there are some Poysons which if they meet in the body with a contrary venome so fight with it and oppose it that both doe perish in the conflict betwixt them so that the party by their colluctation and strugling together escapes with his life yet all of them agree in uniform opinion together that where they meet with no opposition they ruine the party And therefore conclude that Arsenick worn by a healthy man finding not onely no contrary Poyson to make conflict with but no Poyson at all must necessarily thwart and oppose and make an onset on nature her self And to confirme their opinions I have purposely introduced the judgements of other learned Phisitians concurring with them Garardus Columbus a learned Phisitian reporteth that it hath been observed that the wearers of these Amulets upon unusuall heating their bodies have fallen into sudden Lipothimies and Swounings with other fearfull accidents which continued upon them till the Amulets or Placents were removed from them and that others though not instantly yet after some time have by late and wofull experience discovered their malignity by falling into malignant and pestilent Fevers some of them ending with death Franc. Alphanus a Phisitian of Salerne relateth of one who wearing Arsenick and heating himself with playing earnestly at Tennise fell down suddenly dead Mattheus Hessus also thus writeth As Cordiall Bags or Amulets ought not to be disavowed so empoysoned Amulets can be no way commended nor doe I remember that ever any received good from them who abstained from other Antidotes But this I certainly know that divers persons who carry about them Quick-silver in a Nutshell by the vain perswasions of some Imposters have died of the Plague and the counsellours and advisers of such like Amulets have been the first have betaken themselves to their heeles confiding more in their running than cunning and yet these Quacks perswaded the ignorant people with glorious promises and protestations that whosoever carried Quick-silver or Arsenick about his neck should be as safe as if he had purchased a protection from the King of Heaven Historians also report that Caracalla though he were a wicked Emperour prohibited by publick Edict or Proclamation that no man should wear about him superstitious Amulets And Theophrastus the great not without cause esteemed Pericles to have a crazed brain because he saw him wear an Amulet about his neck And hereunto Doctor Francis Herring an able Phisitian as a Corollary to what hath before been written addeth the experience of some London Phisitians who report they have seen foul holes made in the breasts of those that have worn those Amulets and have observed divers to die who have religiously worn them about their necks as well as others And whereas the venters and setters out of these deceitfull wares make them as a scout to discover the infection when it beginneth to seize on a man by clapping close to the heart to guard that principall part as the cheif Tower It is a meer deceit and collusion for whensoever the body is heated this event followeth necessarily though no other infection be near but the poysonous and venomous Arsenick it self whose salutation is rather Joabs imbracing or Juda's kissing than friendly preservatives Causes of the Plague There are two speciall causes of the Plague First An infected corrupted and putrified air Secondly Evill and corrupt humours ingendered in the Body The air is infected when the tâ—mperatenesse of the air is changed from his naturall state to excessive heat and moisture which is the worst temperament of the air the vapours drawn up by the heat of the Sun being unconsumed rot putrifie and corrupt and so with the venome infect the air Also dead Carkases lying unburied as it often chanceth in Warres evaporations of Pooles Fens Marishes stinking and noysome sents and Kennels and Astronomers say Aspects Conjunctions and Oppositions of ill Planets and Eclipses of the Sun and Moon Also disordering ones self either in diet or exercises bringeth one into the Pestilence therefore in time of contagion outrages and surfets are to be avoided as also all excesse of eating drinking sweating bathing lechery and all other things that open the pores of the body and enter thereby ill aires which invenome the lively spirits Signes of the Plague The signes which declare one infected already are many but the secret token of all to know the infected of the Plague is if there arise botches behind the eares or under the arme-holes or about the share or if Carbunkles suddenly arise in any member for when they appear they betoken strength of nature which being strong laboureth to drive the poyson out of the body but if botches doe not appear it is more dangerous for it sheweth that nature is weak and feeble and not able to expell and thrust forth the venomous humours and then you must have respect to the signes before rehearsed The infection of the Plague entereth into a man after this sort In a man are three principall parts