are dangerous in that fierce disease and whether the patient at that instant be found sweating burning quaking raving or in any other distemper give it in and the party that taketh it ●ought to be in his warme bed fitted with sufficient coverings before he takes this Medicine in then let him take it either mixed with some cordiall thing if he please as a little Mithridate or give it mixed with the pap of an Apple which will doe as well and so it is easiest taken in by infants as I suppose for it needs no addition at all to adde vertue to it onely the addition chiefly serves to carry or convay the medicine without wasting into the stomach for that it is a powder small in quantity and subject to waste Also the party that is to take it must have before hand an ordinary posset of Ale and milke to the quantity of a quart very warm which when he hath taken his medicine shortly after let him drink a reasonable full draught of the said posset well warmed and then lying on the one side which side the patient please let him be warme covered head face and all leaving full breathing scope and so in Gods name let him lye still and sweat gently if he can beare it for three or foure houres were best ever as he thirsteth let him freely take warme posset drink which were best to be given him in some cruet or spout-pot if such were at hand that he take no ayre by raising himselfe up in drinking And when he hath performed his due sweating let him be wiped dry and shifted and then give the patient some warme broath And further by divers experiences the Author hath found that a patient so healed shifting his cloaths infecteth not an other although he goe abroad the next day for by that strong sweating the venome of the disease is wholy evaporated and gon so as the next day he may by Gods mercy safely goe abroad but for the day of his sweating let him keepe within and give him food competent in a sparing quantity such as is of a light digestion and deny him not drinke so that it be somwhat warme at the fire only for that day Thus much for those which take the medicine within 24 houres of the first complaint Item unto such as the disease hath taken greater hold of namely that before the receite of the aforesaid Antidote the patient have outward tumours swellings or Soares as Botches Carbuncles or blaines not yet broken nor ripe if hee take the medicine as aforesaid and sweat well upon it the venome of the soares as is said shall through Gods Mercy be so evapourated by his sweating that the swellings shall decline of themselves and not at all come forward and if any after do break as being formerly supperated or ripe before the medicine tooke place they also shall as ordinary boyles easily and quickly heale with every meane medicine And notwithstanding generally once sweating healeth the Patient yet neverthelesse if occasion bee hee may safely take a second Dosse or proportion yea and a third without danger as diverse have done so that he may be the more confident of perfect health neverthelesse if he find his desire by the first let him not take a second and if by a second let him not take a third for sweating medicines too often taken are obnoxious to a dijected weeke patient The Vertue of the precedent Antidote in the cure of the small Pox THe Disease of the small Pox hath great affinity with that most fearefull Disease of the Plague being also contagious and deadly often times and the cure thereof I have experienced to be by the same way as the cure of the Plague only the cure of the smal Pox succeeds best if it be begun before that they doe manifest themselvs and namely in the first day of the Feaver or soon after for that disease hath ever a forerunning hot feaver or Ague for a messenger wherfore it were not amisse for any that hath young children especially in times that are contagious and infectious to be prepared with remedies at hand to fit such an unwelcome guest considering the medicine will keep its Vertue for more then seven yeeres Moreover for the manner of the sweating in the small Pox let it bee very wearily and gently and with no more cloathes then will keepe the patients sweating and defend them from taking cold and deny not them warm posset-drinke in the time of their sweating Also when any person is desirous to take the benefit of the aforesaid medicine having an Ague or Feaver with paraxismes or fits let him not take the medicine in the time of the fit but one full houre as is said before the fit or rather more but if the Feaver be continuall as often in that fierce disease of the Plague it is give it at any time in manner aforesaid for if he take it and his burning change into sweating which the medicine usually produceth the feare of Death in the Patient is halfe over And further of a truth the Author can affirme that he hath cured some by the heretofore mentioned Antidote that had the Pestities or spots of the Plague vulgarly called Gods tokens upon them and they are yet living witnesses thereof for which and all other his exceeding favours in that fearefull disease the Almighty God alone be glorified And so the Author briefly eoncludeth with a Copy of a certificate concerning the Vertue of the before mentioned Antidote Aurum Vitae referring the Reader for further attestation to the Authors Booke called the Surgions Mate or Militarie and domestike Surgerie The Copy of a Certificate concerning the Vertue of the precedent Antidote called Aurum Vitae from the Justices Ministers and other the Officers of the Parish of S.

Kirke Edward Martin And for Satisfaction of such Persons as being in health desire preservatives the Author observing that although his Antidote be granted to be a cure for the diseased of the Plague yet nevertheles therby it giveth not those that are well satisfaction concerning their desires which are rather for the present to be furnished with some good preservative Medicine such as by art through Gods permission may preserve them in health from that dreadfull disease that it seaze not upon them unawares Wherefore to satisfie such he hath prepared two preservative helpes the one being a powder to be inwardly taken fasting each morning the quantity of eight graines either in Beere Ale or wine Or to children if it be mixed with butter and spred upon their bread or given them in milke or any way else that they will be induced to take it in it sufficeth And that they fast two houres after it they may relie upon it as on a good preservative well approved of And further if any man woman or child should accidentally or willingly take treble the quantity prescribed they may safely doe it without any danger at all Yet by way of a preservative as is said to prevent the comming of the disease the Author holdeth the aforesaid quantity of eight graines is sufficient The second preservative intended for correction of the Ayre is to be carried in a box about the person of any to make use of it at their wils that they may often smell thereto and thence draw in a preservative Ayre to defend them from the danger of noysome vapours which commonly the Plague entreth by as sent from the Almighty who alone defendeth from sendeth to and of his mercifull providence cureth the Plague Vnto whom be ascribed all honour and glory Amen These 2 last recited Medicines are to be sold with the Antidote ready prepared for use By Nicholas Bourne as aforesaid The Dose of Aurum Vitae Of the continuance of its Vertue To cure Agues or Feavers that are contagious Necessaries to bee provided before the taking
