Hippoph. T TQ^ ^0 yoii take of a Spongy-wart ? 



X JL -Hippo f. A Sfongy-wart^ is that very thing 

 which our Farrters c^^V'anAnberry^ which is a kind of iFe;^, 

 which fwelleth fometimes to a great bignefs, fometimes a- 

 gain it will be but fraall, but then commonly they are many, 

 and do grow into clufters j this cometh by means of peccant 

 humours czukd of bloo^^ and that Norfe that is inclined to 

 wans will feldom be ever free of them, for take them off in 

 one place, and he will put forth more in other parts of his 

 hody^ but to breed of either //or/^ oriHirc inclined to them, 

 I will difTwade you ^ for moft commonly he will put them 

 forth about the eyes, yea, and oft-times fo neer to the eye it 

 felf as to endanger the fight thereof j They be eafily known 

 by reafbn they be fo apparently feen, and therefore need no 

 farther defcription. The cure is. It were good firft to ^ 

 purge him, and to take to<^ from the yl/^y?er-'z^«« which you ^yj^. 

 do find doth moft feed them, as well to divert as to ftop 

 the malice of that bad kmoHr which doth occafion the mala- 

 dy. If the Wart or Anherry be far enough extant from the 

 j^'», then tie two of his longeft havrs taken from his tall hard 

 about the Sorrance fo faft as you poflibly can, and fo as that 

 it may not loofen, and in few days it will fret and eat it 

 clean offV which done, ftrew upon it the Powder of Verdi- 

 greafe to kill it at the root, and after heal it up again with 

 your green Salve. But if you cannot come to tie it either 

 with hair or thred, then either with your Incilion knife cut 

 it away clofe to the skin, or elfe burn it off with a hot I- 

 ron, and then firft kill the fire with Turpentine and Hogs 

 greafe molten together, and after heal it up, afs before is pre- 

 fcribed you. \^ Thisis very good*
