The Vertues. 
All thefe forts of Kali have a denting qnalitie in them, without any manifed heate ; the pouder of any of them, 
or the juyce which is much better, taken indrinke doth purge downewardsflegmaticke,waterifh and adult or 
melancholike humors, and therefore are often ufed for the dropfie, to provoke urine, and to expell the dead birth, 
9 S alio to open the obftruftions of the liver and ofthc fpleene, and to confume the hardneffe thereof; they are 
fomtitnes mixed with thofe things, that are ufed as corrolives to confume proud or fpongie fupetfiuous flefh,that 
groweth in foule and virulent ulcers, but the aihes themfelves are very fliarpe and biting like acaudikc, and the 
lye that is made thereof is foftrong, that it will fetch off the skinnefrom the hands, or any other part of the body; 
and therefore if any ufe it to clenfe the skinne irom fpottes, freckles, morphew, or the like, they had neede to 
be cautelous in the tiling ofit, and apply it very fparingly, or delay it fufficiently, and foit may doe good. If the 
Sope that is made of the lye of the allies of thefe ICalies or Saltworts.be fpreadupon apeeceof thicke courfe 
browne paper,cut into the forme of their fhooe foie that are caufually taken fpeechles, and bound to the foies of 
their feete it will bring againe the fpeech and that within a little time after the applying thereof, if there be any 
hope of being reltored while they live : this hath beene tried to be effeffuall upon diverfe perfons: Sandiver 
worketh much to the fame effect with Kali: it is uied often being made into pouder either to be bio wne into 
horfes eyes, or being diffolved fquirtcd into them, to take away any skinne that beginneth to grow there, and 
dimme the light 1 both oftlicmlikewifefervetodrie up running fores and fcabbes, tetters, ringwormes andths 
like, and to helpe the itch.
