PUt a silver ring on the finger,* 1.1 within the which these words are gra∣ven ✚ Habay ✚ habar ✚ hebar ✚ and say to the person bitten with a mad dog, I am thy saviour, lose not thy life: and then prick him in the nose thrice, that at each time he bleed. Otherwise: take pilles made of the skull of one that is hanged. Otherwise: write upon a peece of bread, Irioni, khiriora, esser, khuder, fer••s; and let it be eaten by the
party bitten. Otherwise: O Rex gloriae Iesu Christe, veni cum pace 〈◊〉〈◊〉 nomine patris max, in nomine filii max, in nomine spiritus sancti prax •• Ga∣sper, Melchior, Balthasar ✚ prax ✚ max ✚ Deus I max ✚
But in troth this is very dangerous; insomuch as if it be not speedily and cunningly prevented, either death or frensie insueth, through infe∣ction of the humour left in the wound bitten by a mad dog: which be∣cause bad Chirurgians cannot cure, they have therefore used foolish co••∣sening charms. But Dodonaeus in his hearball saith, that the hearb A∣lysson cureth it: which experiment, I doubt not, will prove more true then all the charms in the world. But where he saith, that the same hang∣ed at a mans gate or entry, preserveth him and his cattel from inchant∣ment, or bewitching, he is overtaken with folly.
