卷二·第九章·第二部　十二星座所主之病

PART. II.

第二部

What diseases distinctly are under every signe of the Zodiack.

哪些疾病各自归属黄道的每一个星座。

1. UNder Aries are all pushes, whelkes and pimples, freckles and Sun-burning in the face; the small pox and measles, polipus or noli me tangere; all diseases in the head, as head-ach of all sorts; vertigo, frenzie, litthargie, forgetfulnesse, catalepsie, apoplexie, dead palsie, coma, falling sicknesse, convulsions, cramps, madnesse, melancholy, trembling.

一、属白羊的有：脸上的一切脓疱、疙瘩与丘疹、雀斑与晒伤；天花与麻疹、息肉或“别碰我”；头部的一切病，如各种头痛；眩晕、谵狂、昏睡、健忘、僵直、中风、全身瘫痪、昏迷、癫痫、惊厥、抽筋、疯狂、忧郁、颤抖。

Amongst all these I can justly except but against one, which is small pox and measles.

在这些当中，我能理直气壮反驳的只有一条，就是天花与麻疹。

2 Under Taurus all diseases incident to the throat, as Kings evill, quinsy, soare throat, wenns in the neck, flux of rheume in the throat.

二、属金牛的，是喉部所遭的一切病，如瘰疬、喉痈、喉咙痛、颈上的肉瘤、喉部的黏液流注。

3 Diseases under Gemini are all such as are incident to the hands, arms and shoulders, whether they come really or by accident, as fractures, dislocations, and such as come by blood-letting, corruption of the blood, windinesse in the blood; and indeed I have often found by experience, that Gemini signifieth wind in the blood more then any other signe. I have now done with Gemini, after I have told you my owne opinion, which is, that the upper part of the shoulder, namcly that with which we carry burthens, is under Taurus, which is the Embleme of labour, and not under Gemini, as the common received opinion is.

三、属双子的病，是手、臂、肩所遭的一切病，不论是真生的病还是意外，如骨折、脱臼，以及放血引起的病；血液腐败、血中有风；说真的，我常凭经验发现，双子比其他任何星座都更主血中之风。说完我自己的意见，双子就讲完了：我认为肩的上部，就是我们用来扛重物的那部分，属金牛——金牛是劳作的象征——而不是像通常公认的那样属双子。

4 Under Cancer are all imperfections of the breast, stomack, or liver whatsoever, as also whatsoever are incident to the breasts of women, as Cancers there, and that inflamation, which women commonly call the imposthumes, plurifies, want of appetite to victuals, want of digegestion of Victuals, coldnesse and over-heat of the stomack, dropsies, coughes; you may find out the rest your selves; the rule is as plaine as the nose in a mans face.

四、属巨蟹的，是胸、胃或肝的一切毛病，还有妇女乳房所遭的一切病，如那里的癌肿，以及妇女通常称作“脓肿”的那种炎症；胸膜炎、不思饮食、食不消化、胃寒与胃热过度、水肿、咳嗽；其余的你们自己可以找出来，这条规则就像人脸上的鼻子一样明显。

5 Under Leo are all passions of the heart, as convulsions saith my Author.

五、我的作者说，属狮子的是心的一切病痛，如惊厥。

But if I may make so bold as to digresse a little, I shall tell you, and prove it too when I have done, That convulsions are not a disease of the heart, but of the braine.

但若容我放肆，稍稍岔开一下，我要告诉你们，而且说完还要证明：惊厥不是心的病，而是脑的病。

The truth is, it is one of old Aristotles opinions, which crept into his noddle, as he was marring Plato's Philosophy; The nerves have their originall from the braine; Convulsion is a plucking, or twitching of the nerves; ergo it is a disease of the braine and not of the heart.

实情是，这是老亚里士多德的意见之一，是他在糟蹋柏拉图哲学时钻进他脑袋里的。神经起源于脑；惊厥是神经的牵扯或抽动；所以它是脑的病，不是心的病。

But to returne to my purpose; under Leo, are all diseases the heart or back is subject to, as qualmes and passions, palpitation, and trembling of the heart, violent burning feavers, sore eyes, the yellow jaundies, and all diseases of choler, and such diseases as come of adustion of blood as the pestilence; and I am afraid London will find this too true so soon as Saturne comes into Leo. I pray God mitigate this evill influence toward them at that time.

回到我的本题：属狮子的，是心或背所易患的一切病，如心中发闷与病痛、心悸与心颤、猛烈的灼热热病、眼痛、黄黄疸，以及一切黄胆汁之病，还有由血液焦灼而来的病，如瘟疫；我担心土星一进狮子，伦敦就会发现这话太真了。愿上帝到那时减轻这股恶劣影响对他们的作用。

6 Under Virgo are all diseases incident to the bowels, the meseraick veins, the omentum the diaphragma, spleene. Take a few instances in this particular; wormes wind in the guts, obstructions, the cholick and iliack, passions, hardnesse of the spleen, hypondriack melancholy.

六、属处女的，是肠所遭的一切病，以及肠系膜静脉、网膜、横膈、脾的病。在这方面举几个例子：肠中生虫、肠中积风、阻塞、腹绞痛与回肠绞痛、脾脏硬结、季肋部的忧郁症。

7 Under Libra are diseases of the reines or kidnies which you please; for the significations of the word are the same; heat of the reines in women, which sometimes causeth death in travaile, many times abortion, alwayes hard labour; the stone or gravel in the reins. And now let me teach you a little, if Mars be significator of the disease, and in Virgo, it is the wind-cholick, without appearance either of gravell or ftone.

