TO
THE
RIGHT
HONORABLE
THE
LORD
Maior
,
and
to
the
Right
Worshipfull
the
Aldermen
and
Sheriffes
of
the
Citie
of
London
.
TWo
causes
(
Right
Honourable
and
Worshipfull
)
haue
moued
me
to
publish
this
present
Treatise
of
the
plague
;
One
is
the
duetie
and
loue
which
I
owe
to
this
Citie
(
wherein
I
was
bred
and
brought
vp
,
and
for
which
(
as
the
Orator
Cicero
in
his
Offices
,
and
the
Philosopher
Plato
in
his
Common-weale
do
testifie
)
euery
good
man
ought
to
employ
his
vttermost
indeuour
:
The
next
is
a
charitable
remorse
I
haue
conceiued
to
see
my
poore
country-men
and
afflicted
brethren
turmoiled
and
attainted
with
the
greeuous
sicknes
of
the
Plague
:
and
left
without
guide
or
counsaile
how
to
succour
themselues
in
extremitie
:
For
where
the
infestion
most
rageth
there
pouertie
raigneth
among
the
Commons
,
which
hauing
no
supplies
to
satisfie
the
greedie
desire
of
those
that
should
attend
them
,
are
for
the
most
part
left
desolate
&
die
without
reliefe
.
For
their
sakes
haue
I
vndertaken
this
prouince
to
write
of
the
plague
,
to
the
end
that
with
a
litle
charge
a
poore
man
may
haue
instructions
by
a
litle
reading
both
to
know
and
to
cure
all
the
euil
accidents
that
attend
the
diseases
.
It
resteth
in
your
Honor
&
those
your
right
Worshipfull
assistance
,
to
haue
especiall
care
that
this
charitable
intent
of
mine
may
be
furthered
by
your
discreet
orders
,
in
such
manner
that
these
bookes
may
be
dispearsed
among
those
families
that
are
visited
,
to
the
end
they
may
finde
comfort
and
cure
by
their
owne
hands
and
diligence
.
This
is
the
only
reward
I
require
,
as
Almightie
God
knoweth
,
to
whose
mercy
I
commend
you
.

To
the
curteous
and
friendly
Reader
.
THou
maist
wonder
perhaps
(
Gentle
Reader
)
why
amongst
so
many
excellent
and
learned
Phisitians
of
this
Citie
,
I
alone
haue
vndertaken
to
answere
the
expectation
of
the
multitude
,
&
to
beare
the
heauy
burthen
of
contentious
Critiques
and
deprauers
:
But
when
the
cause
shall
be
examined
,
and
the
reasons
considered
,
I
hope
to
resolue
thee
so
well
,
as
thou
shalt
haue
no
cause
to
condemne
me
:
There
haue
beene
lately
certaine
Thessali
that
haue
bestowed
a
new
Printed
liuery
on
euery
olde
post
,
and
promised
such
myracles
,
as
if
they
held
the
raine
of
desteny
in
their
own
hands
,
and
were
able
to
make
old
Aeson
young
againe
:
Amongst
these
,
one
by
fortune
is
become
my
neighbour
,
who
because
at
the
first
he
vnderwrit
not
his
billes
,
euery
one
that
red
them
came
flocking
to
me
,
coniuring
me
by
great
profers
and
perswasions
to
store
them
with
my
promised
preseruatiues
,
and
relieue
their
sicke
with
my
Cordiall
waters
:
These
importunities
of
theirs
made
mee
both
agreeued
,
and
amazed
;
agreeued
,
because
of
that
loathsome
imposition
which
was
laide
vppon
me
,
to
make
my selfe
vendible
,
(
which
is
vnworthy
a
liberall
&
gentle
minde
,
much
more
ill
beseeming
a
Phisitian
and
Philosopher
,
who
ought
not
to
prostitute
so
sacred
a
profession
so
abiectly
,
but
be
a
contemner
of
base
and
seruile
desire
of
mony
,
as
Galen
witnesseth
in
his
booke
,
Quod
optimus
medicus
,
idem
sii
&
Philosophus
:
amazed
,
to
see
the
ignorance
and
error
of
the
multitude
,
who
dare
trust
their
liues
to
their
hands
who
build
their
experience
on
hazard
of
mens
liues
:
and
are
troubled
with
the
scab
of
the
minde
,
which
Plato
in
Alcibiade
calleth
Probrosam
imperitiam
,
and
M.
A.
Natta
,
in
his
5.
booke
de
Pulchro
,
voluntary
ignorance
.
Herevpon
(
by
the
earnest
solicitation
of
my
friends
)
and
vnder
a
great
desire
to
doe
good
vnto
my
neighbors
,
I
haue
faithfully
gathered
out
of
the
most
approued
Authors
,
(
especially
out
of
certaine
notes
which
I
receiued
from
Valenolaes
sonne
now
Doctor
of
Phisique
in
Arles
,
in
Prouince
)
a
true
Methode
how
to
knowe
and
cure
the
Plague
,
which
freely
and
charitably
I
offer
to
the
reliefe
of
those
who
want
meanes
to
relieue
their
estates
in
this
time
of
visitation
,
and
the
rather
because
the
world
might
conceiue
of
me
in
such
sort
,
that
I
preferre
a
common
good
(
according
to
Platoes
counsell
,
)
before
all
the
gaping
desires
of
gaine
and
profit
in
this
world
.
An other
reason
was
,
because
such
bookes
as
already
are
past
abroad
,
are
confusedly
hudled
vp
,
without
either
forme
or
Methode
,
which
is
an
vnpardonable
errour
in
those
that
indeuour
to
instruct
others
.
For
these
causes
haue
I
bene
drawne
to
write
and
expose
my selfe
to
mens
iudgements
.
Now
that
I
study
not
in
this
Treatise
to
hunt
after
vain-glory
,
God
can
beare
me
witnes
,
and
the
plain
stile
I
haue
vsed
therein
may
easily
make
knowne
,
which
had
I
a
mind
to
bewitch
the
eares
and
minds
of
the
reader
,
might
perhaps
haue
bin
better
tempered
:
neither
haue
I
a
setled
purpose
to
wound
other
mens
fame
,
(
as
all
men
may
coniecture
)
since
hauing
iust
occasion
offered
me
to
reproue
them
,
yet
had
I
rather
conceale
that
wherein
they
erre
,
then
discouer
their
Scribendi
Cacoethen
(
as
the
Poets
saith
)
to
their
disgrace
.
Truly
my
resolution
is
to
prouoke
no
man
,
and
those
that
know
me
inwardly
of
late
time
can
witnesse
,
that
I
resemble
the
Mauritanian
Mare
(
of
whom
Plutarch
maketh
mention
)
which
being
led
to
the
water
,
&
seeing
her
shadow
therin
,
suffereth
her selfe
afterward
to
be
ridden
by
Asses
:
I
thanke
God
I
haue
indured
wrongs
,
tho
I
haue
had
power
to
reuenge
them
.
But
because
my
desire
is
to
leaue
all
men
satisfied
,
I
must
a
litle
retire
my selfe
to
yeeld
men
of
worth
&
learning
satisfaction
in
a
matter
wherein
perhaps
they
might
except
against
me
.
There
is
a
lerned
Phisitian
that
hath
lately
written
against
Amuteles
or
cakes
of
Arsenick
,
who
perhaps
may
conceiue
vnkindnes
against
me
,
because
in
this
Treatise
I
haue
set
downe
the
vse
therof
as
a
soueraine
preseruatiue
against
the
Plague
,
where
he
hath
condemned
them
;
but
he
must
excuse
me
in
this
case
,
for
I
haue
no
intent
to
commend
the
same
because
he
condemneth
it
,
but
by
reason
of
their
authoritie
and
experience
who
haue
bin
the
lights
and
honors
of
Phisicke
,
as
Mercurialis
in
his
book
de
Venenis
,
chap.
13.
Capiuachius
in
his
book
de
Febribus
chap.
13.
&
Heurinus
in
his
booke
de
Febribus
,
chap.
19.
Valeriola
and
diuers
others
,
who
by
vniforme
consent
do
allow
the
same
either
worne
vnder
the
arme
pittes
,
or
about
the
region
of
the
heart
,
by
reason
that
by
a
certaine
similitude
one
venome
draweth
an
other
with
it
,
as
Arsenick
,
which
voideth
the
poison
of
the
Plague
insensibly
,
Quod
venenum
&
corpore
attrahat
&
tota
forma
,
&
ratione
caliditatis
.
This
Antipathie
in
Arsenick
experience
doth
allow
,
authoritie
doth
confirme
,
and
reason
(
which
is
an
other
of
the
feete
whereon
Phisicke
walketh
as
Galen
testifieth
)
doth
assist
it
,
which
he
may
easily
perceiue
that
readeth
Mercurialis
,
in
the
place
afore
alledged
.
But
for
that
I
intend
onely
to
iustifie
mine
owne
actes
&
not
to
impugne
others
,
let
this
suffice
.
And
to
conclude
,
if
any
man
in
the
ripenesse
of
his
iudgement
be
more
oculatus
in
this
cause
,
then
either
these
Fathers
of
Phisicke
or
my selfe
am
,
I
enuy
him
not
,
but
leaue
him
to
his
better
thoughts
,
till
I
may
be
more
fully
satisfied
.
Thus
committing
you
to
him
on
whose
mercy
I
depend
,
I
take
my
leaue
of
the
gentle
Reader
,
desiring
no
other
reward
at
thy
hands
but
a
fewe
deuout
praiers
for
me
,
which
I
wil
pay
thee
againe
with
double
vsury
whilest
God
lendeth
me
life
.

CHAP.
1.
Of
the
nature
and
essence
of
the
Plague
.
THe
Diuine
Philosopher
Plato
(
declaring
vnto
vs
in
diuers
of
his
Dialogues
,
the
perfect
way
and
path
,
whereby
we
may
rightly
intreat
,
and
skilfully
procéede
,
in
the
discouery
of
any
thing
)
saith
,
That
it
behoueth
euery
man
,
that
indeuoureth
by
Art
and
methode
to
attaine
the
perfect
knowledge
of
that
whereof
he
standeth
in
doubt
,
or
is
desirous
to
instruct
an
other
in
any
Science
whatsoeuer
,
to
begin
with
the
definition
of
the
same
,
without
the
perfect
grounds
and
vnderstanding
whereof
,
nothing
may
be
either
worthily
knowne
,
or
truly
explicated
:
(
which
lesson
of
his
,
both
Tully
in
his
Offices
,
and
Gallen
in
his
Booke
of
the
differences
of
sicknesses
haue
very
carefully
obserued
:
)
Since
therefore
in
this
Treatise
of
mine
,
I
am
purposed
(
by
the
grace
and
assistance
of
Almightie
God
)
to
manifest
vnto
you
the
nature
,
malignitie
,
and
accidents
of
the
Plague
,
to
the
intent
and
purpose
that
I
may
instruct
you
after
what
manner
you
may
withstand
a
sicknesse
so
gréeuous
,
and
accompanied
with
so
diuers
and
dangerous
accidents
,
by
those
meanes
and
medicines
,
which
God
of
his
mercy
hath
left
vs
,
by
the
noble
Art
of
Phisicke
,
it
shall
not
be
amisse
,
if
for
your
better
vnderstanding
what
the
plague
is
,
I
take
my
beginning
from
the
definition
of
the
same
.
But
before
I
prosecute
this
my
intended
purpose
,
let
vs
inuocate
and
call
vpon
that
diuine
bountie
,
from
whose
fountaine-head
of
mercy
euery
good
and
gracious
benefit
is
deriued
,
that
it
will
please
him
to
assist
this
my
labor
,
and
charitable
intent
,
and
so
to
order
the
scope
of
my
indeuour
,
that
it
may
redound
to
his
eternall
glory
,
our
neighbours
comfort
,
and
the
speciall
benefite
of
our
whole
Countrey
:
which
being
now
vnder
the
fatherly
correction
of
Almightie
God
,
and
punished
for
our
misdéeds
by
his
heauy
hand
,
may
thorow
the
admirable
effects
and
fruites
of
the
sacred
Art
of
Phisicke
,
receiue
preuention
of
their
daunger
,
and
comfort
in
this
desperate
time
of
visitation
:
To
him
therfore
king
of
kings
,
inuisible
,
and
onely
wise
,
be
all
honor
,
maiestie
and
dominion
,
now
and
for
euer
,
Amen
.
The
Plague
then
(
as
Galen
witnesseth
,
is
a
pernicious
and
daungerous
Epidemie
,
(
that
is
to
say
,
a
generall
,
or
popular
sicknesse
)
which
violently
rauisheth
all
men
for
the
most
part
to
death
,
without
respect
or
exception
of
age
,
sexe
,
complexion
,
gouernment
in
life
,
or
particular
condition
whatsoeuer
:
And
therefore
is
it
worthily
called
pernicious
,
because
there
can
be
nothing
more
daungerous
then
the
same
,
which
by
the
malignitie
and
violence
therof
,
inforceth
sodaine
death
,
and
by
the
proper
nature
,
proprietie
and
contrarietie
it
hath
with
our
bodies
,
killeth
mankind
no
lesse
readily
,
then
violently
.
But
that
you
may
more
exactly
vnderstand
what
the
plague
is
,
you
ought
to
note
that
there
are
diuers
sorts
of
sicknesses
;
that
is
to
say
Epidemick
,
Endemick
plague
,
and
priuate
disease
,
(
as
Galen
witnesseth
in
diuers
places
:
)
An
Epidemick
plague
,
is
a
common
and
popular
sicknesse
,
hapning
in
some
region
,
or
countrey
,
at
a
certaine
time
,
caused
by
a
certaine
indisposition
of
the
aire
,
or
waters
of
the
same
region
,
producing
in
all
sorts
of
people
,
one
and
the
same
kind
of
sicknesse
;
as
namely
burning
Feuers
,
Tertian
Agues
,
Opthalimes
,
or
inflammation
of
the
tunicle
of
the
eies
,
Carbuncles
,
or
Collicks
,
or
general
and
gréeuous
coughes
,
accompanied
with
shortnes
of
breath
,
or
disenteries
,
or
fluxes
of
blood
,
which
vniuersally
and
very
often
times
raigne
in
some
countries
about
the
end
of
sommer
:
All
which
sicknesses
when
as
they
are
common
in
any
particular
place
or
region
,
are
called
Endemick
,
which
is
as
much
to
say
,
as
sicknesses
happening
publikely
&
popularly
in
the
same
region
or
country
,
by
a
certaine
euil
qualitie
of
the
aire
that
raigneth
therein
,
and
produceth
such
like
infirmities
in
mens
bodies
.
For
as
both
Galen
and
the
diuine
olde
man
Hypocrates
do
testifie
,
euery
sicknesse
that
procéedeth
from
the
aire
infected
with
a
venemous
qualitie
,
that
is
the
cause
which
produceth
and
begetteth
the
same
,
is
in
his
essence
Epidemick
,
popular
,
and
pestilentiall
.
Thus
farre
according
to
the
fathers
of
Phisicke
haue
I
truly
discouered
what
Epidemick
is
.
Endemick
is
a
common
sicknesse
,
and
yet
for
all
that
proper
to
some
one
country
or
region
:
which
is
as
much
to
say
,
as
a
regional
,
or
prouincial
sicknesse
:
For
there
are
certain
regions
and
places
which
by
a
peculiar
propertie
in
themselues
engender
certaine
kindes
of
infirmities
,
which
are
particular
only
to
the
inhabitants
of
that
region
,
either
by
occasion
of
the
aire
,
or
the
waters
in
that
country
.
As
in
the
new
found
land
(
discouered
by
the
Portugalls
and
Spaniards
)
in
that
Iland
which
is
called
Hispaniola
,
and
other
places
of
India
,
there
raigne
certaine
pustules
or
broad
scabs
,
(
not
much
vnlike
the
French
poxes
)
wherewith
almost
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
country
are
infected
,
the
remedy
whereof
they
haue
gathered
from
the
infusion
of
the
wood
of
Guaiacum
,
whence
the
vse
thereof
with
very
fruitfull
successe
hath
bene
discouered
and
proued
forcible
here
in
Europe
.
In
Sauoy
and
the
valley
of
Lucernes
,
the
most
part
of
the
inhabitants
haue
a
swelling
in
the
throate
.
In
Pouille
and
Calabria
,
for
the
most
part
all
the
inhabitants
haue
the
Iaundis
.
And
such
sicknesses
as
are
these
,
are
called
Endemiques
,
prouintiall
or
regionall
infirmities
,
yet
for
all
that
they
are
not
to
be
accounted
pestilentiall
or
contagious
:
The
Plague
as
I
haue
said
,
is
a
pernicious
Epidemie
,
that
is
to
say
,
a
common
and
popular
sicknesse
,
which
is
both
contagious
&
mortall
.
A
priuate
sicknesse
is
that
which
is
particular
&
proper
to
any
one
in
priuate
,
procéeding
from
particular
indisposition
of
the
body
of
him
that
is
attained
,
or
by
reason
of
some
disorderly
dyet
by
him
obserued
,
or
rather
by
some
excesse
committed
by
him
,
or
through
the
corruption
of
the
humours
in
his
bodie
,
yet
not
contagious
;
but
such
an
infirmitie
as
neither
is
frée
from
daunger
,
nor
exempted
from
mortalitie
.
These
are
the
differences
of
such
sicknesses
as
serue
for
our
purposes
to
declare
the
nature
of
the
Plague
,
which
in
her
proper
signification
is
a
popular
and
contagious
sicknesse
,
for
the
most
part
mortall
,
wherein
vsually
there
appeare
certaine
Tumors
,
Carbuncles
,
or
spottes
,
which
the
common
people
call
Gods
tokens
:
which
Plague
procéedeth
from
the
venemous
corruption
of
the
humors
and
spirits
of
the
body
,
infected
by
the
attraction
of
corrupted
aire
,
or
infection
of
euil
vapours
,
which
haue
the
propertie
to
alter
mans
bodie
,
and
poyson
his
spirits
after
a
straunge
and
daungerous
qualitie
,
contrary
and
mortall
enemy
to
the
vitall
spirits
,
which
haue
their
residence
in
the
heart
:
by
reason
whereof
it
suddainly
rauisheth
&
shortly
cutteth
off
mans
life
,
who
for
the
most
part
is
attainted
with
such
a
venemous
contagion
:
And
for
that
we
haue
saide
that
the
plague
is
a
popular
and
contagious
sicknesse
,
it
shall
not
be
amisse
to
declare
and
plainly
discouer
,
what
these
wordes
Popular
,
and
Contagious
,
do
signifie
.
Popular
and
Epidemich
,
haue
one
and
the
same
signification
;
that
is
to
say
,
a
sicknesse
common
vnto
all
people
,
or
to
the
moste
part
of
them
.
Contagion
,
is
an
euil
qualitie
in
a
bodie
,
communicated
vnto
an
other
by
touch
,
engendring
one
and
the
same
disposition
in
him
to
whom
it
is
communicated
.
So
as
he
that
is
first
of
all
attainted
or
rauished
with
such
a
qualitie
,
is
called
contagious
and
infected
.
For
very
properly
is
he
reputed
infectious
,
that
hath
in
himselfe
an
euil
,
malignant
,
venemous
,
or
vitious
disposition
,
which
may
be
imparted
and
bestowed
on
an
other
by
touch
,
producing
the
same
and
as
daungerous
effect
in
him
to
whom
it
is
communicated
,
as
in
him
that
first
communicateth
and
spreddeth
the
infection
.
This
sicknesse
of
the
Plague
is
commonly
engendred
of
an
infection
of
the
Aire
,
altered
with
a
venemous
vapour
,
dispearsed
and
sowed
in
the
same
,
by
the
attraction
and
participation
whereof
,
this
dangerous
and
deadly
infirmitie
is
produced
and
planted
in
vs
,
which
Almightie
God
as
the
rodde
of
his
rigor
and
iustice
,
and
for
the
amendment
of
our
sinnes
sendeth
downe
vppon
vs
,
as
it
is
written
in
Leuiticus
the
26.
Chapter
,
and
in
Deuteronomy
the
28.
If
you
obserue
not
my
Commaundements
saith
our
Lord
,
I
will
extinguish
you
by
the
Plague
which
shall
consume
you
.
To
the
like
effect
is
that
of
Celsus
(
a
man
of
famous
memorie
amongst
our
Phisitions
)
who
very
learnedly
saith
,
that
all
straunge
sicknesses
befall
mortall
men
,
by
reason
of
the
wrath
and
displeasure
of
the
Goddes
,
and
that
the
necessary
meanes
to
finde
recouery
and
remedie
for
the
same
,
is
to
haue
recourse
vnto
them
by
intercession
and
prayer●
.
The
same
also
testifieth
Homer
(
the
soueraigne
of
all
diuine
Science
&
Poeticall
perfection
)
in
the
first
booke
of
his
Iliades
.
Since
therefore
it
is
euident
by
the
testimonies
abouesaid
,
that
the
Plague
is
a
manifest
signe
of
the
wrath
of
God
conceiued
against
vs
,
the
first
and
most
wholesome
remedie
is
to
haue
recourse
vnto
him
,
who
is
the
Father
of
mercy
,
and
soueraign
Phisition
of
all
infirmities
,
imploring
his
grace
and
mercy
,
by
fastings
,
praiers
,
and
supplications
,
by
almesdéeds
,
good
works
,
and
amendment
of
life
,
to
the
ende
we
may
appease
and
pacifie
his
wrath
,
and
reconcile
our selues
vnto
him
,
and
obtaine
his
grace
and
mercy
,
according
to
the
example
of
penitent
Dauid
,
and
the
contrite
Niniuites
.
In
imitation
of
whome
,
if
we
shall
haue
our
recourse
vnto
his
mercy
seat
,
we
may
rest
assured
that
he
will
beholde
vs
with
his
eye
of
pittie
,
and
graunt
vs
both
health
of
soule
and
bodie
,
according
vnto
his
promises
made
vnto
those
who
call
vpon
him
in
humilitie
and
sinceritie
of
hart
and
conscience
.

