
a
thin
and
slender
membrane
,
or
caule
,
which
by
reason
of
his
moist
quality
,
is
extended
and
stretched
abroad
;
at
the
first
being
so
transparent
and
cleare
,
that
we
may
see
thorow
it
,
The
first
coat
or
caule
of
the
Feature
,
is
named
,
Chorion
.
but
after
the
birth
,
it
is
contracted
and
drawne
together
into
a
little
heape
,
named
Chorion
,
or
Secundae
.
Besides
,
of
the
superfluous
humidity
,
and
moisture
of
this
,
there
are
ingendred
also
,
two
other
little
coats
,
or
caules
,
which
doe
protect
and
defend
the
Feature
from
superfluous
and
noisome
things
:
as
from
the
Termes
retained
,
and
stopped
after
conception
,
Two
little
coats
or
caules
ingendred
,
which
defend
the
Feature
from
hurt
.
and
also
from
other
superfluities
,
which
neither
serve
,
nor
are
profitable
to
the
nourishment
,
nor
increase
of
the
Feature
,
but
doe
rather
hurt
and
offend
,
yet
neverthelesse
they
are
retained
in
the
Matrix
,
betweene
the
caules
,
named
Secundae
,
even
untill
the
time
of
the
birth
,
then
they
issue
forth
,
a
breach
being
made
by
themselves
,
or
they
are
set
at
liberty
,
by
the
helpe
of
the
Midwife
.
Therefore
the
second
coat
or
caule
,
The
second
coat
or
caule
is
named
Biles
.
named
of
the
Arabians
,
Biles
,
of
the
Grecians
Allantoides
,
adjacent
and
lying
neere
to
the
connexed
and
united
parts
of
the
Feature
,
incloseth
and
infoldeth
all
inferiour
things
from
the
Navell
,
which
caule
is
wrinckled
and
somewhat
pleated
,
not
unlike
to
a
pleated
garment
,
into
which
the
urine
,
and
sweats
doe
distill
,
and
also
other
sharpe
,
and
eager
humors
,
if
any
doe
flow
,
and
issue
from
the
nature
and
ripe
Feature
,
and
are
detained
there
,
even
untill
the
time
of
birth
.
For
now
,
the
Infants
growne
to
greater
maturity
and
ripenesse
,
doe
not
void
and
expell
urine
,
by
the
urine-pipes
and
conduits
,
to
the
privie
parts
out
of
this
vault
,
but
by
certaine
passages
thorow
the
Navell
.
Therefore
the
Feature
is
fortified
and
defended
from
the
urine
,
and
other
noysome
humours
,
by
that
coat
or
infolder
,
lest
he
should
be
molested
,
and
grieved
with
the
acrimony
and
sharpnesse
of
them
,
or
else
gather
some
impurity

or
uncleanesse
unto
him

CHAP.
IIII.
Of
the
three
faculties
,
disposing
and
governing
the
body
,
and
of
the
spirit
it selfe
.
NOw
the
Seedes
,
both
of
man
and
woman
,
being
mingled
,
blended
,
and
inclosed
together
,
eft-soones
the
force
or
faculty
,
the
power
and
might
,
I
say
,
of
the
soule
,
essentially
attributed
to
it
,
to
performe
and
accomplish
her
actions
in
the
body
,
doth
appeare
and
shew
forth
it selfe
,
and
beginneth
to
worke
conveniently
almost
in
a
three-fold
manner
.
The
first
faculty
is
naturall
.
The
first
faculty
and
vertue
is
naturall
,
being
the
mover
and
foundation
of
the
other
faculties
,
common
both
to
living
Creatures
,
and
to
Plants
.
This
,
by
and
by
,
from
the
time
of
Generation
,
doth
worke
,
even
untill
the
perfection
of
that
which
is
ingendred
,
namely
,
by
augmenting
and
nourishing
.
And
it
hath
his
place
and
seat
in
the
Liver
,
and
from
thence
is
dispersed
and
sent
abroad
by
veines
into
the
whole
body
:
But
the
operation
of
it
at
first
appearance
is
found
to
be
three-fold
.
Thy
altering
,
or
changing
faculty
(
the
which
some
doe
call
the
immutative
faculty
)
which
first
generally
immuteth
,
and
altereth
the
substance
of
the
Seede
,
and
also
converteth
and
digesteth
it
,
1.
The
altering
or
changing
faculty
.
from
that
which
it
was
before
,
into
the
substance
of
the
severall
parts
,
that
every
one
of
them
may
be
distinctly
composed
and
made
:
and
particularly
inclining
againe
into
that
substance
,
by
those
mixed
qualities
,
and
elementary
faculties
,
by
heat
and
moisture
effecteth
and
frameth
the
softer
substance
,
such
as
flesh
is
in
living
Creatures
,
but
in
Plants
,
or
Herbes
,
the
flowers
and
the
pith
:
by
heate
and
drinesse
it
frameth
the
heart
is
living
Creatures
;
in
Plants
,
or
Herbes
,
is
maketh
the
roots
:
by
cold
and
moisture
,
in
living
Creatures
,
it
maketh
and
workes
the
haires
;
in
Plants
,
or
Herbs
,
the
leaves
:
also
by
cold
and
drinesse
,
in
living
Creatures
,
it
worketh
and
maketh
sinewes
and
bones
;
and
in
Plants
,
or
Herbs
,
the
rinds
,
barkes
,
and
wood
.
Afterward
,
the
forming
or
fashioning
faculty
,
2.
The
forming
or
fashioning
faculty
.
or
vertue
(
which
others
call
the
Informative
faculty
)
is
that
which
formeth
and
fashioneth
the
matter
which
is
changed
,
to
the
similitude
and
likenesse
of
that
from
whence
it
drew
his
originall
and
beginning
,
the
parts
like
unto
their
first
originall
,
being
severally
disposed
and
ordered
.
By
this
vertue
and
faculty
,
the
parts
,
which
ought
and
should
be
hollow
,
as
the
guts
,
veines
,
arteries
,
and
such
like
,
are
made
hollow
,
and
those
parts
which
ought
to
be
massie
and
solid
,
are
in
like
manner
formed
so
.
And
in
few
words
,
it
formeth
all
things
,
yea
,
the
smallest
of
them
particularly
,
and
perfecteth
the
superfice
,
or
uttermost
face
of
every
little
particle
,
or
diminitive
portion
,
so
that
nothing
remaineth
idle
,
nothing
also
superfluous
.
The
helping
,
or
minstring
faculties
.
But
to
these
principall
faculties
,
belonging
to
naturall
force
,
in
perfecting
the
living
Creature
,
other
helping
,
or
rather
ministring
,
faculties
are
added
beside
.
The
begetting
,
I
say
,
or
generative
faculty
,
dilating
and
extending
the
thing
ingendred
,
into
length
,
breadth
,
and
profundity
.
The
augmenting
vertue
also
,
which
doth
augment
and
increase
the
same
by
nutrition
and
nourishment
,
and
doth
compleate
,
and
accomplish
it
,
even
to
his
just
augmentation
and
increase
.
So
also
there
commeth
to
them
,
the
nutritive
and
nursing
faculty
,
which
ministreth
to
the
Feature
,
and
cherrisheth
the
Feature
in
the
wombe
,
from
the
time
that
the
seede
is
conceived
,
that
it
may
suffice
for
the
composing
and
ordaining
of
so
many
,
To
the
nutritive
faculty
,
foure
other
aiding
and
helping
faculties
.
and
so
great
parts
of
the
living
Creature
.
And
to
this
last
faculty
and
vertue
,
foure
other
aiding
and
helping
faculties
,
are
said
to
approach
.
The
attractive
,
which
some
call
the
appetitive
faculty
,
which
attracteth
convenient
nutriment
and
food
to
the
severall
parts
,
by
his
force
,
as
with
an
instrument
;
as
for
the
nourishment
of
flesh
,
it
attracteth
the
substance
of
blood
,
and
for
the
aliment
and
nourishing
of
the
braine
,
the
substance
of
Phlegme
,
and
so
likewise
in
the
other
parts
,
working
by
his
hot
and
dry
faculty
.
The
concocting
or
altering
vertue
,
working
by
a
hot
and
dry
faculty
and
power
,
changeth
and
transmuteth
the
substance
of
the
nutriment
,
and
reduceth
the
nourishments
of
a
diverse
nature
,
as
it
were
,
into
one
masse
or
lumpe
.
The
reteining
or
retentive
faculty
,
which
reteineth
and
helpeth
the
pure
nutriment
(
whereby
that
being
digested
is
assimilated
,
made
like
,
and
is
united
to
the
particular
members
)
using
the
helpe
of
coldnesse
and
drinesse
.
The
expelling
or
expulsive
facultie
,
which
by
the
helpe
of
moisture
and
coldnesse
,
doth
necessarily
expell
and
void
superfluous
things
,
neither
agreeable
or
convenient
to
the
quantity
,
nor
quality
of
the
parts
,
and
therefore
by
no
meanes
to
be
assimilated
and
united
to
the
parts
.
The
second
principall
faculty
is
named
Vital
.
The
second
faculty
and
vertue
which
worketh
principally
in
humane
seed
,
is
called
Vitall
,
and
possesseth
his
seat
and
mansion
in
the
heart
.
And
that
quickneth
and
giveth
life
to
the
heart
,
from
whom
the
vitall
Spirit
by
the
Arteries
annexed
to
it
,
doth
proceed
to
the
members
,
to
be
quickned
and
revived
by
the
disposition
of
a
naturall
faculty
and
vertue
,
by
dilating
and
contracting
the
Heart
and
Arteries
.
By
dilating
and
enlarging
,
I
say
,
because
the
moving
force
and
power
which
remaineth
in
the
heart
,
doth
dilate
and
spread
abroad
the
motion
of
the
heart
it selfe
,
from
the
middle
and
Center
of
it
,
into
all
the
extreme
and
outward
parts
.
But
by
contracting
and
knitting
together
,
because
the
same
force
and
faculty
collecteth
and
contracteth
againe
the
motion
of
the
heart
from
the
extreme
and
outward
parts
,
to
the
middle
and
Center
of
it
.
Wee
see
both
of
them
to
be
done
and
performed
by
the
benefit
of
the
lungs
,
which
,
like
a
paire
of
bellowes
attracteth
and
draweth
aire
to
the
heart
by
an
Artery
:
The
lungs
like
a
paire
of
Bellowes
attracts
aire
to
the
heart
.
that
is
conveied
and
diffused
againe
from
the
same
by
the
Arteries
to
other
parts
of
the
body
.
The
same
moneth
the
brest
with
a
continuall
motion
,
the
nerves
and
sinewes
being
moved
first
of
all
.
Aire
most
necessary
for
the
mitigation
of
naturall
heat
about
the
Heart
.
Therefore
this
aire
is
most
necessary
,
both
for
the
mitigation
and
asswagement
of
naturall
heat
about
the
heart
which
is
attracted
from
the
cold
aire
,
to
temperate
and
moderate
immoderate
and
overmuch
heat
;
especially
,
seeing
it
is
manifest
,
The
heart
of
so
hot
a
constitution
,
that
unlesse
it
be
mitigated
by
aire
from
the
lungs
,
it
would
be
suffocated
and
perish
.
that
the
heart
is
of
so
strong
a
constitution
,
that
it
would
quickely
be
suffocated
and
strangled
by
it selfe
,
and
so
perish
,
unlesse
it
should
attract
to
it
a
cold
temperament
and
mitigation
every
foot
from
the
aire
by
the
lungs
,
of
whose
temperature
the
Animal
Spirit
is
ingendred
,
and
is
seated
in
the
braine
,
as
we
will
streight-way
declare
,
from
whence
all
the
nerves
&
sinewes
drawing
their
beginning
,
do
descend
down
by
the
ridge-bone
of
the
backe
,
named
in
latine
,
Spina
dorsi
,
and
from
thence
afterward
are
distributed
and
divided
into
the
body
,
and
are
also
cherrished
and
preserved
of
their
primary
Animal
Spirit
,
by
the
helpe
of
the
vitall
spirit
.
Notwithstanding
the
same
aire
attracted
by
breathing
,
The
aire
attracted
by
the
lungs
,
is
by
many
meanes
often
corrupted
.
by
the
labour
and
imployment
of
the
lungs
,
and
passing
into
his
vitall
spirit
,
by
many
meanes
is
also
corrupted
,
as
hath
beene
often
observed
,
I
say
,
by
the
evill
disposition
of
the
braine
,
by
the
infection
of
the
Liver
,
by
the
passion
of
the
heart
,
by
the
corruption
and
rottennesse
of
the
Lungs
,
and
such
like
infirmities
;
also
by
excessive
corruption
of
the
aire
outwardly
approching
unto
it
:
of
which
to
speake
much
,
for
the
present
time
,
would
both
be
besides
the
purpose
,
and
also
to
no
profit
.
The
third
faculty
is
named
Animal
,
and
is
three-fold
.
The
third
faculty
is
Animal
,
which
,
as
the
Queene
,
doth
possesse
the
highest
place
,
and
obtaineth
a
seat
in
the
braine
.
And
the
same
is
certainly
found
to
be
three-fold
:
For
,
the
first
vertue
of
the
same
,
1.
The
disposing
and
ordering
faculty
.
is
the
disposing
and
ordering
faculty
,
which
disposeth
and
ordereth
the
whole
braine
,
and
alone
doth
imploy
and
busie
it
in
his
order
.
In
what
parts
of
the
braine
Imagination
,
Reason
and
Memory
are
seated
.
For
in
the
former
part
of
it
,
it
placeth
and
seateth
Imagination
,
in
the
middle
part
,
it
scituateth
Reason
,
and
in
the
hinder
part
it
setteth
Memory
;
For
whatsoever
Fantasie
hath
conceived
in
the
former
little
cell
,
cave
,
or
ventricle
,
that
it
streight-way
transferreth
and
sendeth
to
the
Senate
and
Councel-chamber
of
Reason
,
there
,
as
it
were
,
to
be
examined
by
judgement
and
determined
:
and
whatsoever
is
here
collected
,
and
approved
by
judgement
,
that
it
sendeth
and
committeth
to
Memory
,
to
be
reserved
(
as
it
were
,
in
a
treasury
or
store-house
)
and
to
be
directed
,
concerning
his
acts
and
effects
.
2.
The
Sensitive
faculty
.
The
second
vertue
is
the
Sensitive
faculty
,
the
which
although
we
know
,
that
it
is
variable
and
diverse
,
in
respect
of
the
senses
,
yet
we
may
understand
,
that
it
is
caused
and
effected
in
this
manner
.
The
Animal
spirit
(
whose
place
of
late
we
said
to
be
in
the
braine
)
proceeding
from
the
interiour
and
inward
little
caves
and
ventricles
of
the
braine
,
The
Animal
Spirit
doth
forme
and
frame
the
senses
.
by
the
mediation
and
assistance
of
certaine
subtile
and
slender
sinewes
,
doth
forme
and
frame
the
Senses
,
and
by
his
vertue
through
the
ministry
and
furtherance
of
the
sinewes
,
directeth
and
transposeth
sight
to
the
eyes
,
smelling
to
the
nostrills
,
hearing
to
the
eares
,
and
tasting
to
the
palate
of
the
mouth
,
which
senses
wee
see
onely
to
be
numbred
and
nominated
of
the
senses
of
the
head
.
The
third
is
the
Moving
vertue
,
3.
The
Moving
faculty
.
ingendred
and
bred
in
the
braine
;
to
whom
it
is
said
to
be
proper
,
to
move
and
give
motion
:
For
as
the
Animal
spirit
disposeth
and
directeth
the
orders
and
properties
of
the
senses
,
The
Animal
spirit
directs
the
motions
.
as
is
before
declared
,
so
by
the
benefit
of
the
same
facultie
,
the
motions
also
are
directed
,
by
which
the
vertues
and
faculties
of
the
Spirit
are
dilated
,
opened
,
and
enlarged
,
and
are
likewise
conveyed
and
sent
abroad
to
the
other
members
.
But
for
the
perfection
,
and
complement
of
all
these
vertues
and
faculties
,
Spirit
is
necessarily
required
,
Spirit
necessary
for
the
perfection
of
the
former
faculties
.
by
whose
benefit
and
continuall
motion
,
as
well
the
senses
,
as
the
faculties
,
are
instigated
and
provoked
to
performe
and
finish
their
faculties
and
actions
.
And
they
say
,
that
the
Spirit
is
a
certaine
airy
substance
,
which
continually
exciteth
and
stirreth
up
the
powers
and
faculties
of
the
body
,
to
fulfill
and
accomplish
their
actions
.
And
indeed
,
this
Spirit
is
a
certaine
subtile
body
,
What
spirit
is
.
ingendred
by
the
force
of
heat
,
because
of
blood
flowing
and
streaming
in
the
Liver
,
attracted
and
drawne
by
breathing
and
the
Arteries
,
and
afterward
diffused
by
the
veines
to
all
the
members
,
quickning
the
bodies
,
serving
to
promote
and
further
motion
,
by
the
meanes
and
aide
of
the
nerves
and
Muscles
.
But
first
this
is
directed
and
conduced
to
the
Liver
in
this
manner
:
Heate
remaining
in
the
blood
,
How
naturall
spirit
is
ingendred
.
there
is
caused
a
certaine
boyling
in
the
Liver
,
from
whence
a
certaine
fume
or
vapour
issueth
and
proceedeth
forth
,
which
eft-soones
being
purified
,
by
the
veines
of
the
Liver
is
changed
and
transmuted
into
a
certaine
airie
substance
,
and
is
called
Naturall
Spirit
,
which
purifieth
and
clarifieth
the
blood
,
and
afterward
is
sent
and
distributed
to
the
particular
and
severall
members
.
Afterward
the
same
Spirit
is
transferred
and
carried
from
the
Liver
by
certaine
veines
to
the
Heart
,
How
vitall
spirit
is
ingendred
.
where
by
the
motion
of
the
parts
of
the
Heart
,
and
a
mutuall
coagitation
,
it
is
made
more
pure
,
and
is
converted
into
a
more
subtile
and
finer
Nature
,
and
beginneth
to
be
Vitall
and
truely
Spirit
:
because
is
diffuseth
and
spreadeth
it selfe
from
the
Heart
by
Arteries
,
to
the
members
of
the
whole
body
,
and
doth
augment
and
further
the
vertue
of
Naturall
Spirit
.
And
againe
,
How
Animal
spirit
is
ingendred
.
the
same
Spirit
mounting
and
penetrating
upward
,
from
the
Heart
through
Arteries
,
to
the
little
caves
and
ventricles
of
the
braine
,
is
there
more
exactly
laboured
and
refined
,
and
is
transmuted
and
altered
into
the
essence
and
substance
of
the
Animal
Spirit
,
Animal
Spirit
most
pure
.
which
is
most
pure
of
all
,
from
whence
streight-way
it
is
sent
and
conducted
againe
by
the
organs
and
instruments
of
the
senses
,
to
corroborate
and
strengthen
those
senses
in
some
measure
.
Although
therefore
it
be
the
selfe-same
one
Spirit
,
yet
because
of
his
divers
offices
and
functions
in
divers
parts
,
Why
the
Spirit
is
called
Naturall
,
Vital
,
Animal
.
it
is
diversly
taken
and
understood
;
as
in
the
Liver
it
is
named
Naturall
,
in
the
Heart
Vitall
,
and
in
the
braine
Animal
.
But
we
must
not
beleeve
that
this
Spirit
is
the
immortall
soule
infused
into
man
of
God
,
Whether
the
Spirit
be
the
Soule
.
but
it
is
onely
the
instrument
,
and
,
as
it
were
,
the
Charriot
of
the
same
.
The
Spirit
but
the
instrument
or
Charriot
of
the
Soule
.
For
by
the
meanes
alone
of
this
Spirit
,
the
soule
is
conjoyned
and
united
to
the
body
:
neither
yet
also
is
there
any
perfect
exercise
of
the
soule
,
without
the
ministry
and
service
of
this
spirit
,
which
thing
might
easily
be
proved
,
but
that
already
,
this
discourse
,
concerning
the
faculties
and
Spirit
,
hath
beene

Of

A

attracteth
the
grosser

confused

fit
and
convenient
for
nourishment
,
whereby
a
two-forked
veine
is
ingendred
according
to
the
forme
of
this
Figure
.
And
these
veines
doe
attract
,
sucke
,
and
draw
unto
them
the
hottest
,
the
most
subtile
and
purest
blood
,
of
which
the
heart
is
ingendred
in
the
membrane
or
skinne
of
the
heart
,
involving
and
lapping
the
same
round
about
,
named
in
Latin
Pericardium
,
and
the

What
the
Heart
is
.
and
of
a
grosse
substance
,
by

as
is
necessary
for
such

But
the
notable

spreading

deriveth
and
carrieth
blood
thither
,
for
the
nourishment
of
the

.
The
unmoveable
and
still
veine
.
Also
from
the
same
branch
of
that
veine
in
the
same
part
of
the
heart
;
a
certaine
other
veine
doth
spring
up
,
named
of
some
the
unmoving
or
still
veine
,
in
Latine
,
Vena
immota
,
vel
tranquilia
,
so
named
,
because
it
doth
not
beat
and
move
,
as
other
pulsive
moving
veines
of
the
heart
doe
,
named
in
Latine
,
Venae
pulsatiles
,
but
lieth
hidden
,
being
calme
and
still
,
ordained
and
destinated
to
this
office
,
namely
,
The
office
of
the
unmoveable
and
still
veine
.
that
it
should
conduct
and
convey
blood
digested
in
the
Heart
,
unto
the
Lungs
and
Lights
,
which
veine
is
environed
and
lapped
about
(
for
which
cause
it
is
named
Vena
arteriosa
,
an
arteried
veine
)
with
two
coats
,
like
unto
the
Arteries
.
But
in
the
concavity
&
hollow
of
the
left
part
in
the
heart
,
a
most
great
and
notable
pulsive
or
beating
veine
,
Aorta
.
called
Aorta
,
doth
spring
up
,
diffusing
and
sending
abroad
vitall
and
lively
spirit
by
the
blood
of
the
heart
,
into
all
the
pulsive
and
moving
veines
of
the
body
.
For
as
Vena
cava
is
the
originall
,
fountain
and
spring
of
all
the
veines
by
which
the
body
attracteth
and
draweth
to
it
the
whole
nutriment
of
blood
:
Even
so
,
from
this
great
veine
,
Aorta
,
are
derived
all
the
pulsive
,
moving
,
and
beating-veines
,
on
every
side
dispersing
&
pouring
forth
vital
spirit
thorowout
the
whole
body
.
The
heart
the
fountaine
of
lively
heat
.
For
the
heart
is
the
source
and
fountaine
of
vitall
and
lively
heat
,
without
which
no
living
creature
,
no
member
can
be
cherrished
.
Vnder
the
great
veine
Aorta
,
even
now
spoken
of
,
The
Veyned
Arterie
.
in
the
left
cavity
and
vault
of
the
heart
,
another
veine
as
yet
springeth
forth
,
called
in
Latine
Arteria
venosa
,
the
veined
Artery
.
Although
that
truely
be
a
pulsive
and
moving
veine
,
and
convey
vitall
spirit
,
yet
it
hath
only
one
coat
,
as
those
veines
have
which
convey
blood
;
and
that
is
framed
and
ordained
,
that
it
may
drive
and
transport
cold
aire
from
the
Lungs
to
the
Heart
to
refrigerate
,
coole
,
and
refresh
it
,
and
to
temper
and
allay
,
the
immoderate
heat
.
But
because
veines
doe
breake
forth
from
both
the
concavities
and
hollow
cells
of
the
Heart
,
The
generation
of
the
lungs
.
and
are
implanted
and
inserted
to
the
Lungs
,
the
Lungs
also
formed
and
framed
by
them
.
For
a
veine
proceeding
from
the
right
cavity
and
hollow
of
the
heart
,
proceedeth
and
bringeth
forth
most
subtile
and
pure
blood
,
which
,
the
Fibraes
,
threds
or
haires
,
being
from
thence
afterward
dispersed
,
is
altered
,
changed
and
transmuted
into
the
flesh
of
the
Lungs
.
And
from
the
great
veines
of
the
Heart
and
Liver
,
that
is
to
say
,
Vena
cava
and
Aorta
,
The
brest
,
legs
,
and
armes
ingendred
.
the
whole
brest
is
ingendred
,
and
also
the
legges
with
the
armes
successively
and
in
their
due
order
.
And
the
braine
is
so
formed
,
that
it
may
be
able
to
conceive
,
retaine
,
and
alter
the
natures
,
and
qualities
of
all
the
vitall
,
and
lively
spirits
;
From
the
braine
also
the
beginnings
both
of
Reason
,
The
Originall
of
Reason
and
the
Senses
.
and
all
the
senses
doe
proceed
,
and
have
their
originall
:
For
as
the
veines
derive
their
progeny
from
the
Liver
,
and
the
Arteries
from
the
Heart
:
The
Originall
of
the
Nerves
and
Sinewes
.
So
also
the
Nerves
and
Sinewes
being
of
a
softer
and
milder
nature
,
doe
spring
and
grow
from
the
braine
,
not
being
hollow
,
after
the
manner
of
veines
,
but
solid
and
massie
.
For
indeede
they
are
the
first
and
principall
instruments
of
all
the
senses
,
by
which
all
the
motions
of
the
senses
are
duely
caused
and
procured
through
vitall
and
lively
spirit
.
After
the
Nerves
and
Sinewes
,
the
Marrow
of
the
backe-bone
,
The
Marrow
of
the
backe-bone
.
(
in
Latine
Spina
dorsi
)
is
ingendred
from
the
braine
,
not
unlike
to
the
nature
of
the
braine
,
so
that
it
may
scant
be
called
and
termed
Marrow
,
Not
unlike
to
the
nature
of
the
braine
.
both
because
it
hath
no
similitude
,
nor
likenesse
unto
Marrow
,
and
also
because
it
doth
not
resemble
the
same
in
substance
.
What
Marrow
is
.
For
Marrow
is
a
certaine
superfluity
of
the
nutriment
of
the
members
proceeding
from
blood
ordained
and
destinated
to
moisten
and
cherrish
the
bones
of
the
body
:
but
the
braine
and
Marrow
of
the
backe-bone
,
or
Spina
dorsi
,
The
Marrow
of
the
backe-bone
derived
from
the
seed
.
doe
draw
and
derive
their
originall
and
primacie
from
the
seede
,
not
deputed
or
allotted
to
nourish
other
members
,
and
to
make
them
prosper
in
good
plight
,
but
that
they
should
by
themselves
ordaine
and
constitute
private
and
particular
parts
of
the
body
,
for
the
motion
,
emolument
and
use
of
the
senses
,
that
from
thence
all
other
nerves
and
sinewes
may
take
their
roots
and
beginnings
.
Many
nerves
do
spring
from
the
Marrow
of
the
back
bone
.
For
many
nerves
doe
spring
from
the
Marrow
of
the
back-bone
,
or
Spina

from
which

may
have

by

Vital

Animal
faculty

good

as
hath
beene
declared
in

the
coats

and
also
both
the
other
pannicles
or
caules
,
and

and

of

But
of
the
proper
and
convenient
blood
of
the
Feature
,
Of
the
blood
of
the
Feature
the
flesh
is
ingendred
:
also
the
Heart

