London-treacle is a good Antidote in pestilential times it resists Poyson strengthens cold Stomacks helps digestion and crudities of the stomack Diascordium mightily strengtheneth the Heart and Stomack it provokes Sleep and is used in Feavers for that purpose What parts must be armed against aad preserved from the Pox. The Eyes Nose Throat Lungs inward parts ought to be kept freer from the eiuption of Pustles than the other parts You must defend the eyes when you first begin to suspect the disease with the eye-lids also moistening them with Rose-water a little Camphire and Saffron with two or three drops of Vinegar Or with Plantine and Rose-waters in which a little Saffron is dissolved Also Womans milk mixed with Rose-water often renewed But if the eyes be much swolne and red you must strengthen the sight with Fennell or Eyebright-water White Rose and Eye brightwaters with a little Camphire and with a feather dresse them often in a day To preserve the Face that the Pox leave not behinde them pits and scarres which doth often deform the countenance when they are ripe and are high and white in the middle then mingle Spermaceti and oyle of sweet Almonds together to an oyntment and with a feather anoynt the face therewith being a little warmed this will cause them to scale Oyle of sweet Almonds new drawn without fire is excellent for the same purpose and so is oyl of Nute new drawn without fire and mixed well with a like quantity of Rose-water till they come to the form of a liniment then anoynt with a feather twice a day This following Liniment is much used Take of fat Bacon one pound cut it in thin slices and hang it in a string before the fire that it may melt and let it drop it into half a pint of Rose and Plantine-water and when it is all melted let it roole and then bear it out of the water with a cleane Spatula then wash it in three ●● four severall waters more then 〈◊〉 out the water and mix the fat with a dramme of Spermacete and anoynt the face with a feather Oyle of bitter Almonds two ounces with Spermacete half an ounce is very good to anoynt the face after the pox are dryed to cause them to fall off without leaving any marks The oyle of yolks of Eggs is very good to cleare the skin and restore hair and to cure the Malign ulcers which many times happens after the Pox

it is thus made Take of new-laid Egges one hundred boyle them untill they be hard and take out the yolke and cut them in pieces and put them into a fryingpan untill they turne reddish and yeild a faity moisture then take them and put them hot into a hair bag and presse out the oyle It is the practise of many that when the Pox be ripe to bore them thorough with a golden or silver needle lest the quittor tarrying long in them should leave holes in the part But experience has taught that the Pox being bored are longer in healing and doth longer hold their cruft because of the weaknesse of naturall heat caused in the part by boring whereby more deformed scarres are left behind The internall parts may be preserved with a decoction of Lentils and Tragaganth described before Such Pox as arise in the Os faxe mouth palate and throat with hoursenesse and difficulty of swallowing may be helped by Gargarismes made with Barley-water plantine-Plantine-water with some syrup of red Roses and Mulberries dissolved therein The Lungs are preserved by Pulmo syrup of Jujubes deyed Roses white Poppies Myrtils Pomgranates Water-lillies and the like Sometimes tedious itchings solicite the Patient to scratch especially in the palmes of the hands and soles of the feet because the thickness of the skin in those parts hinders the eruption of the Pox which you shall help if you cause those parts to be fomented pretty hot with a decoction of Marshmallowes Barley Lupines or with a decoction of Pellitory of the Wall one handfull flowers of Cammomel and Melilote of each half a pugill boyle them in a pint of Scabious-water with this liquor hot often let the itching pox be moistned The Excoriations and Ulcers which arise from deep and malignant Pox are to be cured with Vnguentum Album well camphorated When the Feaver is past and the Pox begin to fall let them eat Bread and Butter or a potched Egge let their Beer be warmed with a Toste and sweetened with a little Sugar and when they have drunk let them eat the Toste to cleanse their mouth throat As for sucking Children such things shall be given to the Nurse as may infringe and overcome the strength of the malignity she shall take broths with Purslain Lettuce Sorrell Succory Borage and French Barley She shall shun all salt spiced and baked meats she shall drink decoctions of Licorish Raisons and Sorrel roots She shall also take purging Medicines as if she were sick of the same disease that so her milk may become medicinable Cautions in Aire and Diet to prevent the Small Pox and Measles No prevention seemed more certain to the Anoients than most speedily to remove into places far distant from the infected place and to be slow in their return thither again But those who by reason of their employments cannot change their habitation must principally have care of two things The first is that they strengthen their bodies the principall part thereof against the daily imminent invasions of the pestiferous and venerate aire The second is that they amend and purge the corruptions of the venenate malignity by smells and perfumes resisting the poyson thereof Let moderate exercise precede your Meales Let the belly have due evacuation either by Nature or Art Let the heart the seat of life and the rest of the bowels be strengthened with Cordialls and Antidotes Make