¶ Of the wounde bytwene the hyppes / and the ne∣ther parte of the backe. Ca. liij (Book 53)
IN this woūde is no grete peryll / but yf it be very great / yt the skyn flesshe / and the synewes be hurt / yt the same synewes be schronkē so shal ye man halte. ¶ If ye wounde be cut with a knyfe sworde or oterlyke wepē. If the woūde be smal / it shall be boūde after ye. xij. chap. ¶ If the woūde be grete yt it must be sowē / than sowe & bynde it after the. xij. chaptre. & shall be heled as another woūde wt ye gre¦ne wounded plaster / or bawm / as it is afor¦sayd. ¶ If ye woūde be strykē wt a dagger / ye shal tente it wt a comely tēte depte in oyle of roses warme / and with ye yolke of egges and so put it therin as farre as ye may with the foresaydoyle / vnto the tyme the woūde begyn to gyue matter / then clense it and he le it as another woūde. ¶ Je may aske me wherfore I haue lerned to put so moche rose oyle in the woūde / and that I haue forbyd∣den the rose oyle in the. xij. and. xiij. chapt. Thervpō answere I / that ye sholde be the surer & faster in your workyng / & that ther to the lesser com the yll accydentes of ye hote impostumacyō. It is more profytable such euyll accydēt to defende / thā ye yll accydēt to drawe away / for the nature of ye oyle by ye warmnes getynge of the fyre / is swettyn¦ge / softenynge / & openynge / pryncypally in the narow and shoten woūdes / for a stycke or a woūde come to matter than cometh sel¦dome ther to euyll accydent. Therfore I cō¦maūde you to do therto a lytell of the yolke of an egge / for the woūde to get a lytell clē synge / yt the matter sooner shold come. And al tymes is very good to make such an oyle of roses of vnrype grene oyle olyue / for the ••ose oyle & such oyle olyue haue in them aly¦tel bytynge wt styptica. Also ye rype oyle oly¦ue is good to make rype ye yl accidēt / ye myd¦dell rype oyle doth auoyde ye matter / ye vn∣rype grene oyle is good for ye cōsolidatiuū and for helynge togyder the wounde.
If ye woūde be made by ye shot of an arowe in this parte of the body / than drawe it out
