but to goe where you thinke good without any perill or danger and this order haue I vsed a long time as diuers of my friends can testifie Of Concussions or Bruises as well in the Head as any other place COncussion or Bruises in the head or any other place of the body of the antient Physitians hath béene counted dangerous to heale for they say that Concussions must be brought to putrifaction and turned into matter which opinions I doe allow for by me those Concussions or bruises is very easie to bée dissolved without maturation And that I doe with our Oleo Benedicto and Magno Licore as much

humours that they will not suffe● the wound to be healed The true way therefore so helpe those wounds is to stitch them well in his place and dresse it vpon the wound with clothes wet in Oleum
