CHAP.
I.
What
the
Plague
is
.
THe
antient
Phisitians
in
times
past
have
greatly
doubted
,
what
the
essentiall
cause
of
this
disease
,
which
we
commonly
call
the
Plague
or
Pestilence
,
should
be
;
yet
all
doe
agree
,
that
it
is
a
pernitious
and
contagious
Fever
,
and
reckoned
to
be
one
of
the
number
of
those
which
are
called
Epidemia
,
chiefly
proceeding
of
adusted
and
melancholy
bloud
,
which
may
be
easily
perceived
,
by
the
extream
heat
and
inflammation
,
which
inwardly
they
doe
feel
,
that
are
infected
therewith
;
first
assaulting
the
heart
,
and
astonishing
the
vitall
spirits
,
as
also
by
the
exteriour
Carbunkles
and
botches
which
it
produceth
;
whose
malignity
is
such
,
both
in
young
and
old
,
rich
and
poor
,
noble
and
ignoble
,
that
using
all
the
meanes
,
which
by
Art
can
,
or
may
be
devised
,
yet
in
some
it
will
in
no
sort
give
place
,
untill
it
hath
by
death
conquered
the
party
infected
therewith
.
CHAP.
II.
Cause
of
the
Plague
.
THere
are
divers
causes
whereof
this
disease
may
proceed
,
as
sundry
Writers
doe
alledge
,
as
by
over
great
and
unnaturall
heat
and
drought
,
by
great
rain
and
inundations
of
waters
,
or
by
great
store
of
rotten
and
stinking
bodies
,
both
of
men
and
beasts
,
lying
upon
the
face
of
the
earth
unburied
,
as
in
the
time
of
warres
hath
been
seen
,
which
doth
so
corrupt
the
air
,
as
that
thereby
our
Corn
,
Fruits
,
Hearbs
,
and
Waters
,
which
we
daily
use
for
our
food
and
sustenance
,
are
infected
:
also
it
may
come
by
some
stinking
dunghils
,
filthy
and
standing
pooles
of
water
,
and
unsavory
smels
which
are
near
the
places
where
we
dwell
,
or
by
thrusting
a
great
company
of
people
into
a
close
,
narrow
,
or
streight
room
,
as
most
commonly
we
see
in
Ships
,
common
Gaoles
,
and
in
narrow
and
close
lanes
and
streets
,
where
many
people
doe
dwell
together
,
and
the
places
not
orderly
kept
clean
and
sweet
.
But
most
commonly
,
in
this
our
time
,
it
is
dispersed
amongst
us
,
by
accompanying
our selves
with
such
as
either
have
,
or
lately
have
had
the
disease
themselves
,
or
at
least
have
been
conversant
with
such
as
have
been
infected
therewith
:
But
for
the
most
part
it
doth
come
by
receiving
into
our
custody
some
clothes
,
or
such
like
things
,
that
have
been
used
about
some
infected
body
,
wherein
the
infection
may
lie
hidden
a
long
time
,
as
hath
been
too
too
often
experimented
,
with
repentance
too
late
in
many
places
,
It
may
also
come
by
Dogs
,
Cats
,
Pigs
,
and
Weasels
,
which
are
prone
and
apt
to
receive
and
carry
the
infection
from
place
to
place
.
But
howsoever
it
doth
come
,
let
us
assure
our selves
,
that
it
is
a
just
punishment
of
God
,
laid
upon
us
for
our
manifold
sins
and
transgressions
against
his
divine
Majesty
:
for
as
Seneca
saith
,
Quicquid
patimur
ab
alto
venit
,
What
crosses
or
afflictions
soever
we
suffer
,
it
cometh
from
the
Lord
,
either
for
a
triall
of
our
faith
,
or
a
punishment
for
our
sins
.
Wherefore
to
distinguish
any
farther
thereof
I
think
it
needlesse
,
for
my
intent
is
in
breif
sort
,
so
exactly
as
I
can
,
to
shew
the
meanes
how
to
prevent
the
same
,
as
also
how
to
cure
it
when
we
are
infected
.
But
before
I
enter
to
treat
thereof
,
I
think
it
not
amisse
,
to
shew
what
forewarnings
and
tokens
are
given
us
before
hand
of
the
coming
thereof
,
thereby
the
better
to
prevent
the
same
by
prayer
and
repentance
.
CHAP.
III.
Warnings
of
the
Plague
to
come
.
AVicen
,
a
noble
Physitian
saith
,
that
when
wee
see
the
naturall
course
of
the
ayre
,
and
seasons
of
the
year
to
be
altered
,
as
when
the
spring
time
is
cold
,
clowdy
,
and
dry
,
the
harvest
time
stormy
,
and
tempestuous
,
the
mornings
and
evenings
to
be
very
cold
,
and
at
noon
extream
hot
,
these
do
foreshew
the
Plague
to
come
.
Also
when
we
see
fiery
impressions
in
the
firmament
,
especially
in
the
end
of
summer
,
as
comets
and
such
like
,
and
that
in
the
begining
of
harvest
we
see
great
store
of
little
frogs
,
red
to
ades
,
and
myse
on
the
earth
abounding
extraordinarily
:
or
when
in
summer
we
see
great
store
of
toades
creeping
on
the
earth
having
long
tailes
,
of
an
ashy
color
on
their
backs
,
and
their
bellies
spotted
and
of
divers
colours
,
and
when
we
see
great
store
of
gnats
swiming
on
the
waters
,
or
flying
in
great
companies
together
,
or
when
our
trees
and
hearbs
do
abound
with
Caterpillars
,
Spiders
,
Moaths
&c.
which
devoure
the
leaves
on
the
trees
and
hearbs
on
the
earth
,
it
sheweth
the
ayre
to
be
corrupt
,
and
the
Plague
shortly
after
to
follow
.
Also
by
the
beasts
of
the
field
we
may
perceive
it
(
especially
sheep
)
which
will
go
mourning
with
their
heads
hanging
down
towards
the
ground
,
and
divers
of
them
dying
without
any
manifest
cause
known
unto
us
.
Also
when
we
see
young
Children
flock
themselves
together
in
companies
,
and
then
will
faine
some
one
of
their
company
to
be
dead
amongs
them
,
and
so
will
solemnize
the
buriall
in
a
mournfull
sort
,
this
is
a
token
which
hath
been
well
observed
in
our
age
to
foreshew
great
mortality
at
hand
.
Also
when
we
see
rivers
of
water
to
overflow
without
any
manifest
cause
,
or
suddenly
vanish
away
and
become
dry
:
And
when
clear
well-springs
do
suddenly
become
foule
and
troubled
.
Also
when
the
small-Pox
doth
generally
abound
both
in
young
and
old
people
,
all
these
do
foreshew
the
Plague
to
come
.
CHAP.
IIII.
Sheweth
how
to
prevent
the
Plague
.
THere
are
three
principall
meanes
how
to
prevent
this
contagious
disease
:
The
first
and
chiefest
is
to
acknowledge
our
manifold
sins
and
wickedness
unto
almighty
God
our
heavenly
Father
,
with
a
hearty
repentance
and
amendment
of
our
former
sins
committed
against
his
divine
majestie
.
The
second
means
is
to
fly
far
off
from
the
place
infected
,
and
as
Rondoletius
saith
,
not
over
hastily
to
return
thither
again
for
fear
of
an
after-clap
:
which
saying
is
confirmed
by
Valetius
in
these
words
,
Non
enim
morietur
in
bello
,
qui
non
est
in
illo
:
and
the
farther
from
it
,
the
safer
shall
we
be
,
yet
were
it
a
very
uncharitable
course
that
all
which
are
of
abillity
should
do
so
,
for
then
how
should
the
poor
be
relieved
,
and
good
orders
observed
:
but
for
Children
it
were
best
to
send
them
far
off
from
the
place
,
because
their
bodies
are
most
apt
to
receive
the
infection
,
as
also
for
that
they
cannot
so
continually
use
antidots
and
preservatives
,
which
by
their
great
heat
may
indanger
them
almost
so
much
as
the
disease
it self
.
The
third
meanes
consisteth
chiefly
in
three
points
,
which
are
these
:
Order
,
Diet
,
and
Physicall
helps
.
For
the
first
you
shall
have
a
care
that
your
houses
be
kept
clean
and
sweet
,
not
suffering
any
foule
and
filthy
clothes
or
stinking
things
to
remain
in
or
about
the
same
:
and
in
summer
season
to
deck
your
windowes
,
and
strow
your
floors
with
sweet
and
wholsom
hearbs
,
floures
,
and
leaves
,
of
Mints
,
Balme
,
Penniroyall
,
Lavender
,
Time
,
Majoram
,
red-Roses
,
Carnations
,
Gelliflowers
and
such
like
for
your
windowes
,
your
floors
to
be
strowed
with
green
Rushes
,
and
Mints
,
Oaken
and
Willow
leaves
,
Vine
leaves
and
such
like
:
your
windowes
which
stand
towards
the
North
and
East
,
do
you
alwaies
keep
open
in
the
day
time
,
if
the
ayre
be
clear
,
and
that
no
infected
and
unsavory
smell
be
near
the
same
,
as
Fogs
,
dunghils
,
&c.
and
every
morning
before
you
open
either
your
doors
,
or
windowes
,
as
also
in
the
evening
when
you
go
to
bed
,
cause
a
good
fire
to
be
made
in
your
Chamber
,
and
burn
some
odoriferous

and
so
in

fume
or

then
with

you
must
make

spread

must

There
are
some
writers
which
doe
utterly
forbid
the
wearing
of
Arsenike

but
thus
much
I
can
say
,
that
I
have
given
this
bag
unto
divers
to
wear

with
most
happie

good
successe

never

I
Must
here
give
you
to
understand
that
the
infection
doth
oftentimes
lie
hidden
within
us
,
without
any
manifest
sign
or
knowledge
thereof
at
the
first
,
and
therefore
were
it
good
for
sanguine
bodies
,
and
such
as
do
abound
with
bloud
,
in
the
summer
season
to
draw
six
or
eight
ounces
of
bloud
out
of
the
Basilica
vein
in
the
right
arme
,
which
is
a
good
meanes
to
prevent
a
further
danger
,
(
as
Avicen
witnesseth
)
but
for
full
and
plethorick
bodies
,
it
were
best
to
purge
themselves
once
in
seven
or
eight
daies
with
some
easie
and
gentle
purgation
,
as
hereafter
●…
will
shew
you
:
but
for
leane
and
spare
bodies
,
once
in
fourteen
dayes
will
be
enough
at
most
:
for
wisely
saith
Rondoletius
,
that
it
is
not
onely
the
venemous
and
contagious
ayre
which
we
receive
that
doth
kill
us
,
but
it
is
the
present
communicating
of
that
contagion
with
some
superfluous
humours
in
our
bodies
,
as
in
his
treatise
De
Peste
appeareth
:

