R Secondly, The famekinde of Oynment applied tothe hurt it lelf, worketh 
not the effet, but onely applied tothe weapon. Thirdly, -which I like well) 
they donot obferve the confeGing of the Oyntment under any certain Con- 
ftellation; which commonly is the excufe of Magical Medicines when they | 
| fail, tharthey were not made underafit fgure of Heaven. Fourthly, it may | 
{ | be applied tothe Weapon, though the party hurt be at great diftance. Fifth- | 
ly, it feemeth the Imagination of the party ro be cured is not needful to con- | 
cur, for it may be done without the knowledge of the party wounded ; | 
And thus much hath been tried, that the Oyntment (for Experiments fake) | 
hath been wiped off the Weapon without the knowledge of the party hurt, | 
and prefently the party hurt hath been in great rage of pain, till the weapon |} 
| wasreanointed. Sixthly, it is affirmed, That if you cannot get the weapon, | 
| [yet if you put an Inftrument of Iron or Wood, refembling the weapon | 
| into the Wound, whereby it bleedeth, the anointing of that Jnitrument will |_ 
ferve and work the effe&. This I doubt fhould be a device to keep this | 
ftfange form of Cure in requeft and ufe, becaufe many times you cannot | 
| comebythe Weapon itfelf. Seventhly, the Wound mutt be atfirft wathed | 
clean with White-wine, or the particsown Water, and then bound up clofe | 
| in fine Linnen, andno more dreffing renewedtillitbe whole. Eighthly, the } 
Sword it felf muftbe wrapped up clofe as far as the Oyntment goeth, that it | 
takeno wind, Ninthly, the Oyntment, if you wipe it off from the Sword | 
and keepit, wil ferve again, and rather increafe in vertue then diminifh.Tenth- |
