A
new
counsel
against
the
Pestilence
.
The

Chap.
SIcknesses

,
sayth
Hippocrates
,
partlye
of
Hippoc.
in
his
boke
of
the
nature
of
mankind
.
our
diet
:
and
partlye
of
our
breath
,
by
drawing
in
whereof
we
liue
.
They
which
come
of
our
dyet
,
are
Gal.
in
the
preface
of
the.
1.
booke
of
Epidem
.
called
Sporadici
:
and
by
our
breathing
are
engendred
Endemij
,
and
Epidemii
.
Wee
terme
those
Sporadici
,
which
according
to
the
diuerse
&
sundrie
trades
of
life
do
happen
to
this
or
that
man
,
as
doth
Bronchocele
,
or
rupture
of
the
throate
,
vnto
weemen
which
dwell
by
the
lake
Lemanus
,
and
the
inhabitants
neere
to
Geneua
by
drinking
snowie
water
:
Lykewyse
great
and
swelling
myltes
,
by
drynking
of
colde
,
ysie
,
and
troubled
waters
:
as
also
they
which
vsed
to
eate
of
a
kinde
of
pulse
,
like
vetches
,
called
Eruum
,
were
troubled
with
paine
in
the
knees
:
and
such
as
fead
on
other
kinde
of
pulse
,
became
weake
in
the
thies
.
Of
these
diseases
hath
Hippocrates
intreated
in
his
bok●
of
the
diet
in
sharpe
sicknesses
,
as
Galen
is
auctour
in
his
commentary
vpon
the
ninth
sentence
of
the
second
booke
of
sharpe
sicknesses
.
And
they
were
called
Sporadici
diseases
,
of
the
Ilands
named
Sporadas
which
lye
stragling
,
as
it
were
,
here
&
there
dispersed
,
and
as
Galen
lykewise
in
the
third
booke
of
the
administration
of
Anatomie
,
and
in
his
booke
of
the
dissection
of
the
veines
,
calleth
certaine
veines
which
lye
here
&
there
one
not
far
from
another
vpon
the
skin
,
by
name
of
Sporadas
.
The
sicknesses
called
Endemij
,
be
they
which
by
reason
of
the
contagion
of
the
heauen
,
or
particulare
ayre
,
do
alwayes
molest
some
one
place
:
according
as
Aristotle
reciteth
in
his
booke
intituled
:
Of
the
world
,
and
dedicated
vnto
Alexander
,
howe
poysned
ayres
rose
out
of
corrupt
Dennes
&
Caues
,
which
infected
those
that
came
neere
them
,
partlye
with
an
outragious
kind
of
madnes
,
and
partly
consumed
them
with
a
pestilent
quality
.
There
are
some
also
that
kyll
a
man
presently
,
as
in
Phrygia
:
and
there
be
many
Welles
,
and
small
Lakes
,
and
bituminous
springes
,
or
standing
waters
,
and
places
where
Metals
haue
beene
digged
,
and
the
stinking
pudles
of
Auernus
and
Lucrinus
,
whose
lothsome
vapour
kylleth
the
Dogges
that
do
but
once
licke
of
it
,
bee
it
neuer
so
litle
,
and
stifleth
the
Fowles
that
flye
ouer
it
.
Of
these
diseases
hath
Hippocrates
Galen
in
the
same
place
.
intreated
in
his
booke
of
the
ayre
,
places
,
and
waters
.
The
Epidemij
sicknesses
,
are
taken
by
Hippocrates
,
in
two
significations
.
After
one
sort
the
Epidemius
sicknesse
is
taken
for
some
disease
which
taketh
a
great
many
of
people
away
,
whether
it
bee
flixe
,
or
tercian
ague
,
or
some
like
disease
which
raigneth
among
the
people
in
some
one
place
:
howbeit
for
the
more
part
,
the
Greeke
words
Limos
,
Galen
in
the
same
place
.
and
Diathesis
Limodes
,
are
taken
for
the
Pestilence
,
which
inuading
men
,
wéemen
&
children
,
of
all
ages
,
dispatcheth
many
out
of
their
liues
:
whether
it
procéede
first
of
the
ayre
,
or
by
infection
,
of
which
diseases
Hippocrates
hath
intreated
in
his
booke
intituled
Epidemiorum
.
Wherefore
,
what
kinde
of
disease
the
Pestilence
is
,
what
the
substaunce
thereof
is
,
and
of
what
causes
it
proceedeth
,
we
must
now
declare
.
The.
2.
Chap.
THE
Pestilence
is
a
contagious
ayre
,
not
being
the
disease
it self
,
but
the
neerest
and
most
principall
cause
thereof
,
either
raised
with
in
the
bodies
,
or
caught
abroade
,
suddeinly
weakning
the
spirites
,
&
the
powers
which
gouerne
the
body
.
The
cause
of
this
Pestilence
,
the
Galen
in
the
second
boke
of
Feuers
.
more
parte
of
learned
writers
ascribe
vnto
the
ayre
,
but
not
all
one
waye
:
for
some
are
of
opinion
that
the
poysoning
infection
is
sent
down
from
the
starres
and
planets
,
and
so
dispersed
through
the
ayre
:
other
say
that
the
ayre
it selfe
is
putrified
,
the
cause
of
which
putrifaction
they
ascribe
vnto
the
coniunctions
and
oppositions
of
the
planets
,
the
Eclips
of
the
Sunne
,
and
Moone
,
and
the
coniunction
of
Saturnus
,
with
other
euell
planets
,
by
meanes
whereof
insue
sundry
tempestes
,
&
great
chaunge
of
the
ayre
,
and
consequently
thereof
commeth
diuers
rottennes
,
and
putrifactions
.
For
the
ayre
hath
manifest
causes
of
alteracion
,
as
namelye
the
mingling
of
other
straunge
ayre
with
it
,
or
of
some
kinde
of
substaunce
else
,
which
is
most
contrary
vnto
vs
,
as
are
rotten
vapors
:
and
thereof
it
putrifieth
and
waxeth
pestilent
,
and
is
chaunged
into
the
nature
of
poison
.
Whereby
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
according
to
proportion
,
this
plague
rageth
sumtime
among
men
,
sumtime
among
beasts
,
and
sumtime
among
grasse
,
fruite
,
&
corne
.
And
there
be
many
thinges
very
common
that
are
good
for
cattel
,
&
wyl
hurt
men
:
and
contrariwise
wyll
slay
cattel
,
that
wyll
doo
men
good
.
Like
as
many
doo
perceiue
,
that
the
feeding
on
naughtie
meates
engendreth
the
plague
,
as
if
a
man
should
fall
into
the
plague
,
by
vsing
such
euill
diet
,
as
is
commonlye
séene
in
the
dearth
of
corne
and
other
victuals
:
then
immediatly
shall
he
infect
others
,
and
when
that
disease
by
going
from
one
to
other
hath
gathered
strength
,
and
hath
inuaded
many
of
all
ages
and
sexes
:
it
is
called
the
Pestilence
.
Againe
,
they
suppose
that
sumtime
the
ayre
is
infected
by
lower
causes
,
of
thinges
rotten
and
putrified
,
as
of
carcasies
vnburied
,
wythred
and
putrified
hearbes
and
weedes
,
priuies
,
dunghils
and
such
lyke
:
which
afterwarde
being
drawne
into
our
bodyes
breedeth
the
plague
,
as
some
doo
write
of
the
Putauian
pyt
.
Surely
that
this
is
the
verye
iust
iudgement
&
reuenge
of
God
,
our
barbarous
nation
being
the
verie
vttermost
land
of
this
part
of
the
worlde
,
doth
acknowledge
and
professe
,
a
most
manifest
testimonye
whereof
we
haue
in
Ezechiel
,
and
in
the
second
Ioseplius
,
the
7.
boke
and.
13.
cha.
of
the
Kinges
,
the
fowre
and
twentye
Chapter

The.

