dayes after your purging or longer for it will cause the flegme to come vp easily and is a wonderfull preseruatiue for the lungs keeping them from putrifaction But otherwise if you will haue a thing of like or greater vertue also more readie more pleasant and which wil last longer in perfect force take the things aboue mentioned in such quantities as before that is of the leaues of Tussilago one handfull Lickerish scraped and bruled two ounces Aniseede brused halfe an ounce I ssop foure branches of the Herbe commonlie called Ros solis halfe an handfull Steepe these in a quart of verie good Malmesie and let it stand in a reasonable heat by the fire side close stopped 24. houres or more After take it from the fire and when it is almost cold straine it and put thereto a pound and a halfe of fine Sugar well beaten and then let it stand in as gentle an heate as you can vpon a chafing dish with embers in a faire Pewter vessell vntill it be verie thicke alwaies stirring it now and then It will bee well in eight or nine houres But if thou wilt haue a certaine rule when it groweth to bee thicke drop two or three drops on a colde Pewter vessell and if when it is perfect cold it bee as it were a gellie and will not run then it is well Keepe it in a gallie pot close stopped somewhat neere the fire For the cough thou shalt vse it in this order After purging as before clarifie a draught of Ale and put to it a spoonefull thereof drinking it warme and fasting If anie man bee sicke of anie disease wherein he is also troubled with tough and slimie fleame let him take now and then a litle hereof vppon a kniues point and hold it long in his mouth so that it melt downe some some For thereby the fume thereof and part of the substance will passe with the breath into the lunges loose the fleame and cause it to void easilie For those that are troubled with the shortnesse of breath hauing their lunges drie so that it is a continuall labour for them to fetch their wind it is good first to take of my Potion now and then for a daie or two asmuch as will giue them three or foure stooles at a time and afterwards to vse the Medicine before rehearsed made with Malmesie in this order following Clarifie a draught of Ale and put therein the yolk of a new laid egge and one spoonefull of the medicine when you are ready to take it from the Fire and let the patient drinke it fasting and fast one houre after it Although thou haue beene troubled with this griefe many yeares yet if thou vse this medicine it will moisten and open thy lungs or lights and cure thee Thou canst not vse it too long for it is both a nutriment and a medicine In this sort also shalt thou greatlie ease them which are entring into the consumption of the Lunges But if they will bee cured they must withall abstaine from all Spices Wines and Salt meates which fret or inflame their bodies Also they must haue a great care that they vse no violent Exercise to ouer heate their Bodies and that in Coughing they straine their Lightes as little as possible may bee least by violent Coughing they teare them Cheese nuts and all rawe fruites also are verie euill for them They cannot haue too great care in their diet and vsage For this disease is verie harde and almost vnpossible to bee perfectlie cured If any man by vehement labour or exercise heate his bodie excessiuelie and during his heate either by Drinking by rest or any meanes suddenly coole himselfe extreamelie for the most part he falleth sicke vnto death and if he escape yet he remaineth weake and sicklie during his life for nature misliketh nothing more than a sudden passage from the one contrarie which is extreame heate vnto the other which is extreame cold Now if the partie thus heating his Bodie do keepe himselfe so warme that he abate the extremitie by little and little vntill he come to that state in which he was before his heate then he falleth not sicke neither doth nature complain at all Wherevpon I thinke by great reason and I am sure by long experience I may conclude that the best meane to cure a man in this extremitie is to bring his bodie orderlie againe to the like heate wherin it was when he tooke cold and to suffer the same some and some as it were by degrees to passe away which thou shalt do in this order Take a pint of ale clarifie it and dissolue therein as much treacle as a walnut and a spooneful of the medicine before rehearsed made with malmesie Let the patient drink a good draught hereof warmed fasting and keepe his bed sweat foure or fiue hours after it and during his sweat now and then let him take of the Ale thus prepared vntill he haue taken all If it be a Child lesse quantitie will serue and in anie wise abate his sweate verie gentlie and beware he take no cold For three mornings following let him take one draught of the like two howers before he rise and keepe his body warme without sweating Note if in the beginning of his sickenesse thou vse the order prescribed for the first day hee will presently recouer But if hee haue been long sicke and so weake that he bee not able to sweate as before there is no hope of life Note that if the patient be much bound I wish thee to giue him fiue or sixe spoonefuls of my Potion to ease and disburden nature and let him drinke oft milde and thin Broth warme For a Surfet by ouer eating The eight Chapter WHen any man either by long fasting being very hungry or otherwise comming to such daintie meates as he is not vsed vnto eate ouer much and cloyeth nature she refuseth to digest at all like as one seeing a burden farre too heauie for him to beare doth not so much as once offer to lift it This griefe is in the quantitie of things taken But there is also the like in the euill quality of meats although they exceed not in quantitie as in eating of fresh-herings fat Pies Piecrust heauie Cakebread and such like whereof eating but so much as may well be eaten of better meates oftentimes groweth greater sicknes For cure if the Patient complaine as yet the cause or matter of his griefe being in the stomach giue him a draught of water warme as milke from the cowe with two spoonefuls of Sallet oyle which will cause him to Uomit but if it worke not quickly let him helpe it with his finger by offering it to his throate And after his vomit giue him three or foure spoonfuls of a Cawdell or some Broath reasonably hot and let him haue great care of his diet for fiue or sixe daies following first that hee eate nothing but what is warme and easie to

thinke it very necessarie for Citizens and such as liue in a close ayre now and then to assemble themselues together in the fields in some sweete and open place there also to vse moderate exercise which will greatly purifie their bodyes and in the meane time to leaue a good huswife at home to see the house made cleane sweete by sweeping by strowing good Hearbes by ayring the bedding by opening the windowes to let fresh ayre into euery roome c. Thirdly I wish that through all London in euery Ward there may be certaine appoynted to see that no House or Roome within any house be ouer pestered with lodgings or people and to driue out of the Citie such as vpon examination they shall finde to be vagabondes or vnnecessarie members For this is no lesse requisite for such a Citie then a Purgation for him whose body is full of corruption For cure take Endi●e water a quart Centuarie water a pint Iuie berries halfe an handfull bruised Boyle these together gently a quarter of an houre and when you take it frō the fire dissolue therein as much Treacle as a Nut and a litle Sugar also put thervnto three spoonefuls of Uineger As soone as euer the patient doth complaine nature being yet strong giue him fasting one good draught thereof warme and let him keepe his bed and sweate ten houres or lesse as the strength of the patient will beare And in his sweating giue him now and then Ale clarified and into euery draught put two or three spoonefuls of the decoction When he riseth giue him some Broth not made ouer strong neither with much Spice and be very carefull to keepe him from the ayre This decoction thus vsed will either force out the sore or else if the patient sweate throughly well cure him without any sore And if thou find he be not greatly eased within viii houres after his sweating the next day vse the like order But whereas in this and diuers other diseases heretofore I haue prescribed the patient to drinke in his sweating I know it doth not agree with many Writers neither do I take it to be absolutely good but herein rather I admit a small euill to auoyde a greater For the Crampe The 21. Chapter FOr the Crampe I wish you to vse Vnguentum Brioniae by which name aske for it of M.
