TO THE RIGHT HOnourable Sir Thomas Bennet, Lord Major of the city of London.  
Whereas it is the order of the most, to dedicate unto the best deserver, as well in regard of worthiness of the one, as office and duty of the other, I deem me not to degenerate, in dedicating unto your L. this direction, which is dimmed for want of time, wherein more acuitie might have increased, yet perfectly seeing the way wherein to wait attendance, for your L. use and service: the readier for that your L. is placed a protector over our worthiest and most famous place of protection, whose wings being but bedewed with false report of pestilence, no small sort do savour of distress, there, and else where: but being by death displumed of many, and dispossessed of more by daily departure, may justly possess all with grief, and desire to relieve, to see the city in grief, enduring separation daily, whereas unity should be hourly: the rather, for that your L. hath not been absent, but with your brethren carefully busied, in comforting, relieving, and preventing, which ought to be a joy and comfort for all, to see the distressed have so ready a key, not only to shut up, and secure from pursuing pestilence, but to let out at liberty without waist of the afflict wealth. Of which joy I taking part, have joyfully imparted, this little labour, which I shall with more joy in better manner, endeavour to polish and finish, and with most joy of all bold to dedicate unto your L. if this may move your Honour, to limit the same to pass in open way, where the most may accompany the benefit therein: which I humbly commend unto your L. as a better, beseeching the best of all, to comfort your Honourable estate with increase and continuance of happiness and heavenly bliss. And so ceasing your further trouble, I humbly take my leave.  
From Wellingborough in Northamptonshire. Septem. 1. 1604. Your L. in his best endeavours to command, james Manning.   

To the Reader.  
Having considered the careless regard of many concerning the health of themselves, and others, and the great necessity in this grievous visitation: I could not but endeavour to counsel, and to relieve by this poor pamphlet, poor in regard of plainness, respecting the plainer sort, whose welcome shall admonish weariness to be wanting, when I shall hereafter in better sort be busied, in finishing this slender and short labour, posted forward to help, although not to finish such a needful work, which I leave to the long devised, and learned lines of others, extant, or to come, whom I never minded to rob of any rights, neither purposed to prevent by publishing of this: but as all could not be free masons, goldsmiths, and principal workmen at the building of the temple, for then few of them should have lived, to have finished their work, or have seen the use thereof, and for that the commandment, necessity, and the godly end thereof, did move the meaner sort, therefore they brought timber, stone, mortar, rubbish, and necessary matter for the workmen, to make choice of: So in my well wishing to help, I could not combine with content, to take ease, and be absent from building, having no more gorgeous means, or curious matter, but against fear to offend Zoilus, Theon, and the curious crew, have posted this pamphlet, to pass for a welcome, to so many, as shall hereby feel themselves better moved, or any ways amended. In hope whereof I commend thee with my prayers to the physician of soul and body.

COMPLEXIONS Castle.  

CHAP. 1.  
WHereas the beginner, and preserver of all things, in his word doth will us to consider his creatures, even to the least, Ecclus. 42. v. 22. Oh how delectable are all his works, and to be considered, even unto the sparks of fire: and to praise him without being weary, Ecclus. chap. 43. v. 30. then how much more ought men daily with cheerfulness, and diligence, consider and regard the wonderful order of himself, even unto the least and basest member, or part, which is of more estimation, than a thousand sparks of fire, and more to be wondered at then any one element, because it consisteth most wonderfully of all the elements, and is that, for which they all, and all other things were made and ordained. Then seeing there is no earthly thing, that man should more regard and consider then himself, what means should any man think to be too much, to preserve this rare and wonderful order of man, in convenient, comely, and healthful manner? May not they be suspected for murderers of themselves, which for idleness, will not seek, for sparing cost, care not to seek, which upon malicious stomach, and brazen courage, contemn to seek in time, the means the Lord hath left, to preserve and continue that wonderful matter of man, in convenient order? Unto these it happeneth most commonly, when extremity of sickness hath entered their castle, and ruin begin to rush in, than none more diligent, none more liberal none more calm and tractable, when all labour cost, willingness, and pains cannot prevail. May not they be suspected of murder, who knowing a place infected with the pestilence, will presume to enter, either by reason of intemperancy, not fearing, or for gain give the adventure? May not they likewise be suspected of murder, which knowing their houses infected, not endeavour to use the ordinary means, either to shut it up, and to fly from it, citò, longè, tardè, or necessity constraining to tarry, then, and there, to seek the best means they may? May not they be condemned for murderers, which having plague soars, will press into companies to infect others, or wilfully pollute the air, or other means, which others are daily to use, and live by? The word of God commanded the leper to have his head bare, a covering for his lips, his garments burnt, and to cry, I am unclean, I am unclean, Leuit. 13.45. to the end he should be known, and not infect the air with his breath: then how much more ought they, to note themselves by especial signs, and to keep them from infecting the air, having sores much more ready to infect then any other disease. Furthermore, if man will not be careful and consider this wonderful order of his body, because he knoweth that it must perish, he must know that he must neither appoint nor prevent the time: beside he must know that it is the cage of his soul, which must live for ever, & therefore in honour of that being the image of God, keep the cage as clean as he can, neither break or dissolve the same, lest his soul, as an untimely bird, fly unto the hill. No body polluted with gross humours, either with excess, or defect of any humour, but it is more apt to grieve the soul, defile the soul, and offend the creator of body and soul. Doth not excess of choler cause men to rage? of phlegm to be dull & sleepy? of melancholy to frenzy? and subtlety of blood to wantonness? then perilous is the state of the body, whose spirits are possessed with the infection, a propagation many times to despair, and to forget all duty, without God's especial grace. Is not he a simple man, which will entertain a daily adversary to dwell with him, which they do, that admit bad humours to have domination in them, violating nature, or altering her, so as she is compelled to bring forth fruit like unto her changed state, that it may be said of some children in whom excess of raging, dullness, craftiness, wantonness, dropsy, leprosy, frenzy do reign: while my parents slept, and were not watchful to purge their natures, the enemy, the malignant matter caused these tars of bad fruit to be sown in me, which except grace do govern, will exceed, so as there will be little hope of any good fruit of me, because my soil is natural to bring forth bad fruit, being thus caused by my parents: quod natura mihi dedit aliernari nequeat, except Gods holy angel watch over me, and with the blast or breath of the holy spirit winnow away my corruption. Now therefore it behoveth parents to be no less careful to purge and make clean their bodies from hurtful humours, the causes of ill effects, than the husbandman hath to purge and cleanse his feed. If we have a trespass, or misdemeanour done in our goods or houses, we seek to amend it, but if bad humours do hazard our bodies, and adventure our bodies to bring forth bad fruit, or infruitles, before our time hazard death, we defer the ordinary means, disaduantaging nature, and art, her minister: carelessly cutting off the number of our days, which God hath numbered in his foreknowledge, and by mediate means to be continued with our great care, because he first cared for us, and daily continueth the same.   

