tadrink i and found him ftill more and morcdifordcrcd ^ 
the fight J efpecially the approach of the drink. Where. 
fore I ask't his mother in taw and the Maid, who flood 
abouthim, where the wound was he laft had had at which, 
queftion they feemed concerned, and replyed, they won-, 
dred what I meant. I then told them he had been bitten, 
by a Dog ; It is true The faid all in a fright.) I was bit by, 
fuch a Neighbour's Dog , about five or fix weeks ago,, 
here in my hand, but it has been long well. I then bid. 
him lye down, and fo left him, calling his W ife and Mo- 
ther and Friends to me below Stairs,, and telling them that 
he would certainly dye, that there was but fmall hopes of 
his recovery, it being to late y that none fhould be fuffer- 
cd to go him , but his keepers , fome ftrong man or 
two&c. 
I forthwith ordered a Vein to be opened in the arm 
which was bit, caufed the wound to be {carified and drawn 
with Fe/catones, and the fame Plafter to be applyed unto- 
the neck and leggs and the infideof thearms,* I ordered 
the ufiial and famed antidotes to be given him sls ofTherma^, 
Cms cmcrorum> \Rjita^ Agaricus» &c. in Bolus's. For it is. 
to be noted, that foUd things in a Spoon he could take^^ 
but yet not without much trembling, and tear,, and Cau- 
tion, andan earneft requeft that no body would fuddain- 
ly offer them to him, but give them into his hand gently 
and then he would by degrees fteal his hand fofdy towards 
his mouth,and of a fuddain chop the Spoon in and fw-allow 
what was in \i,veht cants ad ojfam^ia this he did more greedi-- 
lyand readily then any other man could do, Ofthefe anti- 
dotes in Bolus he took a Dram every hour, and always in 
this manner,forat leaft a dozen times taking^and every like 
drink was proferredhim in the night, but he could not fee; 
\K without horrour, and the fame motions from his Sto^; 
mack. Nay he did affirm that as oft as he by chance fwaN 
]owed any Spittle it went to his heart, evenas tjio he 
ihould dy that very Moment. This mght paffed wholy 
without any fleep or reft. . Tuefday
