Paston is a French word, and signifieth no more than a Plaister; but I shall assure you this Paston or Plaister is somewhat more than ordi∣nary; for according to the opinion of the most expert, it is a sovereign Remedy for many Sor∣rances,
especially for dissipating and dissolving all evil humours descending into the leggs, there afflicting the poor Creature after a grievous manner.
The Receipt of making this Paston or Plaister is: take of common Honey one pound, of Tur∣pentine half a pound, Bole-armoniack and Fran∣kincense finely pulverized of each four ounces, of Mastich beaten into powder two ounces, of Sanguis Draconis two ounces, of new-laid Eggs seven, of the strongest white Wine-vinegar one pint, of the flower of Rice seven ounces; incor∣porate these together: use this Plaister-wise, and it will work wonderful effects.
