Of the b••toh in the grains of a Horse.

IF a Horse be full of humours and then suddenly laboured, the humours will resort into the wea••est part•• and there gather together and breed a B〈…〉〈…〉h, and especially in the hinder parts be∣twixt the thighs, not far from the cods. The signes be chese; The hinder legs will be all swollen, and especially from the hoofs upward, and if you feel with your hand you shall find a great kind of swelling, and if it be round and hard it will gather to a head. The cure, according to Martin, is thus; First r••pe it with a plaister; take of Wheat-flowre, of Turpentine, and of Hony, of each a like quan∣tity, stirring it together to make a stiffe plaister, and with a cloth lay it unto the sore, renewing it every day once untill it break or wax soft, and then lance it as the matter may run downward; then ••ent it with Turpentine and Hogs grease molten together, renewing it every day once, untill it be whole.