▪
Chap.
THat
secrete
force
of
infection
which
our
senses
cannot
discerne
,
consisteth
in
an
humour
,
or
some
other
kinde
of
substaunce
:
for
a
force
&
power
of
a
bodily
substaunce
,
cannot
so
much
anoy
our
bodies
.
Wherefore
,
I
thinke
it
verye
requisite
for
to
knowe
perfitlye
vppon
what
part
of
our
body
this
secrete
poison
exerciseth
his
tyrannie
,
séeing
according
to
the
diuersity
of
the
place
where
it
setleth
,
there
ariseth
not
only
diuerse
kyndes
of
pestilences
:
but
also
a
diuerse
order
of
cure
is
requyred
for
them
.
For
if
it
be
receyued
Galen
in
the.
3.
of
his
commet
.
vpon
the.
3.
of
Epid
.
into
the
substaunce
of
the
heart
,
it
resembleth
the
likenesse
of
an
Hecticke
or
consuming
feuer
:
and
many
times
it
surpriseth
the
spyrites
,
and
kylleth
the
man
presently
:
As
not
yet
full
sixe
yéeres
since
I
my selfe
sawe
in
the
Pestilence
which
raged
in
Lyons
:
where
men
fell
downe
dead
to
the
grounde
,
euen
as
they
were
going
in
the
streets
.
Sometime
it
resteth
in
the
Liuer
,
and
according
to
the
nature
of
the
humour
which
it
infecteth
:
it
causeth
a
feuer
,
as
namely
the
feuer
called
Synochus
,
if
it
haue
infected
the
blood
,
and
a
burning
feuer
if
it
be
choler
,
and
the
like
iudgement
is
also
to
bee
geuen
of
the
other
humours
.
A
like
plague
vnto
this
whereof
I
speake
,
not
fullye
fiftéene
yéeres
ago
raigned
in
Eueris
,
&
at
Vernoyle
:
whereas
a
Surgeon
through
the
grace
of
God
,
and
mine
instructions
,
saued
a
great
many
:
at
which
time
Iohn
Renart
the
Apothecarye
,
a
man
verye
well
learned
,
vsed
singular
diligence
towarde
our
cuntreymen
,
and
Citizens
.
It
hapneth
also
sometime
,
that
the
poysned
ayre
being
drawen
through
the
nostrels
into
the
braine
,
first
hurteth
the
same
,
for
sufficient
proofe
whereof
shall
serue
the
discourse
which
followeth
.
The.
4.
Chap.
IT
is
well
knowen
by
the
doctrine
of
In
his
boke
of
kernels
.
Hippocrates
,
and
the
colledge
of
Arabians
,
that
the
principall
partes
haue
theyr
voiding
places
,
issues
,
or
,
as
they
terme
them
Emunctories
,
into
which
they
clense
and
rid
away
whatsoeuer
is
noysom
vnto
them
,
speciallye
if
those
partes
be
strong
,
and
thereby
,
as
they
saye
,
is
coniecture
made
of
the
part
affected
:
as
for
example
,
if
the
botch
appeare
in
the
grine
,
it
is
a
signe
that
the
disease
is
in
the
Liuer
,
or
in
the
partes
beneath
the
midriffe
:
but
if
the
sore
breake
foorth
in
the
arme
pits
,
they
say
that
the
heart
and
the
partes
aboue
the
midriffe
are
infected
:
as
they
lykewise
gather
that
the
infection
is
in
the
braine
,
if
the
poysoned
swelling
gather
behinde
the
eares
,
or
in
places
thereabout
:
although
many
times
there
chaunceth
inflamation
of
the
kernels
about
the
eares
,
called
Parotides
,
when
a
more
vehement
heat
hath
lifted
the
matter
vp
higher
,
as
sayth
Galen
in
the
fourth
booke
of
commentaries
vppon
the
Aphorismes
,
the.
75.
Aphorisme
.
Moreouer
,
the
vrine
confirmeth
this
opinion
of
ours
,
béeing
sometime
thick
and
troubled
,
yealowe
,
and
white
,
as
we
sée
the
same
to
be
altered
according
to
the
humours
offending
,
and
diuersitye
of
the
partes
affected
:
as
many
times
the
skull
being
eaten
with
rottennes
,
and
the
rime
of
the
braine
perished
with
a
stripe
or
putrified
,
and
when
stoare
of
mater
is
gathered
within
the
skull
,
a
man
shall
perceiue
the
vrine
to
be
litle
or
nothing
at
all
chaunged
.
For
when
the
venim
féedeth
vpon
the
sound
substaunce
of
the
partes
,
the
vrine
is
lyke
the
vrine
of
one
that
is
whole
,
which
shal
be
proued
to
be
true
,
by
this
that
hereafter
followeth
.
The.
5.
Chap.
BUT
for
asmuch
as
we
concluded
before
,
that
this
infection
is
in
the
ay●●
which
wée
drawe
in
by
breathing
,
〈…〉
s
receiued
into
the
inner
partes
of
th●
body
through
the
pores
of
the
skin
,
by
the
motion
of
the
arteyres
:
how
chaunceth
it
then
that
the
heart
is
not
alwayes
infected
,
for
asmuch
as
in
our
large
breathing
,
the
ayre
which
is
drawen
in
by
the
Lungues
,
imparteth
the
contagion
sooner
vnto
the
heart
because
of
theyr
néerenes
,
then
Galen
in
the.
3.
of
his
commet
.
vpon
the.
3.
of
Epid
.
vnto
partes
be
farther
of
,
as
the
Liuer
and
the
Braine
?
Note
this
common
reason
,
sayth
Galen
,
that
a
corrupt
humour
which
is
engendred
in
all
by
one
constitucion
,
doth
not
affect
the
same
places
,
for
that
in
respect
of
al
theyr
natures
,
the
body
was
not
in
the
same
constitution
at
that
present
,
but
one
part
was
weaker
then
another
.
For
those
partes
which
be
stronger
in
qualitie
or
quantitie
,
vse
to
expulse
and
driue
awaye
the
offending
bumour
into
another
that
is
of
lesse
resistaunce
.
Wherfore
,
if
the
heart
,
eyther
of
it selfe
,
or
by
helpe
of
Phisick
,
be
strong
:
then
wyll
it
driue
the
venimous
ayre
,
eyther
to
the
Liuer
,
or
to
the
Brain
.
Moreouer
,
the
proportion
of
the
putrifaction
maye
be
in
cause
thereof
,
for
whatsoeuer
hath
the
force
to
do
any
thing
,
doth
not
immediatly
execute
the
same
vpon
what
euer
it
méeteth
withall
,
but
necessarye
it
is
that
there
be
some
naturall
likenesse

and

the
differences
of

betwéene
the
thing

,
and
the
Pacient
:
and
after
this
maner
we
affirme
that
Purgations
drawe
this
or
that
humour
by
reason
of
the
lykenesse
vnto
them
of
nature
or
substaunce
.
And
therefore
the
olde
writers
sayde
verye
well
,
that
euery
thing
cannot
worke
vppon
euerye
thing
,
but
onely
whatsoeuer
hath
some
agréement
with
the
Agent
in
matter
,
or
in
maner
of
applying
them
together
:
lyke
as
the
Ephemerum
Colchicum
,

so
called
,
&
the

,
beare
enmitie
against
the
Liuer
,
as
may
easilye
be
perceiued
by
the
bloody
flixe
,
dropsie
,
and
other
accidents
which
both
of
them
do
cause
,
and
as

are
no

proper
vnto

,
then
they
are
common
vnto
plants
,
&
brute
beastes
,
so
that
the
diuerse
kinde
of
putrifaction
which
is
in
the
ayre
,
infecteth
or
affecteth
the
diuers
partes

