Hour but Col. Cornwel's Man knockt at the Door and desired to speak with me When he came to me he told me Mr. Turner was much worse than when I left him that Dr. Fry was discharged and he begged me that I would come down again to him for that he would take nothing more from any one but what I should direct Upon which I got a Calash and four Horses as soon as possibly I could and went down again I got to Winchington on Thursday about twelve a Clock and when I came there I found the poor Gentleman in the most profuse Sweat imaginable his Breath short to the last degree and almost no Pulse at all But the Pain in his Side was gone which his Lady who was then with him and those about him took for a good Sign But I told them that his Shortness of Breath continuing and his Pulse being so very low it was rather a bad one and that he was in a most deplorable condition and I appeal to every one of my Lord Wharton's Family who askt me how he did whether I once gave them the least Encouragement to believe that he would recover His Shirt that he had upon him was as wet as if it had been dipt in a River and as cold as Ice and so were both the Sheets therefore the first thing I did was to free him from this cold wet Linen in order to which I got as large a Fire made in the next Room as the Chimney would bear I then set a Shirt and a pair of Sheets that had been before used to be well aired and heated in the mean time his Lady and her Maid with hot Napkins rubbed him and made him as dry as they could after which with all the Caution imaginable we put on a hot dry Shirt and took away the cold wet Sheets and put those that we had well heated and aired in their room This matter just as I have related it I can have sufficiently attested altho it be positively said about the Town that I took him out of the Sweat and put him on clean Linen without airing it at the Fire at all He being prodigiously thirsty begged of me that I would give him something that might allay it upon which I ordered them to make him a Mixture of four Parts small Beer one Part VVhite-wine some Juice of Lemons to make it grateful and to sweeten it with Loaf-sugar and he being a great Lover of Nutmeg desired that a little of it might be grated into it which considering the Stupidness in his Head I agreed to Of this Liquor I allowed him to drink as plentifully as he pleased considering the Profuseness of the Sweats he had had I durst not then venture to bleed him altho his Fever was as violent as ever But to the Apothecaries I prescribed as follows For Mr. Turner Sept. 2d 1697. ℞ Oximel simp Unc. quatuor Aq.

This last Electuary was for Mr. Turner's Man who had sate up several Nights and complained of a great inward Heat and Costiveness but however because it was inserted in a Bill with Mr. Turner's Name to it I thought it convenient to take notice of it tho it is no Poison and if Mr. Turner had taken it himself it would not have murdered him The forementioned things with Directions were taken as directed and as to those for the use of which there was no Direction given I shall here give an account how they were taken Once in about two Hours I mixt half a Spoonful of the Oximel of Squils in a small quantity of the Apozem and gave it him Of the dulcified Spirit of Nitre I gave him ten Drops in almost every Draught of Liquor he drank As for the Flea Bean and Quince seeds I had one half of them boil'd in two Quarts of VVater to the Consumption of one half and of this mulaginous Decoction I now and then gave him a good Draught it being a great Promoter of Expectoration In the House I got made up a Lambative of fine salad Oil and Syrup of Vinegar and of this I sometimes gave him a Spoonful But all I could do availed nothing I could by no artifice make him expectorate in any quantity only sometimes he would discharge a green putrid Matter He continued to be short breathed to extremity his Fever no whit abated his Pulse low and irregular and sometimes would totally intermit for two or three seconds with a Stupidness in his Head About nine a Clock he again broke out into a most profuse Sweat which I did by no means like at which time I laid me down upon a Field Bed that was in the Room to sleep choosing rather to lie so than go to bed that I might be the more ready to be called upon occasion but having travelled near sixscore Miles in three days and been two Nights upon the Road I was very sleepy About eleven a Clock my Lord VVharton called Madam Turner into the next Room to consult about sending for Dr. Babo she left his Man sitting upon the Bed by him I being fast asleep upon the Field Bed Whilst Madam Turner was in the next Room with my Lord VVharton Mr. Turner in the midst of this profuse Sweat leaps out of the Bed and walkt round it to the Close-stool without any thing but his Shirt upon him Madam Turner hearing some body walk in the Room barefoot run in to see what was the mattter and found him in this posture she was immediately followed by my Lord VVharton and some others as soon as Madam Turner came in I awaked and got up to help her to get him into the Bed When he was put into Bed he laid himself into a Posture out of which he never moved till he died which was within a very few Hours Whether this last getting out of the Bed was a shortning of his Lise I cannot be positive but it is very probable it might It is to be observed that the Night before about eleven a Clock he was in such extreme Agonies that
