A most Soveraign Water, which hath all the ver∣tues of Venice Treacle or Mithridate, and far surpasseth them.

Take a Composition made by the best Apothecaries called, Antidotus magnu•• Mathioli, take of it two ounces, and put it into the best Spirit of Wine, and let it stand a whole week, and stir it often, and it will be an Amber colour; then poure off the clear, and put unto it the equal weight of Sirrup of the rind of Pomecitron, and keep it close. This Water is most excellent against all poisons, and helpeth when all other Remedies fail; if you take three or four or more spoonfuls, as occasion re∣quireth, and sweat upon it; for it pierceth quickly through the whole body, and draweth the poison from the heart; it is good in the Plague time; and if you take a spoonful of it, it preserveth you from all▪ poison or infectious air; it strengthneth the heart, brains, stomack and all the inward parts wonderfully; and it is the best water to drive any venom from the heart in the Plague time or in infectious airs; take a linnen cloth and dip it into it, and smell unto it, and take some of the Antidote, and as much of the Water, and put some Cloves, Benjamin, Amber-greece and a little Musk unto it until it be thick like a paste, and smell unto it. And you may be sure, that using the Water in the morning, and smelling often unto it, no

Plague shall hurt, nor infect you, as hath been proved by experience upon those that have been stung with Snakes, and almost past all cure and sense, and understanding, yet have been by this recovered.
