Infection the Causes and Prognosticks being already declared NOw shall it be directed by what meanes every man ought to preserue himselfe from this infection And according to the spéech of David saying that a man ought Diverte●e a malo ad bonum to turne from evill and doe good And most humbly Peecata sui confiteri to confesse his sinnes for in the time of Pestilence Penitency and Confession are to be preferred before all other Medicaments and withall to change the place for a more ayre But if it cannot be done conveniently in as much as possible may be let all causes of corruption be euitated and avoyded and consequently Venerie Also the Wind procéeding from the Meridian or South poynt is contagious and infectiue naturally Therefore in the time of the Pestilence the Windowes on the same side the house ought to be shut vntill one of the clock in the afternoone and let the Windowes bée open towards the North-part For the same cause let there bée no evill sents or smels as from Stables stréets and fields where dead carkasses corrupted and putrified may annoy you and chiefly putrified Waters as from sinckes and houses of Office for Paracelsus saith Omne putrifactum mere est venenum And most commonly we find they dye in greatest number where the ayre is corrupted with those annoyances For Sicut per odorem aromaticam cor spus recreantur ita ex nocivo fetore debilitantur Therefore the house is to be kept that no infectiue ayre enter therein especially that which is humide and moist which naturally causeth putrifaction in the house or places where one sléepeth For prevention thereof the same house or places ought to be ayred with fires of Wood yéelding cleare flame and withall to fumigate the roomes with these Hearbs and séeds subscribed Bayberries I●niper Vbery Organy Wormewood Isope Rue Mug wort and of Lignum Al●es let these fumes be inspired and taken at the mouth and Nosthrils so that it may penetrate into the inferior and inward parts Let alll Superfluity and overmuch repletions be refrained for Avicen in 4 Canonis saith Illi qui repletionem semper curant p●riodum finem vitae suae abreviam Likewise the common Bath is to be avoyded for Modicum fermentum totam massam corrumpi● Finally communities and concourses of people are also to be left off as much as possible may be least the breath of the infected be receiued But in case they cannot be shunned let these Remedies bée vsed which hereafter follow The first Preservative VVHen one ariseth in the Morning by and by let him eate a little Rue washt in cleane water and sprinkled with Salt with one or two Walnuts well clensed If that can not be had let him eate some Bread or a toast intin●ted with Vineger especially in a Turbid or cloudy day Also in the time of Pestilence it is better to stay within doores then to goe abroad into any Towne or City and let the house especially in the Summer be sprinkled with Vineger Roses and Vine leaues also it shall be good oftentimes in the day to wash the hands with water and Vineger and afterward to clense the face and to sm●ll vnto the hands washed as aforesaid It shall be also a wholesome course as well in Summer as Winter to smell vnto sowre things And for those that are visitors of the sicke to take a spunge or piece of bread stéeped in Vineger and to hold to the Nose or Mouth for all Acetosus and sower things doe so close the powers and passages of the humors that no venomous ayre can enter therein as by experience I haue often found Also if you take Rue Wormewood Sage Marigolde of each thrée handfuls infuse them wholly in a gallon of Ale newly ●●●●ed vp and paste it close that no ayre breath out and after that is ●●●●ed for 12 houres take sixe or seaven spoonefuls thereof mixed with the best Venice Tr●●●e in quantity of a Beane and moderately walke thereon and doe thus euery Morning before you goe ●oorth of your house as long as the Sicknesse continueth and renew your Drinke as occasion requireth to

after to take a little thin Broth Ale berry or white Wine and fast thereon thrée houres after and then to vse your accustomed dyet Another BVt if the body be very costive and distempered therewith th●n may yée vse these Pils in quantity as aforesaid Euery morning for foure of five dayes together if néed require and prepared as thus Take of Rheubarbe Myrrhe of each one dram Aloes two drams Zeadorie roote Saffron of each one scruple syrrup of Roses solutive as much as will suffice to make it in forme of Pills and to take them in manner as afore directed Another Preservative TAke of Methridate conserve of Roses of each halfe all ounce Bole Armoniack prepared two drams mixe them together and take thereof as much as a Nut at once and fast thereon two or thrée houres after Or else

the séeds of Citrons halfe a dram of the sirrupe of Lemons halfe an ounce mixe all together and take thereof the quantity of a Hassell nut in the morning or at any time of the day else if you goe into any throng of people and fast a while after it There are also many other preservatiues more costly yet far more powerfull in their effects which may be had at the hands of the Chymists as Potus Pestilentialis Paracelsus whereof one dram being taken in the morning fasting and to sweat thereon is a preservatiue for the Pestilence for sixe dayes The second preseruatiue is Sulphur sublimed with Myrrhe and Aloes halfe a dram with Sugar thereof being taken in the morning preserueth a man all that day from all Astrall impression The third preservatiue is Zenechthon Paracelsi which being hanged about the necke hindereth the attractiue power of the Microcosmus or little World which is Man The fourth against the intuition or venomous aspects of women and men as aforesaid Is Chelidonia gathered in the full of the Moone and carried about one The fift for them which are visitors of the sicke let them hold in their mouth Frankensence and withall let the infected at the same instant hold also in their mouth of the rootes of Imperitoria The sixt is the essence of Harts and S●orkes blood The seaventh which is most potent and powerfull is Alexipharmacum
