Lohoch è Pulmone Vulpis. Page 81. in Lat. Book. Or, Lohoch of Fox Lungs.

The Colledg] Take of Fox Lungues rightly prepa∣red, juyce of Liquoris, Maiden-hair, Annis seeds, sweet Fennel seeds, of each equal parts, Sugar dissol∣ved in Coltsfoot and Scabious water and boyled into a Syrup, three times their waight; the rest being in fine pouder, let them be put to it and strongly stirred toge∣ther, that it may be made into a Lohoch according to art.

Culpeper] A. Look what pains the Colledg hath taken in altering this Receipt, here is a little Scabi∣ous water added and that's all: Why should they think themselves wiser than Mesue, when they are not (God knows) half so honest.

A. Mesue appoints sixteen ounces of Honey, and no Sugar nor uncertain quantity of any thing, and reason it self will tell you Honey is most densing.

A It clenseth and uniteth ulcers in the Lungs and breast, and is a present remedy in Phtisicks.
