1.
Of
the
Pockes
,
how
to
know
them
,
and
the
cause
whereof
they
spring
.
TO
knowe
the
originall
of
this
filthie
sicknesse
,
there
is
further
regard
to
be
had
,
then
to
the
onely
act
of
intemperancie
,
for
the
chéefe
cause
thereof
,
was
the
influence
of
the
heauens
,
which
in
the
very
instant
when
this
disease
first
shewed
it selfe
,
did
so
strongly
infect
the
secret
parts
both
of
man
and
woman
,
that
thereby
the
said
disease
(
first
in
the
Parents
,
and
after
in
the
children
)
hath
with
a
certaine
secret
poison
,
infected
and
spoiled
the
whole
bodie
,
shewing
it selfe
commonly
(
though
not
alwaies
)
in
the
secret
parts
.
For
those
parts
by
the
influence
of
the
stars
are
first
of
all
infected
,
and
then
the
person
so
infected
,
giuing
him selfe
to
incontinence
,
dooth
cause
the
saide
disease
to
shewe
it selfe
,
first
in
the
secret
parts
,
and
afterwards
throughout
the
whole
bodie
,
and
béeing
infected
themselues
,
doo
also
ingender
infected
children
,
as
they
also
doo
that
are
infected
with
the
Leprosie
.
For
the
Leprosie
and
this
disease
are
so
neere
of
kinne
,
that
they
are
Cozen-germanes
to
each
other
,
therefore
such
infected
persons
,
must
of
necessitie
begette
corrupt
children
,
because
that
their
séede
is
also
infected
,
and
afterward
such
children
are
yet
more
corrupt
,
by
reason
of
the
corrupt
milke
that
they
sucke
from
their
Mothers
:
so
that
it
is
almost
impossible
to
cure
the
saide
children
the
disease
béeing
so
rooted
in
them
.
First
through
the
infection
of
the
seede
,
〈◊〉
and
next
of
the
milke
:
but
such
children
so
borne
and
nourished
,
are
sometimes
not
so
greatly
troubled
with
open
sores
and
botches
as
their
Parents
haue
béen
,
but
they
haue
many
greefes
and
paines
in
their
bodies
,
so
that
it
shold
séeme
that
they
are
not
troubled
with
this
disease
,
but
with
the
Gout
or
some
such
like
,
notwithstanding
it
is
nothing
els
but
the
Pockes
,
but
that
it
chaungeth
by
meanes
of
generation
,
and
the
complexion
of
the
child
which
differeth
from
the
Parents
.
These
two
,
to
witte
,
the
influence
or
impression
of
the
heauens
,
and
the
generation
,
are
the
first
and
principall
causes
of
this
disease
,
and
for
that
the
influence
is
partly
past
and
gone
,
we
may
also
perceiue
the
furie
of
this
disease
to
be
partlie
asswaged
,
and
therefore
not
so
terrible
as
it
hath
beene
,
and
the
older
it
is
,
the
feebler
it
becommeth
,
but
though
the
Pockes
doo
vanish
away
,
yet
there
spring
other
diseases
enowe
,
different
from
those
that
heeretofore
haue
raigned
,
so
that
we
are
enforced
to
séeke
for
newe
remedies
to
heale
the
said
new
diseases
.
For
euery
disease
hath
his
proper
remedy
wherewith
to
be
cured
,
and
vntill
the
same
remedie
be
vsed
,
the
Patient
cannot
be
holpen
,
but
is
the
longer
the
more
spoiled
,
vntill
in
the
ende
there
commeth
one
,
who
by
chance
vseth
the
right
remedie
,
and
so
ignorantly
by
good
fortune
healeth
the
Patient
.
Whatsoeuer
shall
be
needfull
to
the
curing
of
the
Pocks
or
any
other
disease
springing
thereof
,
shal
by
Gods
helpe
be
perfectlie
taught
in
this
Booke
,
so
that
nothing
shall
be
wanting
therein
.
To
proceede
now
with
other
causes
of
diseases
,
you
shall
vnderstand
that
there
are
many
other
causes
besides
those
afore
mencioned
:
for
though
those
are
the
principall
,
yet
it
chaunceth
notwithstanding
,
that
some
doo
fall
into
thys
foule
disease
,
which
through
the
impression
or
influence
were
not
so
much
inclined
thereto
,
and
that
chaunceth
through
companying
with
women
,
where
through
the
secret
parts
are
first
infected
,
then
the
blood
throughout
the
whole
body
,
&
lastlie
the
newes
,
the
flesh
and
the
bone
.
It
happeneth
also
a
man
to
be
infected
by
sweat
,
and
that
commeth
by
lying
with
another
,
for
when
one
man
lieth
with
another
that
is
infected
,
and
the
●●me
doo
sweat
sore
,
hee
must
needes
be
infected
with
the
venome
of
his
sweate
.
But
this
infection
dooth
not
alwaies
chaunce
,
for
if
the
person
infected
haue
had
it
a
long
time
,
and
that
it
doth
not
appeare
outwardly
,
but
lyeth
hidden
inwardlie
,
he
dooth
not
infect
so
sore
,
nor
so
soone
as
those
that
are
but
newlie
infected
with
it
.
Therefore
let
euery
man
take
heede
,
that
he
doo
not
lye
with
them
whom
he
knoweth
not
,
for
that
it
is
very
dangerous
,
therfore
I
counsaile
euery
man
to
haue
great
regard
heereof
,
to
eschew
such
a
danger
.
Now
we
will
shewe
the
signes
whereby
one
may
knowe
when
any
man
is
infected
with
this
disease
,
for
a
thousand
are
taken
in
hande
to
be
cured
with
the
receipts
for
the
Pockes
,
which
are
not
infected
therwith
,
but
with
some
other
disease
,
as
the
Goute
,
the
Dropsie
,
and
such
like
,
these
and
other
moe
as
are
all
old
Ulcers
,
and
other
infections
of
the
skinne
,
are
altogether
,
or
for
the
most
part
,
taken
in
hande
to
be
cured
with
such
remedies
,
as
pertaine
properly
to
the
Pocks
,
which
happeneth
oftentimes
,
to
the
great
hurt
of
the
Patient
,
yea
to
his
vtter
ruine
.
Therefore
you
ought
to
take
great
héede
that
you
vse
not
the
remedies
pertaining
to
the
Pockes
,
till
such
time
as
you
knowe
perfectly
,
that
the
disease
springeth
from
no
other
cause
but
the
Pockes
.
Therefore
you
shal
learn
to
know
it
thus
.
When
this
disease
doth
first
attach
any
man
,
hee
doth
alwaies
feele
great
pricking
and
shooting
betwéene
the
skinne
and
the
flesh
,
and
when
he
beginneth
to
were
warme
,
it
troubleth
him
so
that
he
cannot
abide
it
,
and
whosoeuer
hath
not
(
for
a
certaine
space
)
felt
or
béene
greatly
troubled
with
such
pricking
or
shooting
,
although
their
disease
seeme
ouglie
or
lothsome
,
yet
it
is
not
so
ill
as
they
suppose
,
but
is
sprung
of
some
other
cause
.
And
if
a
man
chaunce
to
get
any
infirmitie
in
his
secret
part
,
as
botches
,
running
,
or
such
like
,
and
haue
not
felt
the
said
signe
of
pricking
or
shooting
,
you
shall
then
know
,
that
as
yet
no
certaine
iudgment
can
be
giuen
,
for
such
infirmities
come
sometime
before
the
signe
can
shew
it selfe
,
but
when
the
wound
is
healed
vp
,
and
that
nature
is
not
sufficiently
purged
,
then
commeth
the
aforesaid
signe
,
and
the
other
euill
diseases
sometimes
many
yeeres
after
.
But
to
instruct
you
perfectly
in
all
thinges
,
you
shal
vnderstand
,
that
this
disease
taketh
place
first
of
all
in
the
sinewes
,
vppon
the
bones
,
and
in
all
the
ioynts
of
the
bodie
,
so
that
it
is
verie
hard
to
be
knowne
from
the
Goute
,
because
it
also
doth
shew
it selfe
alwaies
in
those
places
:
but
the
paine
of
the
Pockes
is
alwaies
greater
in
the
eueninges
then
in
the
morninges
,
and
dooth
encline
to
an
Ague
.
And
alwaies
(
this
excepted
)
thou
shalt
haue
regard
to
the
aforesaide
signes
of
pricking
or
shooting
,
for
if
those
signes
want
,
it
is
not
the
Pocks
,
but
the
Goute
or
some
other
colde
disease
.
And
if
the
Patient
haue
many
open
holes
very
redde
and
inwardly
white
,
which
doo
not
greatlie
spread
abroade
,
but
continue
at
one
stay
without
much
matter
,
and
will
by
no
meanes
heale
outwardlie
,
vnderstand
also
the
same
to
be
a
great
signe
,
yet
not
so
great
as
the
first
:
for
if
the
first
signe
of
pricking
haue
not
appeared
,
it
is
no
sufficient
token
of
the
Pockes
,
but
some
other
disease
proceeding
of
Melancholie
.
There
are
yet
many
other
signes
of
the
Pockes
,
as
great
Biles
,
with
great
paine
in
the
head
,
and
many
redde
pushes
on
the
fore-head
,
vnder
the
hayre
,
and
in
the
necke
,
but
although
these
doo
resemble
the
Pockes
,
and
that
very
néerely
,
yet
you
may
not
iudge
them
to
be
the
Pockes
,
vnlesse
the
aforesaid
signe
haue
gone
before
,
because
that
is
the
most
certaine
token
of
all
other
,
and
if
so
be
that
that
haue
shewed
it selfe
,
then
doubt
not
,
for
it
is
without
all
doubt
that
they
are
the
Pockes
,
and
so
much
the
stronger
as
there
hath
beene
greater
Biles
,
or
holes
as
aforesaid
where
Biles
haue
béen
,
and
also
if
there
be
great
paine
in
the
members
,
and
the
more
in
the
euening
then
at
other
times
of
the
day
,
and
that
the
aforesaid
signe
haue
appeared
,
then
you
neede
not
doubt
it
to
be
the
Pockes
.
Thus
much
of
the
Pockes
,
with
the
signes
thereof
,
nowe
shall
be
shewed
the
meanes
to
cure
them
.

2.
Of
the
abuse
vsed
in
the
curing
of
the
Pocks
,
by
annointing
or
saluing
.
THe
first
abuse
of
those
that
with
annointing
or
saluing
thinke
to
cure
this
foule
disease
,
springeth
of
this
,
that
they
doo
not
knowe
the
dysease
,
and
therefore
they
can
giue
no
good
counsell
thereto
.
For
howe
is
it
possible
to
heale
a
disease
which
a
man
neither
knoweth
,
nor
the
nature
of
it
?
For
a
man
shall
as
soone
spoile
it
as
heale
it
,
with
that
which
blindly
and
without
vnderstanding
he
doth
minister
vnto
it
.
The
seconde
error
is
,
in
the
composition
of
their
receipts
,
which
they
doo
so
wonderfullie
rumble
together
through
their
blind
ignorance
in
the
disease
,
that
it
is
a
great
wonder
that
they
bring
not
moe
men
to
the
graue
then
they
doe
,
although
they
kill
enowe
,
and
too
many
toe
.
Therefore
to
shunne
these
inconueniences
,
we
will
teach
thee
to
cure
thy
Patients
by
a
better
manner
of
annointing
,
whereof
shall
not
onely
ensue
no
perrill
,
but
also
the
health
of
the
Patient
,
according
to
thy
will
&
his
owne
desire
.
But
first
,
to
make
their
error
more
manifest
,
I
will
sette
before
thine
eyes
the
simples
whereof
they
compound
their
receipts
,
whereby
thou
maist
perceiue
what
abuse
is
in
them
:
the
simples
are
these
.
Euforbium
,
Staphisagria
,
Scamonea
,
Sal
gemmea
,
Lapis
Calaminaris
,
Pepper
,
Ginger
,
Camphier
,
Vermelion
,
Axungia
,
Saunders
,
Bolus
armenus
,
Terra
sigillata
,
Common
gumme
,
Ceruse
,
Litargirium
,
Minium
,
Crued
quicksiluer
,
Mercurius
sublimatus
,
Mercurius
precipitatus
.
These
with
other
things
moe
,
which
they
ought
not
to
doo
,
they
vse
in
their
annointing
,
which
are
hurtfull
in
diuers
respects
.
And
first
because
they
doo
vse
laxatiue
Medicines
which
are
very
hurtfull
to
be
vsed
in
such
manner
without
the
bodie
.
For
Mercurie
béeing
a
thing
that
dooth
pierce
so
sore
,
doth
also
draw
the
other
laxatiues
with
him
into
the
bodie
,
and
they
both
béeing
so
venimous
and
so
extreame
hote
,
doo
infect
the
blood
in
the
vaines
,
and
inflame
the
whole
bodie
in
such
sorte
,
that
nature
(
after
she
is
lightned
of
her
burden
,
and
discharged
of
that
which
oppressed
her
,
must
alone
heale
the
disease
)
cannot
by
any
meanes
recouer
herselfe
,
but
by
reason
that
she
is
so
sore
pined
,
is
not
able
to
make
any
resistance
but
remaineth
vanquished
,
so
that
the
Patient
is
brought
to
a
consumption
,
or
to
the
Dropsie
,
or
els
to
death
,
therfore
you
shall
in
no
wise
vse
any
laxatiues
thereto
,
howe
light
so
euer
they
be
,
because
they
are
alwaies
hurtfull
,
and
not
profitable
,
sor
of
all
that
is
vsed
in
curing
the
Pockes
,
there
is
nothing
that
dooth
anie
way
profit
beeing
outwardly
ministred
,
but
onely
Quick
siluer
,
therefore
they
are
greatlie
deceiued
,
which
with
strong
Purgations
doo
purge
the
Patient
,
thinking
thereby
to
expell
the
matter
of
the
Pockes
by
stooles
,
which
is
vnpossible
,
other
wise
then
by
purging
with
Mercurie
,
and
béeing
purged
therewith
,
hée
doth
expel
it
by
stooles
,
but
there
are
not
many
that
haue
the
knowledge
to
bring
Mercurie
to
that
strength
of
purging
,
for
it
is
a
noble
secret
:
and
it
is
also
neglected
of
the
most
parte
,
because
of
the
great
labour
and
cunning
that
is
to
be
vsed
in
preparing
of
it
.
But
I
will
sufficiently
instruct
them
in
the
Chapter
that
followeth
.
Nowe
for
the
correction
of
those
things
that
are
needefull
to
be
corrected
in
the
annointing
.
First
and
formost
you
shall
eschew
all
laxatiues
,
and
all
other
thinges
before
mencioned
,
onely
Mercurie
excepted
,
for
it
is
that
which
in
the
annointing
performeth
the
action
,
and
without
Mercurie
there
is
nothing
profitable
in
this
disease
ministred
outwardlie
,
but
inwardlie
there
are
manie
noble
remedies
beside
Quicksiluer
,
which
both
in
this
,
and
also
in
all
other
diseases
,
are
of
great
force
,
so
that
the
like
hath
not
oft
times
been
seene
.
But
because
in
this
Booke
we
haue
taken
in
hand
to
write
onelie
of
the
Pockes
,
wee
will
therefore
meddle
with
nothing
but
Mercurie
.
In
these
two
we
will
vse
such
dilligence
,
that
nothing
shall
be
vnpossible
for
you
to
helpe
in
this
disease
,
if
so
be
that
you
follow
our
counsaile
.
Nowe
to
prepare
your
Mercurie
that
it
may
outwardlie
be
ministred
without
perrill
to
the
Patient
:
you
shall
take
in
Gods
name
of
the
earth
wherin
Mercurie
groweth
,
which
is
found
in
Dutch-land
in
the
gold
&
siluer
Mines
,
this
earth
is
called
in
Dutch
Berch
ciuober
,
of
this
earth
you
shal
take
the
softest
which
is
not
yet
hardened
,
take
twentie
poundes
thereof
,
this
you
shall
beate
and
put
it
into
a
Kettle
,
&
poure
fayre
raine
water
thereto
,
and
let
it
seeth
an
howre
long
,
and
the
earth
and
the
other
filthinesse
will
seperate
it selfe
,
which
you
shall
scumme
off
very
cleane
,
then
that
which
remaineth
in
the
Kettle
,
you
shall
rub
small
,
and
put
it
into
a
Cucurbit
,
and
sette
it
to
distill
vpon
the
fire
with
great
heate
,
(
according
as
I
haue
taught
you
in
my
Booke
of
Minerall
distillations
)
and
you
shall
see
a
white
iuyce
arise
like
Milk
.
And
when
you
perceiue
that
it
will
drop
no
more
,
then
take
that
white
iuyce
,
and
sette
it
alone
to
distill
in
Balneo
marie
,
and
the
moisture
that
is
thereby
,
will
come
alone
,
and
in
the
bottome
of
the
Cucurbit
there
will
remaine
an
Oyle
,
as
heauie
in
a
manner
as
Quicke
siluer
,
(
the
manner
to
distill
by
Balneo

