I received your lettre and doe blesse the Lorde for your recovery and the wellfare of your family. you must be very carefull of taking colde about your loynes: and when the grounde is open I will send you some pepper-worte roots. for the fluxe there is no better medicine then the Cuppe vsed 2 or 3 times: and in case of suddain torments a Clyster of a quart of water boyled to a pint which with the quantity of 2 or 3 nuttmeggs of Saltpeeter boiled in it will give present ease.

for the pilles they are made of grated peper made vp with turpentine, very stiff, and some flouer withall: and 4 or 5 taken fasting and fast 2 howers after but if ther be any feaver with the flux: this must not be vsed till the feaver be removed by the Cupp. this bearer is in great hast and so am I so with our blessing to you and yours and salutations to all etc. I rest your loving father
