A most excellent remedie to helpe the flux of the body, with a cer∣taine discourse thereon.

IF thou wilt helpe the flux of the body, it were necessary to know first from whence it proceedeth, for he that knoweth not the cause, is lesse to be credited to cure the effect, and there∣fore I will shew thee what the Flux is, and from whence it com∣eth, and then I will shew the order to cure it, and also to make the Medicines.

The Flux of the body is caused of a superfluous heat con∣ceived in the stomack, the which make a continuall solution inwardly, as yee may see by experience of those that are troubled therewith, for so long as the cause is not taken away, all their meat doth turn into that matter, the which if it be so, that is true which I doe say, that the Fluxes are a distempe∣rance of the body, caused of hot and corrupt humours in the stomack, and therefore if thou wilt cure it, it were necessary to extinguish the heat, and to take away the corruption, the which thou shalt doe with the rednesse of Marte Militare written in this book following; for that is the most soveraign remedy that can be found But first yee shall take twelve grains of our Petra Philosophale, with ℥. ss. of Mel Rosar••m, and then take for four mornings together one scruple of the red∣nesse of Marte, with ℥. ss. of Sugar Rosat, and therewith thou shalt work miracles.
