The

.
Fyrst
I
sayd
the
tokens
of
this
infyrmyte
.vij.
thynges
ought
to
be
noted
in
the
same
the
fyrst
is
whan
in
a
sommers
day
the
weder
oftentymes
chaungeth
as
in

mornynge
the
weder
appereth
to
rayne
/
afterwarde
it
appereth
cloudy
&
at
the
last
wynde

The
seconde
token
is
whan
in
somer
the
dayes
appereth
alder
ke

lyke
to

&
yet
it
rayneth
not
/
and
yf
many
dayes
so
contynue
it
is
to
drede
grete
pestylence
.
The
thyrde
token
is
whan
grete
multytude
of
flyes
ben
vpon
the
erthe
then
it
is
sygne
/
that
the
ayer

The

/
than
it
is
token
the
the
ayer
is
infect
with
moche
venemous
vapours

The
.v.
token
is
whan
a
blasynge
sterre
is
sene
in
the
element
aboue

then
it
sholde
fortune
sone
after
to
be
grete
manslaughter

token
is
whan
there
is
grete
lyghtnynge
&
thundre
namely
out
of
the
south
.
The
.vij.
token
is
whan
grete
wyndes
passen
oute

therfore
whan
these
tokens
appere
it

do
drede
grete

wyll
remeue
it

These
thynges
folowynge
ben
the
causes

Thepestylēce
cometh
of
.iiij.
thynges

sometyme
it
cometh
fro
the
rote

other
whyle
fro
the
rote
aboue
to
that
we
may
fele
sensibly
how
the
chaunge
of
the
ayer
appereth
vnto
vs
/
&
sometyme
it
cometh
of
both
togyder
as
well
.
fro
the
rote
aboue
as
fro
the
rote
byneth
/
as
we
see
a

of
ony
other
pertyculer
thynge
whyche
corrupteth
the
ayer
in
his
substaunce
&
qualyte
whiche
is
a
thynge
may
happe
euery
day
/
&
therof
cometh
the
ague
of
pestylence
/
&
aboute
the
same
many
physycyons
be
deceyued
/
not
supposynge
this
axes
to
be
a
pestylence
/
somtyme
it
cometh
of
dede
careyn
or
corrupcion
of
standynge
water
in
dyches
or
sloughes
&
other
corrupt
places
/
and
these
thynges
somtyme
be
vnyuersall
&
sometyme
perticuler

¶
Fro
the
rote
aboue
it
fortuneth
the
causes
of
the
bodyes
aboue
the
ayer
by
whome
the
spyryte
of
lyfe
is
corrupt
in
man
or
beest
as
Auicēce
sayth
in
his
.iiij.
boke

