Others do take the Juice of Ground-Ivy ftampt in a Mortar, with the 

 luice of Ivy-berries, and mix them either with Water or White-wine, and 

 fo Plafter-wife lay it to the Horfe's Eye, renewing it Morning and Even- 

 ina and it will eat away the Haw. Others ufe after the Haw is cut away, 

 to lay to the Eye a Plaifter of Camomile and of Honey beaten together •, 

 any of all which is fuffieient enough. Now you are to note by the way, 

 that the Horfe which hath one Haw, commonly hath two, for they conti-

Chap. XIV. Of Aioo-a-JEyes, or Lunatick Eyes, 



TH E Moon-eyes, or Lunatick-eyes, are of all fore Eyes the moft 

 dangerous and noifome, and do proceed from hot Humours, defcen- 

 ding from the Head, and ftirred up by the extremity of over-riding or 

 compelling a Horfe to do more than Nature will give him leave : As I have 

 feen a llothful and heavy Horfe brought to be Moon-eyed by the folly of 

 his Rider, who would force him to ftand and Trot, and contrary to the 

 vigour of his Spirit : So likewife I have feen delicate mettled Hories 

 brought to be Moon-eyed,when the Riders would not temper the Freenels 

 of their Nature, but have given them leave to run with all violence. Now 

 they be called Moon-eyes, becaufe if the Farrier do obferve them, he Ihall 

 perceive that at Ibmetimes of the Moon the Horfe will fee very prettily, 

 and at fometimes of the Moon he will fee nothing atall.Nowthe Signs here- 

 of are, when the Horfes Eyes are at thebeft, they will look Yellowiili, and 

 Dim,and when they are at the worft,they will look Red, Fiery and Ar.gry. 

 The Cure is. To lay all over the Temples of the Horfe's Head, the 

 Plaifter of Pitch, Rofin, and Maftick mentioned in the Chapter of Watry 

 Eyes : Then under each of his Eyes with a Iharp Knife make a flit of an 

 Inch long about four Fingers beneath his Eyes, and at leaft an Inch wide of 

 the Eye-veins •, then with a Cornet loofen the Skin about the breadth of a 

 Groat, and thruft therein a round piece of Leather as broad as a Two- 

 pence with a hole in the midfl, to keep the hole open ^ and look to it once 

 a Day, that the Matter may not be flopped, but continually, run the Ipace 

 often Days ;, then take the Leather out, and heal the Wound with a little 

 Flax dipt in this Salve. Take of Turpentir.e, of Honey, and of Wax, of 

 each a like Quantity, and boil them together, which being a little warmed, 

 will be liquid to ferve your purpofe -^ and take not away the Plaifters 

 which are upon his Temples until of themfelves they fall away ^ which 

 being fallen, then with a fmall hot drawing-Iron make a Star in the midft 

 of each Temple-vein, where the Plaifters did lie, which Star would have 

 a hole in the midft, made with the Button-end of your hot ^^ 

 Drawing-Iron in this fort» )^
