pure is separated from the impure the impure by a cer●ain crisis is thrust out and the heat communicated to the heart kindles a Feaver This is to be obser●ed there 's found in the masse of blood a double excrement the one thick the other thin Of the first is generated the pox of the second the measls although they are both infected by one and the same ill quality Ex●ernal causes are either contagion as when a body so diseased communicates the disease to another call'd infection or the aire from the influx of the planets or other causes corrupting or disturbing the humours and as the aire analogizeth so it produceth the pox or measles whence they are sometimes more rife one then another Now both these although they break forth in the whole body yet more abundantly in the face feet and hands contrary to the spots in Feavers which rather appear in breast and back the account of the difference is the pox arising from the ebullition of the blood the original whereof being the liver it makes expulsion to the foresaid parts as its emunctories which appears by this that the more hot the liver is the more red and pustly the face is and there 's also perceived more intense heat in the palmes of the hands and soles of the feet the expulsion being the greater to those parts Whereas the spots in maligne Feavers arise from the heart affected whence they break forth near the heart especially and in the loyns because the hollow vein ascending and the Artery is neare besides the spots often appear the seventh day symptomatically rendering the disease worse whereas the small pox and measles appear the third or fourth day from the beginning of the Feaver Critically and that safe Progn Prognosticks If they break forth quickly easily and come speedily to ripening If the Feaver be gentle the symptomes be milde and after their breaking forth remits or diminisheth If the voice be free breathing easie especially if the pox be red white distinct soft few round sharp top't be only in the skin and not in the internal parts and if there preceded a large bleeding at the nose there 's good hope for these shew the diseased matter to be little obsequious benigne and nature strong and sufficient to expel them but if they either difficultly appear or go in again if they are blew green livid hard all in one if after they break forth the Feaver lessens not If there be swooning difficulty of breathing great thirst quinsey grief unquietnesse doubtful If a flux of the belly happen after they break forth if the urine be bloody or pure blood be cast forth by the belly or by the gums nose and other parts deadly if therewith be complicated a spotted fever and the spots be livid dangerous Cure is secondly either preservative which in those of age is perfected by opening a veine purgeing and flying the contagion In Infants only use the last or curative this consists First in the mitigating of the ebullition and here bleeding if blood any what abound and age will bear it is excellent it 's to be performed the first day if this hath been neglected it may be profitably done before they break forth or at their first beginning to appear which is usually the fourth day from the assault of the Feaver but with this caution If at their appearing the Feaver and other symptomes diminish then forbear leaving the whole businesse to nature which will be able to expel its enemy But if then the Fever be more intense there be anxiety difficulty of breathing the urine be thick and red and other symptomes appear vehement it 's a signe nature is overburden'd with the humour so that it cannot fitly expel it Here bleeding is necessary by which portion of the burden being removed the rest is more easily expell'd But in a word in these diseases there 's a double ebullition of blood one is perfect i. e. when only the impure part of the blood is putrified and is by nature so purg'd that the whole masse is left pure here bleeding is needlesse for then the pox are more safe and often cur'd without the help of a Physician the other is corrupt i. e. when both the excrementitious part of the blood and the masse it selfe is putrified hence there 's the more danger and here bleeding is necessary This ebullition happens when these diseases generally reign and are stir'd up from a malign constitution of the aire and those are somtimes the fore-runners of the plague and are reckoned amongst acute diseases viz. ending in fourteen days and here the fourth day is accounted the beginning the increase is drawn