,
after

diuerse
kinde

.
Hippocr

in
his

of

.
&c
For
loke
what
the
ayre
is
,
such
must
needes
our
humours
and
spirites
bee
,
wherein
the
soundnesse
or
infirmitie
of
the
partes
consisteth
.
And
this
was
the
cause
that
Hippocrates
wrote
,
how
that
the
sundry
mutacion
of
tymes
,
procureth
many
diseases
:
as
namely
,
if
the
Summer
be
drie
,
and
the
wind
North
,
the
Haruest
verie
rainy
,
and
the
wind
South
,
the
winter
following
are
lyke
to
ensue
payne
in
the
head
,
coughes
,
horsenes
,
rewmes
,
and
stuffing
in
the
head
,
and
many
shal
fall
into
consumptions
:
lykewise
some
other
disposition
of
the
Summer
and
Haruest
,
ingendreth
other
kindes
of
diseases
:
so
that
sometime
they
procéede
from
the
braine
,
&
sometime
depend
vpon
other
partes
,
according
to
the
diuerse
temperature
of
the
ayre
,
and
Hippocrates
very
learnedly
hath
set
downe
in
the
thyrd
boke
of
his
Aphorismes
,
in
his
booke
of
Epidemies
,
and
of
the
ayre
,
places
,
and
waters
.
But
the
auctoritye
of
D.
Ambrosius
Pareus
,
whome
posterity
acknowledgeth
for
the
thyrd
sun
of
Aesculapius
,
doeth
much
lighten
and
confyrme
this
opinion
:
who
opening
the
bed
wherein
one
laye
sicke
of
the
Plague
,
felt
a
most
filthye
and
pestilent
sauour
,
rysing
from
the
plaguie
botch
and
carbuncle
,
which
so
strooke
his
Braine
,
that
presentlie
he
fell
in
a
sowne
to
the
ground
,
without
feeling
any
paine
at
the
heart
,
or
other
accident
that
might
declare
that
the
heart
,
or
stomacke
,
or
any
other
part
of
the
body
were
affected
:
at
length
,
recouering
strength
he
arose
,
and
his
braine
began
to
expulse
that
contagious
ayre
,
with
so
forcible
sneesing
,
that
the
blood
therewith
gusshed
out
of
his
nose
:
and
vnlesse
,
sayde
hée
,
the
expulsiue
facultie
of
my
braine
had
bene
strong
,
doubtlesse
I
had

,
for
the
Animall
or

commeth
spetting

as
Guido
de
Cauliaco
hath
noted
in
the
same
plague
which
beginning
first
at
Auenion
.
was
dispersed
ouer
all
Europe
.
Lykewise
the
painfull
Cathar
with
shortnesse
of
breath
,
which
the
Frenchmen
termed
Coqueluche
,
which
awhile
agoe
raged
ouer
all
Europe
,
was
caused
by
the
ayre
,
declaring
it selfe
to
bée
pestilent
euen
by
the
verye
force
thereof
,
and
going
from
man

which
was
the
kinde
of
that
infection
do
to
:
and
notwithstanding
,
all
Gale.
in
his
comment
.
the
accidents
and
tokens
declared
that
by
similitude
of
passion
,
the
braine
was
likewise
affected
,
as
were
heauines
and
paine
in
the
head
with
desyre
to
sléepe
,
the
mur
,
stuffing
in
the
head
,
and
distillacion
into
the
Lungues
&
stomacke
.
The
lyke
vnto
this
,
is
to
bée
founde
in
Hippocrates
in
the
thyrd
booke
of
Epedemies
,
where
he
describeth
a
pestilent
state
:
For
many
were
diseased
in
the
Iawes
,
had
impedimentes
in
theyr
speache
,
theyr
bellyes
were
troubled
with
laskes
,
many
wared
rotten
,
and
fell
into
consumptions
,
so
that
the
next
wynter
following
,
wee
were
much
troubled
with
contagious
squincies
in
these
quarters
,
which
came
to
passe
with
chaunging
of
the
winde
from
the
South
to
the
North
,
as
it
is
to
be
learned
out
of
the
twentye
fowrth
Aphorisme
of
the
first
booke
of
Hippocrates
Aphorisines
.
And
afterward
Hippocrates
addeth
,
and
the
diseases
,
sayth
he
,
which
the
pestilent
ayre
doth
bring
,
if
it
once
offend
the
Lyuer
,
are
burning
feuers
,
dropsies
,
putrifaction
of
the
lower
part
of
the
bellye
,
and
priuities
,
and
when
,
sayth
hee
,
the
rottennes
had
taken
déeper
rootes
,
many
lost
theyr
armes
,
and
from
some
the

But
if
all
these
proofes
can
not
sufficientlye
perswade
thee
,
rememember
that
the
Leprosie
is
a
contagious
disease
,
the
contagion
whereof
proceedeth
of
the
ayre
,
corrupt
and
infected
by
leprous
persons
,
which
beeing
drawne
in
by
breathing
:
infecteth
others
,
the
contagion
taking
hold
on
the
Liuer
,
which
is
the
seat
of
the
Leprosie
:
éeuen
so
,
one
that
is
sicke
of
the
plague
,
disperseth
the
infection
abrode
in
the
ayre
,
which
infecteth
those
that
are
about
him
with
the
same
sicknesse
:
wherby
it
hapneth
that
the
same
disease
,
and
hauing
the
verye
same
accidentes
many
times
continueth
a
yéere

,

I
remember
it
chaunced

in

Measelles

of

,
take
theyr
originall
of
an

sent
downe
from
the
celestiall
bodyes
into
the
ayre
,
and
are
of
the
kinde
of
Epedimious
diseases
,
and
the
forerunners
of
some
gréeuous
&
mortall
pestilence
,
the
cause
whereof
is
the
heat
and
boyling
of
blood
,
and
are
to
bée
numbred
among
diseases
of
the
lyuer
.
And
that
there
is
in
these
a
most
manifest
infection
to
be
taken
one
of
another
,
euery
simple
woman
can
tell
,
and
Rases
maketh
them
one
kinde
of
the
Pestilence
.
Thus
all
that
we
haue
hetherto
sayd
do
prooue
▪
that
the
Pestilent
ayre
sumtyme
infecteth
the
Braine
,
sumtyme
the

and
sumtime

,
according

when

Many
are
of
opinion
that
the
Pestilence
If

is
a
thyrde
kinde
of
the
burning
Feuer
,
and
iudge
that
it
procéedeth
of
Melancholicke
blood
,
eyther
putryfying
,
or
boyling
by
reason
of
the
putryfying
:
which
they
gather
to
bée
so
,
by
the
resemblaunce
which
it
hath
to
a
continual
quartaine
,
and
the
smellings
which
vse
to
appeare
in
such
Feuers
.
Howbeit
vnlesse
all
the

this

haue
bene
verye

the

companion
,
and
a
whelpe
of
the
same
hayre
,
notwithstanding
the
whole
order
of
the
cure
sheweth
that
they
differ
euen
by
whole
kinde
.
And
because
the
place
of
making
blood
and
other
humours
,
is
by
nature
appointed
vnto
the
Lyuer
,
I
wyl
shew
the
signes
If
in
blood
.
of
euery
one
:
beginning
first
with
the
signes
that
declare
the
infection
to
bee
in
the
blood
,
which
are
these
,
heat
not
byting
,
but
gentle
and
milde
,
a
stiffe
and
strouting
weerinesse
of
the
whole
body
,
stinking
sieges
,
large
and
liquide
:
lying
of
the
pacient
vpon
his
back
,
heauines
of
the
head
,
beating
of
the
temples
,
rauing
and
idle
speech
after
the
fourth
or
seauenth
day
,
smal
thyrst
or
none
at
all
,
a
filthie
tongue
,
vrine
at
the
beginning
almost
white
,
afterward
growing
redder
and
confused
:
all
the
bodye
ouer
,
speciallye
vpon
the
backe
,
breast
,
and
armes
,
litle
red
whelkes
rysing
,
not
vnlike
to
fleabites
.
If
the
infection
be
in
Choler
,
the
diseased
If
in
chole●
.
are
vexed
with
that
vnquietnes
which
the
Grecians
terme
Lismos
,
féeling
such
an
extreame
burning
within
them
,
that
thèy
alwaye
crye
to
bée
remoued
to
some
colder
place
,
although
theyr
outwarde
partes
are
not
hote
at
all
:
theyr
face
is
sometime
pale
,
and
sometime
red
,
they
thyrst
much
,
theyr
tongue
is
verye
drie
,
they
neuer
sléepe
,
their
breath
stinketh
,
they
breath
hardlye
,
for
which
cause
and
by
reason
of
theyr
immoderate
heat
,
they
desire
to
drawe
in
freshe
ayre
continually
:
theyr
sieges
are
cholericke
,
thinne
,
stinking
,
and
fattie
:
and
sometime
they
make
water
verye
yealowe
,
watrishe
,
and
thinne
.
When
the
infection
hath
taken
hold
If
in
Fleagme
.
on
the
rawer
part
of
the
blood
,
then
the
pacient
sléepeth
continuallye
,
the
body
is
slouthfull
,
and
the
partes
thereof
weerie
,
the
belching
sower
,
soft
and
flegmaticke
,
swellinges
do
aryse
with
other
signes
moe
,
declaring
the
dominion
of
fleame
.
And
therefore
tender
and
moist
natures
are
sooner
infected
then
olde
men
,
and
such
as
are
geuen
to
labour
,
or
that
are
of
a
colde
and
moist
temperament
,
and
brought
vp
with
cold
meates
.
But
when
this
pestilent
corruption
If
in
Mclancholie
.
of
the
ayre
hath
inuaded
the
dregges
of
the
blood
called
Melancholie
,
the
pacient
wyll
bee
very
carefull
and
heauy
,
and
much
more
sorrowful
then
he
was
woont
,
he
becummeth
distract
,
the
pulse
is
small
and
déepe
,
the
vrine
lyke
the
wine
of
Pomegranates
,
blackishe
,
and
whatsoeuer
sores
or
botches
breake
out
in
the
body
,
they
represent
the
coulour
and
complexion
of
their
humour
.
The.