now

Issues
commended
against
the
Plague
.
IN
plethorick
and
full
bodies
,
I
have
found
nothing
more
safer
in
the
time
of
the
Plague
,
then
to
make
them
an
artificial
Issue
,
either
in
the
leg
or
arm
,
for
never
hitherto
have
I
known
any
one
which
hath
had
an
Issue
,
or
Ulcer
running
on
him
that
hath
been
infected
with
the
plague
.
Palmarius
and
Forestus
,
doe
both
affirm
it
to
be
true
and
certain
,
but
here
some
ignorant
people
doe
hold
opinion
that
having
once
an
Issue
,
he
must
be
constrained
to
keep
it
alwaies
,
which
is
most
erronious
,
for
then
those
which
have
had
Ulcers
running
upon
them
,
some
six
,
ten
,
yea
sixteen
yeers
,
may
not
be
cured
without
some
Issue
to
be
made
in
some
other
place
,
but
therein
they
deceive
themselves
,
for
my self
by
good
proof
have
often
found
the
contrary
in
divers
people
which
I
have
cured
,
some
six
,
some
ten
,
yea
sixteen
yeers
past
,
and
yet
to
this
day
doe
remain
in
perfect
good
health
without
any
Issues
.
CHAP.
IX
.
What
Diet
we
ought
to
keep
.
FOr
our
diet
as
Hippocrates
teacheth
us
,
we
must
have
a
care
not
to
exceed
in
eating
and
drinking
but
to
keep
a
mean
therein
,
and
in
any
case
to
beware
of
surfeting
and
drunkenness
,
which
are
enemies
both
to
the
body
and
soule
,
but
as
we
may
not
exceed
in
eating
and
drinking
,
so
to
endure
great
hunger
and
thirst
is
most
dangerous
,
our
meat
ought
to
be
of
a
facile
and
easie
digestion
,
partly
tending
to
a
drying
qualitie
;
as
Cocks
,
Capons
,
Hens
,
Pullets
,
Partridge
,
Pheasants
,
Quailes
,
Pigeons
,
Rabbets
,
Kid
,
Veal
,
Mutton
,
Birds
of
the
Mountains
,
and
such
like
;
but
Beef
,
Pork
,
Venison
,
Hare
and
Goats
flesh
is
to
be
refused
,
and
so
are
all
water
fowls
,
as
Duck
,
Swan
,
Goose
,
Widgen
,
Teal
,
and
such
like
,
because
they
are
hard
to
digest
,
and
do
increase
ill
blood
,
and
naughtie
juyce
in
the
bodie
:
Lambs
flesh
,
because
of
his
exceeding
moisture
is
also
to
be
refused
,
Eggs
in
the
Summer
not
good
,
but
in
Winter
tolerable
:
All
Fishes
which
are
of
a
hard
flesh
,
whether
they
be
of
the
Sea
,
or
fresh
Rivers
are
to
be
allowed
.
In
fresh
Rivers
the
Perch
,
Barble
,
Gudgeon
,
Loch
,
Cool
,
Trout
,
and
Pike
are
good
;
and
for
Sea
fish
,
the
Gilthed
,
Turbet
,
Sole
,
Rochet
,
Gurnard
,
Lobster
,
Crab
,
Praunes
,
Shrimps
,
Whiting
,
and
such
like
eaten
with
vinegar
.
There
are
some
Authors
which
hold
opinion
,
that
Fish
is
better
to
be
eaten
then
flesh
in
the
great
fervent
heat
of
the
year
,
because
they
doe
make
a
more
cold
bloud
in
the
body
then
flesh
;
another
reason
is
,
because
they
doe
live
under
the
water
,
they
are
not
infected
with
any
contagion
of
the
aire
,
as
Beasts
and
birds
may
be
,
and
therefore
more
wholsome
,
but
in
my
judgement
flesh
is
more
wholsome
,
because
it
doth-breed
a
more
pure
,
and
fine
Juyce
in
the
body
then
any
Fish
whatsoever
;
your
bread
ought
to
be
made
of
pure
wheat
,
not
too
new
,
nor
too
old
,
but
of
one
dayes
baking
,
or
two
at
most
is
best
:
Rie
bread
is
to
be
eschewed
,
because
of
his
great
moisture
:
your
drink
is
best
beer
or
ale
,
not
too
strong
or
new
,
but
the
staler
and
clearer
it
is
the
better
,
at
your
meals
a
draught
or
two
of
Claret
wine
is
tolerable
,
but
in
hot
weather
it
were
good
to
allay
it
with
a
little
water
,
for
wine
doth
warm
the
stomack
,
help
digestion
,
and
comfort
the
heart
.
For
your
Pottage
you
may
take
in
the
Summer
.
Parsly
,
Lettice
,
Sorrell
,
Endive
,
Succorie
,
Sperage
,
Hopbuds
,
Burnet
,
Burrage
,
Buglosse
,
Thime
,
Mints
,
Hysop
,
but
in
Winter
,
Balm
,
Bittanie
,
Thime
,
Marigold
,
Hysop
,
Majoram
,
Mints
and
Rue
are
good
.
For
your
Sallets
take
Pimpernell
,
Purslane
,
Mints
,
Sorrell
,
Hore-hound
,
Yong
cole
,
Hop
▪
buds
,
Sperage
,
Thime
,
Tops
of
Fennell
,
Tarregon
,
Lettice
,
and
Water-cresses
are
good
.
Capers
are
greatly
commended
being
preserved
in
Vinegar
,
and
eaten
with
a
little
oyle
and
vinegar
,
and
so
are
Olives
very
good
also
.
For
your
sauce
,
the
juyce
of
a
Limon
,
Citron
,
or
Orange
is
best
,
the
juyce
of
Sorrell
and
Vinegar
is
also
good
.
All
raw
fruits
are
to
be
refused
,
except
those
which
tend
to
sour
tast
,
as
Pomgranates
,
damask
Prunes
,
Pippins
,
red
and
sour
Cherries
,
and
Wallnuts
,
Quinces
,
and
Peares
preserved
are
very
good
eaten
after
meals
.
All
kind
of
Pulse
is
to
be
refused
,
as
Beans
,
Pease
,
and
such
like
,
because
they
increase
winde
,
and
make
raw
humours
and
ill
juyce
in
the
bodie
.
Refrain
from
Garlick
,
Onyons
,
Leeks
,
Pepper
,
Mustard
,
and
Rocket
,
because
they
doe
over-heat
the
body
,
make
adustion
of
the
bloud
,
and
cause
fumes
to
ascend
into
the
head
.
Cheese
is
not
good
,
because
it
doth
ingender
grosse
and
thick
humors
.
Milk
is
also
to
be
refused
,
because
it
doth
quickly
corrupt
in
the
stomack
.
CHAP.
X.
Sheweth
what
Exercise
and
Order
is
to
be
kept
.
YOu
must
beware
of
all
vehement
and
immoderate
exercise
,
which
doth
provoke
sweat
,
as
is
Tennis
,
dancing
,
leaping
,
running
,
foot-ball
,
hurling
,
and
such
like
,
because
they
doe
over-much
heat
the
body
,
and
open
the
Pores
of
respiration
,
whereby
the
infected
aire
hath
the
more
scope
to
enter
our
bodies
,
but
moderate
exercise
is
very
convenient
,
the
use
of
hot
houses
at
this
time
I
thinke
very
dangerous
,
because
it
doth
too
much
open
the
pores
.
Walk
not
into
the
open
ayre
in
the
morning
before
the
Sun
hath
had
some
power
to
cleanse
and
clear
the
same
,
and
in
any
case
goe
not
abroad
when
great
fogs
and
mists
are
upon
the
earth
,
for
it
is
dangerous
:
but
if
urgent
occasions
move
you
,
then
before
you
goeforth
of
your
doors
be
sure
to
eat
some
preservative
first
,
and
then
take
some
good
and
odoriferous
Pomander
,
Nodule
,
or
Nosegay
in
your
hand
,
as
before
is
shewed
you
.
The
extream
heat
of
the
day
is
likewise
to
be
refused
to
walk
in
,
because
it
chafeth
the
bloud
;
as
also
in
the
evening
after
the
Sun
is
set
,
for
then
unsavory
and
unwholsome
Fogs
arise
out
of
the
earth
,
and
in
any
case
if
you
can
avoid
it
come
not
neer
any
any
place
infected
,
but
use
to
walk
in
the
open
aire
and
dry
ground
.
Use
Venus
combates
moderately
,
but
none
at
all
were
better
,
the
best
time
to
use
them
is
three
or
four
hours
after
supper
,
before
you
sleep
,
and
then
rest
upon
them
.
Beware
of
anger
,
fear
,
and
pensiveness
of
the
minde
,
for
by
their
means
the
body
is
made
more
apt
to
receive
the
infection
.
Use
pleasant
and
merry
recreations
,
either
with
musick
,
pleasant
company
to
talke
withall
,
or
reading
some
good
books
.
Bewar
of
sleeping
at
noon
,
but
specially
in
the
Winter
season
,
but
in
Summer
to
take
after
dinner
a
nap
of
half
an
hour
or
an
hour
is
tollerable
in
elderly
bodies
.
Watch
not
long
in
the
evenings
but
two
or
three
hours
after
supper
is
a
good
time
to
take
your
rest
.
CHAP.
XI
.
Teacheth
what
orders
Magistrates
,
and
Rulers
of
Cities
and
Townes
,
should
cause
to
be
observed
,
FIrst
,
To
command
that
no
stinking
dunghills
be
suffered
near
the
City
.
Secondly
,
Every
evening
and
morning
in
hot
weather
to
cause
cold
water
to
be
cast
in
the
streets
,
especially
where
the
infection
is
,
and
every
day
to
cause
the
streets
to
be
kept
clean
and
sweet
,
and
cleansed
from
all
filthy
things
which
lye
in
the
same
.
Thirdly
,
And
whereas
the
infection
is
entered
,
there
to
cause
fires
to
be
made
in
the
streets
every
morning
and
evening
,
and
if
some
Frankincense
,
Pitch
,
or
some
other
sweet
thing
be
burnt
therein
,
it
will
be
much
the
better
.
Fourthly
,
Suffer
not
any
Doggs
,
Catts
,
or
Pigs
to
run
about
the
streets
,
for
they
are
very
dangerous
,
and
apt
to
carry
the
infection
from
place
to
place
.
Fifthly
,
Command
that
the
excrements
and
filthy
things
which
are
voided
from
the
infected
places
be
not
cast
into
the
streets
or
rivers
which
are
daily
in
use
to
make
drink
,
or
dresse
meat
.
Sixtly
,
That
no
Chirurgians
,
or
Barbars
which
use
to
let
bloud
,
do
cast
the
same
into
the
streets
or
rivers
.
Seventhly
,
That
no
Vauts
or
Privies
be
then
emptied
,
for
it
is
a
most
dangerous
thing
.
Eighthly
,
That
all
●…nholders
do
every
day
make
clean
their
stables
,
and
cause
the
dung
and
filth
therein
to
be
carried
away
out
of
the
City
:
for
by
suffering
it
in
their
houses
,
as
some
do
use
to
do
,
a
whole
week
or
a
fortnight
,
it
doth
so
putrifie
that
when
it
is
removed
,
there
is
such
a
stinking
and
unwholsome
smell
,
as
is
able
to
infect
the
whole
street
where
it
is
.
Ninthly
,
To
command
that
no
Hemp
or
●…lax
be
kept
in
water
near
the
City
or
Town
,
for
that
will
cause
a
very
dangerous
and
infectious
savour
.
Tenthly
to
have
a
speciall
care
,
that
good
and
wholsome
Victuals
and
Corn
be
sold
in
the
markets
,
and
so
to
provide
,
that
no
want
thereof
be
in
the
City
,
and
for
such
as
have
not
wherewithall
to
buy
necessary
food
,
that
there
to
extend
their
charitable
and
godly
devotion
:
for
there
is
nothing
that
will
more
increase
the
Plague
,
then
want
and
scarsity
of
necessary
food
.
Eleventhly
,
To
command
that
all
those
which
do
visite
and
attend
the
sick
,
as
also
all
those
which
have
the
sicknesse
on
them
,
and
do
walk
abroad
,
that
they
do
carry
something
in
their
hands
,
thereby
to
be
known
from
other
people
.
And
here
I
must
advertise
you
of
one
thing
more
which
I
had
almost
forgotten
(
which
is
)
that
when
the
infection
is
but
in
few
places
,
there
to
keep
the
people
in
their
houses
,
not
suffering
any
one
of
them
to
go
abroad
,
and
so
to
provide
,
that
all
such
necessaries
as
they
shall
need
may
be
brought
unto
them
during
the
time
of
their
visitation
:
and
when
it
is
staied
,
then
to
cause
all
the
clothes
,
bedding
,
and
other
such
things
as
were
used
about
the
sick
,
to
be
all
burnt
,
although
at
the
charge
of
the
rest
of
the
Inhabitants
you
buy
them
all
new
,
for
fear
least
the
danger
which
may
ensue
thereby
,
do
put
you
to
a
far
greater
charge
and
grief
:
all
these
aforesaid
things
are
most
dangerous
,
and
may
cause
a
generall
infection
,
to
the
destroying
of
a
whole
City
,
and
therefore
I
do
wish
that
great
care
be
had
thereof
.
CHAP.
XII
.
Doth
shew
what
you
must
do
when
you
go
to
visit
the
sick
.
FIrst
before
you
enter
into
the
house
,
command
that
a
great
fire
be
made
in
the
chamber
where
the
sick
lieth
,
and
that
some
odoriferous
perfume
be
burnt
in
the
midest
of
the
chamber
,
and
before
you
go
to
him
,
eat
some
cordiall
preservative
,
and
smother
your
clothes
with
some
sweet
perfume
,
then
wet
your
temples
,
eares
,
nose
,
and
mouth
,
with
Rose-water
and
Vinegar
mixt
together
,
then
take
in
your
mouth
a
peice
of
the
root
of
Angelica
,
the
rind
of
a
sower
Citron
,
or
a
Clove
prepared
as
before
is
shewed
,
and
have
some
Nosegay
,
Nodule
,
or
Pomander
,
appropriate
in
your
hand
,
which
you
must
alwaies
smell
unto
,
so
may
you
the
more
bouldlier
perform
your
intent
:
but
herewithall
you
must
have
a
speciall
care
,
that
during
the
time
you
are
with
the
sick
,
you
stand
not
betwixt
the
sick
body
and
the
fire
,
for
that
is
dangerous
;
because
that
the
fire
of
his
nature
draweth
all
vapors
unto
it self
;
but
keep
you
alwaies
on
the
contrary
side
,
so
that
the
sick
may
be
betwixt
you
and
the
fire
:
and
for
such
as
are
to
let
any
sick
infected
body
to
bleed
,
it
were
good
they
did
cause
the
keeper
of
the
sick
body
to
lay
open
that
arme
or
legg
which
is
to
be
let
bloud
before
he
approach
near
:
the
reason
is
,
for
that
most
commonly
all
that
are
sick
in
this
contagious
disease
,
are
for
the
most
part
in
a
sweat
,
and
therefore
suddenly
to
receive
the
breath
thereof
,
would
be
very
dangerous
.
Now
when
you
have
been
with
any
one
so
infected
,
before
you
go
into
the
company
of
any
whole
and
sound
people
,
it
were
necessary
you
do
stand
by
a
good
fire
,
having
all
the
clothes
about
you
which
you
did
wear
when
you
were
with
the
sick
,
and
then
turn
and
aire
your selfe
well
thereby
,
so
shall
you
be
sure
the
lesse
to
endanger
others
by
your
company
.
Thus
have
I
as
breefly
as
I
can
devise
set
down
all
the
ordinary
meanes
which
my self
have
used
,
and
by
others
known
to
be
used
for
preserving
you
from
this
contagious
and
dangerous
disease
,
which
in
the
most
part
of
people
will
suffice
,
but
for
such
as
dwell
whereas
they
may
have
the
counsell
of
a
learned
Physitian
,
I
do
wish
them
to
take
his
advice
,
especially
for
purging
and
letting
bloud
,
because
none
can
so
exactly
set
down
in
writing
the
perfect
course
thereof
(
which
may
be
understood
rightly
of
the
common
sort
)
so
well
as
he
which
hath
the
sight
of
the
body
:
for
that
many
bodies
are
oftentimes
troubled
with
some
one
humour
abounding
more
then
another
,
which
here
to
treat
of
would
be
too
tedious
,
neither
can
it
profit
the
common
people
,
for
whose
sakes
I
have
taken
this
paines
:
and
now
will
I
shew
the
signes
to
know
when
one
is
infected
therewith
,
as
also
which
are
the
laudable
signes
,
and
which
are
the
contrary
,
and
lastly
the
meanes
(
by
God
his
assistance
)
how
for
to
cure
the
same
.

