¶A confection for the Stone.
TAke the pouder of an Hare / burnt in a pott with skinne and heere / so yt nothing be taken from it:* 1.1 of this pouder take an vnce and an hal••e / and vi. vnces of hony / & of this make a confection. Hereof take euery morning & euening as much as a chest nut / and ye shall finde yt the stone shall breake & auoyde frō you. But if the rubbel or shardes of the stone do put the to payn / then vse that bath / wherof I haue spoken before.
Take the rotes of Persely and herbe / the herbe of Fenel with the rotes / Dyll with the rootes / Smalage with the rootes / of ech a handfull / and of eche sede a handfull: chap the rotes and herbes small / and put them alltoge∣ther into a small fyne linnē bagge / seth thē well in water yt space of an hour / & make a bath therof / & bath therein. Then lay the bagge a whyle vpon the backe / as warme as ye can suffre it / after that vpon the belly likewyse: after that sit vpon the bagge also as warme as ye can suffre it. And of thys wyse bath in the morning thre houres / at after none two houres / and at night to bedward. Do this thre dayes / and vse to eate the rotes of Persely / and the sede of Smalage / and the sede of Persely / of eche an vnce / make pouder of thē / put thereto two vnces of suger / & when thou wilt depart frō the table / then dippe a slice of bread in wine / & strowe as much of this pouder theron / as a chest nutte. Eat this also in the morning fasting / & to bedward: & thus shall the stone auoyde frō thy without any smart or payne / & ye shall make water easely. But beware of all thinges that engendre the stone.
