The Colledg] Take of the leaves of hoth sorts of Scurvy-grass, of each six pound; having bruised them, press the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 out of them, with which mix of the Juyce of Brooklime, and Water-cesses, of each one pound and an half, of the best white wine eight pound, twelve whole Lemmons, pills and all, fresh 〈◊〉〈◊〉 roots four pound, the roots of wild Raddishes two pound; Capt. winters Cinnamon half a pound, Nut∣megs four ounces; steep them altogether and then di∣stil them.

Culpeper] A. In their former Dispensatory, when they had that Ingenuity left to confess where they had their medicines; I gave them a modest term, and said they borrowed them from such or such an Au∣thor; but now all ingenuity hath left them, and no∣thing but Self remains in them, and they abscond their Authors; I know not what to say, unless I should say they: stole them: whether this be their own or not I know not, 'tis something like them, a churlish medicine, to a churlish Colledg; I fancy it not, and so I leave it; I suppose they intended it for purgation of women in childbed, and 'tis as fit for it, as a Sow is for a Saddle.