CHAP. 2.  
THe law of nature calleth for a special care and regard, to preserve every member in order: for if she be distempered in the least, the principal members are disquieted, and consequently the whole body: then what special care ought man to have in preserving the natural, vital, and animal members, the cause of increasing, living, moving, continuing, and being, not only in office and duty one for an other, but all of them for man, and man for his maker. Many are not only careless to help nature in her order, but by excess daily do hurt her in themselves and others. God hath given her to thee, for thee, in thee, and with thee, to continue his appointed time, and hath made her a means to entertain strength, wisdom, knowledge, learning, delights, and pleasures: all which do lurk, if she do lower, all which do leave to be, if she be not to live, being the natural life of man. job. 34. v. 14. and in Levit. 17. v. 14. she is called a spirit, the next worthiest unto the soul in the service of God, thereupon it is said in the Psalm, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. This spirit which is the vapour of blood, and becometh vital, and animal, is the cage wherein the soul moveth: the liver, heart, and head, are the principal regions from whence the spirit into all other members and parts do pass, with the soul's power and effect, either good or bad, so that no member, neither the spirit, not the soul can say to either, thou didst this wickedness, or goodness without me, and therefore must receive alike. Now then for the excellency of nature's order pollute her not, distemper her not, but endeavour to continue her, as God hath framed and ordained means for her.   

CHAP. 3.  
THe law of man requireth of thee to consider, and endeavour to preserve thy body in convenient order: for the stipend it alloweth for him, that murdereth himself, is base regarded, and unreverent usage of the corpse, by marks upon their graves, in void and vild places, besides the loss of goods from wife & children. Let men therefore take heed least by their negligence, wilfulness, or covetousness, they be not guilty thereof, before God and in their consciences, and so be prevented of their continual joy, for preventing the Lords purpose hear a little while, which is to have a man to live the number of his days in holiness towards him, and in dutifulness to dispatch, what God himself, what king, country, and parents plead for: which they cannot do, that wilfully will take the means to shorten their days, or negligently omit the means, to able them to recover to continue their days. Thou art not only injured, either by taking the foresaid means, or likewise omitting the means: but God, the parents, king, and country may be injured, for great might be the glory, which God might gain by the rest of thy days, much might be the joy and comfort to thy parents, king, and country: therefore shorten not thy days wilfully, neither omit the means whereby there may be hope to redeem what wilfully or negligently thou hast hazarded to lose of thy appointed time. Furthermore, man is not only charged with this watchfulness, and care over himself, but he is charged with a care over others, especially over such as he hath charge: for if thou knowest the means to help to continue the number of another's days, and be able thereunto, thou must endeavour to do it, because thou must do, as thou would be done unto, and also hope of some of the fruits before named to come from that body: nay office, and duty, driveth every one to help others, from sickness, sores, or dangers. Art not thou which art a master or superior, bound to grieve for thy servant, and to relieve thy servant or inferior languishing, and yet labouring about thy business? art not thou inferior likewise bound to grieve, and endeavour to relieve thy superior languishing, and yet counseling and caring for thee? Now therefore let superior, and inferior endeavour to continue the number of their days, which to God (as I said) is certainly known, and to man uncertain: yet men must certainly know, that it is the ordinance of god, than not to be resisted, but in others, as well as in ourselves to be continued; by our best endeavours, because we are members one of another, and therefore ought sensibly to feel each others grief and passion.   

CHAP. 4.  
THe soul crieth unto thee to correct bad humours, and not admit them to reign: for when she would be gentle, mild, and patiented, the excess of choler, constraineth to rage and revenge, when she would watch and pray, the excess of phlegm, causeth sleepiness, and dullness: likewise the excess of other humours, or the confounding of humours, worketh effects more unkindly against the soul, for whatsoever is of the flesh, is oppugnant to the spirit, or soul, until it hath converted it, to bring forth together the fruits of the flesh, which are badges not only of an unregenerate man, but of a miscreant, in soul and body. Seeing then the law of God, thy own soul, nature, the law of man, parents, king, and country, command, and call unto thee to endeavour to preserve thy body, by the almighty his means left unto the, and by his means to correct excess of bad humours, and to amend their confusion, lest they here confounding, soul, conscience, and understanding, god at thy first death confound thy soul, and in the last general judgement, thy confounded soul carry thy flesh unto the place of confusion. Therefore it is most necessary for thee to know thy complexion, to know what humours abound in thee, or are deficient, or whether they, or any of them be confounded or shuffled with nature, causing alteration or confusion.   

CHAP. 5.  
TO define the pestilent fever, is but to reiterate others actions, neither much profitable to the unlearned: therefore I purpose to spend the time in that, which may tend unto the good of the most, with the least suspect of detraction or ambition. The pestilent fever is taken not only by infection in the air, infused by celestial orbs, and from putrefied places, in and upon the earth: but also by bad humours about the heart and ill affected spirits in the heart, whose aptitude doth entertain the said infection, yet not alike in all, for all than should die alike: but according to the complexion, it is taken sooner or slower, in greater quantity or less, and according to the virulent quality, or quantity in the air, taken sooner or slower, and according to the subject sooner or slower destroying: as in the humours about the heart, and the spirits in the heart, in the one slower, in the other sooner, because the vital and animal are destroyed more speedily: thereupon it cometh when any are thus wise affected, they are exceeding hot, they rage, they cannot stand, and die quickly, or suddenly, in the other, soores often times do save, because nature doth purge herself, by the emunctory places. But if they do not break forth, the virulent matter returning to the places about the heart, there doth remain, and kindleth exceeding beat, whereby the heart & spirits therein contained are inflamed, and all natural humidity thereby consumed.   

