Jen afferts in his fifth Book couching the making of fimple Medicamencs, Chap. 17. For like as hea¢ attracts and dtaws, fo chat (whatever it be) thac iscold repels or drives back from ic felf. But then, look as whatever is hot is notin or of ic felf the principle of the local motion, or attraction, but only as we ule co fay, per accidens, or acci- dentally 5 co wit, as it refolves inco vapors che matter tna is moift, in che room and place whereof (left a vacuity fhould happen and foliow thereupon; which Nature evermore abhors, and wil by no means admic of ) chofe things chac are

Buc chen that coldnefs hath adjoyned with ic fomtimes humidity or moiftnefs, and fomtimes its contrary, ficcity ordrinefs. And hence ic is, thac of fuch Remedies as drive back
there are two forts or kinds: one moitt ! and cold, or waterifi; the other cold anddry, or earthy 5 and as Galen tels us in, che Book next before alleadged, ic hath conjoyned with ica thickne(s of siee parts. Such asare of the latter fort, fince chat befides cheic coldnefs chey have likewife an aftrirgent power, they therefore with a double force, as by cheir coldnefs, fo alfo by their aftringent faculty, do che more ftronply and vigoroufly repel and driveback. Bue chen thofe cold and moift Repellers are more mild and gentle, which cherefore have power only to drive
Repellers twofold
back che thin humors thac are feared in the fupers |
ficies, and then alfo when cheie is no great ftore ofthem; and they are commodioufly admini- ftred when heat and pain affli&tsche part. For they do sot only oppofe and refift the influx of thebumors, butchey alfoallay che hear, and by relaxation dofomthing mitigate and affwape che pain. Buc Repellers wich aftriction are proper in other cafes 3 and chiefly ifche fluxion proceed
from che debilicy of the parts, and that che pain

And they pro- fic ikewife, if the Veffels chrough which che blood floweth be wide and large, like as when the Veffels are fmal and ftreight the gentler fore of Repellers are {ufficient, Of che former kind are, Houfleek, Wall-Penywore, Letcice, Purflane,

iet inacuce Difeafes, chap.10. The blood (faich he) muft be drawn away (o far forth, and fo Jong, until i flow forth more red, and much yellower, or that inftead ofa ruddy color it appear co be of a:livid, or leaden-like color. For (as Galen chere cels us) whacfoever blood is contained in a Phleg- mone, shat fame will be changéd in ts color through che abundance of heat, but che reft will all ofit continue alike in all pares of cle body. And for this caufe, that blood which is contained in that fide chat is afflicted and inflamed with a Pblegmone muft needs be much more red and
throughout the whol body 3 efpecially if che bo- dy be pituitous or Phlegmy. _ Now if the blood tha is diffufed into che whol body appear co be al of it of a more ruddy color chan ordinary without doubr then that which accompanieth che Phleg- mone, boyled and burne as ic is, muft needs be changed inco ablack hiew. And from hence it is, that achange inthe color denotes and fignifies a tranflacion of the blood from out of the parcaffe- Ged; which faid. change nocwichftanding ‘is not evermore co be expected, if ftcength be wanting tn che Pacienc. : And after fuch like waies as thefe may the Hu- mors that flowing forth together unto a part géne- race therea Phlegmone be removed from che ag*
