¶Of the diseasys in the liuer. Capi. xxvii

AN agew taketh away y^e grefe and paynes in the lyuer.

A wounde in the braynes, hert, mi¦drife, smal guttes, stomake, or lyuer is deadly.

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

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

If he whiche hath the dropsye be woundyd, it is harde to hele hym. Whosoeuer hath grypinges about the hauel, and paynes in the loynes and cannot be helped bi purgatiōs

or otherwise shal fal to a dry hidrop¦sye.

The coughe goinge before the hi¦dropsye is euyl, but in the hydropsy much worse.

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

A bloudy fluxe, an hidropsy or mad¦nesse after a frenesy, are laudable.

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

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

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