CHAP. 6.  
THe qualities unnaturally working in the air from the celestial orbs, and massy globe, are over much hotness and moistness, actively working in the air, and all three in the humours and spirits of man: the sooner, by the aptitude of complexion and season, or the time of the year, altering the qualities natural, both in complexion and air, in summer sooner, in winter slower, in the one, because there is exhalation, of putrefied vapours, and heat exceeding, causing it to be more virulent: in the other, because of the antiperistasin of the could quality in the air, which doth alter the hotness infused from above, and divert or turn back the hot putrefied quality lower into the earth, where the coldness of the earth doth alter it, and the dryness retain it.  
The substance or matter putrefying in the humours or spirits of man, is air impure: thicker than air natural, by reason of moisture, yet not so thick as water or mists; by reason of heat: hotter than air natural, yet not so dry by reason of excess of moisture.   

CHAP. 7.  
THe reason wherefore it doth putrefy in the humours or spirits of man, is the excess of heat or moisture, putrefied in the air, conveyed thither: the one inflaming, the other cause of continuing or retaining, by reason of the density or thickness. Secondly, aptness in the subjects to entertain the fame. And thirdly large passages to convey the same to the subjects, and in all, a disparance from the substance and qualities of the air, and of the natural humours and spirits in man.   

CHAP. 8.  
IF the substance of the air be infected, than not only men, but birds, beasts, herbs, and plants will die.   

CHAP. 9  
IF the air be infected in quality, than men, and birds may die by it, more or less, sooner or slower, according to the quantity of the virulent matter received, & according to the quantity of virulent and putrefied matter in the receiver, and according to the aptness in the subjects, either by large passages letting it in, and being within, inability of contrary qualities to expel the same.  
If putrefaction be in the quality of the air, that it is over hot and gross, or more hot than gross, as commonly it is, than it is good for the choleric and sanguine, to dwell in low rooms.   

CHAP. 10.  
THese are signs, showing the air to be infected in quality the next year following: in autumn before, there will be flashings of fire, and many meteors of unequal shapes, in the spring following could and little rain, in the spring and summer, the wind most southward, great heat in the day, and the night very cold.   

CHAP. 11.  
THese are the signs showing the air to be infected in substance and quality, the effect continuing summer and winter, and the next spring following: the reason is, if the air, the winter before, had been infected only in quality, than the contrary would have corrected it, which to judgement whas as able, as in other winters. Secondly, passions sensible felt and seen, in bodies, in the herbs, in the air, and from the earth, like as was the year or spring before. Thirdly, the event in places more general, where no means came, but the air to infect.   

CHAP. 12.  
IF the putrefaction proceedeth most of the earth or uppermost parts of the earth, as from stinking channels, standing lakes, privies, or other polluted places, as dunghills, unclean kept houses, and such like, then there will be felt many sudden great stinches, and unsavoury smells, such as cannot be distinguished, or discerned, what it is, or whereof it cometh, because it is confounded, being made of divers stinches: in that year there will be many frogs, toads, venomous worms, fleas, and flies.   

CHAP. 13.  
IF the putrefaction proceedeth from within the earth, then venomous beasts and worms will be seen more commonly above the earth, and will breed upon the earth, and many of them will die.   

CHAP. 14.  
THe putrefaction or virulent matter of infection now, is from celestial orbs principally, also from corrupt places, partly from corrupt humours in man, begotten by the two former, and ill order in feeding and sleeping, in idleness and late walking abroad, and sitting up.   

CHAP. 15.  
THe infection taken at the nostrils is more dangerous than otherwise, because there are two organs or passages that lead to the heart, from thence more, then from the mouth.   

CHAP. 16.  
THe putrefied air cannot pass so speedily to man's heart, as to divers other creatures by the instrument of smelling, which is covered with a pellicle or film, which is to be lifted up before he can smell by the air or fume: and that pellicle is grosser in man then in other creatures: and therefore requireth the hotter or stronger fume to move it. Secondly, the instrument of smelling is placed deeper in the head, then in any other creatures. Thirdly, the instrument of smelling is nigh the brain in man, which with the moisture doth hinder the natural complexion of the instrument of smelling, which is hot and dry, attractive or drawing unto it.   

CHAP. 17.  
IF the putrefaction in the air be more hot than moist, than it is more apt to destroy, and to be taken by the nostrils: first, because the heat is subtle, and passeth up speedily to the pellicle, and moveth with the fume or moisture. Secondly, for that the heat doth resist the coldness and moisture of the brain, the which are hinderers of smelling.   

CHAP. 18.  
The complexion aptest to be infected, is the sanguine, first, because the qualities in that complexion are like unto the qualities in the air, hot and moist, and therefore doth entertain the air the apt. Secondly, because these two qualities in this complexion maketh it more convertible, like the air, which will sooner be made hotter or moister than any of the other elements. Thirdly, because in this complexion, the passages leading to the humours about the heart, and to the vital spirits in the heart, are more large and spacious then in any other. The reason is, for that blood natural is not without his vapours, which cause motion, and where most motion of blood is, there is cause of extension, and the same is in this complexion.   

CHAP. 19  
The aptest time for this complexion to entertain the virulent matter into the humours, is in the former spring especially: for then blood increaseth, and passeth up and down, being not thoroughly refined, and made the readier by his motion and impurity to receive it.  
The aptest time for this complexion to entertain the virulent matter into the spirits vital is summer, by reason that the blood being made hot, and the spirits likewise hot, and air continually heating.   

