Cominseeds an handfull of Wheat flower and boyle them together till they be thicke then apply this Pultus very hot to the sweld part renewing it but once in foure and twentie howres and if this in two or three dayes drawes it to an head then launce it and heale it either with a plaster of Shoomakers wax or else with the yealke of an Egge Wheat flowre and Honey beat●n together to a Salue But if it doe not draw to any head and yet the swelling continue then take of Pitch a quarter of a pounds and much Virgin Wax of Rozen halfe a pound of the Iuice of Isop halfe an ounce of Galbanum halfe an

it about the sweld member or lay it vpon the sweld part if any thing then this will asswage it and giue much strength to the Sinewes You shall by no meanes remoue this Plaister so long as it will sticke on This Plaster I must confesse is costly and curious to make but it is wonderfull soueraine and of singular vse For the Horse that is continually kept with it I meane that hath it applyed to his Limbes euer when he commeth from trauell he shall neuer be troubled with sweld Legges nor yet euer put out Wind● gals Now if you will neither goe to this cost nor endure this trouble yet would haue youre Horse cured of this Infirmitie then assuredly● know not any thing better or more approued then continually both before and after trauell and in the House nany times in the day to laue and wash your Horses limbes or other sweld parts with the coldest and clearest Fountain Water that you can get and sometimes let the Horse stand in some cold cleare Riuer for the space of a quarter of an

Then when i● is thorowly well perfumed put the Lint into a very close Boxe and s● keepe it Then when you haue occasion to vse it first wash the Sore with Vrine then dry it and lastly lay o● some of this Lint or Towe and thus doe twice a day and it is a speedy Cure As this is soueraine for an Horse so it is as soueraine for any man also To cure the running Frush or any Impostumation in the soale of the Foot to dry vp Scratches Paines and the like cankerous Sores TAke old Vrine and boyle it with good stoore of Allome and keepe it in a close Vessell by it selfe then take a good handfull or two

very fine Powder then looke what quantity of Powder there is and take the like quantity of Pepper beaten to as fine a Powder mixe both very well together then keepe this Powder in a close Bladder Now when you haue occasion to vse it first wash the sore place with the Vrine and Allome made verie warme and the sores thoroughly scowred after dry them with a fine Lawne or Linnen ragge and lastly strow
