NOt long after, the only sonne of the aforesaid Apothecarie, (whose name was Nathan Dar∣bey) 17. yeares of age, was likewise taken with a violent burning feuer. He had the aduice and coun∣sell not onely of the said Physition before specified, but also of many other of the Colledge. But the pati∣ent grew worse and worse, and at length became speechlesse, and was as it were vpon the threshold, to take death by the hand. The father then, though in despaire of his sonne, yet hauing seene the former ef∣fect, came hastily vnto me, in the Sermon time (being then the Sabbath day) imploring my aide for his sonnes recouerie, if yet it were possible. His com∣plaints preuailed. I gaue his sonne of these materials, iterated by degrees as the case required. God blessed the meanes, and he recouered.