CHAP. 20.  
This complexion may take the infection, although not at the nostrils or mouth, yet it may take it at the emunctory places, and at the pores in the skin in other places, which are more large and readier to be opened, then in the other complexions.   

CHAP. 21.  
The signs showing this complexion. Visage, white and ruddy, most red in the cheeks, eyes orderly placed, yet somewhat large ofttimes, veins blue and full, pulse full and great, urine plenty, red and ofttimes gross, siege, and sweat exceeding, digestion perfect, apt to bleeding and sleeping, willing to move, yet abstaining from motion, by reason of heat and sweeting, subject to dream of bloody things, and amorous toys, affable, affectionate, yet to be removed, well spoken, changeable in opinion, apt to have the yellow jaundice, heat under the lights, at the heart, and rains, stitch in the right side, subject to the colic, and then the hands and face will be full of srecks in many a one, of mean stature and comely for the most part, a lover of music and wines, effeminate, beard large and comely, delightful in himself, a lover of company and convertible with them, merry for the most part, hair of colour red or yellowish, subject to the fever called Synocham. This complexion having taken the infection in the humours about the heart, in the emunctory places, or at the pores in the skin, being come unto the blood, may best of any complexion have a vain opened.   

CHAP. 22.  
IF this complexion or any other, have the blood infected, the veins will be blackish, and not so full, as before in health, for that the good blood flieth inward to the sediment from the infection, and there remaineth subject to infection by little and little, as it goeth outward, or as the other runneth inward, the liver will be worse in this complexion, and consequently digestion imperfect, the body hot all over, more than in other complexions, because blood infected hath larger passage, then in other complexions. For as much as good blood is not without good vapour, and both of them, cause of vital spirit, and that cause of the animal spirits, by which two man liveth, and moveth, and is made more able to resist the virulent matter of pestilence: therefore it behoveth every complexion to cleanse his blood, & purge it from humours hurtful unto it, which these receipts following by God's help will perform.

CHAP. 39

CHAP. 40.

CHAP. 49.

CHAP. 50.

CHAP. 51.  
Let this complexion take heed in taking Mithridate, treacle, saffron, and such like, which oft times are means to inflame, and procure sores whereas there would be none, and the malignant matter, by less dangerous means, or by nature's ability might be prevented.   

CHAP. 52.  
The phlegmatic complexion is so called, by the two qualities in the water, cold and moistness, combined and predominant in a body; consisting likewise of the other three elements, yet principally participating of this, and thereupon hath the denomination phlegmatic, videl. cold & moist for the most part.   

CHAP. 53. Signs to know this complexion.  
The substance soft, foggy, quaving: the colour of the substance whitish, the proportion large, for the most part, or else exceeding gross: veins hardly seen, blood waterish, pulse slow, the body slow in motion, sleepy, dull, hair plain, seldom bald, not apt to learn, cowardish, spittle white, and after motion very frothy: urine gross & white, especially after great labour; subject to dream of watery things, as of fish and ponds: much superfluity or excrements by spitting and sweeting: the feet stinking, especially after motion: the body subject to his natural infirmity in February between the tenth day and the twentieth: this complexion is subject to pain in the head, loins, knees, privities, arms, and feet, by phlegmatic humours taking cold: fearful, timorous, the breast commonly without hair, seldom angry, not retaining anger, soon cold, the breast commonly narrow, and these are subject to the sickness of the heart, and much subject to a quotidian fever.   

CHAP. 54.  
This complexion is aptest to breed the infection, because moisture doth cause putrefaction, especially in the latter spring, and winter: because then phlegm reigneth, causing gross humours, that is to say, making blood thick, phlegm thick, and choler gross, retaining heat unnatural, which by heat in summer is made more hot and virulent expelling putrefaction. You must understand, that I writ upon the phlegmatic body, as he is said so to be naturally of phlegm, which is cold and moist, sweet, & white, without distinction in taste, for that tasteth all other things: the substance, the form, the passions, the accidents of the phlegmatic, which hath phlegm unnatural, are divers: for some is slimy, some salt, some viscous, some sour, plasterie, stiptic, thick, gross, some thin: before all or any of the which phlegm natural was, and by distemperature, it becometh as before, which for the most part, is by excess of phlegm natural, and by accidents coming to it.   

CHAP. 55. The diet for the phlegmatic.  
Hot things moderately used are good for this complexion, for they do attenuate and digest phlegm. Eat of one meat at a meal, if not, then eat the finest first, else the gross meats suffocate, and the finest lie undigested, by reason of the coldness in the stomach, which cannot digest the gross meats so speedily as other complexions. They must abstain from such meats as engender phlegm overmuch, and are cold and slimy, clammy or clung: new chief ill, all fish for the most part, the best are small fishes fried: the inwards of beasts ill, repletion or feeding to the full ill, for concoction in the phlegmatic is slower than others, and therefore they ought of all others to satisfy nature, not appetite. Idleness is ill, for agitation procureth heat and concoction, although it may be alleged that the stomach is never idle, nor out of motion in any complexion, and therefore not only the stomach, but all the body desireth not to move, but to be quiet and still: even as the water which moveth not, except the wind move it, or the straightens or highness of the place force it to move.   

CHAP. 56.  
These minerals are ill for this complexion to use, in regard of their coldness: quicksilver, lead, white lead, burned lead, spume of silver, or the drags of lead.   

CHAP. 57  
These stones are likewise ill for their coldness: the carbuncle called a corneol, the sapphire stone, the crystal, the granat stone, and this worst, the diamant, for it is cold in the fourth degree, likewise coral pearl is ill.   

