The Prognosticks.
Although many have this disease without danger, yet the cure hereof must not be neglected, least a worse disease follow: For as * 1.1Hippocrates saith, if an Erisipelas being outward, be returned inwards, it is evil; but if on the contrary, if being inward it be turned outwards it is a good sign.
If strong repercussive, or repelling means be used in the begin∣ning of the disease, it is dangerous least the humour strike inward, and so indanger the life of the party.
If this disease appear in the head, it is more dangerous then in other parts; because if the matter passe to the membranes of the brain, it cause a Frenzie, if to the muscles of the neck, the Quinzie.
