moderately moiste be moche commendable in y e time of pestylence yet there must be moderatiō in the same as well as in the .vi. thinges not natural heretofore declared For ye muste haue a good respecte vnto the complexiō the age the custome of lyuing the region composicion of the bodye strengthe sicknes time and many other thinges For some requyre an ayer more hote than other some do and likewise in o●her thynges the whiche I do remyt vnto the good discreacion of euery wel lerned man and to such other as haue any knowlege of naturall thynges For the more suerty it is good for thē y t may to dwel in hygh or hylly groūdes hauing in the mornyng whan the sunne is vp a wyndowe open toward the easte and whan the sonne goethe downe an other windowe open toward the west and close vp al y

if it be winter or colde make a lusty fier of clene wood put in it encence mirre laurel tre or iuniper or cipres and in tyme temperate mingle the hote thinges with y e colde aforesayde Whiche sprincklinges and burninges ye maye make at all times whan ye wyll but specially in the morning to correcte the vapoures of the night I rede in Plotyne that the egiptians were wont to fume their houses and theyr bodyes in the day with turpentine or rosin and in the night with mirre caste vpō the coales and so resisted al venimous ayres contagions The fyrste hath so greate vertue against the pestilence that we rede how Hypocrates preserued the hole coūtry and citye of Athenes by makynge of great fyres in the stretes and al about the towne by nighte and so deliuered them from the certayne death y t shuld haue comen among them For which cause the citizens of the sayde towne made vnto hym an ymage al of golde and honoured hym alyue as yf he had bene a god And it is good in hote time to

cary aboute wyth you in a cloth to take the ayer of them And in time of heate temper a sponge or a cloute in water of roses vinegre And in tyme of cold ye may adde to it a litle cinamome thus he that is disposed to haue precious sauours as pomeaunders or other such may cōpose them according to necessitie as y e cōplexiō of his body shal require Alway takyng hede y e women whiche are wyth chyld and they that haue y e suffocation of the mother or els catarres take no such odour as shal put thē selues to any daunger or displeasure In a colde tyme it is good to hold in the mouth zedoary enulacampana cinamome cloues the rinde of a citrō lignum aloes or any one of them But yf the season of the yere be hoote then take corianders prepared graines of paradyse saunders seedes of orenges or

saphyre whiche hath a special vertue agaynst the pestilence they be the stōger yf they be borne vpon youre naked skinne chieflye vpon the fourth finger of the left hande for that hath greate affinitie with the hert aboue other membres And as touchynge them that are contynually among the sycke of this disease they muste take hede in any wise to kepe them from theyr breathe and that they do not stande betwene them and the fyre nor receiue the odoure of theyr swettes vrynes vomites and other excrementes of the bodye nor to eate and drynke with thē nor in their vesselles nor to lye in theyr couches nor weare any of theyr apparel except they be well sunned or wethered in the cleane ayer It is also good to flye from al pla●es that be corrupte or stynkyng and to kepe the stretes houses very swete and cleane And the rulers ought so to prouide that no filthy donge nor any deade caryons be cast into the stretes for that shulde sore enfecte the ayer bryng many mē to death And during al the time of this disease there ought to be no hote houses vsed but forbidden and locked vp tyl suche tyme they se no further daunger ¶ The second Chapter of eatyng and drynkyng THe meates oughte to be of

cūmeth vpon you after the fyrst digestiō made Great repletion ought to be abhorred but a sufficient meale is verye holsome Neither is diuersitie of meates alowed of anye phisike but yf ye wyll haue diuers sortes then beginne wyth them that are the lyghtest to digest and that best nourisheth y e bodye Your bread muste be of pure corne kept in good ayre and not fusty metely well salted with

bene twise sodden thicke wyne and troublous or otherwyse corrupte waters of ma●ishes blacke groundes and al such corrupte meates drinkes be very peryllous But good wyne sauoury and cleare and good