.
the

is
ingendred
,
and
those
things
which
are
fleshie
,
as
the
Heart
,
Liver
,
and
Lungs
.
And
afterwards
all
these
things
doe
flourish

prosper
,
and
are
nourished
with
menstruall
blood
,
a
tracted

which

are
observed
to
attaine

from

of
the
veines
.
All
which
things
are
distinctly

to

from
the
conception
even
unto
the
eighteenth
day
of
the

at

it
is
called

afterward
it
beginneth
both
to
be

to
be

CHAP.
VI.
Of
the
food
of
the
Feature
in
the
wombe
,
with
what
nourishments
it
is
nourished
,
and
when
it
groweth
to
be
an
Infant
.
SO
long
as
the
Feature
remaineth
in
the
wombe
,
it
is
nourished
and
cherrished
with
blood
,
attracted
and
drawne
to
it
by
the
Navell
:
The
Feature
in
the
wombe
nourished
〈◊〉
with
blood
attracted
to
it
by
the
Navell
.
whereby
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
the
Termes
of
women
are
stayed
,
and
cease
to
issue
forth
,
after
the
conception
:
For
then
the
Feature
beginneth
to
covet
,
and
to
attract
unto
it
much
blood
.
Three
differences
of
menstruous
blood
after
conception
.
But
the
blood
is
discerned
to
have
a
three-fold
difference
after
the
time
of
conception
.
The
first
and
most
pure
part
of
it
the
Feature
attracteth
for
his
nourishment
.
The
second
and
not
so
pure
and
thin
,
the
Matrix
forceth
,
and
driveth
upward
to
the
brests
by
certaine
veines
,
The
breeding
of
milke
.
where
it
is
converted
and
changed
into
milke
,
and
for
that
cause
it
is
,
that
certaine
passages
doe
bend
and
incline
upward
from
the
Matrix
to
the
brests
,
as
in
the
booke
following
shall
appeare
in
the
Anatomicall
demonstration
.
The
third
,
the
most
grosse
and
impure
part
of
blood
remaineth
in
the
Matrix
,
and
issueth
and
floweth
forth
with
the
Secundine
,
in
the
birth
and
after
the
birth
.
Thereby
it
is
,
Great
affinity
between
milke
and
the
terms
.
that
Hippocrates
saith
,
that
there
is
great
affinity
betweene
the
milke
and
the
Termes
,
when
as
it
happeneth
that
the
milke
is
bred
and
made
of
them
.
Galen
also
,
because
of
this
matter
,
doth
elegantly
and
excellently
advertise
us
,
that
the
Infant
taketh
and
hath
more
from
the
mother
,
The
Infant
receiveth
more
from
the
mother
than
from
the
father
.
than
from
the
father
;
because
first
that
the
seedes
are
augmented
and
increased
by
the
Termes
,
next
because
the
Feature
is
nourished
by
them
in
the
wombe
by
and
by
;
thirdly
,
because
being
borne
,
hee
is
nourished
with
her
milke
:
and
even
as
any
sprigs
or
slips
have
more
from
the
earth
than
from
the
Plant
,
being
,
as
it
were
,
the
Father
,
So
Infants
have
more
from
their
Mother
.
Hereby
,
he
saith
,
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
so
much
the
more
is
retributed
and
yeelded
backe
againe
to
the
Mother
,
by
how
much
the
more
they
have
given
.
The
Infant
being
perfected
in
the
wombe
the
first
month
sendeth
forth
urine
by
the
passages
of
the
Navell
,
but
the
last
moneth
by
the
privie
members
.
But
now
the
Infant
being
formed
and
perfected
in
the
wombe
,
the
first
Moneth
it
voideth
and
sendeth
forth
urine
by
the
passages
of
the
Navell
:
but
the
last
Moneth
,
that
passage
and
conveyance
being
stopt
and
shut
up
,
hee
voydeth
it
by
the
privie
members
,
as
hath
bin
before
declared
in
the
third
Chapter
,
Nothing
expelled
by
the
fundament
so
long
as
the
Infant
is
in
the
wombe
.
concerning
the
three
coats
or
caules
.
But
by
the
Fundament
so
long
as
hee
is
in
the
wombe
,
he
voydeth
and
expelleth
nothing
at
all
,
because
he
hath
as
yet
attracted
no
nutriment
by
the
mouth
.
The
time
of
the
life
of
the
Infant
.
After
the
forty
and
fift
day
,
by
the
advertisement
of
Hippocrates
,
he
taketh
life
,
and
with
it
the
Soule
infused
into
him
from
Heaven
,
by
the
judgement
of
many
,
so
that
then
he
beginneth
to
have
sense
and
feeling
.
But
at
this
time
,
although
he
be
able
to
have
sense
and
feeling
,
yet
hee
wanteth
motion
,
to
wit
,
being
as
yet
very
tender
and
feeble
;
The
time
of
moving
.
but
concerning
the
time
of
his
moving
,
Hippocrates
doth
excellently
instruct
us
in
this
wise
.
A
rule
to
know
the
time
of
motion
,
and
the
time
of
the
birth
.
If
you
double
the
number
of
the
daies
from
the
conception
,
you
shall
finde
out
the
time
of
motion
;
and
the
number
of
the
time
being
tripled
&
accompted
thrice
,
will
declare
the
day
of
the
birth
:
For
example
sake
.
An
Example
.
It
the
Infant
should
be
formed
in
forty
five
daies
,
hee
will
move
and
stirre
himselfe
the
nintieth
day
after
,
which
is
the
middle
day
of
the
Infant
lying
in
the
womb
;
but
in
the
ninth
Moneth
hee
will
proceede
,
hasten
,
and
come
forth
to
the
birth
,
although
maiden-children
,
for
the
most
part
,
are
borne
the
tenth
Moneth
.
And
let
these
things
suffice
concerning
the
forming
,
growing
,
increase
,
and
perfection
of
the
Infant
,
in
respect
of
the
daies
and
times
.

CAHP.
I.
Of
the
false
Conception
named
Mola
,
and
other
falsely
supposed
Conceptions
.
SO
many
as
have
at
any
time
written
of
the
false
conception
Mola
,
have
called
it
a
deceivable
conception
,
What
the
false
conception
Mola
is
.
which
if
at
time
it
commeth
to
the
birth
,
commeth
forth
in
the
likenesse
and
similitude
of
a
piece
or
lump
of
mishapen
flesh
.
The
Name
.
Some
will
have
the
name
of
it
to
be
derived
of
Molon
,
which
among
the
Greekes
doth
signifie
a
round
thing
,
because
the
forme
and
shape
of
it
is
round
,
or
else
to
be
so
named
of
the
Persian
word
Moli
,
which
to
them
signifieth
a
certaine
mishapen
thing
or
a
disordered
lump
.
Or
rather
,
as
the
more
learned
doe
write
,
beause
it
is
a
certaine
hardned
swelling
or
tumour
,
which
in
the
sense
of
touching
seemeth
to
be
stony
,
like
unto
a
Mill-stone
,
named
in
Latine
Mola
,
either
in
the
whole
wombe
,
or
in
the
entrance
or
wicket
of
it
only
:
Whereby
a
heavinesse
and
difficulty
of
moving
happeneth
to
women
possessed
with
this
evill
,
as
it
were
,
pressed
downe
with
a
heavie
weight
:
How
the
false
conception
Mola
is
ingendred
.
For
the
Grecians
doe
name
it
Mylon
,
which
in
Latine
,
is
called
Mola
.
Averrois
and
Paulus
Aegineta
doe
declare
that
this
deformed
lump
of
flesh
is
ingendred
of
the
weaknesse
and
debility
of
both
the
seedes
,
that
is
to
say
,
of
the
mans
and
womans
,
or
else
of
the
corruption
of
good
seedes
,
which
happeneth
about
the
first
time
of
conception
.
But
others
doe
say
,
that
it
is
ingendred
of
the
abundance
of
the
flowers
or
Terms
,
because
through
great
heat
of
the
Matrix
they
are
sometimes
congealed
and
clotted
together
,
and
brought
into
a
mishapen
masse
or
lump
of
flesh
;
but
they
which
doe
more
narrowly
pay
and
search
into
the
Natures
of
things
,
doe
attribute
this
to
the
more
copious
and
abundant
seed
of
the
woman
,
The
abundant
seed
of
women
causeth
the
conception
Mola
.
especially
in
those
women
which
are
somewhat
more
lascivious
than
others
are
,
which
conceiving
little
seed
from
their
husbands
,
dry
by
nature
,
by
the
desire
of
the
Matrix
,
doe
stirre
up
copious
seed
of
their
owne
,
which
augmented
with
the
flowers
,
by
heat
of
the
Matrix
,
is
congealed
together
,
and
by
the
defect
and
want
of
mans
seed
,
Mans
seed
the
proper
worke-man
.
the
proper
worke-man
and
contriver
of
it
,
doth
grow
together
into
such
a
lump
:
For
nothing
can
be
ingendred
without
the
seed
of
man
;
as
neither
any
can
be
ingendred
of
the
seed
of
women
onely
:
For
the
seede
of
the
woman
doth
only
inclose
the
seede
of
man
conceived
in
the
wombe
,
whereby
the
coats
or
caules
,
which
afterwards
doe
passe
into
the
Secundines
,
may
onely
be
ingendred
of
it
:
For
,
as
it
is
in
an
Egge
,
A
Simily
.
even
so
is
the
matter
discerned
to
stand
in
this
case
;
for
as
of
the
white
and
yolke
of
it selfe
,
nothing
can
be
ingendred
,
unlesse
the
seede
of
the
Cocke
be
infused
into
it
,
although
the
copiousnesse
of
them
is
much
greater
in
comparison
of
the
seed
:
so
also
of
womans
seed
alone
,
nothing
can
be
ingendred
,
unlesse
mans
seed
be
added
to
it
;
so
that
if
this
be
little
,
and
the
seed
of
the
woman
copious
&
abundant
,
then
they
being
augmented
and
increased
with
the
Termes
,
are
wont
to
breed
&
ingender
the
false
conception
Mola
,
of
which
some
women
are
disburdened
of
,
the
fift
,
sixt
,
or
at
last
the
seventh
yeere
,
and
some
never
.
Besides
,
there
are
also
many
other
false
and
corrupt
conceptions
,
False
and
corrupt
conceptions
.
of
which
not
onely
the
false
conceptions
,
named
Molae
,
but
also
some
other
deformed
shapes
,
defective
and
unperfect
in
some
part
,
through
defect
of
both
seeds
,
are
in
like
manner
wont
to
be
ingendred
.
It
commeth
also
to
passe
,
that
by
the
corruption
,
that
some
hurtfull
living
creatures
,
or
shapes
of
living
creatures
are
ingendred
in
the
Matrix
with
children
,
The
reason
why
some
women
swell
as
if
they
were
with
child
,
yet
never
delivered
of
any
.
I
speake
not
of
strange
shapes
conceived
of
beasts
,
as
it
hath
often
fallen
out
.
Oftentimes
also
wee
perceive
some
women
to
swell
,
as
if
they
were
conceived
with
child
,
and
yet
never
to
be
delivered
of
any
child
:
because
that
both
seedes
conceived
together
,
were
so
liquid
and
thin
,
that
by
the
defect
of
the
heat
of
the
Matrix
they
cannot
be
congealed
and
united
together
:
whereby
it
falleth
out
,
that
of
such
diverse
humours
inclosed
the
Hydropsie
doth
afterward
ensue
.
But
the
generation
and
breeding
of
the
false
conception
Mola
,
Signes
of
the
conception
Mola
.
hath
certaine
signes
and
tokens
above
all
other
tumours
,
whereby
it
may
be
knowne
.
And
first
,
truely
,
concerning
the
constitution
and
state
of
the
body
,
the
limbs
of
her
which
beareth
the
false
conception
Mola
,
are
feeble
and
soft
,
there
is
a
certaine
numnesse
in
them
,
her
lips
and
eyes
are
swolne
,
the
face
is
pale
,
her
belly
being
swolne
,
appeareth
to
be
hard
when
it
is
touched
,
she
hath
prickings
and
many
wringings
in
her
belly
;
her
Termes
are
stopped
,
dimnesse
of
the
eyes
doth
molest
and
vexe
her
,
the
beating
of
her
heart
is
continuall
,
her
limbes
tremble
,
she
cannot
away
with
meat
,
she
vomiteth
often
and
much
,
shee
hath
many
spots
in
her
face
,
the
apples
of
her
eyes
standing
outward
,
her
looke
sterne
and
frowning
.
But
because
many
of
these
signes
are
also
common
to
a
true
conception
,
The
false
conception
Mola
,
and
the
true
conception
,
differ
many
waies
.
a
certaine
difference
is
here
to
be
determined
.
Therefore
wee
must
understand
,
that
the
false
conception
Mola
doth
differ
so
many
waies
from
a
true
conception
,
as
hereafter
followeth
.
First
,
when
the
Termes
shall
appeare
,
the
false
conception
Mola
cannot
be
ingendred
,
because
it
is
onely
ingendred
of
the
Termes
being
retained
,
and
the
weake
and
feeble
seed
of
man
.
When
a
great
moving
shall
happen
in
the
womb
,
before
the
third
moneth
after
the
conception
,
it
is
a
signe
of
the
false
conception
Mola
:
For
there
cannot
be
such
speedy
motion
in
a
true
conception
.
In
the
false
conception
Mola
,
the
wombe
swelleth
sooner
and
more
.
Also
the
moving
of
a
childe
is
not
all
one
with
the
moving
of
the
false
conception
Mola
.
For
the
childe
is
moved
from
side
to
side
,
but
the
conception
Mola
is
not
so
.
The
false
conception
Mola
pressed
together
with
the
hand
streight-way
departeth
from
his
place
,
but
by
and
by
returneth
into
the
same
place
,
being
removed
with
the
hand
.
But
as
a
child
doth
not
remove
out
of
his
place
,
so
doth
he
not
returne
backe
againe
.
In
the
conception
of
Mola
,
their
belly
remaineth
harder
which
are
conceived
with
it
,
than
it
is
unto
them
which
beare
a
childe
.
The
woman
is
more
slow
and
heavie
in
her
going
and
moving
,
which
is
conceived
with
the
false
conception
Mola
,
than
they
are
which
have
conceived
a
child
.
The
brests
doe
not
swell
so
much
,
nor
are
so
hard
in
the
conception
of
Mola
,
as
in
the
conception
of
a
child
.
In
the
generation
of
the
false
conception
Mola
,
the
limbs
and
parts
doe
waxe
feeble
and
soft
,
which
thing
doth
not
happen
in
the
conception
of
a
childe
.
The
birth
of
a
child
cannot
be
deferred
beyond
the
tenth
moneth
at
the
farthest
;
but
the
birth
of
the
false
conception
Mola
is
sometimes
deferred
unto
the
fifth
or
sixth
yeere
,
sometimes
also
untill
the
end
of
the
life
.
Such
a
certaine
and
manifest
difference
,
The
difference
of
the
false
conception
Mola
from
other
tumours
of
the
womb
.
set
downe
and
determined
,
betweene
the
false
conception
Mola
,
and
a
true
conception
:
in
like
manner
also
the
same
is
to
be
discerned
and
knowne
from
other
false
tumours
&
swellings
of
the
wombe
:
For
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
many
women
also
begin
to
swell
,
either
because
of
aire
inclosed
in
the
wombe
whereby
a
Tympany
is
ingendred
:
Tympany
ingendred
.
or
through
abundance
of
divers
humours
stopped
and
retained
,
whereby
the
Hydropsie
is
caused
.
Hydropsie
ingendred
.
But
those
women
which
doe
swell
by
reason
of
aire
inclosed
in
the
wombe
,
doe
exceede
with
the
tumour
and
hardnesse
of
the
wombe
,
those
women
which
doe
swell
and
waxe
big
by
the
humours
being
stopped
and
retained
.
The
Tympany
removed
from
place
to
place
.
Also
the
tympany
sometime
falleth
down
,
departeth
away
,
and
is
removed
from
place
to
place
,
The
Hydropsie
seldome
removed
.
neither
is
felt
without
paine
;
but
the
Hydropsie
,
that
is
to
say
,
retained
humors
,
is
seldome
removed
,
and
those
humors
doe
make
a
noyse
with
a
continuall
sounding
of
the
belly
.
And
there
is
a
difference
also
betweene
those
tumours
,
The
conception
Mola
makes
the
belly
harder
than
the
other
tumors
doe
.
In
the
Hydropsie
the
legs
swell
,
in
the
Mola
they
waxe
lesse
.
In
the
Tympany
the
belly
sounds
like
a
drum
,
in
the
Mola
not
so
.
and
the
false
conception
Mola
.
For
in
the
bearing
of
Mola
the
belly
remaineth
much
harder
,
than
in
those
swellings
and
tumors
.
In
the
Hydropsie
,
the
legs
do
swel
,
but
in
the
false
conception
Mola
,
they
waxe
lesse
and
feeble
.
In
the
disease
named
a
Tympany
the
belly
is
hard
,
sounding
like
a
tabor
or
drum
:
but
in
the
conception
Mola
it
is
not
so
.
And
by
this
meanes
the
differences
of
these
like
tumors
may
be
observed
,
noted
and
understood
,
how
hardly
they
may
be
cured
.
CHAP.
II.
Of
the
cure
of
the
false
conception
Mola
,
and
other
false
tumours
and
swellings
of
the
wombe
.
IN
the
cure
of
the
false
conception
Mola
,
The
dyet
inclining
to
heat
and
moisture
.
such
a
Diet
before
all
things
is
to
bee
appointed
as
may
incline
to
heate
and
moisture
.
Also
where
there
shal
be
need
of
blood
letting
,
let
the
veine
of
the
anckle
be
opened
,
named
Saphena
,
The
veyne
of
the
ancle
to
be
opened
.
thereby
the
matter
shall
be
purged
and
voyded
in
that
manner
,
as
you
shall
see
delivered
in
the
Retention
and
stopping
of
the
Termes
,
in
the
sequel
of
the
discourse
hereafter
following
.
These
things
going
before
,
those
things
which
purge
and
cure
inwardly
,
A
Bathe
.
also
outward
remedies
may
be
used
.
First
of
al
we
must
use
a
Bath
,
in
which
she
,
which
is
conceived
with
the
false
conception
Mola
,
must
sit
every
day
morning
and
evening
,
her
stomach
being
empty
,
the
water
reaching
up
so
high
as
her
navell
.
And
the
bathe
shall
be
prepared
in
this
manner
.
Take
of
Marish
Mallowes
with
the
roots
sixe
handfuls
,
of
other
Mallowes
,
Branca
Vrsina
,
or
beares
foot
(
or
if
it
bee
not
to
bee
had
)
Violet
leaves
,
Pellitory
of
the
wall
,
Camomile
,
Melilot
,
of
of
each
two
handfuls
,
Fenegreke
,
Lin-seed
,
of
each
two
pound
.
Those
things
being
beaten
to
powder
,
which
are
to
be
powdred
,
let
them
be
put
in
a
bag
,
and
let
them
boyle
in
the
water
,
in
which
the
sicke
woman
shall
sit
.
Also
it
will
be
very
profitable
to
lay
that
bagge
very
hot
upon
the
secret
parts