by
the
forme
of
thayr
aboue
the
bodyes
byneth
lyghtly
be
infect
/
for
thynpressyons
aboue
corrupteth
the
ayer
&
so
the
spirytes
of
man
be
corrupt
/
this
infyrmyte
cometh
from
the
rote
aboue
/
&
bynethe
whan
of
thynpressyons
aboue
the
ayer
is
corrupte
/
and
of
the
putryfaccyon
or
roten
carcyne
/
or
of
vyle
places
byneth
an
infyrmyte
is
called
in
a
man
/
or
such
an
Infyrmyte
somtyme
is
an
axes
/
somtyme
apostome
or
a
swellynge
and
that
is
in
many
thynges
.
Also
the
ayer
inspyred
sometyme
is
venymous
and
corrupt
/
hurtynge
the
herte
/
that
nature
many
wayes
is
greued
soo
/
that
he
perceyueth
not
his
harme
for
the
vyrgyn
appereth
fayre
&
sheweth
good
dygestyon
yet
neuerthelesse
the
pacyent
is
lyke
to
dye
/
wherfore
many
physycyens
seynge
the
vryn
of
theyr
pacyentes
that
speke
superfycyally
&
be
deceyued
.
Therfore
it
is
nede
that
euery
pacyent
proue
to
hym selfe
a
good
&
experte
physycyen
.
These
thynges
wryten
before
are
the
causes
of
pestylence
.
But
aboute
these
thynges
two
questyons
be
moeued
.
The
fyrst
is
wherfore
one
dyeth
&
a nother
dyeth
not
in
a
towne
where
men
be
dede
in
one
house
/
&
in
a nother
house
there
dyeth
none
.
The
seconde
questyon
is
whether
pestylence
sores
be
contagyous
.
To
the
fyrst
questyon
I
saye
it
may
happe
to
be
of
the
causes
/
that
is
to
saye
of
the
thynge
that
doth
&
of
the
thynge
that
suffreth
/
an
example
of
the
thynge
that
doth
/
the
Influence
of
the
bodyes
aboue
beholdeth
that
place
or
that
place
more
than
this
place
or
this
place
/
&
the
pacyent
is
more
disposed
to
dye
than
another
.
therfore
it
is
to
be
noted
that
the
bodyes
be
more
hote
dysposed
of
open
pore
than
bodyes
Infect
hauynge
the
poores
stopped
with
many
humoures
where
bodyes
be
of
resolucyon
or
openynge
/
as
men
whiche
abusen
them selfe
with
women
or
vse
often
tymes
bathes
/
or
men
that
be
hote
with
laboure
or
grete
anger
they
haue
theyr
bodyes
more
disposed
to
this
grete
sekenes
.
To
the
seconde
questyon
I
say
that
pestylence
sores
be
contagyous
by
cause
of
infect
humoures
of
bodyes
and
thereke
or
smoke
of
suche
soores
is
venymous
and
corrupteth
the
ayer
&
therfore
it
is
to
flee
for
suche
persones
that
be
infect
/
in
pestylence
tyme
no
body
sholde
stande
in
grete
prece
of
people
by
cause
some
man
of
them
may
be
infect
.
Therfore
wyse
physycyens
in
vysytynge
seke
folke
stande
ferre
fro
the
paciente
holdynge
their
face
towarde
the
dore
or
wyndowe
.
And
so
sholde
the
seruauntes
of
seke
folke
stande
.
And
it
is
good
to
a
pacyent
euery
daye
,
for
to
chaunge
his
chamber
/
&
to
haue
the
wyndowe
open
ayenst
the
northe
&
eest
/
&
to
spere
the
wyndowes
ayenst
the
south
/
for
the
south
wynde
hath
two
causes
of
putryfycacyon
.
The
fyrst
is
it
maketh
a
man
beynde
hole
or
seke
feble
in
theyr
bodyes
.
The
seconde
cause
is
as
wryten
in
the
thyrde
of
Amphyrosmis
the
south
wynde
greueth
the
heerynge
&
hurteth
the
herte
bycause
it
openeth
the
poores
of
man
and
entreth
in
to
the
herte
/
wherfore
it
is
good
to
an
hole
man
in
tyme
of
pestylence
whan
the
winde
is
in
the
south
to
be
within
the
house
all
day
&
yf
it
shal
be
nede
a
man
to
go
out
/
yet
let
hym
abyde
in
the
house
tyll
the
sonne
be
vp
in
the
eest
passynge
southe
warde
¶
The
remedyes
of
pestylence
here
after
foloweth
.
Now
it
is
to
wete
by
what
remedyes
a
man
may
preserue
hym selfe
fro
pestylence
/
fyrst
so
the
wrytynge
of
Ieremye
the
prophete
that
a
man
ought
to
forsake
euyll
thynges
&
do
good
dedes
&
mekely
to
confesse
his
synnes
/
for
why
it
is
the
hyest
remedy
in
tyme
of
pestylence
/
penaunce
&
confessyon
to
be
preferred
of
other
medycynes
.
Neuerthelesse
I
promytte
you
verely
it
is
a
good
remedy
to
voyde
&
chaunge
th
ynfect
places
.
but
some
may
not
prouffytably
chaunge
their
places
/
ther
fore
as
moche
as
to
them
is
possible
it
is
to
eschewe
euery
cause
of
putryfaccion
/
&
namely
euery
flesshely
luste
with
women
is
to
be
eschewed
Also
the
sothern
wynde
whyche
is
naturally
enfecteth
therfore
spere
the
wyndowes
ayenst
the
south
as
it
is
sayd
before
vnto
to
the
fyrste
houre
after
the
myddes
of
the
daye
.
Then
open
the
wyndowes
ayenst
the
north
.
Of
the
same
cause
euery
foule
stynche
is
to
be
eschewed
/
of
stabyll
stynkynge
feldes
wayes
or
stretes
/
&
namely
of
stynkynge
dede
carayne
&
moost
of
stynkynge
watres
where
in
many
places
water
is
kepte
by
.vij.
dayes
or
.ij.
nyghtes
/
or
elles
there
be
gutters
of
water
casten
vnder
the
erthe
whiche
causeth
grete
stynke
&
corrupcyon
&
of
this
cause
some
deye
in
that
house
where
suche
thynges
happen
/
&
in
a nother
house
dye
none
as
it
is
said
before
.
lyke
wise
in
that
place
where
be
wurtes
&
coles
putrefyed
it
maketh
a
noyfull
sauoure
&
stynkynge
for
as
by
the
swete
odoure
of
bawme
that
herte
&
the
spyrytes
haue
recreacion
/
so
of
euyll
sauours
they
be
made
feble
wherfore
kepe
youre
house
that
an
infect

