A70159	[Logos alexipharmakos] or, Hyperphysicall directions in time of plague collected out of the sole-authentick dispensatory of the chief physitian both of soule and body, and, disposed more particularly, though not without some alteration and addition, according to the method of those physicall directions printed by command of the Lords of the Counsell at Oxford 1644 and very requisite to be used with them : also, certain aphorismes, premised, and conclusions from them deduced, concerning the plague, necesiary to be knovvn and observed of all, that would either prevent it, or get it cured / by Lionell Gatford ...

Quintessence of Pearle of all ingredieuts that can be thought on viz● sanguis Christi the blood of Christ c Mix all these in the wine of Cheerfulnesse d and the water of true repentance e and take of it dayly more or lesse according as there is cause It never fayled any If for want of taking and making use of these preservatives mentioned thou finde all these or any of these dangerous Symptomes following As first A payne in thy head that it is a trouble to thee to lift up thine eyes to heaven f or to incline thine eares to wholesome instruction g or to bow thy head to God h or to thy superiour i 2 A swimming or dizinesse in thy head that thou knowest not or regardest not what or of whom or to whom thou speakest k and thinkest that other things move out of course when the fault is onely in thine own braines l 3 Overmuch waking when thou shouldest sleepe either to doe mischiefe to others m or to scrape together wealth for thy selfe n or to commit any other iniquity 4 Overmuch drousinesse and sleepinesse either when thou shouldest be praying o or hearing the word of God p or when thou shouldest be about the workes of thy calling q 5 Fainting or swooning whether it be at others tribulations r of under thine owne chastisement and correction ſ whether it be in beleiving t or praying u or any kind of well-doing x 6 Vomiting or pronenesse thereunto especially upon the eating of wholesome food y 7 Wearinesse without cause as with well-doing z or in suffering for Christs sake or thine owne chastisement a 8 Losse of appetite to that which is good b 9 Much thirsting after earthly things c 10 Extraordinary loosenesse either of body or minde d Upon the finding of any of these Symptomes especially divers of them concurring betake thee to thy preservatives prescribed both evacuative and Cordiall as thou lovest thy life And upon the taking thereof if thou sweat well though thou labour under it the more for the present it will very much conduce to thy ease afterwards and to thy preservation e It cost him that tooke thy infirmity and bare thy sicknesse f a terrible sweat g and unlesse the thought of that sweat the sense of thine owne condition and of Gods wrath together with the virtue and strength of thy Physicke doe provoke some sweas in thee I conceive thee to be in a very ill case little better then desperate But in thy sweating observe these rules I Consider that 't is not the violent or long sweating so as to weaken thee or oppresse thy Spirits overmuch that will do thee good but the kinde free sweating according to thy strength h 2 Doe not thinke all the danger over upon once or twice sweating for the subtetly of the disease is such that being once or twice sometimes oftner repelled from the heart and vitall parts it still lurkes in some secret angle of the body and will returne againe i unlesse it be more strongly opposed and therefore be sure to continue thy preservatives after thy sweats k 3 Take heed of sleeping too soone after a sweat for it is very dangerous l 4 Have a care of cooling thy selfe and be content to have it done as the great Physitian thinkes fit m Lastly take of thy Cordiall before prescribed lest otherwise thy strength fayle thee and indanger thee that way n Thus have I shewen thee the best meanes for preservation that I could recall for the present And if any Doctor Batchelor or other Practitioner in Divinity Physick can shew me any errour in any of these prescripts I shall willingly correct it Or if he shall prescribe any that are more accurate I shall amongst others most humbly thanke him for it Now for Curation I observe that that Reverend Physitian whose method I have kept the most close to of any's adds very little for the curing of the Plague to what he had prescribed for the preserving from it except it be for curing the botches sores or Carbuncles And as I apprehend he therefore doth so first because the same physicke especially the Cordiall Physicke that is good for preservation is as good as can be thought on in ordinary cases for cure only where need requires as it doth in the most the quantity of the ingredients must be augmented Secondly because mens tempers and constitutions as I before told you are so different and in a manner contrary and the poyson of the disease infecteth and corrupteth in such different wayes and degrees that 't is not good scarce safe either for Physitian or the parties infected to adventure upon any Physicke without the advise where 't is to be had and time permits of some able Physitian whom they shall please to acquaint with their particular present state and condition The like course upon the like reasons shall I observe in these my Hyperphysicall Directions For generall curative Physicke in generall cases where any are infected as who can say I am cleane o I know no better then what I have acquainted you with by way of preservatives onely the quantity of the ingredients and so of the Doses * is to be increased as there is cause And for particular cases I once againe as before advise every man that desires to deale safely for himselfe and would have his Physitian to deale so too by all meanes to repaire if he have the Liberty to some discreet learned Divine Physitian for his particular counsell concerning his particular state p and after his prayers to God to direct his Physitian aright in his counselling punctually to follow his counsell so farre as his counsell is agreable to Gods revealed will q And for botches and sores when thy infection and corruption is growne to such tumors r take for a great Onyon strong detestation ſ of the filchinesse and loathsomenesse of Sinne t and put into it instead of Rue as much bitter sorrow for Sinne u as thou canst possibly crowd it together with some of that Treacle which is made of those vipers which Christ himselfe slew viz Sinne the Divell Death the Grave and Hell x then heat it well at the fire of the sense of Gods indignation against sinne and sinners y and so apply it by the hand of faith z as hot as thou canst endure it to the tumour I dare warrant thee it will soone draw thy sore to an head and breake it But then thou must be carefull that thou wash that part well wherein the sore a is with some teares of unfeigned repentance b and bath it throughly in that fountaine which is set open for sinne and uncleanesse c and that will both cleanse and