that is the Heart Liver and Brains and each of these hath his cleansing place If they appear in the neck they shew the Brains to be cheifly vexed if under the arme-holes the Heart but if they appear in the share the Liver is most infected For when a man hath taken infection it presently mingleth with the bloud and runs to the heart which is the cheif part of man and the heart putteth the venome to his cleansing place which is the arme-holes and that being stopt putteth it to the next principall part which is the liver and it passeth it to his cleansing place which is the share and they being stopt passe it to the next principall place that is the braines and to their cleansing places which are under the eares or under the throat and they being stopped suffer it not to passe out and then it is moved twelve hours before it rest in any place and if it be not let out within the space of four and twenty hours by bleeding it brings a man into a pestilentiall Ague and causeth a botch in one of those three places or near unto them The Cure of the Plague When thou feelest thy self infected bleed in the first hour or within six hours after drink not and tarry not above twelve hours from bleeding for then when the bloud is flitting too and fro the venome is then moving and not yet setled and after it will be too late those that are fat may be let bloud or else not If the matter be gathered under the arme-holes it comes from the heart by the Cardiacall vein then bleed on the same side by the Basilica vein the innermost vein of the arme If the botch appear behind the eares above the chin or in any other part of the face or neck bleed out of the Cephalica vein on the same side you may bleed with cupping Glasses and Sacrification or Horseleeches If the botch appear in the share bleed in the ankle on
may be and therefore more wholsome but in my judgement flesh is more wholsome because it doth breed a more pure and fine Juyce in the body then any Fish whatsoever your bread ought to be made of pure wheat not too new nor too old but of one dayes baking or two at most is best Rie bread is to be eschewed because of his great moisture your drink is best beer or ale not too strong or new but the staler and clearer it is the better at your meals a draught or two of Claret wine is tolerable but in hot weather it were good to allay it with a little water for wine doth warm the stomack help digestion and comfort the heart For your Pottage you may take in the Summer Parsly Lettice Sorrell Endive Succorie Sperage Hop-buds Burnet Burrage Buglosse Thime Mints Hysop but in Winter Balm Bittanie Thime Marigold Hysop Majoram Mints and Rue are good For your Sallets take Pimpernell Purslane Mints Sorrell Hore-hound Yong cole Hop-buds Sperage Thime Tops of Fennell Tarregon Lettice and Water-cresses are good Capers are greatly commended being preserved in Vinegar and eaten with a little oyle and vinegar and so are Olives very good also For your sauce the juyce of a Limon Citron or Orange is best the juyce of Sorrell and Vinegar is also good All raw fruits are to be refused except those which tend to sour tast as Pomgranates damask Prunes Pippins red and sour Cherries and Wallnuts Quinces and Peares preserved are very good eaten after meals All kind of Pulse is to be refused as Beans Pease and such like because they increase winde and make raw humours and ill juyce in the bodie Refrain from Garlick Onyons Leeks Pepper Mustard and Rocket because they doe over-heat the body make adustion of the bloud and cause fumes to ascend into the head Cheese is not good because it doth ingender grosse and thick humors Milk is also to be refused because it doth quickly corrupt in the stomack CHAP. X. Sheweth what Exercise and Order is to be kept YOu must beware of all vehement and immoderate exercise which doth provoke sweat as is Tennis dancing leaping running foot-ball hurling and such like because they doe over-much heat the body and open the Pores of respiration whereby the infected aire hath the more scope to enter our bodies but moderate exercise is very convenient the use of hot houses at this time I thinke very dangerous because it doth too much open the pores Walk not into the open ayre in the morning before the Sun hath had some power to cleanse and clear the same and in any case goe not abroad when great fogs and mists are upon the earth for it is dangerous but if urgent occasions move you then before you goe forth of your doors be sure to eat some preservative first and then take some good and odoriferous Pomander Nodule or Nosegay in your hand as before is shewed you The extream heat of the day is likewise to be refused to walk in because it chafeth the bloud as also in the evening after the â—un is set for then unsavory and unwholsome Fogs arise out of the earth and in any case if you can avoid it come not neer any any place infected but use to walk in the open aire and dry ground Use Venus combates moderately but none at all were better the best time to use them is