CHAP. 58.  
Things cold in the first or second degree, or moist in the first or second degree, are not utterly to be forbidden to this complexion; because they work not extremely, but may properly be corrected, by things hot and dry in the second degree, and so made temperate. But things moist, or cold in the third or fourth degree, are seldom or never to be used: for their correctives must be equipollent, and then very often there happeneth to the qualities of the other humours, no little distemperature. Use this seldom, Mandrags, houseleek, henbane; these never, humblocke, poppy, golden-hearb (otherwise called orch:) forbear sorrel, lettuce, purslane, violets, waterlillies, endive, chicory, fumitory, plantin, borage, nightshade, white roses and red. Eat seldom of sharp oranges, pears, prunes: more seldom of gourds, cucumbers, of apples sharp and moist, pomegranates, lemons, millions, peaches, grapes. Use these sieldom, barley, millet (otherwise called Turkish wheat) mallowseed, rapeseed. Refrain from cypress wood, the Tamariske tree, lignum trium santalorum, verjuice, vinegar, and the juice of opium, the juice of an Indian tree called sanguinem dracovis, camphor. Those things which are cold and dry in the first or second degree, or cold in the first and second degree and dry in the third, may best be tolerated to be used in the time of pestilence of this complexion, then at other times.   

CHAP. 59  
These are convenient for this complexion, because they abolish phlegm from the liver and blood; wormwood, agrimony, fennel, hyssop, spick, margerom. These are convenient, because they do correct the cold quality of phlegm at the heart: balm, mint, sage, borage, bugloss, basel.   

CHAP. 60.  
These likewise are convenient for the breast; horehound, betony, maiden hair, the nettle, dragon wort, and of these many are convenient for the head and other places. It is good for this complexion to use Cinnamon, Frankincense, hops, calamynt, and sometime Rhue, and mace is good, (although it be hot in the third degree) because it is aromatical and cordial, water-germander, colewoort, pennyroyal, parsley, the roots of pennyroyal, carriot roots, galinga, fennel, rapes, zedoary, parsley, the sea onion, coriander seed, dill seed, anise seed, smallage, tocket, parsley seed, sweet Almonds, juiubs, cypress nuts, figs, capers, nutmegs, cloves now and then, flowers of rosemary, and lavender, saffron, but not often in the time of infection, melilot, slaechadoes, bugloss, camomile, the flowers of the sweet rush, the flower of our lady's rose, guarding pepper, jamine, sweet amber, and sperma caeti, (or parma caeti) the dry scum or froth of the sea; it is good to use the stone that glaziers cut their glass with, called an emrod, the Ancarcasite or fire stone, the blood stone.   

CHAP. 61.  
THis complexion may eat onions, and garlic orderly, so as there is no distemperance, in the natural humours by choler. Much use of salt, gross pepper with meats are convenient: greeneginger, and myrabolans condite, very convenient: keep the head and feet warm: dwell in high, and dry places: moderate sweeting is good.   

CHAP. 62.  
IT is very meet for this complexion, to purge once a year at the least, in the first spring when it is well entered, with this receipt following, finding no special cause to the contrary.  
R. Turpeti dr. 5. fol. sen. dr. 10. polypodiidr. 2. Hermodact dr. 2. s. rhubarb dr. 2. Zuigib dr. 1. cinamomi anisi ana scr. 5. when you have all these, slice them, and pound the anise-seede gross, then seethe them in a pint and half of water, until the third part be consumed, then take of it fasting three ounces, and put to it an ounce of syrup of roses laxative: take this three mornings together if you see that your body be not sufficiently purged in two mornings: which the excrements, and your dryness or sleepiness will show: if that slime, or water come not, or slime somewhat yellowish cometh and no waterish, or white slime matter, then purge no more. So soon as you have done purging take this, R. In lap yiolat un. 5. aq cinamomi aq. borag. sive endiviae un. 5. this will qualify the distemperature made by the purge, and will comfort properly.   

CHAP. 63.  
WIthin a fortnight after, to cleanse the blood, take this receipt: R. Cassiae noviter extractae, mellis ana. un. 5. infuse it in half a pint of sweet wine, in un. 2. of borage water, drink this two mornings fasting.   

CHAP. 64.

CHAP. 65.  
The perfume for this complexion, is to be made, and used as for the sanguine, saving, in stead of gum arabic, use the gum myrrh, and storax, or in stead of them gummi ammoniacum, as much as is convenient for the making of the mass somewhat liquid.   

CHAP. 66.  
A Pome for this complexion: R. Santalornus odoriferum d. s. fol. rosarum damasc. d. 2. Ambr. odor. gr. 3. calamynt. dr. 2. gummi Thuris dr. 2. macis d. 1. s. Anethi dr. 1. nucis moschat. d. 2. gariophillorum dr. 1. galing. d. 1. s. florum Chammomil. d. s. stirac. d. s. cinnamon d. 2. mosc. gr. 2. ladani d. 1. cum Terebint. in aq. rosarum & milissa lot. vel potius in liq. stiraces, fiat pom.

CHAP. 68 For the Choleric Complexion.  
WHereas some may think, that I should have placed choler next unto blood (according to the order of some writers:) first because choler, is the next proper begotten humour of blood: secondly, because his cell or receptacle, is the nearest to the blood: thirdly, because it is of the quality of the fiery element, which is as they account the worthier element, being the preserver, and purger, of most things: four, because it is the beutifullest, and the highest element in place. Yet because phlegm is the beginner, and begetter of blood, and blood of Choler, and melancholy: therefore, I account it, prius tempore, & ordine, sustinendo, although not ordine honoris & dignitatis, in making man: for when it taketh being in the womb, then are all humours together in that mass or lump, or else much of it perisheth, yet one predominant, secundum ordinem naturae producentis & effectum coeuntium & planatarum infusionem: so that none can be said to be before another, or more unworthy: because one without the other neither three without one can make a body neither continue it: therefore I think it no error.   

CHAP. 69.  
Choler exceeding in a body, giveth to the body, denomination accordingly, and causeth the body to have these two qualities exceeding the other, uz. hotness, and dryness, whose properties are attractive to draw unto it, therefore this complexion is apt to draw the infection and to join with it, because of the hot quality in the air natural, and moisture natural, conveying the unnatural heat, and moisture into the body, which heat natural and unnatural in the air, is entertained of this complexion, not only for the agreement of the quality in heat, but also, for the contrary quality of moistness to dryness, which would consume and destroy each other, as in fire and water, for every quality would have every substance to entertain it, and therefore cold, heat, moistness and dryness do infuse themselves into substances: and heat, cold, moistness and dryness the one contrary coveteth to deprive the other: as heat to deprive natural coldness, and moisture natural dryness, so doth unnatural heat and moistness, deprive natural could, and dryness, as in the pestilence.   