Chap.
HEtherto
we
haue
intreated
of
the
signes
,
it
followeth
now
that
we
come
to
the
cure
,
which
consisteth
in
two
pointes
,
in
preuenting
and
dryuing
away
the
sicknes
.
The
pestilent
ayre
is
auoided
many
wayes
.
First
,
if
wee
kéepe
awaye
all
occasions
of
the
bringing
of
it
to
the
place
where
wee
dwell
,
as
we
reade
that
Marcus
Varro
did
at
Corcira
:
for
when
he
perceyued
howe
that
there
were
some
sicke
in
euerye
house
round
about
him
,
he
shut
his
windowes
whiche
opened
to
the
South
,
and
he
opened
them
that
were
to
the
North
,
and
so
preserued
all
his
familie
in
good
health
:
howbeit
that
which
Varro
did
toward
the
South
,
I
thinke
ought
to
be
done
also
when
the
winde
is
East
,
Northeast
,
and
West
also
:
for
if
the
wise
and
dilligent
Phisition
do
well
marke
it
,
he
shall
perceiue
that
the
plague
incr●a●eth
when
those
windes
do
blowe
.
So
lykewise
it
is
necessarie
to
chaunge
place
,
as
from
lowe
places
to
goe
vnto
higher
,
when
the
plague
is
ingendred
by
corruption
of
the
ayre
:
but
if
the
winde
bring
the
plague
out
of
one
cuntreye
into
another
,
then
were
it
kest
to
descend
from
a
high
dwelling
to
a
lower
,
where
the
ground
is
watrishe
,
and
the
ayre
thick
,
which
wyll
hardlye
receyue
the
impression
of
the
supernall
bodies
.
And
when
we
haue
chosen
an
house
,
then
the
pestilent
ayre
is
to
be
corrected
,
by
burning
of
such
thinges
as
eyther
by
secrete
or
manifest
qualitie
are
contrarye
to
the
infection
,
as
are
the
Trochisces
which
followe
.
Take
Styrax
calamite
,
Benioin
,
of
eche
one
dram
:
red
Roses
,
Lauender
,
Cypres
,
of
eche
halfe
a
dram
:
with
Rosewater
&
Tragagant
,
make
Trochisces
,
burne
them
in
a
chafingdishe
of
coales
,
or
else
burne
with
them
of
the
composition
called
Gallia
,
or
Alipta
moscata
,
and
such
lyke
.
It
were
verye
good
also
for
this
purpose
to
burne
such
woods
and
hearbes
as
yéeld
a
sweet
sauour
,
as
Rosemary
,
Sage
,
Lauender
,
Baies
,
Ciprus
wood
,
Juniper
,
the
wood
&
the
barries
,
the
wood
Aloes
,
Cinnamon
&
Cloues
.
Likewise
the
sprincling
of
sweete
waters
about
the
chamber
,
amendeth
the
euill
disposition
of
the
ayre
,
as
the
water
of
Lauender
and
Maierom
,
but
these
are
most
to
be
vsed
when
the
ayre
is
moist
,
cloudye
,
and
colde
:
For
the
warme
ayre
more
spéedely
and
redelye
perceth
into
our
bodies
,
and
is
soonest
infected
with
the
qualitye
of
some
other
thing
,
as
Auicen
hath
noted
in
his
first
booke
,
in
the
Chapter
of
varietye
of
seasons
:
Wherefore
prouision
must
bee
made
that
it
waxe
not
verye
hote
,
by
sprincling
of
fayre
water
and
vineger
,
rose-vineger
:
by
setting
vp
Wyllowe
boughes
,
and
by
strawing
the
Chamber
with
water
lyllies
,
flagges
,
and
such
like
.
The.

BUt
nowe
it
is
not
inough
in
this
maner
to
haue
amended
the
ayre
,
but
also
the
principal
parts
must
bee
strengthened
,
both
with
thinges
receyued
inward
,
and
applied
outwarde
,
to
th
intent
they
maye
the
more
valiauntlye
withstande
the
pestilent
ayre
.
And
among
those
thinges
to
which
the
Grecians
giue
name
for
that
they
be
hanged
about
vs
:
I
lyke
especiallye
of
twaine
:
the
one
is
,
if
a
hole
be
made
in
a
hasyll
nut
,
and
the
kernel
b●e
pulled
forth
with
a
pin
,
and
the
place
fylled
vp
againe
with
common
quicksiluer
,
and
hanged
about
the
neck
,
it
preserueth
a
man
wonderfully
from
the
pestilence
.
This
Medicine
I
learned
aboue
twelue
yéeres
agoe
,
of
the
Phisition
to
the
Right
honourable
the
Lord
Vidam
that
nowe
dead
is
.
For
at
what
time
Henrie
the
second
,
King
of
Fraunce
,
lead
his
armie
into
Germanie
,
and
at
the
siedge
of
the
Citie
of
Ment●
hee
preserued
not
onelye
him selfe
,
but
also
his
Surgeon
which
went
to
them
that
had
the
plague
,
and
dressed
them
:
Of
this
Medicine
Marsilius
Ficinus
speaketh
.
There
is
also
another
such
medicine
,
The.
7.
cha.
of
his
boke
of
the
Pestilence
.
and
it
is
Christialline
,
and
red
Arsnick
,
the
effect
whereof
I
learned
at
Argentine
and
Basil
,
in
the
yeere
of
our
Lord.
1564.
at
what
tyme
the
plague
raigned
almost
ouer
all
Germanie
.
But
for
as
much
as
Georgius
Agricola
in
his
thyrd
booke
,
of
the
nature
of
things
digged
out
of
the
ground
,
and
after
him
Theodosius
Montuus
haue
sufficiently
disputed
of
this
matter
,
I
wyll
onelye
set
downe
the
receite
of
the
Medicine
,
which
is
after
this
maner
:
Take
Arsnick
christalline
and
red
,
of
eche
a
lyke
quantitie
,
beate
them
into
powder
,
whereof
with
the
white
of
an
egge
,
or
the
Mucciladge
of
Tragagant
,
you
shall
make
a
lozenge
a
finger
thicke
,
then
folde
it
in
a
double
péece
of
silke
,
&
applye
it
vnto
the
region
of
the
hart
:
but
beware
that
the
moyst
Arsnicke
,
exulcerate
not
the
skin
,
and
therefore
in
the
morning
you
must
diligentlye
wipe
the
place
,
or
at
what
tyme
so
euer
else
the
pacient
sweateth
,
for
which
cause
it
were
good
to
put
a
fayre
linnen
cloath
betwéene
:
The
Arsnicke
being

