He devoted several pages to curing syphilis with guaiacum wood, concluding that <br/><br/>"it is certain that it healeth most perfectly ... <u>except the sicke man doe returne to</u><br/><br/><u>tumble in the same bosome</u>."<br/><br/>It's really hard for me to understand the underlined part.<br/><br/>It may be paraphrased into "except the sick man does return to tumble<br/><br/>in the same bosom"? Even so I don't know what 'return to tumbe' and 'in the same bosom'<br/><br/>mean.<br/><br/>Any help will be appreciated!