CHAP.
II.
Of
the
causes
of
the
Plague
.
THose
sicknesses
which
are
contagious
and
pestilent
(
euen
as
al
other
kinds
of
infirmities
)
haue
their
causes
.
For
nothing
may
produce
without
an
efficient
cause
that
bringeth
the
same
to
effect
:
The
Plague
then
hath
his
originall
&
producing
causes
,
from
whence
shée
taketh
originall
beginning
:
and
is
engendred
by
a
certaine
and
more
secret
meanes
then
all
other
sicknesses
.
For
,
for
the
most
part
the
causes
of
priuate
sicknesses
which
are
not
infectious
,
are
either
to
great
repletion
,
or
a
generall
deprauation
of
the
humours
which
are
in
the
body
,
or
obstruction
,
or
binding
,
or
putrifaction
,
as
Galen
in
his
Booke
,
(
Of
the
Causes
of
sicknesses
)
hath
very
learnedly
written
.
But
the
Plague
hath
none
of
these
aboue
mentioned
causes
,
but
only
contagious
and
pestilent
:
yet
notwithstanding
together
with
these
causes
of
repletion
,
Cachochimie
,
obstruction
,
&
putrifaction
,
the
Plague
may
bée
annexed
and
vnited
;
but
yet
in
such
sort
,
as
they
be
not
the
proper
reputed
causes
which
ingender
the
Plague
,
for
then
if
that
should
follow
,
all
sicknesses
accompanied
with
such
like
causes
might
be
reputed
pestilentiall
,
which
were
both
vntrue
and
absurde
:
It
behooueth
vs
therefore
,
to
finde
out
a
proper
and
continent
cause
of
the
Plague
,
and
such
like
contagious
infirmities
.
Let
vs
then
conclude
with
Galen
,
in
his
Booke
Of
Treacle
,
to
Piso
,
and
Pamphilianus
,
that
all
pestilentiall
sicknesses
,
as
from
the
proper
cause
,
are
ingendred
from
the
ayre
,
depraued
and
altered
in
his
substance
,
by
a
certaine
vicious
mixture
of
corrupted
and
strange
vapours
,
contrary
to
the
life
of
man
,
and
corrupting
the
vitall
spirit
:
which
vnkindly
excretion
sowed
in
the
ayre
,
and
infecting
the
same
,
communicateth
vnto
vs
by
our
continuall
alteration
of
the
same
,
the
venome
which
poysoneth
vs
.
The
ready
and
spéedy
chaunges
,
saith
Galen
,
which
happen
in
the
ayre
,
through
the
euill
corruption
of
the
same
,
produce
the
Plague
;
which
like
a
rauishing
beast
depopulateth
and
destroyeth
diuers
men
by
death
,
yea
whole
cities
,
because
men
hauing
a
necessitie
to
sucke
in
the
ayre
,
together
with
the
same
sucke
in
the
infection
and
venome
:
By
this
it
appeareth
that
the
proper
and
immediat
cause
which
ingendreth
the
Plague
,
is
the
attraction
and
in
breathing
of
the
ayre
,
infected
and
poisoned
with
a
certaine
venemous
vapour
,
contrary
to
the
nature
of
man
.
To
his
effect
before
his
time
,
the
great
M.
of
Physique
,
Hipocrates
writeth
thus
,
in
his
Booke
Of
Humane
Nature
:
The
cause
(
saith
he
)
of
the
generall
pestilence
which
indifferently
attainteth
all
sortes
of
men
,
is
the
ayre
which
we
sucke
,
that
hath
in
it selfe
a
corrupt
and
venemous
seede
,
which
we
draw
with
our
in-breathing
.
Now
the
causes
which
engender
such
vapours
in
the
aire
,
are
diuers
and
of
different
kindes
,
for
sometimes
such
a
vapour
is
lifted
vp
into
the
ayre
,
by
reason
of
the
corruption
&
stench
of
dead
and
vnburied
bodyes
;
(
as
in
places
where
any
great
battell
haue
béene
fought
,
it
often
falleth
out
,
according
as
diuers
Histories
testifie
.
)
It
is
ingendred
also
through
euill
vapours
that
issue
from
the
earth
,
or
certaine
Caues
thereof
,
which
yéelde
foorth
exhalations
full
of
corruptions
that
infect
the
ayre
,
where
it
contracteth
by
an
euill
qualitie
.
It
happeneth
likewise
by
a
loathsome
steame
,
of
certain
Marsh
in
plashie
Fennes
full
of
mudde
and
durt
,
as
also
from
diuers
sorts
of
Plantes
,
and
venemous
beastes
,
whose
euill
qualitie
may
produce
such
an
effect
in
the
ayre
.
But
the
ancient
Physitians
and
Astrologers
,
(
as
namely
Auicen
,
with
diuers
others
)
report
:
that
the
Plague
hath
two
originals
and
sources
,
from
whence
(
as
from
a
Fountaine
)
shée
taketh
her
beginning
.
The
first
is
,
in
the
indisposition
of
the
earth
ouerflowed
with
too
much
moysture
,
and
filled
with
grosse
and
euill
vapours
,
which
by
vertue
of
the
Sunne
béeing
lifted
vppe
into
the
ayre
,
and
mixed
with
the
same
,
corrupteth
the
nature
and
complexion
thereof
,
and
engendreth
a
certaine
indisposition
in
the
same
contrary
to
our
substaunce
,
from
whence
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
they
who
sucke
this
infected
aire
are
in
daunger
to
be
attainted
with
this
contagion
and
sicknesse
of
the
Pestilence
.
Especially
,
if
they
be
of
an
euil
constitution
of
body
,
repleate
with
euil
humours
,
men
of
vnbrideled
dyet
,
sanguine
,
and
such
as
haue
large
and
portuall
pores
:
They
likewise
who
are
weake
and
delicate
,
are
men
ready
to
be
surprised
and
infected
.
An other
cause
of
the
Plague
saith
Auicen
,
procéedeth
from
the
celestiall
formes
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
starres
and
their
configurations
and
malignant
aspects
,
which
by
their
influences
cause
such
sicknesses
full
of
contagion
and
Pestilence
,
as
in
generall
all
other
Astrologians
testifie
:
But
in
truth
as
touching
mine
owne
opinion
which
is
grounded
vpon
the
diuine
determination
of
Plato
in
his
Epinomides
,
and
his
Timaeus
,
of
Plotinus
his
chiefe
follower
,
of
Iamblichus
,
Proclus
,
Mercurius
,
Trismegistus
,
Aristotle
,
and
Auerrhois
,
I
finde
that
this
opinion
,
is
both
false
and
erronious
;
as
namely
,
to
thinke
that
any
contagion
or
misfortune
,
incommoditie
or
sicknesse
whatsoeuer
may
by
reason
of
the
starres
befall
man
.
Because
as
Plato
witnesseth
in
his
Dialogue
intituled
Epinomis
,
The
nature
of
the
starres
is
most
goodly
to
behold
,
wel
gouerned
in
their
motions
,
and
beneficiall
to
all
liuing
creatures
,
bestowing
on
them
all
commodities
of
generation
and
conseruation
:
If
then
the
nature
of
the
starres
be
so
good
that
it
meriteth
to
be
called
diuine
(
as
in
the
same
place
Plato
intituleth
it
)
and
yéeldeth
so
many
benefites
to
these
inferiour
bodies
:
how
can
it
be
that
the
starres
infuse
such
infection
and
contagion
vpon
the
earth
and
earthly
creatures
,
whereas
it
is
manifest
that
no
cause
can
produce
such
effects
as
are
contrary
to
it selfe
?
If
then
the
good
of
inferior
bodies
procéedeth
from
celestiall
bodies
,
as
namely
the
generation
,
production
of
fruites
,
and
riping
of
the
same
:
yea
and
the
conseruation
of
euery
ones
vertue
(
as
in
truth
it
doth
)
:
It
shall
neuer
be
truly
and
possibly
concluded
that
the
corruption
and
extermination
of
bodies
procéedeth
from
the
starres
.
And
therfore
Aristotle
very
aduisedly
saith
;
That
this
inferiour
world
is
very
necessarily
coupled
and
ioyned
with
the
superiour
,
to
the
ende
that
all
the
vertue
therof
might
be
conducted
and
guided
by
the
same
.
If
the
starres
by
their
vertue
conserue
all
the
creatures
in
this
world
,
how
can
they
by
corruption
,
venome
and
contagion
,
dissipate
and
destroy
them
?
The
saide
Plato
also
calleth
all
the
Planets
and
starres
sisters
,
for
their
accord
in
good
doing
;
and
saith
that
it
is
a
great
folly
in
men
to
thinke
that
some
Planets
are
euil
and
malignant
,
and
the
rest
good
,
whereas
all
are
good
.
For
as
Calcidius
the
great
Platonist
saith
in
his
Commentaries
vpon
Platoes
Timaeus
,
No
euil
may
either
procéed
or
take
beginning
from
the
heauens
,
because
in
that
holy
place
all
thinges
are
good
,
and
such
as
resemble
the
diuinitie
,
and
nothing
that
sauoureth
of
malice
may
abide
and
haue
place
:
neither
saith
he
,
can
the
starres
chaunge
their
nature
,
because
it
is
simple
and
pure
,
neither
can
they
degenerate
from
the
simplicitie
and
puritie
which
by
the
Almightie
power
hath
bene
bestowed
vpon
them
.
Why
then
shall
we
attribute
vnto
them
a
malignant
,
pestilent
,
and
contagious
qualitie
,
and
such
as
rauisheth
and
spoyleth
all
liuing
creatures
by
a
venemous
and
pestilent
influence
?
For
if
contagion
be
as
badde
a
thing
as
may
be
(
as
in
truth
it
is
)
the
most
disordinate
and
contrary
to
nature
,
or
rather
enemy
to
life
)
the
source
and
originall
of
which
contagion
,
is
nothing
but
very
infirmitie
,
putrifaction
and
corruption
in
matter
,
how
dare
we
attribute
to
the
starres
&
heauen
(
which
is
the
beginning
of
all
generation
)
such
an
erroneous
and
vnnaturall
accident
?
Wheras
the
Planets
are
Celestiall
bodies
,
well
disposed
,
powerfull
,
without
vice
,
corruption
,
or
matter
,
subiect
or
inclining
to
any
contagion
:
And
therefore
Auerrois
the
chiefe
Commenter
vpon
Aristotle
saith
;
That
whosoeuer
beléeueth
that
Mars
or
any
other
Planet
disposed
in
any
sort
whatsoeuer
,
doth
hurt
to
any
inferiour
bodies
;
the
same
man
in
sooth
beléeueth
such
things
as
are
estraunged
from
all
Philosophie
.
And
the
same
Author
vpon
the
ninth
of
Aristotles
Metaphisiques
,
saith
;
that
the
Celestiall
bodies
which
are
the
beginning
of
all
things
are
eternall
,
and
haue
neither
euil
error
or
corruption
in
them
;
for
corruption
is
of
the
order
of
such
things
as
are
euil
.
And
therefore
saith
he
,
it
is
impossible
to
know
that
which
the
Astronomers
say
,
that
there
are
some
fortunate
,
and
some
vnfortunate
starres
,
but
this
only
may
be
knowne
,
that
whereas
all
of
them
are
good
,
that
some
of
them
are
better
then
other
some
.
Behold
here
the
worthy
and
true
opinion
of
this
excellent
Philosopher
,
which
before
him
(
in
as
much
as
concerneth
the
first
part
of
this
sentence
)
Aristotle
in
the
ninth
of
his
Phisiques
,
Chapter
10.
had
testified
.
The
wise
Philosopher
Mercury
Trimisgistus
in
his
Dialogue
intituled
Asclepius
,
saith
;
that
all
that
which
descendeth
from
heauen
is
generatiue
;
if
then
in
respect
of
vs
the
influence
of
heauen
be
generatiue
(
as
in
truth
it
is
)
:
for
as
Aristotle
saith
,
Sol
&
homo
generant
hominem
)
it
cannot
any
waies
be
possible
that
it
can
corrupt
or
cause
the
confusion
of
mankinde
.
The
like
also
is
confirmed
by
Proclus
,
(
who
interpreteth
vpon
Platoes
booke
de
Anima
&
Demone
,
)
The
Celestiall
bodies
(
saith
he
)
by
a
soueraigne
harmony
containe
all
thinges
in
themselues
,
and
perfect
them
,
and
conforme
them
among
themselues
:
and
to
the
vniuers
,
If
then
it
appeareth
that
the
Celectiall
bodies
perfect
all
things
,
and
both
confirme
&
conserue
them
,
(
as
in
truth
they
doo
,
and
this
Author
witnesseth
)
how
can
these
engender
contagion
and
infection
in
vs
,
which
abolishe
our
perfection
and
integritie
,
and
destroy
vs
by
rauishing
our
liues
?
To
speake
truth
,
as
me
séemeth
it
were
a
thing
impossible
.
For
it
is
contrary
to
the
nature
of
contagion
,
that
it
should
descend
from
heauen
,
because
contagion
is
no
other
thing
but
an
infection
procéeding
from
one
vnto
an
other
by
communication
of
a
pestilent
and
infected
vapour
,
and
by
this
meanes
if
the
Plague
and
contagion
procéeded
from
the
starres
,
it
should
necessarily
follow
by
the
definition
of
contagion
,
that
the
starres
were
primarily
or
formerly
infected
,
if
by
their
influence
they
should
send
a
pernicious
contagion
among
vs
.
But
this
in
no
sort
may
be
graunted
,
because
the
starres
by
being
Celestiall
bodies
,
pure
,
diuine
,
and
estranged
from
all
corruption
,
receiuing
and
containing
no
infection
in
them
,
being
no
materiall
bodies
apt
to
transmutation
or
chaunge
,
(
as
Aristotle
and
Auerrois
in
his
Booke
de
Caelo
est
mundo
,
doo
learnedly
alledge
)
cannot
be
capable
of
infection
or
contagion
,
neyther
communicate
it
to
the
inferior
bodies
.
Let
vs
therefore
cast
off
this
vaine
and
sottish
opinion
whereby
we
are
induced
to
beléeue
that
the
Plague
procéedeth
from
the
heauens
:
that
is
to
say
,
from
the
influence
of
the
starres
,
(
as
by
the
vanitie
of
time
we
haue
had
inducements
.
)
But
let
vs
confesse
that
it
procéedeth
from
the
secret
iudgements
of
God
,
who
intendeth
by
this
scourge
to
whip
vs
for
our
sinnes
,
as
it
appeareth
in
Leuiticus
,
and
Deuteronomy
▪
To
conclude
,
we
say
that
the
cause
of
the
Plague
is
a
malignant
alteration
and
corruption
of
the
ayre
infecting
our
bodies
,
as
it
hath
bene
declared
in
the
beginning
of
this
Chapter
.

III.
Of
the
signes
of
the
Plague
,
both
impendent
and
present
,
with
the
good
and
euil
signes
appearing
in
pestiferous
sicknesses
.
THe
signes
whereby
a
man
may
know
the
infection
of
the
aire
which
threatneth
vs
with
Pestilent
sicknesses
,
are
,
when
as
we
sée
the
same
continuall
and
accustomably
troubled
with
thicke
,
cloudy
,
moyst
,
and
ill
smelling
vapours
,
the
Skie
vnaccustomed
to
Northren
windes
,
but
sollicited
with
Southerly
blastes
;
The
aire
full
of
fogges
and
vapours
,
making
a
showe
of
raine
without
any
showers
:
For
such
signes
as
are
of
that
nature
engender
corrupt
Feuours
,
as
Aristotle
saith
in
his
Probleames
.
If
the
winter
be
hote
and
moyst
,
and
obserue
not
his
naturall
temperature
,
and
when
the
Spring
time
is
very
dry
without
raine
,
and
notwithstanding
colde
,
and
after
for
many
dayes
charged
with
Southerly
windes
,
troubled
aire
,
and
then
cleare
,
and
afterwards
suddainly
ouercast
,
the
nights
colde
,
and
the
day
very
hotte
and
soultry
,
It
signifieth
that
we
shall
haue
an
euil
Plague
the
Sommer
after
.
Moreouer
,
if
at
that
time
there
appeare
any
increase
of
such
creatures
as
are
engendred
of
putrifaction
,
as
wormes
of
the
earth
,
flies
,
gnattes
,
eales
,
serpents
,
toades
,
frogs
,
and
such
like
foretokening
corruption
and
putrifaction
in
the
earth
and
waters
,
and
when
the
aire
the
same
day
chaungeth
from
faire
to
foule
,
and
from
cleare
to
cloudy
,
when
the
Sunne
shineth
and
afterwards
hideth
his
head
in
cloudes
,
in
one
and
the
same
day
,
it
is
a
signe
that
the
temperature
of
the
aire
is
altered
.
And
when
as
Rats
,
Moules
,
and
other
creatures
,
(
accustomed
to
liue
vnder
ground
)
forsake
their
holes
and
habitations
,
it
is
a
token
of
corruption
in
the
same
,
by
reason
that
such
sorts
of
creatures
forsake
their
wonted
places
of
aboade
.
And
when
as
the
Birds
of
the
aire
fall
downe
dead
,
or
forsake
their
nests
,
it
is
a
signe
of
great
corruption
and
contagion
in
the
same
.
Long
and
continuall
raines
,
accompanied
with
Southerly
windes
,
dispose
the
ayre
to
sicknesses
and
putrifaction
,
as
Hipocrates
,
and
Galen
testifie
in
their
Epidemies
.
When
as
Feuers
are
accompanied
with
small
Poxe
,
or
Mesels
,
with
spots
,
or
red
markes
like
to
the
biting
of
Fleas
,
it
is
a
signe
of
a
pestilent
Feuer
.
When
the
sicke
is
very
much
tormented
with
the
passion
of
the
heart
,
vomitings
,
soundings
,
or
weaknes
,
or
faintnes
of
the
hart
,
without
great
outward
but
vehement
inward
both
heate
and
drought
,
with
appearance
of
swellings
,
botches
,
carbuncles
,
and
Mesels
,
without
all
question
he
is
seized
with
a
pestilential
Feuer
,
especially
if
diuers
at
the
same
time
and
in
the
same
place
are
attainted
with
the
same
griefe
:
and
if
so
be
the
partie
which
is
infected
hath
frequented
places
both
contagious
and
infected
.
Sée
heere
the
the
principall
signes
of
the
Plague
and
pestilentiall
Feuer
.
The
euill
,
dangerous
,
and
mortall
signes
in
such
as
are
diseased
,
are
féeblenes
and
weaknes
of
the
regitiue
vertue
of
the
body
(
which
may
be
discouered
by
the
pulse
when
it
is
weake
,
vnequall
,
disorderly
,
lanquishing
and
intermittent
,
by
often
Sincopes
or
soundings
,
alienation
,
and
frenzie
,
blewnesse
and
blacknesse
appearing
about
the
sores
and
carbuncles
,
and
after
their
appearances
the
sodaine
vanishings
of
the
same
,
cold
in
the
extreame
partes
,
and
intollerable
heate
in
the
inward
,
vnquenchable
thirst
,
continually
soundings
,
vrines
white
and
crude
,
or
red
,
troubled
and
blacke
:
Colde
swet
about
the
forehead
and
face
;
crampes
,
blacknesse
in
the
excrements
of
the
body
,
stench
,
and
blewnes
,
the
flux
of
the
belly
,
with
weaknesse
of
the
heart
,
shortnes
of
breath
,
and
great
stench
of
the
same
,
lacke
of
sléepe
,
and
appetite
to
eate
,
profound
sléepe
,
chaunging
of
colour
in
the
face
,
exchaunged
to
palenesse
,
blacknesse
,
or
blewnesse
,
cogitation
or
great
vnquietnes
.
All
these
signes
betoken
either
certaine
death
or
daunger
thereof
in
the
Plague
;
euen
as
contrariwise
the
contrary
foretoken
recouery
of
the
sicknesse
,
by
reason
they
testifie
vpon
the
regitiue
power
and
vertue
of
the
bodie
,
goodnesse
of
the
complexion
,
and
vertue
of
the
same
,
with
strength
of
the
hart
.
For
as
Auicen
sayth
:
They
that
are
manly
,
and
confidently
beare
out
their
sicknesse
without
any
showe
of
feare
,
they
are
those
which
for
the
most
part
escape
.
Likewise
to
haue
a
good
appetite
to
sléepe
in
repose
,
without
disturbance
of
the
body
,
it
is
a
good
signe
.
The
Botches
,
and
Carbuncles
to
retaine
a
good
colour
,
and
without
great
paine
to
be
brought
to
ripenesse
and
supponation
,
to
haue
a
moderate
heate
mayntained
through
all
the
body
:
The
vrines
,
in
disgestion
,
colour
,
substance
,
&
contents
,
to
be
good
:
To
haue
easie
breathing
,
swet
warme
,
&
vniuersall
through
all
the
body
,
appearing
on
a
decretory
or
criticall
day
.
All
these
signes
appearing
in
the
infected
person
,
giue
great
hope
of
his
recouery
.
These
bée
the
signes
and
tokens
by
which
you
may
gather
a
sure
and
vnfained
iudgement
of
that
which
shall
befall
him
that
is
attainted
with
the
Plague
.
CHAP.
IIII.
A
Rule
and
instruction
to
preserue
such
as
be
in
health
,
from
the
infection
.
WHen
as
(
by
the
will
of
GOD
)
the
contagion
of
the
Plague
is
gotten
into
any
place
,
Citie
,
or
Countrey
;
we
ought
to
haue
an
especiall
regard
of
the
generall
good
,
and
by
all
meanes
to
study
for
their
preseruation
who
are
in
health
,
least
they
fall
into
such
inconueniencie
.
First
of
all
,
therefore
it
behooueth
euery
man
to
haue
speciall
care
that
he
frequent
not
any
places
or
persons
infected
,
neither
that
hée
suffer
such
to
breath
vpon
him
:
but
as
Galen
hath
learnedly
aduised
,
in
his
Booke
De
Differentijs
Frebrium
,
Chap.
2.
Estrange
himselfe
as
farre
as
him
lyeth
,
from
their
societie
.
The
first
and
chiefest
remedie
then
,
is
to
chaunge
the
place
,
flie
farre
and
returne
late
:
Hipocrates
,
likewise
in
his
Booke
De
Natura
humana
,
saith
:
that
wee
ought
to
forsake
the
place
whereas
a
generall
sicknesse
rangeth
,
according
to
the
common
Prouerbe
,
Cito
,
longe
,
tarde
.
And
if
necessitie
constraineth
vs
to
frequent
the
infected
,
(
either
to
be
assistant
to
our
friends
,
or
otherwise
:
)
euery
man
ought
to
demeane
himself
in
such
sort
that
the
sick
mans
breath
doo
not
attaint
him
:
which
may
very
easily
be
done
,
if
a
man
haue
the
skill
to
choose
&
take
the
winde
that
properly
bloweth
towards
the
sicke
&
infected
,
and
not
from
the
infected
to
the
healthfull
:
And
therefore
in
that
case
the
healthfull
ought
to
kéepe
themselues
vnder
,
not
ouer
the
winde
.
The
first
part
of
preseruation
,
is
to
purifie
and
purge
the
ayre
from
all
euill
vapours
,
sentes
,
stench
,
corruption
,
putrifaction
,
and
euill
qualitie
.
For
which
cause
,
it
is
necessary
to
make
good
fumes
in
our
houses
,
of
swéet
and
wholesome
wood
,
as
Rosemarie
,
Iuniper
,
and
Lawrell
,
or
Bayes
,
and
to
perfume
the
whole
house
and
chambers
with
the
fume
of
Rosemary
,
Iuniper
,
the
parings
of
Apples
,
Storax
,
Beniamin
,
Incence
,
dried
Roses
,
Lauender
,
and
such
like
,
both
Euening
and
Morning
.
It
is
not
amisse
likewise
at
euery
corner
of
the
stréet
,
(
at
least
twise
in
the
wéek
)
to
make
cleare
and
quicke
Bonefires
to
consume
the
malignant
vapours
of
the
ayre
,
according
as
Acron
the
great
Phisitian
,
commaunded
to
be
done
during
the
mortall
plague
in
Greece
:
As
Paulus
Aegineta
testifieth
in
his
second
Booke
,
Chap.
35.
It
is
good
also
to
weare
swéet
sauors
and
perfumes
about
vs
,
such
as
in
Winter
time
,
are
Marcorame
,
Rosemarie
,
Storax
,
Beniamin
,
or
to
make
a
Pomander
after
this
sort
that
ensueth
,
and
to
weare
it
about
vs
to
smell
too
vpon
all
opertunities
.
Take
of
the
flowers
of
red
Roses
,
of
Violets
,
of
Buglos
,
of
each
halfe
a
little
handfull
,
of
the
thrée
Sanders
,
of
each
a
Dramme
;
of
the
rootes
of
Angelica
,
Gentian
,
and
Zedoary
,
of
each
foure
scruples
;
of
white
Encens
,
Cloues
,
Nutmegs
,
Calamus
,
Aromaticus
,
of
each
a
dram
,
of
Storax
,
Calumit
,
and
red
Beniamin
,
of
each
a
dramme
and
a
halfe
,
of
orientall
Muske
a
scruple
,
of
Amber-greece
halfe
a
scruple
,
of
Ladaum
infused
in
Rose-water
one
ounce
,
mixe
all
these
together
in
Rose-water
where
in
the
Gum
Dragacanth
hath
béene
infused
,
and
with
a
little
of
Rose-vinegar
make
a
paste
,
of
which
you
may
forme
certaine
rounde
Pomanders
,
to
weare
about
your
necke
,
and
smell
vnto
continually
.
Or
take
of
Rose-water
thrée
ounces
,
of
white
Vinegar
,
of
Roses
ij
,
ounces
,
of
white
Wine
,
or
pure
Malmosie
two
spoonfuls
,
of
the
powder
of
Cloues
,
of
the
roote
of
Angelica
and
Storax
of
each
halfe
a
dramme
,
mixe
them
all
together
,
and
with
this
liquor
it
shall
not
be
amisse
to
wash
your
hands
,
bedeaw
your
forehead
&
nostrils
,
and
the
pulces
of
your
armes
,
for
such
an
odour
and
of
so
wholesome
a
qualitie
,
vehemently
repulceth
the
venome
that
assaileth
the
heart
,
and
altereth
the
pestilence
of
the
ayre
.
It
shall
not
be
amisse
likewise
to
carrie
an
Angelica
roote
in
your
mouth
,
or
a
Gentian
or
Zedoary
roote
,
or
else
the
rine
of
an
Orange
,
Lemon
,
or
Pomecitron
,
which
as
Auicen
testifieth
haue
soueraine
effects
in
this
case
.
The
continual
vses
of
these
good
odors
comforteth
the
heart
and
vitall
spirites
,
driueth
away
all
venemous
vapours
,
and
rectifieth
the
ayre
that
whirleth
about
vs
,
as
Auicen
testifieth
in
his
Booke
,
Of
the
Forces
of
the
Heart
.
For
which
cause
,
they
which
desire
the
continuance
of
their
health
,
ought
neuer
to
be
vnprouided
of
these
things
.
Amongst
all
other
medicines
that
haue
the
propertie
to
comfort
and
reioyce
the
heart
,
the
Easterne
Hyacinth
,
béeing
worne
about
the
brest
,
and
next
vnto
the
naked
skin
,
or
else
held
in
the
mouth
is
very
effectuall
,
as
Auicen
testifieth
,
in
his
Booke
,
Of
the
Forces
of
the
Heart
,
(
in
that
Chapter
wherein
hée
entreateth
of
the
Hyacinth
,
)
where
hée
saith
;
that
the
sayd
Stone
hath
not
only
a
propertie
to
fortifie
the
heart
,
and
quicken
the
vitall
spirites
,
but
also
to
resist
all
venomes
.
For
which
I
aduise
all
such
as
haue
both
meanes
and
maintenance
to
get
such
a
iewel
,
to
carrie
the
same
either
in
their
mouthes
,
or
continually
about
their
neckes
,
neare
vnto
the
region
of
their
hearts
,
by
reason
of
that
excellent
propertie
which
all
Authors
by
vniforme
consent
attribute
vnto
the
same