applyed
,
strengthneth
as
wel
the
heart
as
the
Mylt
,
as
Trallianus
writeth
,
but
it
worketh
not
that
effect
of
custome
,
as
Theodosius
sayth
.
Surely
in
this
one
point
God
wonderfullye
declareth
his
prouidence
,
when
he
teacheth
vs
to
applye
strong
and
deadlye
poysons
vnto
our
commoditie
:
as
Galen
sheweth
in
the
eleuenth
booke
of
simple
Medicines
of
the
wine
made
of
Uipers
:
and
our
men
of
late
tyme
haue
applyed
the
oyle
of
Scorpions
in
the
cure
of
the
plague
with
so
good
successe
,
that
onelye
with
the
annointing
of
this
oyle
they
dryue
awaye
the
euyll
qualitye
of
the
pestilent
ayre
,
by
example
of
them
which
haue
gréeuous
vlcers
in
theyr
feete
.
D.
Ambrosius
Pareus
geueth
this
counsell
,
that
they
which
wyll
goe
visite
the
sicke
of
the
plague
,
shoulde
fyrst
make
issues
in
theyr
armes
and
legges
,
bicause
nature
vseth
to
purge
out
by
those
places
whatsoeuer
venimous
humour
is
in
the
whole
bodye
,
&
dryuing
that
thether
whatsoeuer
gathereth
vnto
any
principall
part
.
Moreouer
,
an
oyntment
made
of
Laserpitium
,
the
fat
of
venimous
Serpentes
,
and
Uitrioll
is
much
commended
:
or
if
of
these
be
made
a
broade
cake
and
folded
in
sylke
,
and
layd
vpon
the
heart
and
arteries
.
I
haue
also
vsed
the
Linament
which
foloweth
not
only
in
the
Pestilence
,
but
also
in
the
quiuering
of
the
heart
,
which
is
thus
made
:
Take
of
the
iuce
of
Cardiaca
one
ounce
,
of
Camfire
halfe
a
dram
,
of
Saffron
one
scruple
,
with
as
muche
waxe
as
sufficeth
,
make
thereof
an
oyntment
,
and
therewith
anoynt
the
region
of
the
heart
:
or
make
an
oyntment
of
the
iuce
of
Buglosse
,
Borage
,
and
Saffron
.
There
maye
also
be
one
made
to
the
same
effect
of
roses
,
violets
,
red
Saunders
,
Cinnamom
,
Cloues
,
Lauender
Flowers
,
Orenge
pilles
,
&
the
wood
Agallochum
,
which
is
prepared
in
maner
following
.
Take
of
the
three
kindes
of
Saunders
,
Roses
,
Wormwood
,
Agrimonie
,
of
eche
halfe
an
ounce
,
beate
them
into
powder
,
and
boyle
them
ouer
a
softe
fyre
an
houre
&
an
halfe
,
then
straine
the
liquour
,
and
wring
it
harde
through
a
linnen
cloth
,
then
seeth
it
againe
ouer
the
fyre
,
vntyll
it
come
to
the
thicknesse
of
Honie
,
then
put
thereto
the
iuce
of
Lettice
,
smalledge
,
wylde
succorie
,
of
eche
thrée
drams
,
Camfyre
a
dram
,
and
with
a
lytle
waxe
make
thereof
an
oyntment
,
and
anoint
therewith
the
region
of
the
Liuer
.
After
this
order
the
oyntments
which
are
prepared
,
I
better
lyke
of
,
not
onely
in
the
Pestilence
,
but
also
in
other
continuall
Feuers
,
then
if
the
pouders
were
put
in
whole
,
for
else
howe
could
those
thicke
and
grosse
pouders
mingled
with
the
iuces
and
oiles
,
doo
any
good
vnto
the
place
?
Lyke
wise
there
maye
be
made
semblable
oyntmentes
for
the
heart
,
of
the
roote
of
Lormentill
,
Zedoarie
,
Roses
,
&
such
lyke
.
It
is
good
also
to
drop
into
the
eare
,
a
twoo
or
thrée
drops
of
the
oyle
of
Sage
,
or
Cloues
,
with
a
lytle
Muske
.
I
prepare
oyles
for
that
purpose
after
this
maner
:
Take
of
Nutmegges
one
ounce
,
Cloues
,
and
Cinamom
,
of
eche
halfe
an
ounce
,
drye
Sage
an
ounce
,
swéete
Almondes
twoo
ounces
,
make
them
all
into
pouder
,
and
sprincle
them
with
Aqua
vitae
,
and
presse
it
hard
as
you
would
do
oyle
of
Almondes
:
and
vse
it
as
is
afore
declared
:
and
with
the
same
oyle
you
may
anoynt
your
temples
and
nostrels
.
It
is
good
also
to
kéepe
a
péece
of
the
rinde
of
a
Citron
in
the
mouth
,
or
Cinamom
,
Zedoarie
,
Angelica
,
or
such
lyke
.
Our
husbandmen
in
the
Cuntreye
smell
vnto
hearbe
grace
,
it
were
not
a
misse
neyther
to
beare
in
a
spunge
to
smell
vnto
,
Cinamom
water
,
rose
vineger
,
rose
water
,
or
this
sweet
ball
,
the
discription
wherof
insueth
:
Take
roses
,
Styrax
calamite
,
Cloues
,
of
eche
twoo
ounces
,
Arrace
rootes
of
Florence
,
thrée
ounces
,
Muske
twoo
scruples
,
of
these
make
a
swéete
ball
.
Some
stiepe
Cloues
in
vineger
al
night
,
&
eate
them
in
the
morning
,
and
washe
their
face
,
arme
holes
,
and
priuie
partes
with
vineger
.
The
Phisitions
of
Germanie
,
shaue
the
roote
of
the
great
cloat
leafe
,
and
stiepe
it
in
vineger
a
night
or
more
,
than
they
roule
it
in
Suger
,
and
geue
it
in
the
morning
to
preuent
the
plague
.
But
I
vse
to
laye
the
same
roote
to
sooke
in
whyte
wine
,
or
wine
of
wormewood
,
and
in
the
morning
geue
it
to
drincke
with
Sugar
.

THose
things
which
are
receyued
in
at
the
mouth
to
preuent
the
sicknesse
,
are
partlye
Medicines
against
poyson
and
infection
,
and
partlye
purgatiue
remedies
,
for
wée
hope
that
such
purgatiues
are
onely
néedefull
for
this
purpose
,
as
do
clense
the
first
region
of
the
bodye
,
without
moouing
the
humours
.
For
we
must
take
héede
least
by
sharpe
and
strong
purgations
we
cause
a
laske
,
which
were
verye
daungerous
in
this
disease
.
For
in
a
pestilent
constitucion
,
the
humors
be
mooued
by
the
smallest
occasion
that
maye
bée
,
and
forciblye
doo
run
downe
into
the
bellie
:
such
purgatiues
whereof
we
now
speake
,
are
Rhabard
&
Agarike
made
in
infusion
in
the
decoction
of
such
hearbes
as
are
naturall
,
good
against
this
infection
,
adding
thereto
the
Syrupe
made
by
infusion
of
Damaske
roses
,
of
Uiolets
,
of
Succorye
compound
,
and
such
other
lyke

as
in

age
,
custome
,
and

,
maye
bée
prescribed
by
the
skilfull
Phisition
.
Howbeit
,
for
children
I
vse
Rhabarb
thus
prepared
.
Cut
Rhabarb
into
small
slices
,
&
moysten
them
with
the
vapour
of
whyte
wine
,
then
stiepe
it
with
Cinamom
a
daye
and
a
nyght
in
rose
water
,
in
Summer
:
but
in
Wynter
in
white
Wine
and
rose
water
mingled
togeather
,
and
when
the
Rhabarb
hath
lost
his
colour
in
the
water
,
then
dreane
that
water
awaye
and
put
freshe
too
,
and
thus
shall
you
doo
vntyll
the
Rhabarb
coulour
the
water
no
more
:
then
take
those
couloured
waters
,
and
boyle
them
to
the
one
halfe
ouer
a
good
fire
for
temperate
heate
:
then
put
vnto
this
liquour
,
Sugar
or
Honye
,
and
boyle
it
againe
vnto
the
consistence
of
a
Syrupe
perfectly
boiled
,
and
then
put
the
slices
of
Rhabarb
into
the
sirupe
:
Of
this
sirupe
you
may
minister
twoo
or
thrée
sponefuls
vnto
children
of
twoo

and
to
them
that
are
elder
,
you
maye
geue
one
slice
of
the
Rhabarb
with
the
sirupe
.
With
this
Medicine
you

not
onelye
preserue
them
from
the
plague
,
but
also
slaie
and
driue
foorth
the
Wormes
that
bée
in
the
guts
.
Or
else
,
when
you
haue
thus
sliced
your
Rhabarb
,
mingle
it
with
the
sirupe
of
Uiolets
,
Succorie
,
or
roses
,
and
while
the
substance
of
the
Rhabarb
is
somwhat
soft
,
séeth
the
sirupe
againe
,
&
when
it
is
cold
put
thereto
Rhabarb
againe
with
Cinamom
&
cloues
,
and
minister
foure
or
fiue
slices
with
two
sponfuls
of
sirupe
.
And
vnto
those
that
are
elder
,
but
delicate
,
wée
vse
to

