To make the berde growe, and to keepe that the heares fall not of.
TAke as many Bees as you shall thinke good, whan menne do emptie the Hiues, and burne them in a fire pan, and make a very fine pouder of them, and incorporate them togither. Thē you shal make some oile of greene Lisardes that be drouned in comon oile colde, and shall put it in a bottle of glasse before the fire, and make it boile vntill the Lizardes brast, than take it of and set it in the sunne the space of xv. or xx. daies, and keepe it so with the beastes in it and it will be an oile as cleere as fine Gold, and will keepe wel. Incorporate the said pouder with this oile, and anoint morning and euening the bare place wher you will that the beare shall not fall of, and they will not fall awaie, but growe aboundantly. But first you must make some lie with the ashes of vines, and boile in it these three herbes, that is to saie, Capillus veneris, Agrimonie, and Edera arborea, of eche of them fiue hand∣fuls, and whan it is sodden, straine it, and keepe it from dust, and washe your head with it twise of thrise a weke, and whan it is drie anoint your self with this ointment, & by the meanes of this washing the heares will growe thicke and longe: for it augmenteth the length of them, and kepeth them from falling. This hath bene experimented and proued of diuers menne, that haue bene very pild and balde.
