CHAP. XIX. How Arrows broken in a Wound may be drawn forth.
BUt if it chance that the weapon is so broken in the wound, that it cannot be taken hold on by the formerly mentioned Mullets, then must you draw, or pluck it out with your Crane- or Crows-bill,* 1.1 and other formerly described Instruments. But if the shaft be broken near the head, so that you cannot take hold thereof with your Cranes-bill, then you shall draw it forth with your Gimblet, which we described before to draw forth Bullets; for if such a Gim∣blet can be fastned in Bullets, it may far better take hold of wood. But if the head be barbed, as usually the English Arrows are, then if it may

be conveniently done, it will be very fitting to thrust them through the parts. For if they should be drawn out the same way they went in, there would be no small danger of breaking or tearing the Vessels and Nerves by these hooked barbes. Wherefore it is better to make a section on the other side whither the head tended, and so give it passage forth if it may be easily done; for so the wound will be the more easily clensed and consolidated. But on the contrary,* 1.2 if the point tend to any bone, or have many muscles or thick flesh a∣gainst the head thereof, as it happens sometimes in the Thighs, Legs and Arms; then you must not thrust the head through, but rather draw it out the same way it came in, dilating the wound with fit Instruments, and by skill in Anatomy shunning the larger Nerves and Vessels. Therefore for this purpose, put a hollow Dilater into the wound, and therewith take hold of both the barbs or wings of the head; and then take fast hold of the head with your Cranes-bill, and so draw them forth all three together.
