death and yet neverthelesse by breathing of a Veine or giving of a good Diaphoretick Cordial the partie hath bin recovered and lived Wherefore I would advise the discreet Surgeon that dare adventure his person in such cases not to leave doing of good to his Patient by all rationall administrations and applications so long as life appeareth The convenience of thė cure And one comfort is to the Patient and Surgeon in this disease before and beyond all others that having once overcome the Feaver so that the blessing of health but appeareth by appetite and competent rest or the like cheareful fignes no sores heal faster then Pestilential Sores doe And yet per contra I have also had too much experience in the curing of the diseased of the Plague that it is generally the ungratefulnesse recompensed of all other diseases to the poore and hardie Surgeon Namely fot that he when he hath recovered his Patient for the most part is loathed shunned and avoided not onely of his Friends and Patients but for his hazard cost and care is so under-valued that sometime but for presuming The inconvenience to tell his Patients after he hath recovered them that they had the Plague he hazardeth the future losse of their favours yea and sometimes under favour hath his owne house shut up to make him amends withall Wherefore such ungratefulnesse hath made me in my old age to call to mind the motto of Paracelsus that most famous Artist formerly repeated Alterius non sit qui suus est potest Let him not be anothers that can be his owne And yet I confesse I neither can nor will refraine in one good way or another to be doing good in my calling by Medicines or Advice both in general and particular in that or any other disease so long as God doth give me life and health with strength thereunto maugre the ingratitude of the unworthiest sort of them Quia nos non nobis nati sumus Because we were not bome for our selves And it is just and laudable for every worthy Surgeon to be knowne by walking fairely and blamelesse in his Calling and namely by doing good at all seasons although with some personall hazard now and then for that he is therefore ordained by the Almightie to be ever ready ad omne quare upon every occasion which who so truly observeth shall be blessed For to this end every Artist yea and every Christian man is ordained and also commanded by the holy Apostle S. Paul in these words to doe good and distribute Forget not for with such sacrifice the Lord is well pleased and S. Iames saith that it is true Religion to visit the Fatherlesse and widow in their adversities c. And even the excellencie of the Calling of Surgeons should incite them to zeale where they can as well without reward as for reward where poverty is and need requireth Of the three chief and most principal outward signes or indications of this Disease vulgarly called the Plague and of a fourth THere are onely but three most notable certaine external Three certaine signes of the Plague signes of the Plague apparent to all and those faile not to testify the truth of the disease and by those each old Wife by her experience may maintaine her report of the disease as amply and well as the skilfullest Doctor in times of contagion and they are as followeth Of the first outward signe of the Plague IMprimis the Bubo Pestilentialis which as I may ever justly affirm The ●i●st signe Bubo of mine own experience was to me the happy Botch sent upon my own body by Gods mercy and was the sparing of my life for I had it twice namely at two several Plague-times in my Groyne These Buboes Boyles or Pestilential Botches commonly happen The first place where the Plague shewes it selfe in the Emunctories sincks or cleansing parts of the body as the Artist tearmes them and seldome elsewhere if they be pestilential namely they come in the glandulous parts under or behind the The Brain care if the Brain be oppressed which is the place by which the Brain if Nature be able driveth out and dischargeth her selfe of the Venome or poysoned Infection which otherwise would kill the animal spirits and by that the whole body also The second place Or it cometh sub axillis under the arme-holes as it is usually called where also are certain small Glandules or Kernels and to that The Heart part the heart sendeth out the venemous vapours or offending matter either by force of Nature or Art which suddenly groweth there to an Impostume Botch or Boyle The third place The third and last place where commonly a Pestilential Bubo commeth is in the Groine which the Artist calleth Inguen where The Liver when the Liver is oppressed and Nature strong she sendeth forth the disease or Botch thither and that is the third part where the Botch appeareth And as by the way to the Artists of the younger sort a word two of my practicall observations by way of distinguishing the difference betwixt the Venereal and Pestilential Bubo wherein a young Artist may be mistaken to his prejudice Wherefore let the Artist observe as common practice sheweth that the Venereal Bubo although it ever appear in the Groyn it is slower in his progresse then the pestilential Bubo is for the Pestilential commeth for the most part with a Feaver and although the Venereal sometimes in his augmentation in younger persons hath a ●mal feaver for a day or two when it is almost at state it being alwayes thwart upon the dependant part of the Belly called Imus venter or the lower belly namely in Inguen upon or over Os pubis But the Pestilential Bubo or boyl commeth ever furiously on and as in a rage of a Feaver and as being in haste sometimes it lighteth on or near Inguen thwart but more often lower upon the thigh pointing downeward with one end the upper and towards the belly being commonly the biggest or the fullest part of the Bubo the whole thigh being also inflamed which if it doth not hold ever to come right in the place where the venereall Botch doth as is said but as neer the Emunctories as it may yet Howsoever by the fury and uncertaine seat therof the pestilential is ever to be knowne from the venereal and the more certaine by his furious comming or when the Plague raigneth and it happeneth to children which cannot be said to be venereal and yet neverthelesse even in contagious times a venereal Bubo is not to be forbidden by any Surgeon to happen if his Patient please to have it so But to conclude this poynt the discreet Surgeon at the first sight the other forenamed circumstances well weighed may easily know to make a true distinction sufficiently if he be a man of judgment and thus much of the first outward signe of the Plague viz. The Bubo Botch or