three or four hours after supper before you sleep and then rest upon them Beware of anger fear and pensiveness of the minde for by their means the body is made more apt to receive the infection Use pleasant and merry recreations either with musick pleasant company to talke withall or reading some good books Bewar of sleeping at noon but specially in the Winter season but in Summer to take after dinner a nap of half an hour or an hour is tollerable in elderly bodies Watch not long in the evenings but two or three hours after supper is a good time to take your rest CHAP. XI Teacheth what orders Magistrates and Rulers of Cities and Townes should cause to be observed FIrst To command that no stinking dunghills be suffered near the City Secondly Every evening and morning in hot weather to cause cold water to be cast in the streets especially where the infection is and every day to cause the streets to be kept clean and sweet and cleansed from all filthy things which lye in the same Thirdly And whereas the infection is entered there to cause fires to be made in the streets every morning and evening and if some Frankincense Pitch or some other sweet thing be burnt therein it will be much the better Fourthly Suffer not any Doggs Catts or Pigs to run about the streets for they are very dangerous and apt to carry the infection from place to place Fifthly Command that the excrements and filthy things which are voided from the infected places be not cast into the streets or rivers which are daily in use to make drink or dresse meat Sixtly That no Chirurgians or Barbars which use to let bloud do cast the same into the streets or rivers Seventhly That no Vauts or Privies be then emptied for it is a most dangerous thing Eighthly That all Inholders do every day make clean their stables and cause the dung and filth therein to be carried away out of the City for by suffering it in their houses as some do use to do a whole week or a fortnight it doth so putrifie that when it is removed there is such a stinking and unwholsome smell as is able to infect the whole street where it is Ninthly To command that no Hemp or Flax be kept in water near the City or Town for that will cause a very dangerous and infectious savour Tenthly to have a speciall care that good and wholsome Victuals and Corn be sold in the markets and so to provide that no want thereof be in the City and for such as have not wherewithall to buy necessary food that there to extend their charitable and godly devotion for there is nothing that will more increase the Plague then want and scarsity of necessary food Eleventhly To command that all those which do visite and attend the sick as also all those which have the sicknesse on them and do walk abroad that they do carry something in their hands thereby to be known from other people And here I must advertise you of one thing more which I had almost forgotten which is that when the infection is but in few places there to keep the people in their houses not suffering any one of them to go abroad and so to provide that all such necessaries as they shall need may be brought unto them during the time of their visitation and when it is staied then to cause all the clothes bedding and other such things as were used about the sick to be all burnt although at the charge of the rest of the Inhabitants you buy them

Bay salt â„¥ i. ss Yolks of two or three Eggs. Mix all these together in a morter and apply it to the grief warm which must be alwaies renewed and changed before it grow dry and stiffe this order must be continued untill the sore come to suppuration then to remove the scar and finish the cure doe you follow the order prescribed in the beginning of this Chapter There are other dangerous accidents which dâ—e sometimes chance in the botch or Carbuncle which here to treat of would little avail the unexpert people because they know not the means how to execute the same but if any such thing chance then doe I wish you to seek the help of some learned Physitian or expert Chirurgion whose counsell I doe wish you to follow The End of the Second Treatise A Short Treatise of the Small Pox shewing the Means how for to govern and cure those which are infected therewith CHAP. I. Sheweth what the Small Pox and Measels are and whereof it proceedeth FOr that oftentimes those that are infected with the Plague are in the end of the disease sometime troubled with the small Pox or Measels as also by good observation it hath been seen that they are fore-runners or warnings of the plague to come as Salius and divers other writers doe testifie I have thought it good and as a matter pertinent to my former Treatise to shew the aids and helps which are required for the same I need not greatly to stand upon the description of this disease because it is a thing well known unto most people proceeding of adusted bloud mixt with flegm as Avicen witnesseth which according to both ancient and latter Writers doth alwaies begin with a Fever then shortly after there ariseth