THe
Plague
(
if
you
will
have
his
true
Characterisme
and
essentiall
forme
)
is
Ictus

of

the
sinnes

This
is

the

of

by
the
light
of
nature
.
Therefore
his
appropriate
and
speciall
Antidote
is
Seria
paenitentia
,
&
conversio
ad
Deum
:
unfained
and
heartie
repentance
and
conversion
to
God
.
Till
this
be
practised
,
I
tell
you
plainely
,
I
put
small
confidence
in
other
by-courses
.
The
cause
remaining
,
who
can
looke
for
the
taking
away
of
the
effect
?
Let
me
therefore
be
an
humble
suitor
,
that
your
Highnesse
would
be
pleased
to
command
a
generall
humiliation
of
the
people
by
prayer
and
fasting
.
This
action
as
it
would
be
honourable
to
your
Majestie
,
and
such
as
you
would
undoubtedly
condiscend
unto
most
readily
and
willingly
,
if
it
were
but
mentioned
and
moved
;
so
in
my
perswasion
,
there
would
appeare
a
most
admirable
and
comfortable
effect
thereof
.
And
till
this
be
performed
,
what
other
wayes
soever
wee
shall
follow
,
wee
shall
begin
at
the
wrong
end
:
Ni
Deus
affuerit
,
viresque
infuderit
Herbis
,
Quid
cedò
Diptamús
,
quid
Panacea
juvat
?
Let
not
Gentlemen
and
rich
Citizens
by
flying
(
unlesse
they
likewise
flie
from
their
sinnes
)
thinke
to
escape
Scotfree
.
So
long
as
they
carry
their
sinne
with
them
,
the
Lord
will
find
them
out
,
and
his
hand
will
reach
them
wheresoever
they
are
.
There
should
(
in
my
opinion
)
be
provided
a
place
of
Sepulture
for
the
bodies
especially
of
such
as
die
by
the
Sicknes
,
some
good
distance
from
the
Citie
and
Suburbs
.
The
burying
of
infected
bodies
in
Churches
,
Church-yards
,
and
namely
in
Paules
Church-yard
,
where
the
chiefe
Magistrates
of
the
Citie
,
and
many
other
Citizens
meete
weekly
to
heare
Sermons
,
must
needs
be
not
onely
inconvenient
,
but
very
dangerous
for
spreading
the
contagion
,
and
poisoning
the
whole
Citie
.
For
all
men
that
have
the
least
insight
in
Philosophy
know
that
from
the
dead
corps
,
by
force
of
the
Sunne
,
certaine
vapours
or
exhalations
are
elevated
,
which
partake
of
the
nature
of
those
bodies
,
and
doe
undoubtedly
taint
,
corrupt
,
and
poyson
the
aire
with
their
ill
qualitie
.
For
this
principall
cause
,
in
most
well
ordered
Cities
of
forrein
Countries
,
there
is
a
common
place
of
Buriall
appointed
a
good
distance
from
the
building
of
the
Citie
.
And
till
this
may
be
procured
for
our
Citie
,
I
wish
that
straight
charge
be
given
,
that
all
dead
corpses
be
layd
a
convenient
depth
in
the
ground
,
and
not
one
coffin
heaped
upon
another
,
and
they
layd
so
neare
the
top
of
the
earth
as
(
it
is
to
be
feared
)
they
now
are
.
It
were
necessarie
the
place
of
Buriall
should
be
on
the
South
side
of
the
Citie
,
that
the
Sunne
may
draw
the
vapours
from
it
.
Let
care
be
had
,
that
the
streets
,
especially
the
narrow
lanes
and
allies
,
be
kept
from
annoyance
of
dung-hilles
,
vaults
or
houses
of
office
,
the
common
sewers
and
chanels
be
well
purged
and
scowred
,
the
dung-farmers
tyed
to
their
stint
of
time
in
