Here begynneth a litill boke necessarye behouefull aÈenst the Pestilence â—T the reuerence worschip of the blessed Trinyte of the glorious virgyn saynt marye the conseruacion of the comyn wele of alle cristen people aswell for them that ben hole as for remedie of them that ben seke I the Bisshop of Arusiens in the royame of Denmarke doctour of Phisike wille write by the moost experte famous doctours auctorised in Phisike somme thinges of the infirmyte of pestilence whiche dayly enfecteth sone suffreth vs to departe oute of this lyfe First I wil write the tokenes of this iÌ„firmyte The second the causes wherof it cometh The thirde remedies for the same The fourthe comforte for the herte the pncipal membres of the body The .v. when it schal be season to be lett blode First I sayde the tokenes of this infirmite .vij. thinges ought to be noted in the same The first is when in a sommers daye the weder often times chaungeth as iÌ„ the mornyng the wedyr appereth to payne afterward it apê‘ith cloudy atte last wyndy iÌ„ the south The .ij token is whan iÌ„ soÌ„mer the dayes apê‘ith allÌ„ derke like to mynr yet it myneth not if many dayes so ê¯tinue it is to drede of grete pestilence The .iij. tokyn is whan grete multitude of flies ben apon the eerthe thenne it is signe the ayer is venemous and infect The fourth token is whan the sterres semen ofte times to falle then it is token that the ayer ys infect with moche venemous vapours The .v. token is whan a blasing sterre is see iÌ„ the element then it is signe to be sone after grete pestilence or grete maÌ„slaghter iÌ„ bataille The .vi. token is whan ther is grete lightnynge thuÌ„dre namely out of the south The .vij. token is whan grete wyndes passen out of the south they be foule vnclene therfore whan these tokenes apê‘e it is to drede grete pestilence but god of his mercy wille remeue it Here after folowen the causes of pestilence The pestilence cometh of .iij. thinges somtime it cometh fro the rote bynethe Otherwhile fro the rote aboue so that we may fele sensibly how the chaunge of the ayer appereth vnto vs And somtyme it cometh of bothe to gider as well fro the rote aboue as fro the rote bynethe As we see a sege or preuy next to a chambre or of any other particuler thyng whyche corrupteth the ayer in his substaunce and qualite whiche is a thyng may happe euery daye And thereof cometh the ague of pestylence And aboute the same many physicions be deceyued not supposing this axes to be a Pestilence somtime it cometh of dede careyn or corrupcion of standyng waters in diches or slouhes other corrupt places these thiÌ„ges somtime be vniuersallÌ„ somtime ê‘ticuler Fro the rote aboue it fortuneth the causes of the bodyes aboue iÌ„ thayer by whom the spirite of lyfe is corrupte in a man or in a beste In like wyse as Auycenne sayth iÌ„ his fourth boke by the forme of thayer aboue the bodyes benethe lightly be infecte For thynpressyons aboue corrupteth the ayer and so the spirites of a man ben corrupt This infirmyte cometh also from the rote aboue and bynethe whanne of thynpressyons aboue the ayer is corrupt of the putrifaccion or rotyn caceyn of the vyle places benethe an infirmite is caused in a man suche an infirmyte somtime is an axes somtime a postume or a swellyng that is in many thynges Also the ayer iÌ„spyred is venemous corrupt hurtiÌ„g the herte that nature many wayes is greued so that he ê‘ceyueth not his harme For the vryne appereth fayer scheweâ—h gode digestion yet neuthâ—les the pacient is like to dye wherfore many physicions seyng the vryn of their pacientes they speke suê‘ficially be deceyued Therfore it is nede that euy pacieÌ„t ê“uyde to him selfe a gode exê‘te physicion These thinges wryton before are the causes of pestilence But aboute thâ—se thinges .ij. qÌ„stions be meâ—ued The first ys wherfore one dyeth another dyeth not in a towne where meÌ„ be dede iÌ„ one hous iÌ„ another hous ther dyeth none The .ij. qÌ„stion is whether pestilence sores be contagious To the first qÌ„stion I saye it may happe to be of .ii. causes that is to say of that thiÌ„g that doth of that thiÌ„g that suffreth An ensample of that thiÌ„g that doth the