Against al poison eaten or drunken. Cap. 81.

HAuing knowledge that any man is poiso∣ned, the chiefe remedy is to make him vo∣mite the poison, in giuing him oile Oliue luke warm to drink alone, or mixt with warme water. And if you haue no oile, giue him butter with hot water, or with the decoction of Linseed or the seed of netles, or of Semigrecū, & al these thinges purge the venom as wel downeward as vpward. After, hauing made him vomit diuers times, you must purge him with sharp glysters downward. Then giue him water mixt with honey, and also old wine enough to drinke. But if you can get good Triacle or Metrinate, they are the principall against poisons, with Terra sigillata, Acorne shels, and giue it him in good wine. Let his meat be the fat flesh of old beasts, and fat broths, specially of hens and fat fish, and let him not sleepe: And in continuing with this means, he shal be deliuered by the help of God.
