Or els anoynt thy selfes w^t the water y^t standeth in the wild Tasill leaues / or els with the water y^t drop¦peth out of the Vine / when he is cutte and bounde vp in Marche / thesame do oft. Or els anoynt the spottes oft wyth the iuyce of the rote of Briony or wilde neppe / beaten and strayned.

Agaynst a fistula by the nose / take the slyme of a sowes guttes / and bur¦ne that to pouder / put thesame pouder into the disease / it healeth thesame / for it hath ben expe••imented.* 1.2
