¶For the hoorsnesse.
HE yt is waxen hoorse by reason of an humor descending / or coughinge / of a cold ayer or drinke / of creyng or weping:* 1.1 let the same drinke in the morninge warme water / as hote he can suffer it / and wet a linnen cloth in half water and half vinegre / wringe it well oute / and winde it aboute the necke / and another that is warmed vpon the same: do thys in the morning / at middaye and to bedwarde / lette hym kepe hym warme and beware of colde ayer. If he coulde sweate in the bedde / that were very good. Let him also beware of cold drinkes / fruytes / grapes / and such lyke.
He maye also drinke warme milke / in the morning and euening / the sa∣me doth auoyde horsenesse also. Or els take Aqua vite when thou wilt go to bed / stipe a pece of bread therin / and eate the same at euen and morning: but if he is of hote complexion / then is Aqua vite not good for him.
He that is so hoorse / that the lightes seme to ascende into his throte / and he is of cold and moyst complexion / thesame should drinke fasting a quarter of an vnce of oyle Benedicti / mixt wyth a litle water / though it be vnplea∣sant to drinke / yet is it good and without daunger. But if ye can not haue the oyle / then eat Anis sede: thesame is holesome and good for the horsenes. Or els sede the karnels of Quinches / and drinke that water warme to bed¦warde. Or els take thre vnces & an halfe of flint stones / put to them a quart of springing water / and seth it to the halfe / drinke thereof blood warme in yt morning & at euen / and it shall go awaye. Or els geue hym this drinke folo∣wyng: Take wyne & oyle of oliue of lyke quantitie / seth them in some thing & drinke therof so hote thou canst at night / and in the morning a good drau∣ght: thesame taketh the horsenesse away without danger. But if thou canst not haue oyle of olyue / then take halfe so much butter as the wyne is / and do as is sayd before.
