be obserued and first of the choyce of Meats THE order of Dyet in a Pestilent disease ought to be cooling and drying not slender but some-what full Because by this kind of Disease there commeth wasting of the Spirits and exolution of the Faculties which inferreth often swounding therefore that losse must be repaired as soone as may be with more quantitie of Meats that are of easie concoction and digestion Therefore I neuer saw any being infected with the Pestilence that kept a slender dyet that recouered his health but dyed and few that had a good stomacke and fed well dyed Sweet grosse moyst and clammy Meats which are altogether and exquisitely of subtile parts are to be auoyded for the sweet doe easily take Fier and are soone inflamed the moyst will putrefie the grosse and clammy obstruct and therefore ingender putrefaction those meats that are of subtile parts ouer-much attenuate the humors and inflame them and doe stirre vp hot and sharpe vapors into the Brayne whereof commeth the Feauer Therefore we must eschew Garlike Onions Mustard Salted and spiced Meats and all kinds of Puls must also be auoyded because they ingender grosse winds which are the authors of obstruction but the decoction of them is not alwayes to be refused because it is a prouoker of Vrine Therefore let this be their order of Dyet Let their Bread be of Wheat or Barly well wrought well leauened and salted neither too new nor too stale Let them be fed with such Meat as may be easily concocted and digested and may engender much laudable iuyce and verie little excrementall as are the Flesh of Weather Lambes Calues Kidds Leuerets Pullets Partriches Pigeons Thrushes Larkes Quailes Blacke Birds Turtle Doues Moore Hennes Phesants and such like auoyding Water Foules Let the Flesh be moystned in Veriuyce of vn-ripe Grapes Vineger or the iuyce of Lemmons Oranges Cytrons tart Pomegranats Barberyes Gooseberryes or red Currance or of Garden and wild Sorrell for all these sowre things are verie wholesome in this kind of Disease for they doe stirre vp the appetite resist the venomous qualitie and putrefaction of the humours restraine the heat of the Feauer and prohibite the corruption of the meats in the stomacke Although that those that haue a more weake stomacke and are endewed with a more exact sence are subiect to the Cough and Diseases of the Lungs must not vse these vnlesse they be mixed with Sugar and Cynnamon If the Patient at any time be fed with sodden Meats let the Broathes be made with Lettuce Purslaine Succorie Borage Sorrell Hoppes Buglosse Cresses Burnet Marigolds Cheruill the cooling Seeds Barley and Oates cleansed with a little Saffron for Saffron doth engender many Spirits and resisteth Poyson To these opening Roots may be added for to auoyd obstruction yet much Broath must be refused by reason of moysture The Fruit of Capers being eaten in the beginning of the Meale prouoke the appetite and prohibite obstructions but they ought not to be seasoned with ouer-much Oyle Salt they may also with good successe be put in Broathes Fishes are altogether to be auoyded because they doe soone corrupt in the Stomacke but if the Patient be delighted with them those that liue in stony places must be chosen that is to say those that doe liue in pure and sandy Water and about Rocks and Stones as are Trowts Pikes Pearches Gudgions and Crauises boiled in Milke Wilks and such like And concerning Sea-Fish he may be fed with Giltheads Gurnarts with all the kinds of Cod-fish Whitings not seasoned with Salt and Turbuts Fagges potched and eaten with the iuyce of Sorrell are very good Likewise Barley Water seasoned with the Graynes of a tart Pomegranate and if the Feauer be vehement with the Seeds of white Poppey Such Barley Water is easie to be concocted and digested it cleanses greatly and moystens and mollifies the Belly But in some it procures an appetite to vomit and paine of the Head and those must abstaine from it But in stead of Barley Water they may vse Pappe and Bread crummed in the decoction of a Capon For the second course let him haue Raysons of the Sun newly sodden in Rose Water with Sugar soure Damaske Prunes tart Cherryes Pippins and Katherine Peares And in the latter end of the Meale Quinces rosted in Embers Marmelate of Quinces Conserues of Buglosse or of Roses and such like may be taken Or else this Powder following Take of Coriander Seeds prepared two Drammes of Pearle Rose Leaues shauings of Harts-Horne and Iuory of each halfe a Dramme of Amber