A Remedy for a Sheep that hath lost her Quide.

If a Sheep hath lost her Quide, notwith∣standing she will eat all the day, and cast it up in the night again (which casting will be like to the Paunch of a Beast) for she cannot digest it, but pine away by little and little. For the Cure, you must take Quide-wort that groweth amongst Corn like to Groundsel, bruise a quan∣tity thereof, and then mark when you do see another Sheep chew the Quide, and take part of her Quide out of her mouth, and mix it with the bruised Quide-wort, and roll it toge∣ther, and so give it, make her swallow it, and she will do well.
