other cure than the wounde in the belly. ¶ That token yt the bladder is wounded yt is the outcomynge of the vryne through ye place in pectine. ¶ That token yt the moder or matrix is woundyd / it shall be knowen through the place vnder ye nauyll through the outcomynge of the blood / and cure the woūde lyke another woūde with sowynge princypally whan the woūde is by ye necke of the matrix for ther is ye more flesshe / ther for the woūde is the better to make fast.

¶ The woūde in the kydney may not be he lyd / for it is feded wt the watery blood that the helynge belettyd / and also it is altymē in meuynge / and it is ye way wher through the vryne comyth. ¶ The woūde in ye blad¦der can not be helyd / for it is a synewy part without flesshe / & is altyme meuynge / & to receyue the vryne and to gyue out agayne / But the woūde yt ther is in the necke of the bladder ther it hath flesshe and blood / that may be helyd with a truwe cure / lyke as it be sene as the stone there be cutt out. which stone is growen frome longe tymes in the body of a man.

¶ Whan the woūde is in the hole of ye blad¦der there as no flesshe nor blood is that the vryne comethout / that is deedly. For all ye sowe the bladder / and laye vpon the seme this plaster solowynge.

¶ A Salue.

Take Rose hony. xxiiij. ounces. Frakencē∣se / Mastyck / Dragantum / of eche. ii. oū∣ces▪ made in powder / and medled with the rose hony. and lay aboute the wounde that defensyffe / & hele it. And ye pacyēt shal take hede for moche drynkynge tyll he be hole. ¶ As ye be called to suche pacientes that is woūdyd in suche a place / than say to theyr frendes that suche a wounde is deedly. and promyse the pacyent alway his helth.

And fyrst cōmaūde the pacyent to be confes¦sed as one that shall dye / ereuer his power fayle / and his wyt chaunge. and ther after shall you worke for his helth / for the natu¦re dothe often fayle that the surgean thyn¦keth vnpossyble to helpe it / pryncypally as nature getteth helpe with a good worke. Neuertheles ye shall not byleue no goode token that often happeneth to the pacyente. For Ipocras sath / that ye shall not tryst in the pacyente that mendeth hastly without cause / also ye shall notfere an euyll token without cause / for this dysceyueth often. And ye shall thynke alwayes that the paci¦ent shall dye / or elles he is all heled.

¶ This cure ye may take in hande in your lande / or in youre countrey there as ye are knowen. But in straunge landes take ye none suche in hande / or other woūdes that is in peryll.
