mouth_n and_o in_o case_n thou_o perceive_v any_o such_o thing_n take_v woodsorrel_n and_o the_o abovesaid_a rind_n of_o hawthorn_n make_v a_o decoction_n of_o it_o and_o put_v in_o it_o a_o little_a allom_n and_o often_o gargarise_v with_o it_o clean_n thy_o tooth_n from_o the_o slime_n with_o water_n well_o sharpen_v with_o vitriol_n the_o common_a inflammation_n of_o the_o mouth_n may_v be_v cure_v with_o frequent_a wash_n of_o the_o mouth_n take_v a_o gargarism_n make_v of_o house-leek_n lettuce_n nightshade_n or_o self-heal_a water_n mix_v a_o little_a honey_n of_o rose_n and_o mul-berry-juyce_n with_o it_o of_o this_o gargarism_n the_o patient_n be_v also_o to_o swallow_v a_o little_a thereby_o to_o moisten_v the_o throat_n some_o take_v house-leek_n and_o beat_v it_o and_o put_v to_o a_o pound_n of_o it_o half_o a_o ounce_n of_o sal-armoniack_a mix_v it_o well_o together_o and_o so_o they_o put_v it_o for_o some_o day_n in_o a_o earthen_a pot_n glaze_v under_o ground_n

little_a unpleasant_a but_o there_o be_v nothing_o better_a to_o allay_v this_o inflammation_n than_o niter_n which_o be_v so_o well_o know_v among_o soldier_n that_o they_o be_v wont_v to_o give_v one_o another_o gunpowder_n to_o drink_v which_o powder_n perform_v this_o effect_n not_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o coal_n or_o brimstone_n but_o the_o saltpetre_n for_o this_o cause_n experience_v physician_n and_o surgeon_n endeavour_v to_o purify_v niter_n for_o this_o use_n that_o it_o may_v have_v the_o great_a effect_n and_o this_o they_o do_v in_o manner_n follow_v they_o take_v of_o the_o pure_a niter_n they_o can_v get_v as_o much_o as_o they_o think_v fit_a they_o beat_v it_o to_o a_o fine_a powder_n and_o melt_v it_o in_o a_o large_a crucible_n and_o whilst_o it_o boil_v up_o and_o foam_v they_o pour_v into_o it_o a_o little_a powder_a sulphur_n and_o so_o let_v it_o boil_v together_o till_o the_o blue_a sulphur-flame_n cease_v then_o they_o cast_v in_o more_o fresh_a sulphur_n which_o they_o repeat_v often_o and_o then_o pour_v out_o the_o niter_n into_o a_o earthen_a vessel_n glaze_v make_v lozenge_n of_o it_o of_o which_o they_o put_v one_o pulverize_v into_o a_o quart_n of_o limpid_a water_n and_o so_o give_v the_o patient_n to_o drink_v of_o it_o as_o much_o as_o he_o need_v to_o quench_v his_o thirst_n or_o they_o give_v of_o this_o purify_a niter_n to_o their_o patient_n labour_v under_o this_o inflammation_n the_o quantity_n of_o a_o ducat_n or_o half_a a_o ducat_n weight_n in_o broth_n or_o in_o ptisan_n till_o they_o find_v the_o

proceed_v with_o as_o before_o for_o lead_n be_v a_o considerable_a cool_a of_o which_o cool_v quality_n the_o niter_n whilst_o it_o be_v melt_v upon_o it_o take_v in_o not_o a_o little_a let_v then_o your_o lead_n melt_v and_o when_o it_o be_v melt_v dissolve_v the_o niter_fw-la upon_o it_o and_o then_o to_o purify_v it_o cast_v some_o brimstone_n into_o it_o as_o be_v say_v above_o till_o it_o be_v cleanse_v from_o all_o impurity_n and_o then_o give_v of_o it_o to_o thy_o patient_n two_o or_o three_o time_n a_o day_n according_a as_o need_v shall_v require_v otherwise_o take_v live_v crafish_n and_o fresh_a house-leek_n beat_v they_o together_o in_o a_o mortar_n squeeze_v out_o the_o juice_n with_o it_o mix_v a_o little_a sal-armoniack_a or_o a_o pretty_a deal_n of_o thy_o prepare_a niter_n make_v a_o potion_n of_o it_o and_o