 by way of prevention. Wherefore for Maladies of this Na- 

 ture, I will prefcribe you a few Receipts, which fhall be v^ery 

 good and approved. Firll therefore, whereas the common 

 cure in pradiic among our ordinary Feniersjind- Smiths is,, to 

 drzw blood as well from the Temple-veins^ a-^ from the Neck^ 

 veins -^ my Counfel is, (which experience is tnught me'b^' my 

 A'lafter here, and it hath not a little profited and pleafured me) 

 to be very cauteious how you draw bbod from weak and enfee-' 

 bled Eyes<, as Blood- pet ten and Rhnrndtiqite Eyes mufl be •, (unlefs 

 in cafes of extrcam necefllty) for by fo doing, f have known 

 Horfes in like cafes which before they had blood taken from 

 them w.ere able to fee a little, but after blood letting they have 

 become fo blind as a Beetle ; nor were they eve: able (no Art 

 wanting) to fee more : fo as rhey after became very notable 

 ftrong, and able M<V-/;or/(?i. Fir fb therefore I aver, that in- 

 ftead of opening a Fcin^ I counfel you to lay unto the Ten:ple 

 veins a Charge, whereby to itay and hinder that/^.v oi?^ noxious- 

 humours which were the caule of this Malady •, and let this 

 Charge be made thus. Take Pitch, Rolin, Mallick, of each 

 like much ^ melt all thefe together, and either apply it upon a" 

 plaiftcr made of Leather cut round, or of Velvet, of that co- 

 lour, or as near to the colour of the Horfey as may be, or elle 

 lay it good and vv^arm to the Tewple-veinsy v;ith a cloath faflned 

 to a (lick and before it be cold, clapFlocks of the fame colour' 

 to the place, and let it fo remain on, till of it felf it fall away.' 

 Then drefs the grieved Eyes with thefe enltiing-things.