,
I
haue
shewed
you
sufficiently
in
my
Booke
of
the
distillation
of
Hearbes
,
to
which
Booke
I
referre
you
for
breuities
sake
.
)
The
Oyle
remaining
in
the
bottome
of
the
Cucurbit
,
as
afore
said
,
you
shall
take
and
vse
to
annoint
withall
as
foloweth
.
Take
two
ownces
of
the
aforesaid
Oyle
,
and
sixe
ounces
of
Spike
Oyle
,
these
you
shall
mingle
together
and
warme
them
a
little
vpon
the
fire
,
and
therewith
annoint
the
diseased
parts
of
the
Patient
,
but
those
parts
which
are
not
diseased
you
shal
not
annoint
therewith
,
because
it
would
doo
more
hurt
then
good
,
for
that
there
is
no
matter
whereuppon
they
may
worke
,
and
not
finding
other
matter
to
worke
vpon
,
it
would
drie
vppe
the
naturall
moysture
from
those
parts
,
but
the
diseased
parts
you
shall
annoint
as
aforesaid
in
euery
part
or
ioynt
,
and
if
there
be
any
holes
or
blaines
,
you
shall
annoint
those
also
in
the
euening
when
he
goeth
to
bed
,
and
you
shall
couer
him
very
warme
that
he
may
sweat
,
and
let
him
lye
and
sweat
two
houres
long
,
and
he
must
not
in
any
wise
stirre
himselfe
,
because
he
may
sweat
the
better
,
the
sayde
time
being
expired
,
you
shall
abate
the
clothes
from
of
him
,
and
giue
him
warme
cleane
clothes
,
that
he
may
drie
vp
the
sweate
cleane
in
euery
place
,
and
beeing
well
dryed
,
take
off
his
wette
shirt
,
and
put
him
on
a
cleane
shyrt
well
warmed
,
then
sette
him
by
a
good
fire
of
Oken
wood
,
and
dry
his
heade
with
warme
clothes
,
in
the
meane
while
make
his
bedde
,
and
lay
on
a
payre
of
cleane
sheetes
well
warmed

then
let

againe
before
it
be
colde
,
but
couer
him
not
too
warme
,
but
that
he
may
sleepe
quietly
.
In
the
morning
when
he
awaketh
,
you
shall
vse
as
you
did
in
the
euening
,
to
witte
,
with

you
shall

and
let
him
washe
his

in
warme
water
,
and
then
let
him
eate
his
meat
,
which
shall
be
such
as
heere
followeth
.
First
he
shall
eate
no
Swines
flesh
,
nor
no
salted
fleshe
,
no
Hares
,
Conies
,
Harts
,
nor
other

,
nor
no

,
sodden
with
Borage
and
a
fewe
Beetes
and
with
a
good
deale
of
Bor●age
,
other
Pottage
he
shall
eate
none
,
he
shal
eate
good
Mutton
,
Hennes
,
Partriges
,
and
all
manner
of
wild
foule
,
excepting
all
water
foules
,
and
all
that
seeke
their
liuing
or
swimme
in
the
water
,
for
that
their
fleshe
is
ill
to
digest
for
a
sicke
man
,
ingendering
naughtie
and
mellancholie
blood
,
hee
may
also
eate
good
young
Beefe
,
beeing
newlie
killed
,
and
not
long
salted
,
but
he
must
not
eate
much
of
it
,
because
it
is
hard
of
digestion
for
a
weake
stomack
:
but
of
all
other
there
is
nothing
better
for
such
a
Patient
,
then
good
young
Kiddes
flesh
that
yet
sucketh
his
damme
,
with
good
Partriges
and
good
young
Hennes
,
he
shall
not
refuse
to
eate
,
for
that
of
all
other
meates
they
are
best
:
hee
shall
abstaine
from
Pepper
,
and
Ginger
,
but
in
his
meate
he
may
vse
Cinamon
,
Cloues
,
and
such
like
,
also
Nutmegges
and
Saffron
:
he
shall
also
abstaine
from
Onions
,
Garlike
,
Skallions
and
such
like
,
eyther
rawe
or
sodden
,
because
they
vexe
the
blood
and
inflame
and
dry
vp
the
Liuer
.
His
drinke
shall
be
good
Renish
wine
,
tempered
with
water
sodden
with
Annis
seedes
,
Barlie
,
and
Masticke
,
of
each
as
much
as
a
Chestnut
,
of
this
water
hée
shall
take
one
part
,
and
of
Wine
two
parts
,
and
hée
shall
drinke
thereof
vntill
he
be
cured
:
he
shall
keepe
himselfe
verie
warme
,
and
out
of
the

within
the
house
,
he
shal
kéepe
the
windowes
and
the

shut
:
this
order
he
shall
in
all
respects
keepe
with
annointing
,
sweating
,
and
diet
,
vntil
he
be
perfectly
cured
,
for
if
he
do
as
is
aforesaid
,
he
shal
vndoubtedly
,
by
Gods
helpe
be
cured
,
although