in
Winter
pilles
of
Rhabarb
,
Aloës

I
knewe
one
in
England
,
Baptista
Agnelli
,
who
had
spent
all
his
life
in
the
art
of
Distilling
,
hee
vsed
this
Opiate
in
the
time
of
Pestilence
with
verye
good
successe
,
whose
description
followeth
:
Take
Agrimonie
,
Wormwood
romane
,
of
eche
twoo
handfuls
,
Anise
halfe
an
ounce
,
Sene
twoo
ounces
,
boyle
them
in
common
water
,
the
space
of
foure
houres
,
then
straine
them
all
stronglye
,
and
vnto
the
strayned
licour
put
an
ounce
of
Sugar
,
of
clensed
Cassia
twoo
ounces
,
make
it
after
the
maner
of
an
Opiate
,
whereof
you
may
geue
half
an
ounce
at
a
time
,
for
it
purgeth
gentlye
,
without
troubling
the
humours
.
Some
put
Manna
to
the
sirupe
of
Roses
,
and
so
make
an
Opiate
.
But
all
wryters
commende
the
pilles
called
Ruffi
,
or
Common
,
or
of
Aloes
,
Saffron
,
and
Mirrhe
,
not
onely
because
they
purge
euyll
humours
,
but
because
they
resist
putrifaction
,
strengthning
the
heart
,
Lyuer
,
and
other

consume
superfluous

But
they
which

:
or
they
in
whome
blood

would
haue

THus
when
at
sundrye
times
the
body
hath
bene
gentlie
purged
,
let
the
Pacient
take
betimes
in
the

fasting
a
dram
of
this
Opiate
following
:
Lake

Triacle
one

of
Tunica
,

,
of

Or
thus
:

licour
with
Sugar
sufficient
vnto

and
make
it
an

make
it
an
Clectuarye
in

.
After
the

order
you

good

The

wicked

desperate
varlets
,
whome
the
Magistrates
of
Lions
put
to
death
for
carreing
about

increasing
the

Leonhardus

that
there
was
nothing

both
to
preuent
and
to
cure

plague
,
and

sayde

.
The.
11.
Chap.
FOr
as
much
as
at
the
beginning
of
this
disease
,
there
is
great
plentye
of
euyll
humours
gathered
into
the
stomack
,
and
other
common
passedges
of
the
bodye
,
which
may
easilye
bee
discerned
by
the
burning
,
and
byting
of
the
stomacke
,
vnquencheable
thyrst
,
lothing
,
vomyting
of
fleame
,
choler
,
or
some
other
humour
:
then
must
the
cure
bee
begun
by
clensing
the
bellye
with
a
suppositour
,
or
common
Olyster
.
Afterward
the
pacient
maye
take
a
dram
of
mine
Electuarye
,
whose
discription
is
to
bee
founde
in
the
●yght
Chapter
,
and
twoo
or
three
howers
after
that
,
you
must
prouoke
vomite
with
Antimonie
,
whose
preparation
you
shall
finde
discribed
in
the
ende
of
this
treatise
.
But
to
the
intent
that
the
pacient
maye
vomite
with
more
ease
and
lesse
trouble
vnto
him
,
it
were
good
for
him
to
sup
the
broath
of
a
Chick
,
an
hower
or
twaine
after
hee
haue
receyued
the
vomite
,
and
to
doo
so
as
often
as
hée
perceiueth
him selfe
mooued
to
vomite
.
For
the
corrupt
humours
which
the
Antimonie
hath
drawne
into
the
capacitie
of
the
stomack
,
wyl
be
without
any
trouble
cast
foorth
with
the
breath
.
For
vomiting
vpon
an
empty
stomack
is
painful
.
But
they
that
haue
not
Antimonie
in
aredines
,
let
them
take
one
or
two
of
the
inner
kernels
of
the
straunge
Indian
Nut
,
which
is
as
pleasaunt
vnto
the
mouth
,
as
the
Filbeard
or
Walnut
,
but
it
prouoketh
vomit
very
strongly
,
a
medicine
truely
not
to
be
despised
,
for
it
néedeth
no
preparation
,
and
may
alwayes
be
at
hand
in
areadines
.
The
effecte
of
this
Medicine
I
learned
at
And
warpe
,
of
an
Italian
Surgeon
,
when
I
trauailed
that
waye
out
of
England
into
Germanie
.
At
the
last
Nauigation
out
of
Hispania
noua
,
the
Admirall
of
the
fléete
brought
great
stoare
of
these
into
Normandy
:
the
Trée
whereon
they
grow
,
as
he
told
,
is
al
the
stemme
ouer
full
of
sharpe
prickles
lyke
the
hip
trée
,
and
as
big
as
our
plum
trées
,
full
of
boughes
growing
streight
foorth
at
the
top
,
whereof
the
fruite
groweth
like
a
Chestnut
,
wherin
are
contayned
fower
or
fiue
nuts
,
blackishe
,
somewhat
long
,
round
,
and
lyke
filbeards
.
These
,
when
the
prickly
huske
gapeth
with
ripenes
,
many
times
fall
downe
alone
.
But
because
no
man
shal
thinke
that
I
father
some
glorious
lye
in
sight
of
the
world
,
vpon
these
rare
Merchaundize
,
which
are
brought
out
of
India
,
the
stéede
and
vertues
of
this
Nut
maye
bee
supplied
by
fine
kernels
or
séedes
of
the
hearbe
called
Palma
Christi
,
or
commonly
Ricinum
,
for
they
purge
the
bellye
,
and
there
withal
prouoke
vomite
,
peraduenture
as
well
as
Matthiolus
his
Antimonie
doth
.
But
good
héede
must
be
taken
,
least
being
delighted
with
the
swéetnesse
of
the
meate
,
there
be
too
many
eaten
of
them
,
for
then
they
wyll
cause
a
superpurgation
:
the
profe
whereof
I
found
of
late
in
a
certaine
noble
man
,
who
,
I
being
not
priuie
thereof
,
deuoured
fiftéene
kernels
,
and
with
sieging
&
vomitting
had
almost
purged
out
his
life
.
I
my selfe
a
fewe
yéeres
since
béeing
in
England
,
ministred
twoo
ounces
of
the
hearb
Erisinum
,
with
the
waters
of
Buglosse
,
Scabious
,
&
Carduus
benedictus
to
prouoke
vomit
,
with
so
good
successe
,
that
at
one
time
the
pacientes
vomited
,
and
draue
out
their
sores
.
Some
geue
the
distylled
water
of
wild
Sorrell
,
mingled
with
vineger
,
and
a
lytle
Uitrioll
,
to
prouoke
vomit
.
Take
Bolearmoniack
prepared
,
Cinamom
,
of
eche
a
dram
&
an
halfe
,
the
roote
of
Dittamnie
,
Tormentill
,
Pimpernell
,
Gentian
,
of
eche
twoo
drams
,
the
séeds
of
the
Citron
,
and
of
Sorrell
,
of
eche
a
dram
&
an
halfe
,
of
al
kindes
of
Saunders
,
Zedoarie
,
Angelica
,
Scordium
,
shauinges
of
Iuorie
,
of
eche
one
dram
,
&
of
the
horne
of
a
young
heart
,
shaued
neare
vnto
the
head
,
halfe
a
dram
,
make
thereof
a
pouder
with
thrise
so
muche
Sugar
.
The
quantitye
to
be
ministred
is
one
dram
,
or
fower
scruples
in
the
water
of
Buglosse
,
Scabious
,
or
in
the
sirupe
of
Limons
.
Aboue
fiftéene
yéere
agoe
,
I
knewe
a
Surgeon
at
the
Citie
of
Roan
,
an
old
man
,
who
was
found
&
maintayned
by
the
common
charge
of
the
Citie
,
to
the
intent
he
should
goe
vnto
all
the
Citizens
that
were
sicke
in
time
of
Pestilence
:
He
vsed
at
the
first
assault
of
the
sicknesse
to
let
them
blood
,
as
I
wyl
afterward
declare
,
and
afterward
he
gaue
them
prepared
Calcanthum
,
as
he
termed
it
,
to
prouoke
them
to
vomite
,
with
good
successe
.
The
same
also
vsed
Antimonic
,
before
that
Matthiolus
had
set
forth
his
commentaries
vpon
Dioscorides
,
and
this
is
the
maner
of
preparing
the
Calcanthum
:
Take
vitriol
romane
and
drie
it
very
diligently
,
then
dissolue
it
in
water
,
&
clense
the
water
cléerely
from
the
residence
,
then
Euaporate
this
cleered
water
awaye
,
&
you
shall
haue
your
vitrioll
in
the
bottome
like
salt
,
which
you
may
vse
with
conserue
of
roses
,
of
the
flowers
of
rosemarye
,
or
Borage
water
,
twoo
scruples
or
one
dram
of
the
salt
at
a
time
:
touching
this
matter
,
séeke
more
in
Guainerius
Fumanellus
,
and
Amatus
Lusitanus
.
In
smaller
diseases
,
I
haue
commonly
vsed
to
geue
a
vomit
of
the
séede
of
Arrage
,
Radish
,
Walwort
,
Broome
,
&
the
roote
of
Assarabacca
,
&
the
diligent
Readers
maye
seeke
for
the
lyke
receites
in
the
bookes
of
practicioners
,
alwayes
remembring
this
,
that
in
this
diseasey
,
as
strongest
must
bée
vsed
,
that
the
humorie
may
not
be
stirred
only
,
but
expelled
also
.
And
when
the
pacient
hath
made
an
ende
of
vomiting
,
he
must