CHAP.
III.
Of
unperfect
children
,
also
of
monsterous
Births
.
WEE
see
that
it
commeth
to
passe
in
divers
manners
,
by
experience
of
matters
,
&
testimony
of
the
times
:
that
many
monsters
and
imperfect
or
mishapen
children
are
borne
.
But
when
as
that
thing
is
specially
to
bee
attributed
and
ascribed
to
the
Iudgements
of
God
,
yet
afterward
also
the
corruption
and
fault
of
the
seed
is
to
bee
acknowledged
,
to
wit
,
which
was
either
too
much
,
or
too
little
,
or
corrupted
,
from
whence
those
monsters
are
ingendred
.
But
we
will
hereafter
give
you
some
Figures
of
those
shapes
,
not
to
the
intent
to
handle
all
things
to
the
full
perfection
,
but
that
by
a
few
of
them
wee
may
propound
some
knowledge
of
the
Iudgements
of
God
by
divers
monsters
against
Nature
,
as
it
were
prognosticating
things
to
come
,
and
that
we
may
see
how
much
the
fault
and
corruption
of
seed
avayleth
in
this
case
.
In
the
yeare
1552
in
England
not
far
from
Oxford
a
certaine
deformed
birth
was
borne
;
with
two
heads
,
foure
armes
,
with
so
many
hands
,
with
one
belly
having
the
secret
parts
of
a
woman
,
and
one
fundament
.
On
the
one
side
,
there
were
two
feete
over-thwart
:
on
the
other
,
one
onely
stretched
out
right
of
forme
of
two
feet
,
having
tenne
toes
.
One
of
them
lived
fifteene
daies
,
and
the
other
lived
one
day
more
.
They
wept
seldome
in
this
time
.
One
of
them
was
very
merry
,
but
the
other
drowsie
and
sad
;
the
length
and
breadth
of
them
was
the
bredth
of
twenty
fingers
.
But
if
it
be
demanded
of
the
cause
of
such
conceptions
and
birthes
,
The
causes
of
Monsters
.
we
must
know
before
all
things
that
they
come
not
to
passe
without
the
providence
of
the
Almighty
and
Omipotent
God
;
but
also
that
they
are
permitted
oftentimes
by
his
just
judgement
for
to
punish
and
admonish
men
for
their
sinnes
.
Likewise
we
allege
the
immoderate
desire
of
lust
to
be
a
cause
,
whereby
it
commeth
to
passe
,
Immoderate
desire
of
last
a
cause
.
that
the
seeds
of
men
and
women
are
caused
to
be
very
feeble
and
imperfect
,
whereby
of
necessity
a
feeble
and
imperfect
Feature
must
ensue
.
The
defect
of
the
seede
causeth
the
defect
of
the
Feature
.
For
the
defect
of
seede
going
before
,
the
consequence
is
,
that
a
defect
of
the
Feature
doth
follow
;
and
contrariewise
,
if
the
seed
shall
be
superfluous
,
it
is
easily
collected
and
concluded
,
that
superfluous
things
are
ingendred
of
a
superfluous
matter
.
But
if
at
any
time
two
Infants
doe
grow
together
,
The
causes
of
two
children
growing
together
.
sometime
this
thing
is
caused
of
thinne
and
corrupt
seede
:
sometime
by
terrours
and
affrightments
,
and
also
other
evill
chances
,
whereby
it
falleth
out
,
that
the
children
already
conceived
before
in
the
wombe
,
are
squashed
together
,
and
the
seeds
being
broken
,
doe
grow
together
in
some
part
.
Similies
.
For
as
Creame
or
the
fatnesse
of
milke
,
although
it
be
congealed
and
clotted
together
,
notwithstanding
with
some
motion
is
troubled
and
spoiled
,
and
even
as
the
flowers
&
blossomes
of
the
trees
are
cast
down
with
any
wind●
so
also
the
conceived
seeds
by
an
easie
and
small
mischance
may
be
corrupted
that
they
may
flow
abroad
,
and
by
flowing
abroad
are
altogether
commixed
and
mingled
together
,
or
at
least
doe
in
some
sort
grow
,
and
increase
together
,
whereby
it
must
needes
be
,
that
some
deformed
and
mishapen
birth
must
follow
,
which
God
the
first
Authour
doth
permit
and
suffer
to
be
formed
so
and
shaped
,
for
the
punishment
and
admonition
of
men
.
The
causes
of
cloven
or
Hare-lips
.
Many
also
are
ingendred
with
cloven
lips
,
after
the
forme
and
manner
of
the
mouth
of
a
Hare
(
and
are
named
Hare-lips
)
either
in
one
,
or
in
both
parts
of
the
lips
,
and
they
grow
together
,
with
that
evill
&
deformity
,
which
things
we
must
understand
to
be
caused
by
terrours
,
and
sudden
sights
of
Hares
,
Swine
,
or
other
Cattell
,
this
sudden
terrour
troubling
and
moving
the
conceived
seed
.
Againe
,
through
longing
&
terrors
,
many
are
borne
,
The
causes
of
spots
&
marks
in
children
.
which
have
divers
spots
and
markes
imprinted
on
the
body
,
to
wit
,
of
Hares
,
of
Mice
,
of
divers
colours
,
of
a
bunch
or
cluster
of
grapes
,
of
flames
of
fire
,
and
other
things
.
Which
things
because
they
are
common
and
often
,
we
would
not
let
them
out
to
view
by
severall
Figures
.
It
happeneth
also
that
some
are
ingendred
,
and
do
grow
and
increase
untill
some
time
,
that
hee
that
vieweth
them
cannot
determine
and
be
resolved
of
what
sex
or
kinde
they
may
be
of
.
The
more
unskilfull
doe
supp●●●●●em
to
be
of
both
kindes
,
but
they
are
farre
〈◊〉
.
For
it
falleth
out
by
some
chance
,
that
the
seed
gathereth
some
corruption
about
these
members
:
For
example
sake
.
An
Example
.
It
happened
that
such
a
child
was
brought
before
us
,
concerning
whom
,
it
was
not
apparent
of
what
sex
or
kind
he
should
be
.
The
testicles
or
stones
did
appeare
outwardly
,
but
no
privie
member
besides
,
under
the
testicles
there
was
a
rupture
and
division
from
which
the
water
did
issue
forth
.
But
because
by
reason
of
the
defect
of
the
yard
,
or
urine-pipe
standing
outwardly
(
for
it
was
not
altogether
wanting
,
but
turned
inwardly
toward
the
rupture
even
new
spoken
of
)
Nature
had
given
this
way
to
the
urine
,
it
seemed
good
that
it
should
not
be
baptized
for
a
maiden
childe
,
nor
for
such
a
one
as
is
both
Male
and
Female
,
The
conjecture
of
the
mother
.
but
for
a
man-childe
.
And
the
mother
did
confesse
that
she
was
greatly
affrighted
,
and
terrified
,
by
a
certaine
thing
she
had
seene
;
so
that
she
did
conjecture
,
that
by
that
meanes
,
that
was
so
contracted
,
and
shrunck
unto
the
child
.
But
because
such
things
are
rather
perceived
by
the
understanding
,
than
the
eyes
,
wee
would
not
frame
any
Figure
peculiar
to
such
a
birth
.
But
now
〈◊〉
returne
to
another
Figure
.
That
of
brutes
such
various
shapes
are
borne
,
it
is
lesse
wonder
therefore
,
when
as
Pliny
reports
of
living
creatures
in
Africa
that
have
such
various
formes
and
shapes
,
seeing
their
coupling
and
conception
is
of
divers
creatures
.
Rabbi
Moses
in
his
Aphorismes
,
Particle
25.
Rabbi
Moses
his
report
.
writeth
thus
:
In
Sicilie
there
happened
a
great
Eclipse
of
the
Sunne
,
and
in
that
yeere
women
brought
forth
very
many
deformed
&
double-headed
children
.
It
may
be
demanded
here
,
whether
beasts
may
conceive
by
men
,
Whether
beasts
may
conceive
by
men
.
or
in
like
sort
women
of
beasts
.
We
affirme
this
may
come
to
passe
for
three
reasons
:
First
,
by
naturall
appetite
.
Secondly
,
by
the
provocation
of
Nature
by
delight
:
Thirdly
,
by
the
attractive
vertue
of
the
Matrix
,
Histories
of
some
that
have
had
carnall
copulation
with
beasts
.
which
in
beasts
and
women
is
alike
.
Examples
are
at
hand
;
For
Plutarch
in
his
lesser
Paralells
hath
these
words
.
Aristonymus
Ephesius
the
sonne
of
Demostratus
,
when
hee
hated
women
,
had
carnall
company
with
an
Asse
,
which
in
processe
of
time
brought
forth
a
most
beautifull
Maiden-childe
,
named
Onoscelin
,
Aristotle
being
author
of
it
in
the
second
of
his
Paradoxes
.
And
againe
,
when
as
Fulvius
Stellus
did
disdaine
and
hate
women
,
he
had
carnall
company
with
a
Mare
,
which
,
the
Months
of
bearing
being
passed
over
,
brought
forth
a
very
beautifull
Maiden-child
,
which
he
named
Epona
(
peradventure
Hippona
.
A
Goddesse
which
taketh
care
of
Horses
.
)
And
indeede
,
there
is
a
goddesse
of
this
name
,
which
taketh
care
of
Horses
,
as
Agesilaus
writeth
in
his
third
booke
of
the
affaires
of
Italy
.
Againe
,
of
one
Fulvius
and
a
Mare
,
the
Maiden-child
Hippo
,
is
said
to
be
borne
as
wee
reade
in
Plutarch
.
And
even
as
Nature
doth
change
and
alter
her self

CHAP.
IIII.
Of
the
causes
and
signes
of
aborcement
,
or
untimely
births
,
and
also
of
all
manner
of
cure
of
such
as
suffer
abortion
.
WE
must
understand
,
The
causes
of
aborcement
are
two-fold
.
that
it
happeneth
from
inward
and
outward
causes
,
that
women
suffer
aborcement
,
that
is
to
say
,
bring
forth
an
immature
Feature
,
or
an
untimely
fruit
.
The
inward
causes
,
Inward
causes
.
are
considered
from
the
Feature
it selfe
,
or
from
the
Matrix
;
If
it
happen
by
the
Feature
,
it
is
caused
,
for
that
the
Cotilidons
are
over-weake
(
which
are
veines
by
which
the
conception
is
tied
and
fastned
in
the
Matrix
)
by
whose
feeblenesse
and
weaknesse
the
mouthes
,
or
specks
of
the
veines
in
the
Matrix
,
named
in
Latine
Acetabula
,
are
caused
to
be
quickly
dissolved
and
broken
,
and
aborcement
doth
follow
.
Againe
,
if
the
coats
,
or
caules
also
,
wherein
the
childe
is
wrapped
and
infolded
in
the
womb
,
be
loosed
,
dissolved
and
broken
through
debility
and
weaknesse
,
and
the
retained
and
inclosed
humours
doe
issue
forth
,
by
which
fluxe
,
the
Matrix
is
made
slippery
and
feeblish
,
and
the
Feature
destitute
of
moist
nourishment
,
doe
perish
and
be
destroyed
:
and
also
likewise
,
if
venomous
humours
flow
and
issue
forth
,
and
stirre
and
pricke
forward
the
expulsive
faculty
of
the
Matrix
.
It
chanceth
also
sometime
,
that
abortion
is
caused
,
in
respect
of
the
Matrix
,
by
an
inward
cause
;
that
happeneth
when
the
woman
is
weake
,
and
waxing
feeble
and
faint
,
doth
substract
and
withdraw
nourishment
from
the
Feature
,
that
it
hath
no
augmentation
,
nor
sufficient
matter
to
ingender
and
procreate
the
members
.
Further
,
in
respect
of
the
Matrix
,
the
wide
and
ample
largenesse
of
the
mouth
of
the
Matrix
,
and
the
immoderate
humidity
and
moistnesse
of
the
same
,
the
evill
disposition
and
distemperature
of
the
qualities
,
also
ventosity
,
or
vapours
inclosed
within
the
Matrix
,
and
the
ulcers
and
Apostumations
of
the
same
doe
minister
and
afford
a
cause
and
occasion
of
aborcement
:
And
also
other
maladies
and
infirmities
,
as
an
immoderat
flux
of
blood
,
an
unkinde
loosenesse
of
the
belly
,
the
disease
Tenasmus
(
which
is
a
desire
to
goe
to
stoole
when
nothing
can
be
voided
)
the
cough
,
Tenasmus
.
continuall
sneesing
,
and
what
things
soever
do
shake
the
body
over-much
:
yea
,
likewise
every
sharp
sicknesse
,
which
doth
so
molest
the
body
of
the
woman
,
that
it
disperseth
the
nutriments
of
the
Feature
.
Outward
causes
.
Besides
the
externall
or
outward
causes
,
which
chance
outwardly
,
and
hasten
and
procure
aborcement
,
are
also
many
:
such
as
are
,
falls
,
running
,
leaping
or
dauncing
,
riding
,
immoderate
exercise
and
blowes
.
Also
inconvenient
and
intemperate
application
and
use
of
things
,
which
are
without
the
body
,
as
of
the
aire
too
hot
,
or
too
cold
.
For
great
coldnesse
doth
destroy
the
Feature
;
but
overmuch
heate
intercepteth
and
keepeth
away
the
aire
from
the
Infant
,
and
stifleth
and
strangleth
him
in
the
wombe
.
Hot
bathes
also
effect
the
same
thing
,
if
women
doe
use
them
the
first
three
moneths
after
conception
:
Also
noysome
stinckes
and
savours
doe
provoke
and
procure
abortion
,
as
of
Lamps
or
Candles
newly
put
out
,
as
Aristotle
witnesseth
.
Likewise
an
intemperate
using
of
unkinde
meate
and
drinke
;
as
by
the
greedy
desire
of
an
unnaturall
appetite
,
to
eate
immoderate
store
of
Salt
,
to
eate
coales
dirt
,
or
such
things
,
by
which
naughty
and
corrupt
humours
,
or
hurtfull
drinesse
is
caused
and
procured
.
Also
great
hunger
doth
hurt
the
Feature
very
much
;
and
over-much
repletion
and
surfeting
,
the
waies
and
passages
of
nourishment
being
soone
stopped
,
doth
suffocate
and
choke
him
.
Further
,
immoderate
exercise
,
intemperate
labours
,
immoderate
sleep
;
also
unseasonable
and
over-much
watching
,
or
continuall
sluggishnesse
and
slothfulnesse
,
doe
harme
and
endamage
the
Feature
.
Likewise
other
accidents
and
chances
,
such
as
are
,
sudden
fury
,
great
danger
,
exceeding
great
feare
,
over-much
sorrow
,
sudden
joy
,
dull
appetite
,
desire
of
things
not
to
be
gotten
,
immoderate
Venus
,
unfaciable
lust
.
And
these
things
concerning
the
causes
.
Moreover
,
the
signes
of
aborcement
to
come
,
Signes
of
aborcement
.
whether
they
proceed
from
internall
or
externall
causes
,
are
two-fold
.
First
,
before
conception
,
there
are
some
fore-shewing
tokens
belonging
to
these
women
which
are
wont
to
abort
,
and
bring
forth
unripe
fruit
,
as
superfluous
moisture
,
sudden
and
unaccustomed
fatnesse
,
as
if
they
wax
fat
contrary
to
their
nature
,
which
alwaies
were
wont
to
be
of
a
leane
and
slender
body
.
Or
such
women
will
suffer
aborcement
,
which
have
a
continuall
paine
about
the
Kidnies
,
or
else
doe
suddenly
fall
into
other
perilous
and
dangerous
diseases
.
Next
after
conception
,
be
thou
most
certaine
and
sure
of
an
aborcement
to
ensue
,
by
these
signes
and
notes
,
when
you
shall
perceive
the
dugs
suddenly
to
waxe
soft
and
lancke
,
which
before
were
plump
and
hard
;
if
immeasurable
fluxes
and
the
Flowers
shall
issue
forth
continually
.
Further
also
,
if
the
shivering
Agues
,
coldnesse
,
and
paines
of
the
head
with
a
mistinesse
and
dimnesse
of
the
eyes
shall
suddenly
ceaze
upon
the
woman
conceived
with
childe
.
All
which
things
do
prognosticate
and
signifie
that
Aborcement
shall
follow
quickly
after
.
How
it
is
to
be
observed
,
that
the
childe
is
dead
in
the
wombe
.
But
that
the
Feature
is
dead
in
the
wombe
,
hereby
it
is
evident
,
when
no
motion
is
felt
any
more
in
the
wombe
,
when
the
eyes
of
the
impregnant
and
conceived
woman
doe
wax
hollow
,
when
her
colour
is
changed
into
a
swartish
whitenesse
,
when
great
wringings
and
gripings
happen
about
the
Navell
and
loynes
,
whereby
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
the
lower
parts
are
pressed
and
clunged
together
:
The
Strangury
and
Tenasmus
do
happen
,
Also
the
Strangury
and
Tenasmus
doe
happen
(
the
former
being
a
difficultie
to
voide
the
Vrine
,
issuing
out
by
drops
,
and
the
latter
a
desire
and
motion
to
goe
to
stoole
without
any
ability
to
voide
the
excrements
)
Againe
,
when
the
eares
,
the
lips
,
and
the
end
of
the
nostrills
are
stiffe
with
a
pale
coldnes
,
and
the
face
beginneth
to
swell
.
Also
although
the
belly
doth
not
fall
downe
flat
,
yet
it
waxeth
soft
,
so
that
you
may
feele
by
touching
in
one
side
of
her
lying
downe
,
a
certaine
hard
lump
.
If
the
breath
stincke
,
it
is
a
certaine
token
that
the
Feature
hath
begun
already
to
be
putrefied
and
corrupted
.
It
remaineth
the
causes
and
signes
being
knowne
,
to
know
also
the
cure
,
Of
the
cure
of
aborcements
.
and
the
certaine
manner
either
of
preventing
or
correcting
Aborcement
.
And
first
,
truely
,
Before
conception
.
to
prevent
and
avoide
the
danger
of
Aborting
,
wee
had
neede
to
know
the
certaine
way
and
manner
,
yea
before
Conception
.
1.
Convenient
meate
and
drinke
to
be
used
.
For
if
the
woman
shall
accustome
to
Abort
and
to
be
delivered
before
due
time
through
debility
and
weaknesse
,
shee
shall
be
comforted
and
strengthened
with
convenient
meat
and
drinke
,
that
shee
may
be
in
better
ease
,
her
body
being
somewhat
fatter
,
and
that
is
to
be
done
before
the
time
of
her
conception
.
If
the
amplitude
and
largenesse
of
the
Orifice
and
entrance
of
the
Matrix
shall
be
an
occasion
,
2.
The
orifice
of
the
Matrix
to
be
restrained
and
made
narrower
.
it
must
be
restrained
and
made
more
narrow
,
and
the
surperfluous
humours
evacuated
and
purged
,
by
some
convenient
medicine
being
used
orderly
.
But
if
it
be
found
,
3.
Ventosities
to
be
diminished
and
dispersed
.
that
ventosity
or
vapours
inclosed
in
the
Matrix
,
are
the
causes
,
they
are
to
be
diminished
and
dispersed
in
a
manner
aforespoken
,
where
we
handled
it
concerning
the
false
conception
Mola
.
Further
,
although
the
woman
have
already
conceived
,
After
conception
.
as
yet
aborcement
may
be
avoided
by
assured
remedy
and
cure
.
1.
A
temperate
aire
,
moderat
exercise
and
sleepe
.
And
first
,
truely
,
let
her
dwell
and
abide
in
a
temperate
aire
,
which
hath
conceived
let
the
exercise
of
her
body
,
especially
the
first
three
Moneths
,
be
moderate
,
lest
the
ligaments
or
stay-bands
of
the
Infant
,
being
as
yet
tender
and
weake
be
broken
.
Let
her
sleepe
be
moderate
;
The
belly
to
be
kept
loose
.
Let
her
not
suffer
her
belly
to
be
bound
,
How
the
belly
is
to
be
made
laxative
.
but
let
her
keepe
it
reasonable
loose
and
laxative
;
but
if
it
chance
to
be
costive
and
bound
,
let
it
sometime
be
loosened
and
set
at
liberty
with
a
Clyster
confected
of
Cassia
extracted
,
Sugar
,
and
common
oile
.
This
hath
no
danger
in
it
,
neither
(
as
it
is
in
the
judgement
of
the
unskilfull
)
is
death
hastened
by
Clysters
,
but
the
belly
constipated
and
hardned
,
is
by
them
loosened
,
to
performe
his
naturall
office
and
function
.
Not
withstanding
,
if
some
cannot
abide
to
use
them
,
they
may
use
other
things
relaxing
and
unbinding
the
belly
,
to
wit
,
Cassia
extracted
,
or
Manna
taken
in
broth
,
or
prepared
to
the
forme
of
an
Electuary
or
morsell
gilded
.
But
here
especially
wee
must
take
heede
,
Strong
medicines
not
to
be
given
the
first
foure
months
.
that
stronger
medicines
be
not
given
to
women
with
childe
,
the
first
foure
moneths
of
her
child-bearing
,
lest
the
ligaments
and
binders
as
yet
being
feeble
and
weake
,
bee
too
slacke
to
stay
and
hold
the
Feature
.
When
it
shall
be
needfull
to
open
a
veine
,
Median
veine
to
be
opened
.
one
of
the
Median
veines
is
to
bee
opened
.
But
this
thing
is
to
bee
done
no
more
than
once
,
lest
by
taking
away
of
the
bloud
,
nourishment
bee
diminished
and
withdrawne
from
the
Feature
,
but
it
shall
bee
more
safe
and
lesse
dangerous
to
doe
this
,
halfe
the
time
of
her
childe-bearing
being
expired
.
Anger
,
excessive
ioy
,
terrors
and
feares
to
be
avoyded
.
After
Conception
,
also
let
the
conceived-women
bridle
themselves
from
all
anger
,
let
them
absteyne
from
overmuch
ioy
,
let
them
take
heed
of
terrours
and
feares
,
and
whatsoever
may
moove
the
mind
suddenly
.
Also
let
them
forbeare
from
much
carnall
society
in
the
first
three
moneths
,
Much
carnall
society
to
be
forborne
.
the
feature
as
yet
being
but
tender
.
Gemmes
and
precious
stones
to
bee
worne
.
It
is
also
profitable
to
weare
about
them
gemmes
and
precious-stones
,
as
the
Saphire
,
Iacint
,
Corall
,
the
precious
stone
Corneola
,
Adamant
,
Thurchese
.
Let
their
meate
and
drinke
be
temperate
.
Let
all
sharpe
and
biting
things
be
avoided
,
as
Leekes
,
Onyons
,
Garlicke
,
Mustard
,
Leekes
,
Onyons
,
Garlicke
,
&c.
to
be
avoided
.
and
such
like
things
,
and
with
them
whatsoeever
may
procure
the
Termes
to
issue
,
and
such
things
as
binde
and
harden
the
belly
.
What
meate
soever
they
covet
,
The
not
inioying
of
meates
desired
,
causeth
aborcement
.
No
speach
to
be
made
of
meates
not
to
be
had
before
women
conceived
.
let
them
enioy
the
same
,
For
to
lett
and
barre
them
from
satisfying
their
appetite
and
longing
,
bringeth
and
causeth
a
most
speedy
Aborcement
.
Therefore
care
is
to
be
had
,
that
speach
bee
not
made
of
meate
not
to
bee
gotten
before
women
conceived
with
childe
,
or
if
they
be
carried
of
their
owne
will
with
a
strange
appetite
,
they
are
to
bee
reduced
and
drawne
backe
from
that
desire
,
by
any
convenient
meanes
,
as
much
as
may
be
done
.
2.
The
stomach
to
be
comforted
and
strengthened
.
Further
,
because
it
happeneth
,
that
there
is
much
corrupt
matter
in
women
conceived
with
childe
,
which
if
it
doth
distill
downe
into
the
stomacke
,
corrupteth
the
appetite
,
and
causeth
a
loathing
of
meate
and
vomiting
;
and
exhaling
and
fuming
from
thence
,
sendeth
up
stincking
vapours
to
the
head
,
whereby
the
giddinesse
of
the
head
(
named
in
Latine
Vertigo
)
with
very
many
other
diseases
of
the
brain
doth
follow
and
ensue
;
Giddinesse
of
the
head
.
besides
,
if
they
have
recourse
to
the
heart
,
Fainting
and
swoonings
.
Swelling
in
the
legges
.
they
cause
and
ingender
fainting
of
the
spirits
,
and
swoonings
:
if
they
descend
and
fall
downe
to
the
legges
,
they
cause
them
to
swell
very
much
.
Therefore
to
decline
and
avoid
so
many
and
so
great
dangers
,
wee
must
have
care
and
regard
above
all
things
for
the
comforting
and
strengthening
of
the
stomach
.
First
of
all
this
oyntment
will
doe
good
.
Take
of
the
oyle
of
Odoriferous
Spicke
one
ounce
,
oyle
of
Masticke
,
oile
of
Quinces
,
How
the
stomach
is
to
be
comforted
.
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
,
Pearles
,
red-Corals
prepared
,
Noble-Mints
,
Calamus
Aromaticus
,
Gallia
Muscata
,
of
each
halfe
a
dram
,
Musk
one
graine
,
White
Waxe
as
much
as
may
suffice
.
Temper
them
and
make
a
Liniment
or
soft
unguent
in
a
liquid
forme
:
the
Stomach
shall
be
annoynted
every
day
with
this
oyntment
before
dinner
,
a
warme
Fomentation
laid
upon
it
:
the
which
thing
being
done
,
the
Electuary
named
Diamargariton
is
alwaies
to
be
taken
,
or
the
Electuary
following
,
prepared
in
this
manner
.
Take
of
conserue
of
Roses
,
Borrage
,
An
Electuary
.
and
Buglosse
,
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
,
of
the
Species
of
Diamargariton
Drams
too
,
Corall
prepared
,
Pearles
prepared
,
of
each
halfe
a
scruple
,
the
powder
of
precious
stones
halfe
a
dram
:
temper
all
these
together
,
and
with
Syrup
of
Roses
make
an
Electuary
,
and
let
it
be
gilded
with
a
leave
of
pure
gold
.
Because
also
the
first
three
moneths
,
Aborcements
are
caused
through
ventosities
and
windinesse
,
3.
How
ventosities
or
winds
are
to
be
dispersed
and
dispelled
.
the
meate
of
the
woman
with
childe
shall
be
continually
seasoned
with
these
spices
:
Take
Cinamome
,
Nutmeg
,
Cardomomus
,
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
,
Ginger
six
drams
,
long
Peper
one
dram
,
Saffron
halfe
a
scruple
;
of
these
shall
be
a
powder
made
,
which
may
be
used
in
all
meats
.
But
when
the
ventosity
and
windinesse
shall
begin
to
be
augmented
and
increased
,
they
must
use
the
confections
of
Diagalanga
,
Diatrionpipereon
,
Diacyminum
,
and
the
like
.
And
it
shall
be
profitable
thorowly
to
annoint
the
belly
and
flanck
with
oile
of
Lillies
.
But
for
the
repressing
of
vapours
fuming
up
into
the
head
,
Stiptick
fruits
to
be
eaten
after
meats
.
alwaies
stiptick
and
binding
fruits
are
to
be
taken
after
meat
,
that
is
,
Peares
,
Quinces
,
Medlers
,
Coriandrum
Saccharatum
,
or
Diacydonion
,
which
Avicen
approveth
before
all
other
things
for
that
purpose
.
Salt
meates
with
vinegar
,
water
in
which
gold
hath
beene
quenched