CHAP. 70.  
Signs showing this complexion: lean, of mean or little stature, hair black or dark, most commonly curled, eyes quick, colour of skin sallow, and in some body's ruddish, voice sharp, urine high coloured and clear, sharp or quick, of stout courage, soon angry, little sleep, dreams of fire, or fight, pulse swift, and strong, subject to the gout, especially in the legs, subject to a tertian fever, delight in wars, liberal in their youth, and middle age, but in old age covetous, desire to travel, desirous of venery, subject to palsy, apoplexies, and trembling.   

CHAP. 71. The diet for this complexion.  
Abstain from all occasions which may move unto anger, for that doth consume natural humidity. Abstain from much carnal copulation, for the exceeding heat doth send forth overmuch humidity. Fast not long, for choler must have to retain it, or else it consumeth natural moisture. Eat the gross meats first, (as the phlegmatic must eat the finest) because the gross will be undigested in the bottom of the stomach, and the finest digested above, causing annoyance by phlegm, by reason of the coldness of the stomach: so in the stomach of the choleric, if he eat the finest first, it will be scorched while the gross is digesting.   

CHAP. 72.  
IF thou be'st of this complexion, and have the head hot, use not the flowers of these: sage, melilot, lavender, betony, camomile, rosemary, the sweet rush, squinant, balm, scabiones: if thy breast be hot, use not the flowers of betony, the sweet rush, balm, nor scabiones: if thy heart be hot, use not rosemary flowers, balm, spikenard, bugloss, saffron, borage: if thy stomach be hot, use not the flowers of the sweet rush, squinant, rosemary, neither the flowers there of: if thy liver be hot, abstain from century, elder buds, betony, camomile, spike, the sweet rush, squinant: if thy splen be hot, take heed of the flowers of betony, and the flowers of the vine, of ripe grapes: if thy reins be hot or the bladder, use not the flowers of melilot, squinant, mallows, spike: if the matrix be over hot, use not the flowers of betony, squinant, sage, spikenard flower deluce: if the joints be over hot, use not the flowers of camomile, melilot, rosemary flowers, the primrose, or cowsloppe.  
If thy head be over hot, abstain from these herbs: calamint, fennel, bay leaves, margerom, pennyroyal, ruhe, savoury, and from the herbs which bear the flowers before forbidden for the head: if the breast be over hot use not betony, maiden hair, hyssop, balm, horehound, nettle, scabions: if the heart be over hot, use not these, borage, bugloss, balm, rosemary, Enusa campana, Basil.   

CHAP. 73.  
I If thy stomach be over hot, refrain from these herbs, woormewod, fennel, mint, sage, time If the liver be hot, refrain from agrimony, fumitory, hyssop, spike margerom, fennel, wormwood, folefoote. If thy spleen be over hot, abstain from calamint, doder, agrimony, cresses, especially guarding cresses, (for they are hot in the fourth degree) time, wormwood, hearts tongue. If thy reins be over hot abstain from Rocket, five leaved grass, saxifrage, spikenard, pellitory. If the matrix be over hot, abstain from mugwoort, calamint, rhue, savin, pennyroyal: if thy joints be over hot, abstain from camomile, mleilot, cresses, rhue, sage, agrimony, S. john's wort, costmary.

CHAP. 75.

Use sieldom cinnamon, frankincense: abstain from  wines, and hot wines. Abstain from these gums, the gum Ammoniacum, the liquor of the cedar tree, but carefully abstain from the gum Euphorbium, and the gum Belzoin. Of metals, these you may better endure then any complexion, the dross or spume of silver, quicksilver, and the dregs of lead, white lead.   

CHAP. 76.  
Of stones use these, the crystal, the carbuncle, the rubin, the stone sardin, the granat stone: in summer the diamant, in winter the sapphire, the Emeraud, the Hyacynth.   

CHAP. 77.  
Of plants, use Endive, chicory, lettuce, plantin, myrrh, fleewoort, beets, sorrel, knotgrass: when heat exceedeth use these, hemlock, poppy, but with direction.

CHAP. 86. The Melancholic complexion.  
Melancholy natural, is a humour, whose qualities are cold and dry, of the nature of the earth, the dregs of blood settled and severed from blood (as blood is from phlegm and choler from blood) all which at one time, were in one cell, the liver, and by ebullition or concoction, caused by contrariety of qualities in one substance and place, to be severed each from other to their proper cells: blood to the liver and veins, choler to the gall, and melancholy to the spleen, phlegm to the lungs.   

CHAP. 87.  
This complexion is least apt to take the infection for 3 causes: first the passages are straighter and narrower leading to the heart, and to the humours about the heart, then in any other complexion. Secondly by reason of the power and the qualities in the substance, cold and dryness, which are opposite unto the virulent quality in the air, excessive heat or moisture one or both continually resisting. Thirdly in regard of the disability of the qualities, unapt to take impression; as in cold marble, cold earth, & such like. The aptest times for this complexion to take it, is when heat and moisture most abound, as in the springs, for than is the quality in the air and in the humours most powerful to alter and overcome.   

CHAP. 88  
Signs showing this complexion, leanness, hardness of skin, colour duskish or whitely; pulse little, hair plain, seldom laughing, urine watery and thin, excrements siege or sweeting, little and stinking: much watchfulness, yet not so much as in the choleric: dreams fearful, in opinion stiff, digestion slow and ill, timorous, long in anger or dislike if it be begun, fretting much, subject to one days fever, by the unnatural heat in the spirits of the heart, then is the colour most pale: moveth slowly, shortness or straightness of breath, heaviness of head, and then the urine is over high coloured more than before, some heat is then over all the body: hair brownish, and sometime mixed with white hairs If this humour abound, then are fearful dreams, as fear of hurts or harm, death of friends, of pits and darkness, long fear without cause, cramps without repletion, heaviness of mind, sleepiness in the members.   

