a_o brief_a rule_n to_o guide_v the_o common-people_n of_o new-england_a how_o to_o order_v themselves_o and_o they_o in_o the_o small_a pock_n or_o measles_n the_o small_a pox_n who_o nature_n and_o cure_v the_o measles_n follow_v be_v a_o disease_n in_o the_o blood_n endeavour_v to_o recover_v a_o new_a form_n and_o state_n 2._o this_o nature_n attempt_n 1._o by_o separation_n of_o the_o impure_a from_o the_o pure_a thrust_v it_o out_o from_o the_o vein_n to_o the_o flesh_n 2._o by_o drive_v out_o the_o imp●re_n from_o the_o flesh_n to_o the_o skin_n 3._o the_o first_o separation_n be_v do_v in_o the_o first_o four_o day_n by_o a_o feverish_a boil_a ebullition_n of_o the_o blood_n lay_v down_o the_o impurity_n in_o the_o fleshy_a part_n which_o kind_o effect_v the_o feverish_a tumult_n be_v calm_v 4._o the_o second_o separation_n from_o the_o flesh_n to_o the_o skin_n or_o superficies_n be_v do_v through_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o time_n of_o the_o disease_n 5._o there_o be_v several_a error_n in_o order_v these_o sick_a one_o in_o both_o these_o operation_n of_o nature_n which_o prove_v very_o dangerous_a and_o common_o deadly_a either_o by_o overmuch_o hasten_v nature_n beyond_o its_o own_o pace_n or_o in_o hinder_v of_o it_o from_o its_o own_o vigorous_a operation_n 6._o the_o separation_n by_o ebullition_n in_o the_o feverish_a heat_n be_v over_o heighten_v by_o too_o much_o clothes_n too_o hot_a a_o room_n hot_a cordial_n as_o diascordium_n gascon_n powder_n and_o such_o like_a for_o hence_o come_v frenzy_n dangerous_a excessive_a sweat_n or_o the_o flow_n of_o the_o pock_n into_o one_o overspread_v sore_o vulgar_o call_v the_o flox_n 7._o the_o same_o separation_n be_v overmuch_o hinder_v by_o preposterous_a cool_v that_o feverish_a boil_a heat_n by_o blood_n let_v glister_v vomit_n purge_n or_o cool_a medicine_n for_o though_o these_o many_o time_n hasten_v the_o come_n forth_o of_o the_o pox_n yet_o they_o take_v away_o that_o supply_n which_o shall_v keep_v they_o out_o till_o they_o be_v ripe_a wherefore_o they_o sink_v in_o again_o to_o the_o deadly_a danger_n of_o the_o sick_a 8._o if_o a_o frenzy_n happen_v or_o through_o a_o plethorie_n that_o be_v fullness_n of_o blood_n the_o circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v hinder_v and_o thereupon_o the_o whole_a mass_n of_o blood_n choke_v up_o than_o either_o let_v blood_n or_o see_v that_o their_o diet_n or_o medicine_n be_v not_o altogether_o cool_v but_o let_v they_o in_o no_o wise_a be_v heat_n therefore_o let_v he_o lie_v no_o otherwise_o cover_v in_o his_o bed_n then_o he_o be_v wont_v in_o health_n his_o chamber_n not_o make_v hot_a with_o fire_n if_o the_o weather_n be_v temperate_a let_v he_o drink_v small_a beer_n only_o warm_v with_o a_o tost_n let_v he_o sup_v up_o thin_a water-gruel_n or_o water-pottage_n make_v only_o of_o indian_a flour_n and_o water_n instead_o of_o oatmeal_n let_v he_o eat_v boil_v apple_n but_o i_o will_v not_o advise_v at_o this_o time_n any_o medicine_n beside_o by_o this_o mean_v that_o excessive_a ebullition_n or_o boil_v of_o his_o blood_n will_v by_o degree_n abate_v and_o the_o symptom_n cease_v if_o not_o but_o the_o blood_n be_v so_o enrage_v that_o it_o will_v admit_v no_o delay_n then_o either_o let_v blood_n if_o age_n will_v bear_v it_o or_o else_o give_v some_o notable_o cool_a medicine_n or_o refresh_v he_o with_o more_o free_a air._n 9_o but_o if_o the_o boil_a of_o the_o blood_n be_v weak_a and_o dull_a that_o there_o be_v cause_n to_o fear_v it_o be_v not_o able_a to_o work_v a_o separation_n as_o it_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v in_o such_o as_o have_v be_v let_v blood_n or_o be_v fat_a or_o phlegmatic_a or_o bring_v low_a by_o some_o other_o sickness_n or_o labour_n of_o the_o gonorrhoea_n run_v of_o the_o reins_o or_o some_o other_o evacuation_n in_o such_o case_n cordial_n must_v drive_v they_o out_o or_o they_o must_v die_v 10._o in_o time_n of_o drive_v out_o the_o pock_n from_o the_o flesh_n here_o care_n must_v be_v have_v that_o the_o pustules_fw-la keep_v out_o in_o a_o right_a measure_n till_o they_o have_v attain_v their_o end_n without_o go_v in_o again_o for_o that_o be_v deadly_a 11._o in_o this_o time_n take_v heed_n when_o the_o pustules_fw-la appear_v whilst_o not_o yet_o ripe_a lest_o by_o too_o much_o heat_n there_o arise_v a_o new_a ebullition_n or_o feverish_a boil_a for_o this_o trouble_v the_o drive_v out_o or_o bring_v back_o the_o separate_a part_n into_o the_o blood_n or_o the_o fleshy_a part_n overheat_v be_v disable_v from_o a_o right_a suppuration_n or_o last_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o tone_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v so_o pervert_v that_o it_o can_v overcome_v and_o digest_v matter_n drive_v out_o 12._o yet_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o break_v out_o must_v not_o be_v hinder_v by_o expose_v the_o sick_a unto_o the_o cold_a the_o degree_n of_o heat_n must_v be_v such_o as_o be_v natural_a agree_v with_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o fleshy_a part_n that_o which_o exceed_v or_o fall_v short_a be_v dangerous_a therefore_o the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n age_n of_o the_o sick_a and_o their_o manner_n of_o life_n here_o require_v a_o discreet_a and_o different_a consideration_n require_v the_o counsel_n of_o a_o expert_a physician_n 13._o but_o if_o by_o any_o error_n a_o new_a ebullition_n arise_v the_o same_o art_n must_v be_v use_v to_o allay_v it_o as_o be_v before_o express_v 14._o if_o the_o pustle_v go_v in_o and_o a_o flux_n of_o the_o belly_n follow_v for_o else_o there_o be_v no_o such_o danger_n than_o cordial_n be_v to_o be_v use_v yet_o moderate_a and_o not_o too_o often_o for_o fear_v of_o new_a ebullition_n 15._o if_o much_o spit_a ptyalismus_n follow_v you_o may_v hope_v all_o will_v go_v well_o therefore_o by_o no_o mean_n hinder_v it_o only_o with_o warm_a small_a beer_n let_v their_o mouth_n be_v wash_v 16._o when_o the_o pustle_v be_v dry_v

according_a to_o custom_n yet_o so_o as_o to_o be_v defend_v both_o from_o heat_n and_o cold_a in_o excess_n the_o disease_n will_v be_v the_o soon_o over_v and_o less_o troublesome_a for_o be_v