.
Rosted
flesh
and
fish
better
than
boiled
.
Also
salt
meates
with
Vinegar
,
and
water
in
which
gold
heat
red-hot
is
extinguished
and
quenched
,
taken
with
meat
are
very
much
approved
.
Likewise
it
shall
be
more
wholesome
to
eate
rosted
flesh
and
fish
,
than
boiled
very
well
seasoned
with
spices
.
Let
their
wine
be
cleare
,
wholesome
,
and
a
little
allaied
with
water
:
After
meat
it
is
profitable
to
take
some
Filbird-nuts
covered
over
with
Sugar
;
How
the
swelling
of
the
legs
is
to
be
taken
away
.
but
for
the
taking
away
of
the
swelling
of
their
legs
,
let
the
stalkes
of
Colewoorts
or
Camomile-flowers
be
sodden
with
wine
and
vinegar
,
and
let
a
fomentation
or
bathing
be
made
upon
them
with
these
.
Some
doe
mingle
clay
with
water
,
wherein
red-hot
steele
hath
beene
quenched
,
a
little
Vinegar
being
sprinckled
upon
it
,
and
doe
lay
such
fomentations
upon
the
legges
.
But
if
abortion
is
to
be
feared
by
reason
of
the
diseases
of
the
Kidnies

and
of
the
Loines
,
a
great
inflammation
accompanying
those
grievances
,
which
may
be
knowne
by
the
urine
or
water
,
the
loynes
are
to
be
annointed
with
this
Vnguent
:

,
red
Roses
,
Succus
Acacia
,

,
Hypocisthis
,
of
each
halfe
a
dram
.
Let
those
things
which
are
to
be
powdred
,
be
beaten
to
powder
,
and
let
them
be
commixed
and
tempered
together
with
Vinegar
,
white
Waxe
,
and
Turpentine
so
much
as
sufficeth
,
and
make
an
Vnguent
of
them
.
After
this
ointment
hath
beene
used
a
few
daies
,
this
plaister
following
shall
be
laid
afterward
upon
the
Kidnies
&
Loines
.
Take

Acacia
,
Terra

,
red

,
Bole

,
of
each
one
dram
and
a
halfe
;
to
these
adde
a
little
quantity
of
oile
of
Mirtles
,
or
Turpentine
,
and
make
a
Cerot
,
or
Cere-cloth
which
may
be
spread
upon
a
piece
of
Leather
.
But
if
it
be
suspected
that
abortion
will
follow
by
a
cold
cause
,
we
must
abstaine
from
this
ointment
,
and
we
must
use
the
plaister
here
following
.
Take
Masticke
six
drams
,
Ladanum
foure
drams
and
a
halfe
,
yellow
Wax
,
Colophonia
,
Ship-pitch
,
or
Stone-pitch
,
Styrax
Calamita
,
of
each
one
dram
and
a
halfe
,
Cypresse-nuts
,
Mints
,
Bistorte
,
Gallia
muscata
,
Frankincense
,
Galbanum
,
Gum
,
Arabick
,
Mirth
,
of
each
one
dram
and
a
halfe
;
Make
a
plaister
of
them
with
Turpentine
.
If
the
woman
shall
feele
an
itching
under
it
,
this
must
be
taken
away
for
a
few
daies
,
then
afterward
it
must
be
applied
to
the
place
againe
,
neither
must
it
altogether
be
omitted
,
because
the
Kidnies
and
Loines
are
very
much
strengthned
by
this
.
And
,
if
the
belly
of
the
woman
with
childe
shall
be
overlaxative
and
loose
,
it
shall
be
restrained
with
an
Electuary
confected
in
this
order
:
Take
the
confection
Diamarinaton
(
that
is
,
sower
Cherries
condite
)
Diacydoniton
,
Electuarium
de
Cornis
,
conserve
of
Roses
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
the
cups
of
Akornes
,
Terra
sigillata
,
of
each
one
dram
.
Temper
them
with
the
syrup
of
Pomegranates
,
and
make
an
Electuary
in
a
liquid
forme
;
this
taken
morning
and
evening
,
and
before
meat
,
is
very
much
approved
:
Also
in
this
case
Crab-fishes
gathered
out
of
brookes
and
rivers
,
are
commended
of
Hippocrates
.
Likewise
all
meats
sodden
in
water
,
wherein
iron
or
steele
red
hot
hath
beene
quenched
,
or
tempered
with
the
juyce
of
Acacia
:
also
wine
alaid
with
that
water
;
let
not
her
meat
be
thin
and
moist
,
but
dry
and
thicke
;
let
Dates
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
fruit
of
the
Date-tree
,
be
sodden
with
her
pottage
.
If
these
things
shal
not
bind
the
belly
,
it
shall
be
convenient
to
use
a
strictive
Clysters
;
and
if
shee
shall
be
grieved
with
the
disease
Tenasmus
,
and
goeth
often
to
the
stoole
,
but
voideth
nothing
,
so
aborcement
is
to
be
feared
,
all
those
things
are
to
be
used
before
spoken
,
with
which
the
belly
may
be
unloosed
and
made
slippery
,
and
also
Clysters
and
Suppositories
.
Likewise
the
Diet
is
to
be
prescribed
and
ordered
according
to
the
forme
and
manner
before
set
downe
.
8.
If
the
child-bearing
woman
shall
abound
with
noisome
humors
,
whereby
many
diseases
may
follow
,
as
a
Tertian
,
Quartane
,
or
a
continuall
Fever
,
the
which
as
Hippocrates
telleth
us
,
doe
easily
cause
abortion
,
because
by
them
the
nutriment
of
the
Feature
is
diminished
,
or
if
the
fits
be
great
,
with
great
paines
of
the
head
and
immoderate
heat
,
then
wee
must
resist
the
heat
in
this
manner
:
Take
water
of
Roses
,
of
Betony
,
of
Sage
,
Vinegar
,
of
Night-shade
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
Bole-Armeniack
,
one
scruple
,
of
all
the
kindes
of
Sanders
,
of
each
halfe
a
dram
,
Terra
sigillata
,
Saffron
,
of
each
one
scruple
.
Mixe
them
together
with
the
white
of
an
Egge
,
and
make
a
soft
ointment
to
be
laid
upon
the
Temples
of
the
head
;
shee
may
use
also
in
stead
of
a
Cordiall
medicine
,
the
confection
Diatriasandalon
,
conserve
of
Roses
,
Borage
and
Buglosse
.
But
if
it
shall
happen
also
that
the
Matrix
be
inflamed
,
earth-wormes
are
to
be
pounded
in
a
mortar
,
of
which
,
Vineger
,
the
iuyce
of
Rue
,
and
common
oyle
mixed
with
them
,
let
there
be
made
a
soft
oyntment
,
or
the
Emplaster
of
Sanders
,
or
the
plaster
named
Coctum
Album
shall
be
layed
upon
it
.
But
if
the
second
or
third
moneth
,
the
Whites
shall
beginne
to
issue
forth
by
reason
of
Phlegmaticke
humours
abounding
,
whereby
the
Cotyledons
are
grieved
(
which
are
veines
to
which
the
Feature
is
fastned
in
the
wombe
)
and
the
mouth
of
the
Matrix
becommeth
slippery
,
and
therefore
it
is
to
be
feared
,
that
the
woman
shall
suffer
Aborcement
,
we
must
proceede
altogether
in
that
manner
,
as
wee
have
declared
in
the
Cure
of
dispersing
Ventositie
and
windie
matter
.
Divers
experiments
leting
Abortion
.
Furthermore
other
experiments
also
are
approved
.
A
little
bone
(
which
they
call
Saltus
,
or
Astragalus
Leporis
)
to
bee
carried
about
the
woman
,
and
to
drinke
of
it
daily
,
the
stomacke
being
empty
.
Also
the
stone
named
Lapis-stellatus
so
enchased
in
gold
or
silver
,
that
it
may
touch
the
naked
body
.
Some
women
beare
about
them
a
claw
taken
from
the
foot
of
a
Beare
.
Also
the
ashes
gathered
together
of
a
Hedgehog
being
burnt
and
tempered
with
oyle
,
affordeth
an
oyntment
very
commodious
and
profitable
for
this
affection
and
passion
.
Little
wormes
are
found
underneath
herbes
,
which
if
they
be
hanged
alive
on
the
womans
necke
,
shee
shall
never
Aborte
,
neither
bring
forth
before
due
season
,
(
as
some
are
bold
to
promise
,
and
let
the
truth
of
the
matter
depend
upon
their
credit
.
)
For
they
say
they
have
such
great
efficacy
to
hinder
the
birth
,
that
the
woman
cannot
be
delivered
,
unlesse
they
bee
removed
.
Wherefore
they
admonish
that
they
must
bee
alwaies
removed
and
taken
away
in
time
.
Also
the
stone
named
Lapis
Aetiles
(
which
some
say
is
found
in
an
Eagles
nest
)
is
proved
against
Aborcements
and
over
hastie
birthes
,
which
in
like
manner
is
reported
to
further
and
promote
a
lingring
and
over-flow
birth
.
10.
There
are
likewise
some
other
external
things
,
which
chance
outwardly
,
and
for
all
that
doe
cause
aborting
to
women
by
a
naturall
cause
,
as
if
a
woman-conceived
with
childe
doe
tread
upon
a
serpent
,
viper
,
the
egge
of
a
Crow
(
as
some
doe
write
)
or
a
dead
serpent
with
two
heads
named
Amphisbaena
.
Some
also
doth
attribute
this
property
to
Castoreum
carried
in
the
bosome
.
But
if
it
happen
that
the
Termes
issue
forth
after
Conception
,
11.
they
are
not
straight
way
to
be
stopped
,
unlesse
the
woman
become
weake
with
Flowing
of
them
.
If
they
issue
forth
moderately
,
this
thing
is
to
bee
permitted
,
because
they
signifie
that
much
slyminesse
and
distempered
humours
and
abundance
of
bloud
is
deteyned
in
the
wombe
.
If
they
flow
forth
more
copiously
they
shall
bee
stayed
and
restreyned
with
Acacia
,
Hypocisthis
,
and
Lin-seed
sodden
in
water
,
to
be
used
by
a
bathe
or
Fomentation
;
If
the
legs
shal
be
swoln
,
which
thing
often
time
happeneth
the
three
former
monethes
,
regard
is
to
bee
had
of
the
liver
and
stomacke
,
that
they
may
bee
lightened
and
eased
from
superfluous
humors
,
and
let
meats
bee
given
them
of
another
quality
.
If
the
liver
grow
hard
to
women-conceived
with
childe
,
it
is
a
hard
thing
to
remedy
it
,
because
as
Galen
witnesseth
,
in
this
passion
they
are
not
able
to
endure
strong
medicines
.
Wherefore
the
most
gentlest
shall
bee
administred
to
them
.
But
because
it
falleth
out
,
that
dead
Features
sometime
doe
proceed
forth
more
slowly
,
and
sometimes
never
,
even
as
the
Secundines
doe
,
wee
must
understand
that
most
great
dangers
doe
happen
to
women
,
&
also
sicknesses
,
swooning
&
failing
of
life
,
especially
in
sommer-time
,
by
reason
of
venemous
vapours
,
fuming
and
flying
upward
from
the
putrefying
Feature
,
and
so
greatly
vexing
and
molesting
the
heart
and
the
brain
,
that
oftentimes
they
are
deprived
of
the
use
of
reason
and
understanding
.
Therefore
all
care
is
to
bee
used
and
imployed
,
that
dead
Features
may
speedily
be
expelled
,
&
the
poore
women
freed
from
so
great
dangers
,
which
thing
how
it
may
bee
done
,
wee
have
taught
in
the
former
books
by
a
large
discourse
.
CHAP.
V.
Of
the
signes
of
Conception
.
ALthough
it
be
a
hard
thing
to
know
the
true
conception
of
women
,
yet
we
may
give
a
coniecture
by
many
signes
,
and
attaine
unto
it
by
some
arguments
confirmed
and
ratified
by
experience
.
It
is
credited
for
certaine
signe
of
conception
,
if
the
woman
,
the
tenth
day
or
some
day
sooner
,
after
shee
had
company
carnally
with
man
,
shall
perceive
the
Termes
to
bee
white
or
red
by
reason
of
humours
,
also
the
stopping
and
retention
of
the
Termes
is
accompted
for
a
signe
,
yet
it
deceiveth
,
because
it
happeneth
also
often
times
without
conception
.
Therefore
this
being
omitted
,
wee
will
prosecute
other
notes
and
signes
taken
from
the
body
of
the
woman
herselfe
concerning
true
conception
,
every
member
and
part
examined
,
and
first
the
beginning
shall
proceed
from
the
head
.
The
paines
of
the
head
,
swimming
of
the
brain
,
and
dymnesse
of
the
eyes
,
if
they
concurre
and
chance
together
,
doe
signifie
conception
.
The
apples
of
the
eyes
are
lessened
.
The
eyes
swell
and
are
changed
into
a
swartish
colour
.
The
little
veines
doe
waxe
red
,
and
begin
to
swell
with
bloud
.
The
eyes
sinke
downe
into
the
head
.
The
eye-lids
become
feeble
.
Divers
colours
are
seene
in
the
eyes
,
and
perceived
in
a
looking-glasse
.
Red
pimples
doe
arise
in
the
face
.
The
little
veines
placed
betwixt
the
nose
and
eyes
,
are
swolne
with
bloud
,
and
are
seene
more
clearely
and
plainely
than
they
were
wont
.
The
veine
under
the
tongue
waxeth
greenish
.
The
necke
is
hot
,
the
backe-bone
cold
.
The
veines
and
arteries
are
full
,
the
pulses
are
easily
perceived
.
The
veines
situated
in
the
breast
,
at
first
wax
blacke
,
afterward
begin
to
be
yellow
,
or
to
be
of
a
blewish-colour
.
The
dugs
begin
to
swell
and
wax
hard
with
paines
.
The
nipples
beginne
to
be
reddish
.
If
cold
water
be
drunke
,
a
coldnesse
is
felt
in
the
breasts
,
A
loathing
and
refusing
of
meat
and
drinke
creepeth
upon
the
woman
.
Divers
appetites
&
longings
are
ingendred
.
A
destruction
and
decay
of
Naturall
appetite
and
desire
is
caused
and
procured
.
A
continuall
casting
and
parbreaking
and
weakenesse
of
the
stomach
.
Sower
and
slow
belchings
.
A
loathing
of
wine
.
A
disordered
and
intemperate
beating
of
the
heart
.
Sudden
ioyes
,
&
after
these
sudden
sorrowes
Wringings
and
gripings
about
the
Navell
.
Paine
of
the
loynes
.
The
lower
part
of
the
belly
is
affected
with
swellings
.
There
are
inward
compunctions
and
prickings
in
the
body
.
The
seed
is
reteyned

