Right Honorable learnedly I might say Deuinely wrote that men were not borne only for them selues but for their Countrie their parents and friendes The Stoikes in his time held that all thinges that were created had their being for mans vse Men alone were begotten to be mutuall helps each to other The Romanes when their estate most florished accompted him amongst the number of the infortunate that during his life did not manifest in some one publique benefite or other his affection and thankefull heaâ—t to the place wherein he first breathed insomuch as Marcus Otho the Emperour and Marcus Curtius a Romane Knight aswell to free them selues from the mallconceiued opinion of the people as to make knowne to the world that they were their countries deuoted friends and welwillers willingly and voluntarily thrust them selues into ineuitable dangers in which they offred the sacrifice of their liues for the safetie of their Countrie and finished their sorowfull tragedies with the generall applause and admiration of all men If these Heathens hauing none but nature for their guide proceeded so farre in such exceeding loue and zeale towards their Countrie as they preferred the tranquillitie and peace thereof before their priuat commodities liberties and liues how iustly may they condemne vs that challenge the name of Christians since our good actions and endeuors want waight to ballance downe theirs But it is no maruell for in this declining and dotage of the world the most part of men are prone to follow their owne preferments delighting in selfe-loue and greedely snatching at the toppe of fickle fortunes wheele wherein the worlds summum bonum is fixt which with the least touch ouerturnes laying the heedles climer in the dust as they haue greater regard and respect vnto their priuate proffit and aduancement be it neuer so worthlesse wherein they fondly distrust the prouidence of God then to the good of their countrie how necessarily soeuer it require their helpe wherein they shewe their neglect of dâ—tie and stayne them selues with the filth of ingratitude then which nothing in a reasonable creature can be more faultie for creatures vnreasonable naturally abhorre it The consideration whereof hath animated me amongst many thousands the vnworthiest in this dangerous time of sicknesse not vnlikely to proue more dangerous the worst season of the yeare approching wherein God hath alreadie drawne his sword against vs and stricken some fewe and except we cause him by our speedie repentance to sheath it he no doubt hath determined to strike vs at the quicke how fearefully the wrath of God consumes if his indignation be once kindled we all know but who shalbe able to abide it let vs therefore that haue not yet felt his furie become wise by the view of others miseries the burnt child shuns the fire but we farre more foolish then children cast our selues headlong into the flame notwithstanding we see the ashes of our friendes burnt before vs. To publish for the benefit of al peopl that list to read it and put it in practise a treatise contayning a method to preserue vs from the Plague as also how to order gouerne and cure those that are infected therewith Collected out of the authorities of the most excellents both former and later writers and for the greatest part thereof obserued and tried by mine owne experience this being the

Sheweth howe to knowe a carbunkle or blayne as also the cure of the same THe carbunkle or blaine doth first begin with a little Pustule or wheale and some times with diuers Pustules or wheales together with a great burning and pricking paine in the place which Pustules are like a scalding bladder seming to be ful of water or matter yet when you open it little or nothing will come out of it and when they are broken will growe to a hard crust or a scarre as if it had bene burnt with a whote yron or causticke with a great ponderositie or heauines in the place In some it comes in the beginning without any Pustule at all to be perceiued but with a hard blacke crust or a scarre sometimes it lieth hidden in the inwarde partes without any outward appearance at all as if it be in the lungs then there is a difficultie of breathing with a cough and foule spitting If it be in the liuer or spleéne then the partie feéleth a great paine and pricking in the same side if in the kidneyes or bladder it doth chance thē is ther suppression or stopping of the vrine or great paine in y e making of water if it be in the brayne then a delirium followeth but howsoeuer it chance to come the partie infected therewith hath a feauer with other accidents as before in the 13. chapter of the first treatise is declared if it begin with a greéne blacke or blewe colour or of dyuers colours like the raynbowe then is it a deadly signe and so is it if once it appeare and then sodenly vanish away but if it be red or yellowish so it be not in any of the principall partes or eniunctuaries of the body as y e hart stomack armpit flanck Iawes or throte thē is it laudable otherwise in any of these places very desperat and dangerous to be cured but wheresoeuer it doth chance vnlesse it may be brought to suppuration it is deadly The cure of the carbunkle First the vniuersall meanes must not be neglected as bloudletting Cordials Epithemations sweéte and gentle euacuation by purging as the time and cause requireth which before in the beginning of this treatise hath bene shewed at large and the same order which is vsed for the cure of a botch is also to be kept in the cure of a carbunkle also to rectyfie the ayre of the house by straining it with vine and willow leaues red Roses and such like as also to sprinckle the floore with Rose water and Uinegar and cause the sicke often times to smell vnto a cloth wet in rose water and Uinegar is very good these thinges being done then vse all the meanes you can to bring it to Suppuration for which purpose this Cataplasme following is very good A maturatiue Cataplasme Take Fat Figges foure ounces Musterd seede one ounce and halfe Pound the seéde small by it selfe the Figges must first be cut very small and then pounded likewise and then adde thereto so much Oyle of lyllies as will suffice to make it in the forme of a stiffe pultis and applie it warme renuing it twise a day this must be continued vntill the scarre begin to growe loose

Unguentum basillicon and lastly sigilate it with Unguentum de cerusae decocted Some time you shall finde a little pustule to appeare without any elleuation of the parts adioyning or outward hardnes Now here to bring it outwardly you must applie this Cattaplasme Take Lillie rootes Onyons and sowre Leauen of either one ounce Boyle them in water vntill the water be consumed then bruse them in a

proceéde as next before this is shewed you and during the whole time of the cure I holde it better to vse rather Pultises then playsters because they do not so much stop the pores but giue more scope for the venimous matter to breath out When the carbunkle doth come with great paine and inflammation how to helpe it You must first bath and soke the place well with this bagge following and then presently applie the Cattaplasme ensuing for by this meanes you shall not onely ease the paine and abate the inflammation and feauer but also preuent the danger of gangrena which may chance thereby

after it When the pockes after they come out doe not growe to maturation how you shall helpe it Sometimes you shall finde that it will be a long time before those Pustules will come to maturation or

for feare least it burne then take it from the fire and adde thereto the camphire and lastly the terpentine this vnguent is good both to mundifie encarne and sigillate For extreame heate and burning in the soles of the feet and palmes of the hands Petrus Forestus willeth to holde the handes and féete in warme water and that will ease the paine and burning and may boldly be vsed without any danger