XIII
.
Sheweth
the
signes
of
infection
.
THe
signes
and
tokens
hereof
are
divers
,
as
first
,
it
is
perceived
by
the
suddain
weaknesse
,
loosing
and
overthrowing
of
our
naturall
strength
,
without
any
manifest
cause
thereof
going
before
,
and
sometimes
it
doth
begin
with
a
gnawing
and
biting
in
the
mouth
of
the
stomack
,
the
pulse
will
grow
weak
,
feeble
,
and
unequall
,
with
a
great
streightnesse
and
heavinesse
about
the
heart
,
as
if
some
heavie
burthen
or
weight
were
layd
thereon
,
with
shortness
of
breathing
,
vomiting
,
or
at
least
a
great
desire
to
vomit
,
great
pain
in
the
head
:
insatiable
thirst
proceeding
of
their
great
interior
heat
:
sluggishnes
,
and
universal
faintness
of
all
the
body
,
with
a
great
desire
to
sleep
,
and
an
astonishment
of
the
mind
and
vitall
spirits
:
and
for
the
most
part
they
complain
of
a
great
paine
which
is
felt
in
some
one
place
or
places
of
their
bodies
,
where
the
botch
or
blain
is
by
nature
intended
to
be
thrust
forth
,
yet
some
at
the
first
have
them
appearing
:
and
for
the
most
part
,
they
are
taken
at
the
first
with
a
sharp
and
rigorous
feaver
.
Good
signes
.
When
the
botch
or
Carbunkle
cometh
out
in
the
beginning
of
the
sicknesse
with
a
red
colour
,
and
yellowish
round
about
it
,
and
that
it
doth
quicklycome
to
maturation
,
the
feaver
to
cease
,
and
the
party
findeth
himself
eased
of
his
grief
,
and
quickned
in
his
spirits
,
these
are
good
and
laudable
signes
of
recovery
.
Evill
signes
.
When
the
botch
at
the
first
commeth
out
blackish
,
or
black
in
colour
,
also
when
the
botch
is
opened
,
the
flesh
within
doth
look
blew
,
and
that
then
there
appear
not
any
matter
or
quitture
in
the
wound
,
but
as
it
were
a
spume
or
froth
issuing
out
thereof
,
are
ill
and
deadly
signes
,
When
the
botch
waxeth
so
hard
that
by
no
means
it
will
come
to
suppuration
,
but
resisteth
whatsoever
is
done
unto
it
for
the
furthering
thereof
,
and
so
returneth
in
againe
into
the
inward
parts
suddenly
,
is
a
token
of
sudden
death
at
hand
,
and
so
it
is
if
either
before
or
after
it
is
broken
it
look
of
a
blewish
colour
,
or
of
divers
colours
,
like
the
Rainbow
,
round
about
it
.
When
the
Carbunckle
or
Blain
doth
suddenly
dry
up
,
as
if
it
were
scorcht
with
the
fire
,
and
that
the
place
round
about
it
doth
shew
to
be
of
a
wannish
blew
colour
,
is
a
deadly
sign
:
if
in
the
skin
appear
green
or
black
spots
,
the
excrements
of
divers
colours
with
worms
in
it
either
dead
or
living
,
having
a
vile
stinking
savour
,
and
spitteth
stinking
and
bloudy
matter
,
doth
betoken
death
.
When
the
sick
complaines
of
great
and
extream
heat
in
the
inward
parts
,
and
yet
cold
outwardly
,
the
eyes
staring
or
weeping
,
the
face
terrible
,
the
said
excrements
or
urin
passing
away
,
and
the
party
not
knowing
thereof
,
are
evill
signes
.
When
in
the
fourth
or
seventh
day
they
are
taken
with
a
frensie
,
or
do
fall
into
an
extream
bleeding
at
nose
,
or
have
a
great
flux
with
a
continuall
vomiting
,
or
a
desire
to
vomit
and
do
it
not
,
extream
pain
at
the
heart
,
watchfullness
,
and
the
strength
clean
gone
,
are
deadly
signes
.
When
the
party
being
very
sick
,
yet
saith
he
feeleth
himself
well
,
his
eyes
sunk
deep
in
his
head
,
and
full
of
tears
,
when
he
thinks
all
things
do
stink
,
his
nailes
looking
blew
,
the
nose
sharp
,
and
as
it
were
crooked
,
the
breath
thick
and
short
with
a
cold
sweat
in
the
brest
and
face
,
and
turning
and
playing
with
the
clothes
,
the
pulse
creeping
or
scarcely
to
be
felt
,
and
greivous
unto
him
to
speak
,
these
are
infallible
signes
of
death
at
hand
.
Some
,
before
any
of
these
signes
are
perceived
,
do
dy
,
and
some
likewise
which
have
divers
of
them
appearing
,
and
yet
do
escape
,
such
is
the
uncertainty
of
this
disease
:
there
are
many
other
symptoms
which
do
happen
in
this
contagious
disease
,
which
would
be
too
tedious
to
declare
,
but
these
as
the
chiefest
may
suffice

CHAP.
I.
WHen
we
perceive
any
to
be
infected
with
this
contagious
disease
,
we
must
with
all
possible
speed
seek
all
the
meanes
we
can
how
to
prevent
the
malignity
thereof
,
whose
property
is
at
the
first
to
assault
the
principall
part
,
which
is
the
heart
,
and
therefore
requires
present
help
;
for
unlesse
something
be
done
within
eight
or
four
and
twenty
houres
,
little
will
it
then
prevail
to
attempt
it
,
for
by
that
time
nature
is
either
subdued
,
and
clean
overthrown
,
or
else
hath
thrust
the
same
to
the
exterior
parts
,
or
otherwise
digested
it
:
yet
may
we
not
neglect
at
any
time
,
to
use
all
the
meanes
we
can
,
in
helping
and
furthering
of
nature
to
the
uttermost
of
our
indeavour
,
because
we
doe
oftentimes
see
nature
so
wearied
,
and
weakened
in
expelling
of
this
venemous
matter
,
that
unlesse
some
help
be
added
to
assist
and
comfort
her
,
the
party
,
for
lack
thereof
,
dyeth
,
which
otherwise
might
be
saved
:
For
I
have
oftentimes
seen
by
diligent
helping
of
nature
,
that
to
be
effected
and
brought
to
good
passe
,
which
I
have
judged
most
desperate
.
There
are
foure
intentions
required
for
the
curing
thereof
;
that
is
,
by
bloud-letting
,
Cordials
,
sweat
and
purging
:
but
the
manner
how
to
execute
the
same
,
hath
bred
great
contention
both
amongst
the
old
and
later
Writers
,
which
here
to
treat
of
were
too
tedious
,
for
unto
the
learned
it
were
needlesse
,
and
for
the
commonalty
little
would
it
availe
them
,
therefore
in
brief
will
I
shew
you
what
I
have
observed
touching
the
cure
.
First
,
if
it
be
in
a
Plethorick
,
sanguine
,
and
strong
body
,
and
hath
pain
in
the
head
,
great
heat
at
the
heart
,
thirstnesse
,
the
pulse
strong
,
and
labouring
,
or
beating
strongly
,
and
hath
great
and
large
veines
appearing
;
these
ought
presently
to
be
let
bloud
in
that
side
where
yee
perceive
the
greif
doth
proffer
it selfe
to
come
forth
,
and
not
visibly
appearing
,
tending
to
maturation
:
For
then
we
may
not
draw
bloud
,
but
use
all
other
meanes
we
can
devise
,
in
helping
nature
to
expell
it
,
neither
may
you
draw
bloud
,
if
the
party
have
a
flix
or
lask
(
which
is
an
evill
sign
)
in
the
beginning
of
the
disease
,
for
by
that
meanes
you
shall
hinder
nature
greatly
,
but
onely
give
the
party
Cordials
;
neither
may
you
stop
the
flix
in
the
beginning
,
but
if
it
be
extream
,
and
that
it
stay
not
the
second
day
,
then
must
you
give
some
purgation
,
which
may
leave
an
astringency
behind
it
,
as
hereafter
in
the
cure
of
the
flix
shall
be
shewed
.
For
as
Hyppocrates
,
in
his
first
book
and
one
and
twentieth
Aphorisme
,
doth
admonish
us
,
we
must
consider
and
mark
,
how
nature
doth
incline
her self
,
for
that
will
teach
us
what
we
are
to
doe
.
Now
if
you
perceive
the
botch
or
carbunkle
to
appear
underneath
the
chin
about
the
throat
,
then
presently
draw
bloud
in
both
vein̄es
under
the
tongue
,
and
immediately
after
that
apply
a
cupping
glasse
;
with
scarification
in
one
side
of
the
neck
next
unto
the
fore
,
thereby
to
draw
it
from
the
throat
,
for
fear
least
suddenly
it
choke
him
up
,
and
then
apply
Chickens
rumps
,
or
Hens
rumps
to
the
botch
,
the
feathers
being
first
pluckt
away
from
the
rump
,
and
a
grain
of
Salt
put
into
the
tewell
,
and
so
hold
the
bare
place
to
the
greif
untill
the
Chicken
die
,
which
will
be
within
half
an
hour
,
and
then
apply
another
,
and
so
continue
in
changing
them
so
long
as
they
doe
die
,
and
lastly
apply
a
mollificative
Cataplasme
or
plaister
to
the
same
place
,
as
in
the
fift
Chapter
following
is
shewed
,
which
is
made
with
Unguentum
basillicon
,
and
to
the
botch
apply
the
Epithemation
and
Cataplasme
in
the
seventh
Chapter
following
.
But
if
it
be
in
the
neck
,
he
doth
complain
,
then
let
him
bloud
in
the
Cephallica
vein
in
the
arm
,
of
the
same
side
where
he
complaineth
.
If
in
the
groin
or
flanke
he
doth
complain
,
then
let
him
bloud
in
the
foot
on
the
same
side
,
and
open
the
vein
called
Maleola
,
or
Saphena
,
the
quantity
must
be
according
as
the
age
and
strength
of
the
party
requireth
,
but
at
most
draw
not
above
six
or
eight
ounces
:
For
Avicen
willeth
us
,
to
preserve
bloud
as
the
treasure
of
nature
.
But
in
a
weak
,
spare
,
and
cachochimious
body
(
as
Galen
teacheth
us
)
we
may
not
draw
bloud
at
all
,
for
thereby
should
you
greatly
indanger
the
Patient
,
but
help
such
by
Cordials
and
sweat
.
And
here
you
shall
understand
,
that
unlesse
Phlebotomy
be
done
at
the
first
,
that
is
,
within
six
or
eight
houres
atmost
,
it
will
be
too
late
to
attempt
it
,
neither
may
you
doe
it
if
the
sore
doe
appear
up
in
height
tending
to
suppuration
,
for
then
should
you
hinder
nature
,
which
like
a
diligent
workman
,
hath
discharged
and
thrust
forth
that
venomous
matter
,
which
otherwise
would
have
killed
us
.
And
here
touching
Phlebotomy
or
bloud-letting
,
you
must
have
this
speciall
care
,
that
you
draw
not
bloud
on
the
opposite
side
,
as
if
it
be
on
the
left
side
the
sore
appear
,
then
draw
not
bloud
on
the
right
side
;
if
it
appear
in
the
flanke
,
then
draw
not
bloud
in
the
arme
,
but
in
the
foot
,
for
otherwise
you
shall
draw
that
venomous
matter
from
the
ignoble
unto
the
noble
parts
,
and
so
kill
the
body
.
And
although
the
party
complain
not
more
in
the
one
side
then
the
other
,
yet
by
the
pulse
shall
you
perceive
on
which
side
the
venome
lieth
hidden
,
for
on
that
side
where
nature
is
opprest
,
there
shall
you
find
the
pulse
more
weak
,
feeble
,
and
uneven
,
greatly
differing
from
the
other
side
.
And
here
you
shall
understand
,
that
in
some
it
hath
been
seen
,
that
nature
of
it self
at
the
first
,
hath
thrust
out
that
venomous
matter
in
some
place
of
the
body
,
with
a
botch
appearing
high
,
and
tending
to
suppuration
,
or
a
carbunckle
,
or
spots
called
purples
.
Now
here
if
you
draw
bloud
,
you
doe
then
greatly
indanger
the
body
;
but
in
this
case
you
must
onely
give
Cordials
,
and
use
all
the
meanes
you
can
to
bring
it
outward
,
either
by
maturation
,
or
evaporation
,
as
hereafter
shall
be
shewed
you
.
And
here
you
shall
further
understand
,
that
where
the
age
,
constitution
,
nor
strength
of
the
party
will
permit
that
Phlebotomy
be
done
,
yet
for
the
better
help
of
nature
you
must
apply
Ventoses
,
with
reasonable
deep
scarification
,
unto
the
next
place
adjoyning
,
where
the
party
complaineth
,
thereby
the
more
speedily
to
draw
the
venomous
matter
unto
the
superficiall
parts
,
and
there
to
apply
the
rumps
of
Chickens
,
as
before
is
taught
you
,
and
so
apply
to
the
place
some
strong
maturative
,
and
atrractive
plaister
,
or
Cataplasme
,
as
hereafter
shall
be
shewed
you
.
If
the
greif
be
in
the
head
or
throte
,
then
apply
Ventoses
to
the
neck
:
If
it
be
in
the
emunctuaries
of
the
heart
,
then
apply
them
to
the
shoulders
:
If
in
the
emunctuaries
of
the
liver
,
then
apply
them
to
the
buttocks
or
thighs
,
now
when
this
is
done
,
either
by
Phlebetomy
,
or
Ventoses
,
then
within
an
hour
or
two
at
the
most
after
it
,
you
must
give
the
sick
some
good
Cordiall
Medicine
,
which
hath
power
to
comfort
the
heart
,
resist
the
venomous
matter
,
and
also
procure
sweat
,
whereof
out
of
the
following
you
may

