said of some children in whom excesse of raging dulnes craftines wantonnesse dropsie leprosie phrensie doe raigne while my parents slept and were not watchfull to purge their natures the enemie the malignant matter caused these tares of bad fruit to be sowne in me which except grace doe gouerne will exceede so as there will be little hope of any good fruit of me because my soyle is natural to bring forth bad fruit being thus caused by my parents quod natura mihi dedit aliernari nequeat except Gods holy angel watch ouer me and with the blast or breath of the holy spirit winnow away my corruption Now therfore it behooueth parents to be no lesse carefull to purge and make cleane their bodies from hurtfull humours the causes of ill effects then the husbandman hath to purge and cleanse his feede If we haue a trespasse or misdemeanour done in our goods or houses we seeke to amend it but if bad humours doe hazard our bodies and aduenture our bodies to bring forth bad fruit or infruitles before our time hazard death we deferre the ordinarie meanes disaduantaging nature and art her minister carelessely cutting off the number of our daies which God hath numbred in his fore-knowledge and by mediate meanes to be continued with our great care because he first cared for vs and daily continueth the same CHAP. 2. THe law of nature calleth for a speciall care and regard to preserue euery member in order for if shee be distempered in the least the principall members are disquieted and consequently the whole bodie then what speciall care ought man to haue in preseruing the naturall vitall and animall members the cause of increasing liuing moouing continuing and beeing not onely in office and dutie one for an other but all of them for man and man for his maker Many are not onely carelesse to helpe nature in her order but by excesse daily doe hurt her in themselues and others God hath giuen her to thee for thee in thee and with thee to continue his appointed time and hath made her a meanes to entertaine strength wisdome knowledge learning delights and pleasures all which doe lurke if shee doe lower all which doe leaue to be if shee be not to liue beeing the naturall life of man Iob. 34. v. 14. and in Levit. 17. v. 14. shee is called a spirit the next worthiest vnto the soule in the seruice of God thereupon it is said in the Psalme My soule doth magnifie the Lord and my spirit hath reioyced in God my Sauiour This spirit which is the vapour of blood and becommeth vitall and animall is the cage wherein the soule mooueth the liuer heart and head are the principall regions from whence the spirit into all other members and parts doe passe with the soules power and effect either good or bad so that no member neither the spirit not the soule can say to either thou diddest this wickednes or goodnesse without me and therefore must receiue alike Now then for the excellencie of natures order pollute her not distemper her not but indeauour to continue her as God hath framed and ordained meanes for her CHAP. 3. THe law of man requireth of thee to consider and indeuour to preserue thy body in conuenient order for the stipend it alloweth for him that murdereth himselfe is base regarded and vnreuerent vsage of the corps by markes vpon their graues in void and vild places besides the losse of goods from wife children Let men therefore take heede least by their negligence wilfulnes or couetuousnes they be not guiltie thereof before God and in their consciences and so be preuented of their continuall ioy for preuenting the Lords purpose heare a litle while which is to haue a man to liue the number of his daies in holines towards him and in dutifulnes to dispatch what God himselfe what king countrie and parents plead for which they cannot doe that wilfully will take the meanes to shorten their daies or negligently omit the meanes to hable them to recouer to continue their daies Thou art not only iniured either by taking the foresaide meanes or likewise omitting the meanes but God the parents king and countrie may be iniured for great might be the glory which God might gayne by the rest of thy daies much might be the ioy and comfort to thy parents king and countrie therefore shorten not thy daies wilfully neither omit the meanes whereby there may be hope to redeeme what wilfullie or negligently thou hast hazarded to loose of thy appoynted time Furthermore man is not onely charged with this watchfulnes and care ouer himselfe but he is charged with a care ouer others especially ouer such as he hath charge for if thou knowest the meanes to helpe to continue the number of anothers daies and be hable thereunto thou must indeauour to doe it because thou must doe as thou would be done vnto and also hope of some of the fruites before named to come from that body nay office and dutie driueth euery one to helpe others from sicknes soares or dangers Art not thou which art a master or superiour bound to greeue for thy seruant and to releeue thy seruant or inferiour languishing and yet labouring about thy busines art not thou inferiour likewise bound to greiue and indeauour to releiue thy superiour languishing and yet counsayling and caring for thee Now therefore let superiour and inferiour indeauour to continue the number of their daies which to God as I said is certainly knowne and to man vncertaine yet men must certainely knowe that it is the ordinance of god then not to be resisted but in others as well as in our selues to be continued by our best indeuours because we are members one of another and therefore ought sensiblie to feele ech others greife and passion CHAP. 4. THe soule crieth vnto thee to correct bad humours and not admit them to raigne for when she would be gentle mild and