small Pustulaes upon the skin throughout all the body which doe not suddenly come forth but by intermission in some more or lesse according to the state and qualitie of the bodie infected therewith for in some there ariseth many little Pustulaes with elevation of the skin which in one day doe increase and grow bigger and after have a thick matter growing in them which the Greeks call Exanthemata or Exthymata and after the Latines Variola in our English tongue the small Pox and here some Writers doe make a difference betwixt variola and exanthemata for say they that is called variola when many of those Pustules doe suddenly run into a clear bladder as if it had been scalled but the other doth not so yet they are both one in the cure they doe most commonly appear the fourth day or before the eight day as Avicen witnesseth What the Measels or Males are Avicen saith That the Measels or Males is that which first cometh with a great swelling in the flesh with many little Pimples which are not to be seen but onely by feeling with the hand are to be perceived they have little elevation of the skin neither doe they grow to maturation or end with ulceration as the Pox doth neither doe they assault the eyes or leave any deformity behind them as the Pox doth neither are they so swift in coming forth but doe grow more slowly they require the same cure which the Pox have they proceed of cholerick and melancholie bloud The cause of the Pox and Measels The primitive cause as Valetius saith is by alteration of the aire in drawing some putrified and corrupt quality unto it which doth cause an ebullition of our bloud The cause antecedent is repletion of meats which do easily corrupt in the stomack as when we eat milk and fish together at one time or by neglecting to draw bloud in such as have accustomed to doe it every year whereby the bloud doth abound The conjunct cause is the menstruall bloud which from the beginning in our mothers wombs wee received the which mixing it self with the rest of our bloud doth cause an Ebullition of the whole The efficient cause is nature or naturall heat which by that menstruall matter mixing it self with the rest of our bloud doth cause a continuall vexing and disquieting thereof whereby an unnaturall heat is increased in all the body causing an Ebullition of bloud by the which this filthy menstrual matter is seperated from our natural bloud and the nature being offended and overwhelmed therewith doth thrust it to the outward pores of the skin as the excrements of bloud which matter if it be hot and slimie then it produceth the Pox but if dry and subtil then the Measels or Males But Mercurialis an excellent writer in Physick in his first Book de morbis puerorum cap. 2. agreeing with Fernelius in his Book De abditis rerum causis c. 12. doth hold opinion that the immediate cause of this disease doth not proceed of menstrual bloud but of some secret and unknown corruption or defiled quality of the aire causing an Ebullition of bloud which is also verified by Valetius and now doth reckon it to be one of the hereditable diseases because few or none doe escape it but that either in their youth ripe age or old age they are infected therewith The contention hereabout is great and mighty reasons are oppugned on both sides therefore I will leave the judgement thereof unto the better learned to define but mine opinion is That now it proceedeth of the Excrements of all the four humours in our bodies
which striving with the purest doth cause a supernatural heat and ebullition of our bloud alwaies beginning with a Fever in the most part and may well be reckoned in the number of those diseases which are called Epidemia as Fracastorius in his first Book De morbis contag cap. 13. witnesseth this disease is very contagious and infectious as experience teacheth us There are two speciall causes why this disease is infectious The first is be cause it proceedeth by ebullition of bloud whose vapour being entred into another bodie doth soon defile and infect the same the second reason is because it is a disease hereditable for we see when one is infected therewith that so many as come neer him especially those which are allyed in the same bloud doe assuredly for the most part receive the infection also CHAP. II. Sheweth to know the signs when one is infected as also the good and ill signs in the disease THe signs when one is infected are these first he is taken with a hot Fever and sometime with a Delirium great pain in the back furring and stopping of the nose beating of the heart hoarsnesse redness of the eyes and full of tears with heavinesse and pain in the head great beating in the forehead and temples heaviness and pricking in all the body dryness in the mouth the face very red pain in the throat and breast difficulty in breathing and shaking of the hands and feet with spitting thick matter When they doe soon or in short time appear and that in their coming out they doe look red and that after they are come forth they doe look