CHAP. XXVII. Of woundes in the ••••gges.
WOundes in the knees and legs are much perillous: because those parts haue greater inter∣foulding and packing of b••••es, liga∣ments and si••ewes: and because those parts, for their inferiour position, are more subiect to the descension of hu∣mors.
Preuent the impendent accidentes by reuulsiue bloudletting, cupping, ligatures, and frications, appointing thin diet, cōmanding rest, & purging by vomit but not by stoole•• as for the wounde it selfe, that must be ioyned, according to the order of woundes in the armes: making a repellēt ligature or rowling, to keepe the humors for flowing to the place: which is don, by beginning with one end of the rowle at lower end of the member, & conti∣nue rowling vpwarde, strict beneath, but towards the vpper part of the mē∣ber, by little & little, looser. Nowe if there growe any paine, or inflamma∣tion, all such are to be done away, as in their proper place is sayd a••ore.