if
so

Cap.
3.
Of
fumegation
or
smoking
,
with
correction
of
the
abuse
vsed
therein
.
THere
is
yet
another
way
of
curing
the
Pocks
,
found
out
by
practitioners
,
for
when
they
perceiued
that
of
force
they
must
vse
Quicke
siluer
,
they
tooke
and
killed
it
with
Brimstone
,
making
Cinober
thereof
,
because
it
should
not
be
knowne
to
be
Quicke
siluer
:
for
the
common
people
,
perceiuing
so
manie
to
be
spoiled
and
killed
with
Quicke
siluer
,
woulde
not
willinglie
be
cured
therewith
:
therefore
because
they
might
the
better
vse
it
without
gainesaying
of
the
Patient
,
therefore
they
brought
it
into
another
forme
,
vsing
it
also
after
another
manner
without
any
annointing
,
because
annointing
was
become
odious
to
the
Patient
,
therfore
they
found
out
a
deuice
to
perfume
or
smoke
the
Patient
,
with
the
smoke
of
Cinober
or
Vermelion
and
so
to
cure
him
,
for
they
knew
Quick
siluer
to
be
so
subtill
or
piercing
,
that
they
wold
enforce
it
into
the
bodie
at
anie
place
,
through
the
pores
or
sweat
holes
.
And
therfore
they
set
the
Patient
vnder
a
Tent
or
Canopie
naked
,
with
a
Chafingdish
of
coales
between
his
legges
,
wherin
they
strowed
the
Cinober
,
stopping
him
close
round
about
,
the
Patient
then
beginning
to
sweat
,
the
Mercurie
with
his
whole
substaunce
creepeth
into
him
in
such
sort
,
that
it
causeth
all
the
slime
in
his
bodie
to
ascende
into
his
mouth
,
infecting
and
corrupting
all
parts
of
the
Patient
in
such
sort
,
that
it
is
pittifull
to
behold
,
so
that
the
one
after
long
Martirdome
at
length
creepes
into
his
graue
,
the
other
becommeth
cripple
and
deformed
,
the
thirde
toothlesse
,
and
such
like
miserable
accidents
which
are
befallen
them
,
that
it
would
greeue
a
man
to
sée
,
how
they
haue
handled
a
number
of
their
Patients
.
For
Mercurie
béeing
vsed
corporallie
,
hath
this
nature
,
that
it
dooth
draw
all
the
corrupt
matter
of
the
Pockes
into
the
mouth
,
and
because
they
haue
dealt
so
disorderly
therewith
,
taking
more
of
it
then
they
ought
,
they
haue
therwithall
drawne
the
corruption
into
the
mouth
in
such
abundance
,
that
it
could
not
haue
sufficient
egresse
,
but
for
want
thereof
is
returned
,
and
hath
sought
him
a
place
in
the
entrailes
,
as
in
the
Liuer
,
the
Lunges
,
the
Milte
,
and
the
stomacke
,
&c.
So
that
some
are
fallen
into
the
diseases
of
the
Lunges
,
as
Plurisies
,
shortnesse
of
breath
,
Coughes
,
consumptions
,
and
such
other
,
almost
altogether
incurable
diseases
.
Others
are
fallen
into
diseases
of
the
stomack
,
as
vomitings
,
quesinesse
,
great
and
intollerable
paines
,
and
Apostoms
of
the
stomack
,
not
beeing
able
to
digest
any
good
nourishment
.
Others
are
fallen
into
diseases
of
the
Liuer
,
as
the
yellow
Iaundies
,
or
Ictteritia
,
the
Dropsie
,
the
Bloodie
flixe
,
hote
firie
Agues
,
and
such
like
.
And
some
into
the
diseases
of
the
Milte
,
as
the
Feuer
quartaine
,
the
Cancker
,
the
Woolfe
,
the
Leprosie
,
to
all
which
diseases
they
were
not
any
way
subiect
or
inclined
,
vntill
such
time
,
as
they
were
brought
thereto
by
the
vnskilfulnesse
of
foolish
Chirurgions
,
and
all
these
aforesaide
diseases
,
are
altogether
in
manner
vncurable
,
and
in
the
end
deadlie
.
Wherefore
I
would
wish
euery
man
to
take
heed
,
not
to
deale
with
Mercurie
in
any
such
sorte
as
is
before
expressed
.
But
if
thou
wilt
vse
it
in
any
such
order
as
heereafter
shal
be
shewed
thee
,
it
shall
not
onely
not
be
hurtfull
,
but
thou
shalt
also
therwith
performe
that
which
thou
promisest
to
thy
Patient
,
that
is
to
say
the
curing
of
his
disease
.
Nowe
we
will
shewe
wherewith
they
are
wont
,
and
doe
yet
perfume
or
smoke
their
Patients
:
the
simples
are
these
that
followe
:
Cinober
naturall
,
Mercurie
calcined
,
Artificiall
Mercurie
sublimed
,
Alipta
,
Muscata
,
Cloues
,
Cinamon
,
Ireos
,
Muske
,
Franckincense
,
Mastick
,
Mirha
,
with
other
such
sweete
thinges
.
These
sweet
things
they
haue
therefore
taken
,
because
the
Patient
shoulde
not
smell
the
stinke
of
the
Brimstone
&
the
Cinober
:
but
though
at
the
first
they
haue
not
knowne
him
by
the
smell
,
yet
in
the
ende
hee
hath
made
himselfe
knowne
vnto
them
by
the
feeling
,
for
that
hee
performeth
his
worke
with
great
force
,
as
those
Patients
know
verie
well
which
haue
had
experience
of
him
,
for
as
a
sharpe
poyson
,
so
goeth
he
to
worke
in
all
his
operation
.
Their
first
and
greatest
error
therefore
is
,
that
they
doo
fume
the
whole
bodie
of
the
Patient
,
where
as
they
shold
not
fume
any
more
then
the
place
where
they
know
that
the
place
desireth
to
haue
issue
.
For
in
all
diseases
,
nature
hath
her
certaine
emunctories
or
purging
places
,
where
through
she
coueteth
to
purge
her selfe
.
As
sometimes
by
stooles
,
sometimes
by
vemits
,
and
sometime
sweating
:
but
in
this
disease
,
shee
hath
more
places
to
purge
by
,
as
the
groyne
,
the
arme-holes
,
and
such
like
,
and
sometimes
other
open
holes
in
other
places
of
the
body
,
where
a
man
must
smoke
,
and
not
in
any
other
place
.
But
for
your
further
knowledge
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
Mercurie
may
be
prepared
in
diuers
manners
,
as
laxatiue
,
opilatiue
,
corosiue
,
and
attractiue
,
and
also
diaphoreticke
,
so
that
it
may
be
prepared
according
to
the
desire
of
him
that
wil
vse
it
.
But
in
this
fumigation
or
smoking
,
the
intent
is
onelie
to
make
him
attractiue
,
that
is
,
to
draw
out
of
the
bodie
,
that
which
is
hurtfull
or
hindersome
to
nature
,
but
heerein
our
cunning
Chirurgions
haue
both
been
deceiued
themselues
,
and
thereby
haue
also
spoyled
their
Patients
,
first
in
that
they
perfumed
or
smoked
the
whole
body
of
the
Patient
,
for
by
that
meanes
the
venimous
matter
,
which
before
occupied
but
one
or
two
places
of
the
body
,
they
haue
now
drawn
throughout
all
the
whole
bodie
,
secondly
in
vsing
the
Mercurie
so
grosselie
with
his
whole
substaunce
,
and
that
in
such
great
quantitie
,
they
haue
also
by
that
meanes
brought
their
Patients
to
vtter
ruine
,
and
thirdly
,
in
that
they
haue
mingled
other
thinges
with
the
Mercurie
,
where
as
it
is
the
Mercurie
alone
that
must
performe
the
action
without
helpe
of
any
other
thing
,
béeing
outwardly
vsed
by
fumigation
.
Nowe
we
will
shew
thee
the
manner
or
order
to
prepare
it
to
be
attractiue
,
with
the
correction
of
the
abuse
heeretofore
vsed
in
the
ministring
thereof
.
Although
it
hath
chaunced
sometimes
,
that
there
hath
a
Patient
or
two
beene
cured
by
meanes
of
this
aforesaid
fumigation
,
and
also
by
annointing
,
yet
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
the
came
to
passe
alone
through
the
goodnesse
of
nature
,
which
is
willing
to
helpe
herselfe
,
and
strong
to
resist
and
ouercome
the
violence
of
the
Medicine
,
but
yet
for
one
so
cured
,
there
hath
beene
tenne
thereby
spoyled
,
besides
those
that
haue
béene
sent
ad
Patres
,
to
robbe
Moles
,
but
to
eschew
all
these
inconueniences
,
you
shal
prepare
your
Mercurie
in
this
order
.
Take
Cinober
made
by
arte
(
not
naturall
Cinober
,
and
beate
it
as
small
as
is
possible
,
whereof
you
shall
take
one
pound
,
and
one
pound
of
Salt
Peter
,
mingle
them
very
wel
together
,
and
set
them
to
sublime
(
as
shall
be
taught
you
in
another
Booke
,
which
shall
intreate
of
the
preparing
of
Minerals
)
the
Mercurie
béeing
sublimed
,
you
shall
grind
it
smal
vpon
a
stone
,
then
you
shall
take
an
instrument
or
Earthen
pot
of
two
spannes
in
length
,
very
well
glazed
within
,
it
shal
be
one
spanne
wide
in
the
bottome
,
and
the
mouth
shal
be
as
wide
as
a
bigge
Apple
,
in
this
instrument
you
shall
put
of
the
aforesaid
Mercurie
,
one
dramme
at
a
time
,
and
you
shall
set
the
Patient
and
the
saide
instrument
in
such
sorte
,
that
the
mouth
of
the
instrument
may
be
placed
vpon
the
emunctorie
or
place
,
where
the
disease
desireth
his
issue
,
and
the
other
ende
vpon
a
Chafingdish
with
coales
,
making
it
hote
in
such
order
,
that
it
may
warme
the
emunctorie
,
but
heereof
you
must
take
great
heede
,
that
you
make
it
not
so
hote
,
that
you
cause
it
bodilie
to
ascende
,
for
this
is
the
thing
that
hath
kylled
so
many
,
that
the
Mercurie
with
his
venimous
hote
bodie
,
hath
beene
enforced
into
the
bodie
of
the
Patient
.
Therefore
you
must
haue
great
regarde
,
that
you
make
your
fire
in
such
reasonable
manner
,
that
you
doo
not
cause
him
to
ascende
,
but
that
his
spirit
or
dampe
alone
may
performe
the
action
,
then
you
shall
see
the
matter
issue
foorth
in
such
abundaunce
,
that
the
Patient
shal
thereby
be
deliuered
from
his
disease
.
You
shall
hold
the
said
instrument
with
the
Mercurie
so
made
,
hote
vpon
the
emunctorie
,
the
space
of
halfe
an
howre
at
a
time
,
and
you
shall
vse
this
manner
of
fumigation
euerie
night
when
the
Patient
goeth
to
bedde
,
and
let
him
sweat
euery
time
in
such
order
as
is
afore
shewed
in
the
Chapter
of
annointing
,
vsing
him
in
al
points
as
is
there
specified
,
to
wit
,
in
sweating
,
in
drying
,
&c.
In
this
order
you
may
fumigate
or
smoke
without
any
danger
,
if
you
take
héed
that
the
Mercurie
doe
not
ascend
,
so
that
you
shall
not
onelie
auoide
all
perrill
in
your
curing
,
but
shall
also
purchase
to
your selues
,
praise
and
thankes
whensoeuer
you
shall
vse
it
.
Thus
much
of
fumigation
,
with
the
correction
of
the
abuses
therein
vsed
,
now
concerning
washing
.
Capit.
4.
Of
washing
with
water
.
THere
is
yet
another
peece
of
cunning
deuised
by
the
subtill
Pock-maisters
,
which
perceiued
that
they
coulde
not
longer
vse
their
Mercurie
without
hurt
or
shame
,
and
also
without
thanke
of
the
Patient
,
for
the
Patients
perceiuing
the
great
perils
that
ensued
by
the
annointing
,
&
how
manie
were
therby
spoyled
,
woulde
not
anie
longer
trust
their
annointing
,
and
so
fared
it
also
with
their
fumigation
,
for
when
they
sawe
the
numbers
that
thereby
were
killed
,
they
feared
,
and
woulde
not
anie
longer
be
smoked
:
whereuppon
the
Pock-Maisters
,
were
enforced
to
prepare
their
Mercurie
after
another
order
,
that
hee
might
be
more
secret
and
vnknowne
,
that
they
might
yet
vse
him
,
for
they
wist
wel
,
that
without
him
there
was
no
cure
to
be
wrought
,
for
as
yet
Guaicum
was
vnknowne
,
therefore
they
tooke
sublimated
Mercurie
,
and
sodde
it
in
Aqua
vitae
,
and
wyth
the
said
Aqua
vitae
,
they
washed
the
Patient
:
which
is
a
verie
subtill
and
forcible
manner
of
curing
,
and
very
perrilous
,
which
manner
of
curing
,
I
doo
counsaile
all
men
to
leaue
vndoone
.
But
in
this
manner
following
,
you
shall
not
onely
auoide
all
daunger
,
but
shall
also
haue
good
successe
in
your
workes
,
which
if
(
for
the
great
labour
and
charge
which
is
required
in
the
preparing
of
your
Mercurie
)
you
will
not
follow
,
I
would
wish
you
to
leaue
washing
:
for
of
all
manners
of
curing
,
there
is
none
the
like
for
force
and
daunger
,
therefore
if
you
wil
not
otherwise
correct
your
Mercurie
,
it
is
not
lawfull
for
you
to
cure
any
man
by
washing
,
for
that
they
which
are
this
way
cured
,
are
in
greater
daunger
then
one
man
which
dooth
fight
against
two
other
for
life
and
death
.
But
if
you
will
prepare
your
Mercurie
as
heereafter
shal
be
shewed
,
you
shall
not
onelie
eschew
all
daunger
which
otherwise
may
happen
,
but
shall
also
performe
as
much
as
shal
be
requisite
to
the
curing
of
this
disease
,
&
as
much
as
hath
béen
hetherto
performed
by
anie
man
,
wherefore
flie
sloth
,
and
vse
diligence
in
preparing
your
Mercurie
,
whereby
you
shal
not
onely
obtaine
your
desire
in
curing
the
disease
without
feare
and
danger
,
but
also
with
great
credite
to
your selfe
,
and
profit
to
the
Patients
.
In
this
washing
,
besides
this
afore
written
,
there
is
yet
another
abuse
,
that
is
,
that
they
haue
washed
all
the
partes
of
the
body
,
as
well
those
that
were
sounde
,
as
those
that
were
diseased
,
then
the
which
they
could
not
haue
committed
a
greater
ouersight
,
for
by
that
means
they
haue
brought
the
sound
parts
into
a
worse
case
then
the
diseased
,
for
Mercurie
vsed
in
such
sort
,
is
in
the
operation
as
hote
as
fire
,
so
that
in
those
partes
wherein
there
is
no
corrupt
matter
to
bee
dryed
out
,
there
he
goeth
to
worke
,
and
drieth
out
all
the
good
and
naturall
moisture
,
and
thereby
spoyleth
the
whole
member
.
Therefore
aboue
all
things
you
must
take
heede
that
you
doe
not
wash
the
whole
parts
,
but
onely
those
that
are
diseased
,
for
the
diseased
parts
haue
matter
,
wherein
the
Mercurie
may
worke
,
and
which
is
needfull
to
be
dryed
out
.
Nowe
I
will
shewe
you
howe
to
prepare
and
to
vse
your
Mercurie
,
but
first
I
will
shewe
you
those
simples
wherewith
these
Masters
vse
to
washe
,
which
are
these
.
Mercurius
sublimatus
,
Auri
pigmentum
,
Arsenicun
,
Cerusa
,
Camphier
,
Aqua
vitae
.
These
thinges
if
I
shoulde
minister
in
this
sorte
crudlie
without
other
correction
,
I
thinke
I
shoulde
kill
all
the
Patients
that
I
shoulde
take
in
hande
.
For
by
reason
of
the
strength
of
the
Aqua
vitae
,
the
Mercurie
becommeth
so
subtil
and
so
fierie
,
that
it
is
a
great
wonder
that
they
die
not
all
that
are
taken
in
hand
to
be
cured
in
this
order
.
For
of
all
other
,
this
manner
of
curing
is
most
daungerous
,
for
the
Mercurie
by
his
subtiltie
,
and
by
meanes
of
the
heate
of
the
Aqua
vitae
,
doth
performe
his
operation
in
the
inward
parts
of
the
Patient
with
such
force
,
as
manie
sicke
Patients
haue
better
felt
then
I
can
describe
,
and
though
this
be
most
true
,
yet
there
are
some
the
vse
it
dailie
,
as
though
it
were
good
,
but
I
say
that
it
is
a
secrete
kinde
of
poyson
,
which
though
it
be
but
outwardlie
applied
,
doth
yet
not
withstanding
(
with
great
force
)
performe
his
worke
inwardly
in
the
bodie
,
for
it
inflameth
and
stirreth
vppe
the
bloode
in
such
sort
,
that
the
Patient
oftentimes
falleth
a
bleeding
,
bléeding
themselues
to
death
,
others
are
like
to
be
choked
,
so
forciblie
draweth
this
venime
to
the
hart
,
but
peraduenture
some
will
defend
his
dooings
herein
,
and
say
,
I
haue
holpen
many
therewith
,
but
I
would
faine
heare
the
Patient
himselfe
report
it
,
yet
neuerthelesse
,
I
doe
thinke
well
,
that
some
one
amongst
a
hundred
,
may
be
cured
by
this
meanes
,
but
I
conne
them
no
thanke
therefore
,
but
rather
nature
,
which
herselfe
healed
the
disease
,
and
resisted
the
storme
,
but
howe
manie
haue
they
spoiled
and
holpen
vnder
the
grounde
before
they
haue
cured
one
,
verilie
a
great
number
I
am
certaine
,
but
to
auoide
such
a
daunger
,
and
to
attaine
credit
in
this
arte
,
doo
as
is
aforesaid
,
leaue
off
your
washing
,
or
els
prepare
your
Mercurie
as
followeth
.
The
correction
of
this
washing
with
Mercurie
.
Take
Mercurie
which
is
sublimed
,
by
himselfe
without
any
addition
,
as
I
will
teache
you
in
the
fore
alledged
Booke
,
the
same
you
shall
sublime
yet
foure
times
with
common
prepared
Salt
,
then
you
shall
poure
vpon
the
said
Mercurie
,
good
rectified
Aqua
vitae
,
as
I
haue
taught
you
to
rectefie
it
in
my
booke
of
Distillations
.
This
Aqua
vitae
you
shall
set
on
fire
with
a
little
Paper
,
and
let
it
burne
till
it
be
consumed
,
then
pouré
on
more
,
and
doo
likewise
,
dooing
it
so
often
vntill
the
Mercurie
doo
cease
to
bite
or
eate
vppon
the
tongue
,
then
seeth
the
Mercurie
in
Persic●●ie
water
,
or
in
Celendine
water
,
halfe
an
houre
long
,
then
let
it
be
colde
,
and
poure
of
the
water
,
that
the
Mercurie
be
not
vsed
with
his
bodie
,
but
that
his
spirit
&
his
strength
may
come
foorth
,
and
be
coupled
to
the
disease
,
for
in
the
spirit
of
the
Mercurie
is
the
vertue
to
cure
the
disease
,
and
in
the
bodie
of
it
,
is
the
force
to
kill
and
spoile
the
Patient
.
Therefore
it
is
the
greatest
ouersight
that
may
be
,
to
take
Mercurie
and
to
seeth
it
in
Aqua
vitae
,
and
therewith
to
washe
the
Patient
,
for
by
that
meanes
,
it
entereth
corporallie
into
the
bodie
of
the
Patient
,
and
spoyleth
and
killeth
him
,
as
all
other
poisons
naturallie
doe
,
therefore
take
heed
that
in
no
wise
you
vse
it
corporallie
,
but
onelie
the
spirit
as
is
aforesaid
,
and
so
nothing
can
ensue
to
the
Patient
,
but
good
.
With
the
aforesaid
water
ye
shall
washe
or
make
wet
,
the
diseased
parts
of
the
Patient
,
euery
night
when
he
goeth
to
bedde
,
then
you
shall
lay
him
to
sweate
,
vsing
him
in
all
points
as
is
shewed
in
the
other
Chapter
,
and
you
shall
continue
this
manner
of
washing
,
euery
day
once
,
vntill
such
time
as
he
be
perfectly
cured
,
and
that
he
feele
no
more
pain
.
You
need
not
feare
to
vse
this
manner
of
curing
in
this
disease
,
for
if
you
do
as
I
haue
here
taught
you
in
this
Chapter
,
there
can
happen
nothing
but
good
to
the
Patient
,
and
credite
to
your selfe
,
so
that
you
shall
wonder
to
see
what
shall
come
to
passe
in
this
order
of
curing
,
so
that
you
may
wyth
credite
and
a
good
conscience
,
aske
your
reward
.
Thus
much
concerning
washing
.
Capit.
5.
Of
launcing
or
opening
of
Tumors
.
THere
haue
béene
some
that
haue
held
opinion
,
that
because
of
the
great
paines
that
men
haue
had
on
theyr
shinnes
,
and
the
pypes
of
their
armes
,
that
therefore
the
roote
of
the
disease
must
needes
lye
there
,
(
but
they
are
deceiued
,
for
the
roote
lyeth
in
the
bloode
)
these
going
forwards
in
their
opinions
,
haue
made
holes
vpon
the
shinnes
,
and
diuers
other
places
of
the
bodie
,
thinking
that
the
dysease
would
haue
runne
out
at
those
holes
,
and
so
haue
beene
gone
,
but
their
expectation
was
deceiued
,
for
although
they
had
made
the
skinne
full
of
holes
,
yet
the
matter
they
looked
for
,
ranne
not
out
at
them
,
but
there
issued
a
certaine
yellow
water
,
which
procéeded
of
the
paine
which
the
Corosiue
had
made
,
and
not
any
matter
of
the
disease
,
neither
did
it
concerne
the
Pocks
any
thing
at
all
.
But
I
find
no
great
fault
in
this
,
for
as
it
holpe
not
,
so
it
hindered
not
,
yet
it
was
a
great
foolishnesse
of
them
to
thinke
the
disease
to
be
so
cowardlie
to
giue
ouer
his
hold
before
any
assault
were
laid
to
it
.
But
because
there
may
chaunce
sometimes
,
much
matter
to
lie
about
the
shins
,
or
such
like
places
,
which
causeth
intollerable
paines
,
to
remedy
the
same
you
may
vse
the
aforesaid
meanes
,
to
drawe
away
the
said
matter
,
yet
not
as
they
did
,
for
they
did
nothing
but
sette
open
the
doore
,
forgetting
that
which
was
most
needfull
,
that
is
,
when
they
had
opened
the
place
,
they
should
haue
applied
a
Plaister
,
to
haue
drawne
out
the
matter
,
which
otherwise
of
it selfe
woulde
neuer
haue
come
forth
.
But
for
your
further
helpe
when
any
such
maines
do
happen
.
I
will
sette
downe
certaine
thinges
whereof
you
may
make
Plaisters
,
and
applie
to
such
open
places
,
whereby
the
matter
may
be
drawne
forth
,
and
the
paine
diminished
.
An
attractiue
Plaister
.
Take
Serapini
,
Galbani
,
Amoniaci
,
of
each
two
drams
,
Oppoponacis
,
foure
drammes
,
Bdellij
,
sixe
drammes
,
dissolue
it
in
Vineger
,
then
straine
it
through
a
cloth
,
then
séeth
it
so
long
till
it
beginne
to
waxe
thicke
,
then
put
thereto
of
Rhabarbe
two
drammes
,
Radicis
affodeli
halfe
a
dramme
,
Yellow
Amber
,
two
drammes
,
this
you
shall
beate
verie
small
,
and
then
vse
it
.
This
draweth
so
forciblie
,
that
it
leaueth
nothing
vntouched
.
But
because
this
is
no
certaine
rule
for
the
curing
of
the
Pockes
,
but
onelie
to
diminish
part
of
the
matter
,
we
will
not
stay
anie
longer
about
it
,
but
proceed
to
the
perfit
curing
of
the
same
,
and
first
of
another
manner
of
cure
vsed
by
sweating
.
Capit.
vj.
Of
curing
the
Pockes
by
sweating
.
THere
is
yet
another
opinion
sprung
vppe
,
and
that
is
this
,
to
cure
the
Pockes
by
sweating
.
This
came
first
out
of
Italie
into
Dutchlande
or
Germanie
,
and
at
length
it
became
common
heere
in
this
Countrie
:
and
indeede
for
some
it
was
good
,
but
for
others
hurtfull
,
for
flegmaticke
&
moist
bodies
,
are
thereby
dryed
and
made
curable
,
but
the
Chollericke
and
Melancholick
bodies
,
are
thereby
spoiled
,
not
with
the
sweating
,
but
with
the
hote
Medicines
that
they
vsed
to
prouoke
sweate
,
which
Medicines
so
enflamed
and
dryed
vp
the
blood
in
the
vaines
,
the
Liuer
,
the
Lungs
,
the
Milte
,
and
the
Kidnies
,
that
thereby
manie
Patients
fell
first
into
the
Feuer
quartaine
,
secondlie
into
the
Dropsie
,
and
lastlie
into
the
graue
.
Well
the
Pocks
are
not
to
be
cured
in
this
sorte
.
For
though
it
be
good
for
one
,
yet
is
it
hurtfull
for
annother
,
but
if
yee
will
cure
,
you
must
prouide
such
remedies
as
may
be
good
for
all
complexions
,
and
hurtfull
to
none
,
especiallie
héere
in
sweating
.
But
for
your
better
instruction
,
it
shall
be
necessarie
first
to
shewe
you
wherewith
they
vse
to
prouoke
sweate
.
They
haue
taken
good
strong
Wine
,
and
mingled
the
same
with
Treakle
,
and
with
other
things
which
you
shal
heare
anone
,
and
giuen
the
same
to
the
Patient
to
drinke
,
and
then
couered
him
to
make
him
sweat
,
and
this
they
haue
so
long
continued
,
vntill
either
the
Patient
was
cured
,
or
that
they
were
hindered
by
hote
Agues
which
they
brought
vpon
the
Patient
,
for
by
this
meanes
they
had
so
spoiled
the
Liuer
and
other
parts
with
heate
,
that
they
coulde
not
any
longer
vse
their
naturall
strength
,
but
went
backward
,
ingendering
euill
black
enflamed
blood
,
which
must
needes
bring
forth
Agues
and
the
Feuer
quartaine
,
therfore
now
I
wil
shew
you
the
simples
whereof
they
make
their
Medicine
to
prouoke
sweat
,
that
you
may
the
better
eschewe
them
,
and
these
they
are
.