forth to the seventh the state to the eleventh and the declination to the fourteenth in which time the pox are usually dri'd yet that sometimes is not till the twentieth day whereas in the other the beginning is the first day the increase the second the state the third the declination at the fourth for then the Fever and other symptomes remit But to return in the corrupt ebullition bleeding is so necessary that the tender age of children is not to hinder it may safely be used at foure yeares of age and not seldome at three the Paris-Physicians do use it to sucking children though this cannot be approved If that youngnesse hinder and the fit time be past then the abundance of blood is to be removed by cups with scarifications appli'd to the back scapula's and thighs which also much profits in the state of the disease for by them the motion of nature is helped in its expulsion from the center to the circumference but beware in children scarifications be not too deep for thereby the veines being divided the hot blood will flow out so violently that it will be difficultly staid Purging here is suspected as hindering nature in expulsion and drawing the matter flowing outward inward for whosoever having the pox are assaulted with a flux of the belly the pox suddenly returns and oft procures death yet notwithstanding purging is very profitable before the pox appear and the Fever be too violent viz. when as it were children are falling into a neutral estate Then if cacochymia abound its good to abate it that so nature may the more chearfully thrust out it's adversary but if either the pox appear or there be great malignancy as in an epidemical season Purging is very pernicious Those that are used are to be benigne as rubarb cassia manna tamarinds syrup of roses c. in the whole course of the disease if the belly be bound it 's to be moved very gently and not provoked with suppositories of honey alone without salt or a glister of broth milk or decoction of barley raisins and liquorish with sugar and yolks of egges The second work is to help nature to expel and this is to be done not only with specificks which turne out the humours to the skin but also diaphoreticks and alexipharmicks especially if

PREFACE DIseases of the body are either outward or inward The latter are either universal afflicting the whole body or particular affecting some parts The first of these are Fevers which may be divided into simple putrid and pestilential the simple are diary intermitting synochus and hectick Before particulars premise these generals First it is a hot distemper of the whole body arising from preternatural heat kindled in the heart and diffused with the spirits and blood through the veines and arteries into the whole body Secondly it 's caused by any thing that kindleth heate in the body as motion putrifaction touching and vicinity of hot things constriction of the pores c. Thirdly it 's absolved First by altering wherein so proceed that the cause be not nourished Secondly by mitigating the Symptomes which are especially thirst his cough vomiting flux of the belly drynesse blacknesse and roughnesse of the tongue c. as after CHAP. I. De Febre Ephemera THis ariseth from the inflāmation of the vital spirits in the heart continuing the space of a day therefore call'd Diary Signes Signes Urin concoct like natural if not it 's changed by obstructions and crudities Pulse quick and oft yet equal orderly great and strong Heat is sudden without loathing lasinesse sleeping or frequent yawning preceding to

the touch being pleasant and gentle there 's little or no cold or shaking unlesse the body be ill habited or it be caused by the sun or cold Paine and heat of the head oft abundance of hot and acrid breathings the pores being obstructed The causes are procatartick of which in the Differences Progn Prognosticks The cure is easie unlesse it passe into synochus sinè putredine in a body young and plethorick or into a putrid the fourth or fifth day in cacochymicks or in hecticks or bodies hot Cure dry or thin Cure first alter by coolers and moisteners either inwardly given as cream of barley fountain-water with Syrup of limons or maiden hair pleasant cooling broths hydrosacchar c. or outwardly applied to the region of the heart pulse and forehead as oxyrrhodon c. Secondly evacuate either by opening a veine if there be fulnesse or by gentle purging if there be ill habit Baths of warme water used by the ancients are suspected Thirdly strengthen the stomack