extinguith, than a glew made of a calves genetoiis, diffolved in vinepre with,quicke ‘brimftone G 
and mingled togither with a figg-tree braunch ;with this charge, that When itis freth made, the 
place affected be annointed twice a day therewith. This glew boiled in eagepe pice Ba 
gular for the leprofie: which difeafe,the liver alfo of acalfe applied hor, doth cure:like as goats 
gall healeth che foule white leprie called Elephantiafis: byt an ox gall and fal-nitre mixed thiere- 
with taketh away the leprie and the filthie dandruffe appearing in the skin. The otine of an afle’ 
taken about the rifing ofthe Dog -ftar, cleanfeth the face from all {pots :fo'doth the gallas well 
of an affe asa bull, ufed alone by it felfe, after it hath been well broken and tempered in water, 
and the old skin of the face taken off ;but then the patient muft forbeare to goe abroad either 
into the funne or wind, The like effect hath bulls tallow or calves gall, incorporat with the feed 9 
of Savorie and the afhes of an hartshorne, if thefamebe burnt at the beginningof the Dogs” 
dates, Affes greace is a foveraigne thing toreduce untoa frefh and native colour, any skarrsor) ~ 
places of the skin blemifhed with the ftooles remaining of ringworme,tettar,and leprofie. The ~ 
gall of a bucke-goatincorporat with cheefe, fulphurvif, and the athes of afpunge,and brought ~ 
to the confiftence and thickenefle of honey, taketh away moles and pimples.Some make choifé 
rather of old galls which hath been long kept to ufein this cafe, mingling therewith hot brans 
to the weight of one obolus,and foure times as much of hony; but firlt the faid {pots and {pecks 
ought to bee plied well with chaufing and rubbing. The fewet of the fame goat, tempered with 
Gith or Nigellafeed, Brimftone, and Floure-de-lis root, is verie effe Ctuall for this purpofe, 
Semblably, it is good for the chaps in the lips, if ibe incorporat with goofe greafe, deeres ma- 
row, rofin, and unquenchtlime. I findit recorded in fome authours, that they whoare givento J) 
have red pimples appearing in their face, are difabled for exercifing any facrifices belongingto 
Art magicke. ; 
Ifthe tonfils, throat, and wind-pipe, bee either enflamed or exulcerat, they find much eafe 
by cow milke,or goats milke, fo the patient gargarize therewith warmeas it commeth new from 
the beaft, or otherwife made warme againe afterwards: but goats milke is the better of the twain, 
if mallowes be fodden theréin, anda little falt. For bliftersin the tongue and throat,the broath 
made of tripesisvetie goodtobe gargarifed :and more patticulatly, for the inflammations and 
fores incident tothe tonfils or almonds of the throat, the kidnies of a fox dried are fingular, if 
they be beaten into powder and reduced into aliniment with honey. The gall ofa bull or goat. 
mixed with honey, ferveth right well for the {quinancie. The liver of a grey or badger tempered. K 
with waterand made in manner of acollution, reCtifietha ftrong and ftinking breath :thecan- 
kers alfo and {ores in the mouth, are healed with butyr. If a thorne, fith bone, orany other fuch 
thing fticke in the throat, take the dung of acat, rub 8 annoint the place well without-forth,the : 
fame (by report) will thereupon come up againe, or pafle downeward. As forthe {welling wens 
calledthe Kinds evill, either the gall of abore doth {catter and difpatch;or elfe of a boeufe,if — 
the place aifected bee annointed’ therewith warme: for hares rendles tempered with wine and 
putinto a linnen cloath, is good to bee applied unto the fame onely when they be fore and run. 
The afhes alfo of the houfe both of horfe and affe, incorporat with oile, water, and hote urine, 
into a liniment and fo applied, doth refolve them before they bee broken. Of the fame effect is 
x. the afhes of an oxe or cowsclee, applied unto the place with water:asalfotheirdunglaid too L 
; verie hot with vinegre. In like manner goats fewer with quicke-lime, or their dungfodden invi- 
negre and the genctoirs of a fox. For this purpofe, there is much good done with fope: an in- 
vention devifed by the French for tocolour the haire of thehead yellow: madeit is of tallow 
and afhes: the beft of all other is that which they make of beech-wood afhes and goats fewet; 
and the fame after two manner of wayes; eitherthicke and hard, or elfe liquid and foft: butthe 
one as well as the other is verie much ufed in Germanic, and a great deale more indeed by men 
than women, | | 
The cricks and pains in thenecke, are much afluaged by rubbing thenape of the necke with 
butter or beares greace: if the {ame bee ftarke and ftiffe, there is nothing in'theworld better 
than beafts callow ; the which, rogither with oile, is verie good forthe Kings evill before-faid. M
