If you think your self to be infected, take one spoonful of this at a time morning and e∣vening luke-warm, but if not infected, take it but once or twice a week at the most, half a spoonful at a time, in any Plague time; and when they that are in∣fected take this, let them lye down and sweat two or three houres in the bed; and when they be well dryed, and warm kept, let them drink none but warme Drinks or Caudles, and so by Gods assi∣stance they shall be well. This Drink will keep good half a year if it be close kept.
