A speciall Remedy for the Plague, and how to make any kind of Swelling or Plague-sore to break.

TAke a pint of strong Beer, and crums of Rye Bread, one handfull of Mallows, white Lillie-roots a great lump or knob: Beat all these together with some quantity of Lin∣seed until it become a Cataplasm or thick pap, and spread it upon a linnencloth, and lay it on the Bile or sore. If the Swelling or Sore be ripe and continue a long while before it break, then lay some Corrasive upon it, es∣pecially upon Plague-sores. When the Bile or Sore is broken through, or the Corrasive hath wrought and produced a Core, then lay thereon this Tent-salve or Oyntment, as fol∣loweth. Take Honey and Turpentine, but let the Turpentin be set on the fire in a little Pip∣kin, and stir it continually, and mingle with it a small quantity of Honey, and when it's melt∣ed▪ take it off from the fire, and stir it still untill it beginneth to wax somewhat stiff, and then mingle therewith the yolk of an Egg with a little flower, then spread it upon a flat tent very thick as broad as the hole or wound is: then lay upon it the aforesaid

Cataplasm or Pap, untill all the corruption or filthy matter be quite drawn out, then heal it with the hard Salve, of which we shall treat anon: if there be any heat in or about the sore, anoynt it round about with a white ointment called in the shops Ʋnguentum Nutritum, of which also we shall give directions anon how to make it. If any Plague-blains or sores do appear, you must lay the aforesaid Tent-Salve thereon, and anoint it round about with Ʋnguentum Nutritum. Afterward take Sor∣rel & roste or boil it in a pan in the Embers with a little butter wrapped up in a Cabbage-leaf, lay it a little warm thereon. But when you at first feel the said dangerous disease coming upon you, use Mithridatum with the Water of Carduus Benedictus, or take of Bezoar-stone, the quantity of 6. or 7. grains mingled with Beer or Wine, and sweat upon it. This is a wonderfull excellent Remedie for the Plague.
