THE EPISTLE To the Reader.  
COURTEOUS READER,  
IT's a very sad and lamentable thing, even against the Course of Nature, and a way to tempt the very GOD of Nature, wilfully to impead and hinder our Health, or not to seek Means to continue it when we have it, or not to recover it when it's lost and gone. God sends several Diseases and Sicknesses, and hath appointed several Medicines or Remedies to encounter them; Therefore honour the Physician, and with Ezekiah, Lay a plaster upon the Boil. Say not, Man hath his period as well as the Sea its bounds, which it cannot pass. What God hath decreed, is already done in Heaven, and shall also undoubtedly be done in Earth. Who hath ever resisted his will? Rom. 9.19. Say not, Life and death is not in our own hand; for some seek death in misery, yet find it not; others meet with it at Feasts and Gaudies, and where they would feign forget it. Say not, When the Glass is run, do what we can, we can stay no longer, and the Clock will strike when the minutes be past. That which must be, shall be, what shall means do? For, by the like reason thou mayst excuse thy wickedness, and be desperately careless. But in matters of Hope where the End is not known, use Means with Asa, though rely not upon them, (as he did:) Although many times they avail not, yet notwithstanding take we all the fairest ways of all lawful Remedies, when God's Determinations and Purposes are concealed from us. Thou hast (Courteous Reader) in this little Book, most exquisite Medicines and Remedies presented to thy view, for divers (if not all sorts of) Diseases and Maladies incident to Man's frail and weak Body; It's therefore thy duty to make a right and dexterous use thereof. Here is a Price (a precious Jewel) put into thine hand, God grant thou want not an heart, to lay bold of it. Thou needest not waste thy Estate, or spend all thou hast upon Physicians, and yet be ne'er a whit the better for't, as she in the Gospel is said to have done, Mar. 5: 16. Lo, here is Physic for every Patient, a Salve for every Sore, a Cure for every Wound, a Medicine for every Disease, and a Receipt or Remedy for every Malady; and it to be had at a very cheap and easy rate: So that even the meaner and poorer sort of People, who for want of ability, cannot go to the Physicians for cure in time of Sickness and Visitation, may find eaese and comfort by perusing this small Treatise, as well as those that are of greater abilities. But to what purpose do I spend time, or waste paper in praising or commending this little Book? The thing is able sufficiently to speak for, and to commend itself. It was truly and wisely said of one that was a most learned Physician, That Morbi non curantur eloquentiâ, multò minùs loquentiâ: Diseases are not healed with Eloquent speeches or Rhetorical flashes, much less with vain babbling or multiplicity of words. Therefore not to insist too long upon Introductions or Preambles, lest it should be said to me as once a flouting Cynic said to the Citizens of Myndus, a little City with great Gates: Shut your Gates lest your City run out; I take my leave, and rest  
Thine in all Offices of Love and Service T. A.

But the use thereof is not alike wholesome and good for all Bodies: for unto them that are Lean, and of a dry Nature, and in the Summer it is rather hurtful then good; because it drieth too much the inner parts, especially the Liver, and radical Moisture: But to old men, to gross, and moist Bodies, it is very profitable, for it fortifieth the Stomach, comforteth excremental humours; discusseth Wind, and defendeth them from the Lethargy, Apoplexy, and other cold diseases, unto which by reason of their moist habit of Body they are very subject. Wherefore the moderate use thereof is to be permitted to cold and phlegmatic bodies, especially in cold and moist seasons, upon taking too much meat: and when the Stomach shall be troubled with Wind, the quantity of a spoonful or two at a time, well sweetened with Sugar, and if it be taken with an equal portion of Wormwoodw-ater, as a spoonful or two of the one, and so of the other with Sugar also, comforteth the Stomach exceedingly, helpeth the Concoction, and discusseth Wind, without causing any manner of hurt to the Liver. And being taken in this manner after a great Meal, or whensoever the Stomach shall be illaffected by reason of Windiness, or otherwise. It is not only good for the Phlegmatic, and such as are cold by Constitution, but agreeable and wholesome for all other Bodies: But such as are intensively hot and dry in their state of Body. If they stand in need of the help thereof, it is best to take two parts of Wormwood water, and one of Aquavitae mingled with Sugar, and so they may securely and profitably use it.

