Lac, Mylke.

Molke contayneth in it three substaūces. The Curde, the Butter, & the Whay. Mylke of it selfe is a good nourishment, the whay is abstersiue, and laxeth the belly: the curde is grosse and cleauing, or stoping of poares: and therefore it tempereth y^e sharp∣nesse of other medycines. Butter is matu∣ratyue, & resolutiue of swellinges: Mylke with Peable stones or Iron fyered, and er∣tincte in the same, is good for the bloudy Flure, and sharpe rhewmes in the Belly: Mylke is also good against rhewmes of the Eyes, vlcerations of the Loonges, and of all inwarde partes. The Asses mylke is thynnest: the Cowe mylke grossest: the goates mylke of a meane substaunce: most temperate mylke is womans mylke: nexte to that goates mylke, then followeth Asses mylke, shéepes mylke, & cowe mylke. Milke that hath most of whay & lesse of curde, is to all persons of lesse perill, as the milke that hath most curde & lesse whay is most daun∣gerous for them y^t haue opilations of the li∣uer, or splene. Milke is not good for them y^t haue weake heads & wyndy stomacks. Much vse of milke doth perish y^e teeth, & specially

that milke which hath most curdes: there∣fore after milke, y^e teeth ought to be washed wyth hunny and water.
