A
Treatise
of
the
Pestilence
:
wherein
is
shewed
all
the
causes
thereof
,
with
most
assured
preseruatiues
against
all
infection
.
THis
contagious
sicknes
which
is
generally
called
the
Plague
or
Pestilence
,
is
no
other
thing
then
a
corrupt
and
venemous
aire
,
deadly
enemie
vnto
the
vital
spirits
:
most
commonly
Now
hauing
briefly
defined
what
the
Pestilence
is
,
I
will
(
God
assisting
me
)
prosecute
mine
intended
purpose
.
First
,
in
shewing
all
the
causes
thereof
,
and
the
cure
,
and
remedie
for
euerie
cause
.
Entring
into
due
consideration
of
the
causes
of
the
Pestilence
that
now
raigneth
,
Christian
Reader
,
I
find
there
are
thrée
causes
thereof
.
The
first
and
chiefest
is
sinne
.
The
second
is
the
corruption
of
the
aire
.
The
third
and
last
cause
,
is
the
euill
disposition
of
the
body
,
bred
by
euill
diet
,
and
the
abuse
of
things
called
Res
non
naturales
,
things
not
natural
:
not
so
called
,
for
that
they
are
against
nature
,
but
because
through
the
abuse
of
them
nature
is
debilitated
,
corrupted
,
and
oftentimes
vtterly
destroyed
.
The
first
cause
,
I
say
,
is
sinne
.
The
holy
Scriptures
sufficiently
proueth
the
same
,
and
giueth
manie
examples
long
will
this
people
prouoke
me
?
and
how
long
will
it
be
ere
they
beleeue
me
,
for
all
the
signes
I
haue
shewed
among
them
?
I
will
smite
them
with
the
pestilence
,
and
will
destroy
them
,
and
will
make
thee
a
greater
&
mightier
nation
then
they
.
Why
doth
the
Lord
here
threaten
the
children
of
Israel
his
chosen
,
to
strike
them
with
the
Pestilence
?
the
reason
is
shewed
in
the
same
chapter
:
because
(
saith
he
)
they
haue
murmured
against
me
,
and
haue
rebelled
,
not
keeping
nor
obseruing
my
lawes
.
And
as
the
Lord
spake
vnto
the
children
of
Israel
by
Moses
,
so
speaketh
he
vnto
vs
dayly
by
his
ministers
and
preachers
of
his
word
.
Also
reade
Deuteronomy
the
28.
chap.
the
1.
2.
3.
and
4.
verses
,
and
there
you
shall
sée
the
blessings
that
the
Lord
promiseth
vnto
them
,
that
walke
in
his
waies
and
But
if
thou
wilt
not
obey
the
voice
of
the
Lord
thy
God
,
and
keep
and
doe
his
commandements
:
The
Lord
shall
make
the
pestilence
to
cleaue
vnto
thee
.
And
many
more
curses
hee
pronounceth
against
them
that
continue
in
their
sin
and
iniquitie
of
life
.
And
further
,
The
Lord
shal
smite
thee
with
a
consumption
,
&
with
a
feuer
,
and
with
a
burning
ague
,
and
so
forth
.
This
spake
the
Lord
vnto
the
children
of
Israel
his
people
,
and
this
speaketh
the
Lord
daily
vnto
vs
:
but
we
are
slow
to
repentance
and
amendment
of
life
.
Reade
Leuiticus
the
26.
chap.
and
the
21.
verse
.
And
if
you
walke
stubbornly
against
me
(
saith
the
Lord
)
and
will
not
obey
my
word
,
I
will
bring
seuen
times
more
plagues
vpon
you
,
according
vnto
your
sinnes
.
And
in
the
third
verse
following
he
saith
:
I
will
send
the
pestilence
among
you
,
and
you
shall
bee
deliuered
into
the
hands
of
your
enemies
.
This
spake
the
Lord
vnto
the
inhabitants
of
Ierusalem
,
and
this
speaketh
hee
vnto
vs
oftentimes
by
his
Ministers
,
whom
we
ought
with
all
reuerence
to
heare
,
and
with
all
diligence
to
follow
.
Many
more
places
could
I
cite
and
inferre
out
of
the
sacred
Scriptures
,
to
proue
sinne
to
be
a
cause
of
the
Pestilence
,
and
sometime
the
onely
cause
thereof
:
example
in
Dauid
:
example
in
Pharao
,
and
diuers
other
,
which
for
prolixitie
I
omit
,
hoping
this
may
suffice
to
proue
sinne
to
bee
a
cause
of
the
Pestilence
,
which
is
indéede
as
a
messenger
or
executioner
sometimes
of
Gods
iustire
.
Manie
and
great
plagues
hath
this
our
land
tasted
of
in
times
past
,
and
it
is
not
yet
tenne
yeares
since
this
Citie
of
London
was
visited
and
afflicted
with
this
sicknes
,
dispersing
it selfe
into
diuers
and
many
places
of
this
land
,
cutting
off
and
taking
away
a
great
multitude
of
people
:
and
I
doubt
not
but
sin
was
a
great
cause
thereof
.
O
that
man
would
therefore
remember
the
inconstancie
and
srailtie
of
this
life
!
And
consider
the
end
of
his
creation
was
to
serue
and
glorifie
God
:
but
we
daily
dishonour
him
by
committing
of
sinne
,
and
not
giuing
vnto
him
that
honor
and
seruice
that
is
due
vnto
the
Lord
:
But
placing
all
our
affections
vpon
the
vaine
delights
and
inconstant
pleasures
of
this
alluring
and
deceitfull
world
,
which
do
as
it
were
bewitch
vs
,
and
withdrawe
vs
from
that
Christian
care
that
we
ought
to
haue
of
our
saluation
,
abusing
Gods
mercie
and
long
sufferance
with
our
delayes
and
procrastination
to
turne
vnto
him
,
being
misebly
deluded
by
satan
,
and
intised
by
the
glittering
shewes
of
this
world
,
to
the
loue
thereof
;
and
God
knowes
how
soone
we
must
leaue
it
.
I
pray
God
infuse
his
grace
and
holy
Spirit
into
our
hearts
,
that
sinne
may
be
mortified
in
vs
,
and
that
it
may
worke
in
vs
a
reformation
and
amendment
of
life
:
&
that
we
may
henceforth
walk
in
this
our
short
pilgrimage
,
as
Christians
and
seruants
of
the
Lord
,
seruing
him
in
all
holinesse
and
pietie
of
life
,
contemning
the
vaine
pleasures
of
this
fraudulent
world
,
which
are
but
snares
to
intrap
our
soules
,
and
the
baites
of
Sathan
to
draw
vs
vnto
destruction
:
then
shall
we
not
need
to
feare
death
,
but
say
with
Saint
Paul
,
Mors
mihi
lucrum
,
Death
vnto
me
is
gaine
,
saith
he
:
so
is
it
indéed
vnto
all
the
godly
:
but
vnto
the
wicked
it
is
an
entrance
into
a
continuall
and
eternall
punishment
:
from
the
which
Christ
that
hath
died
for
vs
,
deliuer
vs
.
Amen
.
Now
hauing
shewed
sin
to
be
one
cause
of
the
Pestilence
,
and
sometimes
the
onely
cause
,
when
it
pleaseth
God
to
punish
the
impietie
of
his
people
,
vsing
it
as
the
executioner
of
his
wrath
:
it
followeth
that
I
shewe
the
other
causes
,
whereof
the
Pestilence
may
arise
.
The
second
cause
,
is
the
corruption
of
the
aire
.
Galen
the
most
excellent
and
famous
Physition
in
his
booke
de
Differentijs
Febrium
,
saith
,
there
be
two
causes
●en
.
de
diff

