and considering how many unusual and mixt distempers of these times are , and how many perish for want of help ; and withal , considering how much testimonals upon a frequent experience is acceptable to the weak and distempered , we thought it but just and tender to recommend these medicines , as what may be of good service and benefit to many , who are yet unacquainted with them , and to the end they may be made publick , for the good of all under necessity , for their health , especially among friends : and the mercy of god therein known and received to his praise , we in uprightness and sincerity of our hearts do send these lines unto you , and with the salutation of our dear and brotherly love , in the fellowship of the blessed truth remain bristol , the 2d of the 8th moneth , 1681. your friends and brethren in truth and righteousness , richard snead , thomas callowhill , charles iones , richard vickeris . we do further recommend these medicines to the experience of such as practise physick , not doubting , but from thence they will find sufficient encouragement to make use of them , especially in dangerous and acute distempers , as surfeits , gripes , feavers , small pox , plurisies , and the like . having perused the above recommendation , i must needs say , it answers my frequent thoughts about those medicines ;

texts based on the image sets published by proquest via their early english books online (eebo) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). the general aim of eebo-tcp is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic english-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in eebo. eebo-tcp aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the text encoding initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). the eebo-tcp project was divided into two phases. the 25,363 texts created during phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 january 2015. anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. users should be aware of the process of creating the tcp texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. text selection was based on the new cambridge bibliography of english literature (ncbel). if an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in ncbel, then their works are eligible for inclusion. selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. in general, first editions of a works in english were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably latin and welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in oxford and michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet qa standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. after proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of tcp data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a tcp editor. the texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the tei in libraries guidelines. copies of the texts have been issued variously as sgml (tcp schema; ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p5, characters represented either as utf-8 unicode or tei g elements).

batch review (qc) and xml conversion certaine philosophical preparations of foode and beuerage for sea-men , in their long voyages : with some necessary , approoued , and hermeticall medicine ; and antidotes , fit to be had in readinesse at sea , for preuention or cure of diuers diseases . and first for foode . a cheape , fresh and lasting victuall , called by the name of macaroni amongst the italians , and not vnlike ( saue onely in sonne ) to the cus●cus in barbary , may be vpon reasonable warning prouided in any sufficient quantity , to serue either for change and variety of meat , or in the want of fresh victual . with this , the author furnished sir francis drake and sir iohn hawkins , in their last voyage . 2 any broth or colase , that will stand cleare and liquid , and not gellie or grow thicke when it is cold , may also be preserued by this lire of nature from all mouldinesse , sowrenesse , or corruption , to any reasonable period of time that shal be desired . a necessary secret for all sicke and weake persons at sea , when no fresh meate can be had , to strengthen or comfort them . 3 now for beuerage : all the water , which to that purpose shall bee thought needefull to be caried to sea , will bee warranted to last sweete , good , and without any intention to putrefaction , for 2 , 3 , or 4 yeeres together . this is performed by a philosophicall fire , being of a sympatheticall nature with all plants and animals . in the space of one moneth , the author wil prepare so many tunnes thereof , as shall be reasonably required at his hands . 4 by this meanes also both wine , perrie , sider , reere , ale , and vineger , may be safely kept at sea , for any long voyage , without feare of growing dead , sowre or mustie . 5 and , as for medicine , if any nobleman , gentleman , or merchant , shall by his physition be aduised to cary any speciall distilled waters , decoctions , or iuyces of any plant or any other liquid vegetable or animall body whatsoeuer with him in any long voyage , this author will so prepare the same onely by fortifying it with his owne fire of kinde , that he may be assured of the lasting and durabilitie thereof , euen at his owne pleasure . 