pound

then
give

if

is
there

recovery

have
vomited

at

,
giving

recover

in

have
a

doth

You
must
every

give
two

hereof
,
and
drink
some

water
after
it
.
Now
here
you
must
understand
,
that
if
the
flix
come
in
the
beginning
of
the
sicknesse
,
and
that
no
botch
,
Carbunkle
,
nor

spots
appear
in
the
body
,
then
in
any
case
you
may
not
goe
about
to
stop
it
,
but
suffer
nature
to
discharge
it selfe
,
and
onely
help
nature
with
Cordials
,
and
Epithemations
applyed
to
the
heart
,
but
if
by
the
continuance
thereof
,
the
Patient
grow
very
weak
and
faint
therewith
,
then
is
it
to
be
repressed
,
as
before
is
shewed
,
but
it
must
be
the
third
day
before
you
attempt
to
doe
it
.
But
if
this
flix
come
when
the
botch
or
Carbunkle
doth
appear
,
and
tending
to
maturation
,
then
is
it
very
dangerous
,
for
by
that
meanes
the
venomous
matter
is
drawn
back
again
into
the
principall
parts
,
and
so
killeth
the
Patient

CHAP.
V.
Sheweth
how
to
bring
the
botch
out
,
that
lieth
deep
within
the
body
or
flesh
.
FIrst
you
must
consider
,
that
oftentimes
the
botch
,
or
carbunkle
doth
offer
it selfe
to
come
forth
in
some
place
of
the
body
,
and
yet
no
apparant
sign
thereof
,
but
lieth
deep
hidden
within
,
because
nature
is
not
of
sufficient
strength
to
thrust
it
forth
;
which
is
easily
perceived
by
the
great
and
almost
intolerable
pain
,
that
by
some
is
felt
in
the
place
where
nature
intends
to
expell
it
,
which
in
the
most
part
of
people
,
by
bloud-letting
,
Cordials
,
and
sweat
,
is
clean
taken
away
and
evacuated
;
but
if
after
all
this
is
done
it
goe
not
away
,
then
unto
these
you
must
use
all
the
meanes
you
can
to
bring
it
to
the
outward
parts
.
First
,
by
giving
to
the
sick
oftentimes
some
Cordiall
Electuary
to
keep
it
from
the
heart
,
then
(
if
no
great
pain
be
in
the
outward
part
)
you
must
apply
a
cupping-glasse
with
scarification
,
directly
against
the
place
where
the
greif
is
felt
,
and
let
it
remain
thereon
a
quarter
or
halfe
an
hour
,
then
take
it
away
,
and
presently
apply
the
rumps
of
Chickens
,
Hens
,
or
Pigeons
to
the
place
(
as
before
hath
been
shewed
)
that
being
done
,
then
lay
some
attractive
and
maturative
plaister
or
Cataplasme
to
the
place
,
which
here
following
is
shewed
,
and
every
sixth
hour
you
must
apply
the
cupping-glass
,
as
also
the
rest
,
untill
such
time
as
you
have
brought
the
venomous
matter
to
the
outward
parts
,
there
to
be
visibly
seen
,
or
at
least
,
by
feeling
to
be
perceived
,
which
commonly
is
effected
at
the
second
time
,
then
use
no
more
cupping
,
but
onely
apply
a
maturative
to
the
place

SOmetimes
you
shall
see
the

appear
outwardly
,
and
suddenly
vanish
away
again
,
which
is
a
very
dangerous

deadly
sign

now

doth

to
expell

you
must
give
the
Cordiall
every
third
hour
,
and
immediately
after
the
first

of
the
Cordiall
,
you
must
Epithemate
the

before
expressed

let
them
all
remain
a
quarter
of
an
hour
,
then
takeaway
the
last
glasse
,
but
suffer
the
first
to
remain
,
then
presently
apply
him
again
,
and
let
it
remain
a
quarter
of
an
hour
more
,
and
doe
so
three
or
four
times
together
,
but
alwayes
suffer
the
first
glasse
next
the
sore
for
to
remain
;
now
when
you
have
thus
done
,
then
take
all
the
glasses
away
,
and
presently
apply
a
Vesicatory
to
the
place
where
the
last
and
uttermost
glasse
did
stand
,
suffering
it
to
remain
there
twelve
houres
,
then
open
the
blister
,
and
lay
an
Ivy
or
Cole
leafe
to
the
place
,
and
upon
all
lay
a
pla●…ster
of
Kellebackeron
,
or
Diaculum
magnum
,
and
dresse
it
twice
a
day
,
the
longer
you
keep
it
running
,
the
better
it
will
be
,
and
at
length
●…eal
it
up
as
other
Ulcers
are
cured
.
Now
so
soon
as
you
have
applyed
the
Vesicatory
,
you
must
presently
epithemate
the
botch
with
this
Epithemation

apply
it
warm
to
the
place
,
and
renue
it
every
hour
,
during
the
time
that
the
Vesicatory
is
in
working
,
and
when
you
have
opened
the

that
is
made
thereby
,
then
onely
apply
this
Cataplasme
to
the

CHAP.

.
Sheweth
how
to
know
a
Carbunkle
or
blain
,
as
also
the
〈◊〉
of
the
same
.
THe
Carbunkle
or
blain
doth
first
begin
with
a
little
Pustula
or
wheal
,
and
sometime
with
divers
Pustulaes
or
wheales
together
,
with
a
great
burning
and
pricking
pain
in
the
place
,
which
Pustulaes
are
like
a
scalding
bladder
,
seeming
to
be
full
of
water
or
matter
,
yet
when
you
open
it
,
little
or
nothing
will
come
out
of
it
,
and
when
they
are
broken
,
will
grow
to
a
hard
crust
or
scarre
,
as
if
it
had
been
burnt
with
a
hot
Iron
or
Caustick
,
with
a
great
ponderosity
or
heavinesse
in
the
place
.
In
some
it
comes
in
the
beginning
,
without
any
Pustula
at
all
to
be
perceived
,
but
with
a
hard
black
crust
or
a
scarre
;
sometimes
it
lyeth
hidden
in
the
inward
parts
without
any
outward
appearance
at
all
,
as
if
it
be
in
the
lungs
,
then
there
is
a
difficulty
of
breathing
,
with
a
Cough
and
foul
spitting
.
If
it
be
in
the
Liver
or
Spleen
,
then
the
party
feeleth
a
great
pain
and
pricking
in
the
same
side
;
if
in
the
Kidneyes
or
Bladder
it
doth
chance
,
then
is
there
suppression
or
stopping
of
the
Urine
,
or
great
pain
in
the
making
of
water
;
if
it
be
in
the
Brain
,
then
a
delirium
followeth
,
but
howsoever
it
chance
to
come
,
the
party
infected
therewith
hath
a
Fever
,
with
other
accidents
,
as
before
in
the
13.
Chapter
of
the
first
Treatise
is
declared
;
if
it
begin
with
a
green
,
black
,
or
blew
colour
,
or
of
divers
colours
like
the
Rainbow
,
then
is
it
a
deadly
signe
,
and
so
is
it
,
if
once
it
appear
and
then
suddenly
vanish
away
;
but
if
it
be
red
or
yellowish
,
so
it
be
not
in
any
of
the
principall
parts
,
or
emunctuaries
of
the
body
,
as
the
heart
,
stomack
,
armpit
,
flanke
,
jawes
,
or
throat
,
then
it
is
laudable
,
otherwise
in
any
of
these
places
very
desperate
and
dangerous
to
be
cured
,
but
wheresoever
it
doth
chance
,
unlesse
it
may
be
brought
to
suppuration
,
it
is
deadly
.
The
cure
of
the
Carbunkle
.
First
,
the
Universall
means
must
not
be
neglected
,
as
bloud-letting
,
cordials
,
epithemations
,
sweet
and
gentle
evacuation
by
purging
,
as
the
time
and
cause
requireth
,
which
before
in
the
beginning
of
this
Treatise
hath
been
shewed
at
large
,
and
the
same
order
which
is
used
for
the
cure
of
a
Botch
,
is
also
to
be
kept
in
the
cure
of
a
Carbunkle
,
and
to
rectifie
the
ayre
of
the
house
by
strewing
it
with
vine
and
willow
leaves
,
red
Roses
and
such
like
,
as
also
to
sprinkle
the
floor
with
Rose
water
and
Vinegar
,
and
cause
the
sick
oftentimes
to
smell
unto
a
cloth
wet
in
Rosewater
and
Vinegar
is
very
good
:
these
things
being
done
,
then
use
all
the
means
you
can
to
bring
it
to
Suppuration
,
for
which
purpose
this
Cataplasm
following
is
very
good
A
Maturative
Cataplasm
.
Take
Fat
Figs
℥
iiii
.
Mustard
seed
,
℥
i.
ss.
Pound
the
seed
small
by
it self
,
the
Figs
must
first
be
cut
very
small
,
and
then
pounded
likewise
,
and
then
adde
thereto
so
much
Oyle
of
Lillies
as
will
suffice
to
make
it
in
the
form
of
a
stiffe
Pultis
,
and
apply
it
warm
,
renuing
it
twice
a
day
,
this
must
be
continued
untill
the
scar
begin
to
grow
loose
and
moveable
,
and
then
apply
this
following
to
remove
the
scar
.
Take
unsalted
butter
,
the
yolk
of
an
Egg
,
and
wheat
flour
,
mix
them
together
,
and
apply
it
untill
the
s●…ar
doe
fall
away
,
then
doe
you
mundifie
it
with
this
mundificative
.
Mundificative

