pestilence_n come_v of_o the_o air_n therefore_o so_o soon_o as_o one_o be_v blast_v with_o the_o pestiferous_a air_n after_o he_o have_v take_v some_o preseruative_n against_o the_o malignity_n thereof_o he_o must_v withdraw_v himself_o into_o some_o wholesome_a air_n that_o be_v clean_a and_o pure_a from_o any_o venomous_a infection_n or_o contagion_n for_o there_o be_v great_a hope_n of_o health_n by_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o air_n for_o we_o do_v most_o frequent_o and_o abundant_o draw_v in_o the_o air_n of_o all_o thing_n so_o that_o we_o can_v want_v it_o for_o a_o minute_n of_o time_n therefore_o of_o the_o air_n that_o be_v draw_v in_o depend_v the_o correction_n amendment_n or_o increase_v of_o the_o poison_n or_o malignity_n that_o be_v receive_v as_o the_o air_n be_v pure_a sincere_a or_o corrupt_v there_o be_v some_o that_o do_v think_v it_o good_a to_o shut_v the_o patient_n in_o a_o close_a chamber_n shut_v the_o window_n to_o prohibit_v the_o entrance_n of_o the_o air_n as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v able_a but_o i_o think_v it_o more_o convenient_a that_o those_o window_n shall_v be_v open_a from_o whence_o that_o wind_n blow_v that_o be_v direct_o contrary_a unto_o that_o which_o bring_v in_o the_o venomous_a air_n for_o although_o there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n yet_o if_o the_o air_n be_v not_o move_v or_o agitate_a but_o shut_v up_o in_o a_o close_a place_n it_o will_v soon_o be_v corrupt_v therefore_o in_o a_o close_a and_o quiet_a place_n that_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o entrance_n of_o the_o air_n i_o will_v wish_v the_o patient_n to_o make_v wind_n or_o to_o procure_v air_n with_o a_o thick_a and_o great_a cloth_n dip_v or_o macerate_v in_o water_n and_o vinegar_n mix_v together_o and_o tie_v to_o a_o long_a staff_n that_o by_o toss_v it_o up_o and_o down_o the_o close_a chamber_n the_o wind_n or_o air_n thereof_o may_v cool_v and_o recreate_v the_o patient_n the_o patient_n must_v every_o day_n be_v carry_v into_o a_o fresh_a chamber_n and_o the_o bed_n and_o the_o linen_n clothes_n must_v be_v change_v there_o must_v always_o be_v a_o clear_a and_o bright_a fire_n in_o the_o patient_n chamber_n and_o especial_o in_o the_o night_n whereby_o the_o air_n may_v be_v make_v more_o pure_a clean_a and_o void_a of_o nightly_a vapour_n and_o of_o the_o filthy_a and_o pestilent_a breath_n proceed_v from_o the_o patient_n or_o his_o excrement_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n lest_o if_o it_o be_v in_o hot_a weather_n the_o patient_n shall_v be_v weaken_v or_o make_v more_o faint_a by_o reason_n that_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o fire_n do_v disperse_v and_o waste_v his_o spirit_n the_o floor_n or_o ground_n of_o the_o chamber_n must_v be_v sprinkle_v or_o water_v with_o vinegar_n and_o water_n or_o strew_v with_o the_o branch_n of_o vine_n make_v moist_a in_o cold_a water_n with_o the_o leave_n and_o flower_n of_o water_n lilly_n or_o poplar_n or_o such_o like_a in_o the_o fervent_a heat_n of_o summer_n he_o must_v abstain_v from_o strong_a fumigation_n that_o do_v smell_v too_o strong_o because_o that_o by_o assault_v the_o head_n they_o increase_v the_o pain_n if_o the_o patient_n can_v go_v to_o that_o cost_n it_o be_v good_a to_o hang_v all_o the_o chamber_n where_o he_o lie_v and_o also_o the_o bed_n with_o thick_a or_o coarse_a linen_n clothes_n moist_a in_o vinegar_n and_o water_n of_o rose_n those_o linen_n clothes_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v very_o white_a but_o something_o brown_a because_o much_o and_o great_a whiteness_n do_v disperse_v the_o sight_n and_o by_o waste_v the_o spirit_n do_v increase_v the_o pain_n of_o the_o head_n for_o which_o cause_n also_o the_o chamber_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v very_o lightsome_a contrariwise_o on_o the_o night_n season_n there_o
