Unguentum Samach. Page 168. in the Latin Book.

The Colledg] Take of Sumach, unripe 〈◊〉〈◊〉, mir∣tle Berries, 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Pomegranate Pills, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Cups, Cypress Nuts, Acacia, 〈◊〉〈◊〉, of each ten drachms, white Wax five ounces, Oyl of Roses often washed in Allum water, a pound and ten ounces, make a fine pouder of the things you can and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 them four whol daies in juyce of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and unripe Ser∣vices, of each a sufficient quantity, then dry them by a gentle fire, and with the Oyl and wax boyl it into an Oyntment.

Culpeper] A. It is a gallant drying and binding Oyntment, my former Rules will shew you what it's good for, be studious, be studious; besides the sto∣mach anoynted with it staies vomiting, and the bel∣ly anoynted with it staies loosness; if the Eundament fall out, when you have put it up again, anoynt it with this Oyntment and it will fall out no more; do the like by the womb if that fall out. They had the honesty before to call it a binding Oyntment, now it hath another name, and its place is changed, give God the glory that he hath left a way to do you good in spite of their subtilty, and I shall do the like that he hath made me an Instrument to do it.
