Gallons of fair water, till it be all molten into the water.- Let 

 your Horle drink hereof fo long as you pleafe both morning 

 and evening, and let him have none other water to drink \ to 

 tlie end he may be the better compelled to drink of the 

 Water, which in the end he will do, and like it very 

 well, *^*. 



Of this CatapUfml have made often ule, and I do find it to 

 be a fovereign Receipt for many infirmities \ it alfo preventeth 

 much inward licknefs ; it raifeth and battlcth a Horfe much bet- 

 ter than either Grafs or Provender \ and it giveth him Life, 

 Spirit, and Stomach, and keepeth him in perfect health. 



Our ordinary Countrey Smiths have yet another Drink, 

 which they adrainiller upon all inward caufes ; and truly it 

 doth oft-times hit right, efpecially in coldcaules^ viz.. 

 All Bif- Take F enevfgreikjt Turmerickt Grains^ /^fwifeedt, Licoris^ Lon^- 

 tfafes. Pepper, Qimminy of each half an ouncc, and of Saffron one dram •, 

 3* and of Herbs, take Celendine^ Rne-, PeUmontine^ ^yj^pi Thyme 

 and Rofemary , of each, like much, but yet no more than will 

 make of them all but half a handful : Firft chop fmall thele 

 Herbs, and put them into a quart of good Ale, and when they 

 have boiled a while, put in your Spices finely p<fwdered^ and 

 then boil them again with a fhiall fire ^ then take it from the 

 fire, and ft rain it, and put to the liquor the quantity of an Egg 

 of fweet butter, and half an ouncc of London Treacle ^ give 

 this to your Horfe bloud warm, and ride him moderately after, 

 and then fet him up warm and well littered,letting him fall four 

 hours after, and let his drink be either a fweet Malh or White 

 Water. This very good againft Fevers, Colds, and the Yel- 

 lows, *;^"^.
