great cures therwyth ¶ Of woundes com by venymous stynges or of wode doggys bytynges or of snakes adders scorpyons or of other suche lyke Ca. xxij WYll you beholpen of the venym bytynges of beestes So it is good that ye folowe y e lernynge of master Auicenna Rasys Rabbi moyses and Heuricus For they haue spokeÌ„ of all venym And the cure therof whiche belongeth more to the phesycon than to the surgyon And all suche bytynge woundes it is in ii maners The one is done of a venymous beest y e other is done of no vem mobeest In lykenys as the bytynge of a man or womaÌ„ or of a dogge of an hogge horse or a katte or there lykenes ¶ The venymous bytynge of mad dogges y e styngynge of a snake or adder or y e poysonynge of a â—oode or of a spyder or ony other lyke venymous beest ¶ It is in two maners to haue in cure The one is to take away the venymous matter by the â–ª heâ—…cyon within defenddynge the body from hurte through the whiche hurte the racyente may be in ieopardy of his lyfe ¶ The other maner is the venyme without shal be taken away by the Surgean and shall be caused to growe flesshe and than heled kepe the hole of the wouÌ„de some dayes opeÌ„er ye begynne to cure the wounde ¶ The knowledge of the bytynge of a venymous beest ye may knowe by the compleynynge of the pacyent for he shall haue grete payne and brennynge in his body wherby ye may knowe it is to hym greate harme and greffe for the venym or poysone desyreth none other but to ouercome the harte And to suche venymous bytynges or styngynges it behoned you to take good hede And yf so be that the parson in the begynnynge fele not the token it wyll afterward apere as paraduenture a moneth after a yere aftor vii yeres after so may it be For I haue sene a chylde byteÌ„ of a mad dogge y e wouÌ„de was heled and a yere after y e same wouÌ„de began the rotte and y e chylde was mad and dyed therof ¶ Wherfore yf there come ony parson to you dyten of any beest that is not venymous and no token on them apâ—ie ye nede to do none other thynge than you do to another cure ¶ The cure of bytynge of all venymous beestes Galienus in tertio terapen sayth whan that y e payne cometh of a styngynge or bytynge of a beest you shall take away the payne and also the venyme by boxynge or lettynge out of wyn de or brennynge with a hote Iron or w t a warme bath and this maketh loose the hole substaunce of the wounde or lay ther to some drye thynge hote to take a waye the benyâ—e Therfore coÌ„maundeth Lanfrancus and other surgyons to set therto a ventous and take away the venymous bloode or that euyll bloode shall be seâ—ed or brent with a hote Iron or cauteries that the coÌ„mon people breÌ„neth w t a kaye of his chyrch ¶ Upon suche a wounde som layth a symple medecyne to drawe out the venyme y e whiche is done with garlyke and with on â—ons stamped with buter Also as Guido sayth dothe the common people for lacke of surgyan in lyke wyse they take a hynne plucketh the fethers from her arse and layeth y e hennes arse all quycke vpon y e wouÌ„de and the henne dyeth of the venyme that cometh out of y e wouÌ„de The wounde shal be open at the leest xl dayes Than the inwardly cure behoueth more for the phesycy on thaÌ„ for y e surgyaÌ„ Ye shall knowe howe to take away the venymous blode ¶ In the begynnynge you shall not let out the blode of the vayne bycause that y e venym sholde not be sprede through all y e meÌ„bres and also gyue them nothynge laxatyue in the bely that y e venym go not w t in thrugh all the membres therfore must be set y e ven toâ—e aforesayd whyche strongly pulleth to hym the venymous blode after the thyrd daye it is good to be let blode on the vayne and so to cause the Melancoly with lyght medecynes as in dressynge Epitimy with gootes mylke and he must be in rest of his harte Also he must take and â—ethe the heed and fete of a yelded shepe and in the brothe therof often tymes wasâ—he his feete And if it be so that the parson may not beholen w t the symple drynes thaÌ„ shall ye make hym a composita ¶ A drye powder Make this composyta of licium assa dulcis bolus armenicus terra sigillata abscinthiuÌ„ nigella genciana all these medled togeder so take it in Or take y e asshes of a crefysshe that is dryed in an ouen take therof iiii partes and frankeÌ„sence ii partes medied them to gyder make therof a powder and take therof euery daye ii dranes

that he can gyue none answere ye nor nay it is the token ofmelancoly which weketh y e nature for that ye shall gyue theÌ„ this medecynes of Cantarides that dryueth oute through the vryne the melancolyous blode yfit be possyble And the medecyne ye must make after this maner Take Cantarides that is greate and olde and ther of cut away the heedes foote fatnes and take therof half anouÌ„te