cap

.
de

.
2.
cause
is
corruption
he
aire
.
third
he
is
the
e●disposition
●e
body
.
of
the
Pestilence
:
Vnam
,
aërem
vitiatum
ac
putridum
:
alteram
,
humores
corporis
vitio
so
victu
collectos
,
&
ad
putreso
endum
paratos
;
The
one
cause
is
(
saith
he
)
an
infected
,
corrupted
,
and
putrified
aire
:
the
other
cause
is
,
euill
and
superfluous
humors
gathered
in
the
body
through
haughtie
and
corrupt
diet
,
which
humours
be
apt
and
ready
to
putrifaction
.
And
this
is
most
true
,
and
not
onely
the
opinion
of
Galen
and
Hippocrates
,
the
Fathers
and
princes
of
Physicke
,
but
of
all
the
learned
and
iudiciall
Physitions
of
latter
time
,
and
at
this
day
.
Now
let
vs
consider
how
,
and
by
what
meanes
the
aire
may
be
corrupted
and
altered
from
his
wholsom
qualitie
vnto
a
venemous
disposition
.
Entring
into
due
consideration
therof
,
I
finde
many
causes
that
may
corrupt
the
aire
,
all
which
I
will
compose
or
include
in
these
two
.
The
first
cause
whereby
the
aire
may
bée
corrupted
,
is
through
the
vnholsom
influence
of
that
planets
;
who
by
their
malitious
disposition
,
qualitie
,
and
operations
,
distemper
,
alter
and
corrupt
the
aire
,
making
it
vnholesome
vnto
humane
nature
.
When
the
temperature
of
the
aire
is
changed
from
his
naturall
estate
,
to
immoderate
heate
and
moisture
,
The
second
cause
,
whereby
the
aire
may
be
corrupted
,
The
second
cause
of
the
pestilence
.
Rotten
exhaltions
may
corupt
the
aire
.
The
aire
tha●
commeth
from
such
stinking
places
corru●●
the
blood
.
The
third
cau●●
of
the
pestilēd
is
the
euill
diposition
of
the
body
.
is
a
venemous
euaporation
arising
from
the
earth
,
as
from
fennes
,
moores
,
standing
muddie
waters
,
and
stinking
ditches
and
priuies
,
or
from
dead
bodies
vnburied
,
stinking
chanels
and
mixsones
,
and
multitudes
of
people
liuing
in
small
and
little
roome
,
and
vncleanlie
kept
:
all
these
are
causes
and
meanes
whereby
the
aire
may
be
corrupted
.
The
third
cause
of
the
pestilence
,
is
the
euill
disposition
of
the
body
,
which
is
bred
by
euill
diet
:
the
bodie
being
repleat
with
corrupt
and
superfluous
humors
,
which
humors
bereadie
to
putrifie
and
rot
vpon
anie
light
occasion
:
And
when
such
a
person
doth
but
receiue
into
his
bodie
by
inspiration
,
the
corrupted
and
infections
aire
,
he
is
therewith
by
and
by
infected
,
his
bodie
being
disposed
thereunto
through
superfluous
and
corrupt
humors
abounding
:
whereas
contrarie
wise
,
a
body
of
a
good
disposition
,
I
meane
a
body
frée
from
grosse
,
corrupt
,
and
superfluous
humors
,
is
not
castlie
or
lightlie
infected
,
because
there
is
not
that
matter
for
the
infectious
ayre
to
worke
vpon
.
And
againe
,
nature
is
more
stronge
to
repell
the
infectious
or
corrupted
ayre
,
if
it
be
receiued
:
and
Now
hauing
shewed
all
the
causes
of
the
pestilence
;
I
will
(
GOD
assisting
mée
)
set
downe
the
cure
and
remedie
for
euerie
cause
,
which
causes
being
taken
away
,
the
effect
which
is
the
sicknesse
,
must
néedes
cease
.
The
first
cause
,
I
say
,
is
sinne
:
and
this
ought
first
to
be
taken
awaie
,
and
then
I
dare
vndertake
(
by
Gods
assistance
)
The
second
point
,
is
newnesse
of
life
:
for
what
shall
it
auaile
vs
to
haue
forgiuenesse
of
our
sinnes
,
if
we
fall
into
the
same
againe
,
and
walke
in
our
former
euilnesse
of
life
?
This
will
but
increase
Gods
wrath
and
indignation
against
vs
,
and
exasperate
him
to
punish
our
impietie
of
life
with
all
seueritie
.
Therefore
,
I
counsell
thee
,
as
thou
tendrest
the
saluation
of
thy
soule
,
flie
from
euill
,
and
do
the
thing
that
is
right
;
walke
vprightlie
before
him
in
newnesse
and
holinesse
of
life
:
for
the
Lord
séeth
all
thy
waies
,
and
knoweth
the
thoughts
of
thy
heart
long
before
.
Remember
thy
time
here
is
but
short
,
and
death
will
sommon
thee
(
thou
knowest
not
how
soone
)
to
giue
an
account
how
thou
hast
spent
thy
time
,
and
vsed
the
talent
that
the
Come
yee
blessed
of
my
Father
,
receiue
ye
the
Kingdome
prepared
for
you
before
the
beginning
of
the
worlde
.
But
how
vnhappie
,
and
in
what
miserable
estate
are
they
,
vnto
whom
the
Lord
shall
say
:
Goe
you
cursed
into
eternall
darknesse
,
a
place
of
punishment
appointed
for
you
:
where
there
is
horror
,
weeping
and
gnashing
of
teeth
.
This
is
the
place
appointed
for
the
vngodly
worldlings
that
wallow
and
continue
in
their
sinne
,
neglecting
the
seruice
of
the
Lord
:
for
which
end
they
were
created
.
Consider
this
(
good
Christian
Reader
)
and
defer
no
time
to
turne
vnto
the
Lord
:
for
this
life
of
ours
is
fraile
,
vnconstant
,
and
very
vncertaine
.
We
haue
examples
daily
before
our
eies
of
the
vncertainty
thereof
,
to
day
a
man
,
to
morrow
none
.
Homo
natus
Muliere
paucorum
dierum
est
,
&
repletur
inquietudine
,
saith
Iob
:
Man
that
is
borne
of
a
woman
his
daies
are
fewe
,
and
is
full
of
misery
.
For
thy
further
instruction
,
I
refer
thée
vnto
the
godly
and
learned
Diuines
,
heare
them
:
for
they
are
the
messengers
and
ministers
of
the
Lorde
,
appointed
to
teach
his
people
,
and
in
mée
it
might
be
noted
for
presumption
,
to
take
vpon
mée
the
office
of
another
man
,
hauing
in
this
point
more
néede
to
be
taught
my self
,
then
able
to
instruct
others
.
The
cure
of
the
soule
belongeth
vnto
them
,
and
then
cure
of
the
body
vnto
me
.
I
will
now
hasten
vnto
the
second
cause
,
which
is
the
corruption
of
the
aire
.
I
haue
shewed
before
all
the
causes
that
may
corrupt
the
aire
:
it
followeth
now
that
I
teach
the
correction
,
purging
and
altring
of
the
aire
corrupted
,
which
is
the
second
cause
of
the
pestilence
.
And
first
I
would
counsel
you
,
that
al
the
stréetes
,
lanes
,
and
allies
be
kept
cleane
and
swéete
,
as
possible
may
bée
,
Also
,
that
al
the
pondes
,
pooles
,
&
ditches
about
the
City
,
if
they
yéeld
any
stinking
and
noisom
smels
,
that
they
be
scoured
and
clensed
:
for
there
ariseth
from
them
an
euill
and
vnholesome
aire
,
which
furthereth
the
corruption
of
the
aire
,
and
worse
will
do
in
hotter
weather
.
Also
,
that
you
suffer
no
mixsons
to
be
made
so
néere
vnto
the
Citie
as
they
are
,
but
to
be
caried
far
off
:
neither
any
dead
carion
to
lie
vnburied
,
as
I
haue
séene
,
but
to
be
Also
,
that
euerie
Euening
you
make
small
and
light
fiers
with
Oken
wood
,
in
those
stréets
where
the
infection
is
,
either
two
,
or
thrée
fiers
,
according
vnto
the
length
of
the
stréete
or
place
infected
;
the
wood
being
consumed
,
cast
in
some
stickes
of
Iuniper
;
and
therewithall
,
two
,
thrée
or
foure
rowles
of
perfume
that
I
haue
here
set
downe
in
my
booke
,
which
I
would
wish
were
vsed
through
the
whole
Citie
in
your
chambers
and
houses
,
cast
in
vpon
some
coles
in
a
chafingdish
or
fuming
pot
,
in
the
Morning
and
Euening
.
This
fumigation
hath
a
most
excellent
and
singular
propertie
,
to
purge
and
alter
a
corrupt
and
vnholsome
aire
.
But
peraduenture
some
men
for
want
of
Iudgement
,
wil
think
this
my
direction
ouer
curious
&
of
small
validity
:
but
I
do
and
will
affirme
,
that
the
vse
thereof
is
very
requisite
,
and
of
great
force
&
vtility
,
and
the
best
meanes
for
the
purging
and
altering
the
euill
qualitie
of
the
aire
,
that
is
knowne
vnto
man
.
This
fumigation
is
to
be
vsed
where
the
infection
is
,
in
the
euening
,
and
also
in
the
morning
;
&
is
of
great
force
for
the

