A Plaister of Lapis Calaminaris. Page 178. in the Latin Book.

The Colledg] Take of Lapis Calaminaris prepared an ounce, Litharge two ounces, Ceruss half an ounce, Tutty a drachm, Turpentine six drachms; white Wax an ounce and an half; Stags suet two ounces; Frankinsence five drachms; Mastich three drachms; Mirrh two drachms; Camphire a drachm and an half, make it up according to art.

Culpeper.] A. Before they set down Stags suet twice, and now they left out a sufficient quantity of it; do not they know that both Lapis Calaminar is and Litharge are of an exceeding drying nature? and that six drachms of Turpentine and two ounces of Stags suet is not half enough to make only them two into a Plaister? If they do know it, why do they set it so down? if they do not know it, why do they meddle with what they have no skill in? and yet forsooth 'tis two-penny treason to swerve from their rediculous Receipts; so imperious they are, just like a Spaniard that will not leave his magestical gate, even when he is whipt at carts tail.