6 here i may not omit the preparation of the iuice of limons with this fire : ●ecause it hath of late been found by that worthy knight sir iames lancaster to be an assured remedy in the scurby . and though their iuice will , by naturall working and fermenting , in the end so spiritualize it selfe , as that it will keepe and last either simply of it selfe , or by the help of a sweete oliue oyle supernatant : yet this author is not ignorant , that it hath lost much of his first manifest nature , which it had whilest it was conteined within his owne pulp and fruit : ( as is euident in the like example of wine , after it hath wrought long , which differeth exceedingly both in taste and nature from the grape out of which it was expressed ) whereas being strengthened with this philosophicall fire , it retaineth still both the naturall taste , race , and verdure , that it had in the first expression : and so likewise of the orange . 7 there is also a specificall powder for agues quotidian , and tertian● and sometimes it helpeth quartans . halfe a dramme is sufficient for a man : and a quarter of a dramme for a child . it is taken in white wine beere , or ale. it cureth sometimes at the first taking , often at the second , and seldome or neuer falleth at the third time . it is not offensiue to the taste . it expelleth the disease , without any euacuation or weakening of the patient . 8 a sweete paste , for the head-ache : which commonly giueth ease , in one houres space , either vpon the first or second taking , because it is specificall . the dose is the weight of ● . d. 9 a safe , general & gentle purging powder , to be taken in white wine , working easily without any convulsion , or other offence to the stomacke . it is pleasant , and hath not any common or knowen purgatiue therein . it weakeneth not the patient , neither doeth the body grow costiue after it : which is vsuall in most of the common purgatiues . there haue been so many trials made vpon all sorts of complexions with this powder , as that it may well deserue the name of a generall purge : yet i can least commend it in cholericke bodies . the dose is two drammes and an halfe at a time . this being taken in warme weather for three dayes together , in the spring and fall , will preuent both the gowte and dropsie , and most of those diseases that spring from rheumaticke causes : and if it cure them in eight or ten dayes , take it for aduantage . it cureth the pockes newly taken in fiue or sixe dayes : and in tenne or twelue dayes , at the most , it cureth a deepe rooted pocke . 10 and if the plague , burning ●eauer , or small pockes , or meazels happen to infect any of the souldiers or mariners , or others in the ship : then if , within sixe or eight houres after infection , a dose of my antidotary powder ( whereof eight graines are sufficient ) be taken , it commonly preuenteth the rage and violence of the plague , by mastering the poyson , seldome suffering any sore to arise : and it disperseth and conquereth the matter of the small pockes and meazels : whereby in a few houres it vanisheth , without making the patient heart-sicke . and , in the cure of any kind of poyson , no vnico●es horne , no be●●ar stone , no terra lemnia or sagilleta , no mithridate &c. is able to match the same , though taken in a double proportion . it is an excellent remedie against swooning , or any sodaine passion of the heart . 11 there is also a medicine , which i will commend for the sea ( being a notable astringent powder ) which stayeth any flux of blood in a short time , and often cureth the piles and emerhoides . 12 the essences of spices and floures ( as of cinnamom , cloues , mace , nutmegs , rosemary , sage , &c ) being in the forme of powders , may with lesse danger be caried at sea , are more apt to be mixed and incorporated with syrupes , ●●leps or conserues , are more pleasing to nature , and are more familiarly taken , and with better successe then the chymicall oyles themselues , drawen by limbecke : their effects are answerable to the nature of the oyles . thus much i am bold to offer and publish for the benefit of sea-faring men , who for the most part are destitute both of learned physitions and skilfull apothecaries : and therefore haue more neede then others to cary their owne defensatiues and medicines about them . which if it shall receiue enterteinement according to the worth thereof and my iust expectation , i may happily be encouraged to prie a little further into natures cabinet , and so to disperse some of her most secret iewels , which she hath long time so carefully kept , onely for the vse of her dearest children : otherwise , finding no speedy or good acceptance of this my proffer ( but rather crossed by malice or incredulity ) i doe here free and enlarge my selfe from raine owne fetters : purposing to content my spirits , with such priuate and pleasing practises , as may better sort with my place and dignitie , and in likelyhood prooue also more profitable in the ende , then if i had thankelesly deuoted my selfe to bo● public●● . in which course , happy men are sometimes rewarded with good words : but few or none , in these dayes , with any reall recompense . vt deus per naturam , sic natura per ignem philosophicum . h. p. miles .