This
I
would
counsell
Gentlemen
,
and
Citizens
to
vse
dayly
in
their
houses
and
chambers
,
for
the
excellent
operation
it
hath
.
Also

and

Now
hauing
shewed
the
remedies
for
the
two
first
causes
;
it
followeth
,
that
I
teach
the
cure
of
the
third
and
last
cause
,
which
is
the
euill
disposition
of
the
body
,
through
superfluous
,
corrupt
,
and
euill
humors
abounding
.
Here
is
the
cause
,
and
these
corrupt
and
superfluous
humors
must
be
taken
away
before
the
body
can
bée
in
any
good
estate
of
health
.
And
this
is
the
reason
that
diuers
persons
liuing
together
in
one
aire
,
that
one
is
infected
and
not
another
,
namely
,
the
disposition
of
the
body
:
for
those
naughtie
,
corrupt
,
&
superfluous
humors
,
are
of
themselues
apt
and
disposed
vnto
putrefaction
,
and
if
it
so
chance
that
they
do
putrefie
of
themselues
,
then
there
arise
dangerous
feuers
,
according
vnto
the
nature
of
the
humor
that
corrupteth
.
As
for
example
,
If
choler
do
putrifie
within
the
vesselles
,
it
ingendreth
febris
ardens
or
febris
causon
,
a
hot
and
a
dangerous
feuer
,
working
his
malice
in
the
concauitie
of
the
liuer
and
lunges
and
about
the
heart
,
&
except
remedy
be
administred
the
person
dieth
.
And
so
when
any
of
the
other
humors
doe
putrefie
,
there
springe
feuers
,
according
vnto
their
nature
,
as
the
learned
knowe
.
Now
such
bodies
(
I
say
)
wherein
there
is
such
superfluous
humors
abounding
,
in
the
time
of
any
infection
,
receiuing
into
their
bodies
the
corrupt
Here
the
reason
is
apparant
why
one
person
is
infected
and
not
another
.
And
very
niedfull
it
is
especiallie
in
this
time
of
sicknesse
,
that
this
euill
disposition
of
the
body
be
taken
away
and
amended
,
by
purging
and
euacuating
of
the
perccant
humors
.
For
which
purpose
I
wil
set
down
a
very
excellent
and
approued
potion
,
which
purgeth
the
blood
and
disburdeneth
the
body
of
superfluous
humors
both
choler
,
flegme
,
and
melancholie
,
opening
attracting
and
euacuating
the
corrupt
and
vitious
humors
of
the
body
,
to
the
great
comfort
,
helpe
and
ease
of
those
that
vse
it
with
discretion
,
as
I
shall
direct
But

sokened

holde

You
ought
to
kéepe
your

during

that

And
it
is
very
requisite
also
,
that
you
kéepe

because
the
pores
of

will
be
opened

This

is
of
great
vertue
,
and
not
only
deliuereth
the
body
from
a
disposition
to
be
infected
with
this
sicknesse
;
but
also
from
many
other
griefes
and
diseases
springing
and
arising
by
repletion
,
and
corruption
of
humors
,
and
very
gently

