HOW doe you Pauls Quire? methinks that your countenance is much chan­ged? Why looke you so wan?

Truly there is cause, since the sweat hath so issued from both our sides, to the so great fouling of our Surpli­ces, that the sent thereof hath so much offended our curious Laundresses, they will not come neer to wash them clean: no marvell then though we look wan?

But I know you are not well, you have some dangerous disease, therefore be advised, and look to it in time.

I pray you will you looke upon my water▪ see there it is, tell me your opinion by that.

Truly Sir, let me tell you, your water is very high and dangerous, you have a great distemper, you are very ill I see.

Indeed I have been much troubled of late; but I pray what doe you conceive to be the cause of my distemper?

You are troubled with a disease called Plenitude: the disease lieth much in the head, the [Page] Archbishops, Bishops▪ &c.

But can you tell me what hath bred and nou­rished this disease in me?

It hath been caused by fulnesse of bloud, a­b [...]unding al [...]ne over the other humours, as it did wh [...]n three m [...]ns bloud surcharged their stomackes, dropping from their eares in one day, as also by the increase of the four humours altogether in their pro­portion, which in your head were sored to mighty violence.

What caused this disorder in the humours so to b [...]und?

The cause ariseth from pride and fulnesse of bread, neglect, and omitting of exercises of the Mi­nisteriall function, and closing with Popery and Po­pish rites: which disease hath increased by those na­turall and artificiall vacuations which the said Arch­bishops, Bishops &c. have fomented and established.

What signes doe you see in mee of any such disease?

Your face and your eyes be ruddy; that is to say, your Pictures, Altar. Cop [...]s, Candles, Bow­ings, &c. looke not like, he eyes or face of a prote­stant Church: for even such practices are this d [...]y at Rome.

What other signes doe you see?

Your veynes, that is to say, your Org [...]n pipes, are swolne, the smallest veine whereof doth not become a Protestant Church, but rather the Iews Synagogues.

What say you to my Pulse? I pray you Do­ctor feele.

Your pulse is great and vehement, whilst all the life of your Religion consists in dumb shewes and ceremonies.

I pray you tell mee what signes you finde in my water of this disease.

The disease is easily discerned by your urine, which is reddish and thicke, an infallible signe, procee­ding from your well fed body, daily full gorged with wi [...]e both French and Spanish.

Oh! Master Doctor, I am very full of paine▪ of a sudden, the veines in my temples doe beat ex­treamly.

That ariseth from the nature of the dis [...]a [...], especially since your head is possest with such a giddi­nesse, Lambeth pillow lyes now very uneasily.

I am very heavy, good Mr. Doctor prescribe some [...]hing to comfort me.

• In the first place, you must remove away all Popery and Popish innovations from about you, that so you may freely and fully receive the Protestant aire▪ for that is very wholesome.
• 2. Remove away all infe­cted idolatrous persons, and offices from about you.
• 3. Remove the stinking sent of all scandalous mem­bers out of their places.
• 4. Avoyd all such nourishing diet as may strengthen Popery in you.
• 5. Use. Ptisan, mixt with nothing but what is gathered out of Gods word.
• 6. Use Repentance, made up of cooling herbs.
• 7. Avoyd wine and women and drinke onely the clear water of the well of life.
• 8. Lastly, exercise the word of God truly and constantly.

But what will you prescribe for the cure?

The cure must be begunne with blood letting [Page] as loon [...] as may be; thou must have an experienced Chyrurgian to open the uttermost veine within the Arme, called Humeralis, on the High-commission and spirituall Court side, for there the griefe is most vehement, this veine is so annexed to the head, the Bishops, &c. that by it you shall not only pull backe blood, into a contrary part, but you shall also empty out that by it, as s [...]ith, Hippocrates, Galen, Rhases, &c.

But alast [...], I am old, and weake, such bleed­ing m [...]y be dangerous to me.

Then you must have boxing glasses, which the Chyrurgion must use, not to your head it selfe only, but to the parts adjoyning, as the shoulders, and brest, all upholders and maintainers of Popery, and Popish innovations.

But what physicke will you prescribe me? was I not best to take a potion first?

Let me see penne and inke and paper, and I will prescribe a potion, and let it be sent for to the A­pothecaries speedily, that you may take it this mor­ning before I goe from you.