after
carnal
company
.
A
coldnesse
and
chilnesse
of
the
outward
members
,
after
the
act
of
Generation
.
The
attractive
faculty
and
vertue
of
the
Matrix
is
increased
.
The
Matrix
is
dryed
by
and
by
.
A
great
delight
and
pleasure
in
the
Venerious
act
,
but
after
conception
a
disdayning
of
Venus
.
The
Matrix
is
restreyned
and
closed
.
But
because
this
thing
is
procured
by
other
causes
also
,
it
may
bee
observed
and
noted
by
an
infallible
and
certaine
difference
,
when
it
foresheweth
conception
.
For
then
it
is
slender
and
soft
:
but
if
it
be
restreyned
and
closed
for
any
other
cause
,
as
by
too
much
heate
,
or
swelling
,
then
it
remayneth
harder
.
The
secret
parts
of
the
woman
are
wrinkled
even
unto
the
seaventh
moneth
.
The
wombe
waxeth
round
,
and
swelleth
.
About
the
beginning
of
Conception
,
paines
of
the
belly
and
backe
〈◊〉
felt
,
as
it
were
beating
.
The
Termes
or
Flowres
are
stopped
.
For
the
veines
,
from
whence
they
doe
flow
,
carrie
and
conveigh
by
the
mouthes
and
speckes
named
Acetabula
,
bloud
to
nourish
the
Feature
through
the
Navel
,
and
some
of
that
matter
is
drawne
upward
to
the
breasts
,
where
it
is
transmitted
,
and
changed
into
milke
.
For
so
also
Hippocrates
admonisheth
us
,
saying
;
When
the
Termes
are
retained
and
stayed
;
and
neither
Fevers
,
nor
fit
of
Agues
doe
follow
,
and
also
an
abhorring
and
refusall
of
meat
happeneth
to
the
woman
;
we
must
understand
without
doubt
,
that
the
woman
is
conceived
with
childe
.
The
legs
begin
to
swell
with
paines
&
aches
.
The
body
is
feeblished
,
and
the
face
waxeth
pale
.
The
Pulse
at
first
beateth
swiftly
,
by
and
by
slowly
.
The
excrements
of
the
belly
are
voided
more
hardly
and
painfully
,
because
the
guts
are
pressed
and
thrust
together
.
The
urine
or
water
,
is
white
,
a
little
cloud
floting
or
swimming
aloft
,
and
many
motes
are
seene
in
it
,
as
in
the
beames
of
the
Sun
:
but
first
of
all
,
in
the
first
moneth
,
when
many
such
like
things
do
sinck
down
to
the
bottome
,
they
are
drawn
out
in
length
like
unto
wooll
,
the
Vrinall
being
moved
in
which
they
are
in
.
In
the
later
moneths
the
urine
is
red
or
yellow
,
but
at
length
it
becommeth
blacke
,
a
little
red
cloud
swimming
above
.
Hippocrates
teacheth
us
to
make
triall
of
conception
with
water
mingled
with
Hony
,
that
if
the
women
having
taken
this
,
lying
downe
in
her
bed
shall
feele
gripings
or
wringings
of
the
belly
,
then
it
is
a
signe
she
hath
conceived
,
if
she
doe
not
,
she
hath
not
yet
conceived
with
child
.
Whereas
some
would
have
this
experiment
to
be
practised
by
a
suffumigation
received
underneath
,
that
maketh
little
or
nothing
to
the
matter
.
For
Hippocrates
teacheth
,
that
so
the
signes
and
tokens
of
barrennesse
and
fruitfulnesse
are
to
be
observed
,
and
not
of
conception
;
but
they
which
attribute
to
fumes
made
underneath
any
thing
for
the
searching
out
of
conception
,
do
say
,
that
the
fume
made
of
the
thing
put
underneath
must
be
restrained
&
kept
that
it
ascend
not
up
to
the
nostrills
,
they
would
have
such
conjecture
to
be
taken
of
Garlicke
put
underneath
,
and
Aristolochia
used
with
it
.
But
by
what
probable
reason
,
they
themselves
know
best
.
It
shall
be
a
more
certaine
experiment
,
to
stop
close
the
Vrine
of
the
woman
put
into
a
glasse
for
three
daies
,
which
time
being
ended
,
let
it
be
strained
thorow
a
cleane
fine
linnen-cloth
,
and
if
she
have
conceived
,
there
will
appeare
little
living
creatures
,
like
unto
Lice
,
if
they
be
red
,
they
say
,
they
do
portend
and
signifie
a
man
childe
,
if
they
be
white
,
they
say
a
maiden-childe
is
conceived
.
And
some
doe
affirme
this
thing
for
a
certainty
:
If
a
smooth
and
bright
needle
be
put
into
the
Vrine
of
a
woman
,
in
a
brazen
Bason
,
covered
close
a
night
,
on
the
morrow
,
if
the
woman
have
conceved
,
that
needle
will
be
speckled
with
red
spots
,
if
she
have
not
,
it
will
be
blacke
and
rusty
.
If
a
woman
take
the
juyce
of
Carduus
,
and
shall
cast
it
up
againe
being
taken
,
it
is
supposed
to
be
a
certain
,
signe
of
conception
.
And
so
much
concerning
confused
signes
of
conceptions
(
that
is
to
say
,
such
as
concerne
Male
and
Female
both
alike
.
)
But
whether
a
man-child
or
woman-child
be
conceived
,
it
is
delivered
and
set
downe
to
be
marked
&
observed
by
these
signes
following
.
If
it
be
a
man-child
,
The
signes
of
a
man-childe
.
the
right-eye
is
moved
more
often
,
and
is
better
affected
with
his
naturall
colour
than
the
left
.
The
right
brest
is
more
plump
and
harder
than
the
left
,
the
colour
of
the
nipples
is
changed
sooner
.
Milk
breedeth
sooner
,
and
if
it
be
drawne
out
and
opposed
,
and
set
against
the
beames
of
the
Sun
in
a
glasse
,
it
cleaveth
together
into
a
little
cleare
lump
,
not
unlike
unto
a
cleare
Pearle
.
If
the
milke
of
the
woman
conceived
with
child
be
sprinkled
into
her
urine
,
it
sinketh
by
and
by
to
the
bottome
,
if
Salt
be
put
to
it
,
it
doth
not
melt
.
The
lid
of
the
right
eye
is
redder
,
and
all
the
colour
of
the
face
is
better
than
it
was
wont
,
as
Hippocrates
telleth
us
.
Lesse
heavinesse
is
felt
.
The
first
moving
,
for
the
most
part
the
fortieth
day
,
is
felt
more
quicker
in
the
right
side
.
For
Hippocrates
instructing
concerning
the
lying
of
children
in
the
womb
,
doth
advertise
us
that
male-children
lie
on
the
right
side
,
and
female-children
on
the
left
;
because
men-children
have
need
of
more
heat
,
which
they
attract
and
draw
unto
them
from
the
Liver
,
scituated
and
seated
in
the
same
side
.
If
the
Flowers
issue
forth
the
fortieth
day
after
conception
The
belly
is
more
sharpe
about
the
Navell
.
The
woman
when
she
goeth
a
journy
,
putteth
forth
her
right
foot
first
,
and
in
rising
up
from
her
seat
,
she
doth
sooner
stay
her self
,
and
lift
her self
up
upon
her
right
hand
,
than
upon
her
left
.
The
pulse
is
more
swift
in
the
right
hand
,
than
in
the
left
.
But
if
they
shall
conceive
maiden-children
,
The
signes
of
the
conception
of
a
maiden
child
.
all
things
happen
otherwise
,
and
these
signes
,
for
the
most
part
,
are
observed
.
The
first
moving
,
for
the
most
part
,
is
made
the
nintieth
day
after
conception
.
The
moving
is
made
on
the
left
side
.
Women-children
are
carried
in
the
wombe
with
great
paines
.
The
legs
doe
swell
,
and
also
the
privie
parts
.
The
colour
is
more
pale
.
The
appetite
is
more
vehement
.
On
the
contrary
,
a
loathing
and
abhorring
of
meat
more
soone
and
speedy
.
The
Termes
doe
issue
forth
about
the
thirtieth
day
after
conception
.
If
the
powder
of
Aristolochia
be
tempered
with
Hony
,
and
the
loynes
and
the
secrets
be
annointed
with
it
,
it
is
thought
to
be
an
easie
thing
to
discerne
the
sex
:
that
if
the
spittle
of
the
child-bearing-woman
shall
be
sweete
,
shee
beareth
a
man
childe
,
if
it
shall
be
bitter
,
shee
beareth
a
woman-childe
.
The
age
also
of
women
availeth
not
a
little
.
For
women
which
are
young
,
doe
sooner
conceive
boyes
,
but
such
as
are
somewhat
aged
,
doe
sooner
conceive
girles
,
by
reason
of
the
defect
of
heat
in
the
Matrix
caused
by
old
age
.
Likewise
maiden-children
are
ingendred
by
parents
moist
and
cold
by
nature
,
of
seed
more
moist
,
cold
,
and
liquid
than
sufficeth
.
And
it
may
also
be
observed
by
certaine
signes
,
whether
the
child
be
in
good
state
in
the
wombe
or
no.
If
the
Babe
be
well
,
the
Paps
,
as
Hippocrates
testifieth
,
are
hard
.
If
it
be
not
in
health
,
watrish
milke
doth
flow
forth
from
the
dugs
voluntarily
.
Againe
,
if
their
Termes
doe
issue
forth
often-times
which
are
conceived
with
child
,
as
Pliny
averreth
,
they
signifie
that
the
childe
is
not
in
health
and
lively
,
but
weake
and
feeble
.
Further
,
fat
women
commonly
doe
beare
feeble
children
.
If
the
Hydropsie
suddenly
invade
and
take
a
woman
with
childe
,
and
her
nostrills
,
eares
,
and
lips
begin
to
be
red
,
they
portend
and
shew
that
the
fruit
in
the
wombe
is
dead
.
If
a
woman
beare
Twins
,
of
which
one
is
a
man-child
,
the
maiden-childe
is
in
great
danger
,
because
they
are
nourished
and
prosper
in
the
wombe
with
a
diverse
kind
of
nourishment
,
as
Aristotle
witnesseth
.
There
is
lesse
danger
if
they
be
maiden-children
:
For
under
Maximilian
the
Emperour
,
a
certaine
woman
brought
forth
three
maiden-children
at
one
birth
,
all
which
came
unto
a
perfect
age
.
If
a
woman
conceive
before
,
or
about
the
purging
of
her
Flowers
,
infected
and
venomous
humours
will
be
mixed
to
the
seed
,
of
which
,
it
is
found
most
commonly
,
that
Lepers
are
ingendred
(
otherwise
the
learned
doe
declare
,
that
conception
is
not
caused
,
but
the
Termes
beginning
or
ceasing
to
flow
.
)
If
a
woman
conceive
once
,
A
superfaetation
,
or
after-conception
.
and
a
little
time
after
conceive
againe
,
the
last
seede
will
hardly
live
in
the
wombe
.
For
Aristotle
declareth
,
that
a
woman
brought
forth
two
men-children
at
one
birth
alive
,
and
that
the
fifth
moneth
after
she
brought
forth
another
,
but
dead
before
in
the
wombe
.
If
the
Infant
doe
proceed
out
of
the
wombe
after
the
ninth
moneth
,
for
the
most
part
hee
is
weake
and
feeble
.
If
a
young
maiden
conceive
before
her
first
Flowers
,
she
ingendreth
an
excellent
and
perfect
Creature
.
All
these
things
being
declared
,
this
also
is
to
be
understood
,
which
Midwives
are
wont
to
observe
concerning
the
issue
to
come
,
I
meane
,
whether
the
woman
shall
bring
forth
more
children
:
For
how
many
knots
they
shall
perceive
to
be
in
the
Navell
of
the
childe
newly
borne
,
so
many
men-children
shall
afterward
be
ingendred
,
as
they
say
.
But
let
it
suffice
to
have
spoken
these
things
,
concerning
the
signes
of
conception
,
many
other
things
being
omitted
,
which
are
reported
and
delivered
.
CHAP.
VI.
Whether
men
and
women
may
ingender
or
conceive
children
of
Divells
,
or
Spirits
;
and
againe
,
whether
Divells
may
have
children
by
men
and
women
.
NO
man
doubteth
,
but
that
the
deceits
and
sleights
of
the
Divell
are
infinit
:
amongst
which
hee
hath
that
,
whereby
(
as
the
sacred
Scripture
testifieth
)
he
is
able
to
transforme
himselfe
into
an
Angell
of
Light
,
and
to
take
unto
himselfe
the
shapes
of
men
or
women
,
and
to
resemble
them
,
the
Righteous
God
permitting
and
suffering
him
;
the
which
thing
to
be
so
,
variable
experience
of
things
doth
testifie
.
Wherefore
it
shall
not
be
needfull
to
call
that
into
question
.
But
whether
he
may
have
carnall
company
with
men
and
women
,
but
especially
,
whether
hee
can
cause
women
to
be
conceived
with
childe
,
needeth
no
question
.
No
man
doth
deny
,
but
that
he
may
have
carnall
copulation
with
them
,
having
taken
the
shape
of
man
or
woman
:
For
,
S.
Augustine
testifieth
the
same
thing
,
saying
,
There
is
a
constant
report
,
taken
from
the
testimony
of
them
,
to
whom
these
things
hapened
,
that
there
be
certaine
Spirits
,
Divells
and
savage
people
,
which
sometimes
have
allured
women
,
and
have
had
their
pleasure
of
them
;
but
the
same
thing
is
not
only
approved
of
the
ancient
,
but
among
us
also
is
found
to
be
so
by
many
examples
.
In
a
few
yeeres
past
,
a
certaine
Harlot
,
having
her
body
lasciviously
abused
of
the
Divell
,
in
the
night
,
comming
in
the
shape
of
a
man
,
did
streight
way
fall
into
a
most
great
sicknesse
,
so
that
her
wombe
and
privity
were
quickly
consumed
with
a
consumption
or
rotting
Gangraena
,
so
that
when
no
medicine
could
represse
the
hellish
fury
of
the
disease
,
her
intralls
also
and
parts
about
her
secret
members
did
fall
out
of
her
body
.
There
was
also
a
certaine
Butchers
servant
,
which
making
a
journy
,
and
thinking
of
Lechery
,
had
a
Divell
to
meete
him
in
the
beautifull
shape
of
a
woman
,
with
whom
hee
lay
,
not
knowing
hee
had
any
company
with
a
Divell
;
but
by
and
by
,
his
privie
members
being
inflam'd
with
a
fiery
heat
,
were
exulcerated
with
a
speedy
putrefaction
and
rotting
.
And
indeed
,
God
,
who
is
alwaies
just
and
righteous
,
is
wont
to
permit
these
things
by
his
just
Iudgement
,
for
the
punishment
of
wickednesses
,
and
admonition
of
men
.
Cassianus
doth
deny
this
act
,
saying
,
that
it
is
an
impossible
thing
,
that
a
Spirituall
creature
should
have
carnall
copulation
with
men
and
women
,
neither
that
this
thing
ought
to
be
believed
:
because
,
if
the
act
goe
before
,
it
is
necessary
likewise
that
sometime
also
the
effect
should
follow
,
that
is
,
that
something
should
be
ingendred
,
which
thing
as
yet
may
not
be
evident
by
any
experience
.
Againe
,
if
this
act
were
possible
to
divells
and
spirits
,
he
saith
,
they
would
rather
be
mutually
turned
toward
themselves
,
than
to
be
commixed
with
men
or
women
.
Therefore
concerning
the
truth
of
the
matter
,
these
things
are
to
be
accounted
for
the
exceeding
subtilty
and
deceit
of
the
Divell
,
and
wicked
perswasion
of
men
,
so
farre
forth
that
we
doe
not
beleeve
,
that
either
the
divells
can
cause
women
to
be
with
childe
,
nor
on
the
other
side
,
that
divells
assuming
and
taking
unto
them
the
forme
and
shape
of
women
may
be
conceived
with
childe
by
men
.
For
that
never
any
man
was
borne
without
humane
seede
(
Iesus
Christ
our
onely
Lord
and
Saviour
,
the
onely
eternall
Sonne
of
the
onely
God
excepted
,
conceived
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
borne
of
the
Virgin
Mary
)
wee
affirme
as
a
most
true
thing
.
Wherefore
concerning
that
which
is
rehearsed
of
one
Merlin
,
we
entertaine
no
otherwise
than
a
Fable
and
a
Tale
agreeing
with
his
name
in
the
Germane
tongue
.
Hee
,
which
shall
desire
to
know
the
History
of
him
,
shall
finde
it
at
large
in
the
one
and
twentieth
Booke
of
Vincentius
,
named
Historiale
Speculum
,
the
thirtieth
Chapter
.
Truly
by
the
law
of
Nature
,
it
is
certaine
,
that
like
things
are
ingendered
of
their
like
,
therefore
a
man
could
not
be
borne
of
the
Divell
,
neither
have
wee
knowne
at
any
time
,
that
the
most
righteous
and
omnipotent
God
hath
permitted
so
much
unto
spirits
and
divels
,
or
granted
them
so
large
a
licence
,
as
that
they
should
be
able
to
ingender
and
procreate
children
by
men
and
Women
,
and
as
it
were
,
to
ordaine
and
constitute
their
divellish
issue
&
damnable
brood
in
man
created
after
the
similitude
of
God
.
But
if
a
Sorceresse
and
Witch
was
his
mother
,
shee
was
not
ashamed
to
gratifie
the
Divell
,
to
blab
abroad
so
great
and
monstrous
a
lie
to
pervert
the
mindes
of
many
with
this
false
opinion
.
She
might
have
her
body
abused
by
the
Divel
,
but
shee
could
not
conceive
a
man
by
him
.
If
hee
had
not
abused
her
body
lasciviously
,
notwithstanding
,
he
was
able
to
cause
her
wombe
to
swell
by
his
divellish
and
despightfull
practices
,
that
she
might
thinke
her selfe
to
be
conceived
with
childe
by
him
.
Also
so
long
time
being
ended
,
as
women
are
wont
to
beare
a
child
in
the
wombe
,
he
is
able
to
stirre
up
grievous
paines
and
pangs
in
the
wombe
,
and
also
craftily
to
put
a
child
underneath
her
,
brought
from
another
place
:
also
streight
way
to
dissolve
and
represse
those
tumours
and
swellings
stirred
and
raised
up
by
some
Windy
vapours
.
For
such
a
like
thing
is
manifest
in
the
experience
of
our
times
:
For
at
Constantia
(
a
Citty
in
Germany
)
a
certaine
beautifull
maid-servant
of
a
certaine
Citizens
,
named
Magdalen
,
being
deflowred
of
the
Divell
,
after
she
being
cast
into
prison
had
utterly
renounced
him
by
repentance
(
moved
by
the
counsell
of
devout
Ministers
of
the
Word
of
God
,
by
Divines
reasons
)
from
that
time
she
felt
so
great
torments
in
her
wombe
,
that
she
did
thinke
almost
that
every
houre
she
should
be
delivered
of
a
childe
.
But
the
helpe
of
Midwives
being
often
imployed
,
she
voided
iron
nailes
,
pieces
of
wood
,
broken
glasses
,
haires
,
towe
,
stones
,
bones
,
iron
,
and
innumerable
such
like
things
through
the
Matrix
,
all
which
things
verily
the
wicked
Spirit
had
subtilly
and
maliciously
conveyed
underneath
,
and
brought
in
.
The
same
Vincentius
citeth
some
other
Histories
serving
to
this
matter
and
question
,
in
the
twenty
sixt
and
twenty
seventh
Chapter
of
his
Booke
,
named
Naturale
Speculum
.
Namely
,
that
a
certaine
young-man
caught
a
woman
by
the
haire
of
the
head
bathing
her selfe
in
the
Sea
,
about
the
evening
,
whom
he
tooke
to
wife
,
after
he
had
brought
her
home
to
his
house
,
and
begot
a
sonne
by
her
.
But
she
not
speaking
a
word
at
all
hitherto
,
that
her
husband
compelled
her
to
speake
,
moved
by
instigation
of
others
,
which
said
she
was
a
spirit
,
making
a
shew
as
if
hee
would
murther
the
child
begotten
of
her
,
unlesse
shee
would
declare
her
of-spring
,
But
shee
having
uttered
forth
sorrowfull
things
,
to
have
vanished
away
,
and
also
to
have
drowned
this
childe
,
washing
himselfe
in
the
Sea
,
being
growne
to
ripenesse
of
age
,
and
that
hee
was
afterward
found
in
no
place
cast
out
to
the
shore
side
.
Therefore
that
hee
was
not
a
true
man
,
although
he
was
borne
and
brought
up
in
shape
of
a
true
man
.
Moreover
,
that
many
did
believe
,
that
this
spirit
,
which
,
by
a
false
apparition
did
seeme
to
be
a
woman
,
The
Divell
named
Succubus
.
to
be
a
divell
,
which
is
named
Succubus
.
It
is
not
unlike
to
this
,
which
hee
bringeth
forth
in
the
aforesaid
place
,
Namely
,
that
at
Colonia
Agrippina
,
many
Noble
men
sate
in
Councell
in
a
certaine
Palace
,
sometime
neere
the
shore
of
the
river
Rhenus
,
which
while
by
chance
they
did
looke
downe
into
the
water
,
did
see
a
certaine
souldier
carried
in
a
little
boat
,
a
Swanne
swimming
before
,
drawing
the
little
boat
with
a
silver
chaine
put
upon
his
neck
,
suddenly
to
leap
upon
the
shore
,
the
Swan
being
sent
away
with
the
little
boat
,
there
to
have
married
a
wife
,
and
to
have
begotten
many
children
of
her
.
And
some
yeeres
being
ended
,
the
empty
boat
swimming
backe
againe
,
and
the
Swanne
swimming
before
it
,
as
hee
did
before
time
,
that
the
same
souldier
did
returne
againe
into
the
same
boat
,
and
to
have
appeared
to
no
man
againe
,
and
that
his
children
lived
there
a
long
time
.
But
many
have
believed
that
he
was
a
Divel
,
whom
they
named
Incubus
,
who
dwelling
so
long
with
the
woman
,
and
so
many
yeeres
in
the
shape
of
a
man
,
having
used
such
great
coozenages
and
deceits
,
did
shew
forth
counterfeited
tumours
of
her
wombe
,
and
counterfeited
births
,
children
conveyed
underneath
,
taken
by
stealth
from
some
other
place
.
Whether
the
Divell
may
conceive
seed
of
men
,
and
by
the
same
seed
cast
forth
into
women
,
ingender
,
or
not
.
But
whereas
many
doe
labour
by
this
perswasion
,
and
contend
,
that
the
Divell
,
named
Succubus
,
may
be
able
to
conceive
seede
from
man
,
and
by
and
by
being
changed
into
a
Divell
,
named
Incubus
,
to
cast
forth
the
same
seede
into
the
wombe
of
a
woman
,
and
of
her
to
ingender
a
man
;
as
it
is
most
false
,
so
it
ought
to
deserve
no
credit
at
all
.
For
it
is
most
contrary
and
repugnant
both
to
Religion
,
and
also
to
Nature
:
For
if
this
were
possible
,
with
how
many
monsters
of
wilde
beasts
had
wee
seene
mankinde
,
so
long
space
of
time
to
have
beene
tormented
and
vexed
of
such
a
great
enemy
of
mankind
,
by
the
change
and
alteration
of
seeds
made
in
brute
beasts
,
men
and
women
.
Wherefore
Conciliator
in
his
Booke
de
Medicina
,
the
twenty
and
fifth
Difference
,
determineth
well
of
these
things
,
saying
,
Wee
must
know
,
that
the
testicles
or
stones
of
man
,
are
the
principall
parts
of
the
generative
or
begetting
vertues
,
but
not
the
sole
or
onely
parts
,
because
the
beginning
of
Generation
is
not
caused
by
them
alone
,
neither
are
they
alone
able
to
perfect
Generation
:
For
the
first
beginning
is
from
the
heart
,
by
reason
of
vitall
and
lively
faculty
and
vertue
reposed
and
laid
up
in
the
same
,
so
that
no
living
thing
can
be
ingendered
without
the
helpe
and
aid
of
the
power
and
vertue
of
it
:
For
at
last
the
vertue
and
faculty
of
the
testicles
,
doe
consist
by
vitall
vertue
,
and
naturall
heat
.
Wherefore
,
that
the
Divell
,
named
in
Latine
,
Succubus
,
may
be
able
to
conceive
with
men
,
and
being
changed
into
the
Divell
,
termed
Incubus
,
may
cast
forth
the
same
seede
conceived
into
women
,
and
beget
a
man
,
is
not
only
a
fabulous
thing
to
be
spoken
,
but
also
impious
,
wicked
,
and
odious
to
be
believed
.
But
whether
the
Divell
hath
power
to
steale
,
to
carry
,
from
one
place
to
another
,
to
convey
and
change
children
one
for
another
,
is
a
matter
that
needeth
no
great
enquiry
.
For
that
some
such
like
thing
may
be
brought
to
passe
some
time
,
wee
must
understand
;
but
that
it
is
not
done
by
his
owne
power
,
but
by
the
permission
of
the
most
just
and
omnipotent
God
for
the
sinnes
of
men
,
especially
when
wicked
Parents
,
having
no
religious
care
of
their
children
,
do
not
strengthen
and
fortifie
them
with
the
blessing
of
God
,
and
overwhelme
them
with
the
curse
of
the
Divell
.
Therefore
let
all
,
because
they
are
the
children
of
God
,
learne
to
bring
them
up
religiously
,
and
to
consecrate
them
to
God
,
and
not
to
object
them
to
the
maledictions
of
the
Divell
.

Booke

Of
the
divers
causes
of
Sterility
and
barrennesse
,
and
of
the
speciall
maladies
of
the
Matrix
,
and
also
of
the
divers
remedies
of
all
of
them
.
CHAP.
I.
Of
the
Sterilitie
of
men
and
women
,
also
of
the
cause
and
signes
of
the
same
.
WEe
say
,
that
sterility
or
barrennesse
,
of
which
wee
have
purposed
to
speak
at
this
present
,
is
not
onely
a
disability
and
unaptnesse
of
bringing
forth
children
in
women
,
contracted
and
caused
by
some
cause
that
may
be
corrected
and
remedied
:
but
in
men
also
of
ingendering
and
sending
forth
fruitfull
seede
.
Aristotle
attributeth
this
disability
and
impotency
principally
to
fat
men
and
women
,
because
of
the
evill
proportion
,
and
ill
disposition
of
the
generative
members
,
that
is
to
say
,
in
whom
the
seed
is
procured
and
derived
from
a
more
remote
place
,
and
so
vitall
spirit
inclosed
in
it
doth
vanish
away
sooner
by
that
delay
.
But
not
onely
that
habite
and
disposition
of
the
body
is
a
cause
,
but
there
are
many
other
causes
also
besides
of
this
difficulty
and
infirmitie
:
For
when
we
see
oftentimes
man
and
wife
joyned
together
,
not
to
ingender
and
beget
children
:
but
being
separated
both
of
them
to
procreate
children
:
and
on
the
contrary
part
,
that
those
,
which
being
coupled
together
,
doe
beget
children
,
are
not
fruitfull
when
they
are
separated
,
it
must
needes
be
that
without
doubt
there
is
some
hidden
cause
.
Where
wee
thinke
it
will
not
be
an
unprofitable
thing
to
declare
and
bring
forth
those
things
which
are
best
knowne
:
For
there
are
many
outward
and
inward
causes
,
which
doe
concurre
together
in
this
case
.
But
as
fertility
and
fruitfulnesse
hath
his
helpes
and
furtherances
by
many
outward
things
,
as
in
a
convenient
diet
,
in
an
accustomed
temperature
of
the
aire
,
by
bathes
warme
by
nature
,
such
as
are
the
Helvetian
and
Vallesian
bathes
,
with
the
waters
of
Embs
:
so
also
sterility
and
difficulty
of
ingendring
have
very
great
help
and
succour
by
them
,
whereby
they
are
caused
and
increased
,
as
by
an
unconvenient
diet
,
by
the
permutation
and
change
of
accustomed
aire
,
by
drinking
of
the
water
of
Ice
,
and
by
bathes
.
Further
,
barrennesse
may
be
judged
to
proceede
from
the
disposition
and
quality
of
the
generative
members
:
For
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
not
a
few
infirmities
and
grievances
doe
happen
to
them
,
by
reason
of
which
man
and
wife
are
not
onely
made
impotent
and
barren
,
but
are
unfit
to
dwell
together
;
husbands
with
their
wives
,
and
wives
with
their
husbands
.
In
which
place
the
strictnesse
and
narrownesse
of
the
mouth
of
the
Matrix
doth
very
much
disprofit
and
annoy
,
by
which
it
falleth
out
,
that
not
only
the
Termes
,
being
stopped
,
doe
let
and
hinder
generation
,
but
moreover
,
also
doe
breed
and
bring
forth
very
many
other
evills
.
Againe
,
when
the
secrets
themselves
are
too
wide
or
too
strait
,
and
therefore
are
not
convenient
,
neither
for
conception
nor
generation
.
Retention
and
staying
of
the
Termes
causeth
the
same
thing
,
which
doth
much
distemper
and
molest
the
Matrix
,
and
suffocateth
and
choketh
the
seede
cast
forth
into
the
wombe
through
abundance
of
evill
humours
.
Among
women
also
,
they
which
are
over
man-like
,
are
not
so
apt
for
generation
:
and
among
men
,
those
which
are
more
effeminate
and
woman-like
than
is
requisite
;
For
these
women
almost
universally
,
doe
want
the
issuing
forth
of
the
Termes
at
their
due
seasons
,
and
also
the
nourishing
humours
:
And
such
men
being
intemperatly
cold
and
moist
,
cannot
send
forth
seed
possessed
with
a
generative
vertue
.
Hitherto
pertaineth
both
the
weake
and
feeble
attractive
power
of
the
Matrix
,
and
also
the
sudden
alteration
of
the
same
.
For
the
attractive
and
expulsive
vertue
of
the
Matrix
,
either
too
strong
or
weake
,
doe
equally
cause
the
difficulty
of
ingendering
.
Likewise
the
maladies
of
the
Matrix
,
tumours
,
inflammations
,
ulcers
,
Apostemes
,
the
mouths
of
the
veines
,
named
,
Acetabula
,
being
broken
,
the
Termes
issuing
forth
immoderately
,
or
stopped
,
and
such
like
things
doe
afford
and
minister
great
occasion
to
the
same
difficulty
.
Many
also
say
,
the
veines
placed
behinde
the
eares
(
to
wit
which
give
way
to
the
spirits
,
which
the
braine
communicateth
and
imparteth
to
the
seed
)
being
cut
asunder
,
to
be
a
cause
to
the
same
difficulty
and
debility
of
ingendering
,
as
Hippocrates
admonisheth
.
They
affirme
,
that
the
incision
of
the
bladder
doth
bring
the
same
,
which
of
it selfe
it
is
deadly
:
There
are
also
many
things
,
which
being
taken
,
doe
properly
procure
sterility
and
barrennesse
,
as
Camphire
,
Hemlocke
,
and
other
herbes
and
roots
like
unto
these
,
and
all
things
which
offend
and
hurt
the
braine
,
kidnies
,
and
testicles
,
being
the
principall
members
of
generations
.
Hitherto
also
belongeth
many
other
things
,
Externall
causes
.
as
over
much
repletion
,
emptinesse
,
immoderate
exercises
,
intemperate
heat
,
deadly
cold
:
Likewise
Theophrastus
doth
attribute
a
certaine
peculiar
force
to
some
waters
,
to
cause
sterility
.
For
the
most
part
,
diversity
of
complexions
hath
the
superiority
among
the
causes
,
when
man
and
wife
doe
want
the
due
temperature
of
the
qualities
.
But
where
they
shall
be
mixed
,
yea
,
but
little
,
they
shall
be
able
to
ingender
more
easily
:
Old
age
also
of
it selfe
in
men
and
women
,
doth
hinder
generation
through
the
defect
of
humours
,
although
it
be
found
by
experience
,
as
yet
,
that
many
men
being
threescore
and
ten
,
or
foure-score
yeeres
of
age
,
have
begotten
children
.
Lastly
,
there
is
also
a
great
cause
of
sterility
,
which
happeneth
by
the
witchcraft
of
Witches
.
Let
it
suffice
to
have
spoken
these
things
concerning
the
evident
and
knowne
causes
of
barrennesse
.
Signes
of
barrennesse
.
Moreover
,
there
are
many
signes
whereby
the
difficulty
of
conceiving
or
begetting
children
may
be
noted
and
observed
.
The
first
are
to
be
taken
from
the
constitution
and
habit
of
the
privie
members
,
as
if
they
be
diseased
with
any
corruption
or
defect
,
or
be
too
large
,
or
too
strait
and
narrow
,
they
are
knowne
not
to
be
apt
and
fit
for
generation
.
The
seed
also
is
unfit
,
if
it
be
too
hot
,
or
too
cold
,
which
thing
they
say
may
not
onely
be
observed
by
the
colour
of
the
urine
,
but
also
of
the
substance
of
the
same
.
Also
many
judge
of
sterility
and
fruitfulnesse
by
the
habite
and
colour
of
the
body
,
that
the
women
which
are
of
a
pale
colour
are
supposed
to
be
also
more
moist
than
others
.
If
they
be
more
moist
,
they
are
not
so
apt
to
retaine
and
cheerish
the
seed
.
This
experiment
following
is
put
in
practice
of
some
:
When
they
goe
about
to
make
a
triall
concerning
the
unfruitfulnesse
or
fertility
of
any
one
,
they
poure
the
urine
of
the
party
on
Barley
.
If
this
sprout
out
within
tenne
daies
,
they
acknowledge
it
for
a
signe
of
fruitfulnesse
:
if
it
doe
not
,
they
acknowledge
it
for
a
certaine
argument
of
sterility
and
barrennesse
:
But
others
pouring
the
urine
upon
Huskes
,
or
Bran
,
if
they
see
wormes
to
be
bred
and
ingendered
in
it
,
doe
observe
a
signe
of
barrennesse
from
that
.
Hippocrates
doth
counsell
us
to
search
out
this
thing
by
fumes
made
underneath
,
so
that
if
a
fume
being
used
underneath
,
be
perceived
above
by
smelling
,
the
woman
being
close
covered
about
the
lower
parts
,
then
,
hee
saith
,
it
may
be
thought
to
be
a
signe
of
fruitfulnesse
,
because
the
secret
members
are
not
strict
and
narrow
:
If
it
be
not
perceived
by
smelling
at
the
nostrills
,
he
saith
,
it
is
a
very
certaine
note
and
signe
of
the
strictnesse
and
narrownesse
of
the
Matrix
,
and
so
consequently
of
barrennesse
.
Some
would
have
the
same
thing
to
be
found
out
by
annoynting
the
corners
of
the
eyes
with
liquid
oyntments
,
so
that
if
the
oyntments
of
some
kindes
of
colours
being
laid
upon
the
corners
of
the
eyes
doe
not
change
the
colour
of
the
spittle
,
then
it
should
be
a
signe
of
constipation
and
stopping
,
and
therefore
of
barrennesse
also
,
because
the
eyes
are
members
communicating
with
the
seede
,
because
they
quickely
sinke
downe
and
waxe
hollow
when
it
is
immoderatly
sent
forth
and
dispersed
.
Some
old
women
likewise
have
their
signes
by
which
they
observe
whether
the
greater
sterility
or
unfruitfulnesse
be
in
the
husband
,
or
in
his
wife
;
for
they
sprinkle
two
hand
fulls
of
Sage
,
laid
severally
by
themselves
,
with
urine
,
one
of
them
with
the
urine
of
the
man
,
and
the
other
with
the
urine
of
the
woman
,
and
they
say
,
that
the
handfull
which
shall
wither
first
,
is
a
testimony
of
barrennesse
of
the
party
,
with
whose
urine
it
was
sprinkled
and
watered
.
They
receive
the
same
experiments
also
by
Beanes
and
Barley
,
that
whose
part
doth
sprout
first
,
in
him
or
her
,
they
thinke
there
is
most
fertility
and
fruitfulnesse
.
Further
,
wee
must
consider
here
also
,
that
fruitfull
women
,
and
such
as
are
apt
to
ingender
children
,
doe
sooner
seeme
to
be
old
in
the
outward
habite
of
body
,
than
those
which
are
barren
and
fruitlesse
,
also
they
waxe
leane
sooner
,
and
become
weake
,
notwithstanding
they
live
more
healthfull
in
their
old
age
,
than
they
which
never
ingendered
any
children
,
because
in
these
the
abundance
of
divers
humours
retained
and
stopped
,
hath
bred
some
worse
thing
,
and
hath
given
greater
occasion
of
disturbing
the
temperate
health
of
the
body
.