.
Beside
these
aforenamed
,
they
haue
yet
vsed
many
other
things
,
and
moreouer
deuised
a
meane
to
cause
the
Patient
to
sweat
of
himselfe
,
without
helpe
of
any
Medicine
,
and
to
performe
the
same
,
they

,
filling
them
with
hote

,
and
stopping
them
so

,
that
no

could
issue
foorth
,
these
they
laid
in

by
the
Patient
,
and
couered
him
with
clothes
in
such
sort
,
the
by
meanes
thereof
,
and
the
warmth
of
the
Pottes
together
,
they
caused
him
to
sweat
.
This
waie
,
though
it
be
verie
good
to
prouoke
sweat
,
yet
in
this
disease
it
is
not
good
,
because
this
disease
dooth
not
suffer
it selfe
to
be
expelled
so
easilie
,
without
other
greater
helpes
,
but
in
the
Plague
.
This
is
a
verie
good
waie
and
profitable
,
yet
in
this
disease
,
sweating
is
also
verie
needfull
.
Nowe
followeth
the
correction
of
this
manner
of
sweating
.
The
correction
of
sweating
,
whereby
the
Pocks
may
be
cured
.
The
pores
or
sweat
holes
in
the
skinne
,
are
also
emunctorium
,
(
that
is
to
say
a
place
wherethrough
nature
dooth
purge
herselfe
)
yea
one
of
the
most
principall
emunctories
,
therefore
through
the
said
pores
or
sweat
holes
,
a
man
may
very
well
purge
nature
,
and
also
expell
the
matter
of
the
Pockes
,
but
not
through
the
heate
of
clothes
,
neither
of
the
aforesaid
simples
,
as
Aqua
vitae
and
such
like
,
for
the
aforesaid
remedies
they
are
not
good
for
this
purpose
:
but
the
strength
is
in
the
Mercurie
alone
,
and
it
is
hee
the
must
worke
the
feate
,
that
is
,
he
can
through
sweating
,
expell
the
matter
of
the
Pocks
,
and
knoweth
also
where
to
find
it
,
for
which
cause
he
must
be
made
to
be
diaphoreticke
,
that
is
,
to
expell
sweat
by
the
pores
,
for
beeing
brought
thereto
,
hee
is
so
subtill
in
his
operation
against
the
Pocks
,
that
it
is
almost
incredible
,
for
he
leaueth
no
corner
in
the
whole
body
vnsearched
,
expelling
all
the
corrupt
matter
that
he
findeth
.
But
the
preparing
of
him
(
I
feare
me
)
wil
be
too
troublesome
for
lazie
Practisioners
,
and
therefore
I
thinke
I
may
spare
my
labour
,
yet
notwithstanding
,
I
will
reueale
it
for
their
sakes
that
are
dilligent
,
knowing
that
he
that
desireth
the
health
of
his
Patient
,
will
spare
no
labour
,
nor
refuse
any
trauaile
to
obtaine
the
same
,
and
therefore
I
will
nowe
shewe
you
the
preparing
of
it
.
The
preparing
of
Mercurie
to
prouoke
sweat
.
Take
of
Aqua
fortis
,
a
fourth
parte
,
Tinne
,
and
Quicksiluer
,
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
,
put
this
together
in
a
Glasse
,
and
sette
it
in
a
Chafingdish
with
warme
ashes
,
(
you
must
remember
to
put
it
into
a
Glasse
,
because
the
Aqua
fortis
doth
pierce
through
all
thinges
but
onelie
glasse
,
you
must
therefore
take
a
Glasse
with
a
flatte
or
round
bottome
without
a
foote
,
and
put
it
therein
,
setting
it
in
the
ashes
as
aforesaid
)
in
the
ende
,
when
you
perceiue
the
Quicke
siluer
to
be
dissolued
,
take
it
out
of
the
ashes
,
and
let
it
stand
till
one
may
say
the
Pater
noster
thrée
or
foure
times
,
and
there
will
be
a
little
sand
in
the
bottome
,
them
poure
off
the
cleere
,
putting
it
into
another
cleane
Glasse
,
and
sette
it
againe
in
the
ashes
as
aforesaid
,
and
make
vnder
the
Chafingdish
a
small
fire
,
vntill
you
see
the
water
be
all
dried
or
sodden
out
,
then
let
it
bee
cold
and
breake
the
Glasse
,
for
otherwise
you
cannot
gette
it
out
it
will
be
so
hard
,
when
you
haue
taken
it
out
,
you
must
grinde
it
small
vppon
a
stone
,
and
put
it
in
a
small
vessell
of
Siluer
and
gylt
,
or
of
golde
,
for
that
is
best
for
this
purpose
,
the
said
Vessell
must
be
about
the
bignesse
of
a
Spoone
,
and
so
deepe
,
that
it
may
containe
the
said
matter
,
and
that
you
may
couer
the
saide
matter
with
Aqua
vitae
the
bredth
of
a
finger
.
This
vessell
you
shall
set
in
geod
strong
wine
Vineger
,
a
little
déeper
then
the
said
matter
that
is
in
the
Vessel
,
and
then
sette
the
Aqua
vitae
on
fire
that
it
may
burne
(
note
this
,
that
your
Aqua
vitae
must
be
rectified
,
that
it
do
not
containe
any
fleame
,
according
as
I
haue
taught
you
to
rectifie
it
in
my
Booke
of
Distillations
.
)
The
Aqua
vitae
béeing
consumed
,
you
shall
immediatlie
poure
on
more
,
and
let
if
likewise
burne
away
,
dooing
this
so
often
,
vntill
the
Mercurie
,
with
the
tinne
,
doo
conuert
to
a
certaine
kind
of
Oyle
that
is
thicke
and
fat
.
Of
this
Oyle
you
shall
take
one
graine
&
mingle
it
with
good
Wine
,
and
giue
it
to
the
Patient
to
drink
in
the
morning
fasting
,
and
then
couer
him
reasonablie
(
not
too
warme
)
and
you
shall
sée
that
which
will
make
you
to
wonder
,
that
is
,
you
shall
see
such
aboundaunce
of
sweat
issue
from
the
Patient
(
though
he
be
not
verie
warme
couered
)
that
wil
cause
you
greatlie
to
maruell
:
and
of
this
you
may
be
bolde
,
that
he
shall
sweat
so
much
as
may
be
good
and
profitable
for
his
nature
and
no
more
.
This
you
shall
giue
him
euery
daie
once
,
and
when
he
sweateth
,
let
him
be
wel
dried
with
warme
and
cleane
clothes
,
and
he
must
take
dilligent
heede
to
keepe
himselfe
from
cold
,
and
out
of
the
ayre
,
and
that
principallie
when
he
sweateth
,
his
diet
and
his
drinke
shall
be
in
all
respects
as
is
afore
specified
in
the
Chapter
of
sweating
,
and
you
shall
not
regard
what
hath
béene
written
heeretofore
by
diuers
,
concerning
the
not
eating
of
salte
,
for
that
they
haue
therein
greatlie
erred
,
therefore
you
shall
vse
so
much
salt
as
shal
be
needfull
for
the
seasoning
of
your
meat
to
giue
it
a
good
taste
.
But
alwaies
prouided
you
must
vse
measure
in
all
things
,
and
that
principallie
in
salt
and
sowre
thinges
,
because
that
they
two
béeing
two
much
vsed
,
are
verie
hurtfull
to
the
sinewes
,
and
for
that
cause
you
must
take
them
mesurablie
,
but
in
any
wise
not
to
vse
your
meate
without
salte
,
for
that
salt
is
the
onelie
thing
requisite
in
the
bodie
,
to
preserue
the
humours
from
corrupting
,
for
in
what
part
of
the
bodie
soeuer
the
salte
beginneth
to
lose
his
vertue
,
in
the
same
part
immediatlie
beginneth
a
filthy
rotting
,
not
much
vnlike
to
the
Leprosie
,
wherefore
in
any
wise
you
shall
not
forbid
your
Patient
the
eating
of
salt
,
for
by
that
outwarde
salt
,
the
inwarde
salt
(
which
is
in
the
bloode
,
and
in
all
the
other
parts
of
man
)
must
be
nourished
and
maintained
.
But
that
you
may
the
better
beleeue
,
that
there
is
salte
in
all
the
parts
of
mans
bodie
,
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
the
bodie
of
man
(
by
all
Philosophers
,
and
by
me
also
)
is
accounted
for
a
little
worlde
,
which
was
called
(
by
them
)
Microcosmos
,
which
little
world
doth
containe
in
it
,
all
such
things
as
the
great
worlde
dooth
naturallie
containe
in
her
.
By
which
reason
it
must
also
containe
salt
,
yet
not
bodilie
but
spirituallie
,
and
that
this
is
true
,
a
man
may
perceiue
by
this
,
that
all
whatsoeuer
issueth
from
man
,
is
altogether
salt
,
as
the
teares
,
the
sweat
,
the
vrine
and
such
like
,
wherefore
it
is
necessarie
for
the
Patient
to
vse
salt
to
maintaine
the
same
as
is
aforesaid
.
But
concerning
Vineger
,
you
shall
vse
as
little
as
is
possible
,
because
it
is
not
onelie
vnprofitable
,
but
also
hurtfull
to
nature
,
for
which
cause
you
may
not
vse
it
much
:
the
Patient
must
also
refraine
from
drinking
too
much
strong
Wine
,
and
principallie
from
sowre
Wine
,
so
that
his
drinke
shal
be
of
the
best
and
sweetest
Renish
wine
that
can
be
gotten
,
and
he
must
also
drinke
it
measurablie
,
thus
much
concerning
dyet
and
drinke
.
And
heere
you
shall
vnderstande
,
that
by
thys
manner
of
sweating
,
all
kinds
of
the
Pockes
may
be
cured
,
although
they
were
neuer
so
ill
,
yea
though
one
had
had
it
xxx
.
yeeres
long
,
so
that
to
him
that
foloweth
this
prescribed
maner
of
curing
,
there
shall
be
nothing
impossible
(
pertaining
to
this
disease
)
but
onelie
that
which
God
will
not
suffer
to
be
cured
,
wherefore
I
would
wishe
you
to
vse
it
,
assuring
you
that
you
shall
not
find
anie
other
meanes
that
shall
be
much
better
then
this
is
.
Thus
much
concerning
sweating
.
Capit.
7.
Of
curing
the
Pockes
by
Seege
,
with
laxatiue
Medicines
.
THe
Doctors
of
Phisicke
haue
also
herein
tried
all
their
cunning
,
&
vsed
diuers
meanes
with
laxatiue
Medicines
,
that
(
as
though
it
were
verie
agreeable
to
nature
)
they
might
by
Seege
expell
the
matter
of
the
Pockes
,
but
because
that
nature
diuers
times
chooseth
other
emunctories
to
purge
herselfe
by
,
therefore
their
deuices
haue
had
no
good
successe
,
for
though
there
be
manie
remedies
whereby
to
purge
the
bodie
from
his
vncleannes
,
yet
not
one
of
them
is
able
to
deliuer
the
bodie
from
this
disease
,
wherefore
I
would
not
wish
anie
man
to
purge
with
any
such
laxatiues
,
because
it
is
not
onelie
in
vain
,
but
also
verie
hurtful
,
for
they
doo
not
so
much
as
once
meddle
or
touch
the
matter
of
this
disease
,
as
beeing
altogether
vnable
to
expell
the
same
,
&
yet
because
they
must
worke
beeing
once
receiued
in
,
they
goe
to
worke
vpon
that
which
they
ought
not
to
meddle
withall
,
expelling
that
which
is
profitable
to
nature
:
yea
and
béeing
too
often
vsed
,
or
in
too
great
a
quantitie
,
they
doo
expell
the
blood
,
the
fleshe
,
and
at
last
they
doo
melt
the
marrow
in
the
verie
bones
,
expelling
it
also
,
according
as
wee
haue
seene
the
experience
thereof
in
those
which
thus
haue
béene
purged
,
for
their
flesh
falleth
awaie
,
theyr
cheekes
waxe
hollow
,
they
become
leane
and
pale
of
colour
,
which
palenes
of
colour
so
long
continueth
,
as
nature
continueth
vnable
to
clense
the
bloode
,
and
to
ouercome
the
disease
.
What
auaileth
it
then
to
purge
with
sharpe
laxatiues
,
when
it
is
the
nature
alone
that
must
heale
the
disease
.
But
I
knowe
there
be
many
that
will
say
,
and
I
graunt
it
to
be
true
,
that
by
purging
they
haue
cured
diuers
Agues
,
and
such
like
diseases
,
but
though
it
be
graunted
that
the
disease
healeth
after
such
time
as
the
Patient
is
purged
,
yet
notwithstanding
it
is
nature
herselfe
which
healeth
the
disease
,
after
that
her
enemies
are
put
to
flight
:
but
as
for
those
laxatiues
,
they
doo
not
so
forsake
the
bodie
of
the
Patient
,
but
that
they
leaue
manie
reliques
behind
them
,
which
afterward
are
the
causes
of
manie
great
euils
,
&
also
the
body
is
brought
thereby
to
such
a
custome
,
that
it
doth
looke
dailie
to
be
purged
,
and
therefore
will
not
performe
the
accustomed
digestion
as
it
ought
to
doo
,
and
notwithstanding
all
the
euils
that
doo
ensure
these
purgations
,
there
is
no
helpe
nor
comfort
to
be
expected
of
them
toward
the
curing
of
this
disease
,
because
they
doo
not
so
much
as
once
touch
it
.
Nowe
I
will
shewe
you
wherewith
they
haue
vsed
to
purge
,
to
the
end
you
may
take
heede
of
it
,
because
it
cannot
any
thing
profit
you
.
First
they
haue
giuen
the
Patient
of
these
Iuleps
or
Sirops
,
and
after
haue
purged
them
with
the
laxatiues
following
.
These
are
the
Iuleps
and
Sirops
,
Sirupus
de
fumo
terre
,
Sirupus

