causes for with his biting blastes it hurteth the stomacke very much and ouerturneth it Further with his immoderate drawing it doth open the vaines with his sharpnes doth excoriat the verie intrailes and by that meanes bringeth great paines for which cause Galen doth mixe him with Quinces others do boile it with Galingale Ginger Aniseed Daucus or Smaledge seedes or with the muscledge of Psyllium or boile it in a sower or tart apple to make it more milde but by the Spagiricall preparation it may be made so commodious to be vsed that it may be mixed with any other medicines without any danger and safly ministred to purge choller and fleame Dissolue Scammonie in oile of Masticke drawen out by the art spagirical with the spirit of wine that being done digest it eight daies in Balneo close

places choler To prepare Euforbium Sagapenum and Opoponax you must dissolue them first in white rose vineger distilled in Balneo then straine them through a searce from all their terrestriall matter and thus thou shalt doe 3. times that it may bee the purer then vapor away the vineger that the sharpenes may be taken away with often washing it with rose water for these medicines are sharpe and of a thinne and fierie substance but Euphorbium of all gummes is the hottest subtillest swiftest and burneth most with a fierie force as Galen witnesseth which it doth with such violence that we must greatly beware of the vse of it except it bee rightly prepared Serapio and Auicen haue written that ʒ iij. taken of it doth kil and yet Aetius and Actuarius vsed it not only to purge fleame but also mightily to expulse all sharpe excrements And Dioscorides witnesseth that we must giue it to the sicke of Ischiadis onely mingled with honie Paulus also saith ʒ i. of Euforbium being dronke with honie

that it may be couered sixe fingers then digest it in Balneo 3. weekes being close nipped and in that time it will loose all his sharpnes but if it be digested a longer time the extraction will wax
