CHAP. VI. Of covering or repairing certain defects or defaults in the face.

IT oftentimes happeneth, that the face is deformed by the sudden fla∣shing of Gunpowder, or by a pestilent Carbuncle, so that one cannot behold it without great horrour. Such persons must be so trimmed and ordered, that they may come in seemely manner into the company of others. The lips if they bee either cut off with a sword, or deformed with the erosion or eating of a pestilent Carbuncle or ulcerated Cancer, so that the teeth may be seene to lye bare with great deformity. If the losse or consumption of the lip bee not very great, it may be repaired by that way which we have prescribed in the cure of hare, lips, or of an ulcerated Cancer. But if it be great, then must there be a lip of gold made for it, so shadowed and counterfeited, that it may not be much unlike in colour to the naturall lip, and it must be fastened and tyed to the hat or cap that the patient weareth on his head, that so it may remaine stable and firme.