CHAP. 89.  
These things are convenient for this complexion; sweet almonds, almond milk, yolks of rear eggs, milk from the udder with sugar in it, wheat bread. Of souls; pheasant, hen, capon, field birds. Of fish; roaches, dares, gudgines, loaches, and such like: veal, young pork, red dear, swine's feet, calves feet, pease, pottage with mint, figs, raisins before meat, mint, rice, lettuce, chicory, grapes, wines moderately and well fined, bear or ale not over strong, mirth, brains of hens, chickens and young geese; it is good to keep this humour thin.   

CHAP. 90.  
These are ill, hard meats, dry meats or salt, sour, or scorched meats: coleworts, mustard, radish, garlic (except windiness annoy the body) much study, fear, sorrow, wrath, compassion, care, much rest: things grievous to see, to smell, or to hear, darkness ill, drying of the body howsoever, by watching, care, or lechery: much use of things hot & dry, especially if choler adust be in the body.   

CHAP. 91.  
Use these commonly: wormwood, borage, bugloss, beets, coleworts, camomile, agrimony, melilot, tinaria, spicknard, hearts-tongue, pellitory, endive.   

CHAP. 92.  
Use these likewise but not so commonly, Angelica, mugwoort, betony, balm, horehound, myrrh, rosemary, sage, seabions, lupulus, ivy, peucedanium, water germander, S. john's wort, lettuce, violets, arage, beets: as for other things which are hot in the third or fourth degree, use them with advise, when cold exceedeth.   

CHAP. 93.  
Use these commonly: sweet almonds, jujubes, the cypress nut.   

CHAP. 94.  
THese are good to warm the spleen: bitter almonds, capers, anise seed, caraway seed, watercresses seeds, sparage seed, fennel seed, gentian, the roots of pennyroyal, gladin.   

CHAP. 95.  
Things good for the liver, are likewise good for the spleen, because the spleen is hurt from the liver, and receiveth good from thence: therefore look in the sanguine complexion: things cold or dry in the second, or third degree, are not commonly to be used: and things cold and dry, in the third degree utterly to be refused, except in the time of pestilence, and except they be corrected never use them in winter.   

CHAP. 96.

CHAP. 103.  
Whereas I have set down receipts proper for every complexion, as well in purging, and altering the virulent quality in the humours apt to infect, and to be infected, and that in such manner, as the complexions may be more secure than by general receipts, because you may properly use the same, without danger, and offence to any quality in the hmours natural, which order every one cannot observe, neither is able: therefore I have set down receipts, respecting the good of all: because they are to purge, and alter the poisoning quality in the air, and in all humours.

CHAP. 113.  
Signs showing the heart or humours about the heart, to be infected with the pestilent fever, by the hot quality in the air.  
A vehement heat within, and without little or none: and if it be confirmed, the breath stinketh more than it was wont by much: pulse, urine, and digestion, do seldom declare it. There is heat of the breath, disquiet, and straightness of breath, the breast is felt to be narrower, and the breath is restrained, thirstiness, dryness of tongue, blackness of tongue, with pustulls or blisters upon the lips and tongue: trembling of the heart and pulse: the breath goeth short: and there is sometime a sounding, making the outward parts cold: sometime a dry cough, sometime there appear sores, of colour whitish, blue, and red: the digestion is thin, liquid, spumie, stinking, and unctuous: some do vomit, some have the flux, the urine is stinking.   

CHAP. 114.  
If the heart be possessed principally, with extreme heat from the air, than the body is commonly hot, except the liver prevent it, the pulse is swift in motion, much puffing or blowing, by reason the heart moveth so swiftly in this passion: the body commonly is foolish, and bold: this quality killeth soon, because it moveth with the spirits vital, and animal, most speedily.  
If the heart be infected with the virulent qualities of heat, and moisture, than the pulse moveth slower, likewise the breath. This destroyeth slower. And if there be equality of the qualities, than the body lingereth, and is long dying, or else soars commonly, save.   

CHAP. 115.  
Means to know who is infected with the pestilence. Take bole-armoniac dr. 1. of white wine un. 1. of rose-water un. 2. mixed these: take it fasting, (and fitting half an hour after) or before supper: if the body vomit, it is infected. And for further proof of this, (let the party that vomiteth upon the receipt,) breath into the mouth of a cock, and if the cock languish or die within twelve hours, than it is greatly to be feared that the body is infected.   

CHAP. 116.  
A means to know if any rooms be infected, and by the same, and the general perfume next before, to purge and cleanse the rooms: put two or three sheep into the rooms, three or four days before the full or change: and there continue them, until the next full or change: and then wash them, or one of them, in warm water: and put the water to wash or swill, or mixed, so as swine may drink it: and if the swine do die, the infection is most part taken out of the house: then perfume the house as before.   

CHAP. 117.  
If two, or more lie sick of the pestilence, and no soar appear; by this receipt following you may perceive which will live.  
Take of bole-armoniac, white wine, and rose-water, the quantity before mentioned, and add unto it, of saffron scr. 1. finely pounded, of mithridate scr. 2. and take it in manner aforesaid, and which of them vomit is like to die, and the other are like to live: this I lately proved at Wesson by Northampton, as the parents of two children can testify, to whom I told, that the body that did vomit, was in great danger to die, and the other was in hope to live: which came so to pass, and she which lived had a soar.   

CHAP. 118.  
Whereas they do most infect, which have sores, the air, and clothes continually receiving the virulent matter, and qualities from them; and the body most commonly able to walk into companies, and that without suspicion: therefore, by these means following they may be found out.  
If you suspect any, as you may justly, whhere some have died out of a house, or where the next house have had the infection, then do as followeth; Command them to stand upright, and to reach themselves upright: if they fail to do it, then suspect a sore in the back, belly, breast, or flanks: after that, presently command them, to lay their hands upon a door, or beam; if they hang more by one arm then by the other, or their necks hang awry, suspect a soar under the arm, upon the arm shoulders, or in the neck: presently after this, command them to walk up and down as fast as they can; if they halt, or step not largely, suspect a sore in the thighs, flanks, knees, back, or hips: presently after this, command them to bow down forward to the ground, and reach up something, not removing any foot, if they cannot, then suspect the flanks, or back: if they do perform all this, and be very short wound, having no other disease known; then suspect a soar to ensue, or the body very shortly to be in great danger by the pestilence.   

