SAINT PAULS POTION PRESCRIBED BY Doctor Commons Being very sicke of a dangerous FULNESSE WITH The great effects it wrought Printed in the yeare 1641. Doctors Commons Potion prescribed to Pauls Quire Doctors Commons HOW doe you Pauls Quire methinks that your countenance is much changed Why looke you so wan Pauls Quire Truly there is cause since the sweat hath so issued from both our sides to the so great fouling of our Surplices that the sent thereof hath so much offended our curious Laundresses they will not come neer to wash them clean no marvell then though we look wan Doct. But I know you are not well you have some dangerous disease therefore be advised and look to it in time Pauls I pray you will you looke upon my water see there it is tell me your opinion by that Doct. Truly Sir let me tell you your water is very high and dangerous you have a great distemper you are very ill I see Pauls Indeed I have been much troubled of late but I pray what doe you conceive to be the cause of my distemper Doct. You are troubled with a disease called Plenitude the disease lieth much in the head the Archbishops Bishops c. Paul But can you tell me what hath bred and nourished this disease in me Doct It hath been caused by fulnesse of bloud ab●unding al●ne over the other humours as it did wh●n three m●ns bloud surcharged their stomackes dropping from their eares in one day as also by the increase of the four humours altogether in their proportion which in your head were sored to mighty violence Pauls What caused this disorder in the humours so to b●und Doct. The cause ariseth from pride and fulnesse of bread neglect and omitting of exercises of the Ministeriall function and closing with Popery and Popish rites which disease hath increased by those naturall and artificiall vacuations which the said Archbishops Bishops c. have fomented and established Paul What signes doe you see in mee of any such disease Doct. Your face and your eyes be ruddy that is to say your Pictures Altar Cop●s Candles Bowings c. looke not like he eyes or face of a protestant Church for even such practices are this d●y at Rome Paul What other signes doe you see Doct. Your veynes that is to say your Org●n pipes are swolne the smallest veine whereof doth not become a Protestant Church but rather the Iews Synagogues Paul What say you to my Pulse I pray you Doctor feele Doct. Your pulse is great and vehement whilst all the life of your Religion consists in dumb shewes and ceremonies Paul I pray you tell mee what signes you finde in my water of this disease Doct. The disease is easily discerned by your urine which is reddish and thicke an infallible signe proceeding from your well fed body daily full gorged with wi●e both French and Spanish Paul Oh! Master Doctor I am very full of paine of a sudden the veines in my temples doe beat extreamly Doct. That ariseth from the nature of the dis●a●● especially since your head is possest with such a giddinesse Lambeth pillow lyes now very uneasily Paul I am very heavy good Mr. Doctor prescribe some●hing to comfort me Doct. In the first place you must remove away all Popery and Popish innovations from about you that so you may freely and fully receive the Protestant aire for that is very wholesome 2. Remove away all infected idolatrous persons and offices from about you 3. Remove the stinking sent of all scandalous members out of their places 4. Avoyd all such nourishing diet as may strengthen Popery in you 5. Use Ptisan mixt with nothing but what is gathered out of Gods word 6. Use Repentance made up of cooling herbs 7. Avoyd wine and women and drinke onely the clear water of the well of life 8. Lastly exercise the word of God truly and constantly Paul But what will you prescribe for the cure Doct. The cure must be begunne with blood letting as loon● as may be thou must have an experienced Chyrurgian to open the uttermost veine within the Arme called Humeralis on the High-commission and spirituall Court side for there the griefe is most vehement this veine is so annexed to the head the Bishops c. that by it you shall not only pull backe blood into a contrary part but you shall also empty out that by it as s●ith Hippocrates Galen Rhases c. Paul But alast● I am old and weake such bleeding m●y be dangerous to me Doct. Then you must have boxing glasses which the Chyrurgion must use not to your head it selfe only but to the parts adjoyning as the shoulders and brest all upholders and maintainers of Popery and Popish innovations Paul But what physicke will you prescribe me was I not best to take a potion first Doct. Let me see penne and inke and paper and I will prescribe a potion and let it be sent for to the Apothecaries speedily that you may take it this morning before I goe from you A Coppy of the Receipt Take of Gods threats against Idolatry two dragms and pick off as many flowers of the promises of the gospell as you can finde of each an handfull with 12. dragmes of the splinters of the Bishops last Canons and halfe an ounce of their last articles and a●d t● it 3. scruples of the sweat of a furious Proctors grease and an ounce of the Pastors fees Add more 20. drops of the teares of oppressed Clyents 3. scruples of a Lambs tongue with 2. Ducks feathers chopt very small and the fragments of an old Record put all these together into an Organe pipe and seeth them in a sufficient quantity of the water of repentance untill the greatest part be consumed then straine it all through a Bishops lawne sleeves and presse it hard adde to the decoction as much of a Lent Licence as will serve to sweeten it then purifie it with the white of a Ducke egge and make a potion Paul I have taken the potion M● D●ctor but it makes me monstrous sick Doct. Walke upon it it will worke by and by Paul Oh M. Doctor hold my head something comes up what is it Doct.
