Cerot made of Beares greafe,Buls tallow,and wax, of each an equall quantitie,is fingular 
good for the gout in the feet. And yetfome there bee whoadde unto them Hypoquiitis 
and gall nuts. Ochers preferre a male Goats tallow, together with the dung of afeimale 
Goat, Saffron, and Muftard feed; or the braunches of Yvie ftamped with Parierarie alfo of the 
wall;or els the flowers of the wild Coucumber,reduced all into the forme of a cataplafme and fo 
applied. In like manner, others ufea pulceffe made of beafts dung & the mother of vinegre tem- 
pered together. Some inagnifie & highly commend in this cafe the dung of a Calfe, which hath 
notas yettafted of graffe,or Buls-bloud alone without any other thing :likewife a VWolfefodden J 
quicke untill all the flefh bee gone & nothing but bones remaining; or els live Wolfe fodden in 
oile untill the {aid oile be gellied to the height or confiftence of a cerot.Semblably,there is good 
account made of thetallowof a hee Goat, with as much Parietarie of the wall,and athird part of 
Senvie :as alfo of the afhes of Goats dung incorporat with Hogs greafe.Moreover, itis faid,that 
the beft ching that the patient can do for to have eafe of the Sciatica,is to endure the faid dung as 
hotas poffibly hee can,under his great toes untill itbee readie to burne them.For all other joint- 
gouts as well in feet as hands or els where, the gall of a Beare is a foveraigne medicine : as alfoa 
Hares foot bound faft to the place affe@ted. And fome are of this opinion,that the goutofthefeet 
willbe afluaged,in cafe a man cut off the foot of a quicke Hare, & carie it about him continually, 
As touching kibes,bears greafe cureth them:{o it healeth alfo the chaps in the feetsbut moreef. K 
fectuallicis,in cafe there be allum put thereto: for which purpofe Goats fuet is commended: the © 
pouder alfo of horfe teeth :the gall of a bore or fow :the lights likewife of a {wine, rogether wih 
the fat laidto the place.Now if the feet be furbatted galled,and bruifed in thefole by wreading or 
ftumbling againit chat which offendeth them, the fame medicines be very good:but fay they are 
benummed and frozen with cold,the afhes of Hares haire bringeth them into order agains. The 
Jungs alfo of an Hare flit and skiced & fo laid too, is good for any bruife or contufion in the feet; 
or the afhes of the faid lungs applied therto.C oarrariwife,if they be fcorched and burnt with the 
heat of the fun,chey find a moft foveraigne cure by the greafe of an affe: likewife by boenfe rallow 
and oile of rofes mixed together. The corns,agnels, chaps, & callofities of the feet,the frefh dung 
of abore or fow doth heale, if it be applied therto in form of acataplafme,& notremovedbefore L 
the third day.Of the likeefficacie are the afhes ofa fwines ankle bones, the lungs of a bore or fow, 
or of a {tag Ifone have galled his feet by the fretting and ftubbornefie of hard fhoes, the urine of 
an afle togetherwith the mire that is made of the fame urine upon the ground,doth healeifitbe 
applied to the place. The corns or agnels find much eafe by boenfe fuet & the pouder of Frankin- 
» cenfe reduced into a liniment. Bur kibed heeles are beft healed with the athes of leather burnt, ef 
pecially if it were an old fhoe, Again, if thefeet have bin wronged byftreight fhoes,take the afhes 
of 2 goats skin tempered with oile, As forthe painefull {welled veines,named in Latine Varices, 
there is a foveraign cataplafm to afluage their greefe,made with the athes of Calves dung boiled 
with Lillie roorsyand a litele hony put therto. 7 he fame is fingular for all impoftumatinflammati- - 
ons that tend to fuppuration. This medicine is good alio forthe gout in the feet,andfor al! difea~ M 
fes of the joints,& namely, if the {aid dung came fron: an ox calte. The joints if they have gotten _ 
a fpreine by any ruth, fiad remedie by the dung of bore or fow, ifit be laid too hot within alinnen 
cloth. The dung likewile of a calfe which vet fuckéth & never did eat grafle hath the fame effed: 
- ¢ven as goats dung boiled with hony in vinegre. The raggednef_e of nailes have a proper mie vi!