two Scruples of Cynnamon one Scruple of Vnicornes Horne and the Bone in a Stagges Heart of each halfe a Scruple of Sugar of Roses foure Ounces Make thereof a Powder and vse it after Meats If the Patient be some-what weake he must be fed with Gelly made of the Flesh of a Capon and Veale sodden together in the Water of Sorrell Carduus Benedictus with a little quantitie of Rose Vineger Cynnamon Sugar and other such like as the present necessitie shall seeme to require In the night season for all euents and mischances the Patient must haue ready prepared Broath of Meats of good digestion with a little of the iuyce of Citrons or Pomegranates This Restauratiue that followeth may serue for all Take of the Conserue of Buglosse Borage Violets Water Lillyes and Succory of each two Ounces of the Powder of the Electuarie Diamargaritum Frigidum of the Trochisces of Camphire of each three drams of Citron seedes Carduus seedes Sorrell seedes the rootes of Diptamnus Tormentill of each two drams of the broth of a young Capon made with Lettuce Purselaine Buglosse and Borraged boile in it sixe pintes put them in a Lembecke of glasse with the flesh of two Pullets of so manie Partridges and with fifteene leaues of pure gold make thereof a distillation ouer a soft fier Then take of the distilled liquor halfe a pinte straine it through a woollen bagge with two ounces of white Sugar and halfe a dram of Cinamon let the patient vse this when he is thirstie Or else put the flesh of one old Capon and of a legge of Veale two minced Partridges and two drams of whole Cinamon without anie liquor in a lembecke of glasse well luted and couered and so let them boile in Balueo Mariae vnto the perfect concoction For so the fleshes will be boiled in their owne iuice without any hurt of the fier then let the iuice bee pressed out therehence with a presse giue the patient for euery dose one ounce of the iuice with some cordiall waters some Trisantalum and Diamargaritum frigidum The preserues of sweete fruits are to bee auoided because that sweete things turne into cholor but the confections of tart Prunes Cherries and such like may be fitly vsed But because there is no kinde of sickenesse that so weakens the strength as the Plague it is alwaies necessarie but yet sparingly and often to feede the patient still hauing

respect vnto his custome age the region and the time for through emptinesse there is great danger lest that the venomous matter that is driuen out to the superficiall parts of the bodie should be called backe vnto the inward parts by an hungrie stomacke and the stomacke it selfe should bee filled with choloricke hot thinne and sharpe excrementall humors whereof commeth biting of the stomacke and gripings in the guttes CHAP. XIV What drinke the Patient infected ought to vse IF the Feauer be great and burning the patient must abstain from wine vnlesse that he be subiect to swounding and he may drink the Oxymell following in stead thereof Take of fair water three quarts wherin boile foure ounces of hony vntill the third part bee consumed scumming it continually then straine it and put it into a clean vessell and adde thereto foure ounces of vineger and as much cynamon as will suffice to giue it a taste Or else a sugered water as followeth Take two quarts of fair water of hard sugar sixe ounces of cynamon two ounces straine it through a woollen bagge or cloth without anie boiling and when the patient will vse it put thereto a little of the iuice of Citrons The syrupe of the iuce of Citrons excelleth amongst all others that are vsed against the Pestilence The vse of the Iulep following is also verie wholesome Take of the iuice of Sorrell well clarified halfe a pinte of the iuice of Lettuce so clarified foure ounces of the best hard Sugar one pound boile them together vnto a perfection let them be strained and clarified adding a little before the end a little vineger let it be vsed betweene meales with boyled water or with equall portions of the water of Sorrell Lettuce Scabious and Buglosse or take of this former described Iulep strained and clarified foure ounces let it be mixed with one pound of the forenamed cordiall waters and boile them together a little And when they are taken from the fire put thereto of yellow Sanders one dram of beaten Cinamon halfe a dram straine it through a cloth when it is cold let it bee giuen vnto the patient to drinke with the iuice of Citrons Those that haue accustomed to drinke Sider Perrie Beere or Ale ought to