II.
Of
the
cure
and
remedy
of
sterilitie
,
and

,
proceeding
from
Phlegme

THe
causes

of
the
difficulty

hardnesse
of

knowne
;
it
followeth
now
to
speake
of
the
cure
of
them
.
And
first
of
all
truely
,
if
that
difficulty
shall
be
bred
and
caused
of
moist
and
cold
Phlegme
,
before
all
things
be
used
,
that
superfluous
matter
shall
be
prepared

,
taking
one
ounce
of
each
of

,
and
so

aromaticall
and
sweete
,
to
the
sense
of
smelling
,
with
Cinamome
and
Muske
,
as
is
declared
before
.
Three
draughts
of

.
Afterward
the
matter
being
sufficiently
prepared
,
and
digested
by
these
syrups
to
be
purged
out
of
the
body
,
If
the
woman
shall
be
of
a
strong
Nature
or
Complexion
,
which
is
affected
with
this
difficulty
of
conceiving
,
she
may
also
take
these
pills
:
Take
Pilulae

one
scruple
,
Diagridium
sixe

eleven
Pills

But
if
shee
cannot
brooke
the
use
of
Pills
,
let

use
this
potion
in
steed
of
the
Pills
Take
Diacassia
halfe
an
ounce
,
Electuarie
of
Diaphaenicon
,
Electuarium
Indum

temper

Let

,
and
hony

and
when
they
have
been

houres
,
let
them
be
strained
and
make
a
drinke
of
them
,
being
mixed
with
the
aforesaid
Electuaries
.
But
if
a
dry
Electuary
shall
better
please
the
party
,
let
three
dry
morsells
be
made
up
in
this
manner
.
Take
Electuarie
Diaphaenicon
,
Electu
.
Indum
,
Diacassia
,
of
each
two
drams
,
white
Sugar
,
so
much
as
sufficeth
,
and
make
three
morsells
gilded
.
If
this
shall
not
be
so
well
liked
,
you
may
make
this
Confection
in
little
roundells
or
Trocoisks
:
take
red
Roses
,
Cinamome
,
Ginger
,
of
each
one
dram
,
Sanders
,
white
and
red
,
of
each
halfe
a
dram
,
Hermodactyli
,
Esula
,
of
each
one
dram
and
a
halfe
,
Diagridium
,
Turbit
,
of
each
two
drams
,
Mastick
one
scruple
,
white
Sugar
halfe
a
pound
.
Dissolve
all
these
things
with
the
juyce
or
water
of
Mugwoort
,
and
after
they
have
beene
infused
in
it
some
houres
,
let
them
be
strained
,
and
let
a
confection
be
made
in
little
rundells
,
or
Trochiskes
.
Let
the
Dosis
or
quantity
to
be
taken
,
bee
halfe
an
ounce
,
or
five
drams
:
Or
if
you
please
you
shall
take
of
the
powders
,
and
shall
mingle
them
with
white
Sugar
in
equall
weight
,
and
shall
make
a
mixture
of
them
(
properly
named
Tragaea
)
of
which
you
shall
give
one
dram
and
a
halfe
in
broth
of
Cicers
very
warme
.
Some
doe
give
the
leaves
of
Sena
beaten
to
powder
two
drams
and
a
halfe
after
this
manner
.
But
these
purging
medicines
are
to
be
tempered
by
the
counsell
of
skilfull
Physitians
,
according
to
the
qualities
of
those
things
,
for
which
they
are
given
.
Now
such
kind
of
matter
being
sufficiently
purged
,
the
next
thing
shall
be
,
that
the
use
of
bathes
doe
follow
,
and
so
often
as
the
woman
shall
come
out
of
them
,
let
her
take
one
dram
of
common
Triackle
or
Mithridate
,
in
water
of
Mugwoort
;
Or
if
it
like
you
better
,
let
her
take
a
little
of
this
confection
following
:
Take
of
the
Species
or
kindes
of
Triphera
magna
without
Opium
,
Diapliris
,
Diambra
,
Diamuscus
,
Diasatyrion
,
of
each
halfe
a
dram
;
scraping
of
Ivory
,
seed
of
the
herbe
of
Mercury
,
of
each
two
scruples
;
the
Runnet
of
a
Hare
and
Matrix
of
it
,
of
each
halfe
a
dram
,
Sisely
halfe
a
scruple
,
white
Sugar
halfe
a
pound
.
Let
them
be
dissolved
with
Bawme-water
,
and
let
there
be
added
to
them
being
orderly
boiled
;
Conserve
of
the
rinds
of
the
Citron
one
ounce
,
and
conserve
of
Rosemary-flowers
halfe
an
ounce
;
Let
there
be
a
confection
made
somewhat
thicke
.
But
let
her
chiefest
care
be
while
shee
doth
use
bathes
,
that
she
use
a
certaine
&
convenient
diet
,
and
moderate
feeding
,
which
alwaies
must
be
prescribed
and
appointed
of
a
skilfull
Physitian
.
But
if
the
woman
cannot
have
such
naturall
bathes
,
a
bathe
may
be
prepared
for
her
of
these
herbes
following
sodden
in
water
.
Take
Mugwoort
,
Betony
,
Chamaepitis
,
Germander
,
Celandine
,
Clary
,
Bay-leaves
,
Mallowes
,
Feverfew
,
Bawme
,
wilde
Penniroyall
,
Origanum
,
Ozimus
,
Penniroyall
,
Rose-mary
,
Savine
,
Melilote
,
St.
Iohns-worth
,
Hissop
,
Cammomel
,
of
each
one
handfull
;
Carui
,
Cummin
,
Siler
montanum
,
Anise
,
Dill
,
of
each
three
ounces
,
Linseed
Fenugrec
,
of
each
three
ounces
,
roots
of
Cumfrey
,
Valerian
,
Stone-parsley
,
of
each
one
pound
,
Brimstone
one
ounce
and
a
halfe
,
Salt
two
ounces
,
Allome
one
ounce
;
Let
all
of
them
being
mingled
together
,
be
put
in
a
bag
,
and
let
them
boile
in
water
.
And
alwaies
every
fourth
day
this
bathe
must
be
renewed
againe
.
As
often
as
shee
shall
leave
bathing
,
let
her
take
of
comon
Triacle
,
or
Mithridate
,
as
is
spoken
before
;
let
her
lie
downe
in
her
bed
,
and
let
her
provoke
sweating
,
if
she
can
by
any
meanes
:
Or
let
her
use
the
confection
before
described
,
morning
and
evening
in
the
same
manner
.
But
when
it
shall
not
seeme
commodious
to
use
this
bathe
,
some
of
the
aforesaid
herbes
may
be
gathered
,
and
fomentations
may
be
made
of
them
.
But
when
all
these
things
shall
not
sufficiently
purge
the
Phlegmaticke
humour
,
it
shall
be
profitable
to
minister
a
pessarie
to
her
every
night
prepared
in
this
manner
:
and
let
her
use
it
untill
she
shall
feele
her selfe
freed
from
those
superfluous
Phlegmatick
humours
.
Take
Mugwoort
,
Savine
,
Marjoram
,
Dittany
,
Wormewood
,
of
each
halfe
a
dram
;
Anise
,
Rue
,
the
rind
or
outside
of
Frankincense
,
of
each
one
scruple
,
the
pulpe
of
Colocynthis
two
scruples
.
Make
a
powder
of
them
,
and
let
it
be
tempered
and
incorporated
with
the
juyce
of
the
herbe
Mercurie
or
Germander
,
and
make
a
Pessarie
.
Further
,
among
all
the
medicines
which
bind
the
Matrix
,
wee
thinke
that
nothing
can
be
better
approved
than
this
following
.
Take
Acacia
,
Balaustium
,
or
the
flowers
of
Pomgranates
,
Akorne
cups
,
the
drosse
or
scales
of
Iron
,
Mints
,
Lillies
,
barke
of
the
Mastick-tree
or
Lentiscus
,
the
outside
of
Olibanum
,
Anthera
,
Sumach
,
Tartar
,
Spike
,
of
each
halfe
a
dram
;
mingle
them
,
and
make
a
powder
of
them
,
of
which
,
with
the
juyce
of
Sorrell
,
or
Fullers
teasell
,
named
in
latine
Virga
Pastoris
,
or
with
the
juyce
of
Milfoile
or
Yarrow
,
let
Pessaries
be
made
.
But
because
sometimes
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
by
reason
of
cold
and
moist
Phlegme
,
How
the
ill-savour
of
the
Matrix
is
to
be
cured
.
the
Matrix
cannot
onely
retaine
and
hold
the
seed
,
but
also
doth
offend
with
a
noisome
stinch
and
savour
,
therefore
when
this
chanceth
,
we
must
use
this
medicine
following
.
Take
Galls
,
Nutmegs
,
of
each
three
drams

WHen

a

BVt
because
sterility
and
barrennesse
is
not
only
ingendered
of
Phlegme
and
Choler
abounding
,
but
is
also
bred
of
overmuch
blood
,
and
sometimes
also
other
superfluous
or
corrupt
humours
are
mixed
with
the
same
;
we
must
first
see
by
the
signes
of
Vrine
,
which
of
those
humours
doe
abound
.
If
you
shall
finde
that
blood
alone
is
abounding
,
then
such
a
diet
shall
be
appointed
,
which
may
diminish
blood
,
and
minister
small
nourishment
unto
to
it
.
If
you
shall
perceive
cholericke
humour
to
be
in
it
,
you
shall
order
your
diet
to
a
cold
temperature
.
If
Phlegme
shall
abound
in

you
shall
direct
the
temperature
of
your

to
drinesse

For
it
shall
come
to
passe
,
that
that
superfluitie
,
of
what
humour
soever
it
shall
be
,
may
by
little
and
little
be
prepared
for
a
convenient
purgation
.
But
because
the
meanes
is
not
commonly
knowne
to
purge
blood
from
those
aforesaid
humours
,
when
it

it
is
to

we

which
pertaineth

.
Therefore
when
it
is
knowne
and
evident
that
abundance
of
blood
doth
hinder
conception
in
women
,
let
first
the
veines
of

Which
done

shall
be
prepared
of
such
herbs

doe
incline

Of
the
Cure
and
Remedy
of
sterility
proceeding
of
over-much
heate
,
drinesse
,
moisture
and
coldnesse
.
AMong
other
impediments
and
hinderances
of
conceiving
and
ingendring
,
immoderate
siccity
and
drinesse
of
the
Matrix
,
is
not
the
least
cause
.
And
that
cause
being
found
out
,
the
use
of
all
things
is
to
be
directed
to
a
moist
temperature
;
yet
so
as
the
body
be
not
weakened
by
these
things
,
but
strengthened
.
Therefore
it
shall
be
very
profitable
to
use
these
little
Cakes
often
.
Take
white
Sugar
,
one
pound
and
a
halfe
,
Amylum
three
ounces
.
Let
the
Sugar
be
dissolved
with
Rose-water
,
and
the
Amylum
mingled
with
it
,
let
a
decoction
be
made
with
three
ounces
of
sweet
Almonds
,
and
a
little
oile
of
sweete
Almonds
,
and
little
Morsells
.
It
is
also
exceeding
profitable
to
drinke
Goats-milke
newly
milked
with
Hony
or
Sugar
mixed
with
it
.
Likewise
this
bathe
is
wonderfull
convenient
.
Take
Heads
of
Weathers
,
and
let
them
be
sodden
in
a
Kettle
full
of
water
,
so
long
till
the
flesh
be
loosed
and
part
quite
from
the
bones
,
which
being
done
,
Take
moreover
the
leaves
of
Vine
,
named
,
Vitis
Muscatella
,
of
the
Willow
tree
,

,
roots
of
Valerian
one
pound
and

:
let
all
things
be
mingled
together
,
and
let
a
bathe
be
made
of
them
being
sufficiently
boiled
.
And
it
may
be
prepared
so
,
that
either
the
woman
may
sit
in
it
,
or
make
Fomentations
of
it
.
But
after
the
bathe
or
Fomentations
,
she
may
take
a
little
morsell
of
this
confection
the
next
houres
after
meate
.
Take
of
the
Species
of
Diarhodon

,
two

water
of
Buglosse
,
conserve
of
Buglosse
,
Borrage
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
mixe
them
,
and
let
a
gilded
confection
be
made
.
But
especially
it
shall
be
needfull
to
moisten
the
Matrix
,
which
shall
partly
be
done
by
Fomentations
used
underneath
in
a
chaire
inclosed
and
covered
round
about
,
and
partly
by
Pessaries
being
thus
prepared
.
Take
Marrow
of
the
leg
of
a
Cow
,
Grease
of
a
Henne
,
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
,
Styrax
liquida
two
drams
.
Also
foure
ounces
of
oile
of
sweete
Almonds
may
be
added
to
them
,
and
let
Pessaries
be
made
with
cleane
wooll
.
But
if
conception
be
hindered
through
intemperate
hear
,
that
either
the
body
is
of
an
over-hot
complexion
,
or
the
secret
parts
are
molested
with
intemperate
heat
:
First
of
all
,
this
heat
shall
be
diminished
by
a
convenient
launcing
and
opening
of
the
veines
,
the
Ankle-veines
in
the
left
foot
,
and
the
Liver-veines
in
the
right
foot
.
Afterward
purgations
must
be
used
,
so
much
as
reason
shall
require
;
but
before
them
this
Potion
shall
be
taken
for
a
preparative
of
the
hot
humours
:
Take

in
running-water
,
let
one
halfe
be
consumed
and
wasted
,
let
them
be
strained
,
and
to
the
straining

let
there
be
added
a
sufficient

of
white
Sugar
,
and
let
it
be
made
aromaticall
with
Cinamome
,
scrapings
of
Ivory
,
red
Corall
prepared
,
red
Sanders
,
of
each
halfe
a

:
Take
three
ounces
of
the
aforesaid
decoction
,
and
let
them
be
tempered
with
two
scruples
of
Choyse
Rhubarb
powdred
,
with
syrup
of
Epithymie
halfe
an
ounce
,
Cassia
newly

and
a
halfe
,
or

:
Or

,
Take

Electuary

,
three

Temper

of
each
one
ounce
;
mixe
them
,
and
make
one
draught
.
Pessaries
also
may
be
prepared
,
and
be
applied
underneath
,
compounded
with
the
juyce
of
Mandrake
,
Mastick
,
Myrrh
,
Camphire
,
and
Gum
Arabick
.
But
if
the
heat
do
not
exceed
,
but
shall
be
more
temperate
,
then
that
which
aboundeth
,
shall
be
diminished
with
Plaisters
laid
upon
the
Navell
and
secret
members
,
as
with
Vnguentum
Santalinum
,
decocted
in
a
liquid
and
thick
forme
.
In
few
words
,
wee
may
proceed
in
the
same
order
as
wee
have
prescribed
concerning
choler
and
blood
.
But
if
coldnesse
and
moistnesse
shall
molest
and
vexe
the
secret
parts
over-much
:
First
the
superfluity
of
them
shall
be
mollified
and
prepared
for
purgation
,
by
remedies
declining
from
them
to
heat
and
drinesse

CHAP.
VII
.
Of
certaine
generall
Precepts
serving
for
the
curing
of
the
barrennesse
of
men
and
women
.
A
Great
part
of
the
Cure
of
the
barrennesse
of
men
and
women
,
consisteth
in
the
use
of
exeternall
things
:
which
by
our
advice
must
be
moderate
,
that
the
body
doe
not
become
grosse
and
fat
,
because
fatnesse
doth
very
much
hinder
secundity
and
fruitfulnesse
.
Also
extreme
leanesse
cannot
be
without
fault
in
this
case
.
Wherefore
in
both
these
,
they
must
use
temperate
nourishments
,
which
have
not
the
Nature
to
inflate
and
to
breed
windy
matter
in
the
body
.
They
must
use
Wine
but
little
,
and
sparing
and
moderate
meate
.
But
principally
,
let
women
observe
and
consider
the
complexion
and
state
of
the
Matrix
,
and
let
them
warily
marke
their
Termes
,
lest
in
the
time
when
they
issue
forth
,
or
when
they
are
cleared
from
them
,
they
use
an
inconvenient
diet
,
but
that
rather
they
use
most
especially
such
things
which
are
knowne
to
have
an
expulsive
vertue
and
force
to
expell
out
of
the
body
:
such
as
are
parsley
,
Stone-parsley
,
Fennel
,
the
herbe
which
the
Germans
call
commonly
Pimpinella
,
with
the
like
herbes
and
roots
of
the
same
nature
and
quality
.
But
that
every
one
may
be
instructed
concerning
every
case
,
wee
will
give
an
Antidote
and
Medicine
contrary
to
the
complexion
of
every
corrupted
Matrix
.
And
verily
first
of
all
,
when
the
Matrix
shall
be
distempered
,
and
troubled
with
immoderate
coldnesse
,
there
is
caused
a
stopping
of
the
Flowers
,
bred
and
ingendred
by
reason
of
an
evill
diet
observed
in
meat
and
drinke
,
whereby
continuall
paines
are
felt
about
the
loynes
,
kidnies
,
secrets
along
the
backe
,
and
other
members
of
the
body
,
and
ever
and
anon
horrible
cold
doth
vex
and
molest
them
.
When
things
are
come
to
this
passe
,
the
use
of
those
things
is
profitable
,
whatsoever
are
of
a
hot
Nature
,
specially
hot
baths
abounding
with
Brimstone
,
such
as
are
the
bathes
of
the
Helvetians
or
Swissers
,
especially
named
the
bathes
of
Badena
(
a
City
in
Helvetia
in
Germany
.
)
But
it
shall
be
very
profitable
to
use
this
syrup
or
potion
for
a
preparative
of
the
mattet
to
be
purged
.
Take
of
the
syrup
of
Mugwoort
,
on
ounce
,
Oxymel
compound
,
halfe
an
ounce
,
waters
of
Mugwoort
and
Bawme
,
of
each
one
ounce
.
By
mixing
them
together
,
make
one
draught
:
But
this
drinke
following
must
be
used
for
a
purgation
.
Take
Benedicta
Laxativa
,
Cassia
newly
extracted
,
of
each
three
drams
,
water
of
Penny-royall
,
and
Mugwoort
one
ounce
and
a
halfe
,
mingle
them
,
and
let
one
draught
be
made
.
Also
the
confection
of
Diacastoreum
is
approved
for
this
use
.
Likewise
all
their
meats
are
to
be
seasoned
with
these
spices
,
which
have
the
Nature
to
heat
,
as
with
Peper
,
Ginger
,
and
such
like
.
To
be
short
,
they
must
proceed
in
the
same
order
as
wee
have
taught
before
in
curing
sterility
comming
from
a
phlegmaticke
humour
.
Further
,
if
the
Matrix
shall
be
grieved
with
intemperate
heat
and
drinesse
,
the
Termes
will
issue
forth
often
,
but
so
sharpe
,
that
often
times
the
secret
parts
are
diseased
and
exulcerated
.
In
this
case
the
diet
,
medicines
,
and
use
of
all
outward
things
is
to
be
reduced
,
and
brought
to
a
cold
and
moist
temperature
,
as
it
is
in
like
manner
declared
before
,
in
the
Cure
of
barrennesse
proceeding
from
superfluity
of
choler
.
But
because
oftentimes
conception
is
hindred
of
wind
inclosed
within
the
body
,
they
must
use
meate
and
drinke
,
which
doth
not
puffe
up
and
breed
wind
in
the
body
,
but
such
as
doth
dissipate
and
disperse
the
same
,
and
proceed
in
the
same
order
,
as
we
have
taught
before
in
curing
the
false
windy
conception
,
named
Mola
.
And
let
these
things
be
sufficiently
spoken
,
concerning
those
things
which
rectifie
and
remedy
barrennesse
.
Now
in
this
discourse
those
things
are
not
to
be
omitted

of
frutfulnesse
.
which
further
and
cause
fecundity
and
fruitfulnesse
.
In
this
behalfe
many
excellent
profitable
things
are
delivered
of
the
ancient
and
latter
Physicians
,
of
which
those
which
are
chiefest
,
we
have
thought
it
a
profitable
thing
to
gather
together
,
and
to
publish
abroad
to
the
profit
and
commodity
of
many
.
Suffumigation
.
These
Fumes
first
made
upon
the
coales
,
and
directed
to
the
Matrix
doe
please
very
many
.
Take
Cypresse-nuts
,
Nutmegge
,
Masticke
,
Frankincense
,
Ladanum
,
Myrrh
,
Galbanum
,
Bdellium
,
Bay-berries
of
each
one
dram
,
Styrax-calamita
,
Styrax
liquida
of
each
two
scruples
,
Cloves
,
Carui
,
of
each
halfe
a
dram
,
Amber
two
graines
,
Saffron
one
scruple
,
Muske
five
graines
.
Let
all
these
things
be
mingled
together
with
oile
of
odoriferous
Spike
,
and
let
Trochiskes
be
made
of
them
,
with
the
which
let
the
woman
in
the
morning
,
being
fasting
,
and
in
the
evening
,
about
to
goe
to
bed
,
receive
a
fume
underneath
.
Also
it
will
be
profitable
,
to
annoint
the
privie
parts
with
this
unguentum
following
:
An
Vnguent
.
Take
Styrax
Calamita
one
dramme
,
Saffron
,
Masticke
,
Ladanum
,
Myrrh
,
of
each
one
dram
,
Temper
them
with
oyle
of
Spike
and
Roses
and
white
Waxe
so
much
as
may
suffice
,
and
a
Liniment
be
made
:
Likewise
the
braines
rosted
of
Hares
will
do
good
in
this
case
.
But
some
do
use
the
grease
of
Duckes
,
Geese
,
Hennes
,
Harts
,
and
the
like
,
to
which
they
doe
mixe
the
sorts
of
simples
before
prescribed
,
and
make
Trochiskes
convenient
to
make
a
Suffumigation
.
Likewise
you
may
use
these
fumes
following
:
Suffumigation
.
Take
Pure
Ladanum
one
ounce
,
Styrax
Calamita
,
Olibanum
,
of
each
one
dram
;
Lignum
Aloes
,
dry
Savine
,
of
each
one
dram
and
a
halfe
;
Amber
three
graines
,
Muske
six
graines
;
Let
all
these
things
be
mixed
and
beaten
to
powder
,
and
let
Trochisks
be
made
with
a
hot
Pestle
,
of
which
being
cast
upon
the
coales
,
let
a
fume
be
made
underneath
thorow
a
Tunnell
:
Likewise
Pessaries
may
be
made
of
the
Masse
or
Lumpe
of
them
;
Or
otherwise
,
Take
Ladanum
one
dram
,
Styrax
Calamita
,
halfe
an
ounce
,
Cloves
,
Lignum
Aloes
,
red
Roses
,
of
each
two
drams
,
Amber
halfe
a
scruple
,
Muske
sixe
graines
;
let
all
these
things
be
pounded
,
and
let
Trochiskes
be
made
of
them
in
the
manner
aforesaid
.
Some
of
these
also
may
be
dissolved
with
Rose-water
,
and
the
mouth
of
the
Matrix
may
be
washed
with
it
.
Of
these
also
Pessaries
may
be
prepared
.
Here
is
also
another
thing
very
profitable
:
Take
red
Roses
halfe
an
ounce
,
Frankincense
,
Masticke
Myrrh
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
Bole-Armeniacke
,