for
an
Infect

causeth
putryfaccyon
in

ther
fore
lette
youre

and
make
clere
fyre
of

/
let
your

be
made
with
fumygacyon
of

/
that
is
to
saye
with
leues
of

Ieneper
vberyorgany
it

Suche
a
fumy
taken
by
the
mouthe
&
eres
openeth
thynwarde
partes
of
the
body
.
Also
it
is
t
eschewe
all
grete
repleccyons
by
cause
full
bodyes
by
lyghtly
infect
/
as
Auicenne
sayth
in
the
fourth
canon
/
they
that
chargen
theyr
bodyes
with
respeccion
/
shorten
theyr
lyfe
.
Also
comyn
bathes
are
to
be
eschewed
/
for
a
lytell
crust
corrupteth
all
the
body
Thefrore
the
people
as
moche
as
is
possyble
is
to
be
eschewed
/
leest
of
infect
brethes
some
man
be
infect
/
but
whan
the
multytude
of
people
may
not
be
eschewed
.
then
vse
the
remedyes
folowynge
.
In
the
mornynge
whan
ye
ryse
/
wasshe
a
lytell
rewe
&
one
or
two
fylberde
nottes
clene
with
salte
&
ete
them
/
&
yf
that
can
not
be
had
than
ete
brede
or
a
toste
sopped
in
veneger
namely
in
troublous
and
cloudy
weder
.
Also
in
the
tyme
of
pestylence
it
is
better
to
abyde
win
the
house
/
for
it
is
not
holsome
to
go
in
to
cyte
or
towne
/
also
let
your
house
be
sprynkled
specyally
in
somer
with
vyneger
and
roses
&
with
leues
of
vyne
tree
.
Also
it
is
good
to
wasshe
your
handes
ofte
tymes
in
the
day
with
water
&
veneger
/
&
wype
your
face
with
your
handes
&
smell
to
them
.
Also
it
is
good
alwaye
to
sauoure
ayger
thynges
.
In
the
mount
of
pessane
I
myght
not
eschewe
the
company
of
people
for
I
wente
for
hous
to
house
bycause
of
my
pouerte
to
cure
seke
folkes
/
therfore
brede
or
a
sponge
sopped
in
vyneger
I
toke
with
the
holdynge
it
to
my
mouth
and
nose
bycause
all
egre
thynges
stoppen
the
wayes
of
humours
and
suffreth
no
venymous
thynges
to
entre
in
to
a
mannes
body
&
so
Iescaped
the
pestylens
my
felowes
supposynge
that
I
sholde
not
lyue
/
these
thynges
I
haue
proued
by
my selfe
.
¶
Here
foloweth
the
confortes
of
the
herte
&
of
the
pryncypall
membres
.
The
confortes
of
the
herte
be
these
/
saffron
auisex
plantayn
:
with
other
herbes
they
open
the
inwarde
spyryte
/
&
these
be
good
amonge
the
comyn
people
where
lyghtly
it
happeneth
that
on

