goeth out of the bath in to the bedde she must receiue the foresayd syrupe and decoction of the herbe called rubea tinctorū or madder sodden in cleare water In steade of syrupes ye maye take the verye

labour to prouoke sweate and to sleape as litle as maye be possible But if it come of great debility and weakenes of the body when the natural strengthe is ouercome by reason of some sickenes or after a longe ague in this case ye maye not go about to prouoke the sayde purgacion but with al your endeuoure seke to restore nature and geue the pacient thynges of much nourishmente as potched egges good

licoure in the sonne to rectifye ¶ Whan a person is infected with the pestilence First as I sayde afore lette hym bleede in a due vayne than geue hym a sponefull of this lycoure with as muche as a nutte of triacle yf so be ye haue any luke warme by and by let a cruste of breade all hote be dipped in vineger and holden to his mouth that he may the better broke the medicine And yf he chaunce to

After this set hym in a warme bed couered that he may sweate out y e resydue of the venime and by the grace of God he shall escape the daunger This is a medicine of infinite vertue But if the pacient haue a greate heate geue hym no triacle or els very litle ¶ The .iiii. chapter of the cure of pestilence by lettyng of bloud ventoses and purgacions ALthough phlebotomy or lettyng of bloud be one of the chief thinges that are requyred to the cure of the pestilence yet for lacke of vnderstandyng and letting bloud otherwyse than behoueth manye one is cast awaye and therefore euerye good barboure ought for to take heed y t he hurt not them whiche come vnto hym for helpe for that were a greatte shame whiche he shal neuer do yf he ponder wel y e thinges y t shal be said herafter ¶ Thys is a general rule IN the time of pestilence whā a body is infect ye maye not haue respecte either to y e signe y e daye or y e houre but whether the mone be there or not or what aspectes so euer be in y e planettes lette him blede forth with in the name of God Younge men and sanguine and they that haue aboundaunce of ●●e● and of blood mingled with other ●ors ought to blede somwhat more in quātitie but alwayes kepe a moderacion that ye take not out to gre●● quātitye at once It is better to let hym blood twyse leauynge the wonde of the fyrst stroke open and annoynt it with a litle oile and after foure or fiue houres let him blede in the same wound agayne but wythout strykyng yf it be possible But alwayes gyue an eye to the strength of the paciente that it be not enfebled and agayne beware that ye haue taken awaye the rankest and the strōgest venime wherin yf ye be doutful take the counsaile of some good expert phisicion Also ye must note that ye may not let blood to any children within the age of .xiiii. yere nor to olde men aboue fyftye yere olde nor to women great with childe specially nere vnto theyr tyme nor when theyr due purgacions is vpon thē nor to thē that are newly brought to bed or within a wekeor ii after she is purified generally to none whiche is weake feble in hys body Ye shal also note that there are some olde menne of better strength complexion than many yong are of agayne dyuers young children often or twelue yeres olde are of higher corage and of as good strengthe as they that are many yeres elder In suche cases a litle euentaciō of the enfected blood may be y e sauing of theyr liues so that all thinges be done with good discretion It is wisdome also to let them blood liyng vpō theyr backes whō ye thinke would fainte in stāding or in syttyng And yf the case do requyre the letting of blood and the paciente be not able to beare it for any of the causes afore rehersed it is good to apply ventoses in maner and fourme as I shall declare hereafter And here we shulde saye somwhat of the greate errour that many do commyt in taking one veyne for an other for by such errours is the venym drawen many tymes vnto the herte and so procureth deathe vnto the pacient Wherefore that ye may not be dis●eyued euer in the pestilence lette him blood on that syde that the sore is on and not on the contrarye syde in anye wyse for that shulde drawe the venim ouerthwarte the membres spirytuall and so destroye the man But or euer ye lette him blood it is good to gyue some good and holsome medicine agaynst the venyme such as is declared in the chapters herbefore If the botche appeare vnderneth the eares let him blood in the hed veyne of y e same arme or els in the braunche of the same veyne which is vpon the hand betwene the myddle fynger and the
