Cure.
For the curing of this bodily infirmity, many remedies are prescribed: odoriferous smells in weakness, the opening of a vein in better strength, cupping glasses applied to the hinder part of the head, with scarification, gargarismes and sternutatory things, together with setting the feet in hot bathes, &c. To cure this Spiritual Staggers, let the Patient be purged with Repentance for his former unsettledness: let him take an ounce of Faith to firm his brains; let his repose be on the Scriptures, and thence fetch decision of all doubts; let a skilful Physician order him, a good Minister. Let him stop his ears to rumours, and fix his eyes on Heaven, to be kept from ⟨p. 12⟩distracting objects. Let him keep the continual diet of Prayer, for the Spirit of illumination; and thus he may be recovered.
