Gilloflowers of Wood sorrel Lemons Violets and such like for his meate you may boile a Chick with Sorrel the juice of Lemons and Burrage-flowers or Marigold-flowers are very good also you may dissolve a little Saffron in his Vineger to dip his meat in it but let the Saffron be very finely poudered or tyed in a linnen cloth as Saffron is a Cordinal so if much be taken it hurteth Many other cordial

unto Mariners at sea by feeding upon salt Beefe Bacon salt Fish and evil water pulse and worm-eaten bread which cannot be avoided at Sea this Feavor is known by feeling the outward meÌ„bers cold those within as the Pestilence sleepy and heavie the pulse very low This Feavor bringeth death in 24 hours many times if not speedily prevented furthermore you shal perceive the Patient as it were distracted ready to leap into the Sea sometimes vomit the tongue white underneath and black at the top cold sweats cramps with many other accidents like as in the pestilence For the cure thereof if the patient be able to endure Flebothomy open a vein in the arme if he complain most in the head cut the veine called Cephalia if at the chest the Basilicke vein remove the sick into a fresh room make a fire in it first then put out the fire and refresh the room with sweet waters or what else may be had at the Sea if at Land cast Rushes in the Roome and green Boughs if the Aire be hot misty and moist shut the windowes if clear and pure let in the fresh Aire to comfort the heart At the first you must not let the sick sleep overmuch that will draw the venome to the heart until it is defended by giving cordials such as is prescribed before in the chapter of the Pestilence his dyet must be Broth made with cordial Flowers and a little Saffron tyed in a cloth after the third day you may give crums of Bread in his Broth for the cure if time wil permit give him a Glister before letting blood in this manner make your decoction with cordial flowers after boyling dissolve into it Diascordium

drinke the Whay continually as you thirst I have proved it of good effect And when he hath recovered a little strength and the venome expelled from the heart let him be purged with this Potion Rec. a
