Oleum Irinum. Page 149. in in the Latin Book. Or, Oyl of Orris.

The Colledg] Take of the roots of Orris Florentine, three pound four ounces, the flowers of Purple Orris, fifteen ounces, Cyperus roots six ounces, of Alicam∣pane three ounces, of Alkanet two ounces, Cinnamon, Spicknard, Benjamin, of each one ounce, let all of them being bruised as they ought to be, be 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in the Sun, or other hot place, in fifteen pound of old Oyl, and four pound and an half of cleer water, after the fourth day, boyl them in Balneo Mariae, the water being consumed, when it is cold strain it and keep it.

Culpeper] The effects are the same with the Sim∣ple, only 'tis stronger, and better composed here than it was in their former Dispensatory, yet I know no great reason why this, or any other Oyl must be boyled in a bath. I see the Apothecaries shall never want ignorance nor trouble, if the Colledg can help it.