purgeth

choler

if
any
thinke
this
a

course

therefore
loath

or
vnwilling

it
,
let
them
consider
that
health
is
not
obtained
without
some
meanes
be
vsed
,
and
let
them
not
thinke
much
to
take
a
little
paines
for
the
gaining
of
so
pretious
a
Iewell
,
without
the
which
although
abounding
in
worldly
wealth
,
yet
we
can
take
delight

pleasure
,
or
contentation
in
nothing

As
for
healthy
bodies
,
such
as
are
free
from
corrupt
and
superfluous
humours
,
vsing
a
good
diet
and
exercise
of
bodie
,
such
(
I
say
)
are
not
lightly
infected
as
others
are
,
in
whom
there
is
repletion
:
it
shall
be
sufficient
for
them
without

to
vse
anie
of

preseruatiues
I
haue
set

And
let

bée
assured

the
vse

,
and
by
Gods
assistance

from
all

although
the

were
more
strong

powerfull
then
it
is

I
assuredly
know
,
that
this
potion
béeing
vsed
may
suffice
to
take
away
the
euill
disposition
of

yet
because
I
know
many
would
bee
loth
to
be
inioined
to
kéepe
their
chamber
foure
dayes
as
they
ought
to
doo
,
that
vse
this
potion
or
any
other
purging
potion
,
I
haue
for
their
benefite
set
downe
a
most
excellent
pill
that
purgeth
all
corrupt
,
and
superfluous
humors
,
and
is
with
all
a
very
good
preseruatiue
,
defending
the
body
from
all
infection

