Lastly These things being taken inwardly are preventional and resist the Diseases viz. Angelica Roots Zodoary Bolearmeniack Terra limina Methridate Treacle Tormentil and Petasitis Roots and Citron Pills thus much for Prevention In the next place I come to Provision for it when prevention is too late and first of all that Provision may be timely I begin with the Signs of one Infected which are 12 The first is when the outward Members be cold and the inward Members burning hot the second is heaviness weariness sloth and indisposition of the whole Body and difficulty in breathing the third is pain and heaviness in the Head the fourth is carefulness of mind and sadness the fifth is a marvellous inclination to sleep for the most part for sometimes watching and raving vex them the sixth is the flowing of the Eyes the seventh is the loss of appetite the eighth is immoderate thirst and often vomiting the ninth is bitterness and dryness of the Mouth the tenth is the pulse is swift small and deep the eleventh is the Urine for the most part thick and stinking the twelfth and most certain sign of all is if there appear risings behind the Ears under the Arm-holes or in the Groins without any manifest cause known or and if Carbuncles arise suddenly in any other Member these when they rise shews Naturh is strong and able because it thrusteth the venom from it in the beginning of the Sickness nay many times before the Body feels it self sick now these risings appearing in any place shew which of the Vitals is most afflicted with the Disease for if they appear about the Ears the Brain is most annoyed by reason that is the purging place of the Brain if the rising appear under the Arms then the Heart is the part afflicted for that is the purging place of the Heart but and if it appear in the Groin the Liver is most infected for the Groin is the purging place thereof but if no rising appear at all it fore-shews Nature to be weak and not able to expel and thrust forth the Venome but when those spots appear that are called Tokens they shall shew that the whole Body Universally is Corrupted c. If you feel your self infected first upon a full Stomach take a Vomit presently also in the beginning of the Disease let the Diseased Person Blood on that side that the rising appears as if it should happen in the Neck bleed in the Cephalica on that Arm viz. if it be on the right side bleed the right Arm if on the left side bleed the left Arm if the rising appear under the Arm bleed in the Basilica of the Arm on that side the rising appears but if it appear in the Groin breathe a Vein in the Ancles of the side it appears on but if none at all appear consider which parts are most grieved with Pains and Aches and proceed in Blood-letting according to the former Rules Sweating also is a very Sovereign remedy which you may effect by some such Medicines as these viz. Methridate Venice-Treacle Mathiolus his great Antidote Black-Cherry-Water Serpentary Roots Electuarium de Ovo the Blood being cooled with this or the like Juleps and let him or her drink no other Drink take Harts-horn and Ivory of each one Ounce and a half of the flowers of Violets Burrage Bugloss Clove-gilly-flowers Rosemary and Marigolds of each two Drams of the Roots of Petasitis and Zedoary of each three Drams of the Roots of Scorzonera one Ounce boyl them all in a Pottle of Water until it comes to a Quart and when it is almost boyled add to it Saffron and Chochaneal of each ten Grains then strain it and add to it Syrrup of Violets Clove-gilly-flowers and Melessaphylli fernelii of each one Ounce Oyl of Sulphur 12 Drops let this be drank so often as the sick is a dry if the Diseased be astringent keep the Body soluble with Clysters and let them be refreshed and strengthened with Cordials and if they sleep not provoke sleep with Diascordium but have a care of Opiates in the beginning of the Disease if they vomit much as some do vomit up all they do eat and drink stay it with Spirit of Mint or bake a Toast very well then dip it in Wine Vinegar chew a little of this while it is hot and hold the rest to your Nose and it will close up the mouth of the Stomach and if any swelling do rise consider first whether it be likely to brake or not that you may know by its lying deep in the Flesh and looking white it is not likely to break you must then anoint it with Oyl of Lillies or Oyl of Camomell but if it rise to a Head and look Red and lye not deep in the Flesh it will break then take a young Pidgeon pull off the Feathers from the tail and hold her bare Fundament to the swelling and it will draw out all the Venome some lay Venice Treacle to it for Venice Treacle draweth the Venome to it but sometimes the swelling falls down again and is black this shews great danger of Life and that comes through cold taken therefore you must be very careful and see that you do not take cold in this Disease for it is very dangerous but when it is too late to prevent the Remedy thereof presently take a Pidgeon and with a sharp Knife slit her through the breast to the Back break her open and apply her yet alive to the place if this do no good apply a cupping Glass to the place for a desperate Disease must have a desperate Cure for what is it that a Man will not do to save his Life so long as there is hopes when the sore is broken apply a Milliot Plaister to it and tent it with Linimentum Arcei and make no great haste to heal it up Lastly And if Tokens appear which by most people is affirmed and firmly belived to be an infallible sign of Death let the Person so infected be let Blood and when you have so done give such Physick as shall be thought fit by an able Physitian for the cleansing of the Body from all ill humours and let the sick have such Cordials as shall cool the Blood and strengthen Nature then see through the providence of God whether Nature will not be able to rout the Disease Another Remedy for those that have the Tokens which is somewhat more desperate than the former as thus whilst natural heat remains wrap up the sick Person in a Blanket wet in cold Water and that will cause a violent Sweat and thereby purges out the Corruption from the Blood c. For a Plague Sore Boyl or Carbuncle Bay-salt dryed and beaten into fine Powder and well incorporated with the yolks of Eggs makes an excellent Plaister being spread upon Leather This also is an excellent remedy for the Plague take Ivy Berries when they are Ripe and dry them then take half a Dram of the Powder of them in Plantain-Water and sweat upon it another if a piece of Angle-Gold be put into Juice of Lemmons and after 24 hours taken out again and a little Angelica Root in powder put into it and drunk by such as have the Plague cures to admiration but you must gather the Angelica on a Sunday just as the Sun rises because it is a Herb of the Sun and the Gold should be put in at the same time c. So much for the Prevention and Cure of the Pestilence c. But if Nature frown the Case is hard And if Art want the matter all is marr'd Do not we know that the Learned Physician giving a Medicine to his sick Patient expecteth not that it should immediately operate some hours he alloweth for the Medicines operation God is our Physician the Heavens his store-house or Shop the Sun Moon and Stars his Instrumental Medicines and Drugs their motion his time he gives in operation If Physick work not as the Learned Doctor conceiveth it ought to do aliquid latet there is an obstruction he little thought of Therefore if I mistake or fail in these my Prognosticks perhaps the Great Jehovah hath reserved the Honour for some more worthy and deserving person than I am therefore blinds my Senses or else permits me not to see or fore-tell what those Heavenly Messengers are the fore-runners of c.