,
then
take
it
from
the
fire
,
and
add
there
to
Barlie
and
wheat
flour
of
each
ʒ
.
vi
.
the
yolk
,
of
a
new
laid
Egg
,
and
mix
them
altogether
,
and
apply
it
three
dayes
,
and
then
use
this
following
.
Another
Mundificative
.
Take
clear
Turpentine
,
℥
iii
.
Honie
of
Roses
,
℥
ii
.
Juice
of
Smallege
,
℥
ii
.
Barlie
flowre
,
℥
i.
ss.
Boil
them
altogether
saving
the
Barlie
,
untill
the
Juice
be
consumed
,
then
take
it
from
the
fire
,
and
when
it
is
almost
cold
,
adde
the
Barlie
thereto
,
and
mixe
them
together
,
and
use
thereof
to
the
grief
untill
it
be
clean
mundified
,
and
then
incarnate
it
with
Unguentum
Basilicon
,
and
lastly
sigillate
it
with
Unguentum
de
cerusa
decocted
.
Sometime
you
shall
find
a
little
pustule
to
appear
,
without
any
elevation
of
the
parts
adjoyning
,
or
outward
hardnesse
.
Now
here
to
bring
it
outwardly
you
must
apply
this
Cataplasm
.
Take
Lillie
roots
,
Onyons
,
and
sour
Leaven
,
of
either
one
ounce
.
Boil
them
in
water
untill
the
water
be
consumed
,
then
bruise
them
in
a
morter
,
and
add
thereto
Mustard

.
Mithridate
,
Triacle
,
ana
,
half
a
drachm
,
Yolks
of
four
Eggs
.
Mix
all
these
together
,
and
apply
it
warm
to
the
grief
,
renuing
it
thrice
a
day
,
this
order
must
be
continued
untill
you
see
the
place
elevated
tending
to
suppuration
,
then
apply
a
Maturative
,
and
so
proceed
as
next
before
this
is
shewed
you
,
and
during
the
whole
time
of
the
cure
,
I
hold
it
better
to
use
rather
Poultises
then
plaisters
,
because
they
do
not
so
much
stop
the
Pores
,
but
give
more
scope
for
the
venemous
matter
to
breath
out
.
When
the
Carbuncle
doth
come
with
great
pain
and
inflammation
,
how
to
help
it
.
You
must
first
bath
and
soke
the
place
well
with
this
bag
following
,
and
then
presently
apply
the
Cataplasm
ensuing
,
for
by
this
means
you
shall
not
onely
ease
the
pain
and
abate
the
Inflammation
and
Fever
,
but
also
prevent
the
danger
of
Gangrena
which
may
chance
thereby
.

this
order
must
be

here
to

The
End
of
the
Second
Treatise
.
A
Short
Treatise
of
the
Small
Pox
,
shewing
the
Means
how
for
to
govern
and
cure
those
which
are
infected
therewith
.
CHAP.
I.
Sheweth
what
the
Small
Pox
and
Measels
are
,
and
whereof
it
proceedeth
.
FOr
that
oftentimes
those
that
are
infected
with
the
Plague
,
are
in
the
end
of
the
disease
sometime
troubled
with
the
small
Pox
or
Measels
,
as
also
by
good
observation
it
hath
been
seen
,
that
they
are
fore-runners
or
warnings
of
the
plague
to
come
,
as
Salius
and
divers
other
writers
doe
testifie
:
I
have
thought
it
good
and
as
a
matter
pertinent
to
my
former
Treatise
,
to
shew
the
aids
and
helps
which
are
required
for
the
same
.
I
need
not
greatly
to
stand
upon
the
description
of
this
disease
,
because
it
is
a
thing
well
known
unto
most
people
,
proceeding
of
adusted
bloud
mixt
with
flegm
,
as
Avicen
witnesseth
,
which
according
to
both
ancient
and
latter
Writers
doth
alwaies
begin
with
a
Fever
,
then
shortly
after
there
ariseth
small
Pustulaes
upon
the
skin
throughout
all
the
body
,
which
doe
not
suddenly
come
forth
,
but
by
intermission
,
in
some
more
or
lesse
,
according
to
the
state
and
qualitie
of
the
bodie
infected
therewith
:
for
in
some
there
ariseth
many
little
Pustulaes
with
elevation
of
the
skin
,
which
in
one
day
doe
increase
and
grow
bigger
,
and
after
have
a
thick
matter
growing
in
them
,
which
the
Greeks
call
Exanthemata
or
Exthymata
:
and
after
the
Latines
Variola
,
in
our
English
tongue
the
small
Pox
,
and
here
some
Writers
doe
make
a
difference
betwixt
variola
and
exanthemata
;
for
say
they
,
that
is
called
variola
when
many
of
those
Pustules
doe
suddenly
run
into
a
clear
bladder
,
as
if
it
had
been
scalled
,
but
the
other
doth
not
so
,
yet
they
are
both
one
in
the
cure
,
they
doe
most
commonly
appear
the
fourth
day
,
or
before
the
eight
day
,
as
Avicen
witnesseth
.
What
the
Measels
or
Males
are
.
Avicen
saith
,
That
the
Measels
or
Males
is
that
which
first
cometh
with
a
great
swelling
in
the
flesh
,
with
many
little
Pimples
which
are
not
to
be
seen
,
but
onely
by
feeling
with
the
hand
are
to
be
perceived
,
they
have
little
elevation
of
the
skin
,
neither
doe
they
grow
to
maturation
,
or
end
with
ulceration
as
the
Pox
doth
,
neither
doe
they
assault
the
eyes
,
or
leave
any
deformity
behind
them
as
the
Pox
doth
,
neither
are
they
so
swift
in
coming
forth
,
but
doe
grow
more
slowly
,
they
require
the
same
cure
which
the
Pox
have
,
they
proceed
of
cholerick
and
melancholie
bloud
.
The
cause
of
the
Pox
and
Measels
.
The
primitive
cause
as
Valetius
saith
,
is
by
alteration
of
the
aire
,
in
drawing
some
putrified
and
corrupt
quality
unto
it
,
which
doth
cause
an
ebullition
of
our
bloud
.
The
cause
antecedent
is
repletion
of
meats
,
which
do
easily
corrupt
in
the
stomack
,
as
when
we
eat
milk
and
fish
together
at
one
time
,
or
by
neglecting
to
draw
bloud
,
in
such
as
have
accustomed
to
doe
it
every
year
,
whereby
the
bloud
doth
abound
.
The
conjunct
cause
is
the
menstruall
bloud
,
which
from
the
beginning
in
our
mothers
wombs
wee
received
,
the
which
mixing
it self
with
the
rest
of
our
bloud
;
doth
cause
an
Ebullition
of
the
whole
.
The
efficient
cause
is
,
nature
or
naturall
heat
,
which
by
that
menstruall
matter
mixing
it self
with
the
rest
of
our
bloud
,
doth
cause
a
continuall
vexing
and
disquieting
thereof
,
whereby
an
unnaturall
heat
is
increased
in
all
the
body
,
causing
an
Ebullition
of
bloud
,
by
the
which
this
filthy
menstrual
matter
is
seperated
from
our
natural
bloud
,
and
the
nature
being
offended
and
overwhelmed
therewith
,
doth
thrust
it
to
the
outward
pores
of
the
skin
as
the
excrements
of
bloud
,
which
matter
if
it
be
hot
and
slimie
,
then
it
produceth
the
Pox
,
but
if
dry
and
subtil
,
then
the
Measels
or
Males
.

with
Fernelius
in
his
Book
De

rerum
causis
,

doth
hold
opinion
,
that
the
immediate
cause
of
this
disease
doth
not
proceed
of
menstrual
bloud
,
but
of
some
secret
and
unknown
corruption
,
or
defiled
quality
of
the
aire
,
causing
an
Ebullition
of
bloud
,
which
is
also
verified
by
Valetius
,
and
now
doth
reckon
it
to
be
one
of
the
hereditable
diseases
,
because
few
or
none
doe
escape
it
,
but
that
either
in
their
youth
,
ripe
age
,
or
old
age
,
they
are
infected
therewith
.
The
contention
hereabout
is
great
,
and
mighty
reasons
are
oppugned
on
both
sides
,
therefore
I
will
leave
the
judgement
thereof
unto
the
better
learned
to
define
;
but
mine
opinion
is
,
That
now
it
proceedeth
of
the
Excrements
of
all
the
four
humours
in
our
bodies
,
which
striving
with
the
purest
,
doth
cause
a
supernatural
heat
and
ebullition
of
our
bloud
,
alwaies
beginning
with
a
Fever
in
the
most
part
,
and
may
well
be
reckoned
in
the
number
of
those
diseases
which
are
called
Epidemia
:
as
Fracastorius
in
his
first
Book

morbis

witnesseth
this
disease
is
very
contagious
and
infectious
,
as
experience
teacheth
us
:
There
are
two
speciall
causes
why
this
disease
is
infectious
:
The
first
is
,
because
it
proceedeth
by
ebullition
of
bloud
,
whose
vapour
being
entred
into
another
bodie
,
doth
soon
defile
and
infect
the
same
,
the
second
reason
is
,
because
it
is
a
disease
hereditable
;
for
we
see
when
one
is
infected
therewith
,
that
so
many
as
come
neer
him
,
(
especially
those
which
are
allyed
in
the
same
bloud
)
doe
assuredly
for
the
most
part
,
receive
the
infection
also
.
CHAP.
II.
Sheweth
to
know
the
signs
when
one
is
infected
,
as
also
the
good
and
ill
signs
in
the
disease
.
THe
signs
when
one
is
infected
are
these
,
first
he
is
taken
with
a
hot
Fever
,
and
sometime
with
a
Delirium
,
great
pain
in
the
back
,
furring
and
stopping
of
the
nose
,
beating
of
the
heart
,
hoarsnesse
,
redness
of
the
eyes
,
and
full
of
tears
with
heavinesse
and
pain
in
the
head
,
great
beating
in
the
forehead
and
temples
,
heaviness
and
pricking
in
all
the
body
,
dryness
in
the
mouth
,
the
face
very
red
,
pain
in
the
throat
and
breast
,
difficulty
in
breathing
,
and
shaking
of
the
hands
and
feet
with
spitting
thick
matter
.
When
they
doe
soon
or
in
short
time
appear
,
and
that
in
their
coming
out
they
doe
look
red
,
and
that
after
they
are
come
forth
they
doe
look
white
,
and
speedily
grow
to
maturation
,
that
he
draweth
his
breath
easily
,
and
doth
find
himself
eased
of
his
pain
,
and
that
his
Fever
doth
leave
him
,
these
are
good
and
laudable
signes
of
recovery
.
When
the
Pox
lye
hidden
within
and
not
appearing
outwardly
,
or
if
after
they
are
come
forth
they
doe
suddenly
strike
in
again
and
vanish
away
,
or
that
they
doe
look
of
a
black
,
blewish
,
and
green
colour
,
with
a
difficultie
and
straitnesse
of
drawing
breath
,
and
that
he
doe
often
swoun
,
if
the
sick
have
a
flix
or
lask
,
when
the
Pox
were
found
double
,
that
is
,
one
growing
within
another
,
or
when
they
run
together
in
blisters
like
scalding
bladders
,
and
then
on
the
sudden
do
sink
down
and
grow
dry
with
a
hard
black
scar
or
crust
,
as
if
it
had
been
burnt
with
a
hot
iron
,
all
these
are
ill
signs
.
Avicen
saith
,
there
are
two
speciall
causes
which
produce
death
unto
those
that
have
this
disease
:
either
for
that
they
are
choaked
with
great
Inflammation
and
swelling
in
the
throat
called
Angina
,
or
having
a
flix
or
lask
which
doth
so
weaken
and
overthrow
the
vitall
spirits
,
that
thereby
the
disease
is
increased
,
and
so
death
followeth
.
How
to
know
of
what
humours
this
disease
cometh
.
If
it
come
of
bloud
,
then
they
appear
red
,
with
generall
pain
,
and
great
heat
in
all
the
body
.
If
they
come
of
choler
,
then
will
they
appear
of
a
yellowish
red
and
clear
colour
,
with
a
pricking
pain
in
all
the
bodie
.
If
they
come
of
flegm
,
then
will
they
appear
of
a
whitish
colour
and
scaly
,
or
with
scales
.
If
they
come
of
melancholie
,
then
will
they
appear
blackish
with
a
pricking
pain
.