The
Composition
of
the
pill
.
R.
Good
Rubarbe
one
dramme
and
a
halfe
,
Saffron
two
scruples
,
Trochis
of
Agarick
one
dram
;
of
chosen
Myrrhe
one
dram
,
Aloes
the
best
two
drams
,
syrrup
of
Roses
solutiue
as
much
as
will
suffice
to
make
them
in
pilles
.
Take
a
dram
of
these
pils
early
euery
morning
,
for
fiue
or
six
dayes
together
,
taking
two
or
thrée
houres
after
them
a
little
thin
broth
,
and
vse
a
sparing
diet
for
these
fiue
or
six
dayes
,
and
let
your
meat
bée
light
and
easie
of
digestion
:
you
shall
haue
two
or
thrée
stooels
daily
or
foure
in
some
bodies
.
Notwithstanding
you
may
safely
goe
abroad
about
your
businesse
,
without
any
inconuenience
at
all
.
And
hauing
now
shewed
how
the
euill
disposition
of
the
body
may
be
amended
,
and
taken
away
by
gentle
purging
and
euacuating
of
the
peccant
humors
,
bred
by
euill
diet
,
and
the
abuse
of
the
six
things
called
,
Res
non
naturales
,
whereof
I
will
briefly
speake
,
teaching
what
ought
to
be
auoided
,
as
hurtfull
and
preiudiciall
vnto
your
health
.
In
receiuing
of
the
aire
.
The
aire
is
one
of
the
Elements
wherof
our
bodies
are
composed
;
and
without
the
inspiration
,
and
respiration
thereof
we
cannot
liue
:
and
therefore
it
standeth
much
with
our
health
,
that
the
aire
which
we
receiue
into
our
bodies
,
bée
swéete
,
holesome
and
vncorrupt
.
And
I
counsell
al
men
that
they
auoide
all
places
of
infection
,
all
stinking
and
noisome
smels
;
and
when
they
are
disposed
to
walke
,
that
they
walke
in
gardens
,
or
swéete
and
pleasant
fieldes
:
but
neither
early
nor
late
at
night
.
I
haue
set
downe
the
making
of
a
good
pomander
,
the
which
I
would
wish
to
bee
worne
not
only
of
Gentlemen
,
but
of
others
also
for
the
good
property
it
hath
both
in
resisting
a
corrupt
,
noysom
,
and
stinking
aire
,
and
in
comforting
the
senses
.
I
doe
not
intend
in
this
place
to
write
of
the
nature
of
aires
and
the
election
thereof
;
it
would
be
ouer
tedious
,
who
so
desireth
it
,
let
him
reade
Hippocrates
de
flatibus
:
also
Auicen
,
and
Rasis
haue
written
copiouslie
thereof
.
And
you
ought
to
obserue
aire
as
meate
,
cold
sicknesses
require
warme
aire
,
drie
sicknesses
moist
aire
:
&
so
in
the
contraries
,
to
them
that
be
long
sicke
,
change
of
aire
is
very
commodious
;
&
to
In
eating
and
drinking
.
In
eating
and
drinking
,
we
ought
to
consider
that
the
meates
that
we
eate
and
receiue
for
the
nourishment
of
our
bodies
be
swéete
and
holsome
,
yéelding
Of
sleeping
and
waking
.
God
hath
created
the
day
for
man
to
labour
in
his
Note
also
that
we
ought
not
to
sléepe
immediately
after
meat
before
it
be
descended
from
the
mouth
of
the
stomacke
,
for
thereby
digestion
is
corrupted
,
and
paines
,
and
noise
in
the
belly
ingendred
:
Also
our
sleepe
is
made
vnquiet
and
troubled
by
euill
vapours
ascending
:
therefore
I
counsell
all
men
that
are
in
health
,
and
desire
the
continuance
thereof
,
that
they
auoid
sléeping
in
the
day
time
,
especially
And
as
I
haue
shewed
the
inconuenience
of
too
much
,
or
immoderate
sléepe
:
so
I
say
ouer-much
watching
is
no
lesse
hurtfull
vnto
nature
.
It
doth
debilitate
the
powers
animall
:
it
weakeneth
the
naturall
Of
exercise
and
rest
.
Galen
counselleth
vs
,
if
we
desire
to
preserue
health
,
that
we
vse
exercise
of
bodie
:
it
makes
digestion
Galen
,
Auicen
,
and
Corn.
Celsus
teach
,
and
experience
approueth
.
Idlenesse
and
rest
is
a
contrarie
vnto
exercise
:
it
is
the
mother
of
ignorance
,
the
nurse
of
diseases
,
it
corrupteth
the
mind
,
it
dulleth
the
bodie
,
filling
and
repleating
it
with
superfluous
and
euill
humours
,
which
breede
manie
sicknesses
.
And
as
exercise
and
labour
is
a
preseruer
of
health
,
so
idlenes
is
the
shortner
of
life
,
enemy
vnto
the
soule
and
body
,
and
very
vnprofitable