Differ The differences of the Feaver taken from the causes As I. Cold especially when the patient goes from violent exercise into the cold aire then it assaults sinè horrore urin and pulse are little chang'd the heat in statu is moderate here sweating is to be provoked at the end of the fit II. Constriction of the pores known by the hardnesse compactness of the skin this ariseth from abundance of blood cold binding or drinesse It 's cured Cure first by bleeding if blood much offend Secondly by purging inciders premised if there be present plenty of crasse humors and after sweat cum vino oligophor valde diluto which is also excellent if from cold for it helps to open the passages and provokes sweat Thirdly by loosing with hot and moist temperate bathes moderate frictions quick washings if it proceed from cold III. Crudities and that numerous known by the present signes of the affected stomack Here First vomit if there be loathing and easinesse to vomit Secondly purge if vomiting be hard Here glisters may be used by which part of the crudities may be drawn away Thirdly corroborate by medicines opposing the quality of the offending humors IV. Buboes known by the presence of the bubo by the swiftnesse and greatnesse of the pulse much heat and rednesse of the face In this draw blood sufficently the bubo moderately appearing for so it vanisheth by applying either repellers or relaxers otherwise it 's to be suppurated V. Heat to this use cooling diet VI. Labour here command rest and a more liberal diet VII Weariness then use frictions VIII Anger here command quietnesse rejoycing bridle choler and use coole meats and drinkes IX Sadnesse use the same recreations of minde and thin wine X. Watching here sleep XI Hunger use a cooling and strengthening diet XII Obstructions If from fulnesse bleed if from ill habit purge if these remove not the Fever it degenerates into other Fever the cures whereof shall be set down in their proper places CHAP. II. De Synocho Simplici IT 's a Fever without putrifaction or a Diary of many dayes arising from the inflammation of the spirits and thinner blood continuing without intermission 3 4 or more dayes and is called Inflativa because where the blood is heated the vessels are distended and there is felt the lassitude of the body Signes Signes urin is more thick and redder then usual pulse great full oft and quick lasinesse without exercise heavinesse of the head forehead and temples heat gentle moistnesse of the skin stretching of the members streightnesse of the breast and difficulty of breathing It s progresse is various yet equal hence it hath three differences i. e. Epacmastica which increaseth continually Paracmastica which so decreaseth and Homoronos or Acmastica which keeps the order or form Progn Progn It 's not difficult to be cured because it oftest assaults bodies more strong temperate or more hot or moist of a middle age and fleshy unlesse it passe to another Sometimes it vanisheth the fourth day or seventh with plentiful bleeding of the nose or sweat unlesse some notable error hath been committed by the sick physician or attendants and then it may passe to a putrid or some other very grievous disease Causes Causes are those stirring up a diary if they fall in a plethorick body indued with a thick habit or from the thinner blood heated by many hot vapors which are hindered by transpiration Cure Cure first open a vain by which the blood is cooled and an increase of vapours hindered this is rather to be done oft and little by repetition then once too plentifully wherein is danger although in some cases I have knowne it very successeful It may be done at any time unlesse the stomack be full of meat for then concoction is first to be expected letting a glister precede if the belly be not open or the intestines be filled with crudity it 's to be mollifying loosening Secondly evacuate the first region lest serous and bilious excrements increasing a putrid Feaver be produced These are good Tamarinds Rhubarb cream of Tartar and syrup of Roses solutive c. for they neither heat nor move too much Thirdly alter by appointing cooling potions plentiful drinking of cold water is now disliked as dangerous opening Emulsions and Julips being more safe the Julips are made of the waters of Succory Endive Sorrel Lettice c. with the syrupes of Succory Limons Pomegranate c. adding spirit of Vitriol or Sulphur or spirit of Salt a few drops If the waters be thought too crude boyle them gently with a little Spec.

