Anbury.

The Anbury is a spungy over-grown Wart, full of blood, having a root like a Cocks stone; it may grow upon any part of the Horses body, but principally it is discovered above the Eye-brows, Nostrils or Privy parts.

If it be high, take an Horses hair and tye about it very hard, making it fast, and in eight or nine days it will so eat through it, as that it will drop off; but if it be flat you must burn it off with an hot Iron, leaving none of the root behind, and dry it up with the powder of Verdigrease; with this proviso, it lye not too near any sinew; if so, eat out the Core with Mercury; then stop the hole with Flax dipt in the white of an Egge, and dry it up with unslaked Lime and Honey.
