23 o The boohe of Hunting 



Take two handfull of wild Creflyes, otherwife called Berne^ 

 two handfull of Enula campana^ of the leaues or rootes of wylde 

 Sorrcll, and the roote of Roerb as much, and the weight of two 

 pounds of rootes of Frodyls^ make them al boyie wel in lye and vi- 

 neger. When they are all well boyled, you muft ftreine the de- 

 cod:ion,andtake the iuice therof, mingling it w* two pounds of grey 

 Sope, and when the Sope is well melted and mingled in it, then 

 rub your dogs with it foure or fiue days together, and it wil heale 

 them. This receipt and al y^ reft 1 haue proued and found medicinable. 



A Receipt to heale the dileafe called the Wolfe, 

 which is a kernell or round bunch of flefh, 

 which groweth and increafeth, vn- 

 till it kill the dogge 



THis difeafe or botch hapneth often vnto dogs. And to heale it 

 you muft haue good regard in what place it is. For if it be in 

 any part of the bodie, where many vaynes be, or Arteryes, then 

 will it be verie harde to take it awaye. But this is the meane to 

 take a Wolfe away in places where you maye conuenyently. 

 There are two maners of curing of it. The one is by Incifion, 

 and that other by Receipt. He that wil make incyfion, muft firft 

 looke howe many vaynes and arteries doe come from any parte 

 of the bodye, vnto the place where the Wolfe is. Then muft he 

 haue a fliarpe fourfquare needle, that muft be a little bended or 

 crooked. That being threeded with a good ftrong threed, let him 

 thruft his needle vnderneath the vayne, and drawe it through, 

 and fo let him with both ends of the threed, tye the vayne as hard 

 and clofe as he can, and cut oft'the ends. Thus dial he do with al 

 the vaines which haue recourfe into the difeafe, forbleeding and for 

 marring his incifion. Then let him take a razor, and cut rounde 

 about the botch (within the knots that are tyed about the vaines) 

 and fo take away and cut out the botch or lumpe. Then fliall he 

 immediately take a hote Iron, and fearethe little endes and pypes 

 of the vaynes and arteries. Afterwardes he fliall firft apply vn- 

 to it a playfter made of Sa»guis ciraco?iis^ yolkes of cgs, poudcr of 



burnt