phlegmy and the fit daily Burning Fevers signes are burning heat unsatiable thirst unlesse ough causing an afflux of humours from the neighbour-parts mitigate it a tossing of the body urin little sometimes crude and filthy sometimes thin very bilious and slimy other signes are set down before in Synochus Biliosa but observe the signes of a bastard burning Fever are more gentle then the former Febris Colliquans is known by a sudden Consumption of the body and hollowness of the eyes falling of the temples sharpnesse of the nose the dejections reddish fat tough stinking troubled bilious and frothy urin fat and oleous Febris Horrifica Assodes are known by what is to be set down in their description In Feb. Elodes the skin is continually wet with humours the heat to the touch is not very sharp if from maligne causes the urin differs little from healthful if the fat waste then its fatty if the flesh then there is like pulse in the urin or if the blood and humours waste then there 's a great deale of urin for many dayes to these are added strength much wasted pulse is small and slow If from great putrifaction the urin is thick and confused the pulse great soft and frequent Feb. Syncopalis hath its name from the Symptome and is known by oft swooning and fainting In Epialas there is heat and cold felt in the body at one and the same time Causes of all are as followeth A Synochus putrid is wont to be generated of those causes that produce a simple Synochus and so not only the constipation of the skin but the obstruction of the vessel from much blood Causes and tough crasse humours which hindering transpiration of the smoaky vapours putrifaction of the blood is generated Continua Tertiana drawes it's original from bilious blood putrified in the Cava this being produced from hot and dry or thin diet hunger hot and dry distemper of the liver c. Contin Quotid is produced from putrid phlegme in the Cava it oft happens to children and aged sometimes lasting sixty dayes seldome dissolved before twenty it extreamly weakens the stomach hence Cachexia Hydrops This Fever falls out seldome because phlegme doth not so easily putrifie Contin Quartan is caused from melancholick blood putrified in the branches of the Cava arising from its proper causes this happens most seldome The accidental differences of Fevers are taken from the complication of perverse Symptomes with the essentials Diff. and from thence are denominated Feb. Caus Colliquans Horrifica c. Feb. Caus is divided into true and bastard the first is from bile putrified in the greater veines near the heart in this the Symptomes are vehement the second is either from bile mixed with phlegme or salt phlegme putrified and here the symptomes are more gentle Hence it 's manifest that there is no other true burning Fever then a continual Tertian in which the matter is more sharp and abounding in the vessels near the heart whereas in a simple Continual Tertian the matter is lesse and in vessels more remote from the heart Again an exquisite burning Fever is of two sorts one which continues in one onely fit from the beginning to the end and this is above called Synochus Biliosa vel Ardens this is from bile putrified occupying the vessels most near the heart Causes the other containes many fits and is called Ardens Parodica In this the same matter is not so near the heart Feb. Colliquans is a kinde of a burning Fever for the greatnesse of the heat doth waste the fat flesh and substantial solid parts and sometimes the humours in the veines by insensible transpiration sweat urin or stoole it 's from a thin sharp and bilious matter which begins to burne vehemently and this is not seldome joyned with a maligne and pestilential quality Horrific Feb. in which horrour happens is caused from bile and phlegme or serosities mixt which move unequally and the horrour is stirred up either from bile and crude humours burnt putrified and moved or thin sharp and serous matter biting the sensible and nervous parts or lastly the crude humour shaking nature in vaine hence the heat being driven back to the centre the extreme parts are cold and the same presently issuing out heat Assodes this may be referred to the burning Fever in which the sick is cast down grieved with much unquietnesse bearing the disease grievously and that oft with loathing and vomiting being it ariseth from sharp bilious humours biting the mouth or tunicles of the stomach Elodes in this sweat is continually poured out and is caused from the great heat of the putrid and maligne matter dissolving the substance of the body Syncopalis is double the one is from humours thin and small yet venemous and corrupt and this is called Minuta the other is from abundance of crude humours and is called Humorosa which may be referred to pituitous fevers onely here the quantity of matter is more great with a weaknesse of the mouth of the stomach Epiala in this is felt heat and cold at the same time through the whole body They have two causes the one from a certaine glassy phlegme mixt with bitter choler diffused through the whole body from the choler is the sense of heat from the phlegme the