choice of a pure Air and far remote from stinking places for a cloudy or mifty air such as is infected with grosse and stinking vapours duls the spirits dejects the appetite makes the body faint and ill-coloured oppresseth the heart and is the breeder of many diseases Kindle a cleare fire in all the lodging chambers of the house and perfume the whole house with Aromatick things as Fankinsence Myrrhe Benzoin Landanum Styrax Lavender Rosemary Marjoram Cloves pieces of Firre Juniper and let your clothes be aired in the same Excesse in diet is to be shunned for thence proceeds obstruction and preparation of the body to putrefaction Women must be very carefull that they have their courses duly for stopping besides the custome they easily acquire corruption and draw by contagion the rest of the humours into their society Of the Cordiall remedies to preserve our bodies from the Small Pox and Measles The roots of Angelica is a singular remedy against all infections taken by evil and corrupt aire if you hold a piece of it in your mouth or chew the same between your teeth it doth most certainly dr●ve away the pestilentiall aire Zedoary is an excellent root held or chewed in the mouth so are the roots of Scoizonera and Contra-ye●va condited Treacle-water two ou●ces with the like quantity of Sack is much commended being drunk and rubbing the nostrils mouth and eares with the same The Electuary following is very effectuall Take of the best Treacle three ounces Juniper-berries and Carduus-seeds of each one dramme and a half of Bolearmoniack prepared half an ounce of Damargariton Frigidum the powder of Harts-horn and red Cor●ll of each one dramme mix them with the syrup of Citions as much as will make all into a I quid Electuary take every morning the quantity of a Filberd in two spoonfuls of Scabious-water These following Tablets are also very profitable Take the roots of Angelica Ga●tian Zedoarie Elecampane of each halfe an ounce of Citron and Sorrel-seeds of each a dram of the dried rinds of Citrons Cinamon Bay Juniper-berries Saffron of each two scruples of Conserve of Roses and Bugloss of each two ounces and fine hard Sugar as much as is sufficient make thereof Tablets of the weight of half a dram take one of them in a morning and before meat two hours one at a time Mithridate and London or Venice-Treacle are commended above all Cordialls adding for every half ounce of each of them one ounce and a half of Conserves of Roses or of Bugloss and two or three drammes of Bole-Armoniack prepared Of these being incorporated make a Conserve it is to be taken in the morning the quantity of a Filberd Take of preserved Citron and Orange pills of each two drammes of Conserve of Roses and the roots of Buglosse of each six drammes of Citron seeds one ounce of Anis and Fennel-seeds of each two drammes of Angelica-roots three drammes sugar of Roses as much as sufficeth make it into a body of a Conserve and take a little of it before you goe abroad every morning The pills of Ruffus are accounted most effectuall preservatives so that Ruffus himself saith that he never knew any to be infected that used them the composition of them is thus Take of the best Alloes half a dramme of Gum-Amoniacum two drammes of Myrrhe two drammes and a half of Mastick two drammes of Saffron seven graines make them all into fine powder and incorporate them with the juice of Citrons or the syrup of Lemmons and make thereof a Misse and take the weight of half a dramme every morning two or three hours before meat and drink the water of Sorrell after it The Alloes doth cleanse and purge Myrrhe resists putrefaction Mastick strengthens Saffron exhilerates and makes lively the spirits Of Locall Medicines All aromatical astringent or spirituous things have proper vertues against ill and infectious aires and to strengthen the heart and the brain Of this kind are Rue Balme Rosemary Scordium Sage Wormwood Nutmeg Cloves Saffron the roots of Angelics and Lovage and such like which must be macerated one night in sharp Vinegar and Aqua vitae and then tyed in a knot as big as an egg or rather let it be carried in a sponge soked in the said infusion Take Cinamon and Cloves beaten together with a little Saffron in equal parts of vinegar of Roses and Rose-water into which you must dip a sponge which rowled in a fair linnen cloth you may carry it in your hand and often smell to Or take of Wormwood half a handful ten Cloves of the roots of Gentian and Angelica of each two drammes of Vinegar and Rose-water of each two ounces of Treacle Mithridate of each one dramme beat and mix them all well together and let a sponge be dipped therein and used as abovesaid Or you may make Pomanders the form of which is thus Take of yellow Sanders Mace Citron pills Rose-leaves of each two drammes of Banzoin Ladanum Storax of each half a dramme of Cinamon and Saffron of each two scruples of Camphire and Ambergreece of each one scruple of Musk three graines let them all be made into powder and with Tragaganth dissolved into Rose-water make a Pomander And for the same purpose you may carry about with you sweet powders made of Ambergreece Storax Orris Nutmegs Cloves Mace Saffron Benzoin Musk Camphire Roses Violets Marjoram and such like of which being mixed together powders may be compounded and made Many more Receipts I could set down both for the intentions curative and preservative but I hope these flowers of the most learned experienced Sennertus Riverius Bartholomeus per Dulcis Hollerius Fuchsius Parius and divers other Authors with the known experience of my Father's and my own may suffice untill the next oppertunity FINIS