and
in
that
Chapter
wherein
he
intreateth
of
the
pestilent
Feuer
,
saith
:
That
to
preserue
the
body
from
infection
,
it
shall
be
very
necessarie
to
clense
and
purifie
the
same
from
al
corruptions
and
superfluities
,
by
sit
purgations
,
and
to
take
away
these
oppilations
,
and
stoppings
,
which
are
the
meanes
that
naturall
heat
cannot
bee
dispersed
,
&
to
dry
the
body
from
humidities
,
and
to
maintaine
such
bodyes
as
are
drie
in
their
Estates
.
In
imitation
of
whose
opinion
and
direction
,
it
shall
be
good
to
euacuat
and
expell
those
superfluities
of
humours
,
which
abound
according
to
there
natures
,
age
,
complexion
,
vertue
,
quantitie
and
qualitie
,
who
are
forced
with
the
same
superfluous
humours
.
It
is
therefore
note
worthy
,
in
suspected
and
dangerous
times
that
no
accustomed
euacuations
either
by
fluxe
of
Hemeroides
,
or
of
the
belly
,
old
vlcers
,
menstruall
blood
,
itches
,
or
such
like
should
be
restrained
.
For
those
purgations
which
are
of
this
kinde
doo
clense
the
vnnecessary
humours
,
and
by
this
meanes
maketh
the
body
healthfull
,
whereas
such
humours
being
either
repressed
by
astringent
medecines
or
such
like
ointments
,
might
greatly
hurt
the
principall
members
,
and
produce
strange
sicknesses
in
the
same
.
And
for
this
cause
,
Galen
,
and
Hipocrates
write
:
That
it
is
a
good
signe
when
as
any
defluxion
is
expelled
,
from
the
inward
and
principall
parts
of
the
body
:
where
contrariwise
,
if
the
same
be
transported
from
the
outward
to
the
inward
parts
▪
it
is
a
most
euil
and
sinister
signe
.
For
which
cause
in
the
Plague
time
it
is
the
surest
way
,
rather
to
suffer
those
superfluities
to
haue
their
course
,
then
to
stop
or
stay
them
by
any
medecine
because
by
the
voydance
thereof
,
the
body
is
purged
from
the
same
superfluities
which
being
retained
might
wonderful
annoy
it
.
Which
counsaile
of
theirs
,
may
serue
for
an
aduertisement
to
all
those
that
shall
be
so
disposed
and
affected
in
the
time
of
the
Plague
.
It
behooueth
therefore
such
as
be
Sanguine
,
full
in
loue
,
and
youthfull
in
yeares
,
to
be
let
blood
after
a
competent
manner
,
thereby
to
diminish
their
replexion
and
aboundance
of
blood
.
Those
that
are
chollerique
,
ought
to
be
purged
with
an
infusion
of
Rubarb
;
if
they
be
wealthy
:
and
if
poore
,
with
the
Electuary
of
the
iuice
or
Roses
,
by
taking
thrée
Drammes
,
or
halfe
an
ounce
thereof
in
Sorrell
,
Endiue
,
or
Purslane
water
,
or
else
by
Diacatholium
,
Diaprunis
,
Laxatiue
,
the
sirope
of
Roses
,
Cassia
,
or
the
pilles
of
Rubarb
,
Femetorie
,
or
those
that
for
their
gentle
working
are
called
(
by
the
Phisitians
)
Aureae
.
The
Flegmatique
,
ought
to
be
purged
with
Agaric
,
Diaphenicon
,
Diacarthami
,
the
pils
Aggregatine
,
Cochiae
,
according
to
the
strength
of
their
bodyes
,
the
qualitie
of
the
humor
which
are
offensiue
▪
at
the
discreton
of
the
learned
&
experienced
Phisitians
,
by
whose
directions
and
prescriptions
such
medecines
are
to
be
ministred
,
&
not
according
to
the
custome
of
this
time
,
by
foolish
Idiotes
and
ignorant
Emperiques
.
Such
as
are
melancholy
should
be
purged
with
the
infusion
of
Sena
and
Epithemum
with
a
little
Anice
seede
,
and
Diacathelicon
,
with
the
Confection
,
Hamech
,
Diasene
,
Solutiue

pilles

and
Aureae
.
I
forbeare
to
call
the
pils
,
De
lape
Armeno
,
and
Lasuli
into
vse
,
because
they
are
too
violent
,
and
scarcely
well
prepared
.
Such
as
are
weake
and
delicate
persons
(
As
woman
with
childe
,
children
,
and
aged
people
,
)
it
shall
suffice
to
purge
them
with
an
ounce
of
Cassia
,
extracted
with
halfe
or
a
whole
dramme
of
Rubarb
,
or
two
ounces
of
Manna
,
or
thrée
ounces
of
sirope
of
Roses
,
or
with
the
sirope
of
Sucery
with
Rubarb
,
but
with
this
Prouiso
alwayes
,
that
the
direction
be
taken
from
a
learned
and
diligent
Phisitian
,
and
not
according
to
the
fancie
of
foolish
chare
women
,

.
To
those
litle
children
that
are
subiect
to
the
wormes
,
you
shal
giue
this
pouder
in
the
Plague
time
,
which
is
both
fit
to
correct
the
one
,
and
expell
the

,
the
vse
thereof
is
in

CHAP.
VI.
A
Rule
and
direction
,
whereby
,
by
Potions
,
Pils
,
Powders
,
Opiates
,
and
Losenges
(
which
are
most
fit
,
apt
,
and
conuenient
to
preserue
the
body
from
Contagion
,
)
the
Plague
may
be
preuented
.
THe
Diuine
prouidence
of
God
,
being
carefull
for
his
creatures
,
and
the
preseruation
of
mankind
,
hath
produced
many
remedies
to
represse
and
preuent
the
daungerous
insultes
and
assaults
of
the
Plague
,
or
any
other
venemous
contagion
whatsoeuer
:
(
which
remedies
our
ancient
Phisitians
haue
called
Antidotes
,
that
is
to
say
,
certaine
medecines
which
in
their
nature
and
hidden
property
inclosed
in
them
,
are
contrary
vnto
them
,
as
Galen
in
ij
.
books
of
Antidotes
hath
learnedly
declared
.
)
Of
these
remedies
I
wil
set
down
some
,
and
those
the
most
effectuall
in
this
Chapter
,
as
well
for
the
rich
as
for
the
poore
,
whose
miserie
and
distresse
we
ought
more
inwardly
to
releiue
then
the
rest
:
partly
because
God
hath
especially
enioyned
vs
no
lesse
,
partly
because
they
of
themselues
haue
no
meanes
to
succour
themselues
,
for
which
cause
we
are
in
charitie
bound
to
relieue
them
,
as
herafter
shal
be
proued
.
And
of
these
remedies
we
ought
to
vse
some
change
,
to
the
ende
,
that
nature
making
vse
of
one
of
them
do
●ot
dispise
the
vertue
thereof
,
as
Galen
writeth
in
his
fift
booke
,
de
Sanitate
Tuenda
.
The
body
therefore
being
first
of
all
well
purged
,
it
is
good
to
make
vse
of
Guidos
Electuarie
Theriacal
,
especiall
in
Winter
or
Autumne
,
namely
in
those
who
are
of
a
colde
and
moyst
complection
,
especially
where
it
may
euery
waies
be
commodiously
applyed
.
The
Apothecaries
either
haue
or
may
conueniently
haue
the
Species
therof
ready
prepared
,
of
which
a
man
may
take
a
dram
at
once
in
Buglos
,
or
Sorrel-water
,
or
in
good
White
wine
,
or
in
the
winter
time
with
Claret
wine
.
This
powder
is
very
effectuall
in
this
case
,
if
it
be
wel
and
faithfully
dispensed
,
neither
is
the
price
ouer
valued
for
the
poore
:
of
this
powder
may
you
make
vse
two
or
thrée
dayes
,
either
with
some
fit
water
,
or
else
in
the
forme
of
Losings
.
This
powder
also
which
ensueth
is
a
very
singular
remedie
,
which
in
stead
of
the
former
,
and
in
way
of
chaunge
,
you
may
vse
for
two
or
three
dayes
space
.
Take
the
rootes
of
Tormentill
,
the
rootes
of
Zedoary
,
and
Angelica
,
of
each
a
Dramme
;
Fine
Cinamon
,
yellow
Sanders
,
of
the
séedes
of
Citrons
and
Sorrell
,
of
each
a
Dramme
and
a
halfe
,
of
the
shauings
of
Iuorie
,
of
Cardus
benedictus
,
&
the
rindes
of
Citron
,
of
each
foure
scruples
,
of
bole
Armenus
prepared
two
Drammes
,
of
fine
Sugar
as
much
as
shall
suffice
:
make
thereof
a
a
very
fine
powder
,
of
which
those
that
are
strong
and
in
yeares
may
take
a
dram
,
&
the
yonger
sort
,
half
a
dram
in
Scabious
water
,
and
Sorrell
water
,
or
in
three
good
spoonefuls
of
good
White
wine
.
Galen
,
(
in
his
second
booke
of
Antidotes
)
setteth
downe
this
singular
remedie
for
the
poore
,
which
was
made
and
composed
by
Apollonius
.
Take
twentie
leaues
of
Rew
,
two
common
Nuttes
,
two
dried
and
fatte
Figges
,
a
little
Salt
,
mixe
all
together
and
take
euery
Morning
a
morsell
,
and
drinke
a
little
pure
White
wine
after
:
If
any
one
fasting
taketh
this
medecine
,
no
venome
may
hurt
him
that
day
,
as
Galen
(
according
to
Appolonius
opinion
)
testifieth
,
in
the
place
afore
alleaged
.
There
is
an
other
easie
and
excellent
medecine
which
followeth
,
the
which
King
Nicomedes
vsed
against
all
venome
and
poyson
.
Take
of
Iuniper
berryes
two
Drams
,
of
Terra
Sigillata
as
much
,
make
hereof
a
powder
,
&
incorporate
the
same
with
good
Honie
,
and
reduce
it
to
the
forme
of
an
Opiate
,
of
which
a
man
may
take
a
bole
or
bit
to
the
valew
of
ij
.
drams
for
the
rich
,
&
for
the
poore
,
in
stead
of
Terra
Sigillata
,
you
may
vse
as
much
bole
Armenus
prepared
.
This
remedy
is
set
down
by
Galen
,
in
the
foresaid
place
,
&
is
of
great
efficacy
.
The
Electuary
de
bolo
Armeno
,
also
is
commonly
vsed
,
&
hath
no
vnpleasant
taste
therwith
.
The
Pilles
of
Rufus
also
are
an
excellent
preseruatiue
against
the
Plague
,
which
are
made
after
this
manner
following
:
Take
Aloes
and
Armoniack
of
each
two
drammes
,
and
make
a
composition
thereof
with
white
Wine
and
vse
the
same
,
for
they
are
of
Paulus
Aeginetas
description
:
but
if
you
wil
more
properly
dispence
the
same
,
leaue
out
the
Armoniac
,
and
in
stead
thereof
,
put
therto
a
litle
Saffron
,
according
to
the
forme
which
ensueth
,
and
you
shall
make
a
most
excellent
medicine
to
this
effect
.
Take
of
Aloes
washed
in
Rose
water
,
one
ounce
of
Mirrh
and
Saffron
,
of
each
two
drammes
,
of
Bole
Armenus
two
drammes
,
make
Pilles
thereof
with
white
Wine
,
or
the
iuice
of
Limons
in
Sommer
.
Of
this
composition
you
may
forme
fiue
Pilles
for
a
dramme
,
and
take
them
euery
morning
.
An other
preseruatiue
,
and
very
profitable
for
the
poore
,
is
this
that
followeth
.
Take
one
or
two
handfuls
of
Sorrell
,
stéepe
them
in
a
Uioll
in
good
Rose-Wine
Uinegar
,
and
kéepe
it
close
stopped
,
and
in
the
morning
when
you
rise
,
take
thrée
of
foure
leaues
of
the
Sorrell
thus
stéeped
,
and
eate
the
same
,
for
it
is
a
profitable
medicine
:
the
reason
is
,
because
Sorrell
by
his
vertue
represseth
the
heate
of
the
blood
,
and
resisteth
against
all
putrifaction
.
And
if
you
drinke
a
spoonefull
or
two
of
the
saide
Uineger
in
the
morning
:
Or
stéepe
a
toste
of
white
bread
in
the
same
,
and
ouerspread
it
with
Sugar
,
it
is
both
comfortable
and
wholesome
at
all
times
:
Some
there
are
that
vse
the
leaues
of
Rew
after
the
same
sort
,
but
this
memedicine
is
not
allowable
but
in
the
cold
time
of
the
yeare
,
and
in
such
bodies
as
are
cold
and
phlegmatique
by
reason
of
the
heate
thereof
,
Iuniper
berries
also
being
stéeped
in
Rose
Uineger
and
taken
in
the
morning
,
as
wonderfully
profitable
to
that
ef●●ct
.
These
remedies
which
ensue
are

is
not

:
Treacle

But
those

for

space
of
sixe
houres
after

and
to
suppe
little
or
nothing
at
all
the
day

:
for
otherwise
the
saide
medicines
takes
no

.
See
here
the
most
soueraigne
and
exquisite
remedies
that
may
be
found
to
preserue
those
that
are
in
health
,
as
well
the
rich
as
the
poore
in
this
contagious
time
,
which
interchangeably
vpon
all
opportunities
a
man
may
vse
.
But
aboue
all
things
it
is
behoueful
to
kéepe
a
good
diet
&
order
euery
waies
,
and
to
sée
the
body
be
soluble
,
for
that
it
is
one
of
the
most
principall
points
to
preserue
&
continue
the
body
in
health
.
But
amongst
those
things
that
are
most
necessary
&
requisit
towards
the
continuance
and
preseruation
of
health
,
and
auoydance
of
contagion
,
nothing
is
more
to
be
respected
then
sobrietie
and
an
orderly
course
of
life
:
for
continence
is
the
mother
&
fostresse
of
all
good
disposition
in
mans
body
,
by
reason
that
by
sobrietie
the
health
is
confirmed
and
continued
in
his
estate
;
the
humors
are
well
tempered
,
and
naturall
heate
fortified
,
the
naturall
passages
of
the
body
entertained
in
their
due
harmony
,
the
operations
of
nature
euery
one
in
themselues
well
and
duly
accomplished
:
and
by
these
reasons
sobrietie
is
the
foundation
to
warrantise
the
body
from
all
euils
:
as
contrariwise
,
intemperance
is
the
source
and
and
originall
of
all
mishap
and
fatall
infirmitie
.
All
which
is
confirmed
by
Hypocrates
and
Galen
,
in
the
second
booke
Of
the
Aphorismes
:
Aphorisme
,
17.
and
Hipocrates
himselfe
in
the
sixt
of
his
Epidemies
,
where
he
saith
,
That
the
chiefest
care
that
is
to
be
had
for
to
continue
health
,
consisteth
principally
in
this
:
to
liue
soberly
,
to
vse
conuenient
exercise
,
and
not
to
gorge
a
mans
self
with
surfets
.
The
like
also
is
confirmed
by
Galen
and
Plutarch
,
in
their
writings
and
Bookes
,
De
Sanitate
Tuenda
,
wherein
the
error
&
folly
of
the
common
sort
appeareth
most
manifestly
,
who
dare
in
the
time
of
infection
and
pestilence
,
to
ouercharge
themselues
with
wine
,
and
fill
their
stomackes
in
the
morning
before
they
goe
out
of
doores
,
thinking
by
this
time
to
coniure
the
time
,
(
according
to
their
lewd
discourse
)
and
abate
the
euill
vapour
of
the
ayre
,
whereas
in
effect
,
they
effect
nothing
but
the
contrarie
.
For
wine
being
taken
fasting
,
maketh
the
body
more
apt
to
conceiue
infection
through
the
heate
thereof
,
and
the
piercing
qualitie
and
opening
it
,
causeth
in
the
parts
&
vessels
of
the
body
,
namely
the
vaines
and
arteries
,
making
them
by
these
meanes
more
capable
to
receiue
the
euill
influence
of
the
ayre
,
if
any
raigne
at
that
time
.
Let
therefore
all
men
be
curious
to
obserue
this
commendable
sobriety
,
if
they
be
desirous
to
auoyd
the
dangers
of
the
Plague
,
by
forbearing
al
diuersities
of
meats
,
and
surceasing
to
fil
their
stomackes
with
vnmeasurable
repastes
,
and
let
them
féede
soberly
,
and
no
more
then
is
néedfull
to
sustaine
life
,
obseruing
a
temperate
exercise
in
pleasant
and
delightfull
places
.
Let
them
leade
their
life
in
peace
,
and
quiet
of
minde
,
in
ioy
,
disport
and
honest
pleasure
,
auoyding
all
perturbations
of
the
spirit
,
and
especially
sadnesse
,
melancholy
,
wrath
,
feare
,
and
suspect
,
which
are
the
most
daungerous
accedents
that
may
encounter
a
man
in
such
like
times
:
as
Galen
in
his
Booke
,
(
Of
the
Art
of
Medecine
)

CHAP.