CHAP. 119.  
A brief order for those, which are shut up, and not able to use the means before set down: let them which are clear in the house, do as followeth: sleep little, for so thy body shallbe made more dry, rub thy thighs, and arms, morning and evening, and if you can against the fire, so shall the humours about the heart with the blood, be outward, apt to be sweat out at the emunctory places. Let thy bread have the third part barley, which is cooling and drying, let thy drink be for the most part, (especially in the end of dinner and supper) of a ptisme made with barley, as followeth:   

CHAP. 120.  
Take a pint of barley, and 4. pints of running water, beat the barley until the husk departed, then when you have winnowed it, put it into the water, and there let it continue, until it begin to boil, then take the barley from the water, and put it into a vessel wherein is eight pints of water ready to boil, or very hot: let it boil until you think that two or three pints be wasted, then strain it, and afer it be cold, keep it in a stone bottle or pot; and when you drink of it, put into your draft, if it be half a pint, a spoonful or some deal less of vinegar: and if you be cossive, put into it of sugar half a quarter of an ounce or a little more, order it so as it be neither over sharp, nor over sweet, and if you infuse all night an ounce of Tamarandes in half a pint of your ptisme, and drink it fasting, it is very good.   

CHAP. 121.  
Use vinegar with your meats, use the pills of aloes mentioned before: when you make your beds, and in the morning when you rise, smell to a sponge, or cloth dipped in vinegar: keep no water in the house long, neither suffer wet places in the house, for moisture will putrefy by the virulent air, where the sun or fire cometh not: eat no herbs, or very few, neither have them in your house, walk not early, or late in the air, lie not on the side of the house, where the sun shineth most; (although the sun be a means to purge the air) for that draweth the infection to the room, and heateth the place, which if it retaineth any that is not exhaled or altered, than it is apt to infect, remaining in the air in the rooms, after the departure of the sun and not in other solid matters, as bodies, clothes, or such like, to the which the air will convey it in the night more speedily after the departure of the sun.   

CHAP. 122.  
Forasmuch as I have spent more time about preservatives, then about the cure: my reason is, because no man can do that certainly, except he see the passions, aswell to know whether it be in the way to be confirmed at the heart, or whether it be confirmed: and then no cure. Secondly in some body's complexion, fear, grief, or other infirmities, cause it to be more sharp, and strange at one time, than another, and in one body more than another. Thirdly, the epidemial or pestilent fever, never ceaseth to make impression, to corrupt, and poison, because the body is apt and disposed to take it, but in what quantity the absent physician cannot certainly tell, therefore no certain cure: the securest way is, to have the physician present or not far from thee, who may use means accordingly: for so long as it is in the way to be confirmed, so long is there hope, by things which exceed the impression, and may make the body more unapt to entertain and keep it: and lastly rectify and confirm what is decayed.  
HEre ensueth a table collected out of Pythagoras, with certain brief notes added thereunto, whereby may be known in all humoral diseases (without sight of urine or patiented) what part of the body is ill affected, what humour aboundeth, & causeth the passion. Which being known, you may look into the discourse of the complexion, there shall you find what is to correct the offending humours, and to purge the peccant matter: what diet is to be used, and what hurtful things are to be avoided. For the finding out of the cause, and the affected place: you are to inquire what day the body did first feel any passion or grief, then look for the planet that ruleth that day, (as Saturn according to the Greeks) beginneth to raignne between xii. and 1. of the clock in Sundays night, and continueth until xii. of the clock in Saturdays night. jupiter beginneth to reign at xii. of the clock in fridays night, and reigneth until xii. of the clock in Thursday's night. So likewise is Mars for Tuesdaye, Sol for Sunday, Venus for Friday, Mercury for wedensday, and Luna for monday. Look in the Almanac in what sign Sol is in that month wherein the patiented fell sick, then in what sign the moon is that day wherein he fell sick: this being done, look in the highest column of the day for the planit wherein he felt his passion first: then look in the first column for the sign the sun is in in that month, and for the sign the moon was in that day when he first fell sick, and against the signs, in the column right under the planet of the day, shall you see the places ill affected. As for example, one falleth sick upon a humoral disease, the 21. day of May being monday in the year of our Lord 1604. the sun being in Gemini, the Moon in Cancer, Luna being the planet of that day: now in the column right under Luna, and against Gemini, may you see arms ill affected. In the column right under Luna, against Cancer, may you see head and stomach ill affected. In the page following may you see Luna, and under that shall you read the cause, with the affected places.

Sol  
Yellow choler aboundeth, pain at the heart and rains most, all the members are grieved: the body exceeding hot, little or no sleep.   

Lunae  
The head infected with phlegmatic humours, pain in the loins, pain in the right side and in the lungs, dull and sleepy, the cause cold and moistness, great danger.   

Mars  
Heat in the rains, head, lights, & the kings evil to be feared: the cause yellow choler, beginning to be adusted causing hotness and dryness.   

Mercury  
Lungs grieved, breath drawn short with pain, the body and senses troubled, swelling in the body, pain in the loins: the cause of great heat taking cold.   

jupiter  
Great heat in the liver, and under the lights about the right side, he hath the fever Synocham: the cause is putrefaction of blood, by excess of blood and distemperature in the same.   

Venus'  
The liver, reins, stones, backbone pained, and under the belly grief: the cause cold and moistness, but most cold if it be a man, otherwise cold and moistness together in the other sex.   

Saturn  
The stomach, loins, and spleen ill: the first passion felt in the spleen: if it continue 8. days all the body will be likewise grieved: the cause told and dryness, begun in the spleen, and like to continue long.