,
et
Epitimo
,
de
Cicorea
,
et
de
Eupatoria
.
Iulep
violatum
,
et
Iulep
rosatum
.
In
verie
hote
diseases
these
aforesaid
Sirops
they
mingled
with
these
distilled
waters
folowing
,
because
they
might
the
better
be
receiued
.
The
waters
are
these
,
Aqua
boraginis
,
Aqua
buglosse
,
Fumus

Aqua

,
Aqua

,
Aqua

,
Aqua

,
Aqua

.
These
aforesaid
waters
with
other
moe
,
they
vsed
to
mingle
with
theyr
Syropes
,
and
then
gaue
them
to
the
Patient
to
drinke
,
to
prepare
the
matter
,
and
afterward
purged
them
with
these
laxatiues
following
.
Diasene
,
Diacitoniton
,
Diacarthami
,
Agaricus
,
Coloquintida
,
Turbith
,
Elleborus
,
Confectio
,
Hamech
,
Electuarium
,

And
also
with
these
Pilles
folowing
.
Pillule

,
Pillule

,
Pillule

,
Pillule

,
Pillule

,
Pillule

,
Pillule
de
hermodactilis
,
Pillule
de
lapide
armeno
.
Vpon
all
these
aforesaid
,
I
will
God
willing
shewe
you
the
correction
,
but
principallie
vppon
the
laxatiues
,
for
that
the
other
neede
not
greatlie
to
be
corrected
.
First
you
shall
vnderstande
,
that
it
is
not
euill
or
hurtfull
that
the
matter
in
the
Liuer
and
the
stomacke
,
be
first
prepared
,
and
then
afterward
purged
with
these
Medicines
folowing
,
which
are
very
easie
and
not
burtfull
to
be
vsed
.
These
are
they
,
Diacatholicon
,
Cassia
fistula
,
Manna
rhabarbarum
,
Aloes
,
Polipodium
,
Sena
,
Epitimum
,
Mirobolanorum
fyue
sorts
or
kinds
.
For
these
helpe
to
lighten
nature
,
&
to
clense
the
blood
of
all
vncleannesse
proceeding
of
meate
and
drinke
,
they
deliuer
also
from
Agues
if
they
be
often
vsed
,
&
are
hurtfull
neither
to
olde
nor
young
,
euerie
man
may
vse
them
with
out
daunger
.
But
as
for
the
matter
of
the
Pockes
,
they
doe
not
so
much
as
once
meddle
with
it
,
but
let
it
lie
still
vntouched
.
For
that
requireth
another
manner
of
force
wherwith
to
be
roused
and
driuen
forth
,
which
pertaineth
to
the
Mercurie
alone
,
for
being
brought
to
be
laxatiue
,
he
can
find
out
that
which
the
other
could
not
find
,
and
dooth
expell
that
which
he
knoweth
to
be
offensiue
to
nature
,
not
onely
in
this
matter
of
the
Pockes
,
but
also
in
all
other
diseases
,
therefore
I
counsaile
all
men
to
vse
diligence
in
learning
to
make
the
Mercurie
laxatiue
,
as
hereafter
shall
be
taught
.
The
correction
of
this
that
hath
béene
saide
,
is
nothing
but
this
,
that
you
purge
with
no
other
laxatiue
but
onelie
with
Mercurie
,
and
to
make
him
laxatiue
,
you
must
prepare
him
thus
.
First
you
must
haue
a
kind
of
water
,
that
with
extreame
heate
of
fire
is
distilled
of
Egge-shels
,
of
this
water
you
must
take
foure
ounces
,
of
Quick
siluer
one
ounce
,
and
put
them
together
in
a
Glasse
,
which
Glasse
you
must
sette
in
a
Chafingdish
or
some
other
thing
with
sand
,
and
sette
the
Chafing-dish
in
or
vpon
the
fire
,
&
the
Mercurie
shall
dissolue
through
the
force
of
the
water
,
and
being
dissolued
,
you
shall
distill
of
the
water
,
and
poure
other
vppon
it
,
this
you
must
doo
so
often
,
vntill
the
Mercurie
become
as
redde
as
blood
,
when
the
water
is
drawne
from
it
:
this
Mercurie
is
the
right
Purgation
to
expell
the
matter
of
the
Pockes
by
stooles
.
The
Mercurie
then
being
as
redde
as
bloode
,
you
shall
grinde
it
to
fine
powder
,
and
of
the
said
powder
you
shall
giue
the
Patient
to
drinke
(
with
good
sweete
Wine
,
or
other
Wine
that
is
not
sowre
)
euery
morning
fasting
three
graines
:
or
you
may
also
mingle
it
with
Theriacle
or
Metridatum
,
and
giue
it
him
to
eate
euerie
morning
fasting
,
and
let
him
fast
after
it
at
the
least
foure
howres
,
and
then
shall
he
purge
that
,
that
is
néedfull
to
be
purged
,
and
is
the
right
matter
of
the
Pockes
,
and
it
shall
not
any
way
be
hurtfull
vnto
him
,
but
shall
clense
him
from
all
vnhealthfull
thinges
,
restoring
him
to
a
healthfull
state
,
clensing
all
superfluitie
,
and
leauing
all
the
other
humours
of
the
bodie
vntouched
.
This
is
that
,
that
purgeth
the
matter
of
the
Pockes
by
the
stoole
,
and
there
is
no
other
laxatiue
that
is
anie
thing
auailable
,
but
onelie
Mercurie
beeing
thus
prepared
.
The
Patient
must
be
kept
with
meate
and
drinke
,
according
as
is
saide
of
the
other
in
the
Chapters
going
before
,
he
must
also
be
kept
from
colde
,
&
out
of
the
ayre
,
but
principally
from
the
companie
of
Women
,
because
that
is
the
roote
of
this
disease
,
which
beeing
frequented
by
the
Patient
,
it
renueth
the
disease
,
making
it
worse
and
more
venimous
then
before
,
therefore
aboue
all
things
that
must
be
eschewed
.
And
thus
much
concerning
the
curing
of
the
Pockes
by
Mercurie
.
Heere
endeth
the
first
part
.
The
second
part
of
this
Booke
,
which
treateth
of
curing
the
Pockes
with
drinkes
made
of
Lignum
guaiacum
,
after
a
good
and
perfit
order
.
Capit.
I.
Of
the
nature
and
vertue
of
the
wood
called
Lignum
vitae
,
or
Guaiacum
.
THis
wood
is
found
in
the
Ilands
of
the
Indian
sea
,
and
is
as
common
there
,
as
our
Oke
is
heere
with
vs
,
the
people
of
that
Countrie
doo
vse
nothing
of
it
but
onely
the
leaues
&
the
smallest
twigs
,
which
they
stampe
small
,
&
wring
out
the
iuyce
of
it
,
and
so
drink
it
.
But
because
this
Countrey
is
so
far
from
vs
,
we
cannot
haue
it
so
fresh
,
as
to
take
and
vse
the
leaues
as
they
doe
,
but
are
faine
in
steed
thereof
to
vse
the
boughes
or
braunches
,
and
thereby
to
seeke
helpe
for
the
Patient
,
and
so
it
is
come
to
this
passe
,
that
of
the
said
braunches
we
make
a
certain
decocted
drink
,
by
which
the
said
disease
is
cured
.
But
yet
there
hath
beene
a
great
abuse
committed
by
diuers
,
as
well
in
the
making
or
seething
of
this
drinke
,
as
also
in
the
diets
,
with
other
like
things
,
all
which
heereafter
God
willing
shall
be
corrected
.
But
ere
we
proceede
heerein
any
further
,
I
will
declare
vnto
you
the
nature
and
propertie
of
this
wood
.
The
auncients
in
times
past
haue
had
knowledge
of
this
wood
,
and
haue
giuen
it
his
name
,
although
some
men
be
of
the
contrarie
opinion
,
supposing
that
they
knew
it
not
,
yet
I
say
that
they
are
deceiued
:
for
though
in
all
points
it
doe
not
agrée
with
that
which
they
call
Hebena
,
yet
I
saie
that
it
can
not
be
anie
other
,
but
a
certain
kind
of
the
said
Hebena
.
The
auncients
describing
the
said
Hebena
or
Hebenum
,
doe
saie
,
that
it
dooth
not
swim
,
but
goeth
to
the
bottome
like
a
stone
,
and
that
within
it
is
as
blacke
as
ynke
,
and
therefore
some
doo
saie
that
this
is
not
that
Hebena
.
To
such
wise
men
I
aunswere
,
sending
them
to
Dioscorides
,
willing
them
to
marke
his
discription
of
herbes
and
flowers
,
&c.
For
there
he
describeth
many
herbes
and
flowers
,
which
if
a
man
should
seeke
for
in
that
order
which
they
are
there
described
,
I
know
they
will
scarcely
be
founde
,
because
they
doe
not
in
all
points
agree
with
the
discription
:
and
the
reason
thereof
is
,
the
nature
of
the
Countrie
where
the
said
Herbes
doo
growe
,
for
in
one
Countrey
they
are
of
one
fashion
,
and
in
another
somewhat
different
from
the
same
,
and
sometimes
also
by
remoouing
from
place
to
place
,
Flowers
doo
alter
their
colours
,
and
become
more
double
of
leaues
then
they
were
before
,
and
yet
they
remaine
the
same
Flowers
still
,
euen
so
is
it
with
Hebena
,
for
that
which
groweth
in
India
,
is
of
another
colour
then
that
which
groweth
in
Grecia
,
and
yet
notwithstanding
it
is
a
kind
of
Hebena
,
for
it
goeth
to
the
bottome
,
as
Hebenum
doth
,
and
is
also
of
the
same
vertue
,
curing
the
same
diseases
.
Hauing
prooued
that
this
Woode
with
his
name
haue
beene
knowne
in
olde
time
,
we
will
nowe
shewe
his
vertue
and
operation
,
what
he
worketh
in
the
bodie
of
man
,
beeing
ministred
as
it
ought
to
be
.
The
vertue
of
this
wood
is
drying
more
then
any
other
Medicine
,
and
to
driue
away
the
opilations
or
stoppings
of
the
Liuer
and
the
Milte
,
being
ministred
with
opening
Medicines
,
according
as
shal
be
taught
héereafter
.
It
may
be
vsed
(
almost
)
in
all
diseases
,
beeing
vsed
with
such
Medicines
as
are
appertinent
to
the
disease
,
and
béeing
so
vsed
,
his
vertue
is
increased
,
and
hee
becommeth
of
more
force
.
Howe
to
applie
him
with
other
Medicines
,
shall
be
taught
in
other
Chapters
that
follow
.
But
peraduenture
you
will
muse
why
I
doo
now
so
much
praise
this
wood
,
considering
that
I
haue
so
much
before
praised
the
Mercurie
,
I
say
therefore
that
amongst
all
other
remedies
,
there
is
none
that
can
be
vsed
with
lesse
danger
then
this
of
Hebenum
.
Considering
the
great
danger
consisting
in
the
Mercurie
,
by
reason
that
he
is
so
venimous
,
&
that
there
are
so
fewe
which
either
can
or
will
prepare
him
in
such
order
as
he
ought
to
be
prepared
,
as
well
for
the
laboure
therein
required
,
as
also
the
cost
and
cunning
that
necessarily
belongeth
thereto
.
These
with
other
moe
are
the
causes
why
we
haue
written
thus
in
commendation
of
this
Wood
,
praising
it
to
be
the
best
and
most
surest
in
the
curing
of
this
filthie
disease
,
excepting
onelie
the
well
prepared
Mercurie
,
according
as
wee
haue
mencioned
and
taught
in
the
Chapters
before
going
:
but
as
I
say
,
Mercurie
beeing
excepted
(
amongst
all
other
Medicines
)
there
is
none
comperable
to
this
Hebenum
.
For
beeing
vsed
in
such
order
as
it
ought
to
be
,
it
may
be
ministred
without
all
daunger
,
as
well
in
hote
and
drie
,
as
also
in
cold
and
moist
complexions
:
and
dooth
also
work
great
wonders
in
many
diseases
,
such
as
are
almost
incredible
,
but
it
must
be
vsed
orderlie
,
as
in
the
Chapters
following
shal
be
taught
at
large
,
wherein
the
curing
of
eache
disease
shall
be
taught
you
in
such
good
order
,
that
thereby
you
shall
perceiue
how
greatlie
they
haue
béen
deceiued
,
which
(
after
one
manner
with
this
aforesaid
drinke
)
haue
taken
vpon
them
to
cure
all
manner
of
diseases
.
Euen
like
a
Shoomaker
which
would
make
euery
mans
shoes
vpon
one
laste
,
which
is
impossible
.
Now
we
will
proceed
to
the
choosing
of
this
wood
.
Capit.
2.
Howe
to
choose
this
Woode
,
and
which
is
the
best
.
YOu
shall
take
and
vse
the
young
and
small
braunches
with
the
barke
vpon
them
if
they
be
fresh
,
and
haue
not
béene
long
gathered
,
if
you
may
so
haue
them
,
if
not
,
then
you
shall
take
of
the
biggest
hauing
the
barke
vppon
them
,
because
that
as
they
are
greater
and
thicker
,
so
they
are
harder
,
and
drie
not
so
soone
as
the
lesser
braunches
doe
,
for
if
you
take
the
small
ones
,
hauing
beene
long
gathered
,
they
will
be
too
drie
,
therfore
it
is
best
to
take
the
olde
being
gathered
both
at
one
time
.
For
if
a
man
might
haue
it
beeing
greene
,
it
were
much
better
then
otherwise
,
but
because
that
is
not
possible
,
therefore
a
man
must
helpe
himselfe
with
such
as
he
can
gette
,
but
this
is
a
thing
to
bee
wondered
at
,
that
there
should
be
such
vertue
in
a
dry
sticke
,
to
expell
the
matter
of
the
Pocks
,
yea
it
is
almost
incredible
,
but
that
we
see
the
experience
of
it
dailie
in
diuers
persons
,
of
all
manner
of
complexions
,
so
that
we
are
enforced
to
beleeue
it
because
we
sée
it
.
Further
you
shall
vnderstande
that
,
that
Woode
is
best
which
is
of
middle
age
,
which
age
must
be
vnderstoode
of
the
growth
,
because
the
young
Trees
are
not
yet
come
to
theyr
perfection
,
and
the
olde
Trees
are
decayed
,
and
therfore
it
is
necessarie
to
choose
that
which
is
of
middle
age
,
and
that
as
greene
as
is
possible
with
the
barke
vpon
it
,
there
is
yet
one
thing
more
to
be
obserued
,
and
that
is
this
,
the
place
where
it
groweth
,
this
and
such
like
a
man
must
know
of
them
which
bring
it
ouer
.
For
that
which
groweth
in
S.
Dominicus
Iland
,
is
not
good
for
this
purpose
,
for
in
hote
and
dry
complexions
it
is
very
hurtfull
,
because
of
the
heate
and
dryth
of
the
Country
where
it
groweth
,
which
maketh
it
much
hoter
and
dryer
then
that
which
groweth
els
where
,
as
in
S.
Iohns
Iland
,
for
the
Iland
of
S.
Dominicus
lieth
right
vnder
the
Equinoctiall
line
,
by
reason
whereof
,
the
inhabitants
are
greatlie
troubled
with
heate
,
and
also
the
fruites
of
it
,
are
much
hoter
then
in
other
Countries
,
but
the
best
Woode
is
found
in
the
Ilande
of
S.
Iohn
,
béeing
not
so
hote
and
dry
as
that
of
S.
Dominicus
,
and
may
therefore
be
vsed
with
lesser
daunger
,
in
hote
and
drie
diseases
,
as
hoarsenesse
of
the
voice
,
with
shortnes
of
breath
called
Asthma
,
and
in
a
consumption
called
Ptisis
,
these
may
well
be
cured
with
the
woode
of
S.
Iohns
Iland
,
which
were
not
good
to
be
attempted
wyth
that
of
S.
Dominicus
Ilande
,
because
the
Patient
might
therby
be
brought
to
a
greater
drith
,
and
in
the
end
to
death
.
For
though
there
be
some
kind
of
men
,
so
colde
and
moist
of
complexion
,
that
they
might
better
be
cured
with
the
woode
of
S.
Dominicus
Iland
,
then
with
that
of
S.
Iohns
,
yet
notwithstanding
there
are
verie
fewe
of
them
,
and
of
those
that
are
hote
and
drie
,
or
at
the
least
wise
hote
and
moist
,
there
are
manie
moe
,
for
that
those
which
are
most
troubled
with
this
disease
,
are
for
the
most
part
young
women
,
and
young
men
,
and
are
for
the
most
part
not
so
colde
of
nature
as
they
should
neede
such
hote
Medicines
;
and
cheefely
such
dry
Medicines
,
for
by
reason
of
the
great
heate
they
drie
vp
the
naturall
moisture
,
and
thereby
shorten
the
life
of
the
Patient
,
but
the
wood
of
S.
Iohns
Iland
a
man
may
vse
without
feare
,
in
hote
and
drie
diseases
,
béeing
prepared
accordinglie
in
the
seething
,
and
also
in
colde
and
moist
diseases
béeing
prepared
thereafter
,
for
it
is
not
so
much
drying
as
the
other
,
and
is
notwithstanding
as
excellent
in
colde
diseases
as
any
other
can
be
.
For
the
Iland
of
S.
Iohn
lieth
different
from
the
Equinoctiall
line
,
almost
eyght
degrees
,
béeing
in
such
sorte
moistened
with
springs
and
Riuers
,
that
the
fruites
therof
are
much
more
excellent
,
&
more
natural
then
are
the
fruites
of
the
other
Iland
.
In
what
manner
this
wood
must
be
prepared
,
shall
heereafter
be
shewed
.
Capit.
3.
Howe
to
prepare
the
Drinke
.
SEeing
we
haue
alreadie
shewed
you
what
wood
is
to
be
vsed
in
this
Drinke
,
we
will
nowe
shewe
you
the
making
or
seething
of
it
.
I
haue
seene
the
Phisitians
vse
thys
drinke
almost
in
all
diseases
,
and
towards
all
men
,
after
one
kind
of
order
,
but
in
so
dooing
,
whether
they
did
well
or
not
,
I
leaue
to
your
consideration
.
For
how
can
a
Shoomaker
make
euery
mans
shooes
vppon
one
last
,
euen
so
is
it
with
this
drinke
,
which
hath
caused
me
greatlie
to
wonder
,
so
see
that
it
hath
been
so
doone
by
almost
all
Phisitians
.
For
howe
is
it
possible
for
a
man
to
finde
any
one
thing
,
which
being
ministred
after
one
kinde
of
order
,
shoulde
cure
all
kinde
of
diseases
,
considering
how
contrarie
one
disease
is
to
another
.
But
in
that
we
haue
héeretofore
said
of
this
wood
,
that
it
may
be
vsed
in
colde
,
and
hote
,
moist
,
and
dry
complexions
,
that
is
thus
to
be
vnderstoode
.
It
may
be
so
prepared
in
the
séething
,
that
in
hote
diseases
it
may
be
a
cooling
Medicine
,
and
it
may
also
be
prepared
to
be
a
hote
Medicine
in
colde
and
Melancholicke
diseases
,
and
to
cure
them
all
perfectlie
.
Therefore
when
it
is
to
be
ministred
in
hote
and
dry
diseases
and
complexions
,
it
must
be
sodden
with
greater
quantitie
of
water
,
then
when
it
is
to
be
vsed
in
cold
and
moist
diseases
,
and
the
disease
by
reason
of
the
moisture
and
coldnesse
of
the
water
,
shall
be
made
temperate
,
and
by
the
wonderfull
vertue
which
secretlie
lieth
hidden
in
the
woode
,
it
shall
be
perfectlie
cured
.
For
in
this
wood
is
contained
a
certaine
secrete
or
hidden
vertue
,
in
curing
diseases
not
alonelie
the
Pocks
,
but
in
maner
all
diseases
:
expelling
by
the
vrine
and
the
sweat
,
whatsoeuer
is
hurtfull
or
contrarie
to
nature
,
therefore
you
must
dilligently
consider
the
nature
of
the
disease
,
whether
it
be
hote
or
cold
,
that
you
may
make
your
drinke
accordinglie
,
for
in
cold
diseases
,
you
must
vse
more
wood
and
lesse
water
than
in
hote
diseases
,
and
sometimes
you
must
vse
wine
,
and
somtimes
not
,
and
sometimes
the
drinke
must
be
made
of
the
woode
alone
,
and
sometimes
with
other
additions
,
as
you
shall
heare
more
at
large
héereafter
.
Nowe
I
will
teach
you
howe
to
séeth
or
prepare
your
drinke
,
after
a
better
and
more
perfect
order
,
then
of
manie
hath
hetherto
béene
