¶An other true and proued science / when the basse or last gut issueth or is swollen.

TAke wormes / chap them small / and braye them well / and put so muche oyle of roses thereto / that it become as a thick broth: stere it well & stra¦ke it vpon a linnen cloth / the thycknesse of a finger / let the cloth be softe / and a hande broade. Laye thys vpon the sycke place as warme as the paciente can suffre it: and when it is colde / then laye strayght waye another there∣on / thesame helpeth well and continentlye. It is good also to wette a softe cloth in milke / and laye it vpon the sycke place / where the gut is gone oute: and when thesame is colde / take it awaye / and laye another warme in the steade of it. If the place is swollen or waxed hard / the gut shall returne in∣to the bodye by litle and litle wythout anye harme. Yet is it better to seth Malowes in goates mylke tyll they be weake / and laye them warm vpon it: thesame mollifye it wythoute anye hurte / that the gutte entreth agayne easelye▪

Towe dypped in the iuyce of Sloes / is very good for hym / whose basse gut is issued: for layd vpon it / driueth it in agayne wythout any hurt. Or els take the pouder of burnt egges shales / warm and strow it vpon it / and lay a warme cloth vpon it / and that helpeth.
