Hiftory, and confidereth the Symproms of ©
this Difeafe, thac che Caufe of this Dif- eafe was from fomwhat that was poy- fonous.
And yet neverthelefs the Second opinion feemeth to me the more probable. For (hike as Cratotaketh notice, and giveth usto un- derftand) fince chat there was not any one infected befides chofe chat ufed Scarification, (and that alfoinchis Bath only, and not in any other) it is cherefore very likely and moft agreeableto the cruth, that by cuts and wounds inflicted by Scarification there was fome kinde of poyfon derived unto the Body 3 whether this poyfon were imparted to che Body by che edg of the Penknife infeG- ed, or elfe by the Cupping-Glafs, or by fome poyfonous Vapour of the Bath, or fromthe Water, or by whatfoever other means it were. Foritisathing generally wel known that Arrows areby many Nations. infected withPoyfon; which might likewife as web be done in the Penknife wherewith the Sea- rification was made, whether this came co pafs by the Malice and wickednefs of the keeper ofthe Bath, or elfe by his carelefnefs and wanc of Circum{pection; whiles thac with the very fame Knife with which heSca- rified fome impure perfon, he likewife Sca- rified others,who were therby infedted;feeing
thacicisatruch very well known, that the:
opening of a Vein hath oftentimes fallen ouz very much amifs, chac hath been performed by the fame Penknrfe wherwith another mans Ulcer hath been opened. This poyfon might likewife be communicated unto the Sca- rifying Knife from che Hone or Wherftone, Cupon which thefe Inftruments are wont co be rubbed hard, thereby to have an ed@ fer upon them)if from the Vapor of theBath any filth and Malignity fhould chence to ftick untrochem. There might likewife fomecon- tagion Cleave faft unto the Cuppiny-Glafles, thac arenoct alwaies wipedand made clean with that careand diligence as they ought to be. And Laftly, itis not altogether impof- fible thac the Vapour of the Bath mighe infi-
nuate it felf inco the Skin newly Scarified; or .
elfe into the warer with the which che Scariff- ed places are wafhed: which faid V apo is noe evermore pure, but is fomtimes defiled and infeéted by the {weatings, and fileh, chat come from divers perfons. And that which
alfo maketh much hereunto,may be this,thac _
from thofe very Stones upon which the water