patient the excesse of choller constrayneth to rage and reuenge when she would watch and pray the excesse of phlegme causeth sleepines and dulnes likewise the excesse of other humours or the confounding of humours worketh effectes more vnkindly against the soule for whatsoeuer is of the flesh is oppugnant to the spirit or soule vntill it hath conuerted it to bring forth together the fruits of the flesh which are badges not onely of an vnregenerate man but of a miscreant in soule and bodie Seeing then the lawe of God thy owne soule nature the law of man parents king and country commaund and call vnto thee to endeuour to preserue thy bodie by the almightie his meanes left vnto the and by his meanes to correct excesse of bad humours and to amend their confusion least they here confounding soule conscience and vnderstanding god at thy first death confounde thy soule and in the last generall iudgement thy confounded soule carry thy flesh vnto the place of confusion Therefore it is most necessarie for thee

WHereas the beginner and preseruer of all things in his word doth will vs to consider his creatures euen to the least Ecclus. 42. v. 22. Oh how delectable are all his workes and to be considered euen vnto the sparks of fire and to praise him without beeing wearie Ecclus chap. 43. v. 30. then how much more ought men daily with chearefulnes and diligence consider and regard the wonderfull order of himselfe euen vnto the least and basest member or part which is of more estimation then a thousand sparkes of fire and more to be wondred at then any one element because it consisteth most wonderfully of all the elements and is that for which they all and all other things were made and ordained Then seeing there is no earthly thing that man should more regard and consider then himselfe what meanes should any man thinke to be too much to preserue this rare and wonderfull order of man in conuenient comely and healthfull manner May not they be suspected for murtherers of themselues which for idlenes will not seeke for sparing cost care not to seeke which vpon malitious stomacke and brasen courage contemne to seeke in time the meanes the Lord hath left to preserue and continue that wonderfull matter of man in conuenient order Vnto these it happeneth most commonly when extremitie of sicknes hath entred their castle and ruine beginne to rush in then none more diligent none more liberall none more calme and tractable when all labour cost willingnes and paines cannot preuaile May not they be suspected of murther who knowing a place infected with the pestilence will presume to enter either by reason of intemperancie not fearing or for gaine giue the aduenture May not they likewise be suspected of murther which knowing their houses infected not indeauour to vse the ordinarie meanes either to shut it vp and to flie from it citò longè tardè or necessitie constraining to tarrie then and there to seeke the best meanes they may May not they be condemned for murtherers which hauing plague soares will presse into companies to infect others or wilfully pollute the ayre or other meanes which others are daily to vse and liue by The word of God commanded the leper to haue his head bare a couering for his lippes his garments burnt and to crie I am vncleane I am vncleane Leuit. 13.45 to the ende he should be knowne and not infect the ayre with his breath then how much more ought they to note themselues by especiall signes and to keepe them from infecting the ayre hauing soares much more readie to infect then any other disease Furthermore if man will not be carefull and consider this wonderfull order of his bodie because he knoweth that it must perish he must know that he must neither appoint nor preuent the time beside he must know that it is the cage of his soule which must liue for euer therefore in honour of that beeing the image of God keepe the cage as cleane as he can neither breake or dissolue the same least his soule as an vntimely bird flie vnto the hill No bodie polluted with grosse humours either with excesse or defect of any humour but it is more apt to grieue the soule defile the soule and offend the creatour of bodie and soule Doth not excesse of choller cause men to rage of phlegme to be dull sleepie of melancholie to phrensie and subtiltie of blood to wantonnesse then perilous is the state of the bodie whose spirits are possessed with the infection a propagation many times to despaire and to forget all dutie without Gods especiall grace Is not he a simple man which will entertaine a daily aduersarie to dwell with him which they doe that admit bad humours to haue domination in them violating nature or altering her so as shee is compelled to bring forth fruit like vnto her changed state that it may be

the braine the which are hinderers of smelling CHAP. 18. The complexion aptest to be infected is the sanguine first because the qualities in that complexion are like vnto the qualities in the ayre hot and moist and therefore doth entertaine the ayre the apter Secondly because these two qualities in this complexion maketh it more conuertible like the ayre which will sooner be made hotter or moister then any of the other elements Thirdly because in this complexion the passages leading to the humours about the heart and to the vitall spirits in the heart are more large and spatious then in any other The reason is for that blood naturall is not without his vapours which cause motion and where most motion of blood is there is cause of extention and the same is in this complexion CHAP. 19. The aptest time for this complexion to entertaine the virulent matter into the humours is in the former spring especially for then blood increaseth and passeth vp and downe beeing