Chap. 5. Of vrines.

What is vrine?

Vrine is the clearer and lighter part of bloud proceeding from the reines; which if a man forceth to suppresse, hee is in daun∣ger of the cholick or stone.

What colour of vrine is most commendable?

That vrine is most laudable, which is of co∣lour somewhat red and yealow like gold, an∣swering in proportion to the liquor, which you drink.

Teach mee to prognosticate by vrines?

White vrine signifieth rawnesse and indige∣stion in the stomack. Red vrine betokeneth heat. Thick vrine and like to puddle sheweth sicknesse, or excessiue labour. If white or red grauell appeare in the bottome of your vrinal, it threatneth the stone in the reines. In briefe, black or greene coloured vrine declareth death most commonly to ensue.
