¶ Of the Feuers and Agues. Capi. xxxvi.

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

Old men be neuer troubled wyth 〈1 page missing〉〈1 page missing〉

sore agewes because theyr bodyes be cold.

All sharpe diseasys are iudged in fourtene dayes.

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

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

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

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

In al diseases they be in leasse ieo¦pardy to whose nature age, accustō, or time of the yeare the sicknes doth agre, then they wyth whome it doth

in no poynt agree.

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

In dry seasons ther shall reygne diuerse sore agewes.

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

In the somer these do chiefly reyg¦ne, contynual and brenynge agews tertyan and quartayne feuers, vo∣myting, laxes, blernesse with vlcers in the mouthe and pryuy membres. A cold stifnesse chancīg the sixt day in any feuer doth take away all iud¦gmente.

All feuers which do not intermite and geue ouer the thyrde day be pe¦rillouse, but if the paciente haue no fyte that day ther is no ieope••dy.

If great coldnesse take hym why¦che is veri weke thrugh a contynu∣all agew it is deadly.

If in a contynuall agew the out∣ward membres be very cold and the inwarde partes hote and drye, it is a token of death

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

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

A sodeyne laxe or dotage in a con∣tinuall feuer is deadly.

An apostem which doth not breake at the fyrst iudginge daye in a Fe∣uer, doth signifie the longe contynu¦ance of the dysease.

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

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

If he which hath an agew do swea¦te very muche and the disease conty¦new it is euyl, for it betokeneth lōg syknesse and abundance of humors

He that hath a convulsyon or dis∣cencion in y^e synowes, and thervpō an agew, is sodeynly delyuered.

A tertyan not endid in seuen fittes shall contynue longe.

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

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

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

Soryful syghes in sharpe agewes be to be fearyd.

They which haue the quartaine haue seldome convulsyons, and yf he which hath a convulsion fal to a

quartayne he shalbe deliuerid from his conuulsyon.

If he whiche hath an agew swette in these dayes folowing it is verye good, the thrid, the .v.vii, ix.xi.xiiii.xvii.xxi▪xxvii, xxxi.xxxiiii. for y^e swe¦tes do iudge y^e feuer, but if they be o¦therwyse, they declare longe conty∣nuance of y^e disease & great paynes.