A
briefe
Methode
and
rule
of
life
,
how
to
preserue
the
healthfull
in
the
time
of
sicknesse
.
THE
Principall
meanes
to
continue
a
man
in
health
,
consisteth
in
an
orderly
obseruation
of
diet
,
elections
of
meate
,
measure
and
opportunitie
in
receiuing
the
same
,
and
in
the
quantitie
and
qualitie
thereof
,
(
which
shall
be
the
argument
of
this
present
Chapter
.
)
It
is
therefore
especially
to
be
considered
and
prouided
,
in
this
cause
,
that
the
body
abound
not
in
superfluities
and
excrements
,
which
may
yéelde
matter
and
foode
to
putrifaction
and
contagion
in
humours
,
which
may
no
better
wayes
bée
performed
,
but
by
a
good
regiment
in
life
.
Men
that
are
curious
of
their
health
,
will
take
héede
of
all
immoderate
repletion
of
meates
,
and
in
suspected
times
diuersitie
of
meates
is
to
bee
eschewed
,
leaste
the
stomacke
should
bee
ouercharged
thereby
,
by
which
meanes
diuersities
of
humours
may
be
ingendred
;
but
it
behooueth
a
man
to
féede
of
one
only
dishe
or
two
,
that
in
qualitie
and
nourishment
may
be
conformable
to
his
nature
.
He
ought
likewise
to
beware
in
these
times
of
such
meats
as
may
easily
putrifie
in
the
stomack
,
such
as
yéeld
but
grosse
nourishment
,
and
bréed
oppilation
and
obstruction
that
heate
the
blood
and
humours
,
and
make
them
vicious
and
sharpe
.
Of
this
sort
are
salt
meates
,
Porke
,
Béefe
,
Scalions
,
Colewortes
,
Garlike
,
Onions
,
Spice
,
Mustard
,
old
Chéese
,
such
▪
Fish
as
are
caught
in
standing
Pooles
and
Marshes
:
strong
,
hote
,
hie
and
troubled
wines
.
Such
meates
as
are
conuenient
,
are
of
delicate
flesh
and
easily
digested
,
as
Capon
,
Chickens
,
yong
Pullets
,
the
broth
whereof
doth
rectifie
and
temper
the
humours
of
the
body
,
as
Mesue
testifieth
.
Also
the
flesh
of
Ueale
,
Kid
,
or
yong
Mutton
are
allowed
,
and
the
birds
of
the
field
,
such
as
are
Partridges
,
yong
Pigeons
,
Turtells
and
such
like
are
to
be
admitted
.
And
in
the
broth
of
such
like
things
,
you
ought
to
séeth
Sorrel
,
Purslane
,
Borage
,
and
Marigoldes
,
which
according
to
Alexander
Benedictus
,
in
his
Treatise
of
the
Plague
,
is
an
excellent
medecine
.
The
iuice
of
Sorrell
likewise
and
sowre
Grapes
are
allowed
,
and
Oranges
,
and
Limons
with
Sugar
are
not
amisse
,
in
the
iuice
whereof
you
may
dip
your
meat
or
bread
at
your
meales
,
and
such
like
.
Rose
vineger
in
this
time
is
commended
.
As
for
all
bakt
meats
(
as
Pasties
or
such
like
are
forbidden
,
)
both
for
the
gluttonous
substance
that
is
in
them
,
as
for
that
they
engender
obstructions
.
Fresh
and
reare
Eegges
sod
in
water
are
of
good
nourishment
,
Sea
fish
,
as
the
Soale
,
the
Mullet
,
Gurnard
and
such
like
may
be
admitted
,
yet
ought
they
not
too
oftentimes
bée
vsed
by
reason
they
bréed
humidite
and
waterish
blood
.
Amidst
the
sowrer
fruite
,
the
Proyne
,
Straberries
,
and
muscadine
Peare
are
to
be
eaten
,
so
they
be
taken
in
a
little
quantitie
,
as
for
al
other
fruit
they
may
wel
be
omitted
,
because
they
fill
the
vaines
with
watrish
blood
,
and
such
as
easily
corrupteth
,
except
the
Raison
which
is
very
good
.
In
vse
of
wine
,
Claret
and
white
(
not
fuming
nor
ouer
hye
coloured
,
but
tempered
with
good
water
)
are
very
fit
to
be
drunke
at
meales
and
no
otherwise
.
For
exercise
,
it
ought
to
be
conuenient
and
temperate
accustomed
in
the
morning
in
places
delightfull
and
pleasant
,
in
the
shade
in
Summer-time
:
in
Winter-time
in
the
Sunne
.
Touching
apparell
,
each
one
ought
to
vse
decencie
and
comelinesse
therein
,
and
oftentimes
to
shift
both
woollen
and
linnen
,
especially
in
Summer
,
in
which
time
if
those
that
are
of
ability
shift
once
a
day
it
is
not
amisse
.
Care
likewise
is
to
be
had
,
that
men
heat
not
their
blood
by
violent
trauell
,
but
to
vse
a
conuenient
rest
after
their
repasts
.
It
is
behooueful
likewise
(
as
hath
béen
said
)
to
kéepe
the
body
soluble
,
so
as
once
a
day
or
twise
in
21.
houres
,
either
by
the
benefite
of
nature
or
the
vse
of
the
pilles
aboue
mentioned
the
belly
may
be
loosned
,
&
the
body
no
wayes
suffered
to
be
bound
.
Especially
in
those
times
al
vse
of
women
is
forbidden
.
For
there
is
not
any
thing
during
this
contagious
season
more
forcible
to
enféeble
nature
,
then
such
vnbridled
desires
which
stirre
and
distemper
the
humors
and
dispose
the
body
to
receiue
infection
.
Briefly
,
to
liue
in
repose
of
spirit
,
in
al
ioy
,
pleasure
,
sport
&
contentation
amongst
a
mans
friendes
,
comforteth
heart
and
vitall
spirits
,
and
is
in
this
time
more
requisite
then
any
other
things
.
This
is
the
order
and
maner
which
euery
one
ought
to
obserue
,
in
his
manner
of
life
in
these
suspected
times
,
with
this
finall
Prouiso
,
that
the
houses
be
kept
cleane
and
well
ayred
,
and
be
perfumed
with
water
and
vinegar
in
Summer
time
,
and
in
winter
time
with
perfumes
,
of
Iuniper
,
Rosemarie
,
Storax
,
Beniamin
,
and
such
like
.
That
the
windowes
thereof
be
kept
open
to
the
East
,
towards
the
shining
Sunne
and
the
Northren
winde
,
shutting
out
all
Southerly
windes
,
and
such
as
blow
from
contagious
places
.
The
order
and
policy
that
ought
to
be
held
in
a
City
,
during
the
plague
time
,
and
wherin
the
Lord
Mayor
and
Sherifs
,
and
such
as
vnder
them
haue
care
of
the
infected
,
ought
to
shew
their
diligence
in
the
maintenance
and
order
of
their
cittizens
.
Chap.
VIII
.
AS
order
conducted
by
good
aduice
and
counsaile
,
is
in
all
things
,
that
concerne
the
administration
of
a
Commonweale
most
necessary
,
so
in
this
cause
,
(
which
is
one
of
the
most
vrgent
)
order
,
policy
and
serious
diligence
,
is
not
onely
profitable
,
but
also
necessary
;
because
the
sicknes
of
the
plague
&
contagion
inuading
a
city
,
is
the
totall
ruine
of
the
same
by
reason
of
the
danger
and
spoile
of
the
cittizens
,
as
we
reade
in
Thucidides
of
the
great
plague
in
Greece
,
which
for
the
most
part
rauished
the
inhabitants
of
the
same
,
and
in
Titus
Liuius
,
of
diuers
horrible
pestilences
that
happened
in
Rome
,
which
by
their
greatnesse
and
cruelty
made
that
mother
Citty
almost
desolate
and
destitute
of
the
better
part
of
the
cittizens
thereof
,
bringing
with
it
both
famine
and
fatal
indigence
.
For
which
cause
such
as
are
in
authoritie
in
Citties
,
as
Mayors
,
Sherifes
,
and
those
that
haue
the
charge
to
ouersée
the
sicke
,
ought
aboue
all
things
to
procure
that
their
Citty
remaine
in
health
,
to
the
end
that
their
cittizens
remaining
in
security
,
may
communicate
the
one
with
the
other
by
traffike
and
following
their
businesse
,
whereby
there
redoundeth
a
common
profite
and
vtilitie
to
all
:
whereas
on
the
contrary
side
(
their
City
being
infected
by
a
popular
and
pernicious
disease
,
)
their
traffike
ceaseth
,
and
that
which
is
most
dangerous
and
important
of
all
,
the
life
and
health
of
all
men
is
brought
in
danger
.
Now
to
withstand
this
inconuenience
with
prudence
and
foresight
,
it
behooueth
the
Magistrates
,
first
of
all
diligently
to
examine
what
places
,
either
néere
or
remote
,
are
visited
or
infected
,
to
the
end
to
warrantize
themselues
from
that
infection
,
not
suffering
any
of
those
to
enter
their
Citty
that
come
from
such
places
as
are
suspected
,
except
they
be
men
of
note
,
of
whose
prudence
and
securitie
they
may
be
assured
.
For
it
is
not
alwayes
a
consequent
,
that
all
the
inhabitants
of
a
Citty
are
alwayes
infected
,
especially
when
they
are
men
of
respect
,
who
haue
the
meanes
,
and
obserue
the
methode
to
preserue
themselues
:
whereof
it
is
very
necessary
that
the
gouernours
,
and
such
as
haue
the
kéeping
of
the
gates
,
should
haue
respect
:
but
for
such
as
are
vagabonds
,
masterlesse
men
,
and
of
seruile
and
base
condition
,
for
such
I
say
,
they
ought
not
to
be
admitted
.
And
if
by
chance
,
or
by
the
will
of
God
the
Citty
becommeth
infected
,
it
ought
not
incontinently
to
be
made
knowne
:
but
those
that
haue
the
care
and
charge
of
such
as
are
attainted
,
ought
in
the
beginning
to
kéepe
it
close
,
and
wisely
conceale
the
same
from
the
common
sorte
,
imparting
it
onely
to
such
,
who
by
their
good
aduise
and
counsaile
may
assist
them
in
the
time
of
danger
,
which
counsaile
and
aduice
diuine
Hipocrates
setteth
downe
in
his
oath
and
attestation
to
Phisitians
,
and
consequently
to
all
those
that
haue
the
charge
of
the
sicke
,
forbidding
them
to
reueale
that
which
ought
to
be
hidden
for
the
common
profit
:
which
being
considered
by
the
diuine
Philosopher
Plato
,
in
the
third
booke
of
his
common
weale
,
he
auoweth
that
it
is
lawfull
for
Magistrates
&
Phisitians
to
lie
for
the
safety
and
conuersation
of
their
Citty
.
For
oftentimes
to
conceale
a
truth
to
this
intent
,
is
no
error
in
such
men
,
whenas
by
such
means
the
common
weale
is
conserued
and
profited
:
which
counsaile
I
thoght
good
to
make
knowne
to
you
,
to
th
end
I
might
restraine
the
superstitious
fantasies
of
some
men
,
who
are
of
the
opinion
,
that
nothing
ought
to
be
concealed
in
these
times
,
but
made
knowne
vnto
all
men
,
for
feare
their
reputation
shuld
be
touched
,
and
themselues
estéemed
liers
.
The
magistrates
in
these
times
ought
to
commit
the
charge
of
their
gates
to
good
and
discréet
citizens
,
on
whose
trust
and
fidelitie
the
Citty
may
relie
:
and
therefore
the
best
citizens
both
in
place
and
reputation
ought
to
haue
this
place
,
and
not
they
,
who
are
yong
,
indiscréet
&
inconsiderate
.
Which
thing
hath
beene
wisely
noted
by
the
diuine
Philosopher
Plato
in
the
third
booke
of
his
common
weale
,
where
hée
saith
,
that
he
that
hath
the
charge
of
a
citty
,
ought
to
be
strong
in
person
and
prowesse
,
and
a
Philosopher
in
his
spirit
,
that
is
to
say
,
sage
,
prudent
,
and
well
aduised
.
For
by
such
a
gouernour
and
so
well
qualified
,
there
redoundeth
a
great
profite
vnto
all
men
,
where
to
one
of
the
contrary
disposition
all
things
fall
out
frowardly
.
Moreouer
the
Magistrates
ought
to
haue
an
especiall
care
,
that
their
city
be
kept
cleane
&
neat
from
al
filth
,
dunghils
and
stinking
rubbige
that
may
bréed
infection
,
because
the
steame
of
such
vncleane
heaps
and
places
being
drawne
vp
into
the
aire
,
do
for
the
most
part
infect
and
contaminate
the
same
.
And
to
this
effect
Hipocrates
counsaileth
vs
to
vse
the
aire
in
these
times
,
which
is
most
pure
and
cléere
,
and
to
flie
the
contrary
.
The
like
confirmeth
Galen
in
his
first
Booke
,
de
Sanitate
tuenda
,
and
in
his
Commentaries
on
Hipocrates
booke
,
de
Natura
humana
.
And
therefore
the
Magistrate
ought
to
giue
charge
,
that
in
euery
place
the
streets
should
be
kept
cleane
,
and
daily
purged
,
forbidding
euery
one
vnder
a
penalty
to
cast
out
any
vncleanenesse
or
filth
out
of
their
dores
.
They
ought
also
to
take
order
,
that
the
slaughter
houses
(
for
the
prouision
of
the
citty
)
be
not
continued
and
vsed
within
the
citty
,
but
placed
in
some
remote
and
conuenient
place
néere
vnto
the
riuer
of
the
Thames
,
to
the
end
that
the
bloud
and
garbige
of
the
beasts
that
are
killed
may
be
washed
away
with
the
tide
.
This
aduice
the
nobles
of
Arles
obserued
by
Valenolaes
aduise
,
to
the
great
good
of
their
common-weale
,
who
to
the
westward
of
the
city
vpon
the
riuer
of
Roane
haue
builded
their
slaughter-houses
.
It
is
no
lesse
necessary
also
to
take
note
of
such
sicke
folkes
as
resort
vnto
the
city
,
and
to
know
with
what
sicknes
they
be
seazd
with
,
&
whether
it
be
dangerous
or
no.
For
which
cause
it
is
requisite
to
appoint
certaine
discréet
and
skilful
men
in
euery
quarter
and
parish
within
the
citty
,
who
may
haue
the
charge
to
take
particular
notice
of
euery
housholder
,
in
what
estate
their
family
is
,
or
rather
to
visite
them
themselues
,
and
if
they
finde
any
sicke
in
these
houses
,
to
make
a
true
report
vnto
those
that
haue
the
charge
and
ouerlooking
the
sicke
,
to
the
end
they
may
cause
them
to
be
visited
by
expert
Phisitians
,
who
may
informe
whether
the
disease
be
infectious
or
no
,
to
the
end
they
may
be
attended
and
cured
according
as
their
disease
requireth
.
And
for
that
in
all
suspected
citties
,
it
is
a
common
custome
for
the
Magistrate
to
shut
vp
those
that
are
surprised
with
the
sickenesse
,
or
to
send
them
to
the
hospitalls
or
pesthouse
,
for
feare
lest
by
conuersing
with
the
healthy
they
should
spred
the
contagion
by
breathing
on
them
and
touching
them
:
because
,
as
Galen
saith
,
it
is
dangerous
to
conuerse
with
them
,
and
God
himselfe
also
giueth
an
expresse
commandement
in
Leuiticus
chap.
13.
and
Numb
.
chap.
5.
where
speaking
of
the
leapers
,
he
commandeth
that
they
should
be
seperated
from
the
host
and
company
of
the
healthy
.
Me
thinkes
it
is
very
necessary
at
this
time
to
speake
somewhat
hereof
,
and
to
examine
euery
circumstance
,
to
the
end
that
it
may
be
knowne
what
is
to
be
done
in
this
case
.
Now
the
truth
is
,
that
our
duty
commandeth
vs
to
seperate
such
as
are
sicke
from
the
whole
,
for
feare
lest
they
should
be
infected
with
their
disease
,
neuerthelesse
in
this
case
we
ought
not
to
vse
such
seperation
before
it
be
truely
knowne
to
be
that
disease
,
and
that
the
sickenesse
is
of
the
quality
,
that
it
deserue
shutting
vp
.
For
in
truth
it
is
a
great
amazement
,
and
no
lesse
horror
to
seperate
the
Child
from
the
Father
and
Mother
;
the
Husband
from
his
Wife
;
the
Wife
from
her
Husband
;
and
the
Confederate
and
Friend
from
his
Adherent
and
Friend
:
and
to
speake
my
conscience
in
this
matter
,
this
course
ought
not
to
be
kept
,
before
that
by
the
iudgement
of
a
learned
Phisition
the
sickenesse
bee
resolued
on
:
And
when
it
shal
be
found
it
is
infectious
,
yet
it
is
very
néedefull
to
vse
humanitie
towards
such
as
are
seazed
.
And
if
their
parents
or
friends
haue
the
meanes
to
succour
them
,
and
that
fréely
,
and
with
a
good
heart
,
they
are
willing
to
doe
the
same
,
those
that
haue
the
charge
to
carry
them
to
the
Pest-house
,
ought
to
suffer
them
to
vse
that
office
of
charitie
towards
their
sicke
,
yet
with
this
condition
,
that
they
kéepe
them
apart
,
and
suffer
them
not
to
frequent
and
conuerse
with
such
as
are
in
health
.
For
,
to
speake
the
truth
,
one
of
the
chiefest
occasions
of
the
death
of
such
sicke
folkes
(
besides
the
danger
of
their
disease
)
is
the
fright
and
feare
they
conceiue
when
they
sée
themselues
voyde
of
all
succour
,
and
as
it
were
rauished
out
of
the
hands
of
their
parents
and
friends
,
and
committed
to
the
trust
of
strangers
,
who
very
often
are
but
slenderly
and
coldly
inclined
to
their
good
,
wanting
both
seruice
and
succour
.
And
therfore
in
this
cause
men
ought
to
procéed
very
discréetly
and
modestly
.
And
in
regard
of
the
time
wherein
the
suspected
and
sicke
,
or
rather
those
who
frequented
and
serued
them
,
there
ought
some
rule
and
moderation
to
be
held
.
For
wheras
by
ancient
custome
and
obseruation
they
are
wont
to
haue
the
prefixed
terme
of
fortie
dayes
giuen
them
,
yet
ought
not
this
terme
,
equally
and
rigorously
be
obserued
in
all
.
To
those
that
are
sicke
of
the
plague
this
limitation
of
time
ought
to
be
prefixed
and
furthered
for
more
assurance
;
besides
the
forty
dayes
,
they
ought
ouer
and
aboue
remaine
inclosed
twenty
dayes
,
which
are
in
all
sixty
,
before
they
be
suffred
to
returne
to
their
houses
,
or
frequent
the
company
of
their
fellow
Citizens
.
Before
which
time
they
that
are
infected
,
after
their
recouery
ought
to
change
the
place
where
they
haue
béene
sicke
:
and
to
take
the
ayre
in
a
more
healthful
place
,
farre
distant
from
infection
,
and
change
their
garments
,
and
put
off
their
olde
,
or
rather
burne
them
,
for
feare
they
should
infect
those
that
might
happen
to
put
them
on
.
For
in
truth
,
the
keeping
of
such
things
is
very
dangerous
,
and
whereas
after
the
plague
is
ceased
,
it
oftentimes
without
any
manifest
occasion
beginneth
anew
,
it
oftentimes
procéedeth
from
such
like
accidents
:
In
preuention
whereof
the
Magistrate
ought
to
haue
no
little
care
and
diligence
.
Heeretofore
haue
wee
set
down
what
terme
should
be
prefixed
to
the
sicke
;
it
now
likewise
concerneth
vs
to
prescribe
a
time
and
terme
to
those
that
haue
had
the
kéeping
of
them
,
for
both
publike
and
priuate
securitie
,
wherein
in
my
iudgement
(
which
I
submit
to
those
of
more
reuerend
authoritie
)
wee
ought
to
obserue
other
rules
following
.
If
the
sicke
be
dead
in
his
house
,
and
hath
continued
all
the
time
of
his
sickenesse
in
that
place
,
and
his
parents
and
friends
cohabitants
with
him
,
haue
continualy
assisted
him
and
ministred
vnto
him
,
they
ought
to
remaine
inclosed
the
saide
terme
of
fortie
daies
,
or
else
transport
themselues
to
their
country
houses
,
if
they
haue
any
,
or
to
liue
apart
&
seperated
from
others
in
their
garden
houses
,
and
not
to
frequent
amongst
the
people
,
during
that
time
.
If
the
sicke
hath
remained
in
his
house
but
two
or
thrée
dayes
,
and
hath
had
but
small
accesse
vnto
him
,
and
the
assistants
that
were
with
him
,
be
men
of
discretion
,
knowing
wel
how
to
defend
and
preserue
themselues
by
good
remedies
and
dyet
,
being
men
of
respect
&
marke
,
they
ought
not
to
be
shut
vp
so
long
time
;
but
it
shal
suffice
in
this
case
to
kéep
them
close
some
twenty
or
foure
and
twentie
dayes
,
or
somewhat
longer
.
For
in
that
space
by
naturall
reason
,
the
venome
ought
to
haue
wrought
his
worst
,
if
any
of
the
assistants
hath
béene
seazed
therewith
:
Likewise
,
if
they
haue
béene
well
purged
,
and
haue
taken
remedies
to
preserue
themselues
in
that
time
.
For
in
truth
,
if
a
vapour
or
contagion
be
in
the
body
,
it
cannot
so
long
time
remaine
inclosed
,
but
that
in
fortie
dayes
space
it
will
shew
it selfe
.
And
if
in
the
space
of
xxi
.
dayes
it
discouereth
not
it selfe
(
as
nature
molested
with
any
vehement
sickenesse
or
contagious
infirmitie
is
accustomed
to
fulfill
and
execute
his
forces
and
expulsion
to
driue
out
the
same
(
as
Galen
declareth
in
his
booke
de
diebus
Cicitis
)
it
will
hardly
shew
it selfe
in
any
time
after
the
xxi
.
day
,
for
that
the
venom
hath
already
lost
his
force
,
and
nature
maketh
no
more
account
to
expel
the
same
,
but
euaporeth
it
insensibly
without
any
hurt
,
if
there
hath
not
some
new
occasion
beene
offered
that
causeth
such
an
accident
,
as
it
oftentimes
happeneth
.
If
any
one
vnwittingly
hapneth
to
visit
one
that
is
sicke
in
his
house
,
and
that
but
once
or
twice
,
we
ought
not
to
prefixe
him
that
terme
,
but
to
suffer
him
to
kéepe
himselfe
close
some
fourtéene
dayes
or
more
,
prouided
that
hée
obserue
a
good
diet
:
And
to
speake
my
absolute
opinion
what
ought
to
be
done
in
this
case
of
kéeping
the
sicke
and
their
assistants
inclosed
in
the
plague
time
,
it
is
necessary
to
resolue
vpon
the
effects
and
accidents
,
which
apparantly
happen
in
the
saide
houses
,
and
according
to
the
rule
obserued
by
those
that
are
shutte
vp
,
as
also
according
to
their
qualitie
and
condition
,
and
especially
,
wée
ought
to
haue
regard
,
and
rely
on
the
iudgement
of
a
faithfull
and
learned
Phisition
,
who
according
to
his
Art
,
and
the
effects
that
he
shal
discouer
in
those
that
are
inclosed
,
may
yéelde
an
assured
iudgement
of
the
matter
,
to
whom
we
ought
to
giue
credit
,
as
to
him
that
is
the
fittest
and
truest
iudge
in
such
a
matter
.
For
in
truth
this
custome
hath
béene
but
newly
brought
in
,
and
was
neuer
heard
of
in
the
ancient
and
autentike
writings
,
eyther
of
Greek
,
Arabian
,
or
Latin
phisitions
,
but
only
by
some
late
Practitioners
as
Guainerius
&
some
other
which
Guainerius
in
his
Treatise
of
the
Plague
,
Chap.
3.
de
tertia
differentia
hath
set
downe
this
terme
of
forty
daies
,
speaking
of
the
terme
wherein
a
man
ought
to
returne
into
the
house
of
him
that
is
infected
.
And
in
his
opinion
(
which
is
not
answerable
to
truth
)
he
prefixeth
three
moneths
.
For
if
the
infected
house
shal
be
cleansed
from
all
infection
,
and
perfumed
and
ayred
by
those
that
haue
the
charge
,
a
man
may
returne
into
it
after
forty
dayes
,
prouided
,
there
remaine
nothing
in
the
saide
house
that
is
infected
or
contagious
,
as
the
garments
,
shéets
,
beds
,
couerlets
,
or
such
like
of
the
diseased
.
For
such
things
as
these
kéep
the
infection
inclosed
in
them
long
time
,
especially
fetherbeds
,
as
Alexander
Benedictus
testifieth
in
his
booke
of
the
Plague
,
where
he
maketh
mention
of
a
featherbed
of
one
that
was
sicke
of
the
plague
in
Venice
,
which
kept
the
venome
seauen
yeares
,
&
the
first
that
slept
vpon
the
same
at
the
end
of
the
same
terme
were
sodainly
surprised
with
the
plague
,
as
he
reciteth
in
the
third
Chapter
of
his
Booke
.
Loe
héere
,
what
I
haue
thought
requisite
to
be
spoken
touching
the
sayd
terme
▪
neuerthelesse
I
submit
my
iudgement
to
those
that
are
more
learned
,
to
whose
mature
resolution
I
shal
subscribe
when
with
better
&
more
substantial
reasons
they
shall
reprooue
me
.
Which
purpose
of
mine
,
euery
true
louer
of
learning
ought
to
follow
,
as
for
that
I
haue
said
it
is
but
onely
my
opinion
,
set
downe
to
aduise
the
ignorant
,
and
to
be
censured
by
the
learned
.
The
gouernors
also
ought
to
be
carefull
of
those
,
whom
in
this
sort
,
and
for
this
cause
they
haue
shut
vp
or
sent
vnto
their
Pest-house
,
foreséeing
that
they
want
nothing
of
that
which
appertaineth
to
their
health
.
And
if
those
that
are
sicke
be
poore
and
indigent
,
let
them
be
supplied
by
the
charity
and
liberality
of
the
citty
.
And
if
they
be
rich
and
by
reason
of
infection
shut
vp
,
they
ought
to
be
supplied
with
al
things
necessary
till
such
time
,
as
being
at
liberty
they
may
make
recompence
for
that
they
haue
receiued
.
Chap.
IX
.
Of
the
building
of
an
Hospitall
for
the
Plague
.
THat
which
is
most
necessary
in
great
Citties
,
is
to
haue
a
certaine
selected
place
,
whither
they
may
conuey
the
sicke
men
in
time
of
the
plague
,
when
God
inflicteth
sickenesse
vpon
them
.
And
therefore
it
concerneth
a
weale
publike
before
necessitie
happen
,
to
prouide
a
house
to
this
purpose
answerable
to
the
charitable
intent
of
those
good
men
,
who
haue
already
contributed
to
the
same
.
The
forme
wherof
,
since
as
yet
I
perceiue
it
vnfinished
,
should
(
in
my
opinion
)
be
after
this
manner
:
It
ought
to
be
scituate
,
(
as
already
it
is
begunne
)
without
the
Citty
in
a
seperate
and
vnfrequented
place
,
and
not
so
néere
the
high
wayes
or
walkes
of
the
Citizens
as
it
is
,
for
feare
lest
the
Passengers
should
be
infected
.
It
ought
also
to
be
builded
very
amply
and
largely
,
that
it
may
be
able
to
receiue
the
number
of
the
sicke
,
the
aspect
thereof
ought
to
be
betwéen
the
orient
equinoctiall
and
the
north
,
to
the
intent
that
the
heate
of
the
midday
warme
it
not
too
much
,
and
that
in
summer
it
may
haue
competent
fresh
ayre
:
which
it
will
haue
if
it
be
thus
builded
:
for
it
highly
concerneth
that
such
a
house
should
receiue
the
northerne
winde
,
for
that
it
is
the
most
dry
,
and
healthfull
,
and
such
a
winde
as
purgeth
and
driueth
away
all
euill
vapors
and
infection
,
because
the
ayre
thereof
is
colde
and
drie
,
which
consumeth
the
superfluities
of
the
body
,
as
Galen
and
Hippocrates
testifie
in
the
third
booke
of
the
Aphorismes
,
and
Hippocrates
himselfe
in
diuers
places
witnesseth
.
The
like
also
doth
Auicen
auerre
at
large
,
where
hée
speaketh
of
the
north
winde
,
to
which
he
attributeth
this
property
,
to
correct
all
pestilentiall
and
corrupted
ayre
.
And
therefore
it
is
necessary
that
the
aspect
thereof
should
be
after
this
maner
:
It
ought
also
to
be
more
long
than
large
,
to
the
intent
the
vpper
story
may
containe
eight
and
twenty
or
thirty
chambers
aboue
,
and
as
many
beneathe
.
For
in
regarde
of
the
multitude
of
the
sicke
that
are
likely
to
bée
brought
thither
,
there
ought
to
be
many
lodgings
,
and
so
many
,
if
not
more
.
These
Chambers
ought
to
be
seperated
the
one
from
the
other
,
and
yet
adioyne
one
an
other
after
the
manner
of
the
Dortuaries
in
Religions
houses
.
Each
of
these
ought
to
haue
a
chimney
,
and
be
so
disposed
,
that
they
may
receiue
lights
from
the
East
and
the
North.
In
each
of
these
chambers
there
ought
to
be
two
beds
,
that
the
sicke
may
change
from
the
one
to
the
other
vpon
oportunitie
.
The
scituation
and
place
of
the
Hospitall
ought
to
be
in
a
pure
aire
,
and
in
no
place
that
abutteth
on
donghils
:
it
ought
likewise
to
haue
many
springs
deriued
into
the
same
,
that
the
ministers
that
attend
the
same
,
may
the
better
cleanse
their
cloathes
and
houses
:
The
Chambers
of
the
Phisition
,
Surgeon
,
and
Minister
appoynted
to
attend
the
sicke
,
ought
to
be
builded
apart
from
the
sickmens
lodgings
:
and
likewise
the
Apothecarie
,
who
must
haue
his
shop
furnished
apart
with
all
necessaries
at
the
Cities
charge
,
which
custome
in
all
well
policied
Citties
is
obserued
.
It
behooueth
also
that
all
the
doores
of
the
Chambers
open
into
some
Gallery
,
where
in
the
sicke
may
take
ayre
for
their
recreation
,
and
beate
their
cloathes
and
bedding
,
when
néede
requireth
:
some
fifty
foote
aparte
from
that
Hospitall
,
an
other
body
of
building
should
be
made
,
wherein
they
that
are
recouered
may
make
their
probations
.
It
is
also
requisite
that
a
Chapell
be
builded
somewhat
seperated
from
the
body
,
&
after
such
a
manner
,
that
the
diseased
may
heare
their
Preacher
,
and
assist
him
in
his
deuotions
.
This
is
the
order
I
thought
méete
to
aduise
in
the
building
of
a
Pest-house
,
which
by
the
particular
liberality
and
faithfull
performance
of
the
deceaseds
will
,
may
be
builded
and
furnished
.
Towards
the
finishing
whereof
,
all
they
that
haue
the
zeale
of
our
Lorde
in
their
heartes
,
and
that
haue
the
means
to
distribute
their
goodes
to
the
poore
,
ought
to
be
diligent
and
charitable
,
to
the
end
they
may
receiue
the
rewarde
which
is
promised
vnto
them
,
whereas
Christ
saith
,
Come
vnto
me
you
blessed
of
my
Father
,
because
that
being
sicke
you
haue
visited
mee
,
and
being
hungry
you
haue
giuen
mee
meate
,
I
was
a
stranger
and
you
receiued
me
;
Possesse
the
kingdom
which
is
prepared
for
you
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
.
This
is
a
maruelous
rewarde
for
a
litle
pelfe
and
worldly
pleasure
bestowed
on
their
neighbour
,
to
obtaine
the
eternall
glory
of
heauen
,
which
is
a
treasure
of
incomparable
felicitie
.
Thus
much
as
concerning
this
matter
.