Sheweth
the
meanes
to
cure
the
Pox
or
Measels
.
THere
are
two
speciall
meanes
required
for
curing
this
disease
,
the
first
is
to
help
nature
to
expell
the
same
from
the
interior
and
principall
parts
unto
the
exterior
:
the
second
is
to
preserve
both
the
interior
and
exterior
parts
,
that
they
may
not
be
hurt
thereby
.
For
the
first
intention
,
if
the
age
and
strength
of
the
sick
will
permit
,
and
that
the
Pox
or
Measels
appear
not
,
it
were
then
good
in
the
first
,
second
,
or
third
day
to
draw
bloud
out
of
the
Basilica
veine
in
the
right
arme
,
if
he
be
not
under
the
age
of
fourteen
years
,
but
the
quantity
must
be
at
the
discretion
of
him
that
draweth
it
,
either
more
or
lesse
as
occasion
is
offered
:
but
for
children
and
such
as
are
of
tender
years
,
and
weak
bodies
,
it
were
not
good
to
draw
bloud
out
of
the
arme
,
but
out
of
the
inferior
parts
,
as
the
thighes
,
hams
buttocks
,
and
the
Emeroidall
veines
,
especially
if
the
party
be
melancholie
,
or
else
to
apply
ventoses
to
the
loynes
,
buttocks
,
or
hams
,
which
may
boldly
be
used
both
before
and
after
they
do
appear
,
either
with
scarification
,
or
without
,
as
cause
requireth
,
which
is
a
speciall
good
meanes
to
draw
that
Ichorous
matter
from
the
interior
to
the
exterior
parts
;
but
for
sucking
Children
,
it
were
best
to
apply
bloud-suckers
unto
any
of
the
foresaid
places
,
which
is
a
thing
that
may
be
used
with
more
ease
then
ventoses
,
neither
do
I
wish
either
of
them
to
be
used
unlesse
necessity
require
it
,
which
is
,
when
the
matter
lieth
lurking
in
the
interior
parts
,
not
offering
it self
to
appear
outwardly
:
otherwise
I
hold
it
better
to
leave
the
whole
work
unto
nature
,
specially
in
sucking
children
:
for
when
we
see
that
nature
is
ready
,
or
doth
endeavour
to
expell
the
malignity
which
is
in
the
interior
parts
to
the
exterior
,
which
may
be
perceived
by
reviving
of
the
Spirits
,
and
mitigating
of
the
Fever
:
here
we
ought
not
to
use
any
meanes
at
all
,
but
leave
the
whole
operation
to
nature
,
which
we
must
onely
help
by
keeping
the
sick
body
in
a
reasonable
heat
,
being
wrapt
in
a
scarlet
,
stammell
,
or
red
cloth
,
which
may
not
touch
the
skin
,
but
to
have
a
soft
linnen
cloth
betwixt
them
both
,
and
then
cover
him
with
clothes
in
reasonable
sort
,
and
keep
him
from
the
open
ayre
and
the
light
,
except
a
little
,
and
also
from
anger
,
using
all
the
meanes
you
can
to
keep
the
sick
in
quietnesse
,
and
if
the
body
be
very

,

you
may
encrease
or
diminish
the
decoction
or
ingredients
according
as
the
age
of
the
party
requireth
:
but
if
the
sick
have
great
heat
,
then
may
you
add
one

softly

which
is
also
a
very
good

to

from
the
interior
to
the
exterior
parts
,
when
all
this
is
done
,
then
if
the
body
be
inclined
to
sweat
,
you
must
further
the
same
by
covering
him
with
warm
clothes
,
having
a
care
that
you
lay
not
more

him
then
he
can
well
endure

for
otherwise
you
may
cause
faintnesse
and
swouning

which
are
ill
in

yet
must
you
alwaies
keep
the

warm
,
and
suffer
him
not
to

or
permit
very
little
untill
the

doth
appear

But
if
the

be
so
weak
that
he
cannot
expell
the

in

then
it
is
good
to
epithemate

CHAP.
V.
Sheweth
what
is
to
be
done
when
the
Pox
are
all
come
out
in
the
skinne
.
FOr
that
oftentimes
the
face
and
hands
,
which
is
the
beauty
and
delight
of
our
bodies
,
are
oftentimes
disfigured
thereby
,
I
will
shew
you
what
meanes
I
have
used
with
good
and
happy
successe
for
preventing
thereof
:
which
is
,
you
may
not
do
any
thing
unto
them
untill
they
grow
white
,
and
that
they
are
come
to
maturation
,
which
when
you
perceive
,
then
with
a
golden
pinne
,
or
needle
,
or
for
lack
thereof
a
copper
pinne
will
serve
,
do
you
open
every
pustulae
in
the
top
,
and
so
thrust
out
the
matter
therein
very
softly
and
gently
with
a
soft
linnen
cloth
,
and
if
you
perceive
the
places
do
fill
againe
,
then
open
them
againe
as
you
did
first
,
for
if
you
do
suffer
the
matter
which
is
in
them
to
remain
over
long
,
then
will
it
fret
and
corrode
the
flesh
,
which
is
the
cause
of
those
pitts
which
remaine
after
the
Pox
are
gone
,
as
Avicen
witnesseth
:
now
when
you
have
thus
done
,
then
annoint
the
places
with
this
oyntment
following
.
Take
Elder
leaves
,
one
handfull
,
Marigolds
,
two
handfulls
,
French
Mallowes
,
one
handfull
,
Barrowes
morte
or
grease
,
six
ounces
.
First
bruise
the
hearb
in
a
morter
,
and
then
boyle
them
with
the
grease
in
a
pewter
dish
on
a
chafer
and
coales
,
untill
the
juice
of
the
hearbs
be
consumed
,
then
strein
it
,
and
keep
it
to
your
use
,
the
best
time
to
make
it
is
in
the
middle
or
the
latter
end
of
May
.
You
must
with
a
feather
annoint
the
places
grieved
,
and
as
it
drieth
in
,
annoint
it
againe
,
and
so
continue
it
oftentimes
,
for
this
will
soon
dry
them
up
,
and
keep
the
place
from
pitts
and
holes
,
which
remain
after
the
Pox
are
gone
.
Also
if
you
annoint
the
Pox
with
the
oyle
of
sweet
Almonds
newly
drawn
three
or
four
times
a
day
,
which
you
must
begin
to
do
so
soon
as
the
Pox
are
grown
white
and
come
to
maturation
,
it
will
cure
them
without
pitts
or
spotts
,
and
easeth
the
pain
and
burning
,
and
helpeth
excoriation
.
Some
do
onely
oftentimes
wet
the
places
with
the
juice
of
Marigolds
in
the
summer
season
,
and
in
winter
the
juice
of
the
roots
will
serve
:
and
by
that
onely
have
done
well
.
Mercuriales
doth

wet
therein
,
and
as
it
drieth
in
,
wet
it
againe
,
this
in
a
short
time
will
dry
them
up
.
I

any
thing
at
all
,
but
suffering
them
to
dry
up

fall
off
themselves

any
picking

scratching
,
have
done
very
well
,

not
any
pitts
remained
after
it

be
great
pain
in
them

For
stopping
of
the
nostrills
,
to
help
it
.
Sometimes
the
nostrills
are
greatly
pestered
by
stopping
them
with
the
Pox
growing
in
them
,
which
doth
oftentimes
cause
ulceration
in
them
,
therefore
to
prevent
the
same
,
take
red-Rose
,
and
Plantaine
,
of
either
one
handfull

Mirrh

half
an
ounce

Boyle
all
these
in
a
quart
of
water
untill
half
be
consumed
,
and
so
being
warm
,
cause
the
sick
to
draw
the
fume
thereof
into
his
nostrills
oftentimes
.
Also
if
the
sick
doth
oftentimes
smell
unto
Vinegar
,
it
is
good
.
For
hoarsenesse
remaining
when
the
Pox
are
gone
.
Take
Licorice
,
Sebesten
,
Jujubes
,
of
either
two
ounces
:
Fat-Figgs
,
four
ounces
,
clean
water
,
four
pints
.
Boyl
all
these
together
untill
half
be
consumed
,
then
strain
it
,
and
give
one
spoonfull
thereof
to
the
sick
oftentimes
,
and
it
helpeth
.
For
filthy
and
moist
scabs
after
the
Pox
are
gone
.
Take
Lapis

Bring
all
these
into
fine

and
then
labour
them
in
a
morter
with
so
much
Barrowes-mort
or

as
shall
be

FINIS

Some
other
few
additionall
observations
concerning
the
passages
in
this
latter
Treatise
.
PAge
the
eighth
of
this
precedent
Book
,
a
Quilt
or
Bag
is
commended
to
be
very
excellent
;
it
is
reported
to
be
Pope
Adrians
Bag
,
which
he
used
against
infection
,
and
in
the
great
last
Sicknesse
in
London
,
it
was
commended
to
many
great
Persons
of
worth
by
some
Apothecaries
,
who
kept
it
as
a
great
secret
,
and
affirmed
,
it
would
prevent
infection
,
and
preserve
them
safe
in
that
dangerous
time
;
and
thereupon
sold
it
unto
them
at
a
very
great
rate
:
But
that
you
may
not
be
deluded
in
the
prescription
,
I
have
set
down
the
true
receit
thereof
,
as
it
was
delivered
unto
me
from
the
hands
of
a
very
noble
friend
.
A
Preservative
against
the
infection
of
the
air
,
and
the
Plague
,
often
approved
by
Pope
Adrian
,
and
many
others
of
great
rank
and
credit
.
Take
Arsenick
two
ounces
,
Auripigmentum
one
ounce
,
make
little
tablets
thereof
with
the
whites
of
Eggs
,
and
Gum
Dr●…gacanth
,
and
hang
them
about
the
neck
against
the
heart
.
I
have
also
set
down
a
red
Cordiall
water
,
very
good
against
infection
,
which
I
had
also
from
that
noble
friend
.
Take
a
quart
of
good
spirit
of
Wine
,
or
very
good
Aqua
vitae
,
infuse
it
in
one
ounce
of
good
Mithridate
,
with
as
much
good
Venice
Triacle
:
let
it
be
close
stopped
some
few
day●…
in
the
infusion
before
you
use
it
,
then
pour
the
spirit
clear
off
,
and
reserve
it
for
your
use
.
But
to
discover
what
opinions
other
Phisitians
have
held
of
that
and
the
like
,
I
have
annexed
hereunto
their
severall
judgements
hereafter
,
that
amongst
so
many
choise
Medicines
,
they
may
select
out
the
best
and
safest
for
their
own
preservations
,
when
need
shall
require
.
And
to
give
them
the
better
satisfaction
,
I
have
annexed
,
out
of
some
choise
Manuscripts
,
some
approved
Experiments
,
of
some
of
our
London
ablest
Doctors
,
as
also
out
of
some
other
Authors
.
Severall
opinions
against
wearing
of
Arsenick
Amulets
,
as
Preservatives
against
the
Plague
.
THe
poysonous
vapours
of
Arsenick
being
sucked
or
drawn
into
the
body
,
when
they
find
no
contrary
poyson
with
whom
to
wrestle
with
,
as
with
an
enemy
,
(
for
in
an
infected
body
there
cannot
be
health
;
but
we
suppose
him
to
be
well
,
whom
we
desire
to
preserve
so
)
those
vapours
must
needs
imprint
a
malignant
and
venomous
quality
on
the
spirit
and
heart
,
most
adverse
and
pernitious
to
nature
.
And
by
Galens
own
doctrine
,
all
Alexiteries
doe
in
a
mann●…r
,
if
they
be
used
too
liberally
,
greatly
offend
and
weaken
our
bodies
;
how
can
we
then
think
,
that
ranke
Poysons
and
Dilaet●…ries
,
(
such
as
Arsenick
is
)
being
applied
,
as
to
penetrate
in●…o
the
noblest
region
of
all
other
,
will
no
whit
violate
and
wast
our
naturall
,
vitall
,
and
radicall
heat
?
Galen

