of verdigrease an ounce, ye shall first kill your quicksiluer in a bladder, with a spone full or two of the iuice of an orringe, or a limon, in rubbing and chafing them in the bladder till the quicksiluer be cleane kild. Then put your hogs grease in a morter, or dish, with your verdigrease, so beat them well together. Then put to your quicksiluer, and beat thē al well together, and so kéep it, and when your horse hath thē fashi∣on or farcy, in rising on the vaines like knobs and bunches, then annoint them round, and all ouer those knots or bun∣ches. Use this once a day, or as ye shall sée cause, for they wil go no further, but grow to a matter, and when ye shall feele them soft, launce them, and the matter will run out, and so daie by and heale againe. Also in the nointing him, ye shall put into each of his eares one good sponefull of the iuice of ragwart, some call it slylote, a weede growing in field: and this will helpe him in few daies.
