228 The booie of Hunting 



wherein were written but two lynes, and thofe he put in an eg- 

 fhell, and fo put them downe a dogges throate, whiche was bit- 

 ten with a madde dogge. And the wryting contayned but this : 

 r Ran §luj Ran^ cafram cafratrem cafratrofque. This he fayde 

 would preferue a dogge from being madde : beleeue it he that lift, 

 • for I do not. 



Of the Maunge, Tettarres, Ringwormes, 

 and fcabbes in a dogge 



THere are foure kindes of Mange, viz, the red Mange, which 

 maketh a dogges legges to fwell. The fkaly Mange, which 

 groweth in patches, as broad as the palme of a mans hande, and 

 taketh off the f kinne where it goeth. The common Mange, and 

 the blacke Mange, which lyeth vnder the fkinne, and maketh the 

 haire to flied. Of thefe manges the red Mange is the worft, and 

 moft dangerous to heale. For it engendreth and breedeth after a 

 found ring or ouerheating of a dog, which he taketh in the win- 

 ter, pafling ouer brooks or pooles, when he is hote and chafed. Or 

 with lying in colde and moyft places, before he be well dryed or 

 rubbed. Or it may come by being brought vp in the fliambles, 

 or butcheries, with the bloud of Oxen or fuche like, which ouer- 

 heateth the bloud in a dog. And thofe kindes of Mange are thus 

 to be healed. Firft purge your dogge with the receipt which I 

 haue before prefcribed to be miniftred before bathing, and on the 

 morrow let him bloud two ounces or more, vpon a vaine which 

 is betwene the hough ftring, and the bone of his leg And within 

 two dayes next following, you fhall annoynt him with this 

 oyntment which followeth. 



Take three pound weight of the oyle of Nuttes (I thinke he 

 meaneth Walnuts) a pounde and halfe of the oyle of Cade^ two 

 pound of the oyle of Wormes, three pound of Honny, and a pound 

 and a half of Vyneger, boyle them al together, vntill they be halfe 

 wafted. Then put to it Rofen and Pytch, or Tar, of each two 

 pounds and a half, and half a pound of new waxe vnwrought, melt 

 them altogether, and ftir them with a reede or a palme wand. When 

 they are well melted and mingled, put therein (from ofFthe fire) a 



pound
