The 139. Chapter doth shewe of a Feuer quartaine.

FEbris quartana be the latin wordes.* 1.1 In English it is na∣med a feuer quartaine the which doth infest a man eue∣rie thyrd day, that is to say, two daies whole and one sicke, and there may be a double quartayne.

The cause of this impediment.

This impediment or Feuer doth come of melancholy, or els of coler adusted, & if the blacke Iawnes be concurrant with it, it is a difficile sickenes to make one whole.

A remedy.

First purge melancoly, and vse the pilles of Inde once or twise a wéeke, & take oft of the Sirupe named in latin Si∣rupus de thimo, and for the heate, and for the inflacion of all maner of Agues, or feuers, vse the infection of prunes, and a Iulib of violets. And in all maner of feuers, first purge the cause, for euery Feuer either doth come of the malice of blud or of fleume, or of coler, or els of melācoly. It may come also of mixt humour, & do as I haue rehersed in a feuer tercian.

Febris acuta et continua, al is one, and that thing that wyll helpe Sinochos, will helpe this.