THey
which
haue
no
lyking
to
vomit
at
the
beginning
of
the
sicknes
,
or
when
they
haue
done
vomiting
,
let
them
,
if
it
be
possible
,
sweat
abundantly
.
For
those
medicines
which
prouoke
sweate
do
not
only
helpe
to
the
driuing
forth
of
botches
,
but
also
expell
the
verye
séede
&
ground
of
the
pestilent
putrifaction
with
the
thinnest
part
of
the
blood
through
the
smal
passages
of
the
skin
.
The
profe
herof
is
cléere
,
if
we
take
a
president
from
the
cure
of
the
French
pocks
:
for
as
no
man
wyl
graunt
that
they
be
perfectly
healed
,
vnles
the
sores
be
cured
by
bringing
them
vnto
suppuration
by
sundry
&
often
times
sweating
,
or
by
any
other
means
wherby
the
poisoned
humour
which
possessed
the
principall
part
be
drawen
forth
:
so
likewise
neyther
can
the
pestilent
disease
or
plague
be
remedied
,
vnlesse
the
néerest
&
chéefest
cause
,
together
with
the
bumor
whereon
it
feedeth
,
are
by
nature
voided
into
the
proper
issue
,
or
some
other
conuenient
place
.
Now
therefore
must
we
doo
our
best
in
describing
the
most
fit
&
soueraine
medicines
to
prouoke
sweat
.
And
among
the
residue
that
are
deuised
by
the
expert
in
the
secretes
of
Philosophy
,
as
principall
are
commended
the
salt
made
of
wormwood
,
&
of
Scabious
,
being
such
as
being
ministred
in
very
litle
quantity
,
do
not
onely
prouoke
sweat
verye
abundantlye
:
but
also
withstand
this
sicknes
mightely
.
And
no
maruaile
,
since
Hippocrates
said
,
that
salt
cureth
the
iaundice
:
For
salt
by
cutting
&
making
thin
,
dischargeth
the
stopping
of
the
intrailes
,
&
by
the
vertue
which
it
hath
to
drie
,
it
resisteth
putrifaction
,
which
many
times
is
ioyned
with
the
iaundice
and
the
pestilence
.
If
these
properties
be
common
to
the
salt
which
we
eate
with
our
meate
,
much
more
is
it
peculiar
vnto
this
kinde
of
salt
whereof
I
now
speake
,
which
hath
in
it
a
firy
quality
of
the
thing
,
out
of
which
it
is
drawne
.
The
making
of
the
salt
is
after
Raymun
.
Lul
in
Clauicula
.
this
maner
.
Take
wormwood
romane
,
&
scabious
,
&
burne
them
to
ashes
,
&
poure
common
fayre
water
vnto
them
,
&
boyle
them
halfe
an
hower
&
more
,
then
straine
the
water
,
&
put
freshe
vnto
the
ashes
,
and
boile
it
as
before
,
which
you
shall
doo
so
often
vntil
in
boiling
the
water
chaunge
neither
tast
,
nor
colour
Then
clense
these
waters
which
you
haue
kept
,
either
through
a
cloth
,
or
by
dreaning
,
and
cause
it
to
bée
euaporated
away
by
a
soft
fire
,
and
you
shal
haue
the
salt
in
the
bottom
&
sides
of
the
vessell
,
whereof
you
shal
geue
x.
grains
in
white
wine
,
delaied
with
the
water
of
Buglosse
,
conserue
of
roses
,
or
the
water
of
Citrons
before
discribed
.
With
this
Medicine
onely
many
were
saued
of
the
plague
,
in
the
yéere
of
our
Lord.
1567.
at
what
time
it
raigned
ouer
all
England
&
Germani
.
You
may
also
after
the
same
maner
,
and
to
the
same
purpose
,
draw
a
salt
out
of
Angelica
,
Zedoarie
,
Guaicum
,
&
such
like
:
But
thys
much
I
aduertise
the
Readers
,
the
vnto
sweating
medicines
they
put
some
thing
that
may
helpe
the
part
affected
by
natural
inclination
,
as
if
the
gréefe
be
in
the
Liuer
,
geue
the
salt
in
the
decoction
of
such
hearbs
as
experience
hath
taught
do
comfort
the
Liuer
,
&
the
lyke
discrecion
is
to
be
vsed
in
the
other
partes
.
Ierome
of
Flaunders
a
Surgeon
,
when
he
was
once
heartned
by
the
plague
that
was
at
London
,
began
boldly
to
goe
visite
first
his
friendes
,
&
afterward
the
common
people
of
the
Englishmen
that
were
sick
,
to
the
imitacion
of
them
who
hauing
once
escaped
the
daunger
of
the
Sea
&
warre
,
goe
vnto
the
same
againe
with
better
courage
,
hoping
the
hey
may
escape
harder
perils
,
as
saufe
they
did
before
.
And
this
was
a
cause
to
make
them
lesse
dispaire
of
recouerie
.
He
gaue
them
ten
or
twelue
graines
of
salt
made
of
the
Ashe
trée
,
which
he
had
of
a
friend
,
which
he
ministred
vnto
them
in
the
conserue
of
Borage
,
Rosemary
flowers
,
Roses
,
or
in
the
water
of
Carduus
benedictus
,
or
Scabious
,
&
immediatly
their
bodies
ran
all
on
a
sweat
,
&
the
sick
were
recured
,
eyther
the
mallice
of
the
disease
being
ouercome
or
dryuen
forth
into
some
voiding
place
,
as
he
faithfully
reported
the
same
vnto
mée
,
and
other
his
friendes
.
These
thinges
haue
I
not
gathered
out
of
the
most
vaine
trifles
of
Paracelsus
,
as
Andernacus
a
man
verye
well
learned
,
&
Adamus
a
Bodestein
can
wel
remember
,
but
rather
out
of
Geber
,
&
Raymundus
Lullius
.
For
Geber
sayth
,
that
of
euery
In

thing
may
be
made
Lime
,
of
Lime
salt
,
of
salt
,
water
,
or
oyle
.
And
indeede
if
you
dissolue
this
salt
in
Aqua
vitae
,
&
let
it
putrifye
fiue
or
sixe
dayes
in
Balneo
,
or
Dungue
:
&
afterward
distyll
it
,
you
shal
haue
an