as

AS
soone

hath

inwardly
malignant
,
full
of
anguish
and
very
tedious
to
the
sicke
;
disquiet
of
the
bodie
,
passions
of
the
hart
,
vomit
,
soundings
,
extreame
thirst
,
paine
and
lassitude
through
the
whole
body
,
with
appearance
of
spots
or
markes
,
or
swellings
vnder
the
arme
pits
,
or
in
the
groine
or
vnder
the
eares
,
or
in
any
part
of
the
body
,
then
is
it
euident
that
the
person
so
affected
is
infected
with
the
plague
,
by
reasons
of
such
signes
or
accidents
(
especially
if
he
that
is
surprised
,
hath
conuersed
with
any
,
or
in
any
place
that
hath
béen
infected
.
)
By
these
signes
and
accidents
wée
may
easily
know
the
nature
of
that
sickenesse
,
as
Auicen
and
Ra●is
do
testifie
:
otherwise
the
sayd
sicknesse
is
verie
often
times
so
fraudulent
and
deceiuable
,
that
for
the
most
part
it
deceiueth
the
patient
and
the
Phisition
,
as
Auicen
after
Galen
doth
testifie
.
For
diuers
of
those
that
are
infected
,
supposing
themselues
to
be
frée
from
the
plague
,
make
no
account
thereof
in
the
beginning
,
nay
,
during
the
first
and
second
dayes
,
they
onely
suffer
a
gentle
feuer
without
any
other
appearance
,
so
that
nature
desisteth
not
to
performe
hir
functions
,
being
as
yet
vnassailed
by
the
venime
.
For
which
cause
the
patient
will
haue
a
good
pulse
,
and
healthful
vrine
,
almost
as
perfect
as
when
they
were
in
health
,
when
as
sodainly
they
are
séene
to
die
without
any
manifest
occasion
,
which
bréedes
doubt
and
trouble
in
the
Phisition
,
as
Galen
and
Auicen
do
testifie
.
For
this
cause
men
ought
not
to
maruell
though
the
Phisitions
in
this
case
are
pusseld
and
doubtful
,
since
this
sicknes
in
his
nature
,
is
so
doubtfull
,
fraudulent
,
and
deceiuable
.
This
notwithstanding
,
whenas
with
the
feuer
,
the
tokens
,
tumor
,
or
carbuncle
do
appeare
,
there
is
no
cause
of
suspition
or
doubt
of
the
disease
.
Then
ought
they
readily
to
withstand
the
same
by
a
fit
and
conuenient
diet
,
and
by
exquisit
and
proper
medicines
sodainly
and
exquisitely
ordained
;
for
a
sickenes
of
that
nature
admits
no
delay
without
certaine
danger
of
death
.
And
therefore
Hipocrates
saith
that
it
is
expedient
in
such
sickenesses
to
minister
euacuations
and
other
meanes
the
very
same
day
:
Now
for
that
it
is
one
of
the
principall
intentions
of
a
Phisition
,
in
this
case
,
to
correct
the
aire
,
and
prohibite
the
venime
,
that
it
may
haue
no
operation
in
the
body
,
we
will
beginne
with
the
same
,
and
so
consequently
discourse
vpon
the
rest
.
The
preparation
of
a
Chamber
.
FIrst
therefore
,
men
ought
to
make
choice
of
a
chamber
for
the
patient
,
that
is
wel
aired
,
if
it
be
possible
,
hauing
the
windowes
towards
the
North
or
East
.
And
if
it
be
in
summer
time
,
it
is
good
to
kéep
those
windows
that
regard
the
North
opened
,
to
the
end
that
the
ayre
of
the
chamber
may
be
purified
and
cleansed
.
Care
likewise
must
be
had
to
haue
the
Chamber
cleansed
twoo
or
thrée
times
a
day
,
and
that
the
floore
be
sprinckled
,
&
the
wals
bedewed
with
good
Rose-vineger
,
mixed
with
common-water
,
or
with
Rose-water
,
if
the
patient
be
rich
.
The
said
chamber
likewise
must
be
strewed
with
odoriferous
flowres
and
swéete
smelling
hearbs
,
namely
in
Summer
time
,
with
roses
,
violets
and
pinkes
,
with
the
leaues
of
willow
and
the
vine
.
It
is
good
also
to
haue
quinces
&
citrons
to
smell
to
,
to
the
end
that
the
ayre
may
be
more
odoriferous
.
Neyther
is
it
amisse
at
what
time
soeuer
it
be
,
to
make
a
light
fire
in
the
Chamber
in
Summer
time
,
for
it
purgeth
the
infected
ayre
very
much
.
And
if
it
be
in
Winter
,
it
is
not
amisse
to
make
a
great
fire
in
the
Chamber
of
Rosemary
;
bayes
,
Iuniper
,
and
such
like
,
perfuming
the
Roome
with
Beniamin
,
Storax
,
Frankinscence
,
Cloues
,
Iuniper-berries
,
or
such
like
.
And
if
the
patient
be
of
abilitie
,
so
as
he
may
change
chambers
,
it
shal
not
be
amisse
to
do
it
oftentimes
,
so
as
it
be
prepared
,
as
we
haue
aduised
.
The
bed
of
the
patient
ought
to
be
large
,
cleane
,
and
perfumed
with
good
odors
according
to
the
season
of
the
yeare
,
as
is
aforesaide
.
He
ought
also
oftentimes
to
change
his
shéets
and
his
shirt
if
he
haue
meanes
twise
or
at
leastwise
once
in
the
day
:
Round
about
his
bed
if
it
be
summer
time
,
and
on
the
top
of
his
couerlets
you
shal
strew
floures
and
odoriferous
fruit
and
boughs
,
and
the
sicke
party
shal
haue
by
him
diuerse
orenges
,
quinces
,
limons
,
or
citrons
to
smell
to
:
And
if
he
be
rich
,
he
shall
cause
certaine
shéets
to
be
stéeped
in
vineger
and
water
,
and
hung
round
about
his
bed
,
not
onely
to
refresh
the
place
,
but
to
repulse
the
euill
vapour
of
the
chamber
:
He
shall
likewise
oftentimes
wash
his
hands
,
his
pulses
,
and
his
face
and
forhead
with
this
mixture
.
Take
of
white
rose
vineger
foure
ounces
,
or
halfe
a
pinte
of
rose
water
,
a
pinte
of
good
malmsey
,
claret
,
or
white
wine
foure
ounces
,
of
the
powlder
of
zodoarie
,
cloues
,
dried
roses
,
and
muske
,
of
each
two
graines
,
let
al
these
be
beaten
and
mixed
together
,
and
let
him
rubbe
his
nose
,
his
eares
,
handes
and
face
therewith
,
for
it
will
comforte
and
quicken
the
heart
and
vitall
spirites
,
and
driue
away
all
euill
vapours
:
Lo
here
the
preparation
of
the
chamber
and
bed
of
him
that
is
diseased
and
sick
of
the
plague
.
Hereafter
insueth
the
maner
of
his
diet
.
Chap.
XI
.
The
Diet
of
him
that
is
strucken
with
the
Plague
.
BEcause
in
this
sickenesse
the
appetite
is
deiected
,
and
the
vertue
of
the
stomacke
and
all
other
members
is
much
enféebled
,
it
behooueth
those
that
are
sicke
,
to
enforce
themselues
to
eate
,
to
the
end
they
may
resist
the
sickenes
,
and
strengthen
nature
,
as
Auicene
commaundeth
,
where
he
saieth
,
that
they
who
manfully
enforce
themselues
in
this
disease
,
and
eate
couragiously
,
are
they
who
escape
.
The
Diet
therefore
of
the
patient
ought
to
be
in
quantitie
moderate
,
taken
by
little
and
little
,
and
often
,
and
in
qualitie
substantiall
and
nourishing
,
and
tempered
with
such
things
as
resist
venome
.
Let
his
meate
be
of
good
nourishment
,
of
easie
digestion
,
and
pleasant
to
the
taste
,
as
shall
be
hereafter
declared
.
His
meate
shall
be
caponets
,
chickins
,
and
pullets
,
yong
kidde
,
veale
and
mutton
,
partridge
,
plouer
,
turtle
,
fesant
,
and
quaile
,
and
the
pottage
made
of
them
very
nourishing
,
shall
be
altered
with
sorrell
,
lettuce
,
borage
,
pimpernell
,
and
the
leaues
of
mariegoldes
,
for
in
this
sickenesse
they
haue
great
vertue
,
as
Alexander
Benedictus
testifieth
in
his
23.
chap.
de
peste
,
yet
must
you
not
mixe
them
all
together
,
but
it
shall
suffice
to
vse
one
or
other
:
and
in
the
saide
broathes
it
shall
not
bée
amisse
to
mixe
some
little
quantitie
of
the
iuyce
of
limons
,
orenges
,
or
sowre
grapes
in
their
seasons
:
The
bread
and
meate
which
they
eate
,
should
be
taken
with
the
Iuyce
of
lemmons
,
citrons
,
oringes
,
pomegranats
,
rose
vineger
,
veriuyce
,
the
Iuyce
of
sorrel
vsing
one
or
the
other
at
seuerall
repasts
:
And
if
sharpenesse
be
displeasant
to
his
stomacke
,
you
may
vse
a
little
of
the
Iuice
of
mintes
with
suger
and
alittle
sinimon
:
Barly
,
creame
,
Almond
milke
,
and
panatels
,
are
fit
meates
in
this
cause
,
as
also
fresh
and
new
egges
poched
in
water
,
and
taken
with
the
Iuice
of
sorrel
and
alittle
suger
.
And
among
other
restoratiues
our
ordinary
candles
of
white
wine
,
rose
water
,
yelks
of
Egs
,
sugar
and
cinamon
is
much
commended
.
A
coulis
also
is
of
very
good
nourishment
,
whenas
the
sick
man
cannot
eate
,
for
then
must
we
restore
him
with
cordiall
&
strong
broths
.
His
drink
shal
be
good
white
or
claret
wine
,
such
as
fumes
not
,
but
is
wel
qualified
with
pure
fountaine
water
,
for
by
reason
of
the
weaknes
of
the
vertue
in
this
cruell
sicknes
,
&
to
resist
the
operation
of
the
venome
,
it
is
not
necessary
to
take
from
them
the
vse
of
wine
except
the
sick
be
very
sanguin
,
yong
,
ful
,
and
of
an
able
body
.
In
which
case
it
shal
be
better
to
forbid
than
to
licence
them
to
vse
it
.
Betwéene
meales
they
may
drink
barly
water
,
in
which
they
may
stéep
and
infuse
some
leaues
of
sorrel
,
and
with
their
barly
water
,
they
may
mix
sirrop
of
limons
,
sirrop
of
sowre
grapes
,
sirrop
of
the
Iuice
of
Citrons
,
sirrop
Alexandrine
,
or
sirrop
of
violets
.
And
if
the
patient
wil
not
drinke
barly
water
,
let
him
drinke
fountaine
water
,
or
raine
water
boiled
and
mixed
with
the
sirrops
aforesaide
.
The
patient
likewise
may
in
this
feuer
drinke
water
very
fréely
,
and
his
fill
,
to
the
intent
he
may
extinguish
the
inward
heate
of
the
pestilent
feuer
,
and
not
by
little
and
little
,
but
fréely
,
as
Paulus
Aegineta
and
Auicen
thinke
necessary
in
this
disposition
.
For
which
cause
let
this
serue
,
both
to
aduise
the
sicke
&
his
kéeper
to
alow
drinke
fréely
,
&
the
vse
of
water
,
after
which
let
the
patient
be
wel
couered
to
prouoke
sweate
,
which
is
one
of
the
best
euacuations
that
profiteth
in
this
sicknes
.

