out_o of_o those_o thing_n that_o do_v resist_v all_o sort_n of_o poison_n for_o neither_o butter_n nor_o milk_n nor_o oil_n or_o other_o thing_n which_o resist_v arsenic_n and_o corrosive_n be_v ingredient_n in_o their_o antidote_n but_o they_o be_v select_v out_o of_o the_o medicinal_a matter_n of_o cordial_n to_o wit_n they_o will_v only_o have_v the_o heart_n to_o be_v defend_v against_o the_o malignity_n of_o the_o drug_n and_o not_o the_o violence_n of_o the_o drug_n itself_o to_o be_v repress_v as_o some_o learned_a physician_n write_v that_o the_o poison_n of_o the_o plague_n be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n that_o its_o proper_a antidote_n be_v not_o yet_o find_v out_o therefore_o whatsoever_o thing_n be_v prescribe_v against_o the_o pestilential_a venom_n they_o do_v only_o corroborate_v the_o heart_n against_o the_o force_n of_o the_o morbificall_a cause_n hence_o the_o deceitfulness_n of_o the_o mountibank_n antidote_n may_v be_v observe_v and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o

which_o be_v many_o time_n very_o chargeable_a if_o the_o antidote_n be_v of_o any_o price_n antidote_n a_o way_n to_o try_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o antidote_n which_o as_o i_o have_v often_o observe_v with_o the_o ointment_n and_o balsam_n they_o sell_v but_o for_o twelve_o penny_n that_o the_o efficacy_n of_o it_o may_v be_v prove_v for_o here_o be_v a_o very_a gross_a deceit_n in_o that_o they_o do_v usual_o forearm_v themselves_o with_o the_o antidote_n of_o the_o shop_n against_o the_o violence_n of_o the_o poison_n this_o caution_n shall_v be_v observe_v let_v a_o dog_n be_v keep_v a_o whole_a night_n without_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o let_v neither_o milk_n nor_o any_o fat_a thing_n which_o may_v abate_v the_o strength_n of_o the_o poison_n be_v give_v he_o in_o the_o morning_n but_o give_v he_o some_o arsenic_n and_o after_o he_o have_v take_v it_o let_v he_o have_v as_o much_o of_o the_o antidote_n as_o the_o mountibank_n please_v and_o so_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o remedy_n shall_v be_v sufficient_o prove_v the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v concern_v man_n for_o they_o make_v experiment_n of_o the_o poison_n upon_o themselves_o and_o take_v it_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o people_n if_o they_o will_v take_v the_o poison_n with_o the_o forenamed_a caution_n have_v see_v the_o effect_n we_o will_v commend_v the_o remedy_n but_o they_o show_v themselves_o upon_o the_o stage_n for_o the_o most_o part_n after_o noon_n after_o meat_n and_o after_o the_o use_n of_o fat_a thing_n and_o such_o as_o do_v assuage_v the_o force_n of_o it_o as_o milk_n and_o perhaps_o of_o antidote_n for_o meat_n especial_o that_o which_o be_v fat_a and_o milk_n do_v strengthen_v the_o stomach_n and_o weaken_v the_o poison_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o they_o do_v then_o take_v it_o more_o bold_o which_o soon_o after_o they_o vomit_v forth_o at_o home_n and_o so_o all_o come_v to_o nothing_o there_o be_v another_o experiment_n of_o they_o which_o the_o people_n do_v very_o much_o admire_v the_o mountibank_n will_v apply_v a_o viper_n to_o his_o breast_n viper_n a_o deceit_n in_o their_o application_n of_o the_o viper_n about_o

deceit_n for_o first_o as_o matthiolus_n say_v these_o fellow_n have_v sundry_a way_n to_o tame_v their_o viper_n and_o serpent_n second_o the_o viper_n in_o england_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o temperature_n of_o the_o air_n be_v not_o so_o venomous_a as_o they_o be_v in_o hot_a country_n therefore_o galen_n give_v strict_a charge_n that_o in_o the_o composition_n of_o triacle_n the_o viper_n be_v not_o take_v in_o the_o height_n of_o summer_n which_o with_o they_o be_v excessive_o hot_a for_o then_o be_v they_o most_o full_a of_o venom_n but_o with_o we_o the_o viper_n be_v less_o

the_o venom_n be_v soon_o communicate_v to_o the_o heart_n if_o the_o venomous_a creature_n be_v apply_v to_o the_o breast_n because_o of_o the_o nearness_n of_o the_o heart_n but_o that_o be_v

and_o it_o be_v more_o probable_a that_o if_o the_o viper_n be_v apply_v to_o the_o foot_n which_o be_v far_a remote_a from_o the_o heart_n it_o will_v soon_o infect_v the_o heart_n than_o if_o to_o
