AS in others so in this, the accident first must be remooued and then the vlcer cured. The accident
is to be dealt withal, according to the humor wherof it riseth. If the swelling therefore be of a hote humor, cōsider whether it be yet flowing, or else do•• rest, and settle in the part affected. If it bee flowing, it requir••th euacuation, both from the part whence it ••loweth (whether it be th•• whole bodye, or some part) which is done by bludler∣ting, thinne & cooling diet, with pur∣ging medicines: as also from the part, whither it floweth: which is to bee wayed in two respectes•• for eyther it floweth to that part, as being drawen of the part•• or els, as sent thither only. If it were thitherto drawen, it must b•• drawen back again•• by bloudletting, cupping fricatiōs & ligatures, al done on the cōtrary side. But if it were sen•• thither, then vse bea••ers backe, apply∣ing namely•• 〈…〉〈…〉 boyled in vino austero, or stamped: or, malum cotoneū acerbum, boyled cū puluere myr∣thi. or els a medicine made ex lentibus coctis, & mixe thē cum puluere malicorij, rosarū, & terebin. Wherunto if you shal adde sarinam fabarum, hord••i, ••ritic••, & chamomillam, you shall ••ot only make the medicine more gentle, but in the
augmentation of the Tumor, more profitable also. If the humor be al re∣sting in the part affected, it is to bee discussed with a cataplasme, ex decoct. maluae, absynthij, in vino dulci, cum fari∣na ••em, lini, fae••ugraedi, & furfu••e. or els, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 farinae tritici, oleo com••••ni, & croc••. These sodden in water to the fourme of a pult••is. If the humor whereof this tumor r••seth be colde, discusse it, with this plaster: Rec. mum••̄ae ••d cr••ssi∣••iem in vino coctae•• ℥••j. aesypi, ℥.ij. farinae 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ℥••ss•• boyle them & ••ake them a cataplasme. The tumo•• thus done awaie, proceede to digest•• ••••••••difye, incarne, and consolidate the vlcer.
