that she might gayne freedome for that Towne which for their common and future good shee afterwards most zealously performed Now to aduance forwards and thereupon to conclude our worke of Purification to be brought to passe by abstinence and our newfound Dyet it is lookt for that I should first cuâ—e some of those infirmities which are already growne through Repletion and disorders Among which I behold the Lunges which waxe old sooner then the rest of the members as Aristotle affirmed And the reason is because they are subiect to all kind of excrements For they receiue catarrhes coughs and other fiâ—thy matter from the Braine besides excrementicious blood which is ingendred there and turnes to purulent matter which render them foule filthy as our late Aâ—atomists haue found asâ—ve â—as that which comes from the head and what ber is made so impure must needes grow soonest old For which cause those Persons whose breath doth stinke by reason of the impurities of the Lunges shall waxe old sooner then others As on the contrary those whose breath smells well or doth not stinke whilest they are Fasting may liue much longer For the abating or correcting of this viscous clammy and mattry stuffe which is there ingendred or fallen from the Braine nothing anayles more then this our Dyet after that the same hath bene practised and vsed two or three Moneths such impurities will cease of their owne accord But for feare the Diseased party may in the meane time suffocate and perish like the Horse that starued while the Grasse grew let him that is troubled with a violent Cough which is accounted but a Symptome mingle some Manna well sifted and a little Saffron with his Panade Broth or Grâ—ell and that being vsed for fiue or sixe dayes together will by gentle Purges by little and little consume away the cause yea and will supply the place of an Expecterall aswell as any of those Medicaments which they call Becchica or else they may use three or foure drops of the Syrupe of Tobacco in two spoonefuls of Hysop water or in default thereof a peece of Tobacco it selfe rowled and chewed in the Mouth before meate for foure or fiue dayes together will performe the Câ—re or in case of necessity let him drinke but once an Oâ—nce of the Iuyce of the Blew-Flower-de Luce root called Irâ—s newly gathered beaten and strayned with sugâ—ed Water and some Saffron and though the Party were at the very poynt ready to bee choaked with these sâ—â—my and grosse hâ—mours and could not rest but sit vp wheezing and without sleepe yet within two or three houres as it were by Miracle hee shall auoyde by Vomit and Stooles the causes of his deadly distemper Or else let him take twenty or twenty fiue graines of Pantomagogon in Pils with the Powder of Lycoras once euery second day for a weeke and these will gently purge aâ—l the Humours And these Piâ—s I hold to bee singular good to preuent many other diseases and not so loathsome as most Medicines be Next the Braine presents it selfe to my View the indisposition whereof may be discouered by the Heate or Coldnesse If it be ouer hot it causeth distillations into the Lunges Lunacies c. For the Cure whereof some Lettice may bee boyled with our Dyet or the greene leaues of Poppy and in defaulte thereof their seedes or their Syrupes In that case Diacodion which is composed of white Poppy with sugred Water alone or mixt with our Diet is of admirable operation both to coole and to procure sleepe To which as a Cauâ—at I wish such distempered persons to beware how they keepe their Heads too warme with Night-Caps for thereby I haue obserued that many haue vnaduisedly miscarried For the cold distemper of the Braine accompaned with Moysture the smoake of Tobacco with a drop or two of the Oyle of Anny-seed is expedient if the Party be not too narrow breasted or else troubled with the fits of Asthma But oftentimes the Braine may suffer by reason of outward Causes as Frost or Cold windes in the same manner as the Lunges are for both alike are impayred by Cold that they might the sooner become weakned and old and that by reason of respiration For both these Members doe breath and respire the Braine for the perception of smells and the Lunges more aboundantly for the recreation of the heart Therefore both these Members doe secretly through their Pores and passages draw in the Ayre and do receiue their impressions which happen not to any of th' other Members For this discommodity whereto our Northerne Nations are much subiect thet haue lately armed themselues with Hoodes agaynst