Thus upon this day came the great redoubling vvith rauing and that he being avvake blacknesse drienesse and roughnesse of the tongue vvith ulceration of the throat the singings and startings vvere vvaxed greater the urines more crude and there vvas vvithall a fearfull unquietnes vvhich continued the vvhole night The increasing of the euill and nature beginning to bovv and relent made the letting of blood to be motioned more earnestly then before as being the only remedy to saue his Highnes if the same vvere let in a just quantity yea and by reiterating the same if need vvere as all maner of likelyhoods did shevv in regarde of the constitution of the body the age the strength and other accidents After a very great debate in end the three Doctors Mayerne Hammon and Butler agreed together the eight day after that his Highnes had taken his bed and in their presence vvas dravven from the Median or middle vaine of the right arme some 7. or 8. ounces of blood His H s suffered the same vvith courage desired them to dravv some more vvas nothing vveakened thereby the blood came running like a streame and almost immediatly thereafter he felt some comfort The blood after that it vvas become cold vvas seene by any vvhosoeuer desired to see it all putrified blevv on the upper part and almost vvithout any small stringes not fully thickened His Highnes all the time of his sicknes neuer found himselfe so vvell as that day and had no redoubling in such sort that it seemed by his pulse that the feuer vvould haue left him The singins of the eares and the startings were diminished the night become better though with litle rest the urines and excrements better concocted the drouth somewhat asswaged and his eyes beganne to indure the light better Vpon the ninth the great redoubling came with lesse heate then had done the seauenth day In this fit the breath became shorter the pulse beating more frequently the face redder the tongue blacker and the drouth greater the startings continued and the drousines began breefly all that appeared which was able to make it appeare that the blood and the humours had with aboundance and violence cast themselues upward toward the braine This night his Highnes raued much more then before using som discourses out of purpose he cast himselfe out of the bedde called for his clothes and spake of going away In the morning of this day Doctor Atkins was sent by the King to the Prince who tooke his comming impatiently untill such time as he had been perswaded by the other ordinary Physicians that hee had need to be succoured with all maner of good counsell and that the number of learned men could not chuse but bee very healthfull and fit for recouering of his Highnes his health Doctor Atkins told before the King and the Lordes of the Councell that this disease was a putride feuer whereof the nourishing heat wat under the liuer in the first passages and acknowledged the malignity that accompanied it to proceed of putrefaction which being come to the highest degree taketh the nature of poison Vpon the tenth all the accidents were increased and the startings turning into convulsions the rauing hauing become greater and the drousines more troublesome with the feuer which was euer more violent toward the euening and all the rest of the euils in the morning a motion vvas made to let blood the vvhich being disallovved by the greater part strong cordials vvere used a Glyster by the vvhich much putrified and stinking matter hauing been brought forth his High did cast up the stones of the grapes vvhich he had eaten ten or tvvelfe dayes before All vvas vvithout effect and the night of that day his High beganne the feuer being increased to raue more then euer he did to cast himselfe to and fro to leape out of the bed to sing in his sleepe and pull the sheets together to him The convulsions vvhich vvith the rauing vvere foretold from the fifth day of the disease became more violent the tongue though dry and blacke with the whole throat did not moue his Highnes to call for drinke an euident signe that the mansion place of reason and understanding did suffer extremely In end all the eleuenth day euery thing became vvorse and vvorse saue some litle breathing and the greater part of the Physicians did thinke it expedient to vvaite for the Crises which were farre of and appeared nowayes In the night of the tenth day cupping glasses with scarification were applied to the shoulders and pigeons to the head being shauen The eleuenth a Cock clouen along through the back was applied and the cordials were multiplied in number and in quantity all without any fruit Then the danger appeared to be certaine which had been foretold long ago The which to withstand and helpe so farre as art would permit and the estate of the disease seemed to require upon the twelfth morning the letting of blood was againe debated among the Doctors Mayerne Hammon Atkins and Butler one of them alleadging that the blood had cast it selfe upward violently and by filling of the braine did through its venemous sharpnes and quantity cause the rauing and convulsions yet without paine because the spirit was troubled which accidents did cast his H s into eminent danger more then the drousines the cause whereof was in the ventricles like as the foresaid hott and cholerick blood was in the caules or thinne skinnes and that consequently there was no other present remedie but to open a veine which his strength seemed not to withstand since the pulse was strong enough and his Highnes did rise to go to his stoole remaining at the same without any weaknes which had not happened to him since the beginning of his sicknes The rest of the Physiciās misliked this aduise thought it good to continue to double and triple the cordials and to make revulsion of the humour from the braine with a Glyster which wrought very well but without any other effect saue that his Highnes after voyding came to himselfe and with judgement and understanding gaue eare to the exhortations and prayers of the Lord Arch-bishop of Canturberry shewing excellent signes of piety and contempt of this world and a great contentment to prepare himselfe to goe and possesse eternall rest After this he sleept quietly enough some three houres the convulsions and rauings being diminished Toward the euening besides the foresaid Doctors the Doctors Gifford and Palmer were brought in They went all to a consultation together whereat some of them hauing remarked some pestilēce in this disease although none of all those that had smelled his H● breath a thousand times and watched continually neare unto him had euer found themselues ill and that moreouer throughout his whole disease he had neuer any sicknes at the heart or vomiting or any spott of purples or other tokens on his body the others hauing denied the same flatly and the great necessity of letting
