foresaid purging Whey is good for them But otherwise instead of it use this following diet Drink which is not very loathsome to the Stomach 1. Take pretty strong Wort and boyl in five Gallons till it come to three of the leaves of Balm Bo●age Agrimony Sca●i●us and Wild-Marjorum or Pot Marjorum where the other cannot be got each two small handful of the Roots of Dandelion and Polipody each two ounces use it as you do other Beer and when you turn it up casting out the Herbs and Roots before you put Barm to it put in it this following bag to three Gallons 1. Take of Sena three ounces and an half of Wild-Marjorum and S●●●t-Marjorum each a small handful of Liquorice scrapt and Anniseed bruised each an ounce of Chalk pund a pound and three gads of Steel put all in a thin Canvass bag and so hang it by a Thred that the bottom only may touch the bottom of the Vessel when it hath stood two days drink a pint every morning till it is done a full body that can bear more purging may take another draught at five a Clock and one that suspecteth a bilious lives and Gall may put but three ounces of Senna and one of Rhubarb 3. One that loveth the taste of Wormwood to overcome the Senna taste and is in haste may take this following instead of the former Take of good beer ready to drink three Gallons put into a wooden or earthen Vessel as aforesaid and hang in it a bag that hath of Wormwood Agrimony and Wild-Marjorum each two handful of Centaury one handful of Senna three ounces of Liquorice and Anniseed of each an ounce of Steel three gads at two days end drink it as before If it be a weak thin body he may take it with intermission as he is able and forbear every third and fourth day 4. These Dyet Drinks are not all so effectual as this that followeth but easier to most Stomachs but the deeper melancholly persons were better take the next Take of Senna an ounce of Liquorice scrapt two scruples of Cynamon bruised one scruple put all in forty four spoanfuls of water let it stand in a Pot stopt one hour and an half cold and another hour and an half warm on the Embers but not boyling strein it and let it stand in a Pot well stopt still two hours Take of this twelve or fourteen spoonfuls of Syrup of Vinegar an ounce of Cremor Tartari powder a dram disolve it on the Embres and drink it warm in bed and lye an hour after but do not sleep or sweat at four hour ends drink a draught of broath made of Veal or Cock till it will gelly which had boiled in it some Epithyme Polypody Balm and a little Rosemary with a little Nutmeg Take this potion in this manner three next days together every week for a body that can bear it in ordinary Melancholly for seven weeks together in old obstinate Melancholly for twelve or fourteen weeks But if it be a body not full and strong enough to bear three days take it the two next days every week It gripeth more than the ordinary ways of using Senna but that need not be feared for it never brings the bloody-Flux nor useth to weaken And the griping doth good by drawing down the troubling matter from the head into the common passages 5. If it be a thin tender body aged or weak that hath sharp humors and can bear none of the aforesaid more effectual purges such a one may either in Chicken broth or in Barley water or rather in Whey or Posset Drink boyld strong with Pippens infuse all night or rather three hours some Senna in a Cloth and drink it in the morning as oft as he can bear it that is two drams for very weak Persons or three ordinarily in neer a point of the liquor putting a little Cynamon into it 6. If the foresaid remedies do but begin the cure use this next to perfect it or this alone for tender and cold Stomachs that cannot bear the other which yet may much better go before this and this come last Take for a hot body white Wine for a cold body Sherry two quarts put it in a great bottle and put to it of Senna an ounce of Cynamon bruised two drams of Saffr●● one dram of Cremor Tartary powdered half an ounce if it be Sherry or two drams if it be white Wine Let it stand close stopt three days shaking it oft then put it out into several bottles to keep the better take of this three spoonful fasting every day two may serve when it is for prevention in a weak body or four when you would purge more If the taste seem the worse for the Tartar to any you may leave it out and put instead of it half an ounce of Epithyme and take a dram of Cremor Tartary dissolved in a draught of good broth and hour or more after it This Medicine is not loathsom or nauseous to the stomach and is magnified by former and later Physitians of the greatest experience and success in this Disease But all such things must be patiently long continued and no violent Medicines used 7. Chalybeat Medicines also are usually profitable in this Disease but because Country people cannot themselves make them I am loath to insert them one I will prescribe for them that can have an Apothecary to make it Take of unprepared filings of Steel six ounces make it red hot in an iron ladle and quench it in five or six ounces of white Wine Do this thrice then put to the wine of Worwood Water and of Scurvy-Grass-Water each a pint of Aqua Mirabilis two ounces or instead of them all a quart of Compound Radish-wader of Sugar six ounces of Senna an ounce and half of Cremor Tartary three drams of Saffron a dram of Cynamon a dram let it stand in a warm place three days oft shaking it Take two ounces four or five spoonfuls fasting many weeks together and walk or labour after it Or after sufficient purging fresh Succory Roots make into a Conserve and taken with a little prepared Steel for poor people that have obstructions may do well half an ounce of the Conserve with half a scruple of Steel 8. If they be Costive so as to effect the head the more else let them do as followeth 1. Fast not especially in the mornings but take some iight breakfast and eat the less at dinner either half a dish of Pannado with four or five spoonfuls of white Wine in it when they eat it or Gruel or broth made of Veal or Chicken or on old Cock with a Sheeps head boyld till it will gelly and a little white Wine put in at the eating and the same at Supper unless the Stomach be clog'd with crudities and then forbear Supper or Dinner 2. Some find a little Saffron in broth a cure of Costiveness and it is one of the truest Cordials known in the World 3. With