A Physical Course to be observed in Plague-time, by those that are visited with the Sickness.  
SO soon as any apprehend themselves taken with the Plague, let them go into their warm bed, and take this ensuing Medicine, viz:  
Take of Verben with the Root dried and powdered 2 drachms, and of the Juice of Verben 3 ounces, half a spoonful of White-wine-vineger, mingle all together, and let them drink it warm, and sweat for 2 or 3 hours. But let them not sleep during the time of their sweeting: And whilst they sweat, let them hold under their Armpits, and upon the either Enunctories, especially the groins, a Radish-root, divided into 2 parts: the same Root is to be tied unto the Plants or hollow of their Feet, when they have sweat well, for 2 or 3 hours, according to the strength and age of the Patient: dry their bodies well with warm and clean linen-cloths, beginning with the Armpits and groins, than the Breast, whereon after the sweat is well wiped away, lay a fresh and clean linen Napkin doubled. That done, let them wash their mouth, face and hands with water and vinegar, and drink a good draught of Mutton-broth made with Rosemary, Thyme, Sorrel, Chicory. If their stomach will give them leave, they may eat a little Mutton or Veal at dinner, but they are to forbear Flesh-meat at suppers. Instead of broth, Water grewel with Rosemary or Burnet will do well, or thin Pannada. For their drink, let it be small or 6. shill: Beer warmed with a Toast; or water boiled with Carduusseed, and Caroway seed, and the roots of Scabius and Verben, with a crust of bread. Then let them rest, or sleep, washing their mouth often with water and vinegar. They may likewise make a Quilt with Balm, Mint, Rosemary, Sage, Sweet-marjoram dried: and sprinkling it with vinegar of Worm wood or Herbgrace, or ordinary wine vinegar, apply it to the region of the heart warm.  
After 8 hours from the first invasion of the Plague, let them take another sweeting Medicine, viz: Take of the Powder of the Root of Dictamne, Scabius, Gentian, of each half a drachm, of the seed of Carduus Benedictus, 1 scruple, the Juice of Marigold flowers, and Devilsbit, of each 2 ounces, half a spoonful of Vinegar, of Rue or Wormwood, or, in want of them, of ordinary White-wine-vineger. Let the sick parties drink this warm, and sweat again (as at the first time) 2. or 3. hours, keeping in the mean time a Radish-root at the Emunctories, as before. Then let them dry off the sweat, wash the mouth, face and hands, and take some convenient nourishment, and carry themselves as in the first interim of 8. hours.  
Again the third time, after the like pause or interval, let them take another sweeting, and Cordial Medicine in this manner, viz:  
Take of the Seed of Rue or Herbgrace a scruple and a half, of the roots of Enula Campana, Valerian, Fuller's Teasels, Aristolochia the round, of each half a scruple, of the Juice of three-leaved Sorrel called Allebia two ounces, of the juice of Rue, and Scabius, of each an ounce, and a little of the forenamed Vinegar.

But if any be in that extremity of poverty, that they cannot procure these easy and cheap Medicines, let them drink twice a day a draught of their own Urinal, viz: in the morning, and at 5 a clock in the afternoon.  
If in the first, 2d, or third day the Botches or Carbuncles appear, then follow the direction given in pag. 120. and by the help of God you shall undoubtedly recover, unless the poison have too much already possessed the Heart.  
But as a Corollary and conclusion to the whole, take this caution along with you: see that you tamper not too soon with the Botches or Blains, before they be well come forth, and nature well cleared and relieved; but rather continue in the taking of inward Cordials, and sweeting Medicines. The overhasty applying of Topical and outward Remedies, especially if they be forcible and sharp, (which is too usually practised by some Physicians and Chirurgeons, and by Patients themselves) do ofttimes by causing pain, increasing the Fever, and weakening Nature, drive back and scatter the Venom into the inward parts, which suddenly by a second assault, and encounter, surpriseth the Fort of Life, the Heart, and carrieth away the Patient.