influence of the bodies aboue be holdeth that place or that place more than this place or this place the pacient is more disposed to die than another Therfore it is to be noted that bodies be more hote disposed of oopyn poorys than bodies iÌ„fect hauiÌ„g the pores stopped with many humours wher bodies be of resolucion or opening as men that abusen them self with wymmeÌ„ or vsen ofte times bathes or men that be hote with labour or grete angre their bodies be more disposed to this sekenes To the .ij. qÌ„stion I say that pestilence sores be ê¯tagious because of enfect humours bodies the reke or smoke of suche sores is venemous corrupteth the ayer therfore it is to flee fro suche ê‘sons as be iÌ„fect In pestileÌ„ce time no body sholde stande iÌ„ grete prece of peple for som maÌ„ of theÌ„ may be infect Therfore wise phisicieÌ„s visiting seke folke staÌ„de ferre fro the pacieÌ„t holdiÌ„g their face toward the dore or wyndowe so shal the seruants of seke folke staÌ„de Also it is gode to a pacient euy day to change his chaÌ„bre often times to haue the wyndowes open ayeÌ„st the north eest to spere the wyndowes ayeÌ„st the south For the south wiÌ„de hath two causes of putrifaccion The first is it maketh a maÌ„ be iÌ„ hole or seke feble in their bodies The .ij. caÌ„ is as it is writon iÌ„ the .iij. of Amphorismie the south winde greueth the heering hurteth the herte because it openeth the pooris of maÌ„ entreth iÌ„to the herte wherfore it is gode iÌ„ time of pestileÌ„ce to an hole maÌ„ whan the wiÌ„de is in the south to be withiÌ„ the hous al day if it nedeth to go out yet lete a maÌ„ abide iÌ„ his hous til the sonne be vp in the eest passing southward The remedies for the Pestilence Now it is to wete by what remedies a maÌ„ maâ— pserue him self fro pestilence first see the writiÌ„g of Ieremy the ê“phete that a maÌ„ ought to forsake euil thiÌ„ges do gode dedes mekely to coÌ„fesse his sinnes for whi it is the hiest remedie iÌ„ time of pestilence penance ê¯fession to be pferred al other medicines Neutheles I ê“mitte you verely it is a gode remedy to voyde chaunge thinfect place but som may not proffitably change their places therfore asmoche as to theÌ„ is possible it is teschewe euy cause of putrifaction stinking namely euery fleschely lust with wymmeÌ„ shal be eschewed Also the sothern winde whiche is naturelly infectif therfor spere the

windowes ayenst the south as it is sayde before til the first houre after the middes of the day then opene the wyndowes ayeÌ„st the north Of the same cause euy foule stinche is to be eschewed of stabyl stinkyng feldes wayes or stretes namely of stinking dede careyn moste of stynking wat 's where in many placee wat is kepte .ij. dayes or .ij. nightes or ellys ther be gutters of water casten vnder therthe whiche causeth grete stinke corrupcion of this cause som deye in that hous where suche thynges happen in another hous dye none as yt is sayd afore Like wise in that place wher the wurtes coles putrefied it maketh a noyfull sauour stynking For like as by the swete odour of bawme the herte the spirites laue recreacioÌ„ so of euyl sauours they be made feble wherfor kepe your hons that an infect ayer entre not in for an infect ayer most causeth putrifaccioÌ„ in places houses wher folk slipe therfore lette your hous be clene make clere fire of wode flaming Lett your hous be made wich fumigacion of herbes whiche be the leuys of baye tree Ieneper vberiorgany it is iÌ„ tha poticaue stoppes worm vode rewe nugwort of the tree of aloes whiche is best but it is dere suche a fumee taken by the mouthe eeris openeth thynward ê‘tes of the body Also it is teschew all grete replecions because ful bodies be lightly infect as auyceÌ„ne sayth in the fourth canoÌ„ They that chargen their bodies with repleccioÌ„ shorten their lyfe Also comyn bathes are to be eschewed for a litil crust corrupteth al the body Therfore the peple asmoche as is possible is to be eschewd lest of infect brethes som maÌ„ be infect But whan the multitude of peple may not be eschewed then vse the remedies folowing In the morning whan ye use wesshe a litil rewe one or two filberd nottes clene with salte ete