over twice to make the cure absolute drink with it Posset Drink or Veal Broth as in other courses of Physick Now as touching signs and accidents of this Disease No man can speak of any terrible symptome sign of any Disease whatsoever that hath befallen any man but the like hath been seen in some one person or other sick of the Plague and therefore it is called the sickness as comprehending all other sickness in it self Accidental signes which presage Death As namely when the Patient is possessed with soundings and faintings and cold and clammy sweats often changing the countenance vomiting of slimy sharp and ill-coloured flegme either greenish yellowish blackish or blood-coloured Saines or voiding of excrements disordered and discoloured either fatty blackish unctious or unnaturally stinking Convulsions contractions of the Nerves grovelling and piddling with the fingers as plucking the Bed-cloaths We shall speak something of the three great out ward signs of the Plague Imprimis First the Bubo these Buboes Boyles or Pestilential Botches commonly happen in the Emunctories Sinkes or cleansing parts of the Body at the Artist terms them and seldome elsewhere if they be Pestilential Namely they come in the glandulous parts under or behinde the ears if the brain bee oppressed which is the place by which the brain if Nature bee able driveth out the Venome or Poysonous Infection which would kill the whole Body In the second place it cometh under the Arm holes where are certain small Glandules or Kernels and to that part the heart sendeth out the venomous vapours or offending matter which suddenly groweth there to an Imposthume Botch or Boyle The third and last place where the Bubo Pestilential cometh is in the Groin where when the Liver is oppressed and Nature strong she sendeth forth the Disease or botch thither and this is the third part where the botch appeareth The second outward sign of the Plague is the fierce burning Carbunckle called the burning Cole which happeneth in every part of mans body without Order Rule or Controule within the body as well as without it does appear first inflamed hard in the midst thereof with a burning pain afflicting the sick like the burning fire and itching much which if scratched will come forth a redish yellowish dusky coloured Icour and sometimes the pain is so great the Patient will grow mad The shape of this Disease is somewhat round and the colour uncertaine sometimes it is pale sometimes reddish sometimes black or purple or greenish and the two last colours are most fearful and therefore in the beginning of this Disease sweat the Patient well if it appear greenish the Party commonly dyeth Thus much of the Second principal signe of the Plague The third signe of this Disease is the Blaine whereof some infected have many and some againe not one and this Disease is a painful angry Push somewhat like the small Pox but in colour more red or cloudy seldome transparent as a small Pock usually is but farre more painful some have them big and some have them little with a small head of an angry blew or redish colour sometimes of a lead colour hard or fleshy growing upon a large root or stool this Disease is found in every part of the body but this Blain seldome killeth or hindreth the cure of the disease So much for the third signe the Blaine The fourth signe of the Plague is the Mark or Spots called Gods Tokens but not alwaies certaine signs of the Plague nor of death to the Patient as some ignorant Nurses nay most Nurses imagine for many have Spots of several forms and colours when venomous Feaversreigne and yet not the Plague againe many have suspicious and fearful Spots which the Vulgar terme Gods Tokens and recover and live many years after to Gods glory these Spots are upon some bodies like Flea-bitings in others larger in some as bigge as a penny their kindes in some like Freckles sometimes found upon the Breast sometimes upon the Back the Armes and Leggs of the Patient they are in colour blewish and of a sad red sometimes of a lead colour and of a purple colour they are without paine but many times the very sight of them to the Patient causeth fear but let me desire the Patient to fear his sins more and use the means and by the help of God you may doe well By the way some Doctors will give this advice to fly from the place visited and that quickly and that farre and tarry long from the danger the infected are in where it reigneth I deny not but they are good Rules but remember our God is every where now let him that flieth fly from sin from all sin by true repentance and this is the safest way the best way to cast anchor in Christ and depend upon Christ Things to be avoyded in time of Plague 1 Every fulness is uneasie for Nature to digest and may prove vicious in contagious times beware of raw Fruites of Oysters Muskles new Wines or the like novelties as Milions Musk-milions 2 Beware of being abroad too early or too late in times of contagion observe a good custome with your owne Bodies doe not suffer the body to be too costive or over-much bound neither is it safe to keep a mans body daily in purging no nor in daily looseness for it is not good nor safe neither Bleed but by good advice if it may be had no not before nor after Sickness for fearful effects doe ensue often by unadvised bleeding and purging in contagious times now Preservatives are put before Curative Medicines in the disease of the Plague by most Learned men the reason is as well concerning the Sick as also their friends and attendants therefore it is not amiss to begin with things that preserve from the infection and one is to correct the Evil Ayre in houses A Remedy against the Infection Take a handful of Rue and put it in a Gallon of Vinegar and drink three spoonfuls in a morning in half a pint of worm-wood-Wine or dip a peice of Bread in the Vinegar only and and eate it take Figgs and steep them in rue-Rue-vinegar all night eate two or three in the morning fasting A Remedy if you are infected Take a penny-worth of Venice Treacle and mixe it in two or three spoonfuls of dragon-Dragon-water and drink it off and sweat
