dients, he maketh the quantities but the fourth part of what 

 Mafter Blmdeijile fetteth down, which is in effed one and fLe 

 fame thing ; and he relateth likevvife the fame Virtues thereof, 

 which Mafter BlundevUe doth ^ only Mafter Markjiam faith,thac ' 

 four or five Spoonfuls hereof muH: be given with a pint of Sack 

 or Malmfey ^ as alfo that the limbs of the Herfe being bathed 

 therevvith,it is good againft wearinefs and tirednefs ^ and lait- 

 ly, he faith, that being given in Wine, it cureth all kind of 

 inward maladies j all which particulars,Mafter Blmdevile nam- 

 eth not. 



Hippophilus. what is the reafon that Mafler Markham doth 

 fit down but a quarter of the Ingredients in the making of this JAmoHs 

 Receift} " , • 



Htppofirm. His reafon is good, Sir, and I will approve of 

 his judgment therein : for if any man fhould make ib great a 

 quantity together as Mafter Blundevile doth fct down m his 

 Receipt, it would not be fpent whilft it were good, but only 

 by fuch a Ferrier as hath daily ule thereof, and fuch an one will 

 be hardly found j for the newer and oftener fuch like Receipts 

 are made, the better they be, and yield more profit when they 

 be adminiftred. 



Hippophilus. Is (his Receipt hot or cold in operation! 



Hippofirus. It is hot in working, otherwife it could not'hold 

 good in cafes of Surfeits,Tirednefs,and of Convulfions,and tfae 

 like,vvhereinconfifleth its chiefeftvertue, being adminiftred out- 

 wardly ;, but being adminiflred inwardly,itisnot altogether fo 

 hot,for then the ancient F^'-n^rj would not have prefcribed to 

 have It taken with Sack or Muskadine, both which are very 

 hot^for it helpeth all Reavers for themoft part; but yet I would 

 not have it adminiftred inwardiy^in fo great a proportion as 

 Mafter Markham advifenh, fo"r he (as I faid before) alloweth 

 four or five fpoonfuls to a pint of Sack or Muskadine ; unlefs 

 it be to be given in very cold Caufes, for the Wine it felfis ve- 

 ry hot. But both my Mafter and my felf do commonly admi- 

 nifter two Spoonfuls at the moft at a time, in a pint of white 

 Wine, or with a quart of good Ale or Beer, which we hold 

 to be much better and fafer, and we have found it evermore to 

 work to our hearts defire •, infomuch as we have both wrought 

 admirable Cures therewith, I do afTure you.
