A reafon fhould hkewife be rendered why the unguent fhould not perform che fame while ic isinthe box, which they fay it per- forms when ic is anoytited upon thie weapon. Forchey haveno ground to fay that by the benefit of chat balfam that is in the blood the vircue of the Medicament is carried and con- veyed unto the wound. For ifall chat whol blood were refolved into Aromes, ic wotld not be fufficient to fil up allthacfo greac a

tte blood can fend furth out of it felf any fuchfpecies. And if by che benefic of che blood the virtue of the Medicament may be carri¢duntothe wound, why fheuld ic not then likewife carry tothe wound the vittues of other things, intothe which out of woun- ded perfons the blood is oftentimes abun-= dantly poured out, which yet we fee chat it dothnotr, But now as for chofe things that they al-
others afcer a different manner, and of other | the ficft menftruous blood of Virgins, and as
things, as before we have fhewn you. the Unguent ought alfo coeffect mmny things, cowit, perform all chofe things that are Neceffary for the curing of the wound, pre- ferve the Wound free from pain, and like- wife bring pain upon ic if ic be noc rightly preferyed, orific chance cobedefiled. For if ic ought to perform all thac that is orher- wife che work of Nature in che curing of Wounds 5 there will be chen altovether’a necefliry that ic perform many things; to wit, thacic concott whatfoever istobe con- tocted chat itexpel the Pus andexcrements, andthatic generate fiefh. Yea moreover ic ought to perform the office both of the Phy- fitian, and alfo of che Medicaments, which is indeed very Vatious. For neither are all thofe bodies chat are Wounded alike difpo- fed; fome of them being found bodies, o-

prought and affetted, then to deny that they may atallbedone. Neither is this futhcient for the rejection of Medicaments, that there hath bin no mention made of them inthe Books-of the Ancients; for many moft ufeful Medicaments have been found out by thofe of latter times, that che Ancients were altogether ignorant of.’ Neither are they adminiftred for thar end chat Topicks are, or thofe potions of which Galen maketh mention, in his 4. B. of the “Meth. of Uuring, Chap.7; And therefore albeit. that chey donot externally reach fo
far as che wounded parcs, as other Lopicks 3,
yet nevertheleis, chey may chrough the

themfelves.’ Neither by Reafon of cheir

likely to breed obfttuctions iin the Bowels. For this inconvenience may eafily be Reme- died and avoided by the admixture of other things’ that: have in chem rather'a power of opening, then binding. « Neither laftly, are thevirtues of all Medicaments to be valued only from che: firft qualities, and fuchas arife from,and depend upon them ;. but from the properties chat arife from the whole fub- ftance, which are fuggeftedunctous only by experience. | Medicaments, although they cantor eafily be defined; buc may be manifefted by experi- ence 3 yet notwith{tandingin this all Auchors agree anions themtelves, chac rhefe ought not co be madeiule of in thebeginning, and when theve.is as yetno danger appearing by reafon of the Weund, and that Topicks are fufficient for che fuland perfect Cure; as like-
wife where there is prefenct a fever and an In-
flammation; which by rhe ufe ofthefe (they being for che moft part hot) may eafily be augmented: but as for ocher Caufes fo efpe- cially for this; to wit, che vicious Contti- tution of the parc, Wounds. oftentimes do not eafily receivea Cure; and thereupon it is that they may happily and fuccesfully be madeute of, not only in'Wounds, » but like- wife in Ulcers and Fiftula’s.: For it is a thing that is very much Material, how the wounded part andthe blood therein are dif- pofed ; and what things foeverthey are that hurr che W ound, chey all of chem are for the