,
whereof
thrée

But
they
that
haue
no
leisure
to
prepare
their
salt
,
let
them
vse
the
medicines
following
:
Take
Triacle
thrée
ounces
,
conserue
of
Buglosse
,
&
of
the
flowers
of
Rosemary
,
of

with

of

of

distyl

Or
boyle
Milium
in

vntyll
it

then
take

,
mingle

togeather
,
&
let
the

,
&
it
prouoketh

.
This
kinde
of
remedie
also
we
vse

&
〈…〉

But
the
most

remedy
is
prepared
of
the

the
rootes
called
Chynae

&
Zarsa

adding
thereto
the

&
the

with

I
know
a

at

who

vsed
to

of

such
like
,
which
we
vse
ordinarely
in
curing
the
Frenche
pockes
:
but
the
vse
of
our
Mercurie
water
is
more
effectual
,
wherwith
we
vse
to
bathe
al
the
ioynts
of
the
body
,
to
prouoke
sweat
in
the
Plague
,
&
in
the
French
pocks
,
of
which
medicines
we
wyl

wherin
it

to

.
Wherefore
,
assoone
as
thou
cūmest
to
one
whom
thou
suspectest
to
be
sick
of
the
plague
,
geue
him
a
dram
of
the
Electuarie
following
:
Take
Angelica
,
Zedoary
,
Tormentill
,
Gentian
,
of
eche
an
ounce
,
the
séedes
of
Carduus
benedictus
,
of
Citrons
,
of
eche
two
drams
,
beate
them
into
pouder
,
&
boile
them
ouer
a
soft
fire
the
space
of
twoo
or
thrée
howers
,
then
straine
them
&
wring
them
hard
,
and
boyle
the
strained
lycour
with
Sugar
,
vnto
the
consistence
of
an
Opiate
,
or
make
it
into
an
Electuarie
.
In
the
stede
of
this
composition
,
take
twoo
drams
of
the
Opiate
before
described
,
with
the
dystilled
water
of
Citrons
:
and
in
the
meane
while
,
search
diligently
in
what
part
of
the
bodye
the
infection
lurketh
,
which
you
may
easily
perceyue
by
the
agréement
&
concurse
of
signes
,
wherof
we
haue
intreated
before
.
Wherfore
,
if
the
infection
be
in
the
Liuer
〈…〉
paine
,
and
pricking
,
and
sti
〈…〉
be
grine
:
immediatly
let
the
sh〈…〉
in
the
ancle
veines
,
but
if
the
b
〈…〉
not
foorth
in
sufficient
quantitye
or
〈…〉
e
for
some
other
consideration
it
be
not
good
to
open
those
veines
,
them
were
it
good
to
set
cupping
glasses
vnto
the
place
with
scarification
,
and
before
,
or
immediatly
after
opening
the
veine
,
to
mooue
the
belly
with
a
suppositour
made
of
Honie
,
or
the
common
Glyster
,
&
afterward
set
cupping
glasses
to
the
grine
where
it
beginneth
to
swel
,
&
foure
fingers
breadth
beneath
the
place
affected
,
applye
the
leaues
of
Elleborus
niger
,
which
Plinie
calleth
Consiligo
,
layd
too
playsterwise
.
And
to
draw
the
corruption
foorth
vnto
the
voyding
place
,
the
roote
and
leaues
of
Yarrowe
,
stamped
with
common
salt
,
&
layd
too
after
the
same
maner
,
is
very
good
to
breake
the
botch
,
as
the
same
varlets
of
whom
we
made
mencion
before
,
declared
at
theyr
death
,
as
Maister
Laigle
,
the
flower
of
our
Citie
,
a
very
wel
learned
Phisition
,
&
a
man
of
good
credite
,
affirmed
vnto
mée
.
For
being
demaunded
by
the
gouernour
how
they
saued
them
whome
they
had
infected
〈…〉
heyr
wyll
?
they
aunswe
〈…〉
s
medicine
only
they
vsed
〈…〉
e
poison
which
possessed
the
〈…〉
es
,
&
so
they
saued
them
〈…〉
ould
not
haue
to
perishe
.
The
〈…〉
hale
of
the
walnut
with
salt
,
hath
the
same
effect
,
as
also
Brionie
,
the
black
vine
,
&
the
inner
rinde
of
Viburnum
.
While
the
Surgeon
is
busie
about
these
maters
,
let
him
vse
also
the
ointments
afore
described
for
the
Liuer
&
the
heart
,
or
let
him
anoint
the
region
of
the
heart
with
oyle
made
of
the
kernels
or
the
flouers
of
Peaches
,
or
of
rosemary
,
or
S.
Johns
wort
.
Or
beat
dried
roses
into
very
fine
pouder
,
&
boyle
it
in
rosewater
an
houre
&
an
half
,
or
sumwhat
more
,
than
strain
it
hard
,
the
the
finest
part
of
the
pouder
which
is
dissolued
by
boyli
,
may
passe
through
the
lynnen
strayner
.
Then
when
it
is
strained
,
boyle
it
againe
ouer
a
soft
fire
,
vntyl
it
come
to
the
consistence
of
hony
,
or
an
oyntment
,
&
therewith
anoynt
the
region
of
the
heart
.
This
is
the
maner
to
draw
the
earth
(
as
they
terme
it
)
out
of
simples
,
as
I
my selfe
at
other
tymes
haue
drawne
the
like
out
of
wormwood
,
Gaules
,
Pomegranate
floures
,
&
such
lyke
,
against
harde
milte
〈…〉
bleeding
of
the
Hemerodes
,
〈…〉
long
&
stubborne
diseases
〈…〉
&
vnto
the
roses
may
be
a
〈…〉
of
Citrons
,
of
Orenges
,
a
〈…〉
rs
of
Gentian
,
especiallye
in
Burgondie
,
which
is
a
place
that
nourisheth
most
rare
and
precious
simples
.
I
vse
to
put
vnto
this
oyntment
while
it
is
boyling
a
fewe
drops
of
the
iuce
of
Limons
,
that
by
reason
of
the
more
liuely
heat
,
and
pleasantnes
of
the
tast
,
it
may
be
the
more
acceptable
vnto
the
sicke
person
.
If
there
appeare
any
swelling
in
the
necke
,
or
about
the
eares
,
or
any
other
signes
declare
the
infection
to
bée
in
the
Braine
,
the
forehead
veine
must
be
opened
,
or
else
the
small
veines
in
the
Nose
,
with
Milfoile
thrust
into
the
nostrels
,
or
with
some
other
pricking
thing
.
The
learned
and
expert
Surgeons
do
open
the
outward
veine
of
the
throate
,
with
no
feare
or
daunger
of
to
much
confluxe
of
blood
,
as
I
my selfe
haue
also
experimented
in
the
continuing
headach
.
The
later
practicioners
let
blood
in
a
small
quantitie
out
of
Cephalica
,
othersome
open
the
veines
that
are
vnder
the
tongue
,
bicause
,
as
the
diuine
Hippocrates
〈…〉
ten
,
it

〈…〉
very
good
reason

that
it
〈…〉
to
apply
cupping

〈…〉ation
vpon
the
neck

back
,
〈…〉
and
armes
,
and
beneath
the
place
affected
must
the
things
be
applied
which
I
described
erewhile
.
When
the
swelling
riseth
vnder
the
arme
,
open
the
veine
Basilica
on
the
same
side
,
where
the
swelling
appeareth
.
And
if
it
ryse
vnder
both
armes
,
open
the
Basilica
in
the
right
arme
,
then
make
a
little
cut
in
the
inner
side
of
the
hand
on
the
same
side
,
right
against
the
little
finger
,
and
then
lay
vnto
the
cut
Scordium
,
or
Sauce
alone
in
the
steede
thereof
,
to
drawe
forth
the
Uenim
at
the
peculiar
voyding
place
:
this

I
learned
of
D.
Pelleterius
Bishop
of
Monpelier
when
he
was

of

who
sumtime
was
my
mayster

vsed
to

to
the
same
purpose
.
Now
when
the
botch

swolne
somwhat
bigge
,
then
lay
therto
an
Oynion
rosted
in
the
embers
with
garlick
,
and
barrowes
greace
,
or
butter
:
Or
make
an
Oynion
hollow
,
and
fill
vp

with

and
rost

and
the

of

be

and
straine
them
through
an
hairen
strainer
,
then
put
therto
the
oyle
of
S.
Johns
woort
,
or
of
Camomill
,
and
make
therof
a
plaister
.
The
last
yéere
all
the
Surgeons
in
England
applied
plasters
whiche
they
made
of
Crabbes
before
they
were
ripe
:
othersome
cut
a
Pomegranate
into
smale
pieces
,
and
boyle
it
in
vineger
,
and
powne
it
,
and
spread
it
vpon
a
linen
cloath
,
&
laye
it
too
,
not
to
repell
the
large
recourse
of
the
noisome
humour
,
as
some
doo
write
,
but
to
drawe
rather
:
for
it
is
straunge
to
sée
howe
by
the
laying
too
of
this
,
the
sore
wyll
sodainly
swell
,
&
waxe
byg
,
but
the
playster
must
touch
the
whole
places
about
the
sore
also
,
that
from
thence
it
may
draw
moysture
into
the
swelling
kernell
.

I
thought

to

whereby

and
partly
also
to

that
it
goe
not

The

is
made

and
at

Then
take