give_v of_o it_o even_o cold_a to_o thy_o patient_n repeat_v this_o several_a time_n every_o eight_o or_o ten_o hour_n once_o according_a as_o you_o shall_v see_v occasion_n or_o take_v fresh_a lard_n if_o it_o be_v salt_v draw_v it_o through_o hot_a water_n to_o unsalt_n it_o and_o cut_v a_o slice_n of_o it_o two_o finger_n large_a and_o of_o the_o thickness_n of_o a_o knife_n back_o put_v this_o into_o the_o mouth_n of_o thy_o patient_n it_o be_v a_o excellent_a remedy_n against_o this_o inflammation_n of_o which_o i_o shall_v give_v the_o reason_n hereafter_o i_o have_v see_v wonder_n do_v with_o it_o but_o if_o thy_o patient_n do_v rave_v then_o fasten_v this_o slice_n of_o lard_n with_o a_o thread_n and_o needle_n to_o his_o shirt_n or_o doublet_n lest_o he_o swallow_v it_o or_o take_v fresh_a butter_n and_o put_v it_o in_o cold_a water_n and_o of_o it_o give_v thy_o patient_n at_o a_o time_n the_o quantity_n of_o a_o hazelnut_n to_o hold_v it_o upon_o his_o tongue_n and_o let_v it_o melt_v there_o which_o will_v keep_v the_o tongue_n always_o moist_a and_o if_o thou_o work_v among_o this_o butter_n some_o of_o thy_o prepare_a niter_n it_o have_v a_o wonderful_a effect_n though_o the_o taste_n be_v not_o pleasant_a i_o promise_v above_o to_o explain_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o cure_n of_o these_o inflammation_n when_o you_o take_v a_o gargarism_n of_o the_o water_n of_o nightshade_n woodsorrel_n knotgrass_n endive_n house-leek_n and_o the_o like_a mingle_v with_o vinegar_n you_o do_v well_o but_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o the_o reason_n be_v if_o you_o wet_v a_o piece_n of_o leather_n you_o make_v it_o indeed_o limber_a but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v dry_a it_o grow_v hard_a and_o shrink_v except_o you_o grease_n it_o over_o with_o some_o fatty_a matter_n and_o then_o it_o will_v remain_v smooth_a so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o tongue_n though_o it_o be_v make_v clean_o with_o gargarism_n yet_o will_v it_o become_v again_o rough_a and_o untoward_a unless_o some_o fatness_n be_v use_v for_o which_o cause_n i_o have_v direct_v to_o use_v lard_n or_o butter_n mix_v with_o niter_n if_o the_o almond_n be_v swell_v thou_o must_v abstain_v from_o all_o sour_a thing_n and_o prepare_v a_o gargarism_n of_o figgs_n st._n john_n bread_n mallows-flower_n liquorice_n elder-cane_n mix_v with_o it_o some_o rose-honey_n or_o juice_n of_o walnut_n or_o the_o rob_n diamorom_n gargle_a often_o with_o it_o see_v that_o this_o symptom_n be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n for_o when_o the_o throat_n swell_v of_o it_o few_o patient_n do_v escape_v death_n especial_o if_o it_o be_v a_o pestilential_a squinancy_n and_o in_o case_n there_o appear_v any_o tumour_n outward_o take_v fine_a flower_n milk_n and_o saffron_n make_v a_o pulse_n of_o it_o and_z to_o keep_v it_o from_o grow_v hard_a mix_v with_o it_o althea-salve_n or_o houndstongue-salve_n the_o oil_n of_o blue_a violet_n mullein_n white_a lily_n camomile_n or_o the_o like_a add_v a_o little_a oil_n of_o scorpion_n to_o it_o and_o apply_v this_o outward_o make_v also_o a_o scraper_n of_o alder-wood_n if_o it_o may_v be_v have_v if_o not_o other_o wood_n will_v serve_v though_o alder_n be_v best_a throw_v it_o into_o cold_a water_n and_o let_v it_o lie_v there_o use_v it_o as_o often_o as_o there_o be_v need_n