sense of cold The other is from glassie phlegme alone but partly putrified part not That which is not putrified causeth cold the other heat and both at the same time it may also be generated when two intermitting Fevers fall out in one day or an intermitting and continual the heat of one Fever falling out with the cold of another There are other accidentall differences of Fevers which may be referred to symptomatical Those are named Symptomatical which arise from the putrifaction contained in any of the bowels as these following a Plurisie peripneumonia phrenitis angina inflammatio hepatis and other internal parts ulcers or abscesses Yet diligently observe that Fevers joyned with inflammation of the parts are sometime essential and not symptomatical the inflammation of those parts following for the body being full of corrupt blood and stuffed with ill humours a Fever is stirred up and so being in motion by nature is cast to the weakest part or that which is most fit to receive the humour whence the inflammation is produced after the Fever as may be observed in sick who oft have a Fever two or three dayes before a Plurisie appear and so many in the third or fourth day of a Fever fall into a Phrensy so for most part in Gouts before inflammation tumors and paine of the joynts appear there commonly precedes a Fever for one or two dayes before so the like may be said when an Erysipelas The disposition of the urin also shewes the same discovering manifest notes of putrifaction contained in the veines for in the beginning they appeare crude but after they shew signes of concoction then also the blood drawne is very corrupt which is not when

a threefold consideration especially First when healthful windes do not blow this is evident for if the aire be not difflated and moved with the winde it easily corrupts Secondly when it 's defiled with polluted putrid and stinking vapours and this is most powerful and most frequent those vapours arise from Marshes Lakes Pooles Bogs Fish-ponds or other watery places which are standing or stuffed with filthy matter or waters wherein is steep'd lime hemp or from stinking Sinkes Dunghils and narrow lanes that stink or from dead carcases unburied Or from caves and dens in which the aire hath been very long shut up le ts out a stinking putridness by Earth-quakes or by other accident Thirdly as the aire exceeds in its first quality or it be in a preposterous condition so it afflicts men this happens various wayes but especially when it exceeds too much in hotness moistnesse being the principle of corruption hence the South-winde continuing long hath beene a speciall cause of all pestilential Fevers if it exceed in drinesse it 's lesse hurtful yet an enemy to our nature therefore if it extraordinarily exceed it procures the like affect with the other especially if therewithal be joyned excessive hotnesse by this also is fruit corrupted If it exceed in coldnesse it procures pestilent Fevers by stopping the pores whence is procured greater putrefaction and more grievous venosity and hence these Fevers are more dangerous then in Summer because then the passages are more open through which that which is putrid easily exhales and preternatural afflux from the naturall is fitly breathed out The inequalities of the times are wont to be the cause of these Fevers viz. when it 's one while hot then cold now dry then moist succeeding one another oft interchanging and continuing long as when after long heat comes extreme cold suddenly or when after long raine extreme drynesse followeth so contrary or when the aire is preposterous as hot in winter and cold in summer for hence is procured great confusion of humours thence acquiring an ill condition fit to produce maligne Fevers especially in those bodies which before by reason of ill diet are plethorick cacochymick or have notable obstructions To these causes may be added the aire altered by the afflux of ill Planets as the ☌ of ♄ ♃ and ♂ in which are humane signes especially ♂ being Lord and by these diseases are procured from no other cause then by the change of the aire Now this change is either from a manifest quality i. e. when from their influence the aire is changed or from an occultnesse when from the hidden force of the starres without notable excesse in the first qualities The first is undubitable and consented to by al Philosophers that these inferiours are governed by the superiour constellations for as the alteration of the aire which happens quarterly ariseth from the annual motion of the Sunne so the great diversity of years one being very moist another very dry when as the Sunne holds the same course in the Zodiack every year it could not be unlesse it depended upon the various Aspects of the Stars though the other not so easily beleeved is proved by Astrologers To these may be added Eclipses Meteors especially Comets which seldome ever appear but epidemical and pestilent diseases and various mutations follow in the world as may appear by the effects of that which appeared November 17. 