.
Nor
did
Galen
,
or
any
of
the
antient
Fathers
and
Professors
of
●…hysick
,
use
to
preserve
from
the
Plague
,
or
any
other
poison
,
by
administring
some
other
poison
inwardly
,
or
prescribing
outwardly
Applications
,
but
proceeded
by
Antidotes
,
and
Alexiteries
,
as
will
appear
in
libr.
de
Theriaca
ad
Pis.
cap
,
16.
Wherefore
,
unlesse
we
will
utterly
disclaim
or
relinguish
the
method
and
prescripts
of
these
worthy
Antients
,
and
prosecute
new
wayes
and
inventions
,
to
oppose
this
man-yelling
Monster
,
we
must
attempt
it
not
with
Poysons
but
Antidotes
.
And
Galen
defineth
those
to
be
Poysons
,
which
agree
not
with
nature
,
either
well
or
ill
affected
at
any
time
;
for
though
there
are
some
Poysons
,
which
if
they
meet
in
the
body
with
a
contrary
venome
,
so
fight
with
it
,
and
oppose
it
,
that
both
doe
perish
in
the
conflict
betwixt
them
;
so
that
the
party
,
by
their
colluctation
and
strugling
together
,
escapes
with
his
life
:
yet
all
of
them
agree
in
uniform
opinion
together
,
that
where
they
meet
with
no
opposition
,
they
ruine
the
party
:
And
therefore
conclude
,
that
Arsenick
,
worn
by
a
healthy
man
,
finding
not
onely
no
contrary
Poyson
to
make
conflict
with
,
but
no
Poyson
at
all
,
must
necessarily
thwart
,
and
oppose
,
and
make
an
onset
on
nature
her self
.
And
to
confirme
their
opinions
,
I
have
purposely
introduced
the
judgements
of
other
learned
Phisitians
concurring
with
them
.
Gerardus
Columbus
,
a
learned
Phisitian
,
reporteth
,
that
it
hath
been
observed
,
that
the
wearers
of
these
Amulets
,
upon
unusuall
heating
their
bodies
,
have
fallen
into
sudden
Lipothimies
,
and
Swounings
,
with
other
fearfull
accidents
,
which
continued
upon
them
till
the
Amulets
or
Placents
were
removed
from
them
;
and
that
others
,
though
not
instantly
,
yet
after
some
time
,
have
by
late
and
wofull
experience
discovered
their
malignity
,
by
falling
into
malignant
and
pestilent
Fevers
,
some
of
them
ending
with
death
.
Franc.
Alphanus
,
a
Phisitian
of
Salerne
,
relateth
of
one
,
who
wearing
Arsenick
,
and
heating
himself
with
playing
earnestly
at
Tennise
,
fell
down
suddenly
dead
.
Mattheus
Hessus
also
thus
writeth
,
As
Cordiall
Bags
or
Amulets
ought
not
to
be
disavowed
,
so
empoysoned
Amulets
can
be
no
way
commended
;
nor
doe
I
remember
,
that
ever
any
received
good
from
them
,
who
abstained
from
other
Antidotes
:
But
this
I
certainly
know
,
that
divers
persons
,
who
carry
about
them
Quick-silver
in
a
Nutshell
,
by
the
vain
perswasions
of
some
Imposters
,
have
died
of
the
Plague
,
and
the
counsellours
and
advisers
of
such
like
Amulets
,
have
been
the
first
have
betaken
themselves
to
their
heeles
,
confiding
more
in
their
running
than
cunning
:
and
yet
these
Quacks
perswaded
the
ignorant
people
,
with
glorious
promises
and
protestations
,
that
whosoever
carried
Quick-silver
or
Arsenick
about
his
neck
,
should
be
as
safe
,
as
if
he
had
purchased
a
protection
from
the
King
of
Heaven
Historians
also
report
,
that
Caracalla
,
though
he
were
a
wicked
Emperour
,
prohibited
by
publick
Edict
or
Proclamation
,
that
no
man
should
wear
about
him
superstitious
Amulets
.
And
Theophrastus
the
great
(
not
without
cause
)
esteemed
P●…ricles
to
have
a
crazed
brain
,
because
he
saw
him
wear
an
Amulet
about
his
neck
.
And
hereunto
Doctor
Francis
Herring
,
an
able
Phisitian
,
as
a
Corollary
to
what
hath
before
been
written
,
addeth
the
experience
of
some
London
Phisitians
,
who
report
,
they
have
seen
foul
holes
made
in
the
breasts
of
those
that
have
worn
those
Amulets
,
and
have
observed
divers
to
die
,
who
have
religiously
worn
them
about
their
necks
,
as
well
as
others
.
And
whereas
the
venters
and
setters
out
of
these
deceitfull
wares
,
make
them
as
a
scout
,
to
discover
the
infection
when
it
beginneth
to
seize
on
a
man
,
by
clapping
close
to
the
heart
,
to
guard
that
principall
part
,
as
the
cheif
Tower
:
It
is
a
meer
deceit
and
collusion
:
for
whensoever
the
body
is
heated
,
this
event
followeth
necessarily
,
though
no
other
infection
be
near
,
but
the
poysonous
and
venomous
Arsenick
itself
,
whose
salutation
is
rather
Ioabs
imbracing
,
or
Iuda's
kissing
,
than
friendly
preservatives
.
Causes
of
the
Plague
.
There
are
two
speciall
causes
of
the
Plague
.
First
,
An
infected
,
corrupted
,
and
putrified
air
,
Secondly
,
Evill
and
corrupt
humours
ingendered
in
the
body
.
The
air
is
infected
,
when
the
temperatenesse
of
the
air
is
changed
from
his
naturall
state
,
to
excessive
heat
and
moisture
,
which
is
the
worst
temperament
of
the
air
,
the
vapours
drawn
up
by
the
heat
of
the
Sun
being
unconsumed
,
rot
,
putrifie
,
and
corrupt
,
and
so
with
the
venome
infect
the
air
:
Also
dead
Carkases
lying
unburied
,
as
it
often
chanceth
in
Warres
,
evaporations
of
Pooles
,
Fens
,
Marishes
,
stinking
and
noysome
sents
and
Kennels
,
and
Astronomers
say
,
Aspects
,
Conjunctions
and
Oppositions
of
ill
Planets
,
and
Eclipses
of
the
Sun
and
Moon
.
Also
disordering
ones
self
,
either
in
diet
or
exercises
bringeth
one
into
the
Pestilence
;
therefore
in
time
of
contagion
,
outrages
and
surfets
are
to
be
avoided
,
as
also
all
excesse
of
eating
,
drinking
,
sweating
,
bathing
,
lechery
,
and
all
other
things
that
open
the
pores
of
the
body
,
and
enter
thereby
ill
aires
,
which
invenome
the
lively
spirits
.
Signes
of
the
Plague
.
The
signes
which
declare
one
infected
already
are
many
;
but
the
secret
token
of
all
to
know
the
infected
of
the
Plague
is
,
if
there
arise
botches
behind
the
eares
,
or
under
the
arme-holes
,
or
about
the
share
;
or
if
Carbunkles
suddenly
arise
in
any
member
,
for
when
they
appear
,
they
betoken
strength
of
nature
,
which
being
strong
,
laboureth
to
drive
the
poyson
out
of
the
body
;
but
if
botches
doe
not
appear
,
it
is
more
dangerous
,
for
it
sheweth
,
that
nature
is
weak
and
feeble
,
and
not
able
to
expell
and
thrust
forth
the
venomous
humours
,
and
then
you
must
have
respect
to
the
signes
before
rehearsed
.
The
infection
of
the
Plague
entereth
into
a
man
after
this
sort
.
In
a
man
are
three
principall
parts
(
that
is
)
the
Heart
,
Liver
,
and
Brains
,
and
each
of
these
hath
his
cleansing
place
:
If
they
appear
in
the
neck
,
they
shew
the
Brains
to
be
chiefly
vexed
,
if
under
the
arme-holes
the
Heart
,
but
if
they
appear
in
the
share
,
the
Liver
is
most
infected
,
For
when
a
man
hath
taken
infection
,
it
presently
mingleth
with
the
bloud
,
and
runs
to
the
heart
,
which
is
the
cheif
part
of
man
,
and
the
heart
putteth
the
venome
to
his
cleansing
place
,
which
is
the
arme-holes
;
and
that
being
stopt
,
putteth
it
to
the
next
principall
part
,
which
is
the
liver
,
and
it
passeth
it
to
his
cleansing
place
,
which
is
the
share
,
and
they
being
stopt
,
passe
it
to
the
next
principall
place
,
that
is
,
the
braines
,
and
to
their
cleansing
places
,
which
are
under
the
eares
,
or
under
the
throat
,
and
they
being
stopped
,
suffer
it
not
to
passe
out
,
and
then
it
is
moved
twelve
hours
before
it
rest
in
any
place
,
and
if
it
be
not
let
out
within
the
space
of
four
and
twenty
hours
by
bleeding
,
it
brings
a
man
into
a
pestilentiall
Ague
,
and
causeth
a
botch
in
one
of
those
three
places
,
or
near
unto
them
The
Cure
of
the
Plague
.
When
thou
feelest
thy self
infected
,
bleed
in
the
first
hour
,
or
within
six
hours
after
,
drink
not
,
and
tarry
not
above
twelve
hours
from
bleeding
,
for
then
when
the
bloud
is
flitting
too
and
fro
,
the
venome
is
then
moving
,
and
not
yet
setled
,
and
after
it
will
be
too
late
;
those
that
are
fat
may
be
let
bloud
,
or
else
not
.
If
the
matter
be
gathered
under
the
arme-holes
,
it
comes
from
the
heart
by
the
Cardiacall
vein
,
then
bleed
on
the
same
side
by
the
Basilica
vein
,
the
innermost
vein
of
the
arme
,
If
the
botch
appear
behind
the
eares
,
above
the
chin
,
or
in
any
other
part
of
the
face
or
neck
,
bleed
out
of
the
Cephalica
vein
on
the
same
side
;
you
may
bleed
with
cupping
Glasses
,
and
Scarification
,
or
Horseleeches
.
If
the
botch
appear
in
the
share
,
bleed
in
the
ankle
on
the
same
side
,
in
any
case
not
in
the
arme
,
for
it
will
draw
up
the
matter
again
.
But
if
no
botch
appear
outwardly
,
draw
bloud
out
of
that
side
where
you
feel
greatest
pain
and
heavinesse
,
and
out
of
that
vein
,
the
greif
of
the
members
affected
shall
point
thee
out
.
If
you
perceive
the
Plague
invade
you
at
meat
,
or
on
a
full
stomack
,
vomit
speedily
,
and
when
your
stomack
is
empty
,
take
some
Medicine
that
may
resist
Poyson
,
as
Mithridate
,
or
Triacle
,
or
some
of
these
following
,
which
,
as
choise
Medicines
,
I
have
inserted
,
as
being

Edwards

For
the
Plague
.
Infuse
two
peices
of
fine
pure
Gold
in
the
juyce

four
and
twenty
hours
,
and
drink
that
juyce
with
a
little
Wine
,
with
powder

Angelica
root
:
It
is
admirable
,

The
Calenture
,
HAppeneth
to
our
Nation
in
intemperate
Climates
,
by
Inflammation
of
bloud
,
and
proceedeth
often
of
immoderate
drinking
of
wine
,
and
eating
of
pleasant
fruits
,
which
are
such
nourishers
thereof
,
as
they
prevent
the
meanes
used
in
curing
the
same
.
To
know
the
Calenture
.
At
the
first
apprehension
it
afflicts
the
Patient
with
great
pain
in
the
head
,
and
heat
in
the
body
,
which
is
continuall
or
increasing
,
and
doth
not
diminish
and
angment
,
as
other
Fevers
doe
;
and
is
oft

the
Taberdilla
or
Pestilence
,
but
then
the
body
will
seem
very
yellow
.
To
cure
the
Calenture
.
So
soon
as
you
perceive
the
Patient
possest
of
the
Calenture
,
(
except
the
Chirurgion
,
for
danger
of
the

defer
it
)
I
have
seen
the
time
of
the
day
not
respected
,
open
the
Median
vein
of
the
right
arm
,
and
take
such
quantity
of
bloud
,
as
agreeth
with
the
ability
of
the
bodie
;
but
if
it
asswage
not
the
heat
by
the
next
day
,
open
the
same
vein
in
the
left
arme
,
and
take
so
much
more
like
quantity
of
bloud
at
his
discretion
;
and
if
the
body
be
costive
,
(
as
commonly
they
are
)
give
him
some
meet
purgation
,
and
suffer
him
to
drink
no
other
then
water
cold
,
wherein
Barley
and
Annise-seeds
have
been
boyled
with
bruised
Liquorice
.
And
if
within
4.
dayes
the
partie
amend
not