vsed
,
which
is
after
this
manner
.
You
shall
take
of
the
woode
,
béeing
made
as
small
as
is
possible
,
and
put
it
into
a
stone
Pot
,
which
must
be
so
bigge
,
that
it
may
not
be
more
then
halfe
full
,
when
your
woode
with
the
other
receipts
appertinent
to
the
disease
,
are
put
into
it
,
your
receipts
therefore
beeing
put
into
the
Pot
,
you
shall
set
it
vppon
the
fire
to
seeth
in
a
Kettle
with
water
,
and
(
because
it
shall
not
in
séething
loose
anie
of
his
vertue
)
you
shall
therefore
stoppe
the
Pottes
mouth
so
close
,
that
no
ayre
doo
issue
out
,
for
if
it
get
vent
that
the
ayre
come
foorth
,
it
doth
lose
of
his
vertue
,
and
is
so
much
the
worse
.
Therefore
you
must
vse
great
dilligence
in
the
stopping
of
it
,
for
that
is
principallie
heerein
required
,
and
being
close
stopped
,
you
shall
sette
it
to
seeth
in
a
Kettle
of
water
,
binding
it
so
in
the
Kettle
that
it
fall
not
,
and
then
make
it
séeth
,
keeping
the
Kettle
continuallie
so
full
of
water
,
that
it
may
alwaies
be
higher
then
that
which
is
in
the
Pot.
In
this
order
you
shall
keepe
it
séething
at
the
least
tenne
howres
,
but
peraduenture
you
will
thinke
that
it
cannot
séeth
,
because
it
is
so
close
stopped
and
hath
no
vent
,
but
that
is
not
materiall
,
for
our
desire
is
,
that
it
should
boile
or
séeth
without
walloping
,
for
seething
in
this
manner
,
it
retaineth
all
his
vertue
,
whereby
it
shall
performe
his
operation
in
better
order
then
he
hath
doone
heretofore
,
béeing
simplie
set
vpon
the
fire
to
séeth
with
a
couer
of
wood
or
stone
.
Moreouer
,
it
may
bée
you
will
thinke
,
that
if
it
be
stopped
as
aforesaide
,
it
may
as
well
be
sette
vppon
the
fire
to
séeth
,
as
in
a
Kettle
of
water
,
but
heerein
you
should
be
deceiued
,
for
béeing
set
vppon
the
fire
to
seeth
in
that
order
,
it
will
rather
burst
in
peeces
then
seeth
,
and
therefore
the
best
way
is
to
sette
it
in
water
as
is
aforesaide
.
For
as
the
water
seetheth
in
the
the
Kittle
,
so
shall
that
also
seeth
which
is
in
the
Pot
,
although
you
do
not
perceiue
it
to
mooue
or
wallop
,
which
is
by
reason
of
the
close
stopping
,
and
that
it
can
gette
no
vent
,
yet
notwithstanding
it
dooth
seeth
although
it
doo
not
wallop
,
and
by
this
still
séething
;
doth
retaine
or
rather
increase
in
vertue
,
much
more
then
if
it
had
walloped
.
To
prooue
the
experience
heereof
,
you
may
take
a
Hen
or
some
other
peece
of
meate
,
and
put
it
into
a
Potte
,
and
as
much
liquor
as
you
meane
to
haue
broth
,
and
stoppe
the
said
Potte
,
setting
it
to
seeth
in
a
Kettle
of
water
,
as
aforesaide
,
letting
it
séeth
in
that
order
,
as
long
as
you
vse
ordinarily
to
seeth
your
meate
,
and
you
shall
find
it
will
be
as
tender
,
as
if
it
had
sodden
&
walloped
with
great
force
in
an
open
Pot.
This
is
excellent
for
all
sorts
of
men
in
all
kinds
of
diseases
,
to
haue
their
meate
dressed
in
this
kind
of
order
,
as
shall
be
shewed
more
at
large
,
when
wee
shall
come
to
describe
the
diet
of
the
Patient
.
Thus
we
haue
shewed
you
in
what
order
you
shall
seeth
this
drinke
,
hereafter
when
we
shall
say
,
you
shal
take
thus
much
,
or
so
much
of
the
woode
,
and
shall
seeth
it
as
is
aforesaid
:
you
shall
vnderstand
it
of
this
manner
of
séething
,
and
none
other
,
because
that
this
manner
is
of
all
other
the
best
,
howe
good
soeuer
they
he
.
The
quantitie
howe
much
of
each
thing
shall
be
taken
,
is
shewed
more
at
large
in
the
Chapters
following
,
where
the
drinke
shall
be
appointed
according
to
the
nature
of
the
disease
.
Thus
much
concerning
the
preparing
of
the
Drinke
.
Nowe
followeth
the
regiment
of
the
Patient
in
his
diet
.
Capit.
4.
What
regiment
the
Patient
is
to
obserue
.
FIrst
and
formost
you
must
take
diligent
heede
that
you
doo
not
pinche
your
Patient
with
much
hunger
,
but
let
him
haue
as
much
as
shall
be
sufficient
to
quench
hunger
with
,
for
hunger
doth
weaken
and
pull
down
a
man
more
then
anie
other
thing
,
drying
vppe
the
naturall
moisture
,
and
extinguishing
the
naturall
heate
,
whereby
the
life
of
man
is
shortened
.
For
when
a
man
hath
kept
a
verie
strait
diet
,
and
beene
greatlie
pinched
with
hunger
a
great
time
,
the
saide
time
beeing
expired
,
and
that
he
commeth
to
eate
his
fill
,
all
his
nourishment
turneth
to
a
certaine
waterish
humor
,
turning
to
the
Dropsie
&
such
like
foule
diseases
,
the
cause
hereof
is
,
that
his
nourishment
is
giuen
him
too
late
.
As
for
example
,
a
flower
which
hath
beene
long
parched
with
that
heate
of
the
Sunne
,
in
the
ende
commeth
a
raine
,
which
raine
serueth
the
flower
to
no
other
end
but
to
spoile
and
rot
it
the
sooner
,
the
reason
is
,
because
the
raine
came
too
late
.
Euen
so
is
it
with
a
man
hauing
béene
long
pined
with
hunger
,
therfore
you
shall
cause
him
to
abstaine
,
not
from
that
which
is
good
,
but
from
that
which
is
naught
,
according
as
hath
béen
taught
in
the
other
Chapters
before
.
The
best
and
wholesome
meate
that
you
can
giue
your
Patient
,
is
Mutton
,
Veale
,
and
Hennes
,
which
shal
be
boyled
in
a
Potte
stopped
close
,
and
sette
in
a
Kettle
of
water
to
seeth
,
as
is
shewed
before
,
and
hee
shall
not
eate
his
meate
fresh
,
that
is
to
say
without
salt
,
as
hath
heeretofore
beene
taught
by
certaine
Doctors
,
but
it
shall
be
seasoned
in
such
reasonable
sort
,
that
it
be
neither
too
fresh
nor
too
salt
,
but
that
it
may
haue
a
pleasant
taste
.
The
reason
why
we
allow
of
salt
is
shewed
,
as
we
haue
set
downe
in
another
Chapter
before
,
and
therefore
not
to
be
repeated
now
for
anoiding
of
tediousnes
.
The
quantitie
of
meat
and
drinke
to
be
vsed
by
the
Patient
,
cannot
well
be
described
,
for
that
mens
stomackes
are
not
all
alike
,
the
one
eating
more
,
and
the
other
lesse
,
therefore
you
shall
giue
the
Patient
so
much
as
shall
be
sufficient
for
him
to
suffise
hunger
,
taking
heede
that
hée
doe
not
gorge
or
glut
himselfe
,
but
that
he
doe
alwaies
leaue
off
with
an
appetite
,
and
concerning
his
drinke
,
that
shall
bee
such
as
is
appertinent
to
the
disease
,
whereof
he
may
drinke
as
much
as
him
listeth
,
beeing
alwaies
made
warme
ere
hée
drinke
it
,
but
if
he
chaunce
to
be
féeble
or
faint
,
you
shal
not
giue
him
of
his
drinke
alone
at
meales
,
but
you
shall
giue
him
some
wine
with
it
,
eyther
Renish
,
or
small
white
wine
,
mingling
the
same
with
his
drinke
,
halfe
one
,
halfe
another
,
but
as
for
Beere
(
howe
good
so
euer
it
be
)
hee
shall
not
drinke
anie
,
vntill
he
be
perfectlie
cured
,
because
it
is
hurtful
for
him
.
In
this
aforesaid
order
you
shall
diet
all
your
Patients
,
olde
and
young
,
to
wit
,
with
such
good
meate
dressed
in
this
order
,
vntill
they
find
themselues
reasonably
satis-fied
,
alwaies
leauing
with
a
little
appetite
,
that
the
Medicine
be
not
hindered
in
his
operation
with
ouer
much
meate
.
Concerning
the
obseruation
of
the
time
,
you
shall
beginne
with
the
Patient
in
the
morning
at
fiue
of
the
clock
,
giuing
him
then
his
Medicine
to
drinke
,
which
being
doone
,
you
shall
couer
him
so
warme
that
he
may
sweat
verie
well
,
he
shall
lie
still
and
sweat
at
the
least
two
houres
,
if
he
be
able
to
endure
so
long
)
and
you
shall
giue
him
warme
cleane
clothes
,
to
dry
of
the
sweat
from
his
bodie
,
and
you
shall
take
away
his
wet
shirt
,
giuing
him
a
dry
one
well
warmed
to
put
on
,
then
hee
shall
put
on
his
clothes
,
and
sitte
by
a
good
fire
,
and
make
him
readie
,
and
when
hee
is
ready
,
let
him
walke
vp
and
downe
the
Chamber
till
eyght
of
the
clocke
,
and
then
he
shall
goe
to
dinner
,
he
shall
first
suppe
of
the
broth
with
a
little
Breade
,
and
then
eate
of
the
flesh
as
much
as
shall
suffise
him
,
as
is
aforesaid
.
After
he
hath
thus
dined
,
he
shall
walke
vppe
and
downe
the
Chamber
recreating
himselfe
with
some
pastime
or
other
to
driue
awaie
Melancholie
,
till
about
foure
of
the
clocke
in
the
afternoone
,
and
then
he
shall
goe
to
supper
,
vsing
himselfe
as
at
dinner
,
after
which
hee
shall
fast
till
seauen
of
the
clocke
,
then
he
shall
goe
to
bedde
,
then
giue
him
of
his
drinke
as
much
as
in
the
morning
,
to
wit
,
at
each
time
eyght
ounces
,
whereupon
you
shall
cause
him
to
sweat
,
drying
the
sweat
from
him
as
you
did
in
the
morning
,
and
principallie
you
must
drie
his
head
well
,
and
his
shirt
which
hée
put
of
in
the
morning
you
shall
drie
it
verie
wel
,
and
let
him
put
it
on
againe
warme
,
and
then
you
shall
make
his
bedde
with
a
payre
of
cleane
warme
sheetes
,
and
so
let
him
goe
to
bedde
,
and
let
him
rest
quietlie
till
fiue
of
the
clocke
the
next
morning
.
And
then
you
shall
giue
him
his
drinke
,
vsing
him
in
all
things
as
is
aforesaid
.
In
this
manner
(
with
sweating
and
diet
)
you
shall
vse
all
those
which
may
keepe
their
Chamber
in
the
time
of
their
curing
:
but
as
for
those
that
must
goe
abroade
,
their
drinke
must
be
prepared
with
wine
,
as
shall
be
shewed
heereafter
,
and
as
for
their
sweating
and
their
diet
,
it
must
be
in
all
respects
as
the
other
,
which
béeing
performed
,
they
may
goe
about
their
busines
,
although
it
were
better
and
more
sure
for
them
to
tarrie
within
doores
,
and
that
cheefelie
in
foule
,
rainie
,
or
blustering
wether
,
for
although
the
wine
doo
resist
the
contagion
of
the
ayre
,
yet
it
cannot
resist
all
,
especiallie
,
when
the
wether
is
so
vntemperate
,
notwithstanding
,
I
haue
in
this
maner
aforesaid
cured
many
that
went
abroad
,
but
yet
I
counsaile
you
to
cause
your
Patient
to
tarrie
at
home
in
his
Chamber
by
the
fire
in
fouls
wether
.
The
best
time
to
take
in
hand
to
cure
the
Patient
,
is
the
Haruest
and
the
spring
time
,
and
next
to
that
is
the
winter
,
but
the
Sommer
is
not
good
,
principallie
for
hote
Chollericke
persons
,
for
in
it selfe
it
is
contrarie
vnto
them
by
reason
of
the
great
heate
and
drith
,
which
it
increaseth
so
much
the
more
in
them
:
but
to
colde
,
moiste
,
and
flegmaticke
bodies
,
the
Sommer
is
not
so
hurtfull
as
to
the
chollerick
,
and
therefore
in
time
of
neede
,
such
Patients
may
be
cured
in
the
Sommer
.
Thus
much
concerning
sweating
,
with
the
time
,
and
the
ordering
of
the
diet
,
nowe
followeth
the
order
of
curing
,
and
first
of
the
great
intollerable
paine
in
the
heade
,
which
happeneth
often
in
this
disease
,
suffering
the
Patient
not
to
take
any
rest
.
Capit.
5.
Of
the
great
paine
in
the
head
,
which
taketh
away
the
sleepe
.
THis
intollerable
paine
is
called
Cephalea
,
or
Hemicrauea
,
and
is
so
great
and
so
vehement
aboue
the
eyes
,
that
oftentimes
the
Patient
is
like
to
runne
madde
therewith
,
&
although
many
meanes
be
vsed
,
yet
the
paine
decreaseth
not
.
To
cure
this
and
such
like
paines
in
the
heade
,
you
must
first
consider
the
complexion
of
the
Patient
,
whether
be
be
chollerick
,
phlegmatick
,
melancholick
,
or
sanguine
,
which
you
shall
know
in
this
sort
.
If
the
Patient
be
chollericke
,
his
vrine
is
verie
yellowe
coloured
,
and
the
paine
is
sharper
vpon
the
right
side
of
the
head
then
in
other
places
,
he
is
leane
of
bodie
and
his
mouth
is
commonlie
bitter
.
If
he
be
sanguine
,
he
is
somewhat
fatter
of
bodie
,
but
not
much
,
and
hath
a
sweete
mouth
,
his
vrine
is
also
verie
much
coloured
,
and
thicke
.
The
phlegmaticke
is
commonlie
fat
,
and
grosse
of
bodie
,
and
slow
,
his
water
is
white
and
thicke
.
The
mellancholicke
are
leane
and
withered
,
or
dry
,
and
beauie
spirited
,
enuious
,
and
angrie
,
wishing
well
to
no
man
,
his
vrine
is
bleake
and
thin
,
in
maner
like
water
,
and
he
is
alwaies
sad
.
Hauing
taught
you
to
knowe
the
complexion
of
the
Patient
,
we
will
teach
you
the
preparing
of
each
of
their
Medicines
seuerallie
.
And
first
of
the
Chollericke
and
the
Sanguine
,
because
in
this
they
doo
agree
,
to
wit
,
in
heat
,
although
the
Chollericke
man
be
much
dryer
then
the
Sanguine
,
yet
because
they
are
both
hote
,
we
will
conclude
them
bothe
vnder
one
cure
,
which
shall
be
in
this
order
.
First
you
shall
take
Diacarthami
,
and
Diaphenicon
,
of
each
three
drammes
,
this
you
shall
breake
and
mingle
together
with
Fewmetorie
water
,
that
it
may
be
a
drink
,
which
you
shall
giue
the
Patient
to
drinke
at
foure
of
the
clocke
in
the
morning
warme
,
and
suffer
him
not
to
sleepe
,
to
eate
,
nor
to
drinke
,
till
such
time
as
it
haue
doone
working
,
for
the
shall
expell
part
of
the
matter
(
whereof
the
disease
groweth
)
by
siege
,
the
same
day
you
shal
cherish
him
wel
with
good
meates
,
such
as
are
before
shewed
for
his
diet
,
béeing
dressed
after
the
aforesaid
order
.
The
next
day
you
shal
giue
him
of
this
drink
following
,
eyght
ounces
,
the
drinke
is
this
.
You
shall
take
of
the
best
wood
that
you
can
gette
(
being
broken
as
smal
as
is
possible
)
halfe
a
pound
,
of
cléere
spring
water
eight
pound
,
this
you
must
seeth
as
is
taught
in
the
thirde
Chapter
,
and
giue
the
Patient
thereof
to
drinke
morning
and
euening
,
at
each
time
eyght
ounces
,
causing
him
to
sweate
in
such
order
as
before
is
shewed
.
But
if
so
be
that
the
Patient
cannot
keepe
within
doores
but
must
goe
abroade
about
his
busines
,
you
shall
then
make
his
drinke
of
halfe
wine
,
halfe
water
,
taking
foure
poundes
of
vach
,
but
in
séething
your
drinke
with
wine
,
yee
must
see
that
the
Pot
be
very
closelie
stopped
,
because
the
wine
is
of
such
a
subtile
and
piercing
nature
,
so
that
if
it
once
get
anie
vent
,
the
vertue
of
it
flieth
away
.
Your
drinke
béeing
thus
prepared
with
Wine
,
may
well
be
ministred
to
such
Patients
as
cannot
keepe
at
home
but
must
goe
abroade
,
but
yet
in
verie
foule
wether
they
must
tarrie
at
home
,
and
in
faire
wether
they
may
goe
abroade
about
their
busines
,
after
such
time
as
they
haue
sweat
and
taken
their
diet
as
aforesaide
.
In
this
sort
are
all
such
Patients
to
be
vsed
(
for
the
paine
in
the
head
)
as
are
hote
of
complexion
,
the
space
of
eight
daies
,
vntill
the
ninth
day
earlie
in
the
morning
,
at
which
time
you
shall
giue
him
the
aforesaide
Purgation
,
kéeping
him
from
sleepe
,
from
meate
,
and
drink
,
till
the
Purgation
haue
doone
working
,
and
that
the
Patient
feele
no
more
paine
or
gréefe
in
his
bellie
,
and
then
you
shall
giue
him
his
diet
,
the
same
day
neither
in
the
morning
nor
the
euening
shall
hee
drinke
any
drinke
,
but
onelie
the
Purgation
,
except
at
his
meales
you
may
giue
him
of
his
drinke
,
mingling
the
same
wyth
wine
,
halfe
one
,
halfe
another
.
In
the
morning
he
shall
againe
drinke
of
his
drinke
,
and
doe
in
all
respects
as
I
haue
taught
you
before
,
vntill
eyght
dayes
more
be
expired
,
and
vpon
the
ninth
day
you
shal
purge
him
againe
,
and
then
he
shall
drinke
againe
as
is
aforesaid
,
in
this
order
he
shal
continue
vntill
he
be
whole
,
and
that
the
paine
haue
cleane
forsaken
him
.
This
aforesaid
drinke
dooth
excellentlie
helpe
hote
and
dry
complexions
by
cooling
them
,
and
is
contrarie
to
such
diseases
as
are
of
nature
colde
&
drye
,
expelling
them
.
The
curing
of
the
paines
in
the
head
of
those
that
are
Phlegmatick
,
and
Mellancholick
.
THe
drinke
for
the
Phlegmatick
or
Mellancholick
persons
,
must
in
operation
be
warmer
and
dryer
then
that
aforesaid
,
and
must
therfore
be
made
in
this
maner
.
Take
of
the
wood
three
quarters
of
a
pounde
,
béeing
broken
as
small
as
is
possible
,
with
sixe
pound
of
water
,
and
as
much
Wine
,
and
put
it
in
a
stone
Pot
,
and
béeing
verie
close
stopped
,
sette
it
to
seeth
tenne
howres
in
a
Kettle
of
water
as
is
aforesaid
,
whereof
the
Patient
shall
drink
morning
and
euening
eyght
ounces
at
a
time
,
and
at
the
ende
of
eyght
daies
,
you
shall
purge
him
with
the
aforesaid
Purgation
,
vsing
him
in
all
points
as
is
aforesaid
,
with
sweating
,
and
otherwise
,
and
he
shall
vndoubtedly
be
cured
.
But
you
must
haue
great
regard
in
sweating
,
that
you
dry
his
heade
well
,
for
that
shall
much
further
his
health
.
And
heere
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
the
paine
doth
commonlie
increase
til
it
be
at
the
strongest
,
and
then
it
euery
day
decreaseth
till
at
the
last
he
feele
it
no
more
,
therefore
you
shall
not
be
dismaid
though
the
paine
increase
in
the
cure
,
for
that
commeth
to
passe
by
the
strength
of
the
drink
,
and
it
is
a
very
good
signe
,
therefore
let
not
the
Patient
be
discomfited
,
but
let
him
reioyce
,
because
it
is
a
certaine
signe
of
health
.

