Of the fluxe of Bloud. Cap. v.

IF the fluxe of bloud,* 1.1 issuing from a veine or arterie, do let thee in obseruing this ordinaunce, thou mayste re∣streigne it thus. Rec. thuris partes du••s aloes parte Vnam, and make it into poulder, and meddle all together, cum albumine oui, to the thicknesse of hony, & pilos leporis, cutte as small as maye be possible, and so temper all together, and put thy finger in the place from whence the bloude issueth, and touche the pulse, holdinge it so the space of an houre, administring thy medicine in great quantity, and in the time of chaunginge, haue good foresight, that thou take it not away by violence. But if it cleane faste to the place, lay on more of the saide medicine in a more liquide forme, vpō the olde medicine, till it falle frō the wounde alone without violence, & then shalle the veines and ar∣teries be knit and healed, and to this medicine there is none like in restreigning of bloud, & knitting the veine.
