Chap. X. Of the Cure. And first of bleeding.

FIrst of al therefore as concerning indication preservative, or the removing of the causes, and bleeding at the beginning; truly the cause of this disease pro∣perly and next of al is not taken away by letting of blood; yet if blood do abound in the body, and that especially be too hot, the proper remedies of this disease, which are hot and dry, cannot be safely administred unless the abounding blood be first di∣minished.

And truly if the virulent matter have no peculiar motion to any part, the basilick veine may first of al be opened: but if the matter have motion to some particular part, as to the groin, and nature thrust forth a bubo, bleeding is warily to be used: for if the bubo tend to suppuration, we must not let blood, and especially in the Arme, lest nature be troubled in her expulsion, and the matter be recalled to the inward parts. And it hath been observed, that many from the bubo opened, and the matter a long while emptied by it, have become perfectly found; on the contra∣ry from unseasonable bleeding, the evil hath been prolonged; therefore in bleeding we must attend the motion of nature, and when the tumor doth not afford hopes of suppuration, a veine must be opened in the lower parts, for so the the matter is re∣tracted towards the lower parts, and by reason of the efflux of hot blood, 'tis after∣wards more easily suppurated. After the same manner a veine is to be opened in the yard, if there be rottenness in the privities, or a running of the Reines, and wholly if the parts below the Liver be affected: but if the matter rush to the head, and there cause most vehement pains, filthy ulcers, falling of the haire, the cephalick veine in the Arme is most commonly opened.

The other precepts which are propounded in general concerning the right admi∣nistration in bleeding, are here also to be observed; which whenas they are not pro∣per to this affect, we shal no further propose them here.

If the strength wil not beare bleeding, instead thereof the hemorhoidal veines of the Arse, may be opened, or Cupping-glasses be applied in convenient places.