Of
madnesse
or
idlenesse
of
the
head
,
called
Insania
.
THis
idlenes
or
madnesse
in
the
head
,
called
in
Latine
Insania
,
proceedeth
of
a
certaine
venimous
humour
or
dampe
,
ascending
from
the
stomacke
and
the
Liuer
into
the
braines
,
and
because
the
braines
through
the
infection
of
the
Pockes
,
or
some
such
like
cause
is
become
weake
and
tender
,
they
are
not
able
to
repell
or
driue
backe
the
sayde
dampe
or
humour
,
but
remaine
vanquished
and
ouercome
of
the
same
in
such
sort
,
that
they
forget
to
doo
their
office
,
going
quite
out
of
order
,
so
that
the
Patient
hath
no
rule
of
him selfe
,
but
dooth
and
speaketh
he
knoweth
not
what
.
To
cure
this
disease
,
as
well
that
which
proceedeth
of
the
Pockes
as
otherwise
,
(
excepting
onelie
when
it
commeth
of
or
with
a
hote
sharpe
Ague
,
because
therein
is
great
danger
of
death
)
you
may
doo
it
with
the
drinke
made
of
thys
Wood
,
without
any
impediment
:
which
must
be
prepared
after
this
manner
,
for
such
as
are
hote
of
complexion
,
as
the
Chollericke
and
Sanguine
are
.
Take
of
this
Wood
,
beeing
made
very
small
,
one
pounde
,
fayre
water
eyght
poundes
,
which
you
must
seeth
as
is
aforesaide
,
and
giue
him
thereof
euery
morning
and
euening
eyght
ounces
,
at
a
time
&
cause
him
to
sweat
well
,
and
you
must
dry
the
sweat
from
his
head
verie
well
,
because
the
disense
lyeth
altogether
in
the
heade
.
His
diet
and
his
drinke
shall
be
as
is
mencioned
in
the
former
Chapter
,
notwithstanding
as
litle
as
may
be
,
for
in
this
disease
much
meate
is
very
hurtfull
,
and
therfore
he
must
be
content
with
a
little
,
hee
must
drinke
no
Wine
,
for
that
it
is
contrarie
both
to
his
disease
and
complexion
,
because
it
ascendeth
vp
into
the
head
,
he
must
drinke
of
his
drinke
alone
as
much
as
he
will
,
&
it
must
alwaies
be
a
little
warme
.
Thus
dooing
,
he
shall
without
doubt
be
cured
by
Gods
helpe
.
The
Phlegmatick
and
the
Mellancholicke
must
be
thus
cured
.
TAke
of
this
Wood
one
pound
,
of
Water
foure
pound
,
of
Wine
two
pounde
,
this
you
must
seeth
as
is
aforesaide
,
and
giue
him
thereof
euery
day
to
drinke
morning
and
euening
eyght
ounces
at
a
time
,
continuing
the
same
vntill
hee
be
cured
.
And
although
in
the
beginning
the
Wine
doe
him
no
good
,
yet
you
shall
not
leaue
to
vse
the
same
still
in
hys
drinke
,
for
that
it
is
a
notable
Medicine
for
his
complexion
,
béeing
measurablie
vsed
,
and
therefore
you
shall
seeth
him
his
drinke
as
aforesaid
,
and
it
shall
in
the
end
perfectly
help
him
.
You
may
giue
these
Patients
lesse
meate
then
the
Cholericke
or
Sanguine
,
yet
you
shal
not
famish
them
,
and
that
principallie
the
Mellancholicke
,
and
hee
shall
also
not
sweat
so
long
as
those
that
are
moist
of
complexion
,
because
hee
is
drie
,
yet
he
must
sweat
at
the
least
an
howre
and
a
halfe
,
because
the
Phlegmaticke
to
sweat
much
more
if
he
be
able
to
endure
it
,
because
that
of
his
owne
complexion
hee
is
verie
moyst
,
and
yet
much
more
moist
by
reason
of
his
disease
.
Therefore
it
is
verie
good
for
him
to
sweats
,
because
it
dryeth
vp
all
such
ouerplus
moistnes
,
and
in
the
ende
restoreth
him
to
his
health
and
his
vnderstanding
,
and
driueth
awais
all
nodes
or
tumors
vpon
his
heade
,
if
he
haue
any
,
and
all
open
sores
in
any
place
of
the
bodie
,
shall
by
vertue
of
thys
drink
be
healed
within
the
fortie
daies
,
and
therefore
let
him
not
refuse
to
vse
it
.
Héere
is
to
be
obserued
,
that
such
Patients
as
are
idle
headed
,
shall
not
in
any
wise
goe
abroade
,
till
such
time
as
they
are
perfectlie
cured
,
but
shall
remaine
at
home
in
their
Chamber
,
keeping
them
as
quiet
as
is
possible
,
for
rest
is
very
good
and
profitable
for
them
.
If
you
obserue
this
order
before
shewed
,
the
Patient
shall
vndoubtedlie
be
cured
if
God
will
.
Capit.
7.
Of
the
Falling-sicknesse
,
called
in
Latine
Epileptia
.
THis
disease
springeth
of
ouermuch
moysture
in
the
braine
,
wherethrough
at
certain
times
the
braines
béeing
troubled
,
there
chaunceth
vnto
them
a
certaine
obstruction
;
by
meanes
whereof
,
the
Patient
is
bereft
of
the
strength
of
his
sinnewes
,
and
so
falleth
to
the
ground
.
And
according
to
the
scituation
of
the
place
which
the
disease
occupieth
,
so
the
accidents
doo
manifest
themselues
,
as
sometimes
wyth
contraction
,
that
is
,
in
plucking
of
the
ioynts
,
and
somtimes
in
foming
at
the
mouth
,
with
barking
and
other
such
vnséemlie
gestures
.
But
peraduenture
it
will
cause
some
to
meruaile
greatly
that
I
should
teach
the
curing
of
such
a
hard
disease
,
with
a
Drinke
made
of
this
Lignum
Guaiacum
,
yet
notwithstanding
,
because
I
haue
learned
the
same
by
experience
,
&
haue
therewith
cured
moe
then
tenne
Patients
,
I
will
therefore
publish
the
same
for
the
commoditie
of
all
,
that
such
as
are
therwith
troubled
,
may
haue
recourse
hereto
in
time
of
néed
and
find
remedie
for
the
same
,
which
by
the
helpe
of
GOD
they
shall
vndoubtedlie
obtaine
,
(
though
they
had
had
the
saide
disease
tenne
yeeres
together
)
following
the
order
héere
sette
downe
,
which
is
this
.
You
shall
vse
nothing
but
onelie
this
drinke
following
,
purging
the
Patient
in
such
order
as
I
shall
teache
you
.
First
for
the
Chollericke
and
Sanguine
complexion
,
you
shall
take
of
the
said
Wood
halfe
a
pound
,
fayre
water
eyght
poundes
,
this
you
must
seeth
in
such
order
as
is
shewed
in
the
thirde
Chapter
before
:
and
you
shall
giue
the
Patient
thereof
euery
morning
and
euening
eyght
ounces
at
a
time
,
and
shal
cause
him
to
sweat
verie
wel
,
for
it
is
excellent
good
for
him
,
&
hauing
drunke
therof
eyght
dayes
,
you
shall
purge
him
with
this
Purgation
:
Take
of
Hiera
picra
galeni
,
halfe
an
ounce
,
Diacarthami
three
drams
,
and
beate
amongst
it
of
Epirimi
,
and
Agarici
trocistati
of
each
two
drammes
,
this
you
must
mingle
with
Betoni
water
,
and
Cuscuta
Water
,
putting
thereto
so
much
water
,
that
it
may
be
a
Potion
,
this
the
Patient
must
drink
at
foure
of
the
clocke
in
the
morning
,
he
must
neither
sleepe
,
eate
,
nor
drinke
,
vntill
the
Medicine
haue
doone
working
,
and
that
he
feele
no
more
pain
or
rumbling
in
his
bellie
.
Then
you
shall
giue
him
his
diet
,
and
the
same
day
he
shall
not
drinke
,
but
at
his
meales
according
as
he
is
wont
to
doo
,
the
next
morning
he
shall
beginne
againe
with
his
drinke
,
dooing
in
all
respects
as
hee
did
the
eyght
daies
before
,
with
sweating
and
otherwise
.
This
order
you
shall
in
all
points
obserue
,
vntill
fortie
dayes
be
expired
,
purging
the
Patient
euery
eyght
or
ninth
day
once
.
But
this
is
alwaies
to
be
noted
,
as
well
in
thys
Chapter
as
in
all
the
other
,
that
when
you
begin
your
cure
,
the
first
day
the
Patient
must
be
purged
,
with
the
Purgation
mencioned
in
the
said
Chapter
,
and
then
to
procéed
in
such
sort
as
is
there
specified
,
continuing
the
cure
as
I
said
before
,
the
space
of
fortie
dayes
.
For
though
in
this
maner
aforesaid
I
once
cured
a
Woman
of
this
greeuous
disease
,
within
fiue
and
twentie
daies
,
yet
I
would
wish
the
cure
to
be
continued
fortie
daies
,
that
you
may
be
the
more
assured
that
it
should
not
returne
againe
.
In
this
foresaide
order
you
may
cure
all
kindes
of
lamenes
in
hote
and
dry
complexions
,
and
also
all
lamenesse
proceeding
of
the
Palsie
,
though
it
procéeded
not
of
the
Pockes
,
but
of
the
influence
of
the
starres
,
or
the
constellation
of
Saturne
and
the
Moone
in
his
birth
,
as
Astronomie
teacheth
.
These
and
all
other
lamenesse
whatsoeuer
,
may
in
Chollericke
persons
be
cured
in
the
aforesaid
manner
,
without
all
imperfection
,
of
howe
long
continuaunce
soeuer
they
haue
beene
.
In
his
diet
he
must
behaue
himselfe
mesurablie
,
least
any
Ague
or
other
accident
doo
happen
vnto
him
,
for
them
his
health
would
be
farre
to
seeke
,
for
which
cause
,
sobrietie
in
his
diet
is
very
requisit
.
This
is
sufficient
concerning
Cholerick
and
Sanguine
complexions
.
The
curing
of
the
falling
sickenesse
in
Phlegmaticke
and
Mellancholie
persons
.
FOr
these
,
the
Drinke
must
be
made
more
warming
and
drying
then
in
other
complexions
,
the
making
of
it
is
thus
.
Take
one
pound
of
this
Woode
,
with
fiue
pounds
of