therfore
be
ware
the

Also
of
an
Infect

a

eyen
be
made
dymme
yf

yf
ye
haue
no

take
veneger
and
so
these
thynges
vsed
ye
may
go
surely
amonge
the
people
.
Also
a
naturall
lax
of
the

is
a
grete
remedy

supposory
craftly

Also
it
is
profytable
as

Also
beware

though

purgeth
the
brayne
from

The

For
the
lettynge
of
blode
.
¶
Lettynge
of
blode
ones
in
the
moneth
may
be
made
/
but
age
or
other
thynges
forbede
it
as
pylgryms
or
feble
ꝑfones
the
haue
the
flyxe
/
suffre
to
be
let
blode
in
the
vayne
called
basilica
on
the
ryght
or
lyft
syde
before
etynge
/
&
after
incision
of
the
basilisca
be
mery
&
drynke
wyne
or
ale
temperatly
/
slepe
not
that
day
whan
basilica
is
but
/
yf
ye
sele
you
greued
to
be
infect
/
than
eschewe
slepe
&
be
walkynge
&
moeuynge
/
for
by
slepe
thynwarde
hete
induceth
poyson
to
the
herte
and
to
other
specyall
membres
/
so
the
vnneth
ony
herbe
may
take
away
suche
poyson
/
whiche
sholde
not
be
yf
a
man
wolde
be
moeuynge
to
&
fro
/
but
some
wolde
saye
wherfore
sholde
slepe
be
eschewed
/
I
saye
shortely
that
in
pestylence
tyme
anone
after
mete
yf
a
body
lyst
to
slepe
/
then
suche
a
lust
ought
to
be
forborne
by
a
space
walkynge
in
the
gardyns
or
feldes
/
&
therfore
Auicenne
wryteth
the
yf
a
man
wolde
slepe
he
must
drynke
a
good
draught
of
ale
or
wyne
afore
/
bycause
a
man
beynge
a
slepe
draweth
many
humours
/
&
the
cuyl
humours
be
put
doune
by
t
humours
of
a
good
draught
.
But
some
wolde
vnderstonde
how
man
a
may
felt
whan
he
is
infect
/
I
say
that
a
man
whiche
is
infect
the
day
he
eteth
not
moche
mete
/
for
he
is
replenysshed
with
euyll
homours
/
&
forth
with
after
dyner
he
hathe
luste
to
slepe
&
feleth
grete
hete
vnder
colde
.
Also
he
hath
grete
payne
in
the
forhede
but
all
these
thynges
he
may
put
away
by
moeuynge
of
a
place
hyder
and
theder
to
ryde
or
to
walke
he
may
not
for
slouth
/
of
the
body
&
the
weyght
of
the
same
.
Also
a
man
whiche
is
infect
hath
lust
to
slepe
euery
houre
for
the
vemyn
within
the
body
troubleth
the
spyryte
of
lyfe
so
that
alway
he
wolde
rest
&
slepe
&
so
of
these
tokens
a
man
shall
knowe
&
fele
hym selfe
infect
/
&
yf
a
body
wyll
not
beleue
this
.
Abyde
the
myddes
of
the
day
/
&
then
anone
he
shall
fele
a
swellynge
vnder
the
arme
aboute
the
share
/
or
aboute
the
eres
&
therfore
se
an
hye
&
a
good
medycyne
/
forbere
slepe
bycause
of
the
thynges
aforesayd
/
&
it
is
playne
that
the
spyryte
of
lyfe
resteth
in
slepe
&
all
the
body
here
and
there
is
venymed
.
All
these
thinges
I
haue
proued
by
my selfe
/
these
thynges
knowen
whan
a
man
feleth
hym
felfe
infect
as
sone
as
he
may
let

then

of

moeueth
or

vemyn
/
yf
a

/
then
let
hym
suffre
the

for

also
a

let

/
&
alway
let

Therfore

And

Thenne
