¶ The Vertues.
The iuyce of Thorne-apples boiled with hogs grease to the forme of an vnguent or salue, cureth [ A] all inflammations whatsoeuer, all manner of burnings or scaldings, as well of fire, water, boyling leade, gun-pouder, as that which comes by lightning, and that in very short time, as my self haue found by my dayly practise, to my great credit and profit. The first experience came from Col∣chester, where Mistresse Lobel a Merchants wise there being most grieuously burned with light∣ning, and not finding ease or cure in any other thing, by this found helpewhen all hope was past, by the report of Mr. William Ramme, publique Notarie of the said towne, was perfectly cured.
The leaues stamped small, and boiled with oyle Oliue vntill the herbes be as it were burnt, then [ B] strained and set to the fire againe with some wax, rosin, and a little Turpentine, and made into a salue, doth most speedily cure old vlcers, new and fresh wounds, vlcers vpon the glandulous part of the yard, and other sores of hard curation.
