           THe

           of
           this
           Kingdome
           ,
           I
           have
           found
           to
           bee
           more
           malignant

           so
           that
           many

           but
           especially
           children

           miserably
           died
           of
           them

           because
           for
           the
           most
           part

           joyned

           as
           it
           doth
           plainly
           appeare

           I
           have
           likewise
           observed
           that

           they
           are
           dangerous
           ,
           if
           inwardly
           taken

           but
           if
           they

           outwardly
           applyed

           remedies
           at
           this
           time

           But
           how

           the
           Pestilence
           hath
           many

           But

           then
           shortly
           after
           the
           Pox
           will
           begin
           to
           shew
           themselves
           .
           But
           they
           will
           not
           bee
           many
           although
           every
           one
           of
           
           them
           will
           be
           far
           greater
           then
           the
           small
           Pox
           do
           use
           to

           yet
           none
           of
           them
           will
           pit
           except
           they
           be
           much
           tampered

           But
           if
           so
           be
           that
           those
           which
           have
           white
           heads
           do
           burn

           rage
           extreamly
           ,
           you
           may
           prick
           their
           heads
           with
           a
           Needle
           and
           let
           out
           the
           corruption
           :
           there
           is
           nothing
           else
           to
           be
           done

           they
           are
           come

           and
           the
           Fever
           abated
           but
           that
           they

           now
           hot

           in
           the
           beginning
           they
           would

           so
           that
           there
           is
           nothing
           but
           a
           miserable
           death
           likely
           to
           follow
           ,
           oftentimes
           accompanied

           .
        
         
         
           This
           evill
           is
           much
           practised
           by
           those
           women
           that
           pretēd
           they
           wil
           drive
           the

           Pox
           further

           when
           they
           are
           come
           out
           already
           .
           Wherefore
           they
           do
           but
           beget
           the
           Fever
           again
           ,
           and
           where
           there
           are
           but
           ten
           they
           will
           make
           a
           thousand
           .
           Therefore
           be
           carefull
           in
           this
           case
           ,
           what
           you
           do
           ,
           and
           give
           to
           the
           sick
           every
           hower
           nothing
           else
           but
           two
           or
           three
           spoonefulls
           of
           Rose
           water
           ,
           sweetened
           with
           a
           little
           sugar
           .
           This
           will
           coole
           the
           body
           ,
           quench
           the
           Fever
           ,
           cause
           rest
           ,
           and
           then
           a
           stoole
           ,
           and
           thereby
           the
           sick
           shall
           recover
           presently
           .
           By
           these
           meanes
           I
           have
           cured
           many
           very
           suddenly
           that
           have
           been
           dangerously
           sick
           in
           all
           mens
           sight
           even
           to
           Death
           ,
           as
           many
           in
           the
           City
           can

           As
           I
           have
           warned
           you
           not
           to
           give
           many
           hot
           things
           when
           the
           small
           Pox
           are
           come
           forth
           ,
           so
           I
           would
           have
           you
           beware
           of
           giving
           those
           that
           are
           very
           cold
           ,
           as
           the
           waters
           of
           Plantane
           ,

           and
           the
           like
           ;
           which
           (
           as
           I
           have
           Knowne
           )
           have
           relieved
           many
           for
           the
           present
           ,
           and
           wrought
           an
           admirable
           cure
           in
           the
           sight
           of
           the
           common
           people
           ;
           but
           by
           their
           cold
           qualities
           ,
           they
           have
           so
           congealed
           and
           setled
           the
           humours