vse that drinke still so that it be clear transparent and thinne and made of those fruits that are somewhat tarte for troubled and dreggish drinke doth not onely engender grosse humors but also crudities windinesse and obstructions of the first region of the bodie whereof comes a feauer Oxycrate being giuen in manner following doth asswage the heate of the feauer and represse the putrefaction of the humors and the fiercenesse of the venome and also expelleth the water through the veines if so be that the patients are not troubled with spitting of bloud cough yexing and altogether weake of stomacke for such must auoid all tart things Take of faire water one quart of white or red Vineger three ounces of fine Suger foure ounces of Sirup of Roses two ounces boile them alittle and then giue the patient thereof to drinke Or Take of the iuice of Lemons and Citrons of each halfe an ounce of iuice of soure Pomegranats two ounces of the water of Sorrell and Roses of each one ounce of fair water boiled as much as shall suffice make therof a Iulep and vse it between meales Or take of Sirup of Lemons and of red Currance of each one ounce of the water of Lillies foure ounces of faire water boiled halfe a pinte make therof a Iulep Or Take of the syrups of water Lillies and Vineger of each halfe an ounce dissolve it in fiue ounces of the water of sorrell of faire water one pinte make thereof a Iulep But if the patient bee young and haue a strong and good stomacke and choloricke by natnre I thinke it not vnmeete for him to drinke a full and large draught of fountaine water cold for that is effectuall to restraine and quench the heate of the feauer and contrariwise they that drinke cold water often and a verie small quantitie at a time as the Smith doth sprinkle water on the fire at his forge doe increse the heate and burning and thereby make it endure the longer Therefore by the iudgement of Celsus when the disease is in the chiefe increase and the patient hath endured thirst for the space of three or foure dayes cold water must be giuen vnto him in great quantitie so that hee may drinke past his satietie that when his belly and stomacke are filled beyond measure and sufficiently cooled he may vomit Some doe not drinke so much thereof as may cause them to vomite but do drinke euen vnto satietie and so vse it for a cooling medicine but when either of these is done the patient must be couered with many clothes and so placed that he may sleepe and for the most part after long thirst and watching and after long fulnesse and long and great heate sound sleepe commeth by which great sweat is sent out and that is a present helpe But thirst must sometimes bee quenched with little peeces of Melons Gourds Cucumbers with the leaues of Lettuce Sorrell and purslane made moist or soked in cold water or with a little square peece of a Citron Lemon or Orange macerated in Rose water and sprinkled with sugar and so held in the mouth and then changed But if the patient be aged his strength weake phlegmaticke by nature and giuen to wine when the state of the feauer is somewhat past and the chiefe heate beginning to asswage he may drinke wine verie much delayed at his meate for to restore his strength and to supply the want of the wasted Spirits The patient ought not by anie meanes to suffer great thirst but must mitigate it by drinking or else allay it by washing his mouth with Oxicrate and such like and hee may therein also wash his hands and his face for that doth recreate the strength If the Fluxe or Laske troubel him he may verie well vse to drinke steeled water and also boiled milke wherein many stones comming red hot out of the fire haue beene manie times quenched For the drinesse and roughnesse of the mouth it is verie good to haue a cooling moistening and lenifying lotion of the mucilaginous water of the infusion of the seedes of Quinces Psilium id est Flea-wurt adding thereto a little Camphyre with the water of Plantaine and Roses then cleanse and wipe out the filth and then moisten the mouth by holding therein a little oyle of sweete Almonds mixed with a little sirup of Violets If the roughnesse doe breede or degenerate into Vlcers they must be touched with the water of the infusion of sublimate or Aqua fortis CHAP. XV. Of Antidotes to be vsed in the Plague NOw we must entreate of the proper cure of this disease which must bee vsed as soone as may bee possible because this kinde of poison in swiftnesse exceedes the celeritie of the medicine
