And. this’ in the flefh cheSarcoporetick faculty performeth; inthe skin, the. cucifique or skin-breeding faculty: and fo inevery parc, Nature gener- atech a Medium of the fame kind, for che Agglutinating of that which was disjoyned. And this inded albeic chac ic be folely Nacures work ; yet che Phyfitian in the furtherance of this work isa Servant unto Nature; and checruthis, chat unlefs che Phyfitian ftrikein for Natures afliftance, fhe is in many things fruftraced of her end; neither can fhe effect the intended Conglutination. —
But now thofe chings that in this cafe are tobe done by the Phylitian, are reduced by Galen(in Art.Medic.Cb.90 junto four heads. Nature ber felf (faith be) caufetb to unite and grow together again thofe things that flood at diftance one from the otber, and fhe it is that re- floreth the priftine Unity : but now it #9 our part and work attuallyto apply and put togetber the extreams of the diftant parts, and being thus

And {fo in the Cure of Wounds, there are efpecially tour offices belonging tothe Phyfitian {pecified by Galon inthe place alleadged. Firit ofall, the Phy- fitian isco fee and take care, that norhing fal into the parc affected, which may hinderche Conglutination. Secondly, That che Ex- ¢reams in Unity diffolved may again be righr- ly conjoyned, and puc together in a due and fit manner the onecoche other; and the ex- treams thus Joyned together are fo to.be kepr, until Nature hath ddne her work: Thirdly, That fo the cempetamenct and che innate heat of the parc ic felf may the becrer be preferved, le is during the time of Ag- glucination co afford unto Nature all the ne- ceflary helpand affiftatice that he can by the beft of his skill and diligence. Unto which we may not unfitly adda fourch, to wit,cthat thofe Symptoms which may, and are wont tofupervene, may be prevenced and correa- ed, and all thofe things taken away which may be any the leaft imipediment to Nature in the Conglutinating of che Wound.

And firft of all, for what concernech the wounds we are now treating of, iftherebe any thing extraneous (as Clods of Bldod, or Haires, or any thing of the Nature of any fort of Weapons, or. {mal pieces of bones, or any thing elfe whatfoever from without) fhall chance co ftick inthe Wound, that is co be taken forth, and extracted. For they cannot poffibly become one, between which fomthing lieth thar is of a different kind: And indeed we are not only to draw forth of the wound (ac the very firft) all things thac are extraneous, but we mult likewife aftet- ward take great Care, left char aby thing from wichout fal into the wound.
When once all extraneous things ( if any fuch there were) are drawn forth, the lips of the Woundare then to be brought together; and Joyned clofe the one te che other; che which how it ought to be performed, we fhal by and by fhew you.
The parts that ftood at diftance being thits Conjoyned, all the reft of the work (ro wi, that chey may beuniced, and grow together inone,) isthe work of Nature alone.
