If it bee flowing, it requirth euacuation, both from the part whence it loweth (whether it be th whole bodye, or some part) which is done by bludler∣ting, thinne & cooling diet, with pur∣ging medicines: as also from the part, whither it floweth: which is to bee wayed in two respectes for eyther it floweth to that part, as being drawen of the part or els, as sent thither only.
