Chapter THe Lampasse called of the Italians Lampastus proceedeth of the aboundance of bloude resorting to the firste forrowe of the mouth I meane that which is next vnto the vpper fore-teeth causing the sayd sorrow to swell so hye as the horses teeth so as he can not chowe his meate but is forced to let it fall out of his mouth The remedy is to cut all the superfluous fleshe away with a croked hote Iron made of purpose which euery smyth can doe Of the canker in the mouth The .xlii.

Secretary Cicill can well testifye Who I thanke him of his goodnes vouchsafed to peruse my first draught and misliked not the same But after that I hadde translated two bookes therof and sawe to what inconueniēce I was bound hauing to folowe so doubtfull phrases maners of speaking and so confuse an order of writing as in my iudgement he vseth being in dede a far better doer then a writer by meanes whereof he is constreyned to make manye repeticions of one thinge and to vse more wordes then nede I coulde not satisfy my selfe therwith And therfore leauing to translate any further I sought howe to bring so good a matter as that is into a new forme better if it might be and therby to make it the playner and also the briefer in which my doinge I truste if Grison him selfe were liuing I should not offende him at all For sith it was his intent to make other men partakers of his excellent knowledge in this art so necessary to be lerned and therfore of ryght to be published it wolde not greue hym then to haue his meaning so playnly expressed in an other tong as the readers might casely vnderstand the same Which whether I haue so done or not I refer that to your L. iudgement who hath no small skill not onely in both tunges but also in the art selfe wherein your H. is a chiefe mayster aswell by knowledge as also by office and therfore most mete to be both iudge and patrone of this booke Which if it shall please your H. to receyue wyth a willynge hande and seme to allowe my doyng therin by encouraging the esquires and ryders of the stable in breakyng the Queenes Ma. horses sometimes to folow thinstructions therof and the rather for that old Alexander their firste mayster was him selfe as I vnderstande sometyme Grysons scholer and so geue an example to all others in like maner to

the soner it be taken in hand the better The cure according to Martin is thus If it be not broken rype it with a playster of Hogges greace layde vnto it so hote as maye be and make a Byggyn for the powle of hys heade to kepe it from colde which Biggen woulde haue two holes open so as his eares may stande out and renue the playster euery day once vntill it breake keping the sore place as warme as may be And if you see that it will not breake so sone as you woulde haue it then there as it is softest and moste metest to be opened take a rounde hote yron as byg as your little fynger and sharpe at the poynte and two ynches beneath that soft place thrust it in a good depenesse vpwarde so as the poynte of the yron may come out at the rypest place to the intent that the matter may discende downeward come out at the neather hole whiche woulde be alwayes kepte open and therefore taynt it with a taynt of Flaxe dypt in Hogges greace and lay a playster of Hogges greace also vpon the same renuing it euery day once the space of foure dayes which is done chiefly to kill the heat of the fyre Then at the foure dayes ende take of Turpintyne halfe a pounde cleane washed in nine sundry waters after that thorowly dryed by thrusting out the water wyth a felyce on the dyshes side then put therevnto two yolkes of Egges and a little Saffron and myngle them well together that done searche the depth of the hole with a wholle quill and make a taynt of a peece of sponge so long as it may reache the bottom and so big as it may fill the wounde and annoynt the taynt with the foresayde oyntment and thrust it into the wounde eyther with that quill or else by winding it vp with your finger and thombe by little and little vntill you haue thrust it home and then lay on the playster of Hogs greace made luke warme renuing it euery day once or twice vntill it be whole But if the swelling ceasse then you neede not to vse the playster but onelye to taynt it and as the matter decreaseth so make your taynt euery day lesser and lesser vntil the wounde be perfectly whole Of the Uyues The .xxxvi. Chapter THe Uyues be certaine kirnels growing vnder the horses eare proceding of some rank or corrupt bloud resorting to that place which within are full of little whyte graynes like whyte salte kirnelles The Italians call them Viuole which if they be suffered to growe Laurētius Russius sayth that they will grieuously pain the horse in his throte so as he shall not be able to swallow his meat nor to breath They be easy to know for that they may be felte and also sene The cure according to Martin is in this sorte Firste draw them ryghte downe in the mydst with a hote Iron from the rote of the eare so farre as the tippe of the eare wil reach being pulled downe and vnder the roote againe drawe two strykes on eche syde lyke an arrowe heade in this forme then in the midst of the first lyne launce them with a launcet and taking holde of the kirnelles with a payre of Pynsons pull them so farre forwarde as you may cut the kirnelles out without hurting the vayne that done fill the hole with white salt But Hierocles would haue them to be cured in this sorte Take a piece of Sponge sowsed well in strong Uineger binde that to the sore renuing it twice a day vntill it hath rotted the kirnelles that done launce it in the nethermoste parte where the matter lyeth and let it out and then fill it vp with salte finely brayed and the nexte day washe all the filth away with warme water and annoynte the place with Hony and Fytch flower myngled together But beware you touche none of the kirnelles with your bare finger for feare of venoming the place which is very apt for a Fistula to breede in Of the cancorous Ulcer in the nose The .xxxvii. Chapter THIS disease is a fretting humor eating and consuming the fleshe and making it all rawe within and not being holpen in tyme will eate thorow the gristle of the nose It commeth of a corrupt bloude or else of sharpe hunger ingendred by meanes of some extreme cold The signes be these He will bleede at the nose and all the fleshe within wil be rawe and filthy stinking sauours and matter will come out at his nose The cure according to Martin is thus Take of grene Corporas of Alom of eche one pounde of whyte Corporas one quarterne and boyle these in a Pottell of running water vntill a pynte be consumed then take it of and put thervnto halfe a pynte of hony then cause his heade to be holden vp with a drinking staffe and squirt into his nosetrilles with a squirte of Brasse or rather of Elder some of this water being luke warme thre or foure tymes one after another but betwixt euery drinking giue him libertye to holde downe his heade and to blowe out the fylthy matter for otherwyse perhappes you may choke hym And after this it shall be good also without holding vp his heade any more to washe and rub hys nosetrilles with a fyne cloute bounde to a whyte stickes ende and wet in the water aforesayde and serue him thus once a day vntill he be whole Of bléeding at the nose The .xxxviii. Chapter I Haue seene horses my selfe that haue bledde at the nose which haue had neyther sore nor Ulcer in their nose and therfore I can not choose but say wyth the Phisitians that it commeth by meanes that the vayne which endeth in that place is eyther opened broken or fretted It is opened many tymes by meanes that bloud aboundeth to muche or for that it is to fyne or to subtill and so pearceth thorow the vayne Againe it may be broken by some vyolent strayne cutte or blowe And finally it may be fretted or gnawen through by the sharpnesse of the bloude or else of some other euyll humor contayned therein As touching the cure Martin sayth it is good to take a pynte of redde Wyne and to put therein a quarterne of Bole Armeni beaten into fine powder and being made luke warme to poure the one halfe thereof the first day into his nosetril that bleedeth causing his heade to be holden vp so as the lyquor may not fall out and the next day to giue him the other half But if this preuayleth not then I for my parte woulde cause him to be lette bloude in the breast vayne on the same syde that he bledeth at seuerall tymes Then take Franconcense one ounce of Aloes halfe an ounce and beate them into fyne powder and mingle them thorowlye with the whytes of Egges vntill it be so thicke as Honye and wyth soft Hares hayre thruste it vppe into his nosetrill fylling the hole so full as it can not fall out or
