syrup_n of_o violet_n and_o if_o the_o patient_n will_v not_o drink_v barley_n water_n let_v he_o drink_v fountain_n water_n or_o rain_v water_n boil_v and_o mix_v with_o the_o syrup_n aforesaid_a

of_o the_o best_a evacuation_n that_o profit_v in_o this_o sickness_n chap._n xii_o rule_n as_o touch_v blood-letting_n the_o potion_n and_o evacuation_n which_o be_v necessary_a for_o he_o that_o

as_o any_o one_o feel_v himself_o seize_v give_v he_o this_o potion_n take_v of_o the_o juice_n of_o marigold_n the_o quantity_n of_o two_o or_o three_o ounce_n give_v it_o the_o patient_a to_o drink_v with_o a_o little_a white_a wine_n or_o sorrel-water_n and_o cover_v he_o well_o that_o he_o may_v sweat_v this_o juice_n make_v a_o man_n free_a and_o assure_v from_o the_o venom_n as_o testify_v alexander_n benedictus_n in_o his_o treatise_n of_o the_o plague_n and_o it_o be_v a_o most_o try_a and_o notable_a secret_n and_o if_o he_o sweat_v after_o he_o have_v take_v the_o same_o he_o shall_v be_v assure_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n of_o perfect_a health_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o say_a herb_n you_o may_v take_v the_o juice_n of_o vervine_n in_o like_a quantity_n or_o the_o juice_n of_o the_o herb_n call_v scabious_a which_o have_v great_a force_n and_o efficacy_n in_o this_o case_n give_v two_o ounce_n of_o the_o say_a juice_n with_o white_a wine_n rose-water_n or_o sorrel-water_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v a_o wonderful_a effect_n but_o these_o remedy_n ought_v to_o be_v give_v sudden_o for_o if_o the_o sick_a man_n dally_v a_o day_n or_o two_o before_o he_o

apply_v cupping-glass_n with_o scarification_n on_o his_o shoulder_n and_o buttock_n from_o the_o strong_a able_a and_o well_o complexioned_a you_o may_v take_v some_o six_o ounce_n of_o blood_n or_o at_o the_o least_o three_o or_o four_o but_o for_o such_o as_o be_v weak_a they_o must_v not_o be_v deal_v with_o and_o note_v that_o in_o this_o sickness_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v busy_a in_o take_v blood_n although_o blood-letting_n be_v necessary_a because_o blood_n be_v the_o treasury_n of_o life_n who_o assistance_n nature_n need_v to_o combat_v with_o the_o venom_n as_o also_o for_o that_o by_o much_o let_a blood_n man_n force_n be_v weaken_v and_o the_o venom_n work_v with_o more_o advantage_n as_o shall_v be_v hereafter_o declare_v and_o whenas_o the_o patient_a be_v let_v

that_o side_n of_o the_o body_n on_o which_o the_o tumour_n show_v itself_o namely_o if_o the_o swell_a begin_v to_o show_v behind_o the_o right_a ear_n draw_v blood_n in_o the_o cephalica_fw-la of_o the_o right_a arm_n and_o so_o of_o the_o left_a if_o the_o sign_n appear_v under_o the_o arm_n pit_n you_o shall_v cut_v the_o median_n of_o the_o same_o side_n namely_o on_o the_o right_a arm_n if_o
