sublimate dragme ij. Infuse them altogether in a glass
for þe space of 8 days. þe dose in an ounce j every mornin[g]
untill þe party be cured. This drink is only for þe French
5pox and never faileth. There was a Musician in Lincoln, who
was so full of pain, þat he could not stir. I gave him this wate[r]
for 3 mornings and he was perfectly cured. It is true þat I gave hi[m]
before for 5 days þe decoction of Coloquintida and Sarsaparilla
As also in the same town I did cure a woman
10þat was full of pustules with this water. This
Water caused this woman to vomit very much:
both her throat and cheeks were much swelled
and her teeth began to fall out; I know not þe
cause why þe Mercury being well corrected
15should work such an effect: for I have used it
diverse times since and before with very good succe[ss]
and never once þe like accident: but perfectly
cures any person in short time. This woman
in þe end notwithstanding was cured by this
20means without any other help: therefore I persuade every one to take this Mercury because
it doth cure quickly.
