The second operation.
TO fluxions which are made a long time upon the eyes, Paul Aeginete and Albuca∣sis command to make incision which they call Periscythismos or Augiologie of the Greekes; and see heere the words of Paul, In this operation first the head is shaved, * 1.1 then taking heede of touching the temporall muscles, a transverse incision must bee made, beginning at the left Temple and finishing at the right, which you have put in your booke word for word, without changing any thing: which sheweth open∣ly you are a right wound-maker; as may be s••ene in the Chapter which you call the Crowne cut, which is made halfe round under the Coronall suture from one tem∣ple to the another even to the bone. Now I doe not teach such a cruell kind of reme∣dy, * 1.2 but instruct the operator by reason, authority and notable proofe of a sure and certaine way to remedy such affections without butchering men in this kind.