not thoroughly refined and made the readier by his motion and impuritie to receiue it The aptest time for this complexion to entertaine the virulent matter into the spirits vitall is sommer by reason that the blood beeing made hot and the spirits likewise hot and ayre continually heating CHAP. 20. This complexion may take the infection although not at the nostrills or mouth yet it may take it at the emunctorie places and at the pores in the skin in other places which are more large and readier to be opened then in the other complexions CHAP. 21. The signes shewing this complexion Visage white and ruddie most redde in the cheekes eyes orderly placed yet somewhat large ofttimes vaines blew and full pulse full and great vrine plentie redde and ofttimes grosse seege and sweat exceeding digestion perfect apt to bleeding and sleeping willing to mooue yet abstaining from motion by reason of heate and sweating subiect to dreame of bloodie things and amorous toyes affable affectionate yet to be remooued well spoken chaungeable in opinion apt to haue the yellow iaundes heat vnder the lites at the heart and raines stitch in the right side subiect to the chollicke and then the hands and face will be full of srecks in many a one of meane stature and comely for the most part a louer of musicke and wines effeminate beard large and comely delightfull in himselfe a louer of companie and conuertible with them merrie for the most part haire of colour red or yellowish subiect to the feuer called Synocham This complexion hauing taken the infection in the humors about the heart in the emunctorie places or at the pores in the skin beeing come vnto the blood may best of any complexion haue a vaine opened CHAP. 22. IF this complection or any other haue the blood infected the vaines will be blackish and not so full as before in health for that the good blood flyeth inward to the sediment from the infection and there remaineth subiect to infection by little and little as it goeth outward or as the other runneth inward the liuer will be worse in this complection and consequently digestion imperfect the body hot all ouer more then in other complections because blood infected hath larger passage then in other complections For asmuch as good blood is not without good vapour and both of them cause of vitall spirit and that cause of the animall spirits by which two man liueth and mooueth and is made more hable to resist the virulent matter of pestilence therefore it behooueth euery complection to clense his blood purge it from humours hurtfull vnto it which these receipts following by Gods helpe will performe CHAP. 23. TAke of cassia new extracted one ounce of hony halfe an ounce of sugar two drammes infuse these seuen or eight howers in fowre ounces of borrage water and sower ounces of violet or endiue water if you can get a fingerfull of liuerwoort and first bruise it a little then infuse it with the cassia it will be very proper especially if it be in sommer then strayne all together and drinke of it euery morning fasting three howers before meate the quantitie of two or three ounces vntill you feele your blood reasonable cooled and the stomack not impayred CHAP. 24. IF this complection doth learne or perceiue that choller raigneth in the blood then let them take the quantitie of Cassia hony and sugar before mentioned and of Rhubarbe three drāmes of the sweete rush called squinant one drāme pound them all gross then infuse them seauen or eight howers in seauen ounces of water of endiue or cichorie or for want of these in the decoction florum fructum to the which put of syrupe of roses laxatiue and of syrrupe of violets of either halfe an ounce take it two mornings or three together warme it a little before you take it take it somewhat colder then blood-warme CHAP. 25. IF this complexion doth spie that phlegme be mixt with the blood then let him take of Turbith or Agaricke two drammes ginger two scruples and pound them gross or slice them thin and infuse it with halfe an ounce of Cassia and an ounce of hony if it be in winter at other times take as much cassia as hony and infuse all together in eight or nine ounces of sweete wine or Oximell that is one part vineger twyse so much hony foure times so much water boyled vntill the third part be wasted and cleane skimmed take this two mornings fasting CHAP. 26. IF melancholie raygne take of cassia and hony one ounce of polypody one dramme a scruple and a halfe of ginger cut the polypody and ginger very thin and infuse them altogether in six or seauen ounces of fumitory water eight howers then strayne them and drinke it warme fasting two mornings together when you take any of these you must sit a quarter of an hower thē walke as long then lie vpon your right side then vpon your left as long that done then sit vp tight halfe an hower after that walke and sit at your pleasure in your chamber CHAP. 27. Hauing cleansed your blood and auoided the bad humours which most annoy you which is meete to be done in euery one once a yeare in many twise in the former and latter spring and in some oftener then will your blood and spirits be lesse capable of the infection and better hable to expell it hauing taken it and so much the lesse capable and hable by how much you shall be carefull to vse these receiptes following best fitting for your complexion CHAP. 28. FIrst a receipt very proper to be taken not onely as a defensatiue euery morning fasting but for your resolution to knowe whether you be infected for then you will vomite or at least be very full and desirous to vomite by reason of the contrarietie of the qualities in these substances the virulent heate in your owne substance Send vnto the Apothecaries billes made as followeth R.
