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 Diverteâ—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 Iâ—niper Vbery Organy Wormewood Isope Rue Mug wort and of Lignum Alâ—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 pâ—riodum finem vitae suae abreviam Likewise the common Bath is to be avoyded for Modicum fermentum totam massam corrumpiâ— 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 intinâ—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 smâ—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 â—â—â—â—ed vp and paste it close that no ayre breath out and after that is â—â—â—â—ed for 12 houres take sixe or seaven spoonefuls thereof mixed with the best Venice Trâ—â—â—e in quantity of a Beane and moderately walke thereon and doe thus euery Morning before you goe â—oorth of your house as long as the Sicknesse continueth and renew your Drinke as occasion requireth to prevent the impression of the contagions ayre Another Preservative TAke Aloes cleane washed in rose-Rose-water halfe an ounce of good Myrrhe of Saffron of each two drains of Bole-Armoniack prepared one scruple of Séed-pearle one scruple of the syrrup of Lemons as much as will make it in forme of paste made in Pills and take thereof euery Morning the weight of a groat fasting and within one houre 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 thâ—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 you may take of Treacle of Andromachus and of Methridate of eyther two drams of conserue of Roses thrée drams Bole Armoniack prepared two scruples of the séeds or rootes of Angelica two scruples of 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 Sâ—orkes blood The seaventh which is most potent and powerfull is Alexipharmacum

Take of Rosewater of the waters of Endiue Buglasse Sorrell sharpe Vineger and of the juyce of Lemons of each foure ounces of Sugar one pound boyle them a little with a gentle fire and when it is cold giue thereof to drinke thrée or 4 spoonfuls at once Or else take of the waters of Roses and of Buglasse of each thrée ounces of the Sirrup of Endiue and Lemons of each two ounces of the Oyle of Vitriol one scruple mixe them and take them as aforesaid If the Patient cannot sléepe if after vomitting Bozoardicks and other meanes fit to evacuate grosse humours a man may giue the Patient Laudanum Paracelsi thrée graines thereof in Cardus Benedictus water or for want thereof the Temples of the Patient may be annoynted with this Oyntment Take of Vnguentum Populionis of Vnguentum Rosarum of Vnguentum Alabastrinum of each halfe an ounce of the Oyles of Violets and of water Lillies of eyther two drams of Opinm one scruple or two first dissolved in Rose water and then together mixed annoynting the Temples therewith will both cause sléepe and stay raging Or if you will you may vse this Take of the sirrup of Violets of the Sirrup of Lemons of the sirrup of Poppie of each one ounce of Diascordium thrée drams let them be mingled together and giue thereof sometime to the Patient to drinke for the foresaid purposes If through the heate of the stomack the Mouth Throate and Tongue be hot dry and fuâ—rod Take French Barly Sinckfoyle Violet and Strawberry leaues of each one handfull of Woodbine and Columbine leaues halfe an handfull Boyle all these in a quart of faire water and to the same Liquor strained out put thereto of Diamorâ—â—â— and of Mel rosarum of either two ounces of the Oyle of Sulphur as much as will a little sharpen it and let the Patient with some of the same liquor warmed gargarize and wash his Mouth Tongue and Throat Of Fleubotomie FLeubotomie may be vsed once in a moneth exceptage or any other cause prohibite it as in women with Child or on them that are brought low by sicknesse or on them that are subiect to any fluxe of the Belly or on them which are already infected with the Pestilence and the Botch or Sore groweth towards ripenesse Let Blood-letting be done vpon the veyne Basilica whether it be in the right or left Arme before hée eate or drinke and after the opening of the same let the Patient be jocund merry and chéerefull and to drinke Wine or Béere but alwayes â—emperately Neither is it lawfull nor convenient to sléepe the same day that the Veyne is opened if any féeleth himselfe infected with an Impostume then let him altogether refraine sléepe and prevent it by walking for in sléepe heate inwardly induceth the Venome vnto the Heart and other Spirituall Members in such sort that scarce any Hearbe may revoke the same venome vnto its former estate which thing hapneth not as long as a man is in motion But it may bée some men will aske of whom is sléepe to be avoyded What if he should haue a continuall sléepe To this I briefly answer that in the time of Pestilence if any haue an appetite to sléepe presently after he haue eaten any thing then such desires ought to be vindered for a space eyther in the Garden or Fields for an houre and then with naturall sléepe the body may haue for one houre its naturall refection and rest Therefore Avicen saith That if a man will sléepe he ought to drinke a good draught before his sléeping because in sléepe he attracteth and draweth many humours and those euill humours are repelled by the humour of a good draught But againe if a man shall aske when a man is Infected how hée ought to know it To this I say and answer that a man that is infected the same day he shall not eate much because he is repleat with euill humours and presently after Dinner he hath a desire to sléepe and perceiueth a great heate with coldnesse hée hath great paine with coldnesse and hath great paine in the former part of the head but all these are put away by mooving hither and thither and for to walke hée is not able by reason of ouermuch vnweldinesse and sluggishnesse of body for a