in
a
Common-wealth
,
and
also
hurtful
in
a
priuate
house
.
And
remember
this
,
that
vehement
exercise
be
not
vsed
presently
after
meate
,
for
it
wil
conueigh
crude
and
vndigested
iuyce
vnto
each
part
,
which
is
very
euil
&
hurtfull
.
But
exercise
is
good
before
meate
,
and
two
or
thrée
howers
after
meate
,
being
moderately
vsed
.
Exercise
is
best
and
most
conuenient
,
when
the
first
and
second
digestion
is
complete
,
as
well
in
the
stomacke
,
as
in
the
vaines
.
But
in
such
a
time
of
infection
as
this
is
,
I
cannot
commend
exercise
,
because
it
will
too
much
open
the
pores
,
and
the
pores
being
opened
,
the
bodie
is
apt
to
receiue
the
infectious
aire
.
Much
more
would
I
say
of
the
benefit
of
exercise
,
and
the
inconuenience
of
idlenesse
,
but
that
I
should
be
ouer-tedious
in
this
place
.
Of
fulnesse
and
emptinesse
.
All
fulnesse
and
superfluitie
of
meates
are
to
be
eschued
,
for
as
much
as
they
make
repletion
:
And
all
bodies
in
whom
there
is
repletion
,
are
apt
to
bee
infected
.
And
such
bodies
must
endeuour
to
kéepe
themselues
soluble
:
All
euacuations
are
good
for
them
,
as
purging
and
bléeding
,
except
some
speciall
cause
doth
forbid
it
:
And
let
them
vse
a
sparing
and
frugall
diet
.
And
they
may
safely
,
and
with
great
profit
vse
the
pill
I
haue
set
downe
before
in
my
booke
.
And
as
I
haue
said
,
repletion
is
an
enemie
vnto
health
,
bringing
and
begetting
sicknesse
,
and
sometime
sodaine
death
:
so
is
too
much
fasting
and
emptinesse
,
no
lesse
hurtfull
:
it
weakeneth
the
braine
,
and
drieth
the
whole
bodie
,
consuming
the
radicall
moisture
in
man
,
and
shorteneth
life
.
And
as
repletion
is
to
be
abhorred
and
auoided
,
so
Of
affections
of
the
mind
.
Affections
of
the
mind
are
called
by
M.
Cicero
,
Perturbations
.
Galen
calleth
them
Pathemata
vel
affectus
anims
,
and
nothing
is
more
hurtfull
in
this
time
of
sicknesse
,
nor
greater
enemie
vnto
life
,
then
feare
,
sorrow
,
anger
,

Anger
is
a
dangerous
passion
:
it
chafeth
the
bloud
,
and
disquieteth
the
heart
:
it
inflameth
the
spirits
:
which
ascending
vp
into
the
head
,
annoieth
the
animall
powers
Now
hauing
shewed
what
ought
to
be
auoided
,
it
followeth
,
that
I
set
downe
preseruatiues
that
may
resist
all
infection
:
which
God
assisting
me
,
I
will
do
.
First
of
all
,
I
counsell
all
men
in
whom
bloud
doth
abound
,
the
which
they
may
easily
know
themselues
,
by
the
heate
of
their
bodies
,
colour
,
largenesse
and
fulnesse
of
their
vaines
,
that
they
be
let
bloud
in
the
liuer
vaine
in
the
right
arme
:
and
let
the
quantitie
be
according
vnto
the
strength
of
the
person
.
Also
that
all
men
in
generall
auoid
all
bathes
and
hote-houses
,
and
all
vehement
exercise
,
that
may
ouerheate
the
body
,
and
inflame
the
bloud
.
Also
the
companie
of
women
this
hote
and
contagious
time
is
verie
hurtfull
,
and
therefore
ought
to
be
vsed
with
great
moderation
.
Also
walking
verie
early
in
a
morning
,
and
verie
late
in
the
euening
,
is
hurtfull
and
dangerous
.
Also
auoide
all
prease
and
throng
of
people
where
a
multitude
are
assembled
,
&
al
noisome
&
vnsauourie
places
.
Now
hauing
shewed
all
the
causes
of
the
pestilence
,
and
set
downe
the
cure
and
remedie
for
euerie
cause
:
I
will
by
Gods
assistance
,
for
the
care
I
haue
of
the
preseruation
of
the
inhabitants
of
this
honorable
citie
,
and
for
the
loue
I
beare
vnto
them
and
my
countrie
,
communicate
vnto
them
most
excellent
and
approued
preseruatiues
and
of
singular
vertue
:
which
whose
vseth
them
,
shall
not
néed
to
feare
the
infection
of
this
contagious
sicknes
.
First
,
with
an
humble
and
contrite
heart
desire
mercie
of
the
Lord
:
and
then
commend
thy selfe
vnto
his
protection
:
which
being
done
,
vse
the
good
meanes
he
hath
ordained
for
thy
health

