that_o begin_v to_o amend_v of_o themselves_o those_o that_o be_v infect_v with_o the_o pestilence_n in_o the_o beginning_n or_o first_o day_n thereof_o be_v take_v with_o a_o extraordinary_a cold_a

outward_o strong_a and_o strong_a so_o that_o there_o follow_v a_o great_a pain_n in_o the_o head_n and_o a_o difficulty_n of_o breathe_v superfluous_a sleep_n and_o sometime_o superfluous_a watch_n they_o grow_v frantic_a and_o lightheaded_a and_o they_o look_v very_o stare_o and_o if_o there_o do_v any_o swell_a appear_v under_o the_o ear_n arm_n cheek_n or_o groin_n and_o that_o these_o sign_n

give_v he_o a_o vomit_n or_o purge_v you_o shall_v strike_v the_o swell_n into_o the_o noble_a part_n and_o the_o sick_a shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o his_o life_n and_o if_o you_o let_v he_o