Winter
,
and
not
suffered
(
unlesse
urgent
necessitie
require
)
to
perfume
the
streets
all
Summer
long
,
especially
in
this
time
of
contagion
.
Let
not
the
carkasses
of
horses
,
dogs
,
cats
,
&c.
lye
rotting
and
poysoning
the
ayre
(
as
they
have
done
)
in
More
and
Finsburie
fields
,
and
elsewhere
round
about
the
Citie
.
Let
the
Pipes
layd
from
the
new
River
be
often
opened
,
to
clense
the
channels
of
every
streete
in
the
Citie
.
Let
the
Ditches
towards
the
suburbs
,
especially
towards
Islington
and
Pick-hatch
,
Old-streete
,
and
towards
Shoreditch
and
White-chappell
,
be
well
clensed
,
and
if
it
might
be
,
the
water
of
the
new
River
to
runne
through
them
,
as
also
the
like
to
be
done
through
the
Burrough
of
South-worke
.
Let
the
ayre
be
purged
and
corrected
,
especially
in
evenings
which
are
somewhat
cold
,
and
in
places
low
and
neare
the
River
(
as
Thames
street
and
the
Allyes
there
about
)
by
making
fires
of
Oken
or
Ashwood
,
with
some
few
bundles
of
Iuniper
cast
into
them
.
Let
men
in
their
private
houses
,
amend
the
aire
by
laying
in
their
windowes
sweet
herbes
,
as
Marjoram
,
Time
,
Let
them
likewise
rub
their
windowes
often
with
worm
wood
and
fennell
.
Rosemarie
,
Balme
,
Fennell
,
Peniroyall
,
Mints
,
&c.
Likewise
by
burning
Iuniper
,
Rosemarie
,
Time
,
Bay-leaves
,
Cloves
,
Cinamon
,
or
using
other
compound
perfumes
.
The
poorer
sort
may
burne
Worme-wood
,
Rue
,
Time
.
Let
them
cast
often
on
the
floores
of
their
houses
water
mingled
with
Vineger
.
Concourse
of
people
to
Stage-playes
,
Wakes
or
Feasts
,
and
May-pole
dauncings
,
are
to
be
prohibited
by
publique
Authoritie
,
whereby
as
God
is
dishonored
,
the
bodies
of
men
and
women
by
surfetting
,
drunkennes
,
and
other
riots
and
excesses
,
disposed
to
infection
,
and
the
contagion
dangerously
scattered
both
in
Citie
and
Countrie
.
Let
the
Bells
in
Cities
and
Townes
be
rung
often
,
and
the
great
Ordnance
discharged
,
thereby
the
aire
is
purified
.
Touching
our
regiment
and
diet
,
repletion
and
inanition
(
as
two
dangerous
extremities
)
are
heedfully
to
be
avoyded
.
Those
meats
are
to
be
used
which
are
of
easie
digestion
and
apt
to
breed
good
juice
.
The
blankets
,
matresses
,
flockbeds
,
and
all
bed-clothes
of
the
infected
,
are
to
be
burned
,
also
leather
garments
,
because
they
hold
the
infection
very
long
.
Alexander
Benedictus
reports
,
Hist.
de
Pest
.
That
in
Venice
,
a
flock-bed
used
in
a
contagious
time
,
was
after
7
yeares
found
in
an
inward
roome
,
the
Mistris
of
the
house
commanded
the
servants
to
ayre
and
beat
it
,
whereupon
the
servants
were
instantly
infected
with
the
pestilence
and
died
.
Such
as
are
of
hard
concoction
,
and
cause
obstructions
,
are
to
be
avoyded
:
specially
those
that
easily
corrupt
and
putrifie
in
the
stomacke
,
as
the
most
part
of
summer
fruit
,
raw
cherries
,
plums
,
apples
,
&c.
It
is
not
good
to
be
abroad
in
the
ayre
,
early
in
the
morning
before
the
Sunne
have
purified
the