,
of
each
two
drams
,
Styrax
Calamita
halfe
an
ounce
,
Ladanum
halfe
an
ounce
,
Amber
,
Muske
,
Lignum
Aloes
,
Cloves
,
Artificiall
Balsamum
,
Spick-Nard
,
of
each
halfe
a
scruple
.
Those
things
that
are
to
be
powdred
,
let
them
be
beaten
to
powder
,
and
let
Trochiskes
be
made
in
the
aforesaid
manner
,
and
let
a
Suffumigation
be
made
thorow
a
Tunnell
with
one
dram
of
it
.
It
hath
beene
received
for
a
truth
of
some
acient
Writers
,
that
women
,
which
did
often
eate
the
roots
of
Aristolochia
with
rosted
Veale
,
should
almost
certainely
conceive
malechidren
.
Pessaries
.
But
many
of
the
later
Physicians
doe
counsell
to
apply
these
Pessaries
underneath
,
the
seventh
day
after
the
issuing
forth
of
the
Flowers
for
to
rectifie
conception
.
Take
of
the
root
of
Gentian
,
Saffron
,
Myrtles
,
Aloes
,
of
each
two
drams
;
Line-seede
Oyle
,
so
much
as
sufficeth
.
And
let
a
Pessarie
be
made
with
them
,
which
they
say
,
will
cause
Conception
within
a
few
daies
after
it
hath
beene
used
.
But
Galen
counselleth
to
drinke
Castoreum
which
is
new
,
and
any
kind
of
Peper
taken
the
weight
of
twelve
Barley
cornes
in
Malmesey
,
being
mixed
with
the
juyce
of
Penny-royall
.
The
same
Galen
reporteth
,
that
the
Matrix
of
a
Hare
being
dryed
and
beaten
to
powder
,
taken
in
Malmesey
to
be
approved
of
some
:
But
it
is
certaine
,
that
the
Fumes
or
Suffumigations
before
prescribed
,
to
be
most
approved
of
many
later
Physicians
:
Also
while
wee
make
mention
of
these
things
,
wee
desire
that
all
men
should
know
,
that
wee
have
nothing
to
doe
with
the
Sorceries
and
divellish
Arts
of
some
old
Witches
,
concerning
this
matter
.
But
let
it
suffice
to
have
spoken
hitherto
of
those
things
,
by
which
sterility
may
be
averted
,
and
fruitfulnesse
furthered
.
It
remaineth
also
to
speake
a
few
words
of
those
things
which
are
to
be
ministred
inwardly
.
Inward
helps
of
fruitfulnesse
.
For
because
the
fruitfulnesse
of
man
and
wife
may
be
hindred
very
much
for
want
of
desire
to
be
acquainted
with
Venus
,
and
by
impotency
and
disability
of
ingendring
and
effecting
Conception
,
and
also
by
infirmity
of
the
seeds
,
caused
either
by
the
defect
of
Nature
,
or
by
the
inchantments
of
evill
arts
:
Wee
will
declare
how
all
these
things
are
to
be
amended
in
the
prescript
formes
of
these
medicines
following
:
But

evening
with
Malmesey
.
An
Electuary
.
Also
an
Electuary
very
much
approved

is
very
profitable
for
men
and

CHAP.
VIII
.
Of
the
Suffocation
and
choking
of
the
Matrix
,
and
of
the
causes
and
cure
of
the
same
.
IT
remaineth
also
to
speak
a
few
things
hereafter
concerning
the
most
especiall
diseases
of
the
Matrix
,
which
have
greatest
force
to
procure
and
cause
sterility
,
and
also
to
hinder
conception
and
generation
,
such
as
are
principally
the
Suffocation
and
Precipitation
or
falling
downe
of
the
Matrix
,
the
immoderate
issuing
of
the
Termes
,
and
the
stopping
of
the
same
:
But
we
will
speake
first
of
the
first
.
What
the
suffocation
of
the
Matrix
is
.
Wee
say
,
that
the
Suffocation
of
the
Matrix
is
not
naturall
,
but
that
it
is
a
forced
and
constrained
ascending
and
rising
up
of
the
Matrix
,
or
Mother
towards
Diaphragma
,
or
the
Midriffe
,
whereby
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
the
passages
of
the
aire
are
stopped
,
the
Lungs
and
Arteries
of
the
heart
being
pressed
and
thrust
together
,
and
the
Lungs
is
prohibited
and
barred
from
amplifying
and
inlarging
it selfe
as
it
should
;
which
passion
proceedeth
from
windy
and
divers
vapors
,
arising
from
corrupt
matter
.
And
by
this
sicknesse
,
the
breathing
is
hindred
,
the
braine
is
molested
,
the
Heart
is
restrained
of
his
free
liberty
,
the
Lungs
is
crowded
together
,
the
senses
and
motions
doe
cease
,
the
Spirits
are
intercepted
,
the
members
of
the
body
doe
deny
to
doe
their
office
,
whereby
it
falleth
out
,
that
faintings
of
the
faculties
of
life
doe
happen
,
sudden
swoonings
doe
overwhelme
the
diseased
,
and
sometime
doe
deprive
them
of
life
,
the
Heart
being
suffocated
;
for
which
effect
it
is
supposed
,
that
it
is
therefore
called
in
Latine
,
Suffocatio
.
The
Causes
.
We
cannot
say
,
that
there
are
any
other
causes
of
this
Malady
,
but
the
stopping
of
the
Termes
,
contrary
to
the
course
of
Nature
,
or
corrupted
seede
,
or
else
other
depraved
and
evill
humours
inclosed
in
the
Matrix
,
being
dissolved
into
winds
&
vapors
,
and
so
forcing
the
Matrix
to
be
heaved
and
lifted
upward
.
The
signes
of
this
disease
are
two-fold
,
The
Signes
.
one
of
the
sickenesse
present
,
by
the
fit
which
is
present
,
the
other
of
the
disease
to
come
,
taken
from
the
tokens
of
the
fit
to
come
.
But
the
tokens
of
the
present
sickenesse
,
taken
by
the
Present
fit
,
are
these
signes
:
The
women
doe
hardly
fetch
their
breath
,
Signes
of
the
present
fit
.
the
Pulse
of
the
Arteries
is
seldome
,
their
hands
are
continually
laid
upon
their
belly
above
the
Navell
,
for
to
depresse
and
keepe
downe
the
Matrix
rising
upward
,
the
habite
and
forme
of
the
body
is
bending
downward
,
the
colour
is
pale
,
when
you
speake
they
make
no
answer
,
the
understanding
is
quicke
and
lively
without
any
voyce
at
all
,
there
is
no
motion
of
the
body
,
and
indeed
nothing
else
but
a
similitude
of
present
death
.
But
whether
life
doth
remaine
still
in
the
body
or
not
,
in
this
extreme
passion
of
the
present
fit
,
we
may
finde
out
by
these
experiments
and
trialls
.
Let
feathers
,
or
cleane
wooll
be
put
to
the
mouth
of
her
which
is
afflicted
with
this
grievous
fit
,
the
which
,
if
they
be
blowne
away
,
or
at
least
be
moved
,
it
shall
be
certaine
that
there
is
life
remaining
in
the
body
:
Moreover
,
it
shall
be
a
more
certaine
thing
to
place
a
glasse
full
of
water
upon
her
breast
,
for
life
remaining
as
yet
,
must
needs
thrust
and
extend
it selfe
out
,
and
so
moving
of
the
water
must
follow
:
Or
else
,
a
cleane
and
smooth
looking-glasse
is
to
be
put
to
her
mouth
and
nostrills
,
and
if
life
be
not
departed
,
you
shall
see
the
glasse
stained
by
the
hot
breath
:
Which
experiment
seemeth
to
be
most
probable
of
all
.
Some
doe
declare
,
that
a
certaine
woman
was
afflicted
with
this
fit
three
whole
daies
and
nights
,
and
at
last
to
have
returned
to
her selfe
,
being
supposed
to
have
beene
dead
.
Wee
have
seene
the
same
thing
to
have
happened
in
some
women
,
for
one
naturall
day
,
that
is
,
foure
and
twenty
houres
together
,
through
suffocation
of
the
Matrix
.
Signes
of
a
future
fit
.
But
these
signes
goe
before
a
fit
which
shall
follow
,
that
is
to
say
,
paine
of
the
head
,
dimnesse
of
the
eyes
,
a
continuall
panting
of
the
heart
,
shortnesse
of
breath
,
distemperature
of
reason
,
because
of
vapours
mixed
with
the
spirits
,
a
debility
and
weakenesse
of
all
the
members
,
cold
sweates
,
continuall
paine
in
the
wombe
.
And
indeed
evill
humours
retained
and
increased
in
the
wombe
,
doe
cause
and
breed
all
these
things
,
partly
,
neere
unto
it
,
partly
,
removed
farther
from
it
,
which
distemper
and
molest
the
braine
,
and
other
members
of
the
body
,
by
stopping
and
intercepting
naturall
heat
proceeding
from
the
heart
,
untill
they
suffocate
and
destroy
all
the
senses
at
once
,
and
also
the
strength
and
forces
of
the
body
.
But
in
the
cure
of
the
present
fit
of
this
sicknesse
,
first
,
you
shall
mingle
Salt
with
Vinegar
,
The
cure
of
the
present
fit
in
the
suffocation
of
the
Matrix
.
and
shall
rub
the
uttermost
parts
of
the
members
of
the
body
,
I
meane
the
soles
of
the
feete
,
and
palmes
of
the
hands
,
and
pulses
of
the
armes
;
afterward
binders
being
tied
neere
unto
the
secrets
,
the
hips
and
hammes
,
you
shall
apply
cupping-glasses
neere
unto
the
place
without
Scarification
.
Afterward
you
shall
apply
to
her
nostrills
all
things
which
being
burnt
have
a
strong
and
stinking
savor
,
as
Castoreum
,
Assa
Foetida
,
Feathers
,
Haire
,
Leather
,
Horne
,
Hooses
of
Horses
or
Kine
,
or
such
like
things
:
For
these
things
stirre
up
,
and
move
the
Animal
spirit
,
being
,
as
it
were
asleepe
,
which
by
and
by
inforced
with
such
a
stinking
favour
,
making
haste
to
come
to
the
braine
by
the
nerves
and
instruments
for
the
purpose
,
doth
stirre
up
the
motive
facultie
in
the
same
.
Moreover
,
this
motion
by
the
great
force
of
this
strong
savour
,
commeth
to
the
heart
with
the
Animal
Spirit
,
where
both
of
them
together
doe
repaire
vitall
spirit
in
the
same
,
being
oppressed
,
and
,
as
it
were
,
laid
asleepe
.
At
last
,
all
of
them
joyned
together
,
doe
oppose
themselves
against
the
Matrix
,
rising
up
towards
the
Midriffe
,
and
stir
up
the
expulsive
force
of
it
,
so
that
the
corrupt
humours
being
expelled
which
are
in
it
,
the
Matrix
may
fall
downe
,
and
give
more
roome
and
space
unto
the
superiour
vitall
Organs
or
Instruments
.
In
this
case
,
the
dung
of
a
Horse
fed
with
Oates
,
boiled
in
the
best
Wine
,
drunke
very
hot
is
very
much
approved
.
Also
halfe
a
dram
of
the
confection
Diacastoreum
,
taken
in
broth
made
of
a
Hen.
An
Vnguent
.
Likewise
such
an
Vnguent
may
be
prepared
wherewith
her
secrets
may
be
annoynted
inwardly
which
suffereth
this
swooning
:
Take
Muske
one
scruple
,
Gallia
Muscata
one
dram
,
Oile
of
Lillies
two
ounces
,
Temper
them
and
make
an
Vnguent
.
Suffumigations
also
being
thus
prepared
,
Suffumigations
.
from
which
a
fume
may
ascend
up
to
the
nostrills
,
will
profit
in
this
case
.
Take
Castoreum
,
Galbanum
dissolved
in
Vinegar
,
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
;
Brimstone
one
ounce
,
Assa
Foetida
one
dram
.
If
you
prepare
these
Fumes
or
Trochiskes
,
you
shall
confect
them
with
Oile
of
Castoreum
:
But
if
you
would
use
them
with
Vinegar
,
you
shall
put
pure
and
cleane
wooll
into
her
nostrills
,
dipped
in
Vinegar
,
in
which
these
powders
are
dissolved
,
or
you
shall
apply
it
,
outwardly
to
them
.
But
if
this
deadly
malady
shall
proceed
from
the
Termes
being
retained
in
the
Matrix
,
or
from
corrupt
seede
,
it
may
be
cured
in
the
same
manner
as
wee
will
declare
in
the
Chapters
following
.
But
if
the
cause
of
this
disease
shall
come
from
cold
,
it
will
be
the
wisest
course
to
use
hot
bathes
when
due
purgation
hath
beene
performed
,
such
as
are
the
bathes
in
that
part
of
Germany
which
is
named
Helvetia
,
(
A
certaine
diet
,
and
order
of
bathing
being
prescribed
and
set
downe
of
a
skilfull
Physician
)
because
that
water
doth
consist
of
much
Brimstone
,
and
some
Allome
,
it
sooner
resolveth
,
dispelleth
and
driveth
away
cold
,
heateth
the
Matrix
,
and
comforteth
all
other
Members
and

