lay the decodlion thereof vpon the Tetters or Cankers. But if 

 the Canker be in a dogges piflell, or in the quicke fleflie, then 

 boyle your Sublimate^ and caft water firft vpon the place, that it 

 be not ouer fliarpe and corofiue for the dogge to abide : after-

A receipt for to heale woundes on a dogge 



THe iuyce of a redde Coleworte is a souerayne medecine for 

 woundes on a Dogge, for it will of it felf heale any wound 

 and confollidate the muf kels, bicaufe the flefli of a dogge is hote

 or in fetting downe rules and precepts of any thing, a man

 telligible. But here (as neare as I can) I will fet them downe 

 in fuche termes as wee ought by lawe of Venerie to name them : 

 as followeth.