七、属天秤的，是“肾”或“腰子”的病，随你叫哪个，这两个词的意思是一样的；妇女的肾热，有时会在分娩时致死，常常导致流产，总是导致难产；肾里的结石或砂。现在让我稍稍教你们一点：若火星是病的征象星，又在处女，那就是风气性的腹绞痛，既不见砂，也不见石。

Have a care of your patient, least it turne to gravell in the kidneys when he comes into Libra, and to the stone of the bladder when he comes into the Scorpion.

当心你的病人：等火星进入天秤，可能转为肾里的砂；等他进入天蝎，可能转为膀胱的结石。

Your owne ingenuity, if you have any; you may by this example find out twenty more like to it.

若你们有点天分，就可以凭这个例子再找出二十个类似的来。

Lastly under Libra are all diseases coming of wind and corruptions of blood.

最后，属天秤的，还有一切由风气与血液腐败而来的病。

8 Under the Scorpion are gravell and stone in the bladder, inflammations and ulcers there, all difficulties of urine whatsoever; all imperfections of the urine, ruptures, fistulaes, hemorrhoids, the french pox, running of the reines, priapismus; all diseases that infect the privities of men or women.

八、属天蝎的，是膀胱的砂与石、那里的炎症与溃疡、一切排尿困难、一切小便的毛病、疝气、瘘管、痔疮、法国痘、淋浊、阳强不倒；凡侵染男女私处的一切病。

All diseases of the wombe, of which more for my Guide for women already in print.

子宫的一切病（关于这些，我已出版的《妇女指南》里讲得更多）。

9 Under Sagittarius are all diseases in thighes and hip; as the Sciatica &c. fistulaes in those places, heat of blood, pestilentiall feavers; and take this for a generall rule, that Leo and Sagittarius signifies fall from horses, and hurts by four-footed beasts; they being both of them signes of horseman-ship; besides Sagittarius prejudiceth the body by choler, heat, fire, and intemperance in sports.

九、属射手的，是大腿与髋部的一切病，如坐骨神经痛等等；这些部位的瘘管、血热、瘟疫性的热病；再把这当作一条通则记住：狮子与射手主从马上跌落、被四足兽所伤，因为两者都是骑术的星座；此外，射手还以黄胆汁、热、火以及游戏中的无节制损害身体。

10. Under Capricorne are all diseases in the knees and hams; as pains, sprains, fractures, and dislocations, leprosies, itch, scabs, all diseases of melancholie, and all tumours called Schirrus.

十、属摩羯的，是膝与腘窝的一切病，如疼痛、扭伤、骨折、脱臼；麻风、瘙痒、疥疮、一切黑胆汁之病，以及一切称为“硬瘤”的肿块。

11 Under Aquarius are all diseases incident to the Leggs and Ankles; all melancholy coagulated in the blood, cramps; and the truth is, thicknesse of blood most usually proceeds from this signe. Aske old Saturne and he will tell you the reason. By this the ingenuous have a plaine way to find out more; and by this Doctor Experience got materials to worke with.

十一、属水瓶的，是腿与踝所遭的一切病；凝结在血里的一切黑胆汁、抽筋；说实话，血液浓稠最常出于这个星座。去问老土星，他会告诉你原因。聪明人凭此就有一条明路去找出更多；经验医生也是靠这个得到了用功的材料。

12. Under Pisces is all lamenesse, aches and diseases incident to the feet, as gouts, kibes, childblains, &c. All diseases coming of salt flegme, mixt humours, scabs, itch, botches, and breakings out about the body, the small poxe and measles; all cold and moist diseases, and such as come by catching wett and cold at the feet.

十二、属双鱼的，是一切跛足、疼痛，以及足部所遭的病，如痛风、脚跟冻裂、冻疮等等。一切由咸黏液、混杂体液而来的病，疥疮、瘙痒、脓疖，以及身上的各种发疹，天花与麻疹；一切寒湿之病，以及因脚下受湿着凉而得的病。

And if you will be pleased but to consider the affinity Pisces holds with Aries, you will soon see a reason, why wet taken at the feet strikes so speedily up to the head.

只要你肯想一想双鱼与白羊之间的亲缘，你很快就会明白，为什么脚下受湿会那么快就冲到头上。

As for the houses of the heavens, they have the same significations with the signs; the first house with Aries, the second with Taurus, and so analogically till you come to the twelfth house, which hath the same significations that Pisces hath.

至于天上的宫，它们与星座意义相同：第一宫与白羊相同，第二宫与金牛相同，如此类推，直到第十二宫，它与双鱼意义相同。

I have now done with this part, onely be pleased to take notice that the fiery signs stir up diseases of choler; airie signes, diseases of blood and wind; earthly signes diseases of melancholy; watry signes diseases of flegme; signes of double bodies, diseases of mixt humours.

这一部分我讲完了，只请你们注意：火象星座激起黄胆汁之病；风象星座，血与风气之病；土象星座，黑胆汁之病；水象星座，黏液之病；双体星座，混杂体液之病。

And thus much for this part, the pains of which has been mine, the benefit shall be yours; if you will turne but idlenesse out of Doors, and place ingenuity in his room.

这一部分就讲到这里；辛劳是我的，好处归你们——只要你们肯把懒惰赶出门，把用心请进屋。