of

of

.
Of
the
Precipitation
or
falling
downe
of
the
Matrix
,
of
the
causes
and
cure
of
the
same
.
THe
Precipitation
of
the
Matrix
,
is
the
departure
and
digression
of
the
Matrix
from
her
naturall
place
into
some
other
place
,
or
the
comming
forth
and
outward
appearing
of
it
through
the
privities
.
This
hapneth
either
by
a
fall
,
blow
,
or
some
other
vehement
hurt
,
or
through
wind
inclosed
in
the
Matrix
,
or
corrupt
humours
,
or
by
the
intemperate
moistnesse
putrefying
the
ligaments
and
binders
of
the
same
,
or
else
through
difficulty
and
painfulnesse
of
Aborcement
,
or
the
birth
and
negligence
of
Midwives
,
or
by
violent
extraction
and
pulling
forth
of
the
Secundine
,
whereby
it
falleth
out
,
that
the
ligaments
and
stay-bands
of
it
are
broken
,
and
the
Matrix
is
throwne
downe
suddenly
to
issue
forth
.
This
removing
of
the
Matrix
is
caused
in
a
diverse
manner
,
that
is
to
say
,
toward
the
right
or
left
side
,
or
lower
,
and
into
the
fore-part
and
hinder
part
of
the
body
.
But
although
the
causes
of
these
diseases
may
easily
be
judged
and
discerned
by
these
things
going
before
,
yet
they
may
as
yet
be
divided
into
outward
and
inward
.
Outward
causes
are
,
Outward
Causes
.
falling
,
blowes
or
strokes
,
some
hurt
,
lifting
of
some
thing
which
is
of
great
waight
,
swift
running
,
leaping
,
dauncing
,
unseasonable
riding
,
all
immoderate
exercise
,
and
such
things
as
are
like
unto
them
.
Also
long
sitting
upon
the
cold
earth
or
cold
pavement
,
long-tarrying
in
cold
water
,
over-much
and
often
drinking
of
cold
water
:
Also
the
violent
breaking
forth
of
the
child
,
the
hard
and
painfull
birth
,
the
rashnesse
of
the
Midwives
,
the
violent
extraction
of
the
Secundine
,
often
coughing
,
great
crying
out
,
vehement
sneesing
.
The
disease
Tenasmus
,
binding
the
body
,
and
all
these
things
do
minister
occasions
to
the
Matrix
to
fall
downe
.
Inward
Causes
.
The
inward
causes
are
,
long
stopping
of
the
Flowers
,
with
whose
weight
the
Matrix
being
pressed
downward
,
doth
suddenly
descend
and
fall
downe
,
the
ligaments
and
binders
thereof
being
oftentimes
broken
in
sunder
:
Also
humours
inclosed
in
the
same
,
wind
enforcing
it
,
and
removing
it
from
her
place
.
Likewise
,
over-much
humidity
and
moisture
putrefying
and
corrupting
the
ligaments
,
or
tying-bands
,
and
by
that
infection
enforcing
it
to
issue
forth
.
The
signes
of
this
disease
are
not
unlike
to
the
causes
:
Signes
.
The
party
will
easily
rehearse
the
signes
of
the
outward
causes
,
Whosoever
is
grieved
with
this
disease
;
But
the
inward
signes
are
to
be
considered
according
unto
the
removing
of
the
Matrix
:
For
if
it
bend
toward
Diaphragma
,
or
the
Midriffe
,
without
any
strangling
or
choking
,
wee
may
perceive
that
the
woman
doth
feele
paines
,
and
heaving
above
the
Navell
,
to
feele
a
round
lumpe
like
a
Globe
in
her
belly
,
to
fetch
her
breath
and
wind
very
short
and
quicke
,
as
though
her
bowells
were
swiftly
crushed
together
with
the
hand
,
a
dimnesse
of
the
eyes
,
paine
of
the
head
,
loathing
of
meat
,
and
often
belchings
going
before
and
accompanying
it
:
sometimes
also
a
sound
of
the
belly
being
heard
,
especially
when
as
the
removing
from
her
place
shall
arise
from
wind
inclosed
in
the
same
.
But
if
it
shall
fall
downe
to
the
lower
parts
,
then
many
paines
shall
be
about
the
kidnies
,
loynes
and
secret
members
,
and
a
round
lumpe
is
felt
in
the
necke
of
the
Matrix
,
with
which
the
Bladder
and
Intestinum
rectum
,
or
the
Fundament
gut
are
so
pressed
together
,
that
it
is
a
hard
and
difficult
thing
for
her
to
void
her
urine
and
other
excrements
,
her
urine
also
will
be
white
and
thick
,
blewish
or
blacke
dregs
gathered
together
in
the
bottome
,
almost
no
pulse
at
all
,
soft
,
slender
,
thicke
and
disordered
.
But
if
by
intemperate
moisture
of
the
Matrix
,
the
ligaments
and
stay-bands
of
it
are
putrefied
and
rotted
,
so
that
for
that
cause
it
falleth
downe
to
issue
forth
,
we
must
understand
that
this
is
caused
without
any
paine
;
and
when
the
case
standeth
so
,
stinking
and
filthy
corrupt
matter
doth
issue
out
of
the
Matrix
continually
.
If
it
happen
by
difficultie
and
hardnesse
of
the
birth
,
it
will
at
all
times
appeare
out
of
the
privities
,
but
it
will
come
forth
being
forced
and
constrained
by
great
labours
and
exercises
,
and
will
stirre
up
great
paines
betweene
the
lips
or
brimes
of
the
same
,
being
pressed
together
.
Therefore
all
the
qualities
and
conditions
of
this
sickenesse
and
malady
are
diligently
to
be
marked
and
observed
,
that
all
things
may
goe
forward
the
better
in
the
administration
of
the
cure
.
The
cure
of
the
suffocation
of
the
Matrix
.
It
remaineth
now
to
give
diligent
admonion
and
counsell
also
concerning
the
cure
,
so
much
as
we
have
beene
able
to
know
,
and
profitably
to
gather
out
of
others
.
Wherefore
if
the
Matrix
shall
be
removed
upward
,
without
any
suffocation
,
it
shall
be
able
easily
to
be
reduced
and
brought
into
her
place
againe
with
Fumes
,
Fomentations
,
or
other
things
which
have
force
to
repell
and
drive
backe
,
as
it
hath
been
made
evident
and
manifest
in
the
Tractat
of
the
former
Chapter
,
concerning
the
suffocation
of
the
Matrix
.
But
if
it
shall
remove
toward
the
right
side
,
Cupping-glasses
are
to
be
fixed
on
the
contrary
side
without
Scarification
.
Also
let
there
be
binding-bands
made
of
cloth
folded
together
,
a
little
bundle
compounded
by
the
advice
of
some
Physician
of
such
things
,
as
have
force
to
move
the
Matrix
,
being
put
betweene
those
bands
.
When
those
things
are
inclosed
with
the
binding-bands
,
let
them
be
tyed
to
that
side
into
which
the
Matrix
is
removed
,
and
let
the
woman
that
suffereth
this
infirmity
,
lye
downe
upon
them
,
and
let
her
make
a
tryall
to
repell
it
backe
.
And
those
things
bundled
together
,
shall
be
Bawme
,
Camomile
,
Mugwoort
,
Melilot
,
Rue
or
herbe-Grace
,
and
such
like
things
.
Moreover
,
A
Powder
.
shee
must
take
one
spoonfull
of
this
powder
following
with
wine
very
hot
,
her
stomacke
being
as
yet
empty
,
every
day
in
the
morning
.
Take
Flowers
and
Berries
of
the
Bay-tree
,
Harts-horne
burnt
,
of
each
two
drams
,
Myrtles
two
scruples
,
Aristolochia
rotunda
one
dram
,
Mingle
them
,
and
make
a
powder
:
Or
otherwise
,
take
Peach-kernells
in
number
twelve
,
Dissolve
them
with
the
yolkes
of
three
Egs.
Afterward
take
Cinamome
,
Bay-berries
,
Aristolochia
rotunda
,
of
each
one
dram
,
Dittany
halfe
a
dram
,
Nutmegge
one
scruple
,
Saffron
halfe
a
scruple
,
mingle
them
with
Wine
and
Sugar
,
so
much
as
sufficeth
,
let
a
broth
or
meate
be
decocted
of
this
,
and
let
the
woman
eate
it
very
hot
next
her
heart
,
having
eaten
nothing
before
in
the
morning
.
For
it
serveth
wonderfully
for
restoring
the
Matrix
into
her
place
,
and
doth
mitigate
the
paines
of
the
same
.
But
if
it
fall
downeward
,
and
appeare
outwardly
by
the
secrets
,
first
,
the
excrements
of
the
belly
are
to
be
moved
to
issue
forth
with
a
Clyster
conveniently
,
and
likewise
the
Bladder
is
to
be
dis-burdened
,
also
the
wombe
is
to
be
mollified
with
this
bathe
following
,
A
Bathe
.
that
the
Matrix
may
have
the
more
easie
regresse
and
returne
into
her
place
:
Take
Mugwoort
,
Camomile
,
both
kindes
of
Mallowes
,
with
the
roots
,
Fenegrec
,
Bay-berries
,
of
each
one
handfull
,
mingle
them
together
,
and
let
a
bathe
be
made
of
them
.
So
often
as
she
shall
come
forth
of
the
bathe
,
let
the
Matrix
be
cherrished
with
warme
cloths
,
and
let
it
be
annoynted
with
the
Muscilage
made
of
the
Kernells
of
Quinces
,
mollified
with
the
water
of
Acacia
,
that
it
may
be
slippery
in
her
returne
back
.
Afterward
this
powder
following
being
sprinckled
on
it
,
being
cherrished
with
a
warme
cloth
,
let
it
be
put
againe
into
the
wombe
:
Take
of
the
juyce
of
Acacia
,
Myrtles
,
Pomegranat-flowers
,
red
Roses
,
of
each
one
dram
and
a
halfe
,
mixe
them
,
and
make
a
powder
;
And
in
the
cure
of
this
disease
,
let
the
woman
lie
in
her
bed
upon
her
backe
,
her
middle
part
or
hips
lifted
up
in
a
reasonable
manner
,
higher
than
the
rest
of
her
body
,
that
the
Matrix
fallen
downe
,
may
be
repelled
and
sent
backe
into
the
wombe
.
And
when
it
is
reduced
into
her
proper
place
,
let
her
lie
with
her
legs
stretched
out
abroad
,
and
let
a
large
glasse
,
or
more
glasses
be
fastened
to
her
belly
as
shee
lyeth
,
and
let
such
things
as
are
of
good
and
pleasant
smell
and
savour
be
applied
unto
her
nostrills
,
as
Amber
,
and
such
like
things
,
that
the
Matrix
may
be
drawne
upward
by
the
sweetnesse
of
the
savour
which
it
feeleth
:
A
Fume
.
Also
you
shall
make
a
Fume
for
her
as
shee
lieth
,
which
may
onely
attaine
to
her
Matrix
,
but
may
in
no
wise
come
unto
her
nostrills
:
Take
of
the
juyce
of
Acacia
,
the
bone
of
the
Cuttle-fish
,
Pomegranat-flowers
,
roots
of
Bistort
,
Galls
,
Cypresse-nuts
,
myrtles
,
or
the
leaves
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
,
Masticke
,
Olibanum
,
of
each
three
drams
,
Assa
Foetida
,
one
ounce
,
mingle
them
,
and
make
a
powder
of
them
.
After
this
Suffumigation
,
or
Fume
,
let
the
Matrix
be
Fomented
and
comforted
with
hot
Spunges
,
dipped
in
this
decoction
following
,
and
applied
one
after
another
:
Take
Myrtles
one
handfull
,
red
Roses
,
Acornes
,
Pomgranat-flowers
,
Acacia
,
of
each
halfe
a
handfull
,
mingle
them
together
and
make
a
decoction
of
them
with
red
Wine
untill
the
halfe
part
be
consumed
and
wasted
away
.
A
Pessary
.
Afterward
it
will
be
profitable
to
use
this
Pessarie
:
Take
Assa
Foetida
one
dram
,
Mastick
two
drams
,
Myrtles
,
Frankincense
,
Galls
,
Cypresse-nuts
,
of
each
one
dram
and
a
halfe
;
temper
them
with
oile
of
Myrtles
,
and
let
a
Pessary
be
made
of
them
,
the
length
and
thicknesse
of
one
finger
covered
over
with
silke
.
Also
this
experiment
is
proved
to
be
very
profitable
.
Dissolve
Garlick
bruised
in
a
Mortar
so
in
water
,
that
it
have
no
thicknesse
left
in
it
,
let
the
Matrix
be
washed
with
that
water
,
and
being
sprinckled
with
this
powder
following
,
let
it
be
put
into
the
wombe
againe
:
Take
Pine-apple-kernels
burn'd
,
Harts-horne
burn'd
,
Frankincense
,
Masticke
,
of
each
one
dramme
,
mixe
them
and
make
a
powder
.
How
the
Matrix
is
to
be
retained
being
brought
into
the
wombe
.
Now
the
Matrix
being
reduced
into
the
wombe
,
and
settled
againe
into
her
proper
place
,
we
must
use
Ventoses
or
Cupping-glasses
,
and
what
things
soever
have
retentive
force
to
draw
the
same
.
Some
doe
acknowledge
this
thing
for
a
certaine
experiment
,
to
lay
Nettles
being
well
bruised
,
upon
the
belly
,
like
a
plaster
,
and
not
to
be
removed
from
thence
for
a
good
while
,
for
by
that
meanes
the
Matrix
will
both
be
drawne
backe
,
and
also
retained
and
held
still
being
reduced
into
her
proper
place
.
But
that
the
Matrix
being
reduced
and
brought
into
the
wombe
,
may
remaine
and
continue
there
,
nor
suddenly
fall
downe
againe
,
it
must
be
strengthened
according
to
these
precepts
and
rules
following
:
First
,
let
the
woman
lie
a
whole
day
upon
her
backe
,
after
the
reducing
of
the
Matrix
into
her
proper
place
.
But
the
next
day
,
let
her
sit
in
a
bathe
boiled
with
these
herbes
,
about
the
space
of
one
houre
.
Take
red
Roses
,
Myrtles
,
seede
of
Sumach
,
A
Bathe
.
leaves
of
the
Medler-tree
,
of
a
Service-tree
,
the
bark
of
an
Oke
,
Acornes
,
Origanum
,
Sage
,
Rue
,
Comfrey
,
of
each
a
handfull
;
let
them
all
be
mixed
and
beaten
together
,
and
let
a
decoction
or
bathe
be
made
with
them
in
raine
water
,
or
in
water
in
which
burning-iron
hath
beene
quenched
.
When
she
commeth
out
of
the
bathe
,
let
her
drinke
this
powder
boiled
in
Wine
,
very
hot
:
Take
Rue
,
Mugwoort
,
of
each
halfe
a
handfull
,
Castofeum
two
drams
,
mingle
them
and
make
a
powder
of
them
;
Then
take
the
best
white
Wine
,
so
much
as
sufficeth
,
straine
it
,
and
to
the
straining
adde
two
drams
of
Mithridate
:
And
let
a
hot
Potion
be
made
of
it
.
Afterward
the
secrets
are
to
be
Fomented
and
bathed
nine
daies
together
,
and
likewise
Pessaries
are
to
be
used
.
A
Plaister
.
And
the
tenth
day
this
Plaister
following
spread
upon
white
Leather
shall
be
laid
to
the
lowest
part
of
the
belly
,
and
to
remaine
there
for
some
weekes
together
.
But
let
the
Cerot
or
Plaister
be
made
in
this
manner
:
Take
Frankincense
,
Masticke
,
Opopanax
,
Turpentine
,
Galbanum
,
Serapium
,
Rosine
of
the
Pine-tree
,
Styrax
liquida
,
Colophonie
,
of
each
two
drams
,
yellow
wax
three
drams
,
temper
them
together
,
and
let
a
Cerot
be
made
with
them
:
Or
else
,
Take
Galbanum
halfe
a
dram
,
Gallia
Muscata
one
dram
,
Cloves
halfe
a
dram
,
Rosine
of
the
Pine-tree
and
Colophonie
,
so
much
as
sufficeth
,
mixe
them
,
and
let
a
Cerot
or
Cerecloth
be
made
of
them
.
We
let
passe
here
of
set
purpose
,
nor
without
great
cause
,
something
in
this
Cure
,
which
is
onely
knowne
to
the
learned
and
skilfull
,
which
may
be
demanded
of
them
so
often
as
neede
shall
require
.
Further
,
you
shall
consider
,
that
when
the
aforesaid
sicknesse
shall
arise
from
cold
,
wind
,
or
over-much
moistnesse
of
the
Matrix
,
that
you
must
proceede
altogether
in
the
same
manner
,
which
wee
have
prescribed
and
set
downe
before
,
discoursing
of
the
windie
and
waterish
false
conception
,
named
Mola
,
I
say
,
concerning
a
Tympany
and
Hydropsie
.
CHAP.
X.
Of
the
superfluities
of
the
Termes
,
and
of
the
Cure
of
the
same
.
EVen
as
the
Termes
may
be
stopped
contrary
to
the
course
of
Nature
:
so
they
may
issue
forth
too
immoderately
,
contrary
to
the
custome
of
Nature
:
and
as
by
them
being
stopped
,
so
by
them
flowing
abundantly
,
many
diseases
are
caused
unto
women
,
as
Hippocrates
doth
advise
us
.
But
as
the
naturall
issue
of
the
Termes
,
which
otherwise
we
call
the
Menstruall
,
The
unnatural
issuing
forth
of
the
Termes
.
or
monthly
purgation
,
should
issue
forth
every
Moone
naturally
,
in
women
being
well
disposed
in
body
and
age
,
I
say
,
from
the
third
or
fourth
day
after
the
new-Moone
,
untill
the
eighth
day
(
although
in
this
case
there
be
many
differences
of
ages
,
complexions
,
and
disposition
of
body
)
so
wee
say
,
that
issuing
forth
of
the
Termes
not
to
be
naturall
which
passeth
beyond
that
time
.
And
we
say
,
that
this
doth
happen
two
waies
,
that
is
,
outward
and
inward
Causes
.
The
outward
causes
are
these
,
Externall
Causes
.
as
if
some
little
veine
be
broken
in
the
mouth
or
necke
of
the
Matrix
,
through
immoderate
exercise
,
or
some
hurt
chancing
unto
it
,
as
over-lifting
,
stroke
,
fall
,
violence
,
or
exulceration
:
Also
some
such
like
thing
,
may
be
caused
by
aborcement
and
hard
birth
,
and
also
by
the
ulcers
or
sores
of
the
Matrix
.
Notwithstanding
,
it
happeneth
sometime
that
Fluxes
and
issues
are
found
to
be
in
women
conceived
with
childe
every
moneth
,
yet
they
are
never
the
weaker
by
them
,
neither
doe
they
substract
or
withdraw
any
nourishment
from
the
Infant
.
Inward
causes
are
to
be
judged
and
discerned
from
Nature
it selfe
,
or
from
the
blood
.
Internall
Causes
.
From
Nature
,
when
shee
being
strong
doth
expell
the
blood
,
or
being
feeble
and
weake
cannot
hold
or
retaine
it
:
For
the
blood
,
when
it
is
too
hot
or
sharp
,
or
over
cold
and
thinne
;
againe
,
when
by
idlenesse
,
immoderate
meate
and
drinke
,
too
much
nourishment
is
afforded
to
the
blood
.
Moreover
,
certaine
signes
doe
happen
,
Signes
of
the
Causes
.
by
which
it
may
certainly
be
found
out
,
whether
they
come
from
an
outward
or
inward
cause
.
If
the
Flux
happen
from
an
outward
cause
,
as
from
a
veine
being
broken
through
some
immoderate
exercise
,
by
some
hurt
or
fall
,
then
the
colour
of
the
blood
will
be
red
at
the
first
,
but
by
and
by
blackish
,
or
blacke
.
If
it
issue
forth
straight-way
it
will
appeare
in
his
naturall
colour
,
but
being
retained
sometime
in
the
Matrix
,
it
will
issue
forth
with
an
ugly
and
thicke
colour
;
if
it
shall
remaine
there
long
,
it
will
be
altogether
full
of
corrupt
matter
.
But
if
the
blood
shall
issue
forth
because
of
ulcers
and
sores
of
the
Matrix
;
First
,
it
will
be
cleare
and
thin
,
but
by
&
by
it
wil
be
ful
of
filthy
matter
without
all
colour
.
If
the
strong
and
mighty
force
of
Nature
doe
expell
it
,
then
it
will
be
done
without
paine
,
that
also
the
body
is
alleviated
and
eased
by
it
,
because
Nature
voideth
no
more
of
that
which
is
ingendred
,
but
that
which
is
superfluous
either
in
quality
or
quantity
.
If
it
shall
happen
by
defect
of
retentive
vertue
,
it
will
issue
forth
by
drops
,
by
little
and
little
,
and
disorderly
,
without
any
intermission
,
and
the
woman
which
shall
be
affected
and
afflicted
with
this
issue
,
shall
waxe
pale
,
leane
and
very
feeble
in
all
her
members
,
but
the
blood
doth
retaine
still
his
naturall
colour
,
and
flowing
abroad
,
it
doth
not
burne
,
bite
,
or
molest
with
any
paines
:
But
the
cause
of
this
Flux
for
the
most
part
,
doth
happen
to
women
,
having
passed
beyond
the
fiftieth
yeere
,
when
as
their
Termes
doe
generally
depart
away
.
When
it
chanceth
to
young
women
,
oftentimes
it
happeneth
by
vehement
and
grievous
fits
of
a
Tertian
,
Quartan
Ague
,
and
paines
of
the
head
:
For
these
things
doe
dissipate
and
drive
away
Naturall
vertue
and
power
,
and
do
easily
bring
upon
them
such
a
Flux
and
immoderate
issue
.
If
it
proceed
,
and
be
caused
by
intemperate
heate
or
acrimony
and
egernesse
of
the
blood
,
the
issue
doth
burne
,
bite
,
inflame
,
and
corrode
the
entrance
and
mouth
of
the
Matrix
.
The
woman
pained
with
this
passion
,
doth
endure
intolerable
thirst
,
and
her
lips
are
grieved
with
chaps
,
bred
and
caused
by
most
sharpe
and
hot
vapours
of
the
blood
fuming
and
steaming
upward
.
Most
grievous
dolours
and
paines
are
felt
in
the
niples
of
the
Dugs
,
by
reason
of
the
affinity
and
fellowship
that
they
have
with
the
Matrix
.
The
blood
resembleth
the
colour
of
Saffron
,
and
is
blacke
;
neither
doth
it
issue
forth
copiously
,
although
it
be
constrained
.
If
it
arise
through
subtility
and
thinnesse
of
the
blood
,
then
the
blood
is
pure
and
cleare
,
and
the
Flux
is
small
:
If
heate
be
mixed
with
it
,
it
shall
easily
be
discerned
in
the
Matrix
,
and
by
other
tokens
and
signes
:
If
cold
be
mixed
with
it
,
it
shall
in
like
manner
be
observed
and
found
out
:
If
the
blood
shall
issue
forth
,
because
it
is
liquid
and
thin
,
the
cause
of
this
,
is
the
evill
disposition
and
state
of
the
body
,
and
the
debility
of
the
concoctions
,
caused
and
ingendred
by
abundance
of
many
moistures
and
winds
,
or
vapors
inclosed
and
imprisoned
in
the
Matrix
.
But
if
you
will
have
certaine
knowledge
of
the
humor
constraining
this
unnaturall
issue
,
looke
upon
a
linnen
cloth
sleightly
coloured
,
and
dipped
in
the
menstruous
blood
;
If
the
colour
of
it
doth
incline
to
rednesse
,
you
may
know
that
the
cause
of
the
Fluxe
doth
proceed
from
blood
:
If
it
bend
toward
Citrine
,
or
yellow
colour
,
from
Choler
;
if
it
incline
to
whitenesse
,
from
Phlegme
:
But
if
it
incline
to
a
black
colour
,
you
may
know
the
cause
of
the
Fluxe
to
arise
from
Melancholy
.
What
Fluxes
are
to
be
stopped
.
Further
,
you
shall
consider
,
when
as
the
Flux
:
shall
be
tolerable
,
and
easie
to
be
indured
,
which
doth
not
make
the
body
leane
,
nor
weaken
it
,
but
doth
dis-burden
it
,
and
make
the
same
more
light
and
nimble
,
that
such
a
Flux
is
inforced
and
moved
by
naturall
vertue
and
power
,
only
expelling
and
voyding
that
,
which
is
superfluous
in
the
blood
,
and
therefore
such
Flux
and
issue
ought
not
to
be
restrained
or
stopped
.
But
if
the
contrary
thing
happen
,
it
is
to
be
restrained
and
staied
altogether
,
lest
it
bring
the
Patient
to
cholerick
Fevers
,
because
that
blood
being
evacuated
and
exhausted
,
Choler
doth
beare
the
whole
sway
,
and
play
the
Tyrant
,
and
being
freed
from
his
bridle
doth
furiously
vex
and
torment
the
Patient
:
For
blood
,
as
it
is
commonly
said
,
is
the
bridle
of
Choler
;
But
because
also
naturall
colour
is
nourished
&
cherrished
with
blood
,
that
flowing
away
,
it
is
necessary
that
a
defect
and
decay
of
heat
must
follow
and
ensue
,
and
by
that
all
the
members
and
parts
of
the
body
to
waxe
cold
,
the
whole
body
to
be
debilitated
and
weakened
,
the
whole
appetite
to
be
taken
away
,
the
concoctions
to
be
hindred
,
the
Consumption
and
Hydropsie
,
and
also
other
most
miserable
diseases
at
the
last
to
hasten
after
the
same
But
because
it
is
not
sufficient
to
know
the
diversities
of
the
diseases
onely
,
unlesse
wee
be
resolved
likewise
of
the
fit
and
convenient
cure
of
repelling
them
:
wee
will
hereafter
also
declare
a
few
things
of
many
,
which
shall
seeme
to
be
the
choisest
and
most
speciall
,
concerning
the
cure
and
remedy
of
these
evills
.
And
as
the
Causes
of
these
Fluxes
and
issues
are
inward
and
outward
:
so
the
cure
shall
be
inward
and
outward
also
.
The
inward
cure
of
unnaturall
Fluxes
.
And
truely
first
of
all
,
if
this
unmeasurable
or
unnaturall
Fluxe
shall
happen
by
some
inward
cause
:
before
all
things
,
the
diet
and
use
of
all
outward
things
shall
be
ordered
and
directed
to
a
cold
and
dry
temperature
,
that
blood
may
decrease
and
be
diminished
.
Therefore
it
will
greatly
profit
to
decoct
and
seethe
all
convenient
and
agreeable
meats
in
Milke
,
or
Water
,
in
which
Steele
red-hot
hath
beene
quenched
,
and
to
eate
Colewoorts
boiled
with
Lentills
or
Beanes
:
Or
if
it
please
you
,
such
a
decoction
shall
first
be
prepared
;
wherein
other
meats
afterward
shall
be
boiled
.
Take
Plantane-leaves
,
flowers
of
Wool-blade
or
Lungwoort
with
the
leaves
of
each
one
handful
,
the
roots
of
Symphytum
or
comfrey
one
ounce
,
mingle
them
together
,
and
boile
them
with
water
or
Milk
in
which
burning
Iron
hath
beene
quenched
,
straine
it
,
and
squeise
it
out
hard
:
With
this
decoction
all
other
meates
may
be
prepared
,
as
Almonds
,
Lentills
,
Beanes
,
the
graine
Milium
,
Rice
,
Amylum
,
and
the
like
things
:
rosted
flesh
is
to
be
preferred
before
sodden
:
Also
sauces
may
be
prepared
of
the
juice
of
Goose-berries
,
Sorrell
,
and
Barberries
,
to
be
mingled
with
other
meats
.
Let
her
abstaine
from
Spices
,
and
all
things
which
are
of
a
hot
nature
,
but
specially
from
Saffron
:
Let
her
drinke
thicke
red
Wine
,
allaied
with
water
wherein
Steele
hath
beene
quenched
.
It
will
likewise
be
profitable
,
that
Gold
should
oftentimes
be
extinguished
and
quenched
in
that
Wine
,
after
it
hath
beene
made
red-hot
in
the
fire
.
Let
her
use
no
exercise
,
but
as
much
rest
as
may
be
;
Let
her
use
much
sleep
,
let
her
wholly
shake
hands
with
Venus
,
and
flie
from
her
as
from
a
deadly
poison
.
Her
belly
being
constipated
and
bound
by
reason
of
this
continuall
Fluxe
,
shall
be
relaxed
and
unloosed
with
a
gentle
Clyster
;
but
thou
shalt
not
by
any
meanes
restraine
and
stop
the
Flux
,
unlesse
it
shall
induce
and
bring
debility
and
feeblenesse
,
lest
thou
oppose
thy selfe
against
Nature
,
of
her
owne
accord
expelling
and
voiding
out
superfluous
things
,
when
thy
resistance
shall
procure
great
evill
.
When
,
and
how
Fluxes
are
to
be
restrained
.
But
when
necessity
shall
require
,
then
at
last
it
will
be
convenient
and
profitable
to
binde
and
stop
this
Flux
.

use

CHAP.
XI
.
Of
the
the
Causes
and
Cure
of
the
stopping
of
the
Termes
.
BVt
because
in
the
former
Chapter
we
have
given
instructions
concerning
the
immoderate
Fluxes
and
issuings
of
the
Termes
and
of
the
Cure
of
the
same
.
The
next
thing
is
,
that
wee
should
also
speake
a
little
concerning
the
retention
and
stopping
of
them
:
For
thereby
many
sicknesses
and
diseases
are
bred
and
ingendred
,
if
they
be
detained
contrary
to
Nature
,
nor
doe
not
issue
forth
in
such
a
quantity
as
they
should
every
Moone
,
in
women
well
disposed
,
in
respect
of
age
and
constitution
of
body
.
And
we
must
understand
that
this
happeneth
by
outward
and
inward
Causes
.
Outward
causes
of
the
stopping
of
the
Termes
.
Externall
causes
are
,
the
aire
intemperately
hot
,
cold
and
dry
,
meats
over
hot
and
binding
,
whereby
the
humours
are
burned
,
the
body
dried
,
and
concoctions
are
hindred
;
also
meats
which
are
too
cold
congealing
and
freezing
(
as
it
were
)
the
rest
of
the
humours
of
the
body
by
their
coldnesse
,
and
letting
them
from
issuing
forth
by
restraining
and
binding
them
.
To
these
causes
also
these
following
doe
pertaine
,
too
much
watching
,
immoderat
fasting
,
every
unseasonable
and
sudden
commotion
or
perturbation
of
the
body
,
as
great
anger
,
sudden
fury
,
great
sadnesse
,
great
lamentation
,
over-much
solitarinesse
,
great
labour
,
any
great
diseases
,
sharp
fits
,
a
Quartane
Fever
,
paine
of
the
Head
,
the
Fever
Hecticke
,
too
much
fatnesse
,
issuing
forth
of
the
blood
of
the
nostrils
,
or
any
other
member
,
Vlcers
and
great
Apostems
.
Inward
causes
,
Inward
causes
.
are
partly
bred
by
the
corruption
of
some
humour
,
and
partly
without
the
corruption
of
any
humour
:
Causes
without
the
corruption
of
the
humour
,
are
over-much
heat
,
coldnesse
,
and
drinesse
:
For
to
those
,
which
are
cholericke
,
the
humours
are
exsiccated
and
dried
up
through
immoderate
heat
,
and
therefore
the
Termes
are
stopped
:
But
to
the
melancholicke
,
The
corruption
of
the
qualities
.
the
same
thing
happeneth
by
immoderate
coldnesse
and
drinesse
.
But
when
they
happen
without
the
corruption
of
the
humour
,
we
must
allege
the
qualities
to
be
the
cause
,
and
we
may
observe
certaine
signes
from
what
quality
they
doe
proceede
,
and
againe
,
whether
from
a
simple
or
a
compound
quality
.
If
they
happen
from
coldnesse
and
drinesse
,
the
issue
of
the
Termes
is
little
,
the
colour
will
be
pale
,
no
desire
of
Venus
,
the
urine
thin
,
white
,
and
without
any
convenient
subsidence
or
grounds
in
the
bottome
.
If
they
chance
from
hotnesse
and
drinesse
,
the
Termes
will
be
few
,
the
colour
redder
,
the
greater
desire
of
Venus
,
the
urine
thinne
,
reddish
,
but
almost
no
subsidence
or
dregs
in
the
bottome
of
it
.
But
for
the
most
part
this
retention
and
stopping
of
the
Termes
,
The
corruption
of
the
humours
.
doth
happen
by
the
corruption
and
fault
of
some
humour
,
as
of
Phlegme
,
Choler
and
Melancholy
,
but
not
of
blood
at
all
,
because
they
are
onely
retained
and
stopped
through
the
other
humours
bearing
sway
in
the
blood
.
Moreover
common
signes
,
by
which
it
is
observed
that
the
retention
of
the
Termes
is
caused
by
the
corruption
of
some
humour
,
are
these
,
namely
,
most
great
paines
from
the
Navil
,
even
to
the
privities
,
and
about
the
Kidnies
,
loynes
,
and
hips
continuall
paines
,
but
most
often
paines
of
the
head
,
and
also
cold
sweats
,
many
infirmities
and
griefes
of
the
eyes
,
because
of
their
affinity
and
fellowship
with
the
Matrix
,
a
painfull
heavinesse
of
the
eye-lids
,
the
colour
pale
,
much
sadnesse
,
often
refusing
of
meate
,
appetite
slow
,
weakenesse
of
the
members
,
and
heavinesse
of
the
whole
body
:
But
here
also
concerning
the
quality
of
the
humors
very
great
differences
are
noted
and
observed
,
as
shall
be
made
manifest
in
the
discourse
following
.
If
the
cause
be
from
Phlegme
,
If
the
cause
of
the
stopping
of
the
Termes
come
from
phlegme
,
what
be
the
signes
,
and
what
be
the
cures
.
the
woman
waxe
pale
,
the
eyes
doe
become
blewish
,
the
eye-browes
doe
swell
,
cold
is
felt
in
the
bottome
of
the
Matrix
,
thick
and
stinking
humors
doe
issue
from
it
,
white
Termes
doe
drop
from
them
,
the
vrine
is
plae
,
like
unto
Milke
,
thicke
,
and
grosse
substance
is
found
in
the
bottome
.
But
where
this
cause
shall
be
observed
and
found
,
first
,
the
diet
shall
be
directed
and
ordered
to
a
hot
