Let all yong people forbear them whilst they are in health for their blood is usually hot enough without them 3. Have regard to the season of the year so shall you find them more beneficial in Summer than in in Winter because in Summer the body is alwaies coldest within and digestion weakest and that is the reason why men and women eat less in Summer than they do in Winter Thus much for people in health which drink strong waters for recreation As for the Medicinal use of them it shall be shewed at the 〈◊〉 end of every Receipt only in general they are due respect had to the humors afflicting and part of the body afflicted medicinal for diseases of cold and flegm chilliness of the spirits c.

It is exceeding good in pestilential Feavers and preserveth from ill airs and keepeth the humors in the body from corruption it cools the heart and blood and strengtheneth such as are oppressed by heat to conclude it is a gallant cool cordial though costly It being out of the reach of a vulgar mans purse I omit the dose let the Gentry and Nobility study Physick themselves so shall they know it for had they wanted hearts to that study no more than they wanted time and means it had been far better for this Common-wealth than now it is If a Gentleman have no skill in Physick himself Dr. Dunce if he have a Plush Cloak on will serve his turn Pulvis Saxonicus Page 96. in the Latin Book The Colledg Take of the Roots of both sorts of Angelica Swallow-wort 〈◊〉 Valerian Polypodium of the Oak Marsh-mallows Nettles of each half an ounce the 〈◊〉 of German Mezereon two drachms twenty grains of Herb 〈◊〉 love the Leaves of the same Roots and all thirty six the Roots being steeped in Vineger and 〈◊〉 beat it all into pouder Culpeper A.

I see now the Colledg is not too old to learn how to dry Herbs for before they appointed them to be dried in the shadow I would they would learn humility and honesty and mind the common good and consider what infinite number of poor creatures perish daily whom Christ hath 〈◊〉 purchased to himself and bought with the price of his blood through their hiding the rules of Physick from them who else happily might be preserved if they knew but what the Herbs in their own Gardens were good for with what face will they answer for this another day before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the holy Angels a few thoughts of this might put them upon such principles as might be a lengthning to their Tranquility but why do I
spend time about them seeing there is little hopes they will be honester for why did they change the name of this Receipt from a pouder against the bitings of Mad-dogs to Pulvis Antilyssus was it not because people should not know what it is good for but if they be bitten they may be mad and hang themselves for all them I beleeve I have hit the nail at head the first blow A drachm of the Pouder is sufficient to take every morning Rosatae Novellae Page 97. in the Latin Book The Colledg Take of red Roses Liquoris of each one ounce one drachm two scruples and an half Cinnamon two drachms two scruples and two grains Cloves Indian Spicknard Ginger Galanga Nutmegs Zedoary Styrax Calamitis Cardamoms Parsly seeds of each one scruple eight grains beat them into pouder Culpeper A.

And when you have occasion to use it mix so much of it with the white of an Egg as will make it of the thickness of Honey then dip the wool of a Hare in it and apply it to the sore or part that bleedeth binding it on A. In my opinion this is a pretty Medicine and will stick on till the sore be throughly healed and then will come off of it self I remember when I was a child we applied such a medicine only we left out the Aloes and Frankinsence and used only Coneys wool and the white of an Egg to kibed heels and alwaies with good success And why could they not here set down the yertues and way to use it as they did last time Do they delight to have the curses of the Widdow and Fatherless and the last groans of poor dying People ring in the ears of the Lord God Almighty against them or did they think I was dead they and their Imps having so often cursed me to the pit of Hell for doing my Country good No I would have them know that through the prayers of so many honest people and so many that bless God for me my life shall be lengthned to a longer date than their Charter and when I die I shall have more weeping eyes accompanying me to the Grave than all they have friends in the whol Universe Pulvis Hermodactylorum compositus Page 97.

That this Receipt is gallantly composed none can deny and is an excellent purge for such bodies as are troubled with the wind chollick or stoppage either of the guts or Kidneys two drams taken in white Wine will work sufficiently with any ordinary body Let weak men and children take less keeping within doors and warm And why must the Colledg spit their venom in defacing the name of the deceased Dr. Ralf Holland with a deleatur why should all be accounted their own when nothing indeed is theirs but folly and baseness Pulvis 〈◊〉 Compositus minor Page 98. in L.

This Pouder purgeth melancholly and clense the head Montagnanus was the Author of it only the Colledg something altered the quantities of the Simples the following pouder works somthing violently by reason of the Scammony that is in it this is more gentle and may be given without danger even two drachms at a time to ordinary bodies I would not have the unskilful meddle with the following Neither is it fitting for weak bodies and children such as are strong may take a drachm or a drachm and an half mixing it with white Wine let them take it early in the morning after they are up and not fleep after it for fear of danger two hours after let them drink warm posset drink and six hours after eat a bit of warm Mutton let them walk about the chamber often and not stir out of it that day Diasenae Page 98. in the Latin Book The Colledg Take of Senna Cremor Tartar of each two ounces Cloves Cinnamon Galanga Ammi of each two drachms Diacrydium half an ounce beat it into pouder according to art Culpeper A. Out of question some body had formerly cursed the Colledg for calling so violent a purge a HOLY POUDER and therefore now they changed the name yet this Use may safely be made of their Doctrine `` Themselves being violent `` count the violentest things the most holy Diaturbith with Rhubarb Page 98. in the Latin Book The Colledg Take of Turbith Hermodactils of each an ounce Rhubarb ten drachms Diacrydium half an ounce Sanders red and white Violets Ginger of each a drachm and an half Mastich Annis 〈◊〉 Cinnamon Saffron of each half a drachm make it into pouder Culpeper A.
