good remedie as we see dayly death followeth Now it followeth that I teach the way or meanes to cure such in whom the botch appeareth which God assisting me I will doe The way or meanes to cure such in whom the botch appeareth This sicknesse the pestilence is a fierce swift and dangerous disease and verie quickly destroyeth nature therefore I counsell all men againe to vse at the first some spéedie helpe for giuing it sufferance but a little time it resisteth all cure neither is it in humaine power to helpe it as we dayly see Héere I cannot but lament the follie of manie people who neglect the vse of good means in time Some foolishly conceited that physicke can do them no good Some other vsing some light and trifling medicine to no purpose some other vsing none at all standing vnto the mercy of the sicknesse which is mercilesse and thus manie perish daily not perish neither therein I saide not well Beati mortui qui in domino moriuntur Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord. God giue vnto vs his grace that wee may learne to contemne this vaine world and be ready when he doth call and while we liue here to vse thankfully his good creatures vnto his glory and our comfort Now vnto the cure of the pestilence which is my purpose When any person féeleth himself infected and that the sore beginneth to arise or appeare if the sicknesse begin hote and that he feeleth in himselfe anie great heate aboue nature being of a sanguine or cholericke complexion strong and bloud any thing abounding then would I haue that person with spéede let bloud if it be within twentie foure houres of his sickening and that the sore or botch be not yet in way of ripening but newly risen For you must note that blood is to be taken at the beginning of the sicknesse and before the botch be growing to suppuration or not at all For at this time the botch hauing béene forth and growing to suppuration you should greatly hinder nature and weaken the person and indanger his life But in the beginning of the sicknesse it is a speciall good thing in all persons in whom bloud doth abound But these persons I doe except women with child or lately deliuered old men that grow towards thréescore and children also weake féeble persons wherin is Cacochymia and little bloud these persons may not bléed but must receiue some medicine before set downe for the cure of the pestilence and sweate therwith and take cordials as I will shew them But such as may bléede must obserue this rule in bléeding according vnto the place where the sore or botch is placed or appearing If the sore or botch appeare in the throate necke or vnder the eares then open the head vaine Cephalica in the arme on that side whereon the sore or botch is And if the sore or botch arise in the armepit then open the vaine mediana which is betwéene the head vaine and the vaine comming from the liuer If the sore or botch arise in the flancke then open the vaine Saphena in the inner side of the foote alway remembring this note that you let blood on that side whereon the botch appeareth For on the contrary side it is dangerous and euill drawing the venome ouerthwart the spiritual members to the great danger of the patient The quantity must be according vnto the strength of the patient in those that be young strong and full of bloud it is good to take much away and in others according vnto their abilitie of body And in this time of necessitie when it may not be deferd you must neither regard time neither signe nor aspect or coniunction of Planets but in the name of God do it Quouis tempore hora mittere sanguinem necessitas concedit iubet two houres delay in bléeding may be the cause of death This being done or not done in those persons aboue named who may not bléede let there be giuen vnto the sicke person of one of the medicines set downe for the cure of the plague before in this booke and procure the sicke to sweate well which if they cannot spéedily do then you may vse the meanes before taught with bottles whereby a sweate shall spéedily be brought forth and let the patient endure it as long as he is able And remember that you kéepe the sicke from sléepe in his sweat and fiue or sixe houres after if he be very faint giue him of one of the cordiall confections to eate of sometime and if he be so thirstie that hee must néedes drinke then giue him of the sirrup set downe in this booke for that purpose But you ought not in any wise to giue him drinke after his medicine vntill he hath sweat well and that which you giue him must bee warme and comfortable And hauing sweat well dry his body with warme and soft clothes and so let him rest kéeping him from sléepe Within two houres giue him some good broth to eat made with a chicken in which broth boile a little whole mace dates raisins of the sunne Endiue Borage Buglosse rings or some péeces of gold Let him haue oftentimes to eate of one of the cordiall confections set down in this booke and let his drinke be the first day Betonie water Scabious and Borage water of each of them halfe a pinte boiled a little with sugar and whole mace After you may giue him ale if not strong boiled with Mace and sugar Let his meate be chickens capon rabbet yong mutton or veale and let him vse orenges limons pomegranets graines of paradise and all thing that doth comfort the heart and coole You must perfume the chamber oftentimes in the day with the perfumes set downe in this booke which will purge the aire of the chamber and sprinkle the floore of the chamber with good vinegar and giue him to smell vnto oftentimes a cloth wet in rose vinegar Now must the sore or botch be looked vnto And to ripen and bring it to suppuration you shall find medicines set downe in this booke If the sore do arise néere the heart I haue set downe meanes to defend the heart and to drawe the sore or botch further off or if the botch appeare in the throte then likwise draw it further for feare of suffocation or choking the patient If watching or rauing trouble him I haue set downe meanes to helpe it If thirst and drinesse vexe him I haue set downe comfortable sirrupes to remedie it or whatsoeuer he shall néed in this cure if aduisedly you follow my direction The patient ought to change his chamber sometimes and to vse often the perfumes before set down and to kéepe the house all the time of his sicknes vntill his sore be well changing himselfe in fresh apparell well aired and persumed before And those that are about him must haue care of themselues and eate daily