ayre
,
or
late
in
the
night
after
Sunne-setting
.
In
rainie
,
darke
,
and
cloudie
weather
,
keepe
your
house
as
much
as
you
can
.
Eschue
all
perturbations
of
minde
,
especially
anger
and
feare
.
The
one
by
heating
the
body
opens
a
doore
for
the
enemie
to
enter
:
the
other
by
cowardly
running
away
gives
him
encouragement
to
tread
on
the
hedge
,
which
lyeth
lowest
,
and
maketh
least
resistance
.
Let
your
exercise
be
moderate
,
ad
ruborem
,
non
ad
sudorem
.
The
time
of
exercise
is
an
houre
before
dinner
or
supper
,
not
in
the
heat
of
the
day
,
or
when
the
stomacke
is
full
.
Vse
seldome
familiaritie
with
Venus
,
for
shee
enfeebleth
the
body
,
and
maketh
it
more
obnoxious
to
externall
injuries
.
You
may
feede
three
times
in
the
day
,
Varietie
of
meats
is
pernicious
;
much
more
varietie
of
sau●●●
.
but
more
sparingly
than
at
other
times
.
Shunne
varietie
of
dishes
at
one
meale
:
Perniciosa
ciborum
varietas
,
perniciosior
condimentorum
.
And
if
at
any
time
the
Rule
holdeth
,
The
most
simple
feeding
is
the
most
wholsome
feeding
;
then
it
is
in
force
at
this
time
of
infection
.
Augenius
(
a
learned
Physitian
)
thinketh
it
not
possible
that
hee
that
liveth
temperately
and
soberly
,
should
be
subject
to
the
Sicknesse
.
Goe
not
forth
of
your
house
into
the
ayre
,
neither
willingly
speake
with
any
,
till
you
have
broken
your
Fast
.
For
breakfast
you
may
use
a
good
draught
of
wormwood
beere
or
ale
,
and
a
few
morsels
of
I
read
and
butter
wi●h
the
leaves
of
sage
,
or
else
a
toste
with
swee●
salade
oyle
,
two
or
three
drops
of
rose
vinegar
,
and
a
little
s●gar
.
They
that
have
cold
stomackes
may
drinke
a
draugh●
of
wormewoodwine
or
malm-sey
,
in
stead
of
al●
or
beere
.
But
take
heed
(
as
you
loue
your
life
)
of
extreame
hot
waters
,
as
Aqua
vitae
,
Rosa
solis
,
or
other
compound
waters
of
like
nature
,
which
Emperickes
prepare
and
set
out
with
vaine
and
boasting
words
:
Laudat
venales
qui
vult
extrudere
merces
.
Of
them
Crato
a
great
and
learned
Physitian
pronounceth
,
that
they
were
inventa
ad
jugulandos
,
non
ad
curandos
homines
:
devised
to
kill
not
to
cure
men
.
Hee
speaketh
of
the
daily
and
continuall
use
of
them
:
and
that
is
it
which
I
disallow
.
If
you
be
not
accustomed
to
a
breakfast
,
take
the
quantitie
of
a
Nutmeg
or
thereabouts
of
some
cordiall
Electuarie
prescribed
by
the
learned
Physitian
,
before
you
set
foot
out
of
doores
.
If
you
will
use
both
,
for
greater
cautell
,
then
take
your
Electuarie
early
in
the
morning
,
two
houres
before
your
breakfast
.
As
you
walke
in
the
streets
or
talke
with
any
;
hold
in
your
moath
a
Clove
,
a
peece
of
a
Zodoarie
,
Angelica
,
or
Enula
campana
roote
.
Once
in
foure
of
five
dayes
take
three
or
foure
cordiall
and
stomachicall
pilles
by
direction
of
your
Physitian
,
to
fortifie
the
heart
and
stomacke
against
all
corruption
,
and
to
cleanse
your
body
from
such
humours
as
may
dispose
you
to
the
sicknesse
.
For
Agens
non
agit
nisi
in
Pattente

