THe principal and chief Tumors which the abundance of humors generate, are four; a Phlegmon,* 1.1 Erysipelas, Oedema, and Scirrhus: innumerable others may be reduced to these, distinguished by divers names according to the various condition of the efficient cause and parts receiving. Wherefore a Phygethlum, Phyma, Fellon, Carbuncle, Inflammation of the Eyes, Squincy, Bubo, and lastly, all sorts of hot and moist tumors may be reduced to a Phlegmon. The Herpes miliaris, the eating Herpes, Ring-worms, and Tetters, and all Impostumes brought forth by choler, are contained under an Erysipelas. Atheromata, Steatomata, Melicerides, the Testudo, or Talpa, Ganglion, Knots, Kings-Evils, Wens, watery Ruptures, the Ascites and Lenco∣phlegmatia may be reduced to an Oedema, as also all flatulent tumors, which the abundance of cor∣rupt Phlegm produces.

* 1.2In the kindred of the Scirrhus are reckoned a Cancer, Leprosie, Warts, Corns, a Thymus, a Va∣rix, Morphew, black and white, and other Impostumes arising from a Melancholy humor.