theÌ„ if that can not be had then ete brede or a toste sopped iÌ„ vinegre namely in troubeloê° cloudy weder Also in time of pestileÌ„ce it is better tabyde within the hous for it is not holsom to go in the cite or town Also sprenkle your how 's specially in soÌ„mer with vinegre roses with the leuys of vyn tree Also it is gode to wasshe often times in the day your haÌ„des with wat vinegre wipe your face with your handes smelle to theÌ„ Also it is gode alway to sauo aygre thinges In the mount of pessulane I might not eschewe the ê¯pany of peple for I weÌ„t fro hous to hous becaÌ„e of my poute to cureseke folkes therfore brede or a sponge sopped in vinegre I toke with me holding it to my mouth nose because al egre thinges stoppen the wayes of humours suffreth no venemous thinges to ent into a maÌ„nys body so I escaped the pestilence my felows supposing that I shold not liue These thinges I haue ê“ued by my self The ê¯fortes of the herte the pncipal meÌ„bres The ê¯fortes of the herte be these faffron Canifex planteyn with other herbes thy oâ—eÌ„ the inward spirite these be gode emoÌ„g the comyn peple where lightly it happeth that one is infect of another therfore beware the breth of another Also of infect ayer a mans eyen be made dymme yf he bere not these sayd thinges in his hande Also it is holsom to wasshe your mouth face eyen handes often times in the day with rosewat medled with vinegre if ye haue no rosewat take vinegre so these thinges vsed ye may go surely emoÌ„g the peple Also a natural laxe of the bely is a grete remedy ellis ê“uoke a laxe by a suppository craftely Vse pipille pestilenciales for they be gode they be in thappoticary shoppes Also kepe fire al way in your hous for it letteth moche thin pssions of the bodies aboue clarefied thaier Also it is ê“ffitable aswel for hole seke folkes to drinke Triacle therfore take it .ij. times a daye with clere wyn lymphat or with clere rosewater or with clere ale Take a quaÌ„tite of tryacle of a pese .ij. sponeful of clere wyn or rosewater or ale dissolue the triacle in the cuppe drynke hit dyne not til the middes of the daye so that the tryacle may haue his opÌ„eracion then chese a gode disshe with mete drynke clere wyn often times drynke in the daye but not moche to gider for moche habondaunce of drinke putrefieth the humours Also beware hote thinges in mete as pepir garlik though peê‘ purgeth the brayn from flewme specially the meÌ„bres from viscous humours yet it maketh moche hete and hete falleth into putrifaccion bittnes only is more to plese than hote odour or sauo also garlik though it purgeth fleame put out euyl humour ê“uoked an appetite to ete suffreth no drye ayer to entre yet it troubleth the eyen maketh the hede hote therfore it is not gode to ete garlik The pestileÌ„ce groweth of ten times of an hote cause therfore allÌ„ metes the lighter they be of digestion somoche they be the better In the mornyng ete boilled mete at euyn rosted forbere broth potage without they he eygre In the time of pestilence eygre metes be moche better thanne other metes Also forbere al frutes but if they be eygre as cheryes or pomes garnates or a litil of a pere or apple by waye of medicine because al frute enduceth putrifaccion Ete conuenient spyces as gynger cynamum comyn matis saffron These be the best sause that may be made for riche peple For poure take rewe sage filberdnuts ê‘celly with vinegre mynst to gider These be gode letteth putrifaccioÌ„ To be mery iÌ„ the herte is a grete remedie for helth of body Therfore iÌ„n time of pestilence beware ye drede not deth but lyue merely hope to lyue longe For the lettyng of blode Letting of blode ones iÌ„ the moneth may be made but aage or other thiÌ„g forbede it as pilgryms or feble ê‘sons whiche

take away suche poysoÌ„ whiche shold not be if a maÌ„ wold be meuiÌ„g to fro But som wold axe wherfore slepe shal be eschewd I say that iÌ„ pestilence time anon after mete yf a body list to slepe then suche lust shal be forbornÌ„ by a space walking iÌ„ the gardyns or feldes then make a naturell slepe by the space of an houre therfore Auycenne writeth that if a maÌ„ wold slepe he must drinke a gode
