certaine learned men which reckon that the hote breath or vapour that riseth up from the Bathe is much more mightier then the water of the bath is and it is true therefore it were well that they which have any Dropsie and especially a Tympanie should sit over such a place of the Bath that they might receive into the moyst diseased place the vapour of the bathe either by an holed stoole or by some other such like manner of thing well devised for that purpose If any poore man by the heate of the drynesse of the Bathe cannot sleepe enough let him eate Lettice or Purslaine or the seedes of Poppy called Chesbowle in some places of England or let him eate Suger and Poppy-seed together let this be done at night Hee may also if he cannot get the aforesaid things seethe Violet leaves and Mallowes and bathe the uttermost parts with that they are sodden in These are remedies for poore folke that are not able to have a Physitian with them to give them counsell Let the rich use such remedies as their Physitians shall counsell them If any poore man be vexed with any unsufferable thirst let him take a little Barley and seethe it long and put a little Suger unto it or let him take the juyce of an Orange or take a little of it with a little Suger If any poore man catch the Head-ache let him take a little Wormelade if he can get it or Coriander Comfits or if he can get none of these let him take the white of an Egge and beate it with Vineger and Rosewater or with the broath of Violets or Nightshade or with any of them and a little Vineger and lay them in a cloath unto the temples of his head and forehead If any poore man be burned too much let him take a Glister made with Mallowes Beetes and Violet leaves or let him seethe Prunes with Barley a good while and Raisins putting a way the stones and eate of them or let him use Suppositories sometimes made of rootes either of Beetes of Flower-de-Luce or of white Sope or of salt Bacon If any man sweat too much let him use colder meates than he used before with Vineger or Verjuyce and let them also eate Sheepes-feete and Calves-feete with Verjuyce or Vineger If any man have the burning of his water when he maketh it let him an houre after he is come out of the Bathe annoynt his Kidneyes with some cold Oyntment as is Infrigidus Galeni or if you cannot come by that let him seethe Violet leaves Poppy-heads Raisins Licorice and Mallowes together straine them and put some Suger in the broath and drinke of it a draught before Supper If any be troubled with the Rheume which he hath caught in the Bath let him parch or bristle at the fire Nigella Romana and hold it in a cloath to his Nose and let him set cups or boxing glasses to his shoulders without any scorching and let him drinke sodden water with Barley and with a little Suger If any man have any appetite to eate let him use the sirrups of Ribles or Barberies or the sirrup of unripe Grapes or use Verjuyce or Vineger to provoke appetite in due measure and now and then if ye can get it let him take a little Marmalade or of the sirrup of Mynts or Worm-wood Raman These have I written for poore folke Those that are rich by the advice of the Physitians may have other Remedies enough against the fore-named accidents that chance in the time of their bathing If thou be rid of thy disease by thy bathing offer unto Christ in thy pure members such offering of Thankesgiving as thou mayest spare and give him hearty thankes both in word minde and deed and sinne no more but walke in all kindnesse of life and honesty as farre as thou shalt be able to doe as long as thou shalt live hereafter But if thou be not healed the first time be patient and live vertuously till the next bathing time and then if it be to the glory of God and for the most profitable thou shalt the next bathing time be healed by the grace of God of whom commeth all health both of body and soule Some if they be not healed whilest they be in the bathing cry out both upon the Bath wâ—ich healeth many other of the same Diseases that they are sicke of and of the Physitian also that counselled them to goe to the Bathe such men must learne that they must not appoint God a time to heale them by the Bathe and that when as the Bath hath dryed up and washed by Sweating and made subtill through blowing the evill matter of the disease that it is one dayes worke or two to make good humours to occupie the place of such evill humours as have beene in them before Therefore let such be patient and for the space of a Moneth keepe the same dyet that they kept at the Bath and if God will they shall have their desire but not onely these but all others that are healed for a moneth at the least the longer the better must keepe the same dyet that they kept in the Bath as touching meate and drinke and if it be possible also from the use of all Women When as you goe homewards make but small Journeyes and beware of surfetting and of cold and when you are at home use measurable Exercise daily and honest mirth and pastime with honest company and beware of too much study or carefulnesse And give God thankes for all his Guifts Thus much for the Bath Of Herbes and Drugs
