¶Howe a man shall be holpen that pisseth bloude.

* 1.1SOmtyme doth passe a hote humor through the loynes / and lyeth there so longe / till it waxeth slimye / and raseth or scrapeth them / yt the vrine becommeth reade or bloudy. When that happeneth / thē laye thys bathynge sponge vpon the loynes: Take oyle of nuttes and warme water lyke much / of eche halfe a pounde / beate them well toge¦ther / then wet the sponge well therein / and laye it vpon the place / wher the payne is. After that make him a playster hereof vpon hys loynes / that be halfe an elle longe / and a quarter of an elle broad: Take the leaues of Roses well brayed / the meel of Lentils / mixe them well together / that it become like a playster / laye that vpon hys loynes.

When it is drye / then put more of the foresayde oyle thereto / and moystē it inough therewyth / and laye it vp agayne: thesame taketh awaye ye payne well / and geue hym thys drinke fastinge / the weyght of a quarter of an vn∣ce: Take the sedes of a Gourde made to pouder / Cumin beaten / and the se∣des of Malowes of eche lyke muche / so that they be together a quarter of an vnce / seth them in two vnces of milke of Asses in a newe pott. If ye can haue no milke of Asses / then take in stede thereof milke of a Kowe or Neet / thesame is good also.

It is to be knowen / that milke is holsome for all them that haue thys di¦sease / dronke in the morninge / and eaten in the daye. Geue hym also to eate suppes of Almonde / and the yolkes of soft egges potched in hote water.