:
An
Agent
worketh

If
any
man
be
bound
by
Religion
,
consanguinitie
,
office
,
or
any
such
respect
to
visite
the
sicke
parties
;
let
him
first
provide
,
that
the
chamber
bee
well
perfumed
with
odoriferous
trochiskes
,
or
such
like
,
the
windowes
layd
with
the
herbes
afore-named
,
the
floore
cleane
swept
,
and
sprinkled
with
rose-water
and
vineger
:
that
there
be
a
fire
of
sweet
wood
burning
in
the
chimney
,
the
windowes
being
shut
for
an
houre
,
then
open
the
casements
towardes
the
North.
Then
let
him
wash
his
face
and
hands
with
rose-water
and
rose-vineger
,
and
enter
into
the
chamber
with
a
waxe
candle
in
the
one
hand
,
and
a
sponge
with
rose-vineger
and
wormewood
,
or
some
other
Pomander
,
to
smell
unto
.
Let
him
hold
in
his
mouth
a
peece
of
Mastic
,
Cinamon
,
Zedoarie
,
or
Citron
pill
,
or
a
Clove
.
Let
him
desire
his
sicke
friend
to
speake
with
his
face
turned
from
him
.
When
he
goeth
forth
,
let
him
wash
his
hands
and
face
with
rose
vineger
and
water
as
before
,
especially
if
he
have
taken
his
friend
by
the
hand
as
the
manner
is
:
and
going
presently
to
his
owne
house
,
let
him
change
his
garments
,
and
lay
those
wherein
he
visited
his
friend
,
apart
for
a
good
time
before
he
resume
them
againe
.
Let
him
not
forget
upon
his
returne
home
or
before
,
to
take
a
convenient
quantitie
of
his
cordiall
Electuarie
,
and
forbeare

two
after

That
Amulets
confected
of
Arsenicke
,
are
no
good
Preservatives
against
the
Plague
.
PErceiving
many
in
this
Citie
to
weare
about
their
necks
,
upon
the
region
of
the
heart
,
certaine
Placents
,
or
Amulets
(
as
Preservatives
against
the
Pestilence
)
confected
of
Arsenicke
a
strong
poyson
,
I
have
thought
it
needfull
(
other
men
keeping
silence
)
to
declare
briefly
my
opinion
touching
the
said
Amulets
:
not
(
I
professe
)
in
hatred
to
any
mans
person
,
or
envie
at
their
commoditie
,
wherein
I
might
have
shared
with
them
,
if
I
could
have
brought
my
judgement
to
concurre
with
theirs
;
but
in
conscience
,
and
discharge
of
my
dutie
.
The
rather
because
I
feare
greatly
,
that
through
vaine
confidence
in
them
,
other
more
apposite
,
convenient
and
effectuall
Antidotes
,
and
Alexeteries
are
neglected
.
My
opinion
is
,
that
these
Placents
of
Arsenicke
carried
about
upon
the
Region
of
the
heart
,
are
so
farre
from
effecting
any
good
in
that
kinde
,
as
a
preservative
,
that
they
are
very
dangerous
and
hurtfull
,
if
not
pernicious
to
those
that
weare
them
.
It
is
evident
that
Arsenicke
being
a
confessed
poison
,
Gal.

is
an
opposite
,
professed
and
perpetuall
enemy
to
our
nature
.
Therefore
being
worne
next
the
skin
,
as
soone
as
the
heart
waxeth
hot
by
any
vehement
motion
,
labour
or
stirring
(
as
it
falleth
out
usually
)
it
must
needs
send
out
venomous
vapours
to
that
noble
and
principall
part
;
which
will
either
penetrate
by
their
owne
force
,
or
be
drawne
in
with
the
aire
▪
by
the
dilation
of
those
arteries
which
are
spread
about
the
skin
.
Now
these
poisonfull
vapours
being
entred
or
sucked
into
the
body
,
when
they
finde
no
contrarie
poison
with
whom
to
wrastle
as
with
an
enemy
(
for
if
there
were
any
venom
in
the
body
,
the
partie
could
not
enjoy
health
:
but
we
intend
him
to
be
in
health
,
whom
we
would
preserve
)
they
must
needs
imprint
a
malignant
venomous
qualitie
in
the
spirits
and
heart
,
most
adverse
and
pernicious
to
nature
.

