Take of Anniseeds three Ounces, of Cummin seeds six drams, of Car∣thamus a dram and a half, of Fennegreek-seed one Ounce and two drams, of Brimstone one Ounce and a half, beat all these to fine powder and searce them, then take a pint and two Ounces of Sallet-Oyl, of Honey a pound and a half, and of white-VVine four pints, then with as much fine VVheat-Meal as will suffice, make all into a strong stiff Paste, and knead and work it well; this Paste keep in a Gally-pot close covered for your use; when your Horse hath been Hunted, and is at Night or in the Morning very thirsty, take a Ball of it as big as a Mans Fist, and dissolve it in a Gallon or two of cold VVater, and it will make the VVater look white as Milk, then give it him in the dark lest the Colour displease him; if he drink it, then feed him, but if he refuse it, let him fast till he take it, which assuredly he will do in twice or thrice offering, and when he hath once taken it, he will refuse all other drink for this, and you cannot give him too much nor too oft of it if he have exercise. It is an excellent thing for all inward Infirmities whatsoever.
