¶Of chylderen diseases.

MOrbilli and Variole is a disease that noyeth childrē greatly / called Poc¦kes and Masers. They that haue the Pockes / if ye geue them water wherein Rew or Herbe grace is sodden with Fumitorye to drinke / it doth helpe them without dout. Great inconuenience get chyldren with these di∣seases / and specially the Pockes: for they straye ouer all the bodye / and the eyes also / and when theyr eyen do itche / they waxe lightely blind therof. If ye will saue them that they ware not blinde / hange the rootes of Rew and Scabiose at their necke / and they shalbe safe.
