for_o a_o blessing_n i_o hope_v you_o may_v have_v good_a success_n in_o cure_v yourselves_o direction_n for_o the_o order_n your_o body_n when_o you_o have_v the_o gout_n on_o you_o or_o suchlike_a painful_a disease_n whereby_o you_o be_v under_o confinement_n observe_v these_o caution_n 1._o caution_n bleed_v be_v certain_o hurtful_a though_o at_o the_o present_a it_o may_v seem_v to_o give_v a_o little_a ease_n yet_o afterward_o you_o will_v find_v the_o ill_a effect_n by_o the_o pain_n return_v and_o the_o next_o fit_n will_v be_v much_o worse_o but_o many_o have_v not_o the_o least_o ease_n by_o bleed_v but_o be_v much_o more_o painful_a and_o by_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o body_n the_o disease_n fix_v itself_o in_o several_a part_n by_o draw_v away_o the_o blood_n for_o at_o that_o time_n the_o blood_n be_v waterish_a and_o thin_a than_o the_o best_a come_v away_o but_o the_o ill_a humour_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o pain_n lodge_v in_o the_o body_n be_v too_o thick_a to_o be_v draw_v away_o through_o the_o vein_n but_o the_o best_a way_n to_o bring_v this_o humour_n away_o be_v by_o that_o medicine_n which_o open_v the_o pore_n where_o the_o humour_n lodge_v than_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n of_o repel_v but_o rather_o hope_n that_o in_o time_n the_o cause_n may_v be_v remove_v out_o of_o the_o body_n 2._o caution_n take_v heed_n of_o keep_v the_o body_n with_o low_a diet_n to_o think_v thereby_o to_o starve_v the_o gout_n for_o you_o may_v soon_o starve_v yourselves_o than_o cure_n yourselves_o of_o the_o gout_n by_o so_o do_v you_o need_v not_o bar_v yourselves_o from_o good_a diet_n for_o you_o will_v find_v your_o stomach_n will_v fail_v you_o too_o quick_a of_o itself_o it_o be_v more_o dangerous_a than_o you_o be_v aware_a to_o bring_v down_o your_o stomach_n to_o low_a and_o weak_a diet_n for_o this_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o ease_n the_o pain_n but_o by_o the_o bring_v your_o body_n weak_a your_o pain_n be_v great_a and_o the_o body_n more_o helpless_a and_o in_o so_o do_v be_v in_o danger_n by_o your_o weakness_n and_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o disease_n of_o fall_v into_o a_o fever_n and_o by_o the_o emptiness_n of_o the_o body_n you_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o bring_v the_o gout_n in_o your_o inward_a part_n 3._o caution_n take_v heed_n that_o you_o do_v not_o indulge_v yourself_o too_o much_o by_o confine_v yourself_o from_o exercise_n before_o your_o disease_n force_v you_o to_o it_o especial_o under_o the_o use_n of_o the_o mean_n you_o have_v better_o strive_v than_o give_v way_n to_o it_o so_o soon_o as_o it_o begin_v to_o come_v on_o you_o but_o by_o your_o speedy_a apply_v the_o mean_n and_o by_o exercise_v yourself_o you_o may_v prevent_v your_o be_v confine_v at_o all_o especial_o after_o you_o have_v be_v once_o recover_v by_o the_o mean_v herein_o direct_v 4._o caution_n take_v heed_n of_o overmuch_o purge_v for_o if_o you_o think_v thereby_o to_o cure_v the_o gout_n you_o will_v be_v great_o deceive_v for_o by_o this_o mean_v you_o will_v rather_o endanger_v a_o consumption_n or_o at_o least_o a_o long_a confinement_n by_o reason_n of_o great_a weakness_n of_o body_n my_o way_n be_v to_o order_v a_o gouty_a person_n as_o i_o do_v consumptive_a person_n i_o cure_v they_o without_o physic_n by_o keep_v up_o nature_n a_o man_n may_v strive_v with_o a_o disease_n till_o the_o cause_n be_v remove_v but_o by_o use_v such_o mean_n as_o weaken_v the_o body_n in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v the_o contrary_a way_n for_o a_o cure_n 5._o caution_n take_v heed_n of_o be_v too_o busy_a with_o sleepy_a potion_n some_o have_v be_v so_o stupefy_v with_o such_o potion_n that_o when_o the_o gout_n have_v be_v very_o dangerous_a they_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o their_o condition_n nor_o to_o tell_v where_o their_o pain_n lay_v so_o the_o disease_n be_v draw_v into_o the_o head_n and_o the_o man_n go_v sleep_v to_o his_o grave_n it_o be_v better_a to_o hear_v the_o man_n cry_v aloud_o for_o then_o some_o help_n may_v come_v and_o though_o his_o pain_n may_v be_v great_a and_o continue_v long_o so_o that_o he_o want_v rest_n and_o may_v endanger_v a_o fever_n yet_o in_o all_o this_o there_o be_v more_o hope_n of_o recovery_n than_o when_o the_o man_n be_v stupefy_v and_o thereby_o make_v unsensible_a of_o his_o condition_n but_o since_o there_o be_v ease_n to_o be_v have_v by_o outward_a thing_n these_o dangerous_a mean_n may_v be_v avoid_v and_o the_o life_n of_o many_o may_v be_v preserve_v direction_n for_o diet._n first_o i_o shall_v tell_v you_o what_o be_v hurtful_a for_o the_o body_n of_o such_o as_o be_v afflict_v with_o the_o gout_n salt_n meat_n be_v not_o good_a nor_o stale_a beer_n nor_o no_o sharp_a or_o sour_a thing_n nor_o mix_a wine_n nor_o claret_n nor_o too_o much_o spoon-meat_n but_o be_v sure_a to_o forbear_v cider_n these_o and_o
have_v observe_v that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o external_n part_n without_o the_o scull_n and_o so_o it_o will_v flow_v under_o the_o skin_n all_o over_o the_o head_n at_o time_n but_o usual_o it_o do_v fix_v on_o the_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o head_n where_o it_o do_v sometime_o continue_v for_o a_o long_a time_n very_o painful_a but_o when_o the_o gout_n flow_v from_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n into_o the_o head_n it_o be_v in_o the_o internal_a part_n of_o the_o head_n within_o the_o skull_n this_o be_v not_o painful_a but_o cause_v a_o lightness_n and_o do_v often_o deprive_v a_o man_n of_o his_o sense_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v so_o dangerous_a that_o few_o escape_n death_n it_o must_v be_v extaordinary_a mean_n that_o recover_v this_o there_o be_v help_n to_o be_v have_v in_o this_o case_n but_o if_o man_n through_o unbelief_n be_v regardless_o of_o their_o life_n they_o may_v for_o want_n of_o mean_n at_o hand_n in_o such_o a_o time_n be_v cast_v away_o i_o can_v but_o pity_v such_o as_o i_o hear_v do_v die_v of_o the_o gout_n for_o i_o know_v so_o much_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o disease_n that_o when_o the_o gout_n thus_o come_v from_o other_o part_n into_o the_o head_n they_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o their_o danger_n because_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v at_o ease_n and_o will_v have_v a_o conceit_n of_o their_o do_v well_o when_o they_o be_v