Rules
as
touching
bloud-letting
,
the
potions
and
Euacuations
which
are
necessary
for
him
that
is
sicke
of
the
plague
.
AS
soone
as
the
sicke
man
by
the
signes
aforesaid
féels
himselfe
strooken
,
he
ought
very
spéedily
séeke
out
for
some
remedy
for
this
sickenesse
,
neither
leasure
nor
delay
without
danger
of
death
,
by
reason
of
the
malignitie
thereof
opposed
against
mans
life
:
wherefore
we
ought
with
all
diligent
care
to
withstand
the
same
,
and
prohibit
the
venime
,
and
breake
the
forces
thereof
,
lest
it
woorke
the
vtter
ruine
of
our
bodies
.
As
soone
therefore
as
any
one
féeleth
himselfe
seazed
,
giue
him
this
potion
.
Take
of
the
iuice
of
marigolds
the
quantity
of
two
or
thrée
ounces
,
giue
it
the
patient
to
drinke
,
with
a
little
white
wine
or
sorrel-water
,
and
couer
him
wel
,
that
he
may
sweat
.
This
Iuice
maketh
a
man
frée
and
assured
from
the
venime
,
as
testifieth
Alexander
Benedictus
in
his
treatise
of
the
plague
,
and
it
is
a
most
tryed
and
notable
secret
.
And
if
he
sweat
after
he
hath
taken
the
same
,
hée
shall
be
assured
by
the
grace
of
God
of
perfect
health
In
stead
of
the
said
hearbe
you
may
take
the
iuice
of
veruine
in
like
quantity
,
or
the
Iuice
of
the
hearbe
called
Scabious
,
which
hath
great
force
and
efficacy
in
this
case
,
giue
two
ounces
of
the
said
Iuice
with
white
Wine
,
Rose-water
,
or
Sorrel-water
,
and
you
shall
sée
a
wonderfull
effect
.
But
these
remedies
ought
to
be
giuen
sodainly
.
For
if
the
sicke
man
dally
a
day
or
two
before
he
complaine
,
they
haue
no
effect
or
force
.
Of
Blood-letting
.
AS
soone
as
the
sicke
féeleth
himselfe
strucken
,
if
he
be
sanguine
,
yong
,
and
full
,
you
ought
to
let
him
bloud
by
those
rules
that
ensue
hereafter
.
If
the
signe
or
tumor
appeare
not
as
yet
,
you
ought
to
let
him
bloud
in
the
Mediana
of
the
right
arme
rather
than
of
the
left
,
to
prouide
lest
the
venime
haue
recourse
to
the
hart
,
and
to
take
blood
according
to
the
repletion
and
vertue
of
the
patient
.
Or
to
worke
more
surely
,
wée
may
take
the
veine
in
the
foote
called
Saphena
,
to
diuert
the
venime
from
the
noble
parts
,
or
instéede
of
letting
bloud
apply
cupping-glasses
with
scarification
on
his
shoulders
and
buttocks
.
From
the
strong
,
able
,
and
well
complexioned
,
you
may
take
some
sixe
ounces
of
bloud
,
or
at
the
least
thrée
or
foure
:
but
for
such
as
are
weake
,
they
must
not
be
dealt
with
.
And
note
,
that
in
this
sickenesse
,
we
ought
not
to
be
busie
in
taking
bloud
although
bloud-letting
be
necessarie
,
because
bloud
is
the
treasury
of
life
,
whose
assistance
nature
néedeth
to
combate
with
the
venime
.
As
also
for
that
by
much
letting
bloud
mens
forces
are
weakened
,
and
the
venime
worketh
with
more
aduantage
,
as
shal
be
hereafter
declared
.
And
whenas
the
patient
is
letten
bloud
,
wee
ought
to
cause
him
kéepe
in
his
mouth
either
a
little
péece
of
an
orenge
or
a
lemmon
,
or
a
cloue
or
some
cinnamon
,
or
else
a
little
rose
vineger
,
and
rose
water
mixed
together
,
to
comfort
his
heart
and
vitall
spirites
.
But
if
the
markes
or
botch
do
appeare
,
the
blood
is
to
be
drawne
on
that
side
of
the
body
on
which
the
tumor
sheweth
it selfe
,
namely
,
if
the
swelling
beginneth
to
shew
behinde
the
right
eare
,
drawe
blood
in
the
Cephalica
of
the
right
arme
,
and
so
of
the
left
.
If
the
signe
appéere
vnder
the
arme
pits
,
you
shal
cut
the
median
of
the
same
side
,
namely
on
the
right
arm
,
if
the
impostume
be
vnder
the
right
armehole
,
and
that
on
the
left
:
likewise
when
the
impostume
sheweth
it selfe
vnder
the
left
arme
hole
.
But
in
trueth
the
surest
way
is
rather
,
in
this
case
,
to
open
the
veines
of
the
féete
then
of
the
armes
,
to
the
end
you
may
draw
the
venime
farthest
off
:
if
the
signe
appéere
vnder
the
groyne
,
strike
the
Saphena
on
the
same
side
,
or
rather
the
inward
veine
of
the
ham
,
if
it
may
be
found
,
the
like
ought
also
to
be
done
in
the
carbuncle
when
it
appéereth
,
yet
ought
not
the
bloodletting
be
redoubled
,
but
onely
vsed
on
that
side
where
the
carbuncle
appéereth
.
But
note
in
this
case
of
bloodletting
,
that
it
ought
to
be
done
before
the
patient
hath
remained
infected
foure
and
twenty
houres
,
for
after
the
terme
is
past
,
blood
letting
is
both
hurtfull
and
pernicious
,
because
that
by
the
same
the
contagion
is
inwardly
drawne
into
the
body
and
heart
.
Whence
it
happeneth
,
that
the
most
part
of
those
that
are
let
blood
doe
die
,
as
by
Hierome
Fracastorius
an
excellent
and
noted
Phisitian
is
sufficiently
testified
in
his
treatise
of
the
Plague
,
the
third
Booke
and
fift
chapter
,
who
testifieth
that
all
they
,
who
in
the
pestilent
yéeres
of
1505.
and
1528.
were
let
blood
,
died
all
of
them
by
the
reason
aforesaide
,
because
that
where
the
interior
séede
of
the
venime
is
scattered
and
mixed
with
the
blood
and
humors
of
the
body
(
which
is
done
in
two
daies
space
or
thereabout
after
a
man
féeleth
himselfe
infected
)
letting
blood
is
greatly
harmefull
,
because
it
causeth
agitation
of
the
blood
,
and
augmenteth
by
this
means
the
putrifaction
,
and
by
such
agitation
and
motion
the
contagion
doth
more
inwardly
mixe
it selfe
with
the
humors
,
and
maketh
them
,
of
pure
and
sincere
,
corrupt
and
infected
:
after
no
other
maner
than
whenas
stincking
mud
is
mooued
,
it
venteth
out
the
more
,
and
maketh
the
aire
infected
and
stincking
,
as
is
séene
by
experience
,
or
whenas
a
man
shaketh
or
shoggeth
a
vessel
full
of
salt
or
bitter
water
,
the
water
becommeth
more
bitter
and
salt
than
if
it
had
béen
suffered
to
be
settled
,
without
moouing
it
:
For
euery
matter
that
is
mooued
,
is
worse
then
that
which
remaineth
in
quiet
,
as
testifieth
Galen
in
his
fift
booke
de
Symptomatum
causis
.
And
by
these
reasons
the
said
Fracastorius
and
Fernelius
likewise
,
men
both
of
them
excellently
learned
,
are
of
opinion
,
that
blood
is
not
to
be
let
in
this
case
,
to
whose
iudgements
I
subscribe
.
And
for
mine
owne
part
,
and
in
trueth
I
finde
it
more
expedient
,
instéede
of
letting
blood
,
to
vse
cupping
glasses
with
scarrification
,
for
after
the
second
day
is
past
,
phlebotomy
is
to
be
omitted
.
Sée
héere
our
instruction
as
touching
blood-letting
.
Of
Purging
.
AS
touching
purgation
,
it
ought
to
be
administred
in
the
beginning
,
but
rather
with
gentle
and
pleasing
medicines
than
violent
,
which
doe
weaken
and
force
Nature
,
and
with
them
we
ought
to
mixe
some
powlder
,
as
the
powlder
of
the
electuary
Theriacal
of
Guidon
,
or
the
powlder
of
Bole
Armenus
,
with
Iuniper
berries
:
or
for
the
rich
,
with
Terra
sigillata
,
or
treacle
,
or
good
mithridate
.
If
then
the
patient
be
poore
,
thou
must
giue
him
halfe
an
ounce
of
the
electuary
of
the
iuyce
of
roses
,
or
asmuch
of
Diaprunis
solutiue
,
or
an
ounce
of
Diacatholicon
,
if
hée
be
cholerike
.
And
if
he
be
phlegmatike
,
thrée
drachmes
of
Diacarthamum
,
or
Electuary
de
Citro
solutiue
.
And
if
he
be
melancholike
,
the
confection
Hamech
dissolued
in
water
of
scabious
,
or
sorrel
,
or
buglosse
,
an
ounce
of
sirop
of
limons
,
or
a
drachme
of
good
treacle
,
or
the
powlder
of
bole
Armenus
prepared
,
or
the
séedes
of
Citron
or
Iuniper
berries
.
The
richer
sort
ought
to
be
purged
with
manna
Rubarbe
,
sirrop
of
roses
solutiue
without
scammony
with
Cassia
and
Mirabolans
,
and
if
néede
require
,
you
may
mixe
a
little
dose
of
the
electuary
of
the
iuyce
of
roses
,
or
Diaprunis
solutiue
in
those
that
are
cholerike
,
as
in
the
phlegmatike
,
a
litle
Diaphenicon
:
or
in
the
melancholike
alitle
of
confection
Hamech
,
mixing
with
the
saide
potions
for
the
rich
,
halfe
an
ounce
,
or
a
drachme
of
Terra
sigillata
,
or
of
the
powlder
of
Diamargariton
,
or
of
the
powlder
Theriacal
of
Guidon
,
with
the
abouenamed
waters
,
and
the
sirrope
of
limons
,
or
the
iuyce
of
citrons
.
And
if
they
take
more
contentment
to
be
purged
by
pils
,
they
may
vse
the
common
pils
of
Rufus
,
made
of
aloes
,
mirrhe
and
saffron
,
adding
thereunto
a
little
Rubarbe
:
for
the
rich
,
Agaric
,
with
a
little
Terra
sigillata
,
or
Bole
Armenus
prepared
,
The
poore
may
vse
pilles
Aggregatiue
,
or
Aurea
,
or
Cochia
,
to
the
quantitie
of
a
drachme
or
foure
scruples
,
and
when
their
medicine
hath
wrought
his
operation
,
they
may
take
half
a
porrenger
of
the
broath
of
a
chickin
,
and
make
a
light
meale
:
And
during
the
working
of
their
medicine
,
they
may
alwayes
holde
in
their
handes
to
smel
to
roses
,
orenges
,
limons
,
marioram
,
rosemary
,
and
such
like
,
and
may
oftentimes
wash
their
hands
and
wet
their
nostrilles
in
rose
water
mixed
with
vineger
and
the
powlder
of
cloues
or
Angelica
or
Zedoary
as

Potions
against
the
Plague
.
AND
to
accomplish
this
chapter
,
it
remaineth
to
set
downe
certaine
necessary
potions
to
minister
to
the
sicke
that
may
resist
the
venime
,
which
during
the
time
of
their
sickenesse
,
ought
very
oftentimes
to
be
ministred
vnto
them
,
vntill
such
time
as
nature
ouercommeth
the
force
of
the
infection
,
being
assisted
by
the
vertue
of
naturall
heate
,
and
by
cordiall
Antidotes
,
that
is
to
say
,
by
medicines
,
that
are
altogether
contrarie
to
the
venime
of
the
plague
:
(
which
the
Arabians
in
their
tongue
are
accustomed
to
call
Bezoatici
,
and
the
Latines
Antidotes
.
)
Euerie
morning
and
euening
therefore
,
and
if
néed
be
,
at
midday
or
midnight
(
if
the
accidents
be
violent
)
you
may
cause
the
patient
to
drinke
these
potions
folowing
.
If
he
be
poore
,
take
Iuniper-berries
,
and
Bole
Armenus
,
of
each
a
drachme
,
powlder
them
wel
and
mixe
them
with
scabious
,
buglosse
,
or
sorrel
water
,
and
one
ounce
of
sirop
of
limons
,
cause
him
to
take
it
euening
and
morning
,
euery
day
,
or
else
take
the
powlder
of
the
Electuary
of
Guido
,
giue
him
a
drachme
after
the
same
manner
:
you
may
also
vse
with
good
effect
the
poulder
of
betony
,
dried
to
the
quantity
of
a
drachme
or
4.
scruples
,
taking
it
in
summer
time
with
rose
water
,
and
in
winter
in
good
white
wine
,
and
it
worketh
wonderful
effects
,
if
the
patient
kéepe
himselfe
well
couered
,
and
sweate
therevpon
,
for
it
causeth
the
venime
to
euaporate
by
sweat
.
Treacle
and
Mythridate
also
are
soueraine
medcines
to
this
effect
,
being
taken
to
the
quantitie
of
a
drachme
with
rose
water
in
summer
,
or
succorie
or
sorrel
water
,
and
in
winter
with
good
white
or
claret
wine
.
For
the
rich
,
let
this
powlder
be
dispensed
.
Take
the
rootes
of
tormentil
,
the
roote
of
Diptamus
Creticus
,
if
it
be
possible
,
the
roots
of
Angelica
Zedoari
and
Gentian
of
each
a
drachme
,
of
the
seedes
of
citrons
and
sorrel
two
drachmes
,
of
true
Bole
Armenus
prepared
twoo
drachmes
,
of
Terra
sigillata
thrée
drachmes
,
of
pearles
two
drachmes
,
of
red
corall
foure
scruples
,
of
the
rinde
of
the
citron
or
Oringe
dryed
a
drachme
,
beate
all
these
to
a
fine
powlder
,
of
which
you
may
giue
the
patient
in
the
waters
aboue
named
,
the
weight
of
a
drachme
,
or
a
drachme
and
a
halfe
.
If
you
will
make
an
opiate
thereof
,
you
may
confect
the
powlder
with
conserue
of
roses
,
or
buglosse
,
or
sirrop
of
limons
,
and
make
an
opiate
,
of
which
you
may
giue
the
patient
halfe
an
ounce
at
a
time
.
This
poulder
is
of
most
excellent
vertue
and
great
effect
,
if
it
be
wel
dispenced
,
which
amongst
all
other
medicines
is
most
appropriate
,
as
by
the
vertue
of
the
ingredients
,
the
expert
and
learned
Phisitian
may
easily
coniecture
.
These
are
the
remedies
which
in
potions
are
most
assured
and
are
both
experimented
and
alowed
(
laying
aside
the
superstitious
and
vaine
opinions
,
of
the
vnicornes
horne
,
of
which
the
common
sort
make
so
great
reckoning
.
)
For
in
truth
it
is
a
méere
folly
to
beléeue
that
the
pieces
of
horne
,
which
diuers
men
beare
about
them
,
is
the
horne
of
that
beast
which
the
Gréekes
called
Monoceros
,
and
the
latins
Vnicornu
,
(
as
the
simple
sorte
,
vnicornes
horne
)
for
it
is
a
beast
so
rare
to
be
séene
,
and
in
places
so
strange
,
that
scarsely
Alexander
the
great
could
recouer
one
to
his
great
charge
and
expence
,
(
as
Plinie
,
Aelian
and
Philostratus
testifie
)
neither
may
it
be
taken
aliue
,
for
that
it
liueth
in
places
desart
and
solitary
in
the
extreamest
parts
of
India
and
the
East
.
But
leauing
these
things
apart
,
I
say
that
we
ought
to
trust
to
perfect
tried
&
experienced
medicines
,
such
as
are
those
,
which
heretofore
I
haue
faithfully
set
downe
for
the
common
good
,
and
the
loue
I
beare
vnto
my
neighbours
.
In
prosecution
of
which
matter
,
I
say
by
the
authoritie
of
Galen
Lib.
9.
de
simpl
.
fac
.
cap.
14.
V.T.
that
Bole
Armenus
is
by
him
singularly
commended
amongst
all
other
simples
for
the
plague
:
For
in
that
great
plague
which
in
his
time
was
in
Greece
,
all
those
that
drunke
Bole
Armenus
were
sodainely
healed
,
as
the
said
Galen
testifieth
,
who
aduiseth
vs
to
take
it
with
good
white
wine
,
somewhat
qualified
and
mixed
with
water
,
the
quantitie
ought
to
be
some
two
drachmes
:
And
here
you
are
to
note
that
in
those
who
are
already
taken
with
the
plague
,
it
behooueth
to
giue
them
a
greater
dose
of
your
Antidotes
,
then
those
whom
you
intend
to
preserue
.
For
in
the
venime
of
the
plague
is
already
inclosed
in
their
bodies
,
it
is
necessary
that
the
medicine
should
be
more
forcible
to
ouercome
and
subdue
the
same
,
then
before
that
it
seazeth
the
body
.
And
therefore
if
to
the
healthy
you
will
ordaine
a
drachme
to
preserue
him
,
you
ought
to
giue
eare
to
those
that
are
sicke
.
And
this
may
serue
for
an
aduertisement
to
the
common
sorte
,
how
they
should
gouerne
their
sicke
in
time
of
visitation
.
This
water
that
enseweth
,
is
likewise
of
great
vertue
,
and
allowed
by
many
experiences
.
TAke
two
pound
of
the
iuyce
of
limons
,
of
rose
vineger
,
as
much
of
Bole
Armenus
prepared
two
ounces
,
of
the
dried
rinde
of
orenges
one
ounce
,
infuse
them
a
day
naturall
,
or
xxiiii
.
houres
in
the
saide
vineger
,
and
afterwardes
distill
them
in
Balneo
Mariae
,
giue
of
this
water
foure
ounces
with
sirrope
of
limons
,
or
sirrope
of
sowre
grapes
,
for
it
is
an
excellent
medicine
,
as
Fracastorius
in
his
third
Booke
de
morbis
Contagiosis
,
chap.
7.
whose
name
I
héere
set
downe
,
to
the
end
I
may
no
waies
seeme
to
defraude
any
one
of
the
praise
due
vnto
them
,
or
challenge
to
my selfe
other
mens
inuentions
.
Hitherto
haue
we
sufficiently
spoken
of
those
medicines
which
are
to
bée
taken
inwardly
,
it
remaineth
that
we
speake
of
those
that
are
to
be
applied
outwardly
.
But
before
that
I
intreate
of
them
,
I
will
describe
in
this
place
a
confection
or
restoratiue
to
be
ministred
vnto
him
that
is
infected
with
the
plague
.
Take
conserue
of
roses
,
conserue
of
water
lillies
,
conserues
of
sowre
grapes
,
and
buglosse
,
of
each
an
ounce
,
of
pouldered
pearles
one
drachme
,
of
Bole
Armenus
prepared
foure
scruples
,
of
fine
suger
as
much
as
sufficeth
,
reduce
all
these
into
the
forme
of
a
Conduite
,
with
leaues
of
golde
for
the
rich
.
As
for
the
poore
,
it
shall
suffice
to
giue
them
the
foresaide
conserues
,
with
a
little
of
the
poulder
of
Bole
Armenus
,
or
Triasantali
,
or
the
séeds
of
sowre
grapes
,
or
citrons
,
or
the
barke
thereof
.
It
is
good
also
to
giue
them
oft
times
a
tablet
of
losenge
of
Diamargariton
,
when
they
haue
the
fainting
of
the
heart
,
with
a
little
buglosse
water
,
or
white
wine
:
and
if
they
fall
into
soundings
,
giue
them
confection
Alchermes
after
the
same
maner
:
for
it
is
a
miraculous
medcine
in
strengthening
the
heart
,
and
reuiuing
the
spirites
.
And
in
this
case
it
is
good
to
restore
them
with
good
broaths
,
wine
caudles
,
and
egges
,
as
wée
haue
héeretofore
aduised
.
Manus
Christi
perlata
also
is
good
in
this
case
,
and
pleasant
to
the
eater
,
which
you
may
giue
in
brothes
,
in
buglosse
water
,
or
in
the
forme
of
a
tablet
.
To
comfort
the
heart
outwardly
,
vse
this
Epitheme
that
followeth
.
For
the
rich
take
rose
water
,
sorrell
water
,
buglosse
,
and
balme
water
,
of
each
foure
ounces
,
of
good
white
wine
or
malmsey
thrée
ounces
,
of
the
powlder
of
Diamargariton
,
and
de
Gemmis
,
of
each
one
drachme
,
of
powlder
of
scarlet
which
we
call
vermilion
,
of
cloues
,
of
each
halfe
a
drachme
,
of
powlder
of
zedoary
and
Bole
Armenus
,
of
ech
a
scruple
,
of
the
trochisques
of
camphre
halfe
a
scruple
,
make
an
Epitheme
for
the
heart
,
the
which
you
shall
apply
with
a
péece
of
fine
scarlet
vppon
the
region
of
the
heart
morning
and
euening
:
For
the
poore
it
sufficeth
to
make
an
Epitheme
of
sowre
grape-water
or
sorrel
water
,
of
balme-water
,
and
rose
water
,
with
alittle
white
wine
,
and
the
powlder
of
sanders
and
alittle
powlder
of
Iuniper-berries
:
Instéed
of
the
said
Epithemes
,
you
may
make
certaine
bagges
of
silke
for
the
hart
after
this
fashion
.
Take
dryed
red
roses
,
flowers
of

Mathiolus
of
Siena
a
notable
Phision
of
our
age
(
principally
in
matter
of
simples
)
in
his
sixt
booke
of
his
Commentaries
vpon
Dioscorides
writing
vpon
the
preface
,
sets
down
an
excellent
ointment
of
great
virtu
to
withstand
the
operation
of
venim
in
those
that
are
sicke
of
the
plague
:
the
description
whereof
is
long
and
difficult
to
be
made
,
and
serueth
but
for
Princes
and
great
Lords
,
in
that
it
is
very
chargeable
:
Therefore
to
auoyde
prolixitie
,
we
haue
thought
good
to
referre
the
Reader
to
that
place
,
if
he
thinke
good
to
cause
it
to
be
dispensed
:
The
name
thereof
is
the
oile
of
scorpions
,
which
in
trueth
is
of
maruelous
vertue
to
expel
poison
and
venime
,
as
by
the
maruellous
composition
and
art
in
making
that
oile
may
be
séene
.
But
instead
thereof
,
we
will
set
downe
an
other
oyle
of
scorpions
,
of
a
more
easie
composition
set
downe
by
Alexander
Benedictus
in
the
xx
.
chapter
of
his
booke
of
the
plague
:
the
description
whereof
hereafter
ensueth
:
Take
of
oile
oliue
,
the
oldest
that
may
be
gotten
one
pound
;
then
take
thréescore
liue
scorpions
,
and
put
them
in
a
violl
of
glasse
,
in
the
said
oyle
,
and
boyle
them
ouer
a
soft
fire
nine
houres
,
or
set
the
said
oyle
in
our
Ladies
baine
,
and
when
they
haue
thus
boyled
in
the
oyle
,
thou
shalt
adde
vnto
them
of
treacle
two
ounces
,
and
let
it
boyle
in
the
said
oyle
a
quarter
of
an
houre
,
then
straine
all
of
it
,
and
kéepe
the
said
oyle
in
a
violl
well
closed
and
stopped
with
waxe
,
and
parchment
,
and
with
it
annoynt
the
sicke
vnder
the
armepittes
,
behinde
the
eares
,
on
the
breast
,
the
pulses
of
the
armes
,
the
temples
,
and
nosthrilles
twice
or
thrice
a
day
.
This
is
a
most
excellent
remedy
,
and
of
great
force
,
as
the
aforesaid
Authors
testifie
,
who
writes
,
that
if
this
vnction
be
applied
sodainly
to
him
that
is
sicke
of
the
plague
,
before
24.
houres
be
past
he
shal
be
deliuered
,
vsing
the
remedies
aforesaide
.
The
same
Author
likewise
reporteth
that
this
oyntment
is
of
great
effect
:
Take
a
glasse
that
containeth
a
pint
and
a
halfe
and
more
,
fil
it
with
oile
that
is
old
,
in
which
oile
you
shal
infuse
of
elder
floures
six
litle
handfuls
,
of
the
floures
of
walworth
two
handfuls
,
of
the
leaues
and
floures
of
Hipericon
,
or
S.
Iohns
wort
a
handful
,
(
but
let
the
oile
couer
the
hearbs
,
and
be
more
in
quantitie
:
)
set
this
vessel
closely
luted
in
the
sunne
for
the
space
of
fortie
dayes
,
or
a
whole
summer
,
and
reserue
it
to
the
abouenamed
vses
to
annoynt
the
sicke
,
as
hath
béen
saide
.
But
after
you
haue
annoynted
him
,
you
must
couer
him
close
,
for
the
oyle
procureth
sweate
,
and
by
such
euacuation
causeth
the
venime
to
vapor
outwardly
:
and
,
if
to
the
said
oyle
you
shal
annex
twenty
or
thirty
scorpions
,
it
wil
be
farre
more
excellent
,
if
besides
you
adde
two
or
thrée
ounces
of
good
treacle
,
and
boyle
them
in
our
Ladies
bayne
,
it
will
haue
more
force
Sée

