An approved Antidote or Cordiall Medicine , that by Gods favour cureth the Pestilentiall Feaver , or Plague , with other contagious Agues or Feavers , beginning either hot or cold , and that once taking , or at the most at twice , and hath no tast nor smel : and the quantity at one time to be taken is but 8 Graines , And the vertue therof , will not decay in 40 yeares , and it is to be used as followeth .
The manner of taking this Antidote .

IMprimis , Whether the Ague or Feaver beginne hot or cold , let Him or Her that taketh it , take it when they are in bed ; it being halfe an houre or more before the expected fit . But if the Ague or Feaver be continuall ; give it any time , and let him be inclined to Sweate .

Item , It is best to be mixed with a little Mithridate Triacle or some Conserve , or in the pap of an Apple , for that it is a Powder small in quantity , and cannot well be received alone , otherwise it needs no helper , and being taken in , shortly after let the Patient take a reasonable full draught of an ordinary Posset well warme and lying still on the one side , being warme covered Head and all , leaving sufficient place for breathing , sweat gently , not forceably , with some abatement of his covering ( after he beginneth to Sweat ) and the roome kept warme , and if hee can so continue it for 3 or 4 houres ( it were best so ) or as long as hee can well endure , and ever if he thirst give him Possit drinke , and when he hath performed due sweating , let him bee dried , shifted , and cloathes put on , and let him take some light refreshing of Broth , or the like , and if he before or after his Sweating bee much bound in his Belly , he may take an ordinary Suppositary onely to move one stoole and no more .

For Purging is dangerous in the cure of the Plague : and Sweat provoking Medicines are more safe , and the Disease it selfe explaines no lesse . Secund Hippocrat . lib . 21. Aphor . 1. Quò natura vergit ad loca conferentia , eò ducere oportet . For in the Plague Nature forceth out her contagious enemie in Botches , Blaines , &c. by the Pores of the Ski●ne ; so that by the true Rule of Art , the Artist being Natures Minister , is to assist and helpe her in her weakenesse , for the expelling of her enemie , by her preordained way , namely , by Sweating , and not by Purging .

All such as take this Antidote before the Disease have overmuch weakened them , they may safely goe about their affaires , the Day following without feare or danger , being carefully temperate : and if they had any appearance of Botches , Blaines or Carbuncles , they will decline and goe away of themselves , without further helpe .

But neverthelesse hee may take a second like Sweat safely . Also if the Patient have any running Sores , and be much weakened , yet by taking this Antidote he shall so sweat out the venome and infectious Poison , as that his Sores will not onely easily be healed , but the Patient will quickly recover perfect health .

A Child about 8 yeares may take 5 Graines , one about 16 yeeres may well take 6. and one of 20 yeeres or upwards 8 Graines : and a Woman the like , although with child , if shee have the Plague ; and so all sorts of Persons as aforesaid may take the like quantity in contagious Feavers or Agues , hot or cold , although the Agues or Feavers have been of coninuance , for if the first Sweat helpe not , the second ( God willing ) will .

This Antidote provoketh no vomit , stooles , nor any other Accidents , but by a hidden speciall faculty ( no doubt from above ) helpeth Nature ; utterly to vanquish her dreadfull enemy the Plague . From the which God of his Great mercy protect us .
