parated from che crue Skin, and blifters wal be rai- fed, inthe which chere wil be a cercain.cleer wa- tex contained : and oftentumes like wife fuddenly and ina moment the blifter.or bladder ysdifced up, and che very Skin it {elf is burne, dried up, fcorch- ed, and contra¢ted cogether 5 and yer notwarh= ftanding, there is.a] chis while no Cruft, or Efchar produced : buc at other,times che very Skin ac felf, yea and oftentimes the flefh thas lieth under, at as burnct, dried up, and an Efchar produced, and the Skin becomech black, lofech fomwhat of its fenfe and feeling; and afcer chat che Efchar is fallen off. chere is lefc behind an ulcer fufficiensly deep. For fire diffolveth the continuicy, and exciteth a pain ; and becaufe che moift parts inthe Skin are refolved by che force of che fire, andendeavor to ex{pire and breathe forch, but are ftil kepr in by the chicknefs of che Scarf-skin, chey lifcit up,and raife the bladder orblifter. Buc fomeimes again chere is by. che force of the fice {ome kind of bumi- dity left remaining 10 che part, from whence the Skin is concracted and drawn together : bur fom- times alfoche moifture of the pare is altogether diffipated. and driedup, andan Efchar is produ- ced: and this happenech according coche variety ofche chings chat burn. For Watrer burneth lefs ‘han the other ; and this Water likewife more or
le(s, according as it is more or Jefs hot. For ftub- |’
dle, ftraw, flax, and che hike, caufe no great and vehement burning, unlefs che burning be long con- tinued. But Oyl burnech more, and fo do Fats, Varnith, Picch, Honey,Wax. And the greateft and moft vehement of al burners, are Lead and Tin meltd, Iron and other Metals made red hot by the fice, as likewife the very actual Fire it felf, Gun-powder, and Lightening. And fo likewife >y how much the thicker the fubject matter of the
|thac ic bringethalong withit. For oftentimesan
Inflammation ofthe parc, yea even a Necrofis or Mortification (the Radical humidicy being con- fumed, and the Native heat diflipated) ariferh from thence, ulcers hard to cure are hkewife from chence excited, che motion. of the parc is abolifh- ed, and chere are filchy and deformed Cicatrices lefc remaining.
2. Burning by Lightening is likewife very dan- gerous, and for che mofft parc deadly.
3- By how much the purer the Body as, by fo much the moreeafily isthe burning cured. Bue if che Body be either Plechorick, or Cacochymi-
|cal, chen from the pain and heat there is very ea
fily caufed an afflux of the humors and from thence Inflammations, putrid ulcers, and other evils are excited.
4. The Burning is likewife fomtimes mote,and
fomeimes le{s dangerous, according to the Nacure and condirion of the parts affected. be buc only one part burnt, there is chen lefs dan-
gecchan if many parts, or the whol body be burne.
Fort when many parts, or che whol body be burnt, if is very care chat thepectons chus bucnt fhould ever be perfeétly wel and found; bus moft com- mouly they die miferably by the very vehemency of the Symptoms. 5. Ifthe burning be fo deep thac ic reach even unco the greater Veins, Arceries, and Nerves, it is then dangerous, For when the exficcated Vef- fels are conccaéted and fhut up, the blood and che {piric cannor chen flow unto the affected pare 5 from whence there is caufed an Atrophy; a Gan- grene,anda deprivation of fenfe and motion.
6. The burnings of che Abdomen are not cured without much difficulty: for che Skin as chere fofter 3 and chofe Mufcles by reafon of their va-
Fire is, and che'more its force and ftrength is auge | tious motions are vatioufly extended and contra-
mented by che concurrence of its many Atomes, |
and the more it is condenfed ; and laftly, by how much the longer the action of che Fire is continus ed, by {o much the greater the burning muft needs be. But ifthe fire be ina fubject more thin, and fo its Atomes be che more difperfed, and but licele
united, andif itsaction hikewife continue bur a,
fhorc time, then the burning is fo much the
le{s. Prognofticks.
Touching che Diagnoftick Signs there is no need that we {peak any thingaca]; fince chat che burning wil fufficiently mansfeft ic felf. Its De- grees likewife, and how farit hath gone, wal, fuf- ficiently appear by what was faid a liccle be- fore.
As for the Prognofticks : 1. By how much the lighter che Burning is, by fo much the more eafily it iscured, and {o much the lefs is che evil chat is bringeth along with ¢: buc by how much the burning is greater, by fo much the harder it is
ed.
7. If che burning reach even unto the Inteffines, it is chen deadly.
8. Theburning likewife of the Groyns 1s very dangerous, fince tbat chofe places are moult, and therefore the more fic co receive the afflux of bu- Mors.
g- The burnings of the Eyes are alfo dangerous. For although they be but lights yec nocwithftan- ding they may produce either a ftark blindnefs, or a deprivation of the fight , or at Jeaft a diminuu- on theréof.
10. Ifthe hairy parts be ever a whit grievoufly :
bucnc, they alwaies continue {mooath and flick : for hairs are nevergenerated in chat hard Cicatrice that is broughs over the affected part.
