Then cause the sweate be wyped from your back / till ye be drye. After that a ioynt your back with Befe suet molten / when ye will go to bed / do thys thre nightes together. This taketh awaye payne in the loynes / and specially caused of colde.

Or els take honye and milke of lyke quantitie / put thesame into a newe pot / set it by the fyre vpon a treuet / seth it well / and laye it as warme vpon thy loynes / as ye can suffre it: thesame draweth out the payne. And when it waxeth colde / then warme it agayne.
