for it is that which in the annointing performeth the action and without Mercurie there is nothing profitable in this disease ministred outwardlie but inwardlie there are manie noble remedies beside Quicksiluer which both in this and also in all other diseases are of great force so that the like hath not oft times been seene But because in this Booke we haue taken in hand to write onelie of the Pockes wee will therefore meddle with nothing but Mercurie In these two we will vse such dilligence that nothing shall be vnpossible for you to helpe in this disease if so be that you follow our counsaile Nowe to prepare your Mercurie that it may outwardlie be ministred without perrill to the Patient you shall take in Gods name of the earth wherin Mercurie groweth which is found in Dutch-land in the gold siluer Mines this earth is called in Dutch Berch ciuober of this earth you shal take the softest which is not yet hardened take twentie poundes thereof this you shall beate and put it into a Kettle poure fayre raine water thereto and let it seeth an howre long and the earth and the other filthinesse will seperate it selfe which you shall scumme off very cleane then that which remaineth in the Kettle you shall rub small and put it into a Cucurbit and sette it to distill vpon the fire with great heate according as I haue taught you in my Booke of Minerall distillations and you shall see a white iuyce arise like Milk And when you perceiue that it will drop no more then take that white iuyce and sette it alone to distill in Balneo marie and the moisture that is thereby will come alone and in the bottome of the Cucurbit there will remaine an Oyle as heauie in a manner as Quicke siluer the manner to distill by Balneo marie I haue shewed you sufficiently in my Booke of the distillation of Hearbes to which Booke I referre you for breuities sake The Oyle remaining in the bottome of the Cucurbit as afore said you shall take and vse to annoint withall as foloweth Take two ownces of the aforesaid Oyle and sixe ounces of Spike Oyle these you shall mingle together and warme them a little vpon the fire and therewith annoint the diseased parts of the Patient but those parts which are not diseased you shal not annoint therewith because it would doo more hurt then good for that there is no matter whereuppon they may worke and not finding other matter to worke vpon it would drie vppe the naturall moysture from those parts but the diseased parts you shall annoint as aforesaid in euery part or ioynt and if there be any holes or blaines you shall annoint those also in the euening when he goeth to bed and you shall couer him very warme that he may sweat and let him lye and sweat two houres long and he must not in any wise stirre himselfe because he may sweat the better the sayde time being expired you shall abate the clothes from of him and giue him warme cleane clothes that he may drie vp the sweate cleane in euery place and beeing well dryed take off his wette shirt and put him on a cleane shyrt well warmed then sette him by a good fire of Oken wood and dry his heade with warme clothes in the meane while make his bedde and lay on a payre of cleane sheetes well warmed then let him goe to bedde againe before it be colde but couer him not too warme but that he may sleepe quietly In the morning whē he awaketh you shall vse as you did in the euening to witte with fire and drying and béeing well dryed of his sweat you shall apparrell him and let him washe his hands and his face in warme water and then let him eate his meat which shall be such as heere followeth First he shall eate no Swines flesh nor no salted fleshe no Hares Conies Harts nor other venison nor no Cowes flesh nor no pottage but broth made of good Mutton sodden with Borage and a fewe Beetes and with a good deale of Bor●age other Pottage he shall eate none he shal eate good Mutton Hennes Partriges and all manner of wild foule excepting all water foules and all that seeke their liuing or swimme in the water for that their fleshe is ill to digest for a sicke man ingendering naughtie and mellancholie blood hee may also eate good young Beefe beeing newlie killed and not long salted but he must not eate much of it because it is hard of digestion for a weake stomack but of all other there is nothing better for such a Patient then good young Kiddes flesh that yet sucketh his damme with good Partriges and good young Hennes he shall not refuse to eate for that of all other meates they are best hee shall abstaine from Pepper and Ginger but in his meate he may vse Cinamon Cloues and such like also Nutmegges and Saffron he shall also abstaine from Onions Garlike Skallions and such like eyther rawe or sodden because they vexe the blood and inflame and dry vp the Liuer His drinke shall be good Renish wine tempered with water sodden with Annis seedes Barlie and Masticke of each as much as a Chestnut of this water hée shall take one part and of Wine two parts and hée shall drinke thereof vntill he be cured he shall keepe himselfe verie warme and out of the ayre within the house he shal kéepe the windowes and the doores shut this order he shall in all respects keepe with annointing