This forrance alfo cometh by having his feet beaten ( efpeci- 

 ally in the Summer ) with being ridden and galloped upon 

 hard ground, which firfl occafioneth wind-gals,and thofe alfo 

 caufe the legs to fwell , which truly is the worlt kind of 

 iwelling of all other, by rcafon that lamenefs doth immedi- 

 ately follow it, unlefs great Art and diligence befpeedily ap- 

 fjlyed for prevention thereof. Wherefore the figns being i^o 

 apparent, need no remonftrance, and therefore 1 will pafs on 

 to the Cure, which is thus, 



, Take Populeon, Nerve-oyl,Hogs-greafe,of each one ounce, 

 incorporate them very well together, cold, and anoint the 

 forrance therewith morning and evening four days together,, 

 and at four days end, take of Claret-Wine-lees one quart, boyl 

 it upon the fire with fo muchBran as will bring it to a Podtefs^ 

 apply this to the place grieved Plaifter-wife with a cloth good 

 and hot for four or five days more, renewing it every day 

 once, and inalhort time he will be found again. '^;jt'' This is 

 a moll excellent receipt which I have often experimented. 

 Another, The fwellingof the/e^j,may eafily becured, if in 

 -the beginning they be often times in the day laved and bathed 

 in cold water, unlefs the malady come of too great a furfet, 

 wherefiare if^his of cold water will not do it, then. 



Take of Common honey one pound, Turpentine, common- 

 Gum, meal of LinfeecL, meal of Fenugreek, of each four 

 ounces. Bay berries made into very fine powder fearced,three 

 ,, ounces, mix and boyl all thefe together well, and when yoAi 

 take it from the fire, put unto it of White-wine one pint,and 

 then boyl it over again till it do become thick, fpread this 

 upon a cloath reafonable hot, and vv^rap it about the members 

 fwelled, and do not renew it above once in a week, and it 

 will cure them. \^ This is a certain and moll approved cure. 

 Another. If you take up the veins^ and make them to bleed 

 below and not above, and then rope up the /(?^j with thura- 

 fcands of foft Hay wet in cold water, and then call more wa- 

 ter upon them, in fliort time he will be found and well again.^ 

 j^^ This is alfo very good.