the
best
outward
remedies
that
you
may
vse
in
this
strange
sicknesse
.
How
a
man
ought
to
proceede
in
curing
the
plague
sore
.
WHenas
the
plague
sore
appéereth
in
any
of
the
emunctories
,
it
is
a
signe
that
Nature
by
her
power
would
discharge
the
member
principall
of
that
venim
which
assaileth
it
,
and
therfore
hath
she
by
her
prouidence
created
in
the
heart
,
the
braine
,
and
liuer
,
certaine
glandalous
and
spungy
parts
,
which
are
apt
to
receiue
the
superfluities
that
are
hurtful
to
those
members
.
For
vnder
the
arme
pittes
there
are
certain
kernels
that
serue
the
heart
,
and
these
are
the
emunctories
of
that
member
,
as
behinde
the
eares
also
there
are
the
like
which
serue
to
discharge
the
braine
,
and
in
the
groines
,
for
the
liuer
.
And
when
as
the
venime
inuades
any
of
these
principal
members
,
nature
,
(
to
warrantize
the
nobler
part
)
dischargeth
,
and
sendeth
the
venime
to
his
proper
emunctory
:
wherefore
,
if
the
hart
be
attainted
with
venim
,
the
plague
sore
will
soon
appéere
vnder
the
arme
pits
:
if
the
braine
be
infected
,
the
sore
wil
appéere
behinde
the
eares
:
as
also
,
if
the
liuer
be
indempnified
,
the
sore
wil
breake
out
in
the
groine
:
and
because
it
is
an
expulsion
which
nature
maketh
to
the
exterior
and
vilder
parts
,
to
defend
the
interior
&
principall
,
we
ought
to
take
great
héed
,
lest
by
cold
repercussiue
or
astringent
medicines
,
we
driue
the
sore
inwards
,
but
rather
,
bicause
the
said
sore
is
of
a
venimous
nature
,
it
ought
to
be
driuen
and
forced
outward
by
medicines
that
draw
,
and
are
in
qualitie
hote
and
fitte
to
draw
the
sore
to
ripenesse
and
matter
if
it
be
possible
.
When
as
the
tumor
appeareth
in
any
of
the
saide
emunctories
,
you
shall
sodainly
make
incision
round
about
the
tumor
after
the
manner
of
scarification
made
with
the
rasor
to
auoyde
the
inuenimed
bloud
,
and
shall
sodainely
apply
a
cupping-glasse
therevpon
to
draw
out
the
venimous
poison
,
if
that
place
be
capable
of
a
cupping-glasse
,
as
in
the
groine
and
behinde
the
eares
,
but
vnder
the
arme-pittes
very
hardly
.
And
afterwards
you
shal
apply
suppuratiue
&
ripening
medicines
,
and
such
as
draw
after
this
forme
.
Take
a
white
onion
and
cut
out
the
inward
kore
with
your
knife
,
and
make
a
sufficient
hollow
therein
,
fill
it
with
very
good
treacle
,
or
the
theriacall
powlder
of
Guidon
,
couer
and
close
it
,
and
roast
it
gently
vnder
the
ashes
,
till
it
be
soft
and
hote
,
as
it
comes
from
the
fire
,
or
as
the
patient
may
indure
it
,
apply
it
to
the
sore
.
This
is
one
of
the
best
remedies
that
a
man
can
apply
:
Or
take
the
hearb
scabious
,
bruise
it
betwéene
two
stones
,
and
apply
it
on
the
sore
,
either
of
it selfe
or
mixed
with
salted
hogges
grease
.
You
may
also
make
a
cataplasme
according
to
this
forme
folowing
:
take
of
the
roots
of
white
lillies
wel
cleansed
,
halfe
a
handfull
of
the
leaues
and
roots
of
mallowes
and
holy-hocks
,
twoo
handfulls
;
of
fat
figges
,
to
the
number
of
thirty
,
of
linte-séede
and
fenu-gréek
séed
,
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
,
of
leuaine
one
ounce
,
of
bran
,
halfe
a
handfull
,
of
scabious
,
halfe
a
handfull
;
boyle
al
these
in
water
,
stamp
and
straine
them
,
and
afterwards
adde
vnto
them
wheate
floure
,
of
lin-séede
and
fenugrée
séede
,
of
each
an
ounce
,
boyle
them
as
before
with
a
little
water
and
hony
,
Galbanum
twoo
drachmes
,
armoniac
a
drachme
,
the
yelkes
of
egges
,
two
in
number
,
common
salt
,
a
drachme
;
oyle
of
white
lillies
,
as
much
as
néedeth
,
of
hennes
grease
,
one
ounce
;
of
safferne
a
drachme
,
make
a
cataplasme
of
all
these
,
and
apply
it
on
the
sore
with
fat
wooll
,
remoouing
it
two
or
thrée
times
a
day
.
This
also
is
very
good
:
take
the
crummes
of
white
bread
,
to
the
quantitie
of
halfe
a
pound
,
fatte
figges
,
xxx
.
in
number
,
leuan
,
two
ounces
,
liue
snayles
with
their
shells
xx
.
in
number
,
fenugréeke
séede
one
ounce
,
seethe
all
these
together
in
water
,
then
beate
them
together
,
and
adde
vnto
them
of
salted
hogs
grease
one
ounce
,
of
oyle
of
white
lillies
as
much
as
néedeth
,
make
a
cataplasme
heereof
,
which
is
very
good
to
ripen
and
breake
an
impostume
.
The
ancient
Phisitions
vse
the
implaster
of
Diachilon
magnum
,
and
spread
it
on
the
sore
,
&
of
that
I
haue
made
proofe
.
For
it
is
a
good
drawer
by
reason
of
the
gums
that
are
ingredient
.
It
is
likewise
very
allowable
to
draw
out
the
venime
from
the
sore
to
take
a
chicken
or
cocke
,
and
to
pull
the
feathers
from
his
taile
,
and
to
apply
him
to
the
soare
,
for
by
this
meanes
,
he
driues
out
the
venome
,
and
when
he
is
dead
,
apply
another
:
In
stead
of
this
remedy
,
some
vse
to
take
great
pullets
and
pigeons
,
and
cutting
them
in
two
along
the
backe
,
apply
them
hote
as
they
are
vpon
the
tumor
or
carbuncle
,
for
this
is
an
appropriate
remedy
,
both
for
the
one
&
the
other
.
When
the
kore
shal
be
ripe
,
you
must
open
the
same
with
an
actual
cautery
,
which
is
better
than
the
lancet
or
cold
yron
,
because
it
comforteth
the
member
and
driueth
out
the
venome
by
the
actuall
heate
and
violence
of
the
fire
:
I
likewise
aduise
all
those
that
are
sicke
of
the
plague
,
to
endure
the
same
,
notwithstanding
it
shal
affright
them
somewhat
,
for
it
is
the
best
and
most
wholsom
remedy
that
may
be
giuen
,
as
both
Albucatus
and
Auicen
do
testifie
in
that
place
,
where
they
discourse
of
the
actuall
cautery
:
And
instéed
of
the
actuall
cautery
,
if
the
patient
will
not
endure
the
same
,
you
must
proceede
with
familiar
ruptories
,
of
which
the
best
is
that
which
is
made
of
ashes
and
quicke
lime
boyled
together
,
till
such
time
as
the
water
is
consumed
,
and
there
remaineth
nothing
but
the
ashes
and
lime
incorporated
and
vnited
together
,
which
is
a
strong
and
excellent
ruptory
,
and
such
a
one
as
worketh
his
operation
without
any
,
or
very
little
payne
,
as
at
diuers
times
,
and
in
many
patients
I
haue
approoued
:
And
note
that
in
these
pestilent
tumors
,
you
must
not
exspect
the
intire
maturation
thereof
,
but
must
open
the
same
before
it
be
thorowly
ripe
,
to
the
end
that
the
venome
remaine
not
long
time
in
the
body
,
and
there
thorough
steame
vp
to
the
principall
members
and
communicate
the
venome
with
them
to
the
danger
of
him
that
is
diseased
,
and
therefore
it
is
better
to
open
them
sooner
than
later
.
And
whenas
the
sores
or
sore
is
opened
,
you
must
not
thrust
bigge
tents
of
lint
into
them
,
but
little
ones
,
to
the
end
that
the
venimous
matter
may
the
better
issue
forth
&
make
no
stay
in
the
sore
.
And
in
this
case
Alexander
Benedictus
councelleth
in
the
14.
chap.
of
his
booke
de
peste
not
to
put
any
tents
of
linte
or
other
linnen
into
the
sore
,
lest
the
venime
be
forced
backe
,
and
in
effect
the
reason
is
very
good
.
He
likewise
willeth
vs
,
not
to
bind
vp
the
sore
too
straight
,
when
it
is
opened
,
thinking
the
ligature
sufficient
which
kéepeth
the
plaisters
to
the
sore
.
And
for
mine
owne
part
,
I
am
truly
assured
that
it
is
far
better
to
vse
certaine
tents
of
hollow
siluer
,
lead
,
or
tinne
,
then
of
lint
altogether
,
to
the
end
that
by
the
hollow
tents
,
the
venime
may
the
better
and
the
sooner
be
euacuated
,
and
not
stayed
within
,
which
is
the
intention
that
a
good
and
aduised
Surgeon
ought
to
haue
.
And
this
may
serue
for
aduise
and
counsaile
hence
forward
,
although
that
diuers
will
thinke
this
matter
somwhat
strange
vnto
them
who
are
accustomed
to
vse
an
other
fashion
,
but
the
truth
in
all
things
ought
to
haue
place
,
and
should
not
be
any
wayes
disguised
.
After
that
the
sore
is
opened
,
you
must
mundifie
the
same
with
these
cleansing
abstersiue
medicines
folowing
:
and
note
,
that
you
ought
to
kéepe
these
sores
open
a
long
time
,
and
to
suffer
them
to
purge
out
their
venime
by
the
vse
of
these
cleansing
medicines
following
.
Take
of
the
mundification
of
rozen
,
and
put
it
vppon
the
saide
sores
within
them
by
hollow
tents
:
or
take
barley
meale
sod
in
water
,
and
honny
,
an
ounce
or
two
,
incorporate
with
good
honny
of
roses
,
annexing
the
roote
of
the
lilly
of
Florence
and
a
little
salt
,
make
a
clensing
medicine
hereof
:
or
take
Sarcocolla
beaten
to
powlder
,
sodden
honny
,
of
each
a
like
quantitie
,
incorporate
them
togither
and
make
an
ointment
thereof
,
for
it
is
a
mundifier
.
But
amongst
all
other
vnguents
that
cleanse
loathsome
vlcers
and
such
as
are
of
a
venimous
and
euill
quality
,
I
haue
not
found
any
more
excellent
,
or
that
cleanseth
the
loathsome
,
stinking
,
and
euil
matter
,
then
this
which
I
composed
my selfe
,
and
haue
often
vsed
and
tried
the
same
with
good
effect
.
Take
of
the
iuices
of
daffadill
and
wormewood
,
of
each
foure
ounces
,
of
hony
of
roses
clarified
,
eight
ounces
,
boyle
these
together
vntil
the
iuices
,
be
consumed
,
then
adde
thervnto
of
turpentine
of
Venice
,
washed
in
rose
water
,
or
aqua
vitae
,

drachms
,
of
the
flower
of
Lupins
two
drachms
,
make
an
oyntment
of
these
:
in
truth
I
can
assure
you
that
I
haue
séene
this
medicine
work
admirable
effect
in
the
vlcers
of
the
french
pox
and
such
like
,
cleansing
them
very
purely
,
not
only
of
their
grosse
and
euil
matter
,
but
of
the
dead
flesh
and
kores
inclosed
in
the
said
vlcers
,
as
I
haue
often
times
tried
:
Or
do
thus
:
Take
of
Venice
turpentine
washed
in
aqua
vitae
in
winter
,
and
barley
water
in
summer
,
halfe
a
pound
of
oyle
of
roses
three
ounces
,
of
honny
of
roses
foure
ounces
,
of
good
and
gummy
mirrh
,
aloes
,
mastike
,
Aristolochia
the
round
,
of
ech
one
drachme
and
a
halfe
;
of
barly
meale
,
thrée
drachmes
,
make
an
oyntment
hereof
to
mundify
these
vlcers
,
for
it
is
very
good
.
Sée
here
the
order
of
cleansing
ointments
.
After
the
vlcer
is
wel
mundified
a
long
time
,
you
must
skinne
with
the
emplaister
of
Diacaletheos
,
or
the
plaister
of
Seruse
,
or
the
red
desiccatiue
plaster
of
Tutia
,
but
this
is
the
best
.
Take
betony
,
centory
the
lesse
agrimony
,
Aristolochia
the
round
,
of
ech
one
ounce
,
of
déere
suet
halfe
an
ounce
,
of
masticke
thrée
drachmes
,
of
aloes
halfe
an

,
of

ounces
,
séethe
the
hearbs
in
good
red

,
and
straine
them
,
then
adde
the
pitch
,
the
wax
,
and
sewet
,
and
séethe
it
againe
,
and
in
the
end
,
adde
Aloes
and
masticke
,
and
make
a
good
incarnatiue
hereof
:
And
note
,
that
if
the
sore
be
very
painefull
,
you
must
asswage
the
griefe
therof
with
a
cataplasme
of
bread
crums
boyled
in
milke
,
and
afterward
with
the
yelkes
of
egs
saffron
,
and
oyle
of
roses
as
much
as
sufficeth
,
apply
it
to
the
painefull
sore
.
Or
foment
the
place
with
the
decoction
of
mallows
,
holihocks
,
camomile
and
melilote
floures
,
and
branne
sodde
in
water
,
and
apply
it
in
way
of
fomentation
to
the
pained
place
.
Lo
héere
the
cure
of
the
plague
sore
,
it
followeth
,
that
we
intreate
of
the
carbuncle
.
Of
the
cure
of
the
Carbuncle
.
THE
Carbuncle
is
a
malignant
pustule
procéeding
from
bloud
very
hote
and
grosse
in
substance
,
which
causeth
the
adustion
thereof
,
an
vlcer
with
an
Eschare
or
crust
in
the
skin
,
swelling
and
red
,
raising
thorow
the
inflammation
thereof
,
those
partes
that
are
néere
about
it
,
and
procuring
excéeding
paine
in
him
that
is
possessed
therewith
.
Which
by
Galen
in
his
second
booke
,
ad
Glauconem
the
sixt
chapter
,
hath
very
learnedly
taught
.
And
of
these
,
though
euery
sort
of
carbuncle
be
malignant
and
dangerous
,
(
as
testifieth
the
same
Author
in
his
third
comentarie
,
on
the
the
third
booke
of
Hippocrates
his
Epidemes
the
xii
.
Aphorisme
,
)
yet
notwithstanding
those
that
haue
not
with
them
a
contagious
and
pestilent
venime
intermixed
,
are
not
so
dangerous
of
death
,
as
they
that
raine
in
the
time
of
the
plague
,
by
reason
of
the
venome
which
is
introduced
into
the
humors
and
masse
of
blood
,
infected
by
the
euil
quality
of
the
aire
,
which
maketh
such
pustules
ouer
and
aboue
their
naturall
malitiousnesse
more
maligne
,
dangerous
,
&
deadly
,
and
accompanied
with
great
and
mortall
accidents
.
And
therefore
in
such
pustules
it
is
necessary
to
take
great
care
and
diligence
in
curing
them
readily
,
and
rooting
out
and
extinguishing
their
venime
,
as
soone
as
may
be
possible
,
which
by
the
meanes
heerevnder
written
,
may
be
orderly
performed
according
to
methode
:
When
as
therefore
the
carbuncle
shall
appéere
in
any
part
of
any
person
,
the
most
soueraigne
remedy
is
by
actuall
fire
applied
vpon
to
pustull
,
to
consume
and
abate
the
venome
;
for
there
is
not
any
thing
that
sooner
mortifieth
and
extinguisheth
the
venime
,
than
fier
:
And
therefore
the
actuall
cautery
,
applied
vpon
the
pustull
,
is
the
souerainty
and
sure
remedy
to
cure
the
same
:
But
diuers
fearefull
patients
wil
not
endure
the
same
,
instéede
thereof
,
therefore
you
shall
apply
vpon
the
carbuncle
these
folowing
remedies
,
which
haue
a
cautsike
vertue
:
Take
an
olde
nutte
or
two
,
barly
flowre
,
small
reasins
,
without
their
stones
,
fat
figges
dried
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
beate
them
all
together
in
a
morter
,
and
afterward
séethe
them
in
wine
and
oyle
of
poppy
,
and
apply
it
vpon
the
carbuncle
,
for
it
mortifieth
the
venome
,
and
helpeth
to
rotte
the
euill
flesh
:
Take
also
two
or
thrée
yelks
of
egges
,
of
pepper
,
a
drachme
,
of
common
salt
,
a
drachme
and
a
halfe
,
of
soot
of
the
chimny
or
ouen
,
halfe
a
drachme
,
mixe
al
together
,
and
make
an
oyntment
thereof
:
or
this
,
Take
of
the
leaues
of
rew
,
halfe
a
little
handfull
;
of
fat
figges
,
sixe
in
number
,
of
pepper
a
drachme
,
of
soote
of
chimny
or
ouen
,
halfe
an
ounce
,
two
yelks
of
egges
,
of
safforne
,
halfe
a
drachme
,
of
fresh
capons
greace
without
salt
,
one
ounce
,
and
with
the
Iuice
of
scabious
,
make
an
oyntment
which
is
very
excellent
.
For
it
suffereth
not
the
venime
to
procéede
any
further
,
but
openeth
the
carbuncle
very
quickly
and
maketh
a
good
eschare
:
Or
do
thus
:
take
of
fat
figs
,
halfe
a
pound
,
of
mustard-séed
thrée
ounces
,
of
oyle
of
white
lillies
,
as
much
as
sufficeth
to
incorporate
them
,
make
a
plaster
hereof
,
and
apply
it
vpon
the
carbuncle
.
The
oyntment
called
Basilicon
mixed
with
halfe
an
ounce
of
good
treacle
of
mythridate
and
the
iuyce
of
Scabious
is
maruellous
good
,
and
appropriate
,
as
also
the
yelke
of
an
egge
,
incorporate
with
salt
;
and
the
iuyce
of
scabious
is
a
singular
medicine
,
and
very
common
.
The
simple
medicines
that
are
conuenient
in
this
case
is
scabious
pounded
betwéeue
two
stones
,
and
applyed
;
the
hearbe
also
which
is
caled
Cauda
Equina
,
that
is
to
say
,
horse
taile
,
which
is
a
kinde
of
comfery
,
and
Verbascum
which
the
Apoticaries
call
Tapsus
Barbalus
&
the
english
,
hearb
Mullen
,
is
a
good
remedy
:
The
like
qualitie
is
by
diuers
of
our
Maisters
ascribed
to
the
Saphire
,
which
hath
the
vertue
to
extinguish
the
venime
of
the
carbuncle
,
if
the
sore
be
diuerse
times
touched
with
that
stone
:
Mythridate
also
or
treacle
are
very
good
to
be
layd
therevnto
,
and
old
nuttes
applied
with
dryed
figges
.
And
note
,
that
as
soone
as
the
carbuncle
appéereth
,
it
is
good
to
scarifie
it
round
about
,
with
the
rasor
(
as
Galen
in
the
xiiii
.
booke
of
his
Methode
saith
)
or
to
apply
horse-leaches
to
draw
the
venimous
blood
outward
:
these
are
the
remedies
which
you
must
presently
lay
vpon
the
carbuncle
.
But
round
about
the
partes
that
are
néere
the
sore
,
you
must
apply
repercussiue
medicines
,
for
feare
lest
the
venime
attaint
them
;
to
which
effect
the
vnguent
de
bolo
is
the
chiefest
and
most
ordinary
meanes
applyed
round
about
:
For
it
conforteth
the
part
,
and
repulseth
the
venime
.
You
shall
therefore
do
thus
:
Take
of
oyle
of
roses
thrée
ounces
,
of
rose
vineger
one
ounce
,
of
Bole
Armenus
,
an
ounce
and
a
halfe
,
make
an
oyntment
thereof
,
and
apply
it
round
about
the
carbuncle
:
Or
thus
:
take
oyle
of
roses
Omphacine
(
made
of
gréene
oliues
)
wine
of
pomgranats
one
or
two
ounces
,
Bole
Armenus
(
and
Terra
Sigillata
for
the
rich
)
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
,
make
an
oyntment
thereof
,
and
apply
it
round
about
the
carbuncle
:
Galen
maketh
a
plaster
of
plantane
&
pomegranets
with
theyr
rindes
and
houshold
bread
,
and
boyleth
them
in
strong
wine
,
adding
lintels
vnto
them
:
Or
take
lintells
,
crummes
of
browne
bread
and
bran
,
and
boyle
them
in
vineger
&
make
a
plaster
of
them
;
you
may
make
the
like
also
of
sowre
pomegranets
,
cut
into
quarters
,
with
their
rinde
,
and
sodde
in
vineger
,
til
they
be
brought
to
a
pulpe
,
beate
them
and
apply
them
about
the
carbuncle
:
Or
else
thus
:
Take
of
oyle
of
roses
as
much
as
sufficeth
,
dissolue
in
it
Bole
Armenus
,
Sanguis
Draconis
or
beaten
galls
,
and
make
an
oyntment
to
the
same
vse
.
The
whites
of
egges
likewise
beaten
,
with
rose
vineger
&
rosewater
,
and
clouts
stéeped
in
that
liquor
,
may
be
ministred
round
about
the
sore
:
Then
are
those
medicines
that
defence
the
partes
from
the
venime
of
the
carbuncle
.
Hitherto
I
haue
taught
both
what
should
be
applied
vppon
,
and
round
about
the
sore
;
it
remaineth
now
to
set
downe
the
meanes
how
to
breake
the
carbuncle
,
which
are
these
:
Take
of
Opoponax
thrée
drachmes
,
of
fat
figs
,
an
ounce
;
of
currans
,
as
much
;
of
leuen
,
halfe
an
ounce
,
beate
and
mixe
al
together
and
apply
it
on
the
carbuncle
.
The
doung
of
a
man
also
is
a
fit
remedy
,
but
for
that
it
is
filthy
,
vse
better
▪
yet
wanteth
it
not
his
effect
.
Take
the
yelke
of
an
egge
and
a
little
salt
,
and
incorporate
them
with
the
iuyce
of
scabious
,
and
minister
it
.
Or
do
after
this
maner
:
Take
strong
leuen
one
ounce
,
of
scabious
and
the
greater
comfery
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
of
smal
reasins
without
their
stones
,
half
an
ounce
,
Cantarides
,
sixe
in
number
,
of
sparrowes
doung
thrée
drachmes
,
incorporate
all
with
oyle
of
white
lillies
.
This
also
is
good
:
Take
of
fatte
figges
,
thrée
ounces
;
of
leuen
,
two
ounces
;
of
mustard
seede
,

,
of
each
an

,
of
common

as
much
as
sufficeth
,
mixe
al
together
and
apply
it
.
To
make
the
Eschare
or
dead

to
fall
out
of
the
carbuncle
.
TAke
fresh
butter
and
capons
greace
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
and
the
yelke
of
an
egge
,
mix
them
together
,
and
minister
it
:
you
may
likewise
adde
an
ounce
of
Basilicon
:
take
also
of
the
roots
of
holihockes
two
handfulls
,
of
buglosse
,
a

,
séethe
them
in

,
and

them
togither
,
and

,
and
adde

Or
take
of
holi-hocke
roots
,
of
beare-foote
,
of
mallowes
,

mixe
them
with
fresh

greace
,
apply
them
to
the
sore
till
the
eschare
fall
.
Rasis
made
a
plaster
of
hony
and
Sarcacoll
of
each
a
like
,
and
ministred
the
same
:
After
the
Eschare
is
falne
,
you
must
mundifie
the
vlcer
with
one
of
those
mundifiers
,
which
are
described
in
the
twentieth
chapter
,
and
then
when
the
carbuncle
shal
be
well
purged
from
matter
and
corruption
and
yéeldeth
no
more
,
incarnate
the

of
these
according
to
art
,
and
apply

till

be

cicatrized
:
And
because
in
carbuncles
,
there
ordinary

some
deformed

,
after
they
are
healed
,
to
repaire
and

vntill
such
time
as
all
the
sharpenesse
thereof
be
taken
away
,
mixe
the
same
with
oyle
of
roses
in
a
leaden
morter
,
and
stirre
it
well
,
and
you
shall
haue
a
good
oyntment
to
repaire
the
deformed
cicatrises
which
are
left
after
carbuncles

This
is
the
whole

of
the

of

Chap.

