their_o prevention_n two_o sort_n of_o ball_n to_o ●●re_v any_o violent_a cold_a or_o glander_n to_o prevent_v heart-sicknesse_n to_o purge_v away_o all_o melt_a grease_n to_o recover_v a_o lose_a

with_o the_o former_a powder_n and_o with_o as_o much_o fine_a wheat_n flower_n as_o will_v bind_v &_o knit_v they_o altogether_o then_o work_v they_o into_o a_o stiff_a paste_n and_o make_v thereof_o

it_o be_v to_o prevent_v sickness_n for_o three_o or_o four_o morning_n together_o but_o if_o it_o be_v to_o take_v away_o infirmity_n then_o use_v it_o at_o least_o a_o week_n or_o more_o if_o it_o be_v to_o take_v away_o melt_a grease_n or_o foulness_n then_o instant_o after_o his_o heat_n and_o in_o his_o heat_n only_o but_o if_o it_o be_v to_o fatten_v a_o horse_n then_o use_v it_o at_o least_o a_o fortnight_n or_o more_o now_o if_o you_o find_v any_o difficulty_n in_o the_o give_n of_o it_o as_o pill_n you_o may_v then_o at_o your_o pleasure_n dissolve_v one_o of_o these_o ball_n either_o into_o sweet_a wine_n beer_n or_o ale_n and_o so_o give_v it_o the_o horse_n to_o drink_v with_o a_o horn_n but_o if_o it_o be_v to_o fatten_v and_o to_o take_v away_o infirmity_n as_o the_o run_a glander_n or_o such_o like_a then_o beside_o these_o ball_n you_o shall_v make_v you_o these_o second_o bals._n take_v of_o wheat_n flower_n six_o pound_n or_o more_o as_o shall_v suffice_v to_o make_v stiff_o the_o paste_n then_o take_v of_o aniseed_n of_o cominseed_n of_o canthumus_n of_o fenegreeke_n of_o ordinary_a brimstone_n of_o each_o two_o ounce_n of_o salet_n oil_n a_o pint_n of_o

stiff_a past_a then_o of_o this_o paste_n take_v a_o ball_n as_o big_a as_o a_o man_n fist_n and_o dissolve_v it_o in_o two_o or_o three_o gallon_n of_o clear_a cold_a run_a water_n by_o wash_v and_o

can_v drink_v too_o much_o of_o this_o water_n then_o ride_v and_o warm_v he_o a_o little_a after_o it_o then_o when_o the_o water_n be_v spend_v do_v not_o cast_v away_o the_o bottom_n but_o fill_v the_o vessel_n up_o again_o with_o new_a fresh_a water_n dissolve_v another_o ball_n therein_o and_o thus_o do_v fourteen_o day_n together_o at_o the_o least_o and_o you_o shall_v see_v wonderful_a

of_o all_o foulness_n avoyd_v melt_v grease_n and_o fortify_v nature_n so_o powerful_o that_o it_o leave_v no_o evil_a in_o the_o body_n and_o this_o small_a ball_n if_o it_o be_v for_o my_o life_n will_v i_o give_v to_o a_o horse_n immediate_o upon_o his_o draw_v forth_o if_o he_o go_v either_o to_o run_v to_o hunt_v or_o use_v any_o violent_a or_o extreme_a labour_n annther_n way_n how_o to_o
