the_o pestilence_n in_o a_o small_a time_n threescore_o and_o ten_o thousand_o soul_n now_o this_o may_v be_v proof_n sufficient_a that_o sin_n be_v the_o original_n and_o chief_a cause_n of_o this_o most_o cruel_a disease_n of_o the_o pestilence_n the_o second_o cause_n be_v attribute_v to_o a_o evil_a constellation_n which_o astronomer_n affirm_v to_o proceed_v by_o the_o place_n of_o the_o

cause_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o air_n which_o be_v corrupt_v be_v apt_a for_o infection_n of_o man_n body_n for_o all_o live_a creature_n draw_v their_o breath_n from_o the_o air_n that_o be_v round_o about_o they_o which_o if_o it_o be_v stink_v wenomous_a and_o corrupt_v the_o body_n of_o man_n live_v therein_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v corrupt_v whereby_o often_o time_n the_o pestilence_n be_v engender_v the_o four_o cause_n be_v the_o aptness_n of_o the_o body_n of_o man_n through_o corrupt_a and_o rot_a humour_n fit_v to_o receive_v the_o effect_n of_o a_o venomous_a air_n putrify_v and_o corrupt_v the_o body_n whereby_o the_o pestilence_n be_v engender_v and_o this_o aptnsse_n to_o infection_n proceed_v by_o the_o abuse_n of_o the_o six_o thing_n which_o be_v call_v by_o the_o physician_n not_o natural_a which_o be_v 1._o air_n 2._o meat_n and_o drink_n 3._o sleep_v and_o watch_v 4._o exercise_n and_o rest_n 5._o emptiness_n and_o repletion_n 6._o the_o perturbation_n and_o affection_n of_o the_o mind_n now_o as_o the_o true_a use_n of_o these_o thing_n that_o be_v call_v not_o natural_a do_v maintain_v and_o cherish_v health_n so_o the_o abuse_n thereof_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o disease_n &_o sickness_n for_o which_o cause_n i_o counsel_v all_o manner_n of_o person_n in_o this_o time_n of_o contagion_n to_o fly_v surfeit_v gurmandize_v and_o other_o unseasonable_a banketing_n whereby_o the_o health_n of_o the_o body_n be_v at_o all_o time_n impair_v for_o who_o know_v not_o that_o great_a and_o often_o feed_v breed_v crudity_n and_o raw_a waterish_a humour_n in_o the_o body_n which_o crudity_n be_v a_o fit_a sediment_n or_o subject_n for_o the_o venomous_a and_o corrupt_a air_n to_o work_v on_o for_o which_o cause_n the_o learned_a physician_n as_o well_o ancient_a as_o modern_a give_v counsel_n that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o pestilence_n and_o contagion_n those_o body_n that_o be_v humid_a and_o moist_a must_v be_v by_o all_o manner_n of_o mean_n make_v dry_a and_o those_o that_o be_v dry_a to_o be_v keep_v and_o preserve_v in_o their_o dryness_n for_o by_o observation_n it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v that_o the_o phiegmaticke_a and_o sanguine_a body_n be_v soon_o subject_v to_o infection_n then_o the_o choloric_a or_o melancholic_a and_o experience_n do_v daily_o teach_v we_o when_o for_o the_o most_o part_n woman_n child_n and_o man_n of_o young_a year_n be_v those_o that_o die_v in_o this_o disease_n of_o the_o pestilence_n as_o those_o body_n that_o be_v hot_a and_o moist_a and_o thereby_o fit_a to_o receive_v putrefaction_n but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o i_o promise_v in_o the_o beginning_n not_o to_o be_v over-tedious_a as_o those_o that_o make_v a_o long_a discourse_n i_o purpose_v to_o proceed_v brief_o unto_o the_o sign_n whereby_o a_o man_n may_v know_v and_o perceive_v when_o the_o contagion_n have_v take_v hold_n of_o he_o and_o thereby_o run_v speedy_o unto_o such_o mean_n &_o help_n as_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o physic_n shall_v be_v to_o he_o describe_v sign_n the_o sign_n to_o know_v when_o the_o body_n be_v infect_v be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n a_o apostum_fw-la or_o tumour_n about_o the_o ear_n neck_n under_o the_o arm_n hole_n or_o flank_v with_o a_o fever_n and_o sometime_o there_o arise_v in_o some_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n a_o dark_a green_a or_o evil_a colour_a sore_n these_o sign_n for_o the_o most_o port_n do_v appear_v but_o not_o always_o but_o for_o the_o more_o certainty_n we_o must_v consider_v these_o symptom_n or_o sign_n that_o follow_v there_o happen_v after_o infection_n a_o great_a prick_n and_o shoot_v in_o the_o body_n and_o especial_o in_o the_o neck_n armhole_n and_o flank_n also_o extreme_a heat_n

no_o desire_n of_o meat_n with_o often_o vomit_v the_o matter_n be_v bitter_a &_o of_o diverse_a colour_n the_o urine_n trouble_v thick_a and_o stink_a &_o for_o the_o most_o part_n without_o

like_a manner_n a_o man_n may_v have_v these_o sign_n and_o yet_o free_a from_o infection_n some_o physician_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o there_o be_v scarce_o any_o disease_n where_o the_o pestilence_n reign_v but_o that_o it_o be_v either_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o pestilence_n or_o apt_a to_o be_v turn_v into_o the_o same_o and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v as_o concern_v sign_n of_o the_o infection_n with_o the_o pestilence_n we_o will_v now_o proceed_v to_o the_o preseruative_n and_o cure_n of_o the_o cure_n of_o the_o pestilence_n as_o i_o have_v already_o declare_v

consist_v in_o evacuation_n and_o mundification_n of_o the_o body_n the_o second_o in_o a_o due_a observation_n of_o diet_n the_o three_o in_o comfort_v and_o strengthen_v of_o the_o principal_a
