The Colledg] Take of Spicknard three ounces, Marjoram two ounces, wood of Aloes, Calamus A∣romaticus, Alicampane, Cyperus, Bay leaves, Indian leafe or Mace, Squinanth, Cardamoms, of each one ounce and an half, bruise them al grosly, & steep them in water, and Wine, of each fourteen ounces, Oyl of Sesamin, or Oyl of Olives four pound and an half, for one day, then perfect the Oyl, by boyling it gently in a double Vessell.
Culpeper] A. I wonder why they should put in Oyl of Sesamum, or Oyl of Olives; when every bo∣dy knows Sesamum is a kind of purging pulse, but purge or bind, it is all one to them it seems; So Au∣thors say it. Will that answer serve the turn before the Lord God Almighty another day? I left out Oyl of Sesamum in the coppy because of that, and if it be made as I have written it, It heats, attenuates, digests, and moderately binds, and therefore helps all cold and windy afflictions of the brain, stomach, reins, spleen, liver, bladder, and womb, being snuffed up the nose it purgeth the head, and gives a good colour and smel to the body.