these
cannot
any

way

but
with

Drinke
made

the
order
of

is
thus
.
You

De

and
if

in

.
To

THese
must

,
whereof
you
shal
giue
the
Patient
foure
scruples
,
making
therof
nine
Pilles
,
which
he
shall
take

,
the

Take

haue

Of
Podagra
or

THis
disease
is
of
a
wonderfull
strange
nature
as
experience
teacheth
vs
,
comming
to
man
first
by
the
influence
of
the
stars
in
his
birth
,
that
is
when
the
Moone
is
infortuned
wyth
Mars
and
Saturne
,
which
causeth
the
person
then
borne
,
to
be
more
inclined
to
the
said
disease
than
others
are
,
and
then
withall
,
leading
his
life
disorderly
in
lecherie
,
surfeiting
,
and
drunkennesse
,
is

and
by
attached
with
this
said
disease
.
The
opinion
of
many
men
is
,
that
this
disease
cannot
be
cured
,
but
that
is
not
so
,
for
there
are
very
manie
that
are
cured
of
it
,
which
by
their
disordered
liuing
doo
fall
into
it
againe
,
which
if
they
would
leade
their
liues
well
and
in
good
order
,
they
should
remaine
whole
being
once
cured
,
especiallie
those
that
are
healed
in
this
sort
:
notwithstanding
,
I
graunt
it
will
verie
hardlie
be
cured
,
if
it
runne
so
farre
that
it
haue
hardened
the
knockles
of
the
hands
,
and
the
ioynts
of
the
foote
,
for
then
the
matter
is
become
so
dry
,
that
it
is
almost
impossible
to
resolue
it
,
but
if
it
be
taken
in
any
resonable
time
,
it
may
in
this
sort
be
cured
.
First
you
must
purge
the
Patient
with
Pillule
de
hermo
dactilis
,
whereof
you
shall
take
one
dramme
,
making
thereof
seauen
Pilles
,
which
you
shall
giue
the
Patient
at
midnight
,
letting
him
sleepe
thereon
three
howres
,
and
then
you
shall
awake
him
if
he
awake
not
of
himselfe
,
keeping
him
awake
that
the
Purgation
may
the
better
worke
vppon
him
,
not
suffering
him
to
sleepe
vntill
it
haue
doone
working
,
and
then
he
shall
eate
his
meate
,
the
next
day
you
shall
giue
him
the
drinke
mencioned
in
the
former
Chapter
for
the
Chollericke
,
but
in
the
séething
of
it
,
you
shall
put
into
it
a
handfull
of
Cipres
,
which
is
an
Hearbe
so
called
,
purging
him
euerie
ninth
day
once
with
the
aforesaid
Pilles
,
dooing
in
all
respects
as
is
mentioned
in
the
Chapter
going
before
:
but
you
shall
cause
him
to
sweat
verie
much
,
for
that
is
verie
good
and
also
to
dry
the
sweat
very
well
from
him
with
warme
clothes
,
that
it
goe
not
in
againe
,
for
if
it
goe
in
againe
,
it
were
as
good
for
him
not
to
sweat
at
all
.
Thus
much
for
the
Chollericke
and
the
Sanguine
.
For
the
Phlegmaticke
and
the
Mellancholick
.
YOu
shall
also
purge
him
with
the
aforesaide
Pilles
,
and
then
you
shall
giue
him
of
the
drinke
mentioned
in
the
former
Chapter
,
for
the
Phlegmaticke
and
the
Mellancholicke
,
remembring
in
the
seething
,
to
put
in
a
handfull

Cypres
,
purging
him
euerie
ninth
day
with
the
aforesaide
Pilles
,
which
you
shall
continue
vntill
he
be
healed
.
This
suffiseth
for
the
Goute
,
shewing
the
order
howe
it
is
to
be
cured
.
We
haue
also
entreated
sufficiently
of
all
accidents
which
chaunce
by
meanes
of
the
Pocks
,
with
diuers
other
diseases
,
springing
not
of
the
Pockes
but
of
other
causes
,
howe
all
such
diseases
are
to
be
cured
by
meanes
of
this
excellent
wood
,
is
before
sufficientlie
made
manifest
.
I
haue
also
in
the
first
part
of
this
Booke
(
for
their
sakes
that
haue
any
vnderstanding
)
opened
many
noble
secrets
of
Mercurie
,
but
because
the
most
part
are
not
enstructed
in
the
Arte
of
preparing
the
Mercurie
,
I
haue
for
theyr
sakes
written
this
seconde
part
,
for
the
helpe
of
the
Patient
,
because
I
woulde
not
haue
them
remaine
vncured
,
wishing
the
health
of
all
men
.
Yet
notwithstanding
,
Mercurie
beeing
rightly
prepared
,
dooth
seeme
to
worke
miracles
,
so
short
and
so
excellent
hee
is
in
his
operation
,
whereof
heereafter
(
God
wylling
)
wee
will
wryte
more
.
Thus
I
conclude
this
treatise
,
desiring
God
to
spare
me
vntill
I
haue
performed
my
purposed
intent
,
in
writing
to
his
glory
and
to
the
profit
of
my
neighbour
.
Thus
louing
Reader
I
commit
thee
to
GOD
almightie
,
to
whom
bée
all
prayse
,
honour
and
glorie
,
both
nowe
and
for
euermore
,
Amen
.
