Prognostiques.

The Plague of all other diseases is most dangerous: for although the signes be good, yet suddenly the patient dies. The danger is the greater, if no pushes, or carbuncles breake out in the body. And though they do breake out, yet if the patient be not thereby eased, nothing but death can be expected. It is also as dangerous, if the pushes hauing broke out, do runne in againe. This disease is consummated and brought to its full ripenes in 24 houres, but is not so soone cured; if a cold sweat arise on the body, and the face and eyes doe looke blacke, and the spirits are cast downe, & the patient vomits extraordinarily, and the excrements that are voyded be diuersly coloured, it is a signe of death. They which talke idlely with amazednes, a kind of conuulsion and phrensy, for the most part die.