Raine Snow and Tempests and if before their iournies they annoynt the soles of their feete with that excellent Oyle of Euphorbium or of Pepper and stop their â—ares with Cotton or bumbase dipt in Oyle of Anâ—â—seed or with Cyuet They neede not feare distempers through Cold as long a so as Englands Golden Fleece is able to furnish them with Outward Defences But wee haue cause to doubt a greater inconuâ—nience then a momentary cold which commonly with the weather for sake the hold for if it prooue an extreame Frost or blustring Windes specially after â—ainy Weather which occasion the cuils aforenamed that treacherous guest the Scâ—ruy the store-house of al diseases Farrago omnium morborum which some haue mistaken for a spice of the Catholick Disease may get possession within the Body And this happens both by the Sunnes absence and for that the skinne and all the outward Pores are stopt thickned and congealed with Cold so that there is no place left for the venting of Euaporations and Exhalations out of the Body And therefore they are driuen backe coagulated where those Vapours are forced for want of vent to assault the inward parts and at length they domineere and cause Oppilations and stoppages so that the liuely Spirits cannot performe their Offices Heere hence it fals out that some of these tainted exhalations are carried vpwards to the Eyes Eares Nose and to the Teeth and Gummes and other-whiles to the Breast or else they descend downe to the Legges A spoonefull of the Iuyce of Lemons at a time or the luyce of Scuruy-grafâ—e or the salt of it as I shewed in the former Section mixt with our Panade will remooue this Suruy-baggage And for the putrified Gummes a drop or two of the Oyle of Vitrioll or some Vnguentum Aegyptiacum applyed vnto them will speedily cure them I neede not correct the Stomacke but with the owne simple Dyet yet if at first by reason of the suddaine alteration which I haue notwithstanding here expresly forbidden and on the contrary aduised them to proceede by degrees from twenty ounces to foureteene or twelue and by so many or a little more of drinke to bee diminished within a moneth Then if the Stomacke should become somewhat fainting a cup of Wine and Sugar added to the Dyet or in extremity Cinamon water Anniseed

two dâ—agmes of Opium on diagme and a halfe weâ—l beaten with one ounce of Sugar-candy The which with syrupe of Licâ—ras must be made in a Masse and then diuided into Pils and swallow them They will serue for two or three times A drinke to ripen and ure the Cough Take of the syrupe of Enulacampana and Licoras of each two ounces of Hysop water a quarter of a pint Boyle these in a quart of Ale or Beere with some red sugar candy to a pint and drinke thereof two or three spoonefulls at a time lying on your backe and letting it distill downe your throate by little and little To preuent the Palsie Nothing is better then to eate some Diatrion Pâ—perior or to swallow downe in the morning foure or fiue graines of pepper The Cure of the Winde in the Stomacke and the Collicke Commonly this Infirmity hapneth for want of stirring and exercise or by eating of Fish Fruite or the like windy food in greater aboundance then Nature is able to beare without Belching Rumbling or the like commotion in the Stomacke which sometimes descending lower downe into the Guts before the former meate bee fully digested begets more strength of winde so that betwixt the olde excrements and the new this grieuous payne called the Collâ—cke is ingendred For the Cure whereof if the Wind proceedes from heate by drinking of Sacke or strong Liquor or in the Summer first let him abstayne from those causes and take a Glister made of Sugar Milke and some cooling Hearbes or of Broath where in Raisons Prunes or Currants haue beene sodden or where Diaprunis is dissolued with some Anniseeds And for a Topicke Medicine to fortifie and ease the place affected for the present let the Party apply a dryed Rose-cake somewhat warme and besprinkled with a few drops of Vinegar to the Belly The poorer sort may clap warme trenchers or napkins But if the Collicke be ingendred of the Colde as in Winter or by feeding on moyst and raw sustenance I wish the poore to content themselues with Garlicke boyled or raw And for the Richer sort I prescribe this singular Receit Take Venice Treacle or Mâ—thridate with a few beaten Cloues dissolued and mulled in a cup of Wine Or in default thereof a spoonefull or two of Worme-wood Cinnamon or Anniseede Water or some liquour wherein Pepper hath beene soaked