1610. to the truth of which all Europe may give an experimentall testimony The next cause is Aliment when by reason of a certaine ill diet morjapparatus is drawn on which is the cause sine qua non and the efficient internal of all maligne and pestilent Fevers for from ill and corrupt nourishment pestilential diseases arise especially if it happen from the foresaid constitutions of the aire Famine is another cause according to the proverb A Plague followes a Famine for then the poorer sort filling themselves with ill aliment thence followes an ill habit and especially if after penury comes suddenly plenty for then they too suddenly gorging themselves with much meat which cannot by reason of the weak heat of the parts be rightly concocted whence a maligne putridnesse is acquired Again when Aliments good in themselves acquire a putrid ill quality such as Wheat Barley when either too long kept or put into ill and noysome places so also flesh or when it dies of it self For drink these may cause viz. putrid and corrupt wine and water of corrupt and putrid and stinking Lakes also other corrupted liquor The last is the non-natural as excretion and retention motion and rest sleeping and waking and the passions of the minde and these may be looked upon onely as adjuvant causes disposing the body to receive maligne putrefaction First the retention of the Menses in women other accustomed evacuations in men as the Hemorrhoids Hemorrhagiae and Fluxes of the belly which in some happen by intervals if they fall out in Epidemical constitutions they usually produce maligne diseases for that which should be cast out as superfluous and burdensome to nature being retained easily beget putrefaction So too great evacuations either of blood or other humours much weakens the body diminisheth the native heat which receives more easily the pollution of the ill and pestilent aire Too much idlenesse and too much exercise also affects the first for want of free ventilation which causeth putrefaction the other opening the pores and dissolving the heat makes a more easie way to receive the seed of contagion Too much sleep heap up many excrements and fills the body with humidities which most easily putrefie But too much watching generates crudities more then the native heat is able to regulate whence many obstructions are caused and so transpiration is hindered which generate putrefaction Passions of the minde as vehemently to move the body and disturbe the humours greatly hasten on this evill especially fear and sorrow which calls the vital spirits inward whence the strength of the heart being much broken is lesse able to resist danger yea and the commotion of the humours in the veines and their vehement disturbance dejects the natural constitution and begets maligne putrefaction However it 's thought the Plague in armies is more raging not so much from the ill diet as the apprehension of the danger of death Prognosticks are uncertaine therfore no event to be assured till there be manifest conquest either of the disease or nature Prognos which is discernable either at the end of the state or the beginning of the declination therefore in the beginning and encrease judgement is to be suspended if the Pulse keeps equal and in order in these Fevers although the Fever appears great there is alwayes good hope but contrary if inordinate unequal and contracted dangerous especially if it hath appeared weak from the beginning yet these differences of Pulses are not so pernicious in maligne as in common Fevers for although the Pulse intermitting in young is deadly

yet in this they have escaped a healthful Pulse is dangerous discovering nature so weakened that it cannot enter upon the concoction of the maligne matter hence it not being touched there followes little labour and here the Fever is little as in external Tumors so long as the part is overwhelmed from the abundance or ill quality of the matter it causeth neither paine nor Fever but when nature averse to the matter enters upon the combate and attempts to convert it into pus then at that time the Fever discovers it self So in maligne Fevers the sick seemes to be freed from it when yet it 's worse and he hastens to death Delirium in this Fever is most frequent neither is it to be feared when it 's asswaged by sleep especially if it vanish with abundance of sweat for it 's a signe the matter is called from the braine to the habit of the body a delirium persevering is most pernicious it shewes it will degenerate into a true phrensey Contractions and leaping of the members is wont to happen oft in these fevers they are convulsive motions and very dangerous and the more if joyned with delirium for they discover the braine to be much hurt the trembling motion of the tongue and hands are deadly it arguing very great weaknesse and nature to be overcome by the disease Deafnesse although in the beginning of acute diseases be most dangerous yet appearing in the state foretels safety especially in maligne Fevers for it 's observable that thousands labouring of those Fevers upon coming of deafnesse in the state although other Symptomes were very dangerous yet they have done well for it 's a signe the strength of the braine is sufficient to thrust