in every Scabies there is fome kind of mixcure of | the aduft and melancholy, hot and dry humor. | And furthermore, there is one fort of Scabies that | is moift, another chatisdry, The moift, in the! which there floweth forth a cettain maccer that 1s | moift, and withal cotcen, Alchy, and purulent 5 | but chedry is that in which chece is buc little or) none of che atorefaid maccer caft forrh, © And: concerning this lacceric is chat Galen feems co: {peak, asbeing {uch wherein chat melancholy hu- | mor doth more fupsrabound. But Avicen and | the reft of che Arabian Phyfitians underftand bereby al kind of Scabies whatfoever, Now al-- bec che next caufe of Scabies beahumor fharp | and fale; yes nocwithftanding Avicen doth not | aleopether abfurdly afferc chat blood is the matcer | of che Scabzes. For feeing chac Scabies is an Uniververial Affect of che whol Body, it cannot therefore eafsly proceed from any other humor, unlefs chat bicod be likewife therewith mingled 5 and yet notwithftanding the blood cannot proper- ly be faid tobe fimply the caule of Scabies; to wit, fo long as it retaineth ics benign and cempe- perace Nature. For whileft ic continueth benign and good, it can in no wile exciteand caufe the acching, newher yet chofe Ulcerous Tumors or Swellings, Wherefore, before {uch time as che blood can poflibly produce and breed the faid Scabies, ic muft of neceflicy be corrupred, and othec humors thac are fharp and biting therewith | mingled. And true it is indeed, that yellow Cholec is fharp and corroding, but then it lcarce= ly flowech in fo great abundance, or is of that | thicknefs as co excite fuch ike Tumors. But black Choler andtale Flegm are Humors very fic | and moft apt to produce ‘the {aid Scabies. Far thefe Hiumors being thick, hot and dry, and with-|

And hitherunto likewife-relatech the uncleannefs and naftinefs of the body, to wir; when there 1s altogether a neglect in the keeping it {weecand clean; and if the foulnefs and impu- ricies of the Ski be nor duly wafhed off, or the garments not fhitted and changed often enough 5 whereupon ic is, that filth and impuricies flicking in the fuperficies of che body do not permit fo free a paflage forth unto the excrements; and by thismeans che faid excrements acquire a cerrain acrimony, and focorrupt che otherhumors. The Scabies arifeth likewile fomcimes after a Crifis, and after Difeafes both acute, and thofe alforhac are of along continuances to wit, when Nature expellech forth unto.the Skin chofe naughty and depraved humors, which ic is notable any other way co. difcufs and evacuate. And laftly, Congie um is likewife accounted and reckoned up among the principal caufes of Scabies; which caule Galen alfo acknowledgeth, in his ficft Book of che Diffee rences of Feavers, Chap. 2. and Book-4. of the Differences of Pulfes, Chap. 3. For in che Su- perficies of the Skin of chofe that are Scabby there isa certain vi{cous and clammy moifture gachered together, which being either by the Apparel, or by fome other means communicated tothe body, corcupteth the humors therein, after che like man= ner, and producech che like Affe@tion, and that e(pecidlly in thefe bodies chac are now already difpofed unto che Scabies. _ And indeed the hue

The Canfe of this Malady is black Choler.

The Cure.
As for the Cure hereof: Seeing that Lepra isa Scabies in the higheft degree, ic therefore requir reth hkewife che-fame Medicaments that the Sca- bies doth; only chey muft be made fomwhat
| ftronger. Wherefore a good and fitting Diet be- ing ordained, the Body is to be evacuated ( as hath been faid ) che diftemper of che Liver to be cor- rected, and che matrer chat hath invaded the Skin isby Digeftives and cleanfing Medicaments to be taken quite away. And in che firft place, ic will not beamifs hereco provoke Sweating with che Decottion of Sarfaparilla, or Guajacum Wood, Tocleanfe, Galen ( inhis{ixch Book of the aa- king of fimple Medicaments) doth efpecially com— mend a Myrepfick Suppoficory ; which in regard that it bach avery ftrong aftringens power, ifiVi-
