r as great & strong wine, (37) ale, or bere, so
longe do burne as there is matter in theim apte to be burned,
and then cesse when that whiche remainethe is come againe to hys
firste nature: that is, to suche water clere & vnsauery, as
either the bruer receiued of the riuer, or vine of the earth:
euen so the body so longe continuethe burnynge and sweatynge,
as their is matter apte therefore in the spirites, and then
leaueth, when the corrupcion taken of the finest of the euill
blode is consumed, and the spirites lefte pure and cleane as
they were before the tyme of their corruption.

This done, and the body by sufficient sweate discharged of the
venime, the persone is saulfe. But if he by vnrulines & brekyng
his sweate, sweateth not sufficiently, then he is in daunger of
death by y^t venime that doth remaine, or at the leaste to sweat
ones againe or oftener, as many hath done, fallynge in thrise,
sixe tymes, yea, xii. tymes some. If sufficiently the sweate be
come, you shal know by the lightnes & cherefulnes of the body,
& lanckenes in all partes, by the continuall sweatyng the hole
daie and out of all partes, whyche be the beste and holsome
sweates. The other which come but by tymes and onely in certein
partes, or broken, be not sufficient nor good, but very euill,
of whose insufficiency, ij. notes learne: a swellyng in y^e
partes with a blackenes, & a tinglyng or prickyng in the same.
Suche I aduise to appointe theim selues to sweat againe to ridde
their bodies of that remaineth, & abide it out vntill they fele
their bodies lanke & light, and to moue the sweat as before I
said, if thesame come not kyndly by the selfe. If they canot
forbeare meate during y^e space of their fitte, and faste out
their xxiiij. houres, without danger, geue theim a litle of an
alebrie onely, or of a thinne caudel of an egge sodden with one
hole mace or ij. If they be forced by nature to ease them selues
in the meane time, let them do it rather in warme shetes put
into them (38) closely, then to arise. After they haue thus
fully swette, conuey closely warme clothes into theyre beddes,
and bid them wipe themselues there with in al partes curiouslye:
and be ware that no ayer entre into theire open bodies (and
speciallye their arme holes, the openest & rarest parte therof)
to let the issue of that whych doeth remaine. The lyke may be
done in the reste of their fitte, with lyke warenes, for that
clenlinesse comfortethe nature, and relieueth th
