xxviii_o whereas_o we_o have_v say_v before_o that_o the_o pestilential_a fever_n be_v always_o or_o most_o common_o accompany_v with_o either_o of_o these_o three_o symptom_n to_o wit_n a_o botch_n a_o carbuncle_n or_o the_o token_n we_o say_v now_o that_o for_o the_o token_n they_o require_v no_o particular_a cure_n but_o only_o the_o general_a one_o of_o sweat_a but_o the_o other_o two_o must_v have_v a_o peculiar_a one_o for_o themselves_o beside_o that_o of_o sweat_v and_o therefore_o first_o concern_v the_o botch_n xxix_o a_o pestilent_a botch_n be_v a_o swell_a or_o tumour_n grow_v most_o common_o in_o the_o emunctory_n of_o the_o body_n as_o behind_o the_o ear_n in_o the_o armpit_n but_o most_o frequent_o in_o the_o groin_n it_o be_v figure_n in_o the_o beginning_n be_v oblong_o with_o as_o it_o be_v a_o string_n or_o a_o sinew_n along_o in_o the_o middle_n of_o it_o but_o by_o degree_n it_o grow_v round_o and_o of_o the_o breadth_n of_o some_o time_n 2._o or_o 3._o or_o 4._o finger_n the_o cure_n of_o it_o be_v first_o with_o a_o cupping-glass_n to_o draw_v it_o forth_o as_o much_o as_o you_o can_v and_o then_o bring_v it_o to_o maturity_n and_o suppuration_n

place_n and_o be_v at_o first_o about_o the_o bigness_n of_o a_o pin_n head_n or_o a_o little_a pease_n but_o sometime_o grow_v to_o a_o fearful_a bigness_n it_o be_v of_o a_o round_a and_o sharp-pointed_a figure_n and_o stick_v so_o fast_o to_o the_o part_n where_o it_o grow_v that_o the_o skin_n can_v be_v loosen_v from_o the_o flesh_n there_o be_v a_o great_a heat_n burn_v and_o pain_n as_o if_o the_o part_n be_v prick_v with_o needle_n with_o a_o unsufferable_a itch_n when_o the_o tumour_n grow_v big_a there_o appear_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o it_o a_o pustule_n like_o those_o that_o appear_v where_o the_o flesh_n have_v be_v burn_v any_o body_n will_v think_v there_o be_v some_o matter_n in_o it_o but_o when_o it_o be_v open_v no_o matter_n come_v out_o but_o the_o flesh_n under_o look_v black_a and_o crusty_a as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v burn_v with_o a_o hot_a iron_n round_o about_o it_o the_o flesh_n be_v of_o several_a colour_n as_o the_o rainbow_n red_a purple_a black_a and_o always_o shine_v as_o pitch_v or_o seacole_n in_o every_o carbuncle_n there_o be_v a_o feel_n as_o it_o be_v of_o a_o great_a weight_n as_o if_o the_o part_n be_v crush_v with_o a_o heavy_a lump_n of_o lead_n and_o tie_v too_o hard_o with_o a_o string_n those_o that_o go_v back_o again_o into_o the_o body_n after_o they_o have_v appear_v or_o be_v bring_v to_o suppuration_n do_v grow_v dry_a on_o a_o sudden_a be_v mortal_a these_o carbuncle_n proceed_v from_o a_o adust_a choleric_a and_o melancholic_a blood_n and_o be_v more_o frequent_a in_o hot_a country_n as_o the_o botch_n be_v in_o the_o cold_a one_o xxxii_o the_o cure_n of_o a_o carbuncle_n be_v to_o bring_v it_o to_o a_o softness_n and_o suppuration_n therefore_o first_o take_v mallow_n and_o violet_a leaf_n the_o root_n of_o lily_n linseed_n in_o powder_n figgs_n slice_v plantain_n hemlock_n and_o houseleek_n boil_v all_o in_o a_o sufficient_a quantity_n of_o run_a water_n and_o make_v a_o fomentation_n to_o be_v use_v four_o or_o five_o time_n a_o day_n and_o after_o the_o fomentation_n apply_v this_o pultis_fw-la lukewarm_a take_v of_o mallow_n and_o violet_a leaf_n sorrell_n houseleek_n of_o each_o two_o handful_n fry_v they_o in_o sweet_a butter_n and_o stamp_v they_o afterward_o with_o the_o yolk_n of_o five_o egg_n and_o and_o four_o ounce_n of_o honey_n of_o rose_n and_o make_v a_o pultis_fw-la to_o be_v renew_v every_o 12._o hour_n poultice_n in_o this_o case_n be_v always_o to_o be_v prefer_v before_o plaster_n because_o plaster_n stop_v the_o pore_n of_o the_o body_n and_o hinder_v the_o expiration_n of_o the_o pestilential_a venom_n xxxiii_o let_v it_o be_v observe_v for_o a_o most_o material_a thing_n that_o the_o pulse_n in_o the_o plague_n be_v always_o quick_a small_a obscure_a and_o intermittent_a xxxiv_o have_v now_o in_o a_o few_o line_n express_v the_o nature_n and_o cure_n of_o the_o plague_n and_o its_o symptom_n it_o remain_v also_o we_o shall_v
