Of the Plaister-box, and what belongeth thereto: And first of the Emplaisters.

Spatula.
Probes.
Stitching needles and quill.
Launcet.
Barras pipe.
Lavatory.
Uvula spoon.
There belongeth to the Surgeons Mate a carefull and especiall re∣spect to be had concerning Scissers; namely, that he have at the least two pair of good Scissers for to cut hair, that they be well grownd, and kept* 1.2 clean; as also in his plaister-box one pair, and that they be at all times kept well. The manner of using them were lost labour to be taught any Surgeons Mate: for if he be therein unskilful, he is unworthy of his place. Wherefore I onely recite them for remembrance sake, and likewise for order, having already spoken somewhat of the several uses of each one of the recited instruments.
