The cause.

THis disease happeneth when there is a relaxation, or resolution of the muscles which closeth the fundament: Now the cause hereof is too much moistnes & softnes, which doth frequently fol∣low a flux of the belly: or it may come from a sodain cold, or by too much straining when children go to stool, especially when the body is bound whereby the fundament cometh forth and cannot return into his place again; which doth easily happen in children, because their bodies are moist and soft, and the muscles as yet but loose and languid, or weak.

The signs are manifest.
