The fourth in giuing and administring of Antidots Alexipharmacon and other preseruatiues against venomous and contagious ayres with the office of the Chirurgian for Phlebotomy bloud letring maturation extraction and healing of Carbuncles For preseruatiue against the Pestilence they must be such as haue faculty of resisting putrifaction and euen presently from the beginning those bodies as I haue before said which are humid moyst must be by all possible meanes that may be made dry and those that are dry must be kept preserued But in those bodies that doe abound with corrupt rotten hurtfull humours it shall be needefull for them before infection to vse purgation and bloud letting by aduice of the skilfull and learned Phisition And whereas the Phisition in other feuers are accustomed to vse a longer processe that is to say by preparing the body by digesting of humours offending and last of all by euacuation and purging out of the same in this cruell disease which will not ad pacis conditiones descendere that is indure no daliance or delay we must flie foorthwith vnto the cure and remedies for the same And for because it seldome hapneth that persons which are infected with the pestilence are visited with the Phisitiō or Chirurgiō wherby many wāt cure remedie which liue recouer I am therefore determined by Gods assistance to set downe such meanes and remedies as shall be profitable to all those that shall haue neede to vse the same And first of all for preseruatiue before the body be infected may be vsed this following Take Oxysaccharum Syrupe of Sorrell Oxymel Symplex of either of them halfe an ounce Waters of Endiue Scabios Carduus benedictus of either one ounce Let all these be mixt togither and taken in the morning fasting and so continue it euery other day day during the time of the Pestilence Pils for the resisting of the Pestilence Take Aloes elect one ounce Myrrhe Safferne of either ii Dragons Agarick prepared Rhubarbe elect of either so much Camphere 1.

dramme and mixe them together and thereof take euery morning fasting vppon the point of a knife often times in the day I omit to speake of the Vnicornes Horne and Bezars stone because their value is so great and the graine held at so deare a rate onely I aduise euery man that will seeke the preseruation of his owne health to keepe their houses sweete and cleane vsing in their common roomes not onely fiers in the chimneyes but also in earthen pans with perfumes and sweete vapours which be not onely pleasant to the sences but also haue propertie to cleanse and purifie the ayre such as is Rose vineger red Rose water lignum Aloes Olibanum Bengimin Storax Calamint Juniper Buris with the wood and such like Besides to be carefull not to be much out of their owne doores before the Sumre haue beene vp for two houres space or after it is set and gone downe And thus much briefely by way of precaution and preseruatiue before infection Now it resteth to describe the cure of the Pestilence after infection according to the practise and cures of Phisicke Of the cure of the Pestilence VVE haue already set downe in briefe manner precautions and preseruatiues against the Pestilence Now if it happen any man to be infected let him presently with all the speed that possible may be take two drams of this powder following in halfe a draught of good white wine Take Tormentil of either 1. dram Dictamni of either 1. dram Zedoari of either 1. dram The roote of Gentian Of the roote Carlinae Of the roote Verbascus dried in the shade and powdered of either 1. dragme Make all these into fine powder and as soone as it may be let the patient that is infected take 2. dragmes in halfe a draught of good white wine then let him goe into his bed be couered warme with cloathes that he may sweate throughly And to the entent he may sweate the sooner you may put into the bed earthen bottles filled with hot water and so let him sweate for the space of two or three houres keeping him from sleepe and drinke all that while In like manner this powder may be vsed Take the rootes of Pimpinella Of Tormentil Of Cinamon of either 1. ounce Lignum aloes Greeke mynts of either 2. ounces Iuniper berries Narde seede of either so much Make all into fine powder and mixe 2. drams thereof with Andromachus treacle and of choyse Mithradat of either halfe an ounce with halfe an ounce of Sirup de ribes and giue thereof at one time a dragme or better so prouoke him to sweat as aforesaid if you adde to euery dragme or dos 6. graynes of Bezars stone you shal see a maruailous effect for it resisteth the Pestilence and all maner of venome An other electuarie to be taken after infection Take Bolearmonick washed in red rosewater Two Dragmes Terrae Sigillatae Red Coral of either 1. dragme Of the Citren rinde Zedoarie Safferne of either halfe a dragme Suger rosat of red roses 6. ounces Syrupus acetositatis citri 10. ounces Let all be made into fine powder and make an electuarie of this electuarie the patient shall take one dram and of Andromachas treacle so much and mixe them together and receiue all presently at one Dose and drinke presently after a draught of Scabios water or sorrell water with a little of vineger of roses or take the foresaid treacle and electuarie and mixe it with the water and so drinke it presently prouoking sweate as aforesaid And thus much I thinke to be sufficient at this time as concerning this cruell disease of the Pestilence I know much more may be written but for as much as I promised to auoyde prolixitie I will end onely with aduice vnto such Chirurgious as shall be called or shall aduenture themselues to the cure of this so daungerous a sicknesse The chiefe matter belonging to the Chirurgian is blood letting extraction and maturation of Carbuncles and Apostumes as for blood-letting let not the Chirurgian draw so much foorth as may be an occasion of fainting or sowning to the patient but let him draw foorth blood by degrees and iterate the same as if the patient bleed in the morning 5. ounces he may bleed at three of the clocke in the after noone 3. ounces more and so againe the next morning if neede shall require And this is to be noted that this blood letting is to be vsed at the beginning of infection and not otherwise prouided alwaies that there with some one or other of this Antidots or electuaries before declared be vsed And whereas I haue obserued that the patient infected with this disease hauing absessus tumor or Carbuncle arising either in the groyne Armeholes or vnder the eares or in some emunctuarie or clensing place of the body weyting the suppuration and ripening of the same either by nature or medicine they haue dyed which if the Chirurgian would either by extirpation or incision with present application of some ripening and attractiue plaster nature would thereby be eased the venomous and corrupt vapours by nature expelled for nature being weake and not able to expell the venome fast enough if by insensible transpiration the venome returneth backe to the hart and so presently destroyeth nature But if the Chirurgian or the patient himselfe doe follow my aduise he shall presently either with incision knife or other instrument remooue that turnor where nature may haue way made to expell that venomous and corrupt matter which is noysome vnto it And thus by the grace of God and his blessing whosoeuer shall follow the foresaid precepts and rules shall preserue both himselfe and his familie from the Pestilence And I beseech the Almightie to hold his holy hand ouer this Realme of England which by sinne hath deserued farre greater punishments FINIS Definition Signes Cure
