CHAP. I. What a wound is, what the kinds and differences thereof are, and from whence they may be drawn or derived.

A Wound is a solution of Continuity, caused by a stroak, fall, or bite, newly done, bloody, and with putrefaction and filth. They also call it a new simple Ulcer; for the solution of continuity happens to all parts of the body; but according to the diversity of parts, it hath divers names amongst the Greeks. For in the flesh it is called Helcos, in the bone Catagma, in the nerve Spasma, in the ligament Thalas∣ma, in the vessels Apospasma, in the Muscles Regma; and that solution of continuity, which hap∣pens in the vessels, their mouths being open, is termed Anastomosis; that which happens by ero∣sion, Aneurosis; that which is generated by sweating out and transcolation, Diapedesis: That these may be the more easily understood, I have thought good to describe them in the following table.

    A Table of the Differences of Wounds.
    • ...The differences of Wounds are drawn or taken,

          • ...Either soft, as the
            • ...Glandules,
            • ...Flesh, Fat, Mar∣row.
          • ...Or hard, as
            • ...A Bone,

            • ...The Ears, Nose, Feet, Hands, and other of the same kind.
      • ...From their proper essence, from whence they are called,
        • ...Simple wounds
          • ...When there is no complication, of any other disease or symptom besides,
        • ...Or compound,
          • ...When there is a complication of some one or more diseases, which unless they be taken away, we must not hope for to cure the wound.
      • ...From their quantity according to which they are called,
        • ...Great, Indifferent, Little,
        • ...Long, broad, Deep.