but_o what_o i_o have_v recover_v myself_o let_v such_o know_v that_o have_v the_o gout_n that_o be_v in_o fear_n or_o danger_n of_o their_o life_n by_o it_o that_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o

there_o be_v no_o such_o danger_n of_o life_n as_o when_o it_o be_v thus_o get_v into_o the_o head_n so_o let_v this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a caution_n for_o you_o to_o take_v help_n in_o time_n the_o next_o thing_n to_o inquire_v further_o be_v to_o know_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o gout_n q._n 3._o what_o cause_v the_o pain_n of_o the_o gout_n as_o there_o be_v differ_v pain_n so_o there_o be_v differ_v cause_n i_o shall_v give_v a_o account_n first_o of_o the_o immediate_a cause_n 1._o in_o some_o the_o immediate_a cause_n be_v wind_n be_v fix_v in_o the_o part_n and_o not_o have_v vent_n this_o do_v sometime_o cause_v a_o inflammation_n or_o a_o swell_a that_o will_v be_v very_o sore_a and_o tender_a for_o a_o long_a time_n 2._o in_o some_o the_o immediate_a cause_n be_v a_o thin_a and_o cold_a whitish_a water_n fix_v in_o the_o joint_n that_o loosen_v the_o ligament_n and_o other_o part_n bind_v the_o joint_n together_o that_o cause_v a_o pain_n and_o great_a weakness_n in_o the_o part_n afflict_v 3._o in_o some_o the_o immediate_a cause_n be_v a_o slimy_a matter_n that_o be_v without_o the_o joint_n this_o humour_n be_v cold_a and_o thickish_a cause_v a_o hard_a swell_a that_o pit_v like_o a_o dropsy_n and_o the_o part_n be_v cold_a and_o stiff_a but_o the_o pain_n be_v more_o moderate_a than_o the_o humour_n that_o be_v thin_a but_o this_o sort_n of_o dropsy-like_a gout_n usual_o continue_v long_o and_o cause_v a_o great_a weakness_n except_o timely_o prevent_v 4._o in_o some_o the_o immediate_a cause_n be_v a_o hot_a vapour_n or_o steam_n drive_v into_o the_o part_n by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o when_o the_o pore_n be_v open_v where_o the_o pain_n be_v this_o vapour_n do_v come_v out_o like_o the_o smoke_n of_o a_o

though_o helpless_a just_a before_o 5._o in_o some_o the_o immediate_a cause_n of_o the_o pain_n be_v a_o windy_a and_o frothy_a blood_n that_o stop_v in_o its_o circulation_n this_o swell_v in_o

sweat_a pill_n be_v proper_a to_o carry_v off_o the_o cause_n 7._o in_o some_o the_o immediate_a cause_n be_v a_o thick_a and_o matter-like_a humour_n that_o be_v fix_v long_o in_o a_o place_n grow_v to_o a_o hard_a kind_n of_o a_o kernel_n that_o when_o it_o be_v dry_v it_o crack_v the_o skin_n and_o crumble_v out_o like_o little_a stone_n but_o the_o pain_n be_v most_o before_o it_o come_v to_o

when_o the_o pore_n be_v open_a 8._o in_o some_o the_o immediate_a cause_n be_v for_o want_v of_o the_o blood_n circulate_v into_o all_o part_n and_o if_o the_o stoppage_n be_v about_o the_o joint_n
