next day after, wafn the fores with warm water, and then 



clip away all the hair from about the fores, then anoint the 



grieved places with this Ointment, vItl. 



Take green Coperas, and Verdigreafe, of each two ounces •,

 them with your honey, to a perfed Unguent, and herewith a- 

 noint the fores daily till they be who^e. *'^*. And thus we do 

 conclude this Chapter.