Suger if he have no disease in the Sinewes nor in the Ioynts A man that is very weake or accustomed much to sléepe after dinner an hours and a halfe after that he is risen from the Table he may take a reasonable sléepe All the time that a man is in them he must kéepe himselfe chastâ— from all women and so he must doe a moneth after after the counsell of divers learned Physitians and some for the space of forty dayes as Pantheus and Aleardus would namely if they come out of the Chauldron It were méete that in euery foure and twenty houres the Bath should be letten out and fresh water received into the pit againe for so shall you sooner be healed and better abide with lesse jeopardy abiding in the Bath It is most méete for them that haue any disease in the head as a Cathaire or Rhemne comming of moyst cause and not very hot For them that haue Palsies or such like diseases that they cause a bucket to be holden over their heads with an hole in it of the bignesss of a mans little finger about foure foote above their heads so that by the Réede or Pipe made for the nonce the water may come downe with great might vpon the mould of the Head if they haue the Cathaire and vpon the nape of the necke if the Patient be sicke of the Palsie or any such like disease The clay or grounds of the Bath is better for the Dropsie then is the water alone it is also good for shrunken swelled and hard places and for all old and diseased places which cannot well be healed with other medicines The matter is to lay the grounds vpon the place and to hold the same against the hote Sunne or a warme fire vntill it be something haâ—d and then to wash away the foulenesse of the Clay with the water of the Bath this may a man doe as oft as he lift Some Physitians counsell that betwéene the bathings when a man is twice bathed vpon one day in the time that the Patient is out of the bath to vse his plaistering with the Clay but if the person be any thing weake I counsell not to goe twice into the Bath but either once or else to be content with the plaistering of the mudde or grounds of the Bath It were good wisedome for them that cannot tarry long at the Bathes either for heate or for cold to take home with them some of the grounds and there occupie it as is afore-told There are certaine learned men which reckon that the hote breath or vapour that riseth vp from the Bathe is much more mightier then the water of the bath is and it is true therefore it ware well that they which haue any Dropsie and especially a Tympanie should sit over such a place of the Bath that they might receiue into the moyst diseased place the vapour of the bathe either by an holed froole or by some other such like manner of thing well devised for that purpose If any poore man by the heate of the drynesse of the Bathe cannot sléepe enough let him eate Lettice or Purflaine or the féedes of Poppy called Chesbowle in some places of England or let him eate Suger and Poppy séed together let this be done at night He may also if hóe cannot get the aforesaid things séethe Violet leaves and Mallowes and bathe the vtter-most parts with that they are sodden in These are remedies for poore â—olke that are not able to have a Physitian with them to giue them counsell Let the rich vse such remedies as their Physitians shall counsell them If any poore man be vexed with any vnsufferable thirst let him take a little Barley and séethe it long and put a little Suger vnto it or let him take the juyce of Orange or take a little of it with a little Suger If any poore man catch the Head ache let him take a little Wormelade if he can get it or Coriander Comfits or if hée can get none of these let him take the white of an Enge and beate it with Vineger and Rose water or with the broath of Violets or Nightshade or with any of them and a little Vineger and lay them in a cloath vnto the temples of his head and forehead If any poore man be burned soo much let him take a Glitter made with Mallowes Béetes and Violet leaves or let him séethe Prunes with Barley a good while and Raisins putting away the stones and eate of them or let him vse Suppositories sometimes made of rootes either of Béetes of Flower de-Luce or of white Sope or of salt Bacon If any man sweat too much let him vse colder meates than hée vsed before with Vineger or Verjuyce and let them also eate Shéepes-féete and Calves-féete with Verjuyce or Vineger If any man haue the burning of his water when he maketh it let him an houre after he is come out of the Bathe annoynt his Kidneyes with some cold Oyntment as is Infrigidus Galeni or if you cannot come by that let him seethe Violet leaues Poppy-heads Raisins Licorice and Mallowes together straine them and put some Suger in the broath and drinke of it a draught before Supper If any be troubled with the Rheume which he hath caught in the Bath let him parch or briâ—tle at the fire Nigella Romana and hold it in a cloath to his Nose and let him set cups or â—oring glasses to his shoulders without any scorching and let him drinke sodden water with Barley and with a little Suger If any man haue any appetite to eate let him vse the sirrups of Ribles or Barberian or the sirrup of vnripe Graâ—es or vse Verjuyce or Vineger to provoke appetite in due measure and now and then if yée can get it let him take a little Marmalade or of the sirrup of Mâ—â—to or Wormewood Romane These have I written for poore folke Those that are rich by the aduice of the Physitians may haue other Remedies enough against the fore-named accidents that chance in the time of their bathing If thou be rid of thy disease by thy bathing offer vnto Christ in thy pure members such offering of Thankesgiving as thou mayest spare and giue him hearty thankes both in word urinde and