therefore
when
a
botch
dooth
not
appeare
spéedily
,
it
is
alwaies
an
euill
signe

dangerous
.
The
reason
hereof
is
,
nature
is
weake
,
and
the
infection
and
poison
is
strong
and
furious
:
and
nature
being
weake
as
in
children
,

in
aged
persons
,
and
in
others
also
,
through
the
euill
disposition
of
the
body

not
able
to
make
resistance
against
so
furious

is

third
is

be
vsed

And
at
the
first
when

whether

or
no

&

he
find
any
of
them
at
al
in
himselfe
,
then
let

be
assured
it
is

This
is
the
true
and
perfect
cure
of

,

I
meane
in

sickenes

within

within
twelue

sooner

better

for

,
swift
,

,

quickly
destroyeth

Now
vnto

is

purpose

féeleth

and

in
the
beginning
of

sicknesse
,
it
is
a
speciall

thing
in

persons
,
in
whom
bloud
doth
abound

Cephalica

The
patient
ought
to
change
his
chamber
sometimes
,
And
those
that
are
about
him
must
haue
care
of
themselues
,
and
eate
daily
euery
morning
some
good
preseruatiue
.
And
aboue
all
,
let
them
take
héede
of
the
aire
or
breath
of
the
sore
when
it
is
opened
:
alway
holding
some
roote
of
Angelica
stieped
in
vinegar
in
their
mouth
,
or
some
other
strong
and
good
preseruatiue
,
and
let
them
eate
sometimes
a
little
good
mithridatum
,
or
anie
one
of
the
confections
preseruatiue
set
downe
in
this
booke
against
the
pestilence
:
and
also
let
the
kéeper
take
héede
how
to
bestowe
the
plaisters
that
come
from
the
sore
.
Well
now
remember
what
I
haue
said
ought
to
be
done
in
this
cure
of
the
pestilence
.
First
,
that
with
all
spéede
you
vse
remedy
without
delaying
the
time
,
for
therein
chiefly
consisteth
the
danger
.
Secondly
,
that
you
bléed
,
if
no
cause
forbid
it
,
as
afore
is
taught
.
Thirdly
,
that
you
take
one
of
the
medicines
before
set
downe
in
this
booke
,
and
sweate
therewithall
,
and
refraine
from
sléepe
.
Fourthly
,
that
you
vse
the
cordials
to
comfort
the
heart
set
downe
,
and
that
you
eat
of
them
oftentimes
in
the
day
.
Fiftly
,
that
if
the
patient
be
faint
,
you
must
vse
the
Epithymum
,
and
cpithymate
the
heart
therewith
.
Sixtly
,
that
if
the
sore
or
botch
appeare
,
and
rise
néere
vnto
the
heart
,
that
then
you
vse
vpon
the
heart
a
defensitiue
,
and
with
spéede
drawe
the
botch
further
off
.
The
seuenth
obseruation
is
,
that
with
spéede
you
apply
medicines
to
suppurate
the
sore
,
and
drawe
it
forth
.
The
eight
is
,
that
the
chamber
be
oftentimes
perfumed
,
The
ninth
is
,
that
he
vse
the
diet
before
taught
,
eating
a
little
at
a
time
,
and
the
oftner
.
And
to
vse
the
sirrups
and
consections
to
coole
and
comfort
.
The
tenth
,
which
should
haue
béene
the
first
,
is
,
that
the
patient
in
anie
case
be
kept
from
sléepe
,
from
his
first
sickening
vntill
he
haue
taken
his
medicine
,
and
sweat
,
and
sire
or
eight
houres
after
,
and
then
to
sléepe
but
one
houre
,
and
the
next
day
let
him
sléepe
thrée
houres
at
times
,
but
not
aboue
one
houre
at
a
time
:
and
after
the
third
day
you
may
giue
him
more
sléepe
.
But
in
the
beginning
of
his
sicknes
,
it
is
most
dangerous
:
for
by
sléepe
the
spirits
are
drawne
inward
,
and
therewithall
the
venome
is
attracted
vnto
the
heart
,
and
also
the
feuer
made
more
vehement
and
sharpe
.
And
this
is
the
cause
that
many
die
,
that
might
liue
if
they
were
kept
from
sléepe
,
and
therewithall
take
some
good
medicine
.
The
eleuenth
is
,
that
the
patient
kéepe
his
chamber
during
the
time
of
his
sicknes
,
and
refraine
all
companie
,
that
he
hurt
not
others
.
The
twelfth
is
,
that
being
well
,
he
giue
humble
thanks
to
God
,
and
then
let
him
change
his
apparell
,
being
well
perfumed
,
and
in
the
name
of
God
goe
abroade
.
And
if
the
botch
arise
néere
vnto
the
heart
,
then
before
you
sweate
,
it
were
good
to
apply
this
defensitiue
vnto
the
heart
,
being
thinne
spread
vpon
a
fine
cloth
,
as
broad
as
wil
couer
the
heart
.

