then_o short_o after_o the_o pox_n will_v begin_v to_o show_v themselves_o but_o they_o will_v not_o be_v many_o although_o every_o one_o of_o they_o will_v be_v far_o great_a than_o the_o small_a

white_a head_n do_v burn_v and_o rage_n extreme_o you_o may_v prick_v their_o head_n with_o a_o needle_n and_o let_v out_o the_o corruption_n there_o be_v nothing_o else_o to_o be_v do_v with_o those_o upon_o who_o they_o be_v come_v out_o and_o the_o fever_n abate_v but_o that_o they_o keep_v themselves_o warm_a sit_v still_o and_o be_v quiet_a but_o if_o that_o the_o sick_a have_v not_o go_v to_o stool_n in_o a_o long_a time_n before_o you_o give_v he_o this_o cordial_n to_o sweat_v you_o shall_v cause_v he_o to_o go_v to_o stool_n by_o a_o clyster_n or_o else_o which_o be_v better_o

to_o play_v upon_o the_o disease_n and_o will_v the_o soon_o and_o better_o drive_v out_o the_o pox_n if_o the_o quintessentia_fw-la vitae_fw-la be_v give_v in_o the_o water_n of_o rose_n borage_n

nor_o any_o thing_n that_o do_v provoke_v sweat_n for_o now_o hot_a cordial_a medicine_n will_v increase_v the_o fever_n and_o in_o the_o beginning_n they_o will_v have_v quench_v the_o fever_n and_o turn_v all_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n into_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o small_a pox_n so_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o miserable_a death_n likely_a to_o follow_v oftentimes_o

what_o you_o do_v and_o give_v to_o the_o sick_a every_o hour_n nothing_o else_o but_o two_o or_o three_o spoonful_n of_o rose_n water_n sweeten_v with_o a_o little_a sugar_n this_o will_v cool_v