white and speedily grow to maturation that he draweth his breath easily and doth find himself eased of his pain and that his Fever doth leave him these are good and laudable signes of recovery When the Pox lye hidden within and not appearing outwardly or if after they are come forth they doe suddenly strike in again and vanish away or that they doe look of a black blewish and green colour with a difficultie and straitnesse of drawing breath and that he doe often swoun if the sick have a flix or lask when the Pox were found double that is one growing within another or when they run together in blisters like scalding bladders and then on the sudden do sink down and grow dry with a hard black scar or crust as if it had been burnt with a hot iron all these are ill signs Avicen saith there are two speciall causes which produce death unto those that have this disease either for that they are choaked with great Inflammation and swelling in the throat called Angina or having a flix or lask which doth so weaken and overthrow the vitall spirits that thereby the disease is increased and so death followeth How to know of what humours this disease cometh If it come of bloud then they appear red with generall pain and great heat in all the body If they come of choler then will they appear of a yellowish red and clear colour with a pricking pain in all the bodie If they come of flegm then will they appear of a whitish colour and scaly or with scales If they come of melancholie then will they appear blackish with a pricking pain CHAP. III. Sheweth the meanes to cure the Pox or Measels THere are two speciall meanes required for curing this disease the first is to help nature to expell the same from the interior and principall parts unto the exterior the second is to preserve both the interior and exterior parts that they may not be hurt thereby For the first intention if the age and strength of the sick will permit and that the Pox or Measels appear not it were then good in the first second or third day to draw bloud out of the Basilica veine in the right arme if he be not under the age of fourteen years but the quantity must be at the discretion of him that draweth it either more or lesse as occasion is offered but for children and such as are of tender years and weak bodies it were not good to draw bloud out of the arme but out of the inferior parts as the thighes hams buttocks and the Emeroidall veines especially if the party be melancholie or else to apply ventoses to the loynes buttocks or hams which may boldly be used both before and after they do appear either with scarification or without as cause requireth which is a speciall good meanes to draw that Ichorous matter from the interior to the exterior parts but for sucking Children it were best to apply bloud-suckers unto any of the foresaid places which is a thing that may be used with more ease then ventoses neither do I wish either of them to be used unlesse necessity require it which is when the matter lieth lurking in the interior parts not offering it self to appear outwardly otherwise I hold it better to leave the whole work unto nature specially in sucking children for when we see that nature is ready or doth endeavour to expell the malignity which is in the interior parts to the exterior which may be perceived by reviving of the Spirits and mitigating of the Fever here we ought not to use any meanes at all but leave the whole operation to nature which we must onely help by keeping the sick body in a reasonable heat being wrapt in a scarlet stammell or red cloth which may not touch the skin but to have a soft linnen cloth betwixt them both and then cover him with clothes in reasonable sort and keep him from the open ayre and the light except a little and also from anger using all the meanes you can to keep the sick in quietnesse and if the body be very costive then to give an easie Glister A Glister â„ž Barley two handfuls Violet leaves one handfull Boyle these in three pints of water untill half be consumed and strein it then take of the same decoction twelve ounces Oyle of Violets three ounces red Sugar and Butter of either one ounce Mix them together and give it to the sick warm you may encrease or diminish the decoction or ingredients according as the age of the party requireth but if the sick have great heat then may you add one ounce or four drachms of Câ—ssia newly drawn unto it and when he hath expelled the Glister then rub the armes hands legs and feet softly with a warm cloth which is also a very good meanes to draw that chorous matter from the interior to the exterior parts when all this is done then if the body be inclined to sweat you must further the same by covering him with warm clothes having a care that you lay not more on him then he can well endure for otherwise you may cause faintnesse and swouning which are ill in this case yet must you alwaies keep the sick warm and suffer him not to sleep or permit very little untill the Pox or Measels do appear and here
