 verl fawwork upon thisdifsafe, do ufe to take it away from ' 

 the outfide of the eye, I do take it away from that part which ; 

 lieth nextofall to ihteye, and 1 do find my way to be much • 

 better, and a fafer way, as well whereby to preferve the fight > 

 of the eye^ as alfotheiv^/',and fo foonasi have cut out tlie ba-A', 

 I do ufe towafh th^eye with white Wine, and the juice of Ce- 

 lendine mingled together, of each a like much \ for this healeth . 

 the forance, and keepcth the eye from rankling. Now I have 

 oft times feen the f r^wc)^ /^/^r(//?4/j lake up the w.^/^ of the eye^ 

 witha SpaniCi needle, threded with a double.brown thred, and

 iizers to clip offthe haw fo clofe as he can •• But I cannot com- 

 mend this manner of curing the haw, for by that means he cut-'

 therewith, and in ibort time it will cure it. '^',^* Thisisvery 

 good to cure a Canker, a Pin and Web, blood flutten eyes., or any 

 fuch grief in and about theey^j ^ and I have often made ufe of 

 this medicine Another much better. 

 Take of ftone Copperas (a thing known to few, and there- >

 dinary white Copperas, m.ake it into fine powder as much as-

 fair, clear, running, or Well-water, as will fill up the Pipkin to 

 the very top, then fet the Pipkin upon a few coals, and caufe
