Electuarium Elescoph. Page 115. in the Latin Book.

The Colledg] Take of Diacrydium, Turbith, of each six drachms; Cloves, Cinnamon, Ginger, My∣robalans, Emblicks, Nutmegs, Polypodium, of each two drachms and an half, Sugar six ounces, clarified Honey ten ounces, make it into an Electuary according to art.

Culpeper.] A. Mesue appoints only clarified Ho∣ney, one pound and four ounces, to make it up into an Electuary; and saith, it purgeth choller and flegm, and wind from all parts of the body; helps pains of the joynts and sides, the Chollick, it clenseth the reins and bladder: yet I advise you not to take too much of it at a time, for it works pretty violently, though well corrected by the pen of a Mesue: let half an ounce be the most, for such whose bodies are strong, alwaies remembring that you had better ten times take too little, than once too much. You may take it in white wine, and keep your self warm. If you would have my opinion of it, I do not like it.