take
it
again
,
open
the

bathing
them

water
,
untill
there
come
so
much

requires
.
Suffer
not

to
drinke
seven

The
Taberdilla
,
IS
a
disease
so
called
by
the
Spaniards
,
by
the
Mexicans
,
Cocalista
,
and
by
other
Indians
is
named
Taberdet
,
and
is
so
exceeding
pestilent
and
infectious
,
that
whole
Kingdomes
in
both
the
India's
have
been
depopulated
by
it
,
for
want
of
knowledge
to
redresse
themselves
of
it
.
To
know
the
Taberdilla
.
It
first
assaults
the
Patient
vehemently
with
pain
in
the
head
and
back
:
and
the
body
seeming
yellow
,
is
some
sign
thereof
,
and
within
24
hours
it
is
so
torturous
,
that
the
possest
thereof
cannot
rest
or
sleep
,
turning
himself
on
either
side
,
back
or
belly
,
burning
in
his
back
most
extreamly
.
And
when
it
growes
to
perfection
,
there
will
appear
red
and
blue
spots
upon
the
Patients
breast
a●…d
wrists
.
And
such
persons
as
have
not
presently
requisite
means
applyed
to
them
to
prevent
it
,
will
be
,
by
the
vehement
torment
thereof
,
deprived
of
their
wits
,
and
many
to
cease
their
pain
by
losse
of
their
lives
have
despairingly
slain
,
and
drowned
themselves
.
The
Cure
of
the
Taberdilla
.
When
you
perceive
it
afflict
the
Patient
,
permit
him
not
to
lie
very
warm
,
nor
upon
feathers
(
for
of
what
quality
soever
he
bee
in
Spain
,
having
this
sickness
he
is
laid
upon
wheatstraw
:
)
Then
immediatly
open
the
Median
Vein
,
first
in
one
arm
,
and
the
next
day
in
the
other
,
taking
a
good
quantity
of
bloud
:
Let
him
have
water
cold
,
wherein
Barlie
and
Annise-seeds
have
been
sodden
without
Liquorice
(
for
the
Spanish
Physitians
hold
Liquorice
to
bee
hurtfull
unto
them
)
so
much
as
he
will
desire
,
which
will
be
every
moment
;
but
no
other
drink
,
nor
any
raw
fruits
:
Assoon
as
the
spots
appear
,
give
him
some
Cordiall
potion
:
and
laying
him
upon
his
belly
,
set
six
Ventoses
together
on
his
back
,
between
and
beneath
the
shoulders
;
and
scarifying
them
,
draw
out
(
if
it
be
a
body
of
strong
constitution
)
18
ounces
of
bloud
.
After
which
,
and
that
he
hath
slept
,
he
will
find
ease
within
twenty
four
hours
,
and
such
alteration
in
himself
,
as
he
will
thinke
he
is
delivered
of
a
most
strange
torment
.
Then
give
him
moderately
nourishing
meats
,
(
for
he
will
desire
to
eat
much
)
the
fourth
day
,
give
him
some
convenient
Purgations
.
And
if
in
the
mean
while
he
is
costive
,
provoke
him
every
day
by
Clisters
;
and
warn
him
to
forbear
15
dayes
all
other
drink
then
what
is
ordained
:
And
be
very
carefull
of
his
diet
,
for
if
this
Taberdilla
,
which
we
call
here
in
England
Gods
Tokens
,
come
againe
unto
the
Patient
,
he
can
hardly
escape
it
.
And
it
is
no
lesse
Infectious
,
then
the
usuall
English
Plague
.
The
Espinlas
IS
a
strange
sicknes
,
usuall
in
those
parts
to
such
as
take
cold
in
their
Breasts
,
after
great
heat
or
travell
.
It
comes
most
times
to
those
that
lye
with
their
breasts
upon
the
ground
(
especially
)
in
the
night
.
To
know
the
Espinlas
.
The
Party
having
it
,
will
be
giddie
in
the
head
,
and
have
pain
and
pricking
at
his
breast
,
as
with
many
thornes
;
from
whence
I
thinke
it
is
called
,
for
Espina
in
Spanish
signifies
a
thorn
;
and
there
will
be
upon
the
Focell
,
being
the
upper
bone
of
his
arm
,
a
hand
breadth
above
the
wrist
,
a
little
kernell
by
the
which
it
is
certainly
known
:
He
that
hath
this
disease
,
will
have
appetite
neither
to
meat
,
nor
drinke
,
nor
can
digest
meat
,
though
he
be
invited
and
moved
to
take
it
.
To
cure
the
Espinlas
.
The
Espinlas
appearing
by
the
former
signs
,
take
presently
oyle
Olives
,
and
therewith
chafe
the
kernell
upon
the
Patients
arm
,
using
so
to
doe
twice
every
day
,
untill
it
be
dissolved
;
and
laying
oyle
likewise
upon
his
breast
,
stroke
it
upward
somewhat
hard
with
the
hand
;
then
spread
fine
flaxe
upon
it
and
the
kernel
,
making
it
fast
with
a
rowler
,
and
within
two
or
three
dayes
the
diseased
will
be
recovered
thereof
▪
whereas
else
it
is
very
dangerous
to
deprive
them
of
life

LAxativeness

or
Blondy
Flux

proceed
in
those
parts
of
divers
causes
:
As
by
eating
Grapes
,
Oranges
,
Limons
,
Melons
,
Plantains
,
and
especially
a
great
fruit
growing
in
the
West-Indies
called
Pina
,
like
a
Pine-apple
,
but
bigger
then
four
of
the
greatest
which
I
have
seen
,
which
the
Spaniars
hold
for
the
most
delicate
fruit
that
is
there
,
and
many
other
fruits
.
Also
by
sudden
cold
,
or
sitting
(
being
very
hot
)
upon
a
cold
stone
,
or
being
hot
by
drinking
water
abundantly
.
And
also
eating
of
Butter
,
Oyle
,
and
Fish
is
so
hurtfull
to
the
parties
that
have
it
,
that
they
must
refrain
to
eat
thereof
,
and
whatsoever
else
,
that
may
ingender
any
slimie
substance
in
the
Intrals
.
The
Cure
of
the
Bloudie
Flux
.
There
is
more
possibility
of
cure
,
by
how
much
more
expedition
the
medicine
is
ministred
:
and
detracting
it
,
the
Patients
often
die
suddenly
,
without
feeling
much
grief
.
For
speedy
and
assured
remedie
,
the
Patients
bodie
must
be
cleansed
of
the
sliminess
,
ingendred
in
the
passages
of
the
nutriments
,
before
any
sustenance
can
remain
in
his
bodie
.
To
that
purpose
purge
him
in
the
morning
,
with
halfe
a
pint
of
white
wine
cold
,
wherein
half
an
ounce
of
Rubard
being
smal
cut
hath
been
sodden
,
putting
some
Sugar
Candie
to
it
,
to
sweeten
it
,
and
immediatly
after
he
hath
so
purged
,
keep
at
his
navell
Rosemary
sod
in
strong
Vinegar
,
applyed
in
the
morning
and
evening
very
hot
,
untill
it
be
stayed
;
giving
him
often
Quinces
bruised
,
and
rouled
in
Marmalade
like
Pills
,
which
he
should
swallow
whole
,
and
none
of
the
fruits
or
meats
before
recited
,
nor
any
more
white
wine
,
but
red
wine
of
any
sort
:
And
if
it
be
one
the
land
use
the
Livers
of
Goats
,
(
especially
)
Sheeps
,
or
Bullocks
rosted
;
not
willingly
permitting
the
Patient
to
eat
any
other
meat
:
And
if
at
Sea
,
Rice
onely
sodden
in
water
,
rather
then
any
thing
else
usuall
there
,
untill
the
infirmitie
bee
perfectly
asswaged
.
The
Erisipela
,
REigneth
much
in
those
Countries
,
proceeding
from
the
unwholsome
aires
and
vapours
those
hot
Countries
doe
yeeld
,
whereof
many
perish
;
and
if
it
bee
not
prevented
by
Medicines
presently
ministred
to
the
Sick
Patients
,
it
proveth
incurable
.
To
know
the
Erisipela
.
Hee
will
be
swoln
in
the
face
,
or
some
part
of
him
,
and
it
will
be
of
yellow
colour
mixed
with
red
.
And
when
it
is
pressed
with
the
finger
,
there
will
remain
a
sign
or
dint
of
the
same
,
and
then
by
degrees
it
will
fill
again
to
the
former
proportion
.
It
speedily
infecteth
the
inward
parts
,
because
such
swellings
come
sooner
unto
perfection
in
hot
places
,
then
in
temperat
Countries
,
and
therefore
the
diseased
thereof
,
must
immediatly
be
provided
of
remedie
.
To
Cure
the
Erisipela
.
The
Savage
people
first
found
out
perfectly
how
to
cure
this
disease
,
(
though
it
is
the
Spanish
name
of
the
Maladie
)
by
bruising
so
much
Tobacco
as
will
yeeld
four
spoonfuls
of
juyce
,
and
to
drinke
it
presently
after
they
are
infected
therewith
,
and
to
launce
the
places
swollen
,
thereunto
putting
Casade
wet
,
and
made
into
paste
,
continuing
in
cold
and
shadie
places
neer
Rivers
:
and
not
to
travell
and
labour
till
they
bee
recovered
:
The
Spaniards
in
India
doe
recover
themselves
by
taking
the
same
juyce
of
Tobacco
,
and
setting
so
many
Ventoses
upon
the
swoln
places
as
they
can
contain
,
scarifying
them
,
and
drawing
out
the
corrupted
humour
so
congealed
,
using
the
like
in
two
or
three
other
parts
of
the
bodie
,
where
the
disease
doth
not
appeare
.
The
juyce
of
Tobacco
is
very
excellent
to
expell
poison
,
and
is
the
ordinary
remedie
used
by
the
Indians
,
and
other
Savages
when
they
are
poisoned
,
and
bitten
with
Scorpions
,
or
other
venemous
creatures
:
But
they
make
presently
some
incision
where
they
are
bitten
or
stung
,
and
wash
it
with
the
juyce
of
Tobacco
,
then
applying
the
same
bruised
thereunto
two
or
three
dayes
,
they
heal
it
up
with
dried
Tobacco
.
The
Tinoso
or
Scurvie
.
IS
an
infecting
disease
sufficiently
known
unto
Sea-fayring
men
,
who
by
putrified
meats
,
and
corrupted
drinks
,
eating
Bisket
flourie
,
or
foul
crusted
,
and
wearing
wet
apparrel
(
especially
sleeping
in
it
)
and
slothfull
demeanour
,
or
by
grosse
humours
contained
in
their
bodies
get
the
same
,
To
know
the
Scurvie
.
Many
have
perished
when
they
returned
out
of
hot
Regions
into
cold
Climates
,
where
they
have
had
the
parts
of
their
bodies
,
which
with
heat
,
were
nimble
and
tractable
to
every
motion
of
the
Spirits
,
dulled
and
benummed
with
cold
,
which
is
a
token
that
this
disease
is
ingendring
in
their
joynts
;
and
soonest
appears
by
swelling
of
their
ankles
,
and
knees
,
and
blackness
of
their
gums
,
or
looseness
of
their
teeth
,
which
will
sometimes
come
forth
,
when
there
is
no
remedie
used
in
season
.
Preservatives
against
the
Scurvy
.
You
must
have
a
care
to
preserve
those
things
before
rehearsed
well
conditioned
,
the
badnesse
whereof
,
in
part
breed
this
disease
;
they
must
use
exercise
of
body
,
and
such
as
are
exempted
from
doing
of
labour
,
must
hang
or
swing
by
the
armes
twice
or
thrice
every
day
;
they
must
not
have
scarcity
of
drink
in
hot
climates
,
and
coming
into
the
cold
,
must
be
daily
releeved
with
Aqua
vita
or
Wine
:
It
is
also
an
assured
Medicine
against
this
disease
,
to
have
such
quantity
of
Beer
brewed
with
graines
and
long
Pepper
,
as
in
the
morning
,
twice
every
week
,
there
may
be
given
a
good
draught
to
a
man
,
proportioning
three
quarters
of
a
pound
of
graines
,
and
three
quarters
of
a
pound
of
long
Pepper
,
to
a
Hogshead
of
Beer
:
Also
white
Wine
,
or
Syder
,
boyled
and
brewed
with
graines
and
long
Pepper
in
like
quantity
,
is
very
singular
good
:
And
it
is
not
fit
to
suffer

gummes
to
abound
with
flesh
,
and
therefore
sometimes
let
them
bleed
,
and
cleer
them
with
strong
Vinegar
.
To
cure
the
Scurvy
.
If
the
Scurvy
be
setled
in
his
mouth
,
the
corrupted
and
black
flesh
must
be
taken
away
,
and
his
mouth
washed
with
strong
Vinegar
,
wherein
graines
and
long
Pepper
have
been
infused
and
brewed
,
and
give
him
daily
the
drink
that
is
before
prescribed
;
and
as
well
such
as
have
it
in
their
mouths
,
as
those
that
are
swoln
in
their
limbs
,
must
have
some
meet
Purgation
presently
;
but
those
so
swoln
or
stiffe
(
for
so
some
will
be
without
swelling
)
to
scarifie
the
parts
infected
,
and
to
apply
thereto
a
Poultis
or
Cataplasme
of
Barly
meal
,
more
hot
than
the
Patient
will
willingly
suffer
it
;
so
doing
every
morning
,
permit
him
not
to
rest
two
houres
after
,
although
being
nummed
or
faint
,
he
be
supported
to
walk
,
and
suffer
him
not
to
eat
any
salt
meats
,
if
other
meats
may
be
had
.
My self
having
eighty
men
,
eight
hundred
leagues
out
of
England
,
sick
of
the
Scurvy
,
I
used
scarifiing
,
and
to
the
places
scarified
(
being
destitute
of
the
helps
mentioned
)
I
applyed
Poultisses
of
Bisket
beaten
in
a
morter
,
and
sod
in
water
,
which
,
with
the
comfort
of
some
fresh
meats
obtained
,
recovered
them
all
except
one
person
,
and
they
arrived
in
England
,
perfectly
sound
.

The

with
corrupt

putrified
flegm
,
and
corruption
of
bloud
,
debility
of
nature
,
and
faintnesse
of
heart
;
it
happeneth
also
when
the
Liver
is
weakened
that
it
cannot
convert
the
nourishment
into
bloud
,
but
the
digestion
is
raw
and
crude
,
so
that
the
whole
body
is
filled
with
water
and
flegm
instead
of
good
bloud
;
it
is
cheifly
found
in
young
Maidens
,
who
desire
to
abate
their
fresh
colours
,
and
,
as
they
conceive
,
to
be
fine
,

fair
,
and
foolishly
feed
upon
trash
(
which
altereth
the
colour

)

they
that
have
this
disease
are
very
pale

greenish
;
if
they
chance
to
cut
their
finger
,
no
bloud
,
but
water
,
will
follow
;
they
feele
great
pain
in
their
head
,
with
continuall
beating
,
are
faint
,
short-breathed
,
and
their
naturall
Flowers
are
stopped
and
stayed
,
to
the
prevention
and
cure
whereof
,
the
body
must
first
be
well
and
orderly
purged

the
Medicines