The
maner
how
to
withstand
the
most
vrgent
accidents
that
happen
in
the
pestilent
feuer
,
the
Botch
and
Carbuncle
.
THE
most
troublesome
and
dangerous
accidents
in
this
sickenesse
,
are
weakenesse
of
vertue
,
faintings
of
the
heart
,
soundings
,
rauing
,
or
frensie
,
extreame
drith
,
profound
sléepe
,
or
continuall
waking
,
crampes
,
coldnesse
of
the
extreame
parts
,
which
we
ought
diuersly
to
correct
,
according
as
the
nature
of
each
of
them
requireth
.
The
féeblenesse
of
vertue
(
which
may
be
knowne
by
the
weaknesse
of
the
pulse
,
palenesse
of
the
face
,
and
dulnesse
of
the
patient
)
may
be
preuented
or
corrected
by
comforting
the
sicke
by
good
and
cordiall
broths
and
colices
,
cawdles
,
or
such
like
,
with
good
wine
also
,
(
as
Galen
commandeth
in
the
twelfth
booke
of
his
Methode
)
ministring
it
but
little
in
quantitie
,
and
alayed
with
water
,
or
to
make
him
take
a
toste
of
bread
with
sugar
&
cinamon
stéeped
in
good
white
or
claret
wine
:
you
shall
giue
him
Diamargariton
Manus
Christi
with
pearles
,
and
amongest
al
the
medicines
that
are
proper
to
comfort
the
vertue
,
the
confection
Alchermes
described
by
Mesue
in
his
Antidotary
)
is
allowed
,
which
hath
maruelous
force
and
efficacie
to
restore
vertue
almost
extinct
in
the
sicke
,
as
by
diuerse
experiments
I
am
able
to
auow
,
to
the
valew
of
a
drachme
in
buglosse
water
or
white
wine
:
It
shal
be
good
also
to
comfort
the
patient
,
to
incourage
him
with
friendly
words
,
to
embolden
him
,
&
extinguish
his
feare
,
for
these
meanes
both
quicken
and
strengthen
vertue
.
The
faintings
of
the
heart
(
which
the
Gréekes
call
Lipothimiae
)
may
be
eased
by
the
Electuary
of
Diamargariton
,
or
the
powlder
thereof
,
annexing
vnto
it
the
powlder
of
Electuarium
de
gemmis
,
or
a
little
of
the
powlder
of
Diamosci
dulcis
giuen
in
white
wine
,
or
buglosse
,
or
scabious
water
,
to
the
valew
of
a
drachme
.
And
in
this
accident
you
must
comfort
the
sick
with
good
odors
,
and
rubbe
the
pulses
of
his
armes
and
his
temples
with
rose
water
and
rose
vineger
,
or
with
the
mixture
of
rose
water
,
rose
vineger
,
the
powlder
of
cloues
and
cinamon
:
and
if
the
patient
be
bound
,
it
wil
be
good
to
giue
him
a
clister
of
the
decoction
of
mallowes
,
béetes
,
borage
,
mercury
,
mellon
séedes
,
and
a
little
annice
séede
,
and
branne
,
and
dissolue
therein
an
ounce
of
Catholicon
,
or
Cassia
,
oyle
of
violettes
,
and
grosse
sugar
.
If
the
sicke
fall
into
a
sound
,
giue
him
sodainely
two
or
thrée
spoonefuls
of
pure
wine
,
(
as
Galen
commaundeth
in
the
twelfth
of
his
Methode
)
and
in
such
a
case
it
is
good
to
giue
him
foure
graines
of
muske
,
dissolued
in
good
wine
and
buglosse
water
,
if
the
Feuer
be
not
ouer
vehement
:
or
instéede
of
this
remedie
,
giue
him
this
drinke
folowing
:
Take
of
powlder
of
cloues
halfe
a
drachme
,
of
the
powlder
of
pearles
and
corrall
,
of
each
halfe
a
drachme
,
make
a
drinke
with
buglosse
water
,
and
a
little
good
white
wine
or
claret
wine
.
And
in
such
an
accident
you
must
crie
vpon
the
sicke
,
rubbe
him
violently
,
make
him
smel
rose
water
and
muske
,
or
giue
him
a
drachme
of
the
confection
Alchermes
,
with
buglosse
water
,
and
a
little
wine
:
and
halfe
a
drachme
of
pearles
for
the
rich
:
and
for
the
poore
,
the
powlder
of
cloues
.
And
if
he
abound
in
cholerike
humors
,
purge
him
with
a
little
rubarbe
,
or
the
Electuary
of
the
Iuyce
of
roses
,
or
the
sirrope
of
roses
.
It
is
good
also
to
cast
fresh
water
very
oftentimes
in
his
face
,
for
it
quickeneth
the
decayed
spirites
:
These
are
the
remedies
for
soundings
:
If
the
patient
fall
a
rauing
,
you
must
giue
him
some
spéedy
euacuation
to
diuert
the
humors
lest
they
mount
to
the
braine
,
you
must
therefore
rubbe
the
lower
partes
very
often
,
and
apply
ligatures
to
the
extremities
,
and
make
him
take
sirrope
of
poppy
with
water
of
the
decoction
of
lettuce
,
purselane
,
or
sorrell
,
and
wash
his
féete
and
armes
with
the
warme
decoction
of
the
leaues
of
willow
,
vine
leaues
,
lettice
,
floures
of
roses
and
lillies
,
camomile
,
and
the
tops
of
white
poppy
,
boyled
in
water
:
and
kéepe
the
patient
in
silence
and
in
a
secret
place
,
and
to
beware
that
he
speak
not
,
as
much
as
is
possible
:
and
if
the
raging
be
ouerfurious
,
you
ought
to
binde
him
,
and
to
take
all
thinges
from
him
that
may
hurt
him
,
as
all
sorts
of
armor
,
and
other
offensible
things
finally
to
procure
him
to
sléepe
.
The
extreame
thirst
that
presseth
the
patient
,
must
be
eased
by
drincking
fréely
,
(
as
Paulus
Aegineta
and
Auicen
commaund
)
and
his
drinke
shall
be
fresh
water
in
great
quantitie
,
if
the
patient
be
yoong
and
strong
,
or
mixed
with
sirope
of
limons
,
or
sower
grapes
,
or
sirop
of
violets
:
And
note
that
he
must
drink
largely
and
aboundantly
to
extinguish
the
heate
of
the
feuer
that
burneth
him
inwardly
:
for
,
to
drincke
in
little
quantitie
,
rather
inflameth
,
then
cooleth
the
same
:
And
therefore
the
aboue
named
Authors
will
,
that
in
the
pestilent
feuer
we
should
allow
aboundance
of
drinke
,
for
it
either
prouoketh
vomite
,
or
sweate
,
or
extinguisheth
the
feuer
:
heauinesse
of
sléep
must
be
remedied
by
strong
rubbings
of
the
féete
and
handes
,
by
often
calling
on
the
sicke
,
by
kéeping
him
in
a
lightsome
chamber
,
by
clapping
cupping
glasses
,
with
scarification
to
the
nape
of
his
necke
,
by
sharpe
clisters
made
with
the
decoction
of
mallowes
,
holihockes
,
béetes
,
hisope
,
bitony
,
rew
,
sage
,
and
the
lesser
centory
,
of
each
a
handfull
;
agaric
two
drachmes
,
polipody
an
ounce
,
coloquintida
a
drachme
,
branne
a
handfull
,
let
all
be
boyled
in
water
,
and
strayned
,
to
which
you
may
adde
of
catholicon
one
ounce
,
of
the
electuary
of
Indie
,
or
Hiera
piera
composita
halfe
an
ounce
,
of
salt
a
drachme
,
of
common
hony
,
halfe
an
ounce
:
make
hereof
a
clister
,
which
he
may
take
in
the
morning
,
or
after
supper
,
during
his
heauines
,
Subeth
and
déepe
sléepe
.
It
is
good
also
to
make
him
smel
to
the
powlder
of
burnt
haire
mixed
with
vineger
,
for
it
awaketh
him
much
.
And
if
contrariwise
the
patient
cannot
sléepe
,
you
shall
giue
him
two
ounces
of
the
sirope
of
poppy
,
or
one
ounce
,
an
houre
before
he
take
rest
,
with
the
decoction
of
lettuce
,
and
poppy
séede
,
and
you
shal
annoynt
his
forehead
with
vnguentum
populeonis
,
or
alittle
of
the
séedes
of
white
poppy
and
annice
:
you
may
annoynt
his
nosthrills
also
with
the
oyles
of
poppy
and
violets
,
with
a
graine
of
Opium
,
and
saffron
incorporated
together
,
if
necessity
require
it
,
and
not
otherwise
:
If
the
patient
be
seazed
with
the
cramp
(
which
is
a
mortal
signe
,
and
after
which
few
escape
,
as
Hippocrates
testifieth
in
his
second
booke
2●
Aphorisme
)
yet
must
we
notwithstanding
assist
all
that
wée
may
,
and
annoynt
the
nape
of
his
necke
with
oyles
of
white
lillies
and
violets
,
and
make
him
holde
in
his
mouth
a
péece
of
nutmeg
,
and
chew
it
often
,
you
shall
likewise
giue
him
lenitiue
and
no
sharp
clisters
,
and
make
him
drincke
barly
water
with
sirrope
of
violets
,
and
moysten
him
with
good
brothes
,
for
the
cramp
very
often
commeth
of
emptines
,
and
is
commonly
mortall
:
if
the
extreame
partes
be
colde
in
a
pestilent
feuer
,
or
other
sharpe
sickenesse
,
it
signifieth
the
weakenesse
and
mortification
of
naturall
heate
,
and
(
for
the
most
part
)
betokeneth
death
.
In
this
case
we
must
minister
vnto
his
handes
and
féete
with
hote
cloathes
,
and
chafe
them
,
and
giue
him
a
little
wine
to
quicken
naturall
heate
,
and
make
him
holde
a
clowt
in
his
mouth
,
and
giue
him
the
powlder
of
Diacameron
,
or
Diamoscum
,
and
kéep
him
warme
in
his
bed
,
and
take
héede
that
no
colde
touch
him
:
But
when
the
poore
patient
is
come
to
this
estate
,
there
is
litle
hope
of
them
,
as
testifieth
Hippocrates
in
the
fourth
of
his
Aphorismes
,
Aphorisme
48.
for
it
is
a
signe
that
death
is
at
hand
.
Chap.

The
order
and
gouernment
they
ought
to
obserue
who
assist
and
serue
those
that
are
sicke
of
the
plague
.
IT
is
a
matter
most
euident
,
that
they
that
dwell
continually
with
those
that
are
infected
with
the
plague
,
are
in
great
danger
to
receiue
the
same
infection
from
those
that
are
sicke
,
by
reason
they
haunt
with
them
night
and
day
,
receiue
their
breaths
,
and
smell
their
corruptions
,
and
sucke
the
infected
ayre
of
the
infected
houses
wherein
they
conuerse
;
which
is
a
thing
very
dangerous
,
as
Galen
witnesseth
in
the
first
booke
de
differentijs
febrium
cap.
2.
For
which
cause
,
they
that
are
resolued
to
kéepe
them
that
are
sick
of
the
plague
,
ought
to
haue
a
great
care
of
themselues
for
feare
they
be
infected
.
And
first
of
all
,
they
must
haue
recourse
vnto
God
,
beséeching
him
to
preserue
them
,
to
the
end
that
being
thus
assisted
by
his
grace
they
may
the
better
accomplish
this
charitable
office
to
the
sicke
,
and
succor
and
serue
them
to
their
vttermost
;
which
is
an
action
that
pleaseth
Almighty
God
.
Folowing
then
the
order
prescribed
in
the
second
,
third
,
fourth
,
and
fift
chapter
of
this
treatise
,
he
shall
vse
those
preseruatiues
there
described
according
to
his
complexion
,
age
,
strength
,
and
the
nature
of
these
humors
that
abound
in
him
,
taking
fit
medicines
or
pills
,
powlders
,
opiates
,
or
tablets
against
the
plague
.
treacle
,
or
mithridate
according
to
the
forme
we
haue
set
downe
in
the
places
afore
alleaged
,
continuing
the
same
without
intermission
.
When
hee
shall
visit
the
sicke
,
hée
must
not
approch
ouer
néere
vnto
him
,
for
feare
he
receiue
his
breath
,
but
stand
farre
off
him
,
especially
,
if
he
be
fasting
.
Also
before
he
enter
into
the
sicke
mans
Chamber
,
let
him
perfume
it
,
and
cause
the
windowes
to
be
opened
,
and
make
a
good
fire
therein
of
rosemary
or
iuniper
.
Hée
shall
holde
in
his
mouth
,
an
Angelica
or
zedoary
roote
,
or
a
cloue
,
or
the
rinde
of
a
citron
,
orenge
,
or
limon
.
He
shall
wash
his
handes
,
face
,
forehead
,
and
temples
with
vineger
and
rose
water
,
and
if
he
haue
leisure
,
doe
the
like
vnder
his
arme-pits
,
and
in
other
emunctory
places
,
but
this
is
not
alwayes
sure
and
easie
to
be
done
:
He
shall
oftentimes
,
and
almost
euery
day
change
his
garments
and
linen
,
and
carry
in
his
hand
apples
,
pomanders
,
orenges
,
or
limons
to
smell
to
.
He
shall
holde
a
spunge
steeped
in
rose
water
,
vineger
,
white
wine
,
besprinckled
with
the
powlder
of
cloues
,
zedoary
,
and
Angelica
,
to
which
hée
shall
often
smell
,
and
with
some
of
the
same
liquor
he
shal
gargarise
his
mouth
and
throate
.
He
shall
perfume
al
the
house
and
chamber
of
the
sicke
thrice
a
day
,
and
oftner
in
summer
,
because
the
dayes
are
longer
.
When
he
commeth
to
touch
the
sicke
,
he
shall
cause
him
to
turne
his
face
from
him
,
lest
he
breathe
vpon
him
,
and
he
likewise
that
performeth
this
office
,
shall
doe
the
like
for
his
better
securitie
,
he
shall
kéepe
himselfe
cleanely
,
purge
often
with
the
pilles
against
the
plague
,
or
other
fit
medicines
:
He
shall
be
sober
in
his
diet
,
and
auoyde
all
superfluous
meate
and
drinke
:
he
must
be
merry
and
lightsome
,
and
driue
away
all
feare
,
sadnesse
,
and
melancholy
:
For
those
that
are
fittest
to
be
imployed
in
this
matter
,
are
such
as
haue
a
good
courage
,
and
are
merry
,
pleasant
,
and
well
complexioned
that
despise
the
danger
of
death
,
and
are
ready
to
doe
seruice
to
their
parents
and
frends
,
wiues
or
children
.
These
in
trueth
are
they
that
in
these
times
are
in
least
danger
,
and
whom
God
(
foreséeing
their
good
zeale
)
protects
by
his
mercy
,
preseruing
them
from
so
great
danger
.
Neuerthelesse
in
this
time
men
ought
not
to
be
too
rash
or
hazardous
,
nor
trust
too
much
to
their
complexions
,
youth
,
vertue
,
and
force
of
body
.
For
the
secret
venome
of
the
plague
preuenteth
all
this
,
and
except
a
man
be
wary
and
prudent
,
it
wil
then
seaze
him
when
he
least
suspecteth
:
because
a
venime
of
that
nature
is
accustomed
to
lie
hidden
in
the
body
a
long
time
without
any
effect
,
or
at
leastwise
notable
impression
,
after
the
nature
of
the
byting
of
a
madde
dogge
,
which
sodainely
before
it
be
discouered
takes
a
lamentable
effect
.
For
which
cause
men
ought
not
to
be
so
bolde
and
rash
as
to
expose
themselues
to
such
dangers
,
except
necessitie
constraineth
them
to
succour
their
parents
,
or
faithful
friends
,
to
whom
,
by
lawe
of
nature
,
they
are
tied
:
Neyther
on
the
contrary
side
shoulde
they
be
too
feareful
,
and
so
cowardly
,
as
to
forsake
their
fathers
,
mothers
,
wiues
and
children
for
feare
of
death
,
but

Chap.

.
The
manner
how
to
cleanse
the
houses
and
places
that
are
infected
,
the
woollen
and
linnen
,
and
the
moouables
of
the
same
:
And
how
long
they
may
remaine
infected
,
if
they
be
not
well
cleansed
,
and
in
what
time
they
may
be
reputed
cleane
.
I
Haue
héeretofore
declared
in
the
first
Chapter
of
this
Treatise
,
that
the
Plague
is
a
contagious
sicknesse
,
rauishing
life
by
the
malignity
thereof
,
and
because
that
the
contagion
of
the
same
(
which
is
no
other
thing
but
a
like
disposition
by
a
certaine
hidden
consent
communicated
by
touch
vnto
another
)
it
remaineth
long
time
hidden
,
in
such
things
as
may
receiue
the
same
such
as
are
the
aire
of
the
house
infected
,
the
walls
,
the
garments
of
woollen
,
linnen
,
cotten
,
fether
,
and
such
like
,
it
is
therefore
necessary
to
know
how
to
clense
the
houses
of
those
that
haue
bin
infected
with
the
plague
,
to
the
end
,
that
after
they
that
haue
béene
infected
,
shall
returne
to
their
houses
,
they
may
not
be
infected
anew
,
by
reason
their
garments
,
couerlets
,
beds
,
and
such
like
,
haue
not
béene
well
ayred
and
clensed
.
And
therefore
,
by
way
of
aduertisement
to
all
in
generall
,
euery
one
during
the
time
of
the
plague
,
ought
to
shut
vp
his
best
moouables
in
a
place
apart
,
that
is
cleane
&
neate
,
and
to
forbeare
the
vse
thereof
,
I
say
,
they
ought
to
shutte
vp
their
linnen
,
tapistry
and
couerlets
,
and
onely
reserue
some
to
their
ordinarie
vse
:
For
where
there
is
a
pestilent
sickenesse
in
a
house
,
it
continually
infecteth
the
ayre
where
it
raigneth
,
the
garments
,
couerlets
,
bedding
,
and
shéetes
,
and
all
things
that
are
capable
thereof
:
or
either
receiue
the
breath
,
sweat
,
spittings
,
or
vapor
that
issueth
from
the
sick
,
and
al
things
that
are
of
a
slender
substance
,
and
full
of
pores
,
are
fit
to
receiue
,
and
that
verie
easily
,
such
infection
,
as
are
woollen
,
linnen
,
cotten
and
feathers
:
wherefore
it
behooueth
aboue
all
other
things
,
that
such
houshold-stuffe
be
carefully
cleansed
,
aired
,
washed
,
and
purged
.
For
if
they
be
once
attaynted
,
they
long
time
retaine
the
infection
in
them
,
because
the
venime
inbibeth
and
incorporateth
it self
in
their
substance
very
vehemently
,
by
reason
of
the
spongines
and
thinnest
of
these
things
:
and
as
oyle
,
pitch
,
and
rosin
and
such
like
norish
,
conserue
,
and
augment
the
fire
,
in
that
they
yéeld
it
a
conuenient
matter
,
so
likewise
doth
woollen
,
cotten
,
fethers
,
linnen
,
and
such
like
nourish
and
entertaine
for
a
long
time
,
that
infection
which
is
imparted
vnto
them
from
the
sicke
,
retaining
the
pestilent
venime
,
conceiued
in
them
for
a
long
time
:
Euen
as
we
sée
chists
and
coffers
where
we
lay
swéet
bags
to
perfume
our
linnen
or
garments
doe
long
time
retaine
that
odor
which
we
laid
on
them
,
as
lauender
,
roses
,
oringes
,
and
such
like
,
which
sort
of
odour
is
maintained
a
long
time
in
these
garments
,
and
linnen
,
as
experience
teacheth
vs
,
which
also
we
sée
in
Cotton
wherein
a
man
hath
wrapped
muske
or
ciuet
,
which
keepeth
the
said
odour
an
infinite
time
.
The
which
the
Poet
Horace
hath
aptly
expressed
in
this
verse
.
Quo
semel
est
imbuta
recens
seruabit
odorem
Testa
diu
—
The
vessel
long
time
will
retaine
The
odor
which
it
first
did
gaine
.
Since
therefore
such
infection
may
long
time
remaine
hidden
in
the
things
aforesaide
,
wée
ought
very
diligently
to
cleanse
them
after
this
forme
that
ensueth
.
The
garments
of
such
as
are
dead
of
the
plague
,
if
they
be
rich
,
ought
to
be
burned
,
according
as
the
custome
is
in
Italy
:
or
if
poore
)
whose
misery
is
such
,
as
they
cannot
buy
new
)
let
the
cloathes
they
haue
vsed
,
be
bucked
and
washed
in
lie
,
and
oftentimes
exposed
to
the
northerly
winde
and
sunne
,
and
perfumed
with
rosemary
,
Iuniper
,
and
such
like
,
and
in
time
of
drith
be
exposed
to
the
Northerne
ayre
,
which
drieth
al
infectious
vapors
;
for
the
garments
that
are
infected
,
may
retaine
the
same
foure
yeares
,
nay
the
feather-beds
seauen
yéeres
,
as
Alexander
Benedictus
testifieth
.
Note
also
that
feather-beds
,
cannot
be
cleared
except
the
tikes
be
opened
,
and
the
downe
be
ayred
,
till
a
moneth
or
forty
dayes
be
past
,
in
which
time
they
may
be
purified
.
Let
each
bench
,
wenscote
,
and
other
tables
of
the
house
be
thorowly
washed
with
water
and
vineger
,
so
that
no
sluttish
corner
be
left
:
Let
the
windowes
by
day
be
kept
open
to
the
north
,
and
shut
when
the
south
wind
bloweth
:
Thus
in
xxiiii
.
dayes
may
the
wooden
implements
be
ayred
.
If
any
sicke
man
hath
afore
worne
a
furr'd
gowne
,
let
each
man
beware
how
he
weareth
it
after
,
for
furre
is
too
apt
to
take
infection
,
as
appeareth
in
those
xxv
.
hie
Almaines
,
of
whom
Hierome
Fracastorius
maketh
mention
,
who
in
the
yeare
1511.
in
Verona
died
one
after
another
,
til
al
were
made
away
by
wearing
of
that
gowne
.
The
surgeon
that
hath
assisted
the
sicke
after
xl
.
dayes
triall
may
be
admitted
to
conuerse
the
Citty
,
and
so
the
rest
after
sixty
(
so
preseruatiues
and
purges
haue
béene
obserued
,
and
especialy
,
so
mirth
,
ioy
,
and
pleasure
haue
been
their
companions
:
)
if
men
obserue
these
precepts
,
they
may
by
Gods
helpe
,
and
by
kéeping
good
order
,
auoyde
the
plague
by
those
meanes
I
haue
discouered
,
by
which
helps
there
wil
be
no
humors
capable
of
infection
,
and
where
there
is
no
matter
fit
to
receiue
the
same
,
there
can
it
not
surprise
any
man
.
Generall
rules
to
bee
obserued
by
all
men
in
the
plague
time
.
FIrst
must
we
call
vpon
God
,
desiring
him
to
defend
vs
:
secondly
,
but
especially
(
when
we
are
fasting
)
we
ought
to
flie
from
the
conuersation
of
those
that
are
infected
:
Let
the
wind
be
betwéene
thée
and
the
person
that
is
sicke
,
or
some
perfume
be
kindled
,
or
hold
in
thy
hand
some
odoriferous
perfume
.
Fly
the
narrow
wayes
and
stréets
where
are
dunghils
:
hant
no
vaine
assemblies
of
feasts
,
but
if
thy
meanes
be
to
follow
Hippocrates
rule
.
Fuge
longe
,
cito
,
Tarde
:
or
if
thou
must
néeds
stay
,
be
temperate
,
aduised
&
deuout
,
and
God
shal
blesse
thée
,
to
whose
mercy
,
and
thy
harty
praiers
I
humbly
commend
me
.