if
they

Therefore
unlesse
wee
will
disclaime
these
ancient
worthies
and
ring-leaders
method
,
and
follow
new-found
and
unsound
devises
,
wee
must
fight
against
this
monster
,
not
with
poisons
,
but
Antidotes
.
Poisons
are
desined
to
be
such
:

as
at
no
time
doe
agree
with
nature
,
either
well
,
or
ill
affected
.
For
though
there
be
poisons
which
if
they
finde
a
contrarie
venom
in
the
body
,
doe
fight
so
with
it
,
that
by
the
skirmish
both
poisons
die
,
and
the
partie
by
their
contention
and
colluctation
escapeth
with
his
life
:
yet
it
is
agreed
on
by
all
,
that
where
they
finde
no
such
adversary
or
opposition
,
they
speed
the
partie
.
Therefore
Arsenicke
worne
by
a
man
in
health
,
finding
not
onely
no
contrary
poyson
to
warre
upon
,
but
no
poyson
at
all
,
must
necessarily
oppose
and
set
upon
nature
her selfe

that
it
hath
beene
observed
,
that
the
wearers
of
these
Amulets
,
upon
heating
their
bodies
,
have
fallen
into
sodaine
Lypothimies
and
soounings
,
with
other
fearefull
accidents
,
which
ceased

the
Bagge

was

That
others
,
though
not
instantly
,
yet
after
some
time
,
have
by
late
and
woefull
experience
discerned
their
malignitie
,
falling
into
malignate
and
pestilent
feavers
,
some
of
them
ending
with
death
it selfe
.
Franc.
Alphanus
a
Physitian
of
Salerne
telleth
of
one
,
who
wearing
Arsenicke
,
and
heating
himselfe
at
tennise
,
fell
downe
sodainly
dead
.
Matheus
Hessus
writeth
thus
:
As
cordiall
bagges
or
Amulets
cannot
be
disallowed
,
so
empoisoned
can
no
way
bee
commended
;
neither
doe
I
remember
that
any
ever
received
good
from
them
who
abstained
from
other
Antidotes
.
This
I
certainly
know
,
that
diverse
who
carrie
about
them
quick-silver
in
a
nut-shell
,
by
the
vaine
perswasion
of
some
impostors
,
have
died
of
the
Plague
:
and
the
counsellers
of
such
like
Amulets
have
beene
the
first
that
have
betaken
themselves
to
their
heeles
,
trusting
more
in
their
running
than
cunning
.
And
yet
these
good
fellowes
,
perswaded
the
ignorant
with
great
words
,
and
it
may
be
oaths
,
that
whosoever
carried
Quick-silver
or
Arsenicke
about
his
necke
,
was
as
safe
as
if
hee
had
purchased
a
protection
from
the
King
of
heaven
.
Historians
report
,
that
Caracalla
though
a
wicked
Emperour
,
made
a
publike
Edict
or
Proclamation
,
that
no
man
should
weare
about
him
superstitious
Amulets
.
Theophrastus
the
great
,
esteemed
(
not
without
cause
)
Pericles
to
have
a
crased
braine
,
because
he
saw
him
weare
an
Amulet
about
his
necke
.
Hereunto
(
as
a
Corollary
)
wee
may
adde
the
experience
of
some
London
Physitians
,
who
have
seene
foule
holes
made
in
the
breast
of
those
that
have
worne
them
,
and
observed
diverse
to
die
as
well
as
others
,
who
have
religiously
carried
them
about
their
neckes
.
I
omit
,
for
brevitie
,
to
answer
their
reasons
,
who
allow
them
,
because
those
that
are
alledged
by
Emperickes
and
ignorant
persons
,
are
not
worthy
the
answering
;
and
those
that
are
produced
by
some
few
learned
men
(
the
whole
streame
running
against
them
)
are
not
comprehensible
by
the
common
sort
,
for
whose
good
I
have
set
forth
this
short
Caveat
.
But
if
any
will
contend
,
I
will
either
answer
him
,
or
yeeld
up
my
weapons
.
In
conclusion
onely
remember
,
that
whereas
the
sellers
and
setters
out
,
of
these
deceiptfull
wares
,
make
them
as
a
Scout
to
discover
the
Infection
,
when
it
beginneth
to
seize
upon
a
man
,
by
giving
a
watch-word
,
and
clapping
close
to
the
heart
,
to
guard
that
part
as
the
chiefe
Tower
:
this
is
a
meere
deceipt
,
collusion
and
abusion
.
For
whensoever
the
body
is
heated
,
this
event
followeth
necessarily
,
as
is
before
declared
,
though
no
other
infection
be
neare
but
the
infectious
,
poisonfull
and
venomous
Arsenicke
;
who
offereth
not
at
that
time
,
to
the
heart
a
friendly
salutation
or
caveat
,
but
rather
a
Iudas
kisse
,
and
Ioab-like
imbracing

