The Prognosticks.
It is better to have the small Pox or Measels come forth speedily then to be long in coming forth; for this sheweth strength of nature.
If after they be come forth, the feaver and other symptomes do decrease, tis a good sign.
If the spots be white, or red, and full, coming to maturity or ripenesse, 'tis good; but if they be blew or black, livid and fall flat, whether few or many, 'tis a bad sign.
If fainting of the spirits, or swoonings, fluxes of the belly, shortnesse of breath, black urine, or Convulsions happen, 'tis worst of all.
If the feaver increase after they be come forth, and they flash abroad not ripening speedily, and if hoarsenesse follow, these are very bad signs.
