of fome men are much hazarded and endan-/ gered, Cwhen they are broughe before the | Magiftrates in the publike Courts of juftice) | by Reafon of Wounds they gave unto others; and that oftentimes the Judges detire the}
‘Phy ficians Opinion touching the fame 5 great} Care anda diligent Endeavour ought'to be
ufed, that the Phyfitian give fotrue a Relati- on, and fo diftinctly deliver his Opinion touching the quality of the fatd W ounds,that the innocent may not be condenined, nor the
Guilty acquited. Bein ite firft place we areto know that
“nor every Wound which hath Death follo-
wine it is tobe called a Morcal wound, buc that alone which in ics own Nature bringech Death. Now fuch like wounds are twofold. For Morral or Deadly Cas Galen in the 5.B.of che \Apbor. Apbor..2. and Apb. 18. teachech us)is fomtimes taken and underftood of thofe wounds that are of neceflity deadly and fom- times-again of {uch W ounds as.are fo for the moft part, as Hzppocrates fpeaketh 3 and fuch as by Reafon of which (as the fame ‘Hippo- crat. maketh the limitation in the 18..4pbo- rifm, .6. Sett. in Coacis, oF his tract of Play- fters ) thofe that are wounded, almoft, or for the moft. part die: like as Galen ( in his 5-B. Apbor. 2.) writeth, that Deadly is'cto betaken fcr that that is dangerous, and is of- rentimes terminatedin Death. Buc the Que- ftion is here é{pecially of the former kinds for that wound that hath been at any cime Cured inothers cannot be takenfor a wound fimply Mortal andDeadly. But we fhall af- cerward tel you, whenitisto be taken and accounted for Mortal, or notMorral. And therefore, Secondly, Wounds cannot be ac- counted fimply Mortal, whereupon the fu- pervening of moft grievoussy mptoms(which faid Symptoms notwithftanding do not al- waies and neceflarily follow upon the recep- rion of thefe like wounds) the wounded per- fon dieth; as when in the Wounds of the Joyats, andthe Nervous parts, an inflamma- tion, Deliry, and other Symptoms happen ;
or that by Reafon of a Cacochymy lying fe-|
cretly inthe Body a, feaver.is kindled upon occalion of the Wound. And.icis altogether moft true, that many things often fal out thac render W ounds incurable,which in their own nature were curable. Like as. neither arethofe tobe accounted for Wounds fimply Morral, the Curing of whichis long protracted, & by Reafon of whichic-ac length happeneth that the Wounded perfon perifheth by,a flow and lingring Death; | when ae Lungs being Wounded) an Ulcer ahd the Confumption follow thereupon; or the Thorax;, or Stomack being wounded ;
which oftentimes after along ipace of ae
( aif «
become the Caufes of Death unto the woun. ded perfon. For whenas it'hach been obtfer- vedand known that thefe like Wounds have been healed in others, they cannot chen be accounted fer’ Wounds fimply Morcal, But thofe Wounds are only tobereputed fimply Mortal, «which in the tpace ofa few hours, or daies, do neceffarily .bring Death unro the fick perfon, and cannot be cured by, any Art. And therefore we areto diftinguifh becween Wounds Morraljand Wounds incurable. For all Morcal. Wounds are incurable, buc all Wounds that.areancurable cannot.be faid ce
che fame that happeneth |
be Mortal.. For Wounds incurable (,as we have told you) are al chofethat choughrthey cannot indeed be cured, yet norwathftanding they arenot fuddenly the Caufe of Deathun- to the wounded perfon, fincethac Calthough they cannot be healed) yet neverthéleis the fick perfon may afcer this tive not only many Weeks but even yeers alfo. And fuch alike Wound was that which Matthias Cornax(in his Epzftle Relponiory unto Dr Atgidims Her- togh. ) aud Fulms Al xandrinus Cin bes*Anne- tations upon the fixth Book of Galen bis ‘Meth, of Phyfick Chan 4.\) have defctibed datongy.

Buc thofe great Wounds, and fuch asare che Caufe thac che Animal fpirits be fuddenly diffipated, or that the blood beiig poured forth ofihe Vefiels the Orifice of the Nerves be quite itopped, and fo by this means the influx of che Animal Spirits be hindered; or thac from the fame an inflammation of the Brain, or a feaver be excited. And this is not only done by the Wounds of the very Brainicfelf, buc likewife by che ftrokes and vehement Contutions of the Head, by which the Veffels of the Brain ( and thofe neer about it) arebroken, and che Blood poured forch of rhem unto. che beginning of the Nerves, and there fubfifting hinder.the influx And this may alfo happen, ifthe Sinus or hollow places of che Brain chance tobe herr, fo that out of them blood be poured forth unto the Bafis of che

the wounded perfons are fuffocatred. And unco one of thefe four waies | conceive that ak kinds of Morcal Wounds may be refered, And therefore ifa Wound penetratednto any interior part of the Body, fothat thereupon the wounded perfon die within a fhort {pace of time, we are then to Judg thatchat Wound was Mortal; and if diligenc inquiry be made, Lam of Opinion that ic may be referred unco fome onc kind or other of thefe Morcal Wounds: whether that Wound hurt the vi- cal faculty ic felf immediatly 5 ore Me hurc ic by the intervening of fome other Difeafe, or Symptom.

Which yer nevercheleis is foco beunderftood, if the Wound neceffa- rily attract thac Difeafe, or that Symptom which 1s che Caufe of Death.
Buc as for all the other Wounds whatfo- ever that cannot be referred unto fome one of thefe manners, Iconceive that they cannoc fimply nor neceffarily be accounted Morcal.
