The Advice
Perfuming of Apparel.
Such apparel as you shall commonly wear, let
it be very clean, and perfume it often either
with some red Saunders burned, or with Juniper.
And if any shall happen to be with them that are
visited, let such persons as soon as they shall come
home, shift themselves, & air their other clothes,
in open air for a time.
Preservation by way of defense in open
air, and common assemblies to
be used outwardly.
It is good in going abroad into the open air
in the streets, to hold some things of sweet sa-
vor in their hands, or in the corner of a hand-
kerchief, as a sponge dipped in Vinegar & Rosewa-
ter mixed, or in Vinegar, wherein Wormwood, or
Rue called also Herb-grace, hath been boiled.
Preservative by way of inward
medicine.
Take a quantity of Rue, or Wormwood, or of
both, and put it into a pot of usual drink,
close stopped, let it lie so in steep a whole
night, and drink thereof in the morning fasting.
In all Summer plagues, it shall be good to use
Sorrel sauce to be eaten in the morning with bread,
And in the fall of the leaf to use the juice of Bar-
berries with bread also.