to

I
would
intreate
the
Governovrs
of
the
Citie
of
London
,
and
all
others
in
the
Country
,
with
all
richmen
,
to
take
speciall
notice
of
their
poore
brethren
,
being
bone
of
their
bone
,
and
flesh
of
their
flesh
,
and
,
as
to
restraine
the
idle
Vagabonds
,
by
whose
wandring
up
and
downe
,
the
infection
may
well
be
spread
and
increased
,
so
to
provide
for
the
true
and
honest
poore
miserable
people
,
that
they
may
be
supplyed
with
food
,
and
convenient
Physicke
if
they
fall
into
sicknesse
.
And
because
I
will
not
perswade
others
to
charitie
,
and
my selfe
remaine
altogether
uncharitable
,
I
purpose
to
set
downe
certaine
curative
directions
,
for
the
poorer
sort
,
with
such
parable
and
cheape
Medicins
,
as
may
come
within
the
compasse
of
their
short
and
meane
abilitie
.
So
soone
therefore
as
any
of
them
,
apprehend
themselves
taken
with
the
plague
,
let
them
goe
to
their
warme
bed
,
and
take
this
Medicine
.
Take
of
Verben
with
the
roote
dryed
and
poudred
two
dragmes
,
the
juyce
of
the
same
herbe
three
ounces
,
halfe
a
small
spoonefull
of
white
Wine
vineger
,
mixe
it
,
and
drinke
it
warme
,
and
sweate
for
two
or
three
houres
.
Let
them
not
sleepe
during
the
time
of
their
sweating
;
whilst
they
sweat
,
let
them
hold
under
their
arme-pits
,
and
upon
the
either
emunctories
,
especially
the
groynes
,
a
Radish
roote
,
divided
into
two
parts
,
the
same
roote
is
to
be
tyed
,
unto
the
plants
or
hollow
of
their
feete
,
when
they
have
sweat
well
,
for
two
or
three
houres
,
according
to
the
strength
,
and
age
of
the
partie
,
dry
their
bodyes
well
,
with
warme
and
cleane
linnen
clothes
,
beginning
with
the
arme-pits
and
groyne
,
then
the
breast
,
whereon
after
the
sweate
is
well
wiped
away
,
lay
a
fresh
and
cleane
linnen
Napkin
doubled
.
That
done
,
let
them
wash
their
mouth
,
face
,
and
hands
,
with
water
and
vineger
,
and
drinke
a
good
draught
of
mutton
broath
made
with
Rose-mary
,
Tyme
,
Sorrell
,
Cichory
.
If
their
stomacke
will
give
them
leave
,
they
may
eate
a
little
mutton
,
or
veale
at
dinner
,
but
they
are
to
forbeare
flesh-meate
at
Suppers
.
In
stead
of
broath
,
water-grewell
with
Rose-mary
,
or
Burnet
will
doe
well
,
or
thinne
pannada
.
For
their
drinke
.
Let
it
be
the
middle
or
sixe
shillings-bee●e
,
warmed
with
a
tost
,
Or
water
boyled
with
Cardius
seed
,
and
Caroway
seed
,
and
the
roots
of
Scabius
,
and
Verben
,
with
a
crust
of
bread
.
Then
let
them
rest
,
or
sleepe
,
washing
their
mouth
often
,
if
they
be
awake
,
with
water
and
vineger
.
They
may
likewise
