curable is those that bee of colour citrine more harder then the other and of forme round wherefore it may not be laid right downe in the eie for it will not abide there because of the said roundnesse and hardnesse of it therefore it must be laide in the corner of the eie to the eare ward there be kept with the needle a great while as is aforesaid And thus to conclude I do you to vnderstand there needeth not anie abstinence from meats which be clean and healthsome after the cure is perfectly atchieued saue only in the third kind which thing to be true experience hath taught mee Neuerthelesse it behoueth oftentimes to vse comfortatiues nutritiues for the visible spirits in the eye afterwarde Of the three kindes of Catharacts vncurable THe first kinde of Catharactes vncurable is that which the Physicians of Salerne in Italie doe call Guttam serenam and these be the signes whereby yee may knowe it when the pupil of the ey i. the place of the middest of the eye hath the depth of the visible part blacke and cleare as though it had no spotte and the eyes are alwayes moouing their lids trembling as though it were quickesiluer Verilie this kinde of Catharact is ingendred caused of a corruption in the mothers wombe and therfore they that haue these kinds of Catharactes bee blinde euen at their natiuity of which sort I haue seen many and haue assaied by many waies and medicines to cure them but the successe was not worthy my labour neither yet haue I heard that any other haue sped better in dealing with that sort Neuerthelesse in processe of time I perceiued that of this manner of Catharact ther were diuersities of kinds For som of those persons which had them might see the brightnesse of the sunne went by the way with open eies as though they had perfectly seene yea moreouer som of them might see the stature of a man or a beast or anie other thing and some enioyed this little portion of sight vnto their liues end whereas in othersome it doth vanish awaie and they become starke blinde Therefore assure your selues they that haue such maner of Catharacts be deplorat and without al possibilitie of cure by mans hand For why the nerue optique is deplorate and mortified so that there is no manner of helpe in power of hand or medicine for them and this aforesaide kinde is called Gutta serena because it is engendred of a corruption comming downe from the braine like a droppe of water which one droppe corrupteth and dissolueth all the humour naturall in the eye in so much that from thence forwards the concaue hollow nerues be oppilat and ouerlaid in that the visible spirits may no more passe downe by them into the eye The second kinde of Catharact vncurable is that which doth appeare in the eye of greene colour like water standing in watrie places not much mooued with running This sort is yet worse then al the other and springeth of the immoderate and excessiue coldenesse of the brayne with great beating and diseases of the head with vnmeasurable fasting such like The third and last kind of curelesse catharacts bee those in which the circles may not bee seene within the tunicles of the eye but the eye appeareth all ouer blacke or all ouer white and who so busieth himselfe to cure anie of these three kinds of Catharacts he abuseth his time and labour more worthie to bee reproued for his ignoraÌ„ce then any wayes commended for his fruitlesse diligence Here followeth the cure of Ophthalmia and other diseases of the eies THis Ophthalmia is an inflaÌ„matioÌ„ of the whol eye hapning by som great diffluxion from the brain and in the tunicle of the eie which is called coniunctiua this infirmitie is somtimes cured by dropping into the eye womans milke with the white of an egge and especially if it shall happen from some outwarde cause or from bloud If it chance to happen by some blowe or through colde then the yolke of an egge boyled hard and mixed with oyle of roses and a little saffron must be applyed If it shall happen through dust or smoak wash the eie with colde water if from repletion or fulnesse open the head veine which is a present remedie if the humors be grosse and thicke administer an euaporation of the decoction of lentiles with water also wash the eye with sponges intincted in a decoction of foenugraeck In this disease it is verie good to vse abstineÌ„ce from meate and drinke the dyet must incline to colde and moysture Wine egs and all sweete things are hurtfull An excellent Collyrium which doth mitigate re presse and beat backe heat inflammation TAke the muscelage of psyllium of gum

flowre of barley and oyle of roses make an emplaster which must bee applied to the temples of the forehead or dippe linnen clothes in the iuyces and applie them to the forehead The face may be washed with running water rose-water mixed with a little vinegar so that will alter the biting humor flowing to the eye If the eye happen to bee hurt or wounded with a thorne needle or knife we must presently make repercussion Take bole armonick sanguis draconis tutia prepared gum arabick dragant of either a dram make a powder mix therwith 6. ounces of rose-rosewater in a glasse viol then let it stand in hot water the space of an howr theÌ„ afterwards add 1. ounce of the wine of pomgranats so let it stand for 1. whol daie then straine it of that straining put a little into the eie Morn Euen and for to lay ouer you shall frame an emplaster with the iuices of houslike niteshade of either two ounces or in their place take rosewater bole armonicke myrrh gumdragant and araback of either one ounce make it into pouder and so apply it in the form of an emplaster to the eyes for it doth both beat back and cure For spots or webs in the eie beeing remaining after the cure we must presently vse this remedie Take young Pyes out of the nest a little before they are readie to flie let them bee cleane puld and cut in peeces and then distilled of which water put into the eyes an houre before supper and in the morning it remoueth away al redness spots and cataracts this remedie is confirmed by experience some doe affirme the same virtue to be in Consolidaregalis Sometimes the eyes do weepe
