I. Ʋniversal, sc. Feavers,

and according to the common definition thereof, a feaver is a hot distemper of the whole body, which ariseth from heate preterna∣turally accended in the heart, and by the mediation of the spirits and bloud is diffused through the veines and arteries into the whole body, and hurteth the natural actions by the cōbination of symptomes, sc. thirst, hickets, vomiting, fluxes, drynesse, black∣nesse and asperity of the tongue, lipothymie and syncope, the dyspnoea, head-ach, watching, epileptick convulsions, &c. it's cau∣sed by motion, putrefaction, contact of hot things, pycnosis or con∣striction of the pores, and admixture of hot things: And differs by intension and remission, gentlenesse and violence, hexis and schesis, and as primarie & symptomatick, &c. It's cured by refrige∣ration and humectation.

Feavers are, 1. not putrid: 1. The epheme¦ra, which is occasioned by the incending of the vital spirits, and lasteth one day, it's caused by what ever too much heateth them; it's cured by a refrigerating and humecting diet, of easy concoction and good juyce, as the flesh of kids, veale with vineger and cooling herbs, drinking barley water and small beere: If it lasteth more dayes, stronger remedies are to be used. 2. The synocha simple; which is without putrefaction, caused by the effervescencie of the spirits and more thin bloud, without remission, and lasting three foure or more dayes; its cured by phlebotomy, and the drinking of cold water, with a thin and small diet, to refrigerate and humect, sc. ptisan, small beere and things acid.

2. Putrid, which is caused by hot vapours elevated by the putrefaction of humours, which preternaturally torrify the heart; it's cured by phlebotomy, vomitories, coction, purgation and preperation of the humours by things appropriate, acetose, aperient and corroborative, by sudo∣rificks and diureticks, and diet, sc. prisans, oxymel, emulsions, chickens, and veale with things acid. These feavers are, 1. con∣tinent. 1. The synocha putrid, which is caused by bloud putrified

in the vena cava, afflicting without remission and intension perio∣dical from the begining to the end; it's cured by phlebotomy, pur∣gation, alterants with things acetose, and a thinne diet, sc. barley water, and chickens broth altered by refrigerating herbs.

2. The causus, or burning feaver, which is continual, caused by the putre∣faction of bloud in the greater vessels, and continually afflicts with great thirst and heate; it's cured by venefection, purgation, vomi∣tories, alteration, corroboration, mitigation of symptomes, & diet as before.

2. Periodick continual, and it is caused, by excremen∣titious humours putrifying in the veines, that are betwixt the great and capillary, remitting by certaine periods without intermission; it's cured, as its species:

1. The primary continual: 1. The Tertian continual, which is caused by bilious bloud purrifying in the pro∣pagines of the vena cava, continually troubling, but most on the third day; it's cured, by phlebotomy, remedies alterant preparant and cathartick, whey, diureticks, sudorificks, topicks, diet coo∣ling and humecting, sc. ptisan, chickens, and things acid: If it be spurious, the cure is according to the type and complication.

2. Quotidian continual, which is caused, by a pituitous humour pu∣trifying in the propagines of the vena cava, having exacerbations every day; it's cured by laxants, concocters and alterers, purgers, diureticks, cardiacks, an attenuating inciding and abstersive diet, chickens, kids flesh and mutton, aromaticks and capers, with ptisan. The epiala is cured as other putrids: and the syncopal by laxation concoction and thin diet.

3. Quartan continual, which is caused by melancholick bloud putrifying in the propagines of the vena cava, the heate of which doth alwayes remaine, but is in∣tended in the fourth day; it's cured by phlebotomy, preparation and coction, diureticks and sudorificks, and diet cooling.

2. Symp∣tomatick continual, which is caused by other diseases; and ceaseth, they being removed, and it's typhoid from vapours, or lypyrias in which the inward parts are hot, and the outward cold; or gentle; it's cured, according to its cause, as from obstruction, & corruption of parts, &c. if it be a lypyrias it ariseth from an inward inflamma∣tion attracting the bloud from the outward parts.

3. Intermittent, which is caused, by vapours, arising from humours in the mesa∣raick veines, by putrefaction, and after emitted into the vena cava; invading by certain periods, and ceasing by excretion; it's cured by purgers, alterers, sudorificks, and topicks. It is, 1. Tertian in∣termittent, which is caused, by excrementitious choller putrifying in the mesaraick veines; afflicting the third day, with rigour,

which heat and other symptomes follow; it's cured by purgation, vomitories, venesection, preparers and concocters, appropriats, things acid, diureticks, sudorisicks, roborants, topicks, things hindering paroxismes, and a coole moistning diet, as ptisans, and other diet of good juyce and easy concoction: if it be a notha, the diet must be more copious, it being longer. 2. Quotidian intermit∣tent, which is caused by phlegme putrified in the mesaraick veines, and invadeth every day; it's cured, by clysters, vomits, preparers, purgers, sudorificks, and strengthners. 3. Quartan intermittent, which is caused by a melancholick humour in the mesaraick veines, and afflicteth the fourth day; its cured by purgers, venesection, preparation and concoction, vomits, opening of the haemorrhoids, sudorificks, specificks, humecting and attenuating diet, as sorbile eggs, chickens, goats flesh, veale, partridges, saxatile fishes, sweete almonds, prunes, ptisan, apples, rapes, drinking white wine, or beere well defecated, with herbs. 4.

3. Hectick, which is caused by heate so possessing the parts of the body; that though it be chearished by no cause yet it remaineth, and continually afflicteth; and it is with a tabes or without it, also it hath three degrees, the first when the rorid hu∣midity is consumed and dryed, the second when the carnose and adipose, the third when the fibrous, is exsiccated; it's cured, by things that humect and coole, as Juleps and emulsions, baths of sweet water, and milk tepid, inunctions, and topicks that coole applied to the heart liver and reines, cold and moist diet, of good juyce and easy of concoction, not soone dissipated, sc. ptisans, new eggs, chickens, kids flesh, fishes, almonds, the greater cold seedes, milk of women, asses, goats, and cows, snailes, restorative broths, collises, amygdalats, barly water with prunes liquorise and a little cinamō, & cold water in the beginning if complicate the causes are to be observed.
