An Approved Good Drink for the Pestilence
Take six spoonfuls of Draggon-water, two good spoonfulls of Wine-Vineger, two penny weights of English Saffron, and as much Treacle of Gene, as a little Walnut, dissolve all these together upon the fire, and let the Patient drink it blood-warm, within twenty hours or sooner that he is sick, and let him neither eat nor drink six howres after, but lye so warme in his bed, that he may sweat, this expelleth the Disease from the heart, and if he be disposed to a sore, it will streightwayes appeare, which you shall draw out with a Plaister of Flos Unguentorum.
