The first Chapter, of medimentes in Generall.

IN this Treatise, we will speake of diuers sorts of medicaments comonly vsed by the Chi∣gians the which we shall first shew the de∣finition and diuision of euery on seuerallye both simples and composed, whereof they proceede and take their originall, as of plantes, trees, beastes, earth or sea. Of the partes of plantes, as of the leaues, flowers, bark, roote, seede, gumme, iuice or oyles. Of beasts as of Vipers, Serpents, Cantarides, Froggs, Cats, or of the dissimilare parts of beastes, as the Liuer, Lightes, Hart, or Braines, also of the excrementes, as of the Haire, Hornes, Dung and such like. Of mineralls or earth, as Stones, Mettells, as Orpiment, Sandaracha, Sulphur, Cad∣mia, Litarge, Quick siluer, Argent, Calcites. Of the Sea and waters, as all kinde of Salt, Sponges, Asphaltrum, Ni∣tre, Amber, Bitumen, Pissaphalen, Garinum, Alcionium. The compoundes may bee made of these simples diuers wayes, as oyles, Vnguents, Liniments, Cerates, Cataplas∣mes, Emplasters, distilled water, Fomentatiōs, Vaporatiōs, Suffumigatiōs, Gargarismes, Bathes & such like, but for the better

vnderstanding of this matter, we shall shew the degrees of medicamentes, and next the measure and weight. There are foure degrees of medicines, hot, cold, drie and humide, and haue foure qualities, as heating, cooling, drying, and humecting▪ but not manifestly, and so little, as is scarsely knowne by the sense. The second degree is heating, coo∣ling, drying, humecting manifestly, as is apparent to the iudgement. The thirde degree is heating, cooling, drying and humecting, offending the senses, but not extreamely. The fourth degree is hot, burning, and maketh a scarce and corrupteth the senses, as quicke lyme, all caustickes actuall and potentiall, colde, which mortifieth and obtundeth the senses, as opium and all stupefactiues, or drie, which burne like Canters actuall: humide is not so vehement, as the o∣thers, for humiditie is not vehement, except it bee ioyned with colde, of the which Galen hath made no mention. After this manner the medicamentes were put in degrees, before Galen, as reporteth Dioscorides.

The second Chapter, of medicaments which appease dolour called Anodins in Greeke.

DOlour is a grieuous feeling like as pleasure is a ioyfull feeling the which is cured, first by knowing the cause,* 1.1 next by the ablation of the same. The cause of dolour is eyther distemperature or solution of continuitie which is eyther hot, drie, or humide. The hot causeth vehement paine. The drie causeth paine but not so vehemēt. The hu∣mide maketh almost no paine at all,* 1.2 medicament Anodins called bp the Greekes Paogonta are those that haue force by their temperate heate to appease the dolour, of the which some be propers, some be impropers. The propers Anodins are those which be a contrarie qualitie open and take away the cause of dolour, like as oleum laurium in cold dolors, violet in hot dolors, hyd••••elium in drie dolors. The Anodins improper are these which not by themselues but by accident appease the paine & are called by the Greeks Narcoticks the which stupifie the feeling of the part and make it more heauie: The office of the proper Anodins is to euacuate, digest, rarifie, extenuate the euill humors which be sharp, thick, vaporous, and cold.

The Anodins proper are eyther simple or Composed.

Simple like as oleum amygdalarū dulcium, butiri, lini, o∣uorum, hyperici axungia, galline, anatis, auseris fol malne, violar••••, parietarie, medulla vituli, et cerni, a∣qua calida. semen lini, camomilla, fenu grecum mellilo∣tum, folia hyoschiami.

The compounds of these are oyles, vnguents, linimēts, & plasters, fomentations, cataplasmes, and such like, which may be made according to the va••le••ie of the disease.

Of Narcoticks which are Anodins Impropers

Like as in taking away paine there are 3 things to be ob∣serued to wit the cause of the paine, the payne it selfe,

and the part where it is for the which Galen hath set down three kindes of medicaments.* 1.3 Of the which some take a∣way the cause, some the paine and not the cause, others neither the cause nor paine but only the feeling of the part and by accident the paine. Of the which some bee sim∣ples, others composed, Galen forbiddeth the vsage of such except the body be purged and in no waies in weake parts and neare the noble parts.* 1.4

THe medicament Repercussiue called by the Latins Repercutients or Repellens is that which by the colde qualitie putteth back the humor,* 1.5 or else by the astric∣••ion corroborateth the part or by one or both letteth the fluxion of humors▪* 1.6 of the which there are two viz. simples and composed.

THe Medicamentes Attractiues which the Greeks call Electica, by the Latines Attrahentia, are contrarie to the Repercussiues. Forsomuch as they draw from the Centre to the circumference, and are of temperature hotte and substance thinne, to the ende they may pearce more easily: and may be deuided into three sortes. The first dra∣weth by the naturall heate, the second by putrefaction, the third by an hidden propertie,* 1.7 some adde the fourth kinde, per fugam vecui like as in ventosing, boxing, sucking, by bandages, frictions, horsleaches, vissicatories, medica∣mentes caustickes, the which indeede be not properly cal∣led medicamentes Attractiues.
