Of the disposition of the outward mem∣bers. Cap. xxxv.

If two great grefes do happē in

dyuers members at one time, the greater taketh away the lesse.

Paynes in the knees and loynes, or grypinge in the bealy commyng vpon hym that hath no age we, do signifie that he should be purged do wnewarde.

In painfull feuers apostumes do often happen about the knees and cheekes.

The sicknesse shal chefely remayn in that place which was greued be∣fore it beganne.

The ioyntes of such as haue had a feuer for a long season, shall ake & be full of pustules.

Great paines & swellings in the ioyntes with any breaking or issue do signifie that the gout or crampe shall folow, and many be remedied with much washing with cold wa¦ter, for that doth extenuate the hu∣mor and take away the paynes, for a meane cold extinguisheth.

Letting of bloud doth vtterly take away such paines as begin at the back, & thēce remoue to the armes. Enuches be neuer bald nor gouty.

Women haue neuer the goute as long as they haue their floures.

A child hath neuer the goute vn∣till he hath knowen a woman.

Al kynd of goutes (if the inflam∣mation be quenched) within fortie dayes do end.

All goutes do chiefly raygne in spring time and haruest.

If the hippe bone fall out of hys place after a long sciatica, ther shall muche matter follow, or the legge wil consume away, and the pacient shall halt, except he be brenned.
