Thesame broth is good dronken for the cough / for it clenseth the pulme or lightes / and the pypes of thesame / whereof the cough commeth.

That mollifieth y^t matter / wherof y^e cough is engendred / so y^t he may voyd it / & taketh away the grypinge and cough.

Ye must be∣ware ye haue good sieges / lest ye get a greping therby.
