Species confectionis Liberantis. Page 96. in the Latin Book.

The Colledg] Take of Tormentil Roots, the seeds of Sorrel, Endive, Coriander prepared, Citron, of each one drachm and an half, all the Sanders, white Dittany of each a drachm, Bole-armenick, Earth of Lemnos of each three drachms, Pearls, both sorts of Corral, white Amber, Ivory, Spodium, bone of a Stags heart, the roots of Scrpentary, Avens, Angelica, Car∣damoms, 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Mace, Wood of Aloes, Cassia Lignea, Saffron, Zedoary, of each half a drachm, Penids, raw Silk tosted, Emeralds, Jacinth, Granate, the flowers of Water-Lillies, Bugloss and red Roses, of each a scruple, Camphire seven grains, make them in∣to pouder according to art.

Culpeper] A. The Scrpentary Roots are added, and Musk and Ambergreece of each three grains, left out, because destructive to the Common-wealth.

A. It is exceeding good in pestilential Feavers, and preserveth from ill airs, and keepeth the humors in the body from corruption, it cools the heart and blood, and strengtheneth such as are oppressed by heat; to conclude, it is a gallant cool cordial though costly. It being out of the reach of a vulgar mans purse, I omit the dose, let the Gentry and Nobility study Physick themselves, so shall they know it, for had they wanted hearts to that study no more than they wanted time and means, it had been far better for this Common-wealth than now it is. If a Gentleman have no skill in Physick himself, Dr. Dunce if he have a Plush Cloak on will serve his turn.