most
commonly
in
this

sicknes
the
patient
is
troubled
with
lightnesse
in
his

cannot
sléepe
:
the
reason

is
,

the

distempered

ascending

flying

And
this
is
the
reason
they
sléepe
not
:
and
the
cause
of
their
raging
is
want
of
sléepe
,
and
a
distemperature
of
the

sicknesse
.
But
you
must
note
,
that
this
is
not
to
be
vsed
in
the
beginning
of
his
sicknesse
:
For
in
the
beginning
of
the
sicknesse
the
person
ought
in
anie
wise
to
be
kept
from
sléepe
.
For
as
through
sléepe
the
spirits
are
drawne
inward
,
and
the
venome
therewith
attracted
vnto
the
heart
:
so
the
heat
is
also
excéedingly
increased
through
sléepe
.
Therefore
this
meanes
that
I
haue
set
downe
for
causing
of
sléepe
or
anie
other
to
sléepe
,
may
not

I

often
séene

is
to
bee
done
in

appointed
,
apply
vnto
the
sore
this
vnderwritten
,
which
will
drawe
it
forth
,

ripen
it
:
and
you
must
haue
special

that
with

cut
off

shall
the

if
he
die

then
take
another
,

do
so
againe

Then
lay

,
to

to

What

cordials
to

The
cause
why
the
sore
coms
not
forth
,
is
weaknesse
of
nature
.
if
the
Apostume
or
sorely
déep
,
notwithstanding
your
sweat
,
then
must
you
fasten
cupping
glasses
ouer
or
vpon
the
sore
,
first
scarifing
the
place
,
and
when
you
haue
vsed
your
cupping
glasses
,
then
vse
a
yong
cock
or
pullet
,
as
before
is
taught
,
pulling
the
fethers
from
about
the
rumpe
and
taile
,
putting
a
little
salt
into
the
fundament
of
the
cocke
or
pullet
,
set
it
vnto
your
sore
houlding
the
bil
of
him
sometime
to
retaine
his
breath
:
and
if
he
die
take
one
more
,
and
do
as
before
,
and
then
apply
the
plaister
of
onions
and
treacle
set
down
before
:
and
then
applie
some
one
of
the
other
which
will
bring
it
to
suppuration
,
then
let
it
be
opened
as
before
taught
.
What
is
to
be
done
when
the
botch
wil
not
come
to
suppuration
,
but
continues
hard
.
If
a
botch
come
not
to
suppuration
within
thrée
or
foure
daies
,
as
most
commonly
it
dooth
,
but
resisteth
your
application
continuing
hard
,
then
must
you
vse
some
caustick
or
strong
vessicatorie
,
or
insition
which
I
like
not
of
,
the
matter
béeing
vnripe
or
not
altered
into
corruption
:
the
continuance
of
a
botch
vnsuppurated
and
not
drawn
forth
is
very
dangerous
:
the
reason
is
,
the
venome
gathereth
strength
by
putrifaction
within
the
body
and
returnes
vnto
the
heart
againe
.
Then
farewell
life
.
This
I
haue
knowne
,
and
I
am
perswaded
may
die
that
might
liue
,
if
this
were
séene
vnto
.
Therefore
to
preuent
danger
,
rather
open
the
botch
before
it
be
full
turned
vnto
suppuration
,
and
vse
cataplasmes
and
pultesses
to
ripen
the
rest
that
remaines
.
But
being
still
hard
,
then
I
say
you
must
vse
the
counsell
of
a
chirurgion
,
and
open
it
with
a
causticke
,
as
I
before
sayd
,
how
and
wherewith
I
First
,
before
it
bée
opened

let

epithymated

and
vse
some
cordiall
set
downe

And
then
vse
digestions

What
is
to

I
haue
knowne

appeare

and
yet
sodainlie
to
fall

and
this
is
euer
a

deadly

I
will
shewe
you
all
that
may
bee
done

manie
haue

with

giue

set

for
the
cure

,
the
quantitie
is
there
set

and
procure
him
to
sweate
as
long
as
he
can
endure
it
.
Then
drie
him
with
warme
clothes
.
And
giue
him
cordials
to
eate
of

set

Then
ought

to

the
next
day
early
giue
him
my

the
which
is
good
in

giue
