Of the Syncope passion, or swounding through the cause of wounds.

GALEN saith, that Syncope is a sudden decay of strength, through immoderate evacuation, and vehement dolour, continuall watching and paine, intemperatenesse of the principall parts, or vehement perturbations of the minde; but Syn∣cope which followeth in wounds springeth of great effusion of bloud, or else of vehement dolour, and paine; the comming of it is perceived by the weaknesse, pulse, palenefle of face, cold sweats a∣bout the neck and temples; it is not lightly to be regarded because it commeth suddenly, and as the image of death, therefore the wounded man is to be comforted by all means possible; if you per∣ceive

this accident come, give the Patient a piece of fine white bread, dipped in the best Wine you can get, into which Wine put Rose-water & Ma∣nus Christi, and Burrage water, and give him of the Wine to drink, and comfort him with sweet smels, and chafe his temples with Rose-water, and if he begin to swound, cast cold water on his face, chafe and rub his temples with your bands, and pull him by the nose, thereby to revive and quicken his spirits.
