The works of the Reverend and learned John Lightfoot D. D., late Master of Katherine Hall in Cambridge such as were, and such as never before were printed : in two volumes : with the authors life and large and useful tables to each volume : also three maps : one of the temple drawn by the author himself, the others of Jervsalem and the Holy Land drawn according to the author's chorography, with a description collected out of his writings.

VERS. XXVI.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

And had suffered many things of many Physicians.

AND it is no wonder: for see what various and manifold kinds of Medicines are prescribed to a woman labouring under a flux. e 1.1 R. Jochanan saith, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Bring (or Take) of Gum of Alaxandria the weight of a Zuzee. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 And of Alum the weight of a Zuzee. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 And of Crocus Hortensis the weight of a Zuzee. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 let these be bruised together, and be given in Wine to the Woman, that hath an issue of blood, &c.

But if this does not benefit, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Take of Persian Onions thrice three logs, boile them in Wine, and then give it her to drink, and say 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Arise from thy flux.

But if this does not prevail, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Set her in a place where two ways meet, and let her hold a cup of Wine in her hand; and let somebody come behind her, and affright her, and say, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Arise from thy flux.

But if that do no good, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Take a handful of Cummin, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 And a handful of Crocus, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 And a handful of Foenum Graecum. Let these be boyled in Wine, and give them her to drink, and say, Arise from thy flux.

But if these do not benefit, other Doses and others still are prescribed, in number Ten or more, which see, if you please, in the place cited. Among them I cannot omit this.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Let them dig seven ditches: in which let them burn some cuttings of such Vines, as are not circumcised; that is, that are not yet four years old. And let her take in her hand a cup of Wine. And let them lead her away from this ditch, and make her sit down over that. And let them remove her from that, and make her sit down over another. And in every removal you must say to her, Arise from thy flux, &c.