out the noxious humours from the internal parts to the externall Sneezing in some diseases is deadly but in maligne Fevers although cruel Symptomes hold forth danger yet it holds forth security Cardialgia or hichough do threaten danger and shewes the stomach grievously afflicted with a venomous quality a great loathing of meat is most dangerous it signifying the stomach abounding with an ill quality and the temper thereof altogether overturned so that the laudable aliment which before was most familiar it loaths and hates The suppression of all evacuations in the beginning and increase of the disease is good for it shewes the diseased matter not to be so malicious as to stirre up nature before its due time but nature as yet overcomes If nothing be cast out in the state and Symptoms be cruel it 's ill it being a signe either of the diseases continuance or else doubtful whether it will end well or no. Because the maligne matter not cast out but continuing long it so afflicts and weakens the braine and produceth the phrensie lethargie which is most hard to remove Blood drawn if it be pure according as it ought it 's dangerous for it 's an evident signe that there is either more venomous quality then putrefaction or else the putrefaction is lodged in the veines next the heart and so cannot be drawn forth From urin no prognostick can be made in a pestilent Fever or if any yet uncertaine For not only confused filthy thicker and thinner urins which in other Fevers is ill but also those which are like healthful Yea and many signes of concoction manifestly appearing in the urin it changing the patient dieth worse and is removed but yet concoct urins having a laudable sediment and that continuing many dayes and day by day uniting it self more and descending by degrees into the bottome of the glasse is perpetually a certaine signe of safety also in maligne and pestilential Fever For it shewes the natural faculty is strong enough to conquer the adverse maligne quality therefore in maligne Fever where there is great feare of the sick by reason of cruell Symptomes yet if there continue Signes of concoction in the urin safety may be prognosticated with great confidence Vrin fat and oleous black or livid with the Hypostasis black or livid doth certainly pronounce ill Abundance of urin a lessening of the Fever not following is ill because it signifies colliquation Sweat in this Fever although it fall out with requisite conditions yet if not on a criticall day there cannot be safety judged Yea sometimes the Fever remits the first day by sweating but after the Symptomes increase the sick after many sweatings dies For much sweat not lessening the disease ariseth from the wasting of the whol body neither is that to be credited that critical sweats in this Fever is never profitable nam quò minùs venenositatis febris obtenuerit eò magis prodesse poterunt as in other vulgar Fevers this is a certain observation if the sick from the beginning of the Fever break forth with frequent sweats it may be profitable being a signe that nature by little attenuates the matter and casts it out by sweat The Flux of the belly of all is most uncertaine for if it happen in the beginnig it may be sometimes good otherwhiles deadly Againe premise some concoction maybe seene in those labouring of a Flux yet they may die though sometimes some escape Yet it 's thus to be distinguished when the venomous quality is of most force by which the matter from the beginning falleth down by a Flux of the belly that 's more secure but when the disease ariseth for most part from putrifaction of the humors it s worse if the Flux come at first The spots when they are many great of good colour and break forth critically they pronounce nature the Victor but if few lesse and ill colour and symptomatical it signifies the disease prevailes Furthermore if they return in after they appear it 's worst for it shewes the morbifick matter to flow inwards Exanthe mata appear in various parts and are companions of great malignity and therefore portend great danger Carbuncles and Buboes testifie the same when they are wont to accompany these Feavers whereof they are a peculiar character for in them more die then escape Anthrax and Buboes farthest from the heart increase sooner and come to maturation these are lesse dangerous yet if the humours increase suddenly with cruel symptomes it 's ill Very great Carbuncles of a naughty colour with eating Vlcers or which are changed into a Gangrene are deadly as also those near the heart or passe nigh the throat This is certain many Carbuncles are more dangerous then few contrary the more Buboes the more secure then few Parotis in maligne and spotted Fevers in the increase or state is deadly but if they appear little at the declining of the disease and come to suppuration they are safe Cure Cure Respects preservation cure and removing of Symptomes Preservation of those on whom it is not yet broke forth consists especially in removing the causes which fit the body to receive the Fever and those things that produce it which are either internal or external the first are Plethona Cacochymia and