sweating and diet vntil he be perfectly cured for if he do as is aforesaid he shal vndoubtedly by Gods helpe be cured although hee had it twentie yéeres if so be he haue not béen spoiled with other Medicines before Cap. 3. Of fumegation or smoking with correction of the abuse vsed therein THere is yet another way of curing the Pocks found out by practitioners for when they perceiued that of force they must vse Quicke siluer they tooke and killed it with Brimstone making Cinober thereof because it should not be knowne to be Quicke siluer for the common people perceiuing so manie to be spoiled and killed with Quicke siluer woulde not willinglie be cured therewith therefore because they might the better vse it without gainesaying of the Patient therefore they brought it into another forme vsing it also after another manner without any annointing because annointing was become odious to the Patient therfore they found out a deuice to perfume or smoke the Patient with the smoke of Cinober or Vermelion and so to cure him for they knew Quick siluer to be so subtill or piercing that they wold enforce it into the bodie at anie place through the pores or sweat holes And therfore they set the Patient vnder a Tent or Canopie naked with a Chafingdish of coales between his legges wherin they strowed the Cinober stopping him close round about the Patient then beginning to sweat the Mercurie with his whole substaunce creepeth into him in

to passe by the strength of the drink and it is a very good signe therefore let not the Patient be discomfited but let him reioyce because it is a certaine signe of health Capit. vj. Of madnesse or idlenesse of the head called Insania THis idlenes or madnesse in the head called in Latine Insania proceedeth of a certaine venimous humour or dampe ascending from the stomacke and the Liuer into the braines and because the braines through the infection of the Pockes or some such like cause is become weake and tender they are not able to repell or driue backe the sayde dampe or humour but remaine vanquished and ouercome of the same in such sort that they forget to doo their office going quite out of order so that the Patient hath no rule of him selfe but dooth and speaketh he knoweth not what To cure this disease as well that which proceedeth of the Pockes as otherwise excepting onelie when it commeth of or with a hote sharpe Ague because therein is great danger of death you may doo it with the drinke made of thys Wood without any impediment which must be prepared after this manner for such as are hote of complexion as the Chollericke and Sanguine are Take of this Wood beeing made very small one pounde fayre water eyght poundes which you must seeth as is aforesaide and giue him thereof euery morning and euening eyght ounces at a time cause him to sweat well and you must dry the sweat frō his head verie well because the disense lyeth altogether in the heade His diet and his drinke shall be as is mencioned in the former Chapter notwithstanding as litle as may be for in this disease much meate is very hurtfull and therfore he must be content with a little hee must drinke no Wine for that it is contrarie both to his disease and complexion because it ascendeth vp into the head he must drinke of his drinke alone as much as he will it must alwaies be a little warme Thus dooing he shall without doubt be cured by Gods helpe The Phlegmatick and the Mellancholicke must be thus cured TAke of this Wood one pound of Water foure pound of Wine two pounde this you must seeth as is aforesaide and giue him thereof euery day to drinke morning and euening eyght ounces at a time continuing the same vntill hee be cured And although in the beginning the Wine doe him no good yet you shall not leaue to vse the same still in hys drinke for that it is a notable Medicine for his complexion béeing measurablie vsed and therefore you shall seeth him his drinke as aforesaid and it shall in the end perfectly help him You may giue these Patients lesse meate then the Cholericke or Sanguine yet you shal not famish them and that principallie the Mellancholicke and hee shall also not sweat so long as those that are moist of complexion because hee is drie yet he must sweat at the least an howre and a halfe because the Phlegmaticke to sweat much more if he be able to endure it because that of his owne complexion hee is verie moyst and yet much more moist by reason of his disease Therefore it is verie good for him to sweats because it dryeth vp all such ouerplus moistnes and in the ende restoreth him to his health and his vnderstanding and driueth awais all nodes or tumors vpon his heade if he haue any and all open fores in any place of the bodie shall by vertue of thys drink be healed within the fortie daies and therefore let him not refuse to vse it Héere is to be obserued that such Patients as are idle headed shall not in any wise goe abroade till such time as they are perfectlie cured but shall remaine at home in their Chamber keeping them as quiet as is possible for rest is very good and profitable for them If you obserue this order before shewed the Patient shall vndoubtedlie be cured if God will Capit. 7.
