The cure of all sorts of fevers both generall, and particular, with their definition, kindes, differences, causes, signes, prognostication, and manner of cure, with a prespectation, their intentions curative, with their symptoms, and divers other things herein very necessarie to be judiciously observed in every fever. Lately compiled by Ed. Edvvards Doctor in Physick. Ann. Dom. 1637.

A Discourse of all sorts of Fevers.

First what a Fever is.

A Fever is an unnaturall heat kindled either of the

• 1 Spirits,
  • 1 Being inflamed without putrefaction of matter.
  • 2 Causing either Diaria
    • 1 Simplex lasting 24. houres.
    • 2 Plurimum i. dier. lasting Some dayes.
• 2 Humours causing a prefixed or rotten Fe∣ver, they rot either
  • 1 In the vessels, and that three wayes, for either
    • 1 All the humours rot equally, as in Syno∣nochus putrida.
    • 2 Humours rot; and that either,
      • 1 Equall.
      • 2 Inequall.
    • 3 One humor alone causing a Fever con∣tinuall according to the na∣ture of the humour putrified.
  • 2 In the vessels causing an intermitting fever according to the nature of the humour putrified in the missen∣teries, &c.
  • 3 In and without the vessels, both causing a compound fe∣ver both intermitting, and continuall.
• 3 Solid parts of the body, causing a Fever Hectick.

The number of Fevers are generally two.

••e two i. the

• 1 Generall be three capitall Fevers, from which the particulars are de∣rived. i.
