haue aboundantly vvryten of this dreadful and perelous sicknes I nede to speake litle of it Yet seing al men ether can not reade them or els vnderstand them I thought it mete to set it forth for all mens health in so muche as all men shal be in daunger of so cruell an enemy And firste as touching the cause of it there are diuers one is the sinnes and vvickednes of the people for vvhich God haue and do sende the pestilence for the revvard of synne An other is taken of the sterres and cōstellation Nam ortus occasus syderum magnae coniunctiones luminum eclipses mutationes magnas in corporib nostris faciunt The last is taken of the phylosophers and phisicians vvhich is the inspiration and dravving in of the pestilentiall and corrupte aire into the body ful of ravve humors and suche as are apte to receiue corruption The next vvay to preserue the body from this infirmitie is to open a vayne or purge to flee from the corrupt aire to vse abstinence moderat diet exercise also fleeng long sleepe of often eating and drinking vvhan as nature require it not this make the body preparid to the pestilēce Also not to go abrode in the aire before the sunne haue shevvid vvhā you go abrode in

done by drinking colde vvater ptisanes colde siropes and Iulepes before mensionid This done being vvare of sodain altering the body thou shalt by gods helpe come to thy perfit health ¶ Of the Quartayne YF the enemies of Astronomy vvil maintain their folish and arrogāt opinions against hir this vvare sufficient argument to ouerthrovve them in that they do manifestly se hovv the body of man

so generally knovven Yea the heauens shall giue suche vnsesonable vvether that the humors rather shal be more and more subiect to corruption then to be alterid to the health of the body so that the quartaine shall not avvay at the spring as many suppose but driue vntyl Sommer et vix tunc finietur therfor in the spring it shal be good to purge melancholicke and phlegmatick humors yea and vnto

good vvine vvhight and pleasaunt and finally all his diet must be hovv to make his body hoat and moyst And to flee thinges that are colde and drie asvvel outvvardly as to be invvardly receiued ¶ Of the quotidian Ague MY mynde is rather to prescribe a good order of diet then a vvay of curation in this and other agues vvhich do long moleste the body because vvhere time do serue there may be remedy and counsell sought at the learned but for their cause I vvrite vvhiche dvvell farre frō the maisters of Physick in cuntrey tovvnes and villages The quotidian do inuade such as be grosse cold and