Diatrien Pâ—perion also eaten is exceeding good fasting or at going to bed And for a locall Remedy let him put dryed Cammomill betwixt two linnen cloathes to the Belly Or for want thereof the Oyâ—e or Paracelsus his stipticke playster the place being first annoynted with that kind of Oyle or with that of Roses Against the euill disposition of the Body as the Dropsie the Greene-sicknesse and the like Take of Allom Brimstone and of the fiâ—ings of iron or steele of each a handful Infâ—se them bruised in three quarts of white wine Vinegar three dayes and let the Party adde thereof a spoonefull at a time to euery draught of drinke Likewise a Posset made of Allome will correct this ill disposition of the Body Râ—medies for the straightnesse of the Breast and the rising of the Lights Some do highly commend Quicke Sulphur beaten to powder and well mixed with Sugar Caudy to be taken either alone or with Wine Others at the time of the fit do aduise to giue him Vinegar Scillitick with Ammoniacke dissolued Fracastorius extolies Lungwort eyther of the Oke or Iuniper liâ—ewise the smoake of Sandaraca oâ— Oâ—piment in the manner as I haue shewed in my Booke of Directions for Health But in truth the Foxes Lights soaked for three dayes in Vinegar and afterwards dryed in an Ouen being taken to the quantity of a Nutmeg eyther alone or with some Liquor is the best Remedy aswell for this infirmity as for the Cough proceeding of the difficulty of breathing for it is knowne that of all Creatures the Foxe hath the longest breath and strongest Winde In default of the substance the common Receite called Looch de Pulâ—â—one Vulpis is expedient Remedies for the Gout whether it proceed from Hot or Cold Causes First let him betake himselfe if he can to our Dyet Secondly let him beware of all strong Drinkes and Wine Thirdly let him purge himselfe with the Potion of Hermodâ—câ—â—lâ—s Mâ—choacan c. which I haue before described against the Scuruy Or else let him vse Pilluâ—ae Cochiae which drawes awayes the causes from the Head And these Purgations hee shall vse once a moneth And if there bee cause let him bleede sometimes Fourthly let him exercise Fiftly let him annoynt for a locall Lenitiue the place affected with Oyle of Frogs or of Mirrh eyther alone or with a little Saffron and if the paine bee violenâ— with some Opium But indeede to mollifie and asswage the griefe for the richer sort I aduise them neuer to bee without this precious Cataplasme Take of dried Rose leaues one Ounce of Masticke halfe an Ounce of Saffron one dragme of Campher sixteene graines and of Barly meale two ounces Powre thereon as much white wine as wiâ—l make them boyle which must bee gently aâ—l by leasure and often stirred The tenth SECTION Remedies against the odious and vnhealthfull vice of Drunkenesse The Authors admonitory Conclusion to liue soberly and temperately FOr the shutting vp of these particular Cures I will insert this Corollary which I wish all them that haue a care of their healths daily to reuolue in their mindes being drawne out of Hippocrates his golden Aphorismes That whatsoeuer Nourishment enters into an impure Body will make it the more impure But there is one Sicknesse more which rightly may be stiled the Northerre Catholicke crept among vs within these forty yeares the sinne of Drunkennesse brought hither out of Germany and the Low-Countries which beares such sway that few merite the name of Gallants or sociable Creatures vnâ—esse they can Carouse more Cups then the large Body of a Camell is able to brooke without great alteration in Nature For the suppressing of this odious sicknesse we haue laudable Acts of Parliament but for want of due execution of the Lawes it increaseth to the great displeasure of Almighty God the scandall of our Religion and the grieuous disturbance of their Bodies which wee see drooping away daily before the date of life conditionaly granted vnto vs by our Creator What shall wee do in this desperate case Our Statutes faile to remedy this euill Our Preachers with their thundring Woes misse to reforme it The carefull Cure is neglected for most men now a dayes doe more intend their priuate ends then the publicke good Only this prouident Counseâ—l is left which I submit in most humble manner to the higher Powers that some more Additions bee enacted that in such places as lye remote from the meridian of the Fountayne of Iustice all blind Ale-houses bee suddainly put downe that none be Licensed except they were worth twenty pounds at the least in Goods able to keepe Bedding