make
a
Quilt
with
Balme
,
Mint
,
Rose-mary
,
Sage
,
Sweet
Marjeram
dryed
,
and
sprinkling
it
with
vineger
of
wormewood
or
Hearb-grace
,
or
ordinary
wine
vineger
,
apply
it
to
the
region
of
the
heart
warme
.
The
second
sweating
Medicine
.
After
eight
houres
from
the
first
invasion
of
the
Pest
,
let
them
take
another
sweating
Medicine
.
Take
of
the
powder
of
the
roote
of
Diptamne
,
Scabbius
,
Gentian
each
halfe
a
dragme
,
seed
of
Carduus
Benedictus
a
scruple
,
juyce
of
Mary-gold
flowers
,
devils-pit
,
each
two
ounces
,
halfe
a
spoonfull
of
vineger
,
of
Rue
or
Wormwood
,
or
in
want
of
them
,
ordinary
Vineger
of
White
Wine
.
Let
them
drinke
this
warme
,
and
sweat
againe
,
as
at
the
first
time
two
or
three
houres
,
keeping
in
the
meane
while
a
Radish
roote
at
the
Emunctories
,
as
before
.
Then
dry
off
the
sweat
,
wash
the
mouth
,
face
and
hands
as
before
,
take
some
convenient
nourishment
,
and
carry
themselves
as
in
the
first
interim
of
eight
houres
.
The
third
sweating
Medicine
.
Againe
the
third
time
,
after
the
like
pause
or
intervall
,
let
them
take
another
sweating
and
Cordiall
Med.
in
this
manner
.
Take
of
the
seed
of
Rue
or
Hearb-grace
,
a
scruple
and
halfe
,
that
is
,
(
30
graines
)
of
the
roots
of
Enula
campana
,
Valerian
,
Fullers
teasells
,
Aristolochia
the
round
,
each
halfe
a
scruple
,
the
juyce
of
three
leaved
Sorrell
called
allebia
,
two
ounces
;
juyce
of
Rue
,
Scabious
,
each
an
ounce
,
a
little
of
the
forenamed
vineger
.
Let
them
take
it
warme
,
sweat
,
as
before
,
and
carry
themselves
in
all
points
as
before
,
and
continue
this
course
for
foure
or
five
dayes
.
But
if
any
be
in
that
extreamitie
of
povertie
and
misery
,
that
they
cannot
procure
these
parable
and
easie
cheape
Medicins
,
let
them
drinke
twice
in
the
day
,
a
draught
of
their
owne
Vrine
,
in
the
morning
,
and
five
in
the
after-noone
.
If
in
the
first
,
second
or
third
day
,
the
Botches
or
Carbuncles
appeare
,
the
best
and
safest
way
,
both
for
poore
and
rich
,
is
to
commit
themselves
to
be
ordred
and
dressed
,
by
a
skilfull
Chirurgion
.
There
will
be
(
no
doubt
)
assigned
and
maintained
,
for
the
meaner
and
poorer
sort
,
Chirurgions
ex
communi
aerario
,
out
of
the
common
Purse
,
especially
in
London
.
Let
those
that
are
wealthy
,
make
choise
of
their
owne
Chyrurgion
,
and
pay
well
for
their
cure
.
For
a
little
health
,
is
worth
a
great
deale
of
gold
,
which
a
Chyrurgion
in
that
case
,
must
fetch
out
of
the
fire
,
and
hazard
his
owne
life
every
day
,
to
save
his
Patient
.

you

doe
oft
