the_o grief_n or_o infirmity_n out_o of_o which_o you_o must_v take_v a_o select_a number_n according_a unto_o their_o elemental_a quality_n and_o virtue_n be_v right_o appropriate_v unto_o their_o several_a planet_n and_o gather_v at_o the_o right_n planetary_a hour_n which_o this_o book_n will_v sufficient_o instruct_v you_o dry_v they_o so_o that_o you_o may_v pound_n they_o and_o searce_v they_o into_o fine_a powder_n then_o take_v the_o quantity_n of_o half_a a_o dram_n thereof_o and_o the_o like_a quantity_n of_o the_o sympathetical_a powder_n and_o mix_v they_o well_o together_o in_o a_o mortar_n ever_o after_o keep_v the_o powder_n warm_a and_o dry_a and_o when_o you_o be_v mind_v to_o cure_v thereby_o you_o must_v warm_v the_o powder_n very_o well_o over_o a_o few_o coal_n and_o while_o its_o warm_a put_v a_o small_a quantity_n of_o the_o patient_n blood_n into_o it_o and_o mix_v it_o very_o well_o together_o always_o keep_v it_o warm_a and_o so_o make_v it_o up_o in_o a_o little_a bag_n and_o let_v the_o patient_n wear_v it_o next_o their_o skin_n that_o so_o it_o may_v always_o be_v keep_v warm_a i_o have_v by_o virtue_n of_o this_o powder_n do_v many_o very_a great_a cure_n and_o shall_v have_v still_o continue_v in_o this_o way_n of_o practice_n but_o that_o i_o find_v many_o be_v unsatisfied_a concern_v the_o legality_n thereof_o take_v it_o for_o a_o kind_n of_o charm_n by_o reason_n i_o order_v the_o patient_a to_o wear_v it_o about_o their_o neck_n and_o i_o believe_v they_o do_v the_o rather_o conceit_n so_o in_o regard_n i_o do_v use_v to_o resolve_v many_o question_n in_o astrology_n as_o theft_n stray_n fugitive_n etc._n etc._n there_o be_v but_o one_o danger_n in_o this_o way_n of_o cure_n which_o be_v as_o follow_v if_o the_o patient_n happen_v to_o lose_v this_o mixture_n from_o their_o neck_n or_o body_n wheresoever_o wear_v or_o otherwise_o let_v it_o take_v cold_a the_o grief_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o return_v a●ain_o more_o especial_o if_o the_o patient_n be_v not_o perfect_o recover_v but_o when_o the_o patient_n be_v through_o well_o than_o they_o may_v burn_v it_o i_o can_v have_v insert_v many_o cure_n which_o i_o have_v effect_v by_o virtue_n of_o this_o powder_n i_o shall_v only_o mention_v one_o for_o example_n as_o follow_v about_o nine_o year_n ago_o there_o live_v a_o woman_n in_o newberry_n in_o the_o county_n of_o berks_n she_o be_v daily_o trouble_v with_o fit_n which_o at_o the_o first_o will_v begin_v with_o a_o kind_n of_o tremble_v about_o the_o heart_n and_o from_o thence_o by_o degree_n set_v all_o the_o artery_n to_o work_v throughout_o her_o whole_a body_n after_o which_o for_o some_o hour_n she_o will_v be_v as_o seem_o dead_a and_o can_v wag_n neither_o arm_n or_o leg_n for_o cure_v whereof_o i_o let_v her_o blood_n in_o the_o heart_n vein_n and_o have_v my_o powder_n make_v in_o readiness_n according_a unto_o what_o be_v before_o express_v i_o mix_v some_o of_o her_o blood_n with_o the_o powder_n and_o while_o it_o be_v warm_a make_v it_o up_o into_o a_o little_a bag_n which_o i_o cause_v she_o to_o wear_v about_o her_o neck_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o not_o omit_v diet-drink_a suitable_a to_o her_o condition_n she_o be_v in_o about_o a_o month_n space_n recover_v notwithstanding_o she_o be_v near_o twelve_o month_n in_o this_o condition_n before_o

after_o she_o careless_o lose_v this_o from_o her_o neck_n whereupon_o her_o fit_n begin_v to_o mind_v she_o again_o and_o more_o and_o more_o increase_v insomuch_o that_o she_o be_v almost_o so_o bad_a as_o at_o the_o first_o for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o except_o the_o patient_a be_v for_o some_o time_n perfect_o well_o at_o least_o a_o month_n the_o grief_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o return_v especial_o when_o the_o principal_a matter_n of_o cure_n be_v lose_v or_o neglect_v for_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a in_o any_o distemper_n whatsoever_o only_o to_o cure_v except_o for_o a_o time_n there_o be_v a_o perfect_a settlement_n for_o we_o daily_o find_v that_o relapse_n be_v very_o dangerous_a and_o apt_a to_o befall_v many_o who_o think_v themselves_o well_o recover_v this_o woman_n husband_n come_v to_o i_o again_o and_o tell_v i_o that_o his_o wife_n be_v so_o bad_a as_o ever_o be_v much_o discontent_a he_o not_o know_v the_o reason_n i_o ask_v he_o whether_o she_o have_v not_o

whereupon_o i_o once_o more_o let_v her_o blood_n and_o do_v as_o be_v before_o express_v desire_v she_o to_o take_v care_n of_o it_o which_o she_o do_v after_o which_o she_o become_v well_o again_o
