¶The flesshe of a yōge wether that is gelded is moch better than any other motton / for it is nat so moyste as other motton and it is hoter and whan it dis¦gesteth well it maketh gode blode / but the flessh of an oled rāme wyl nat ligh¦tely disgest & that is very euyll.
¶Auicēna saith that rāmes flessh bur¦ned & brayed to powder & strewed vpō the drye lepory named morpheus is gode / & for the bytynge of a serpent or scorpion / & mengyd wt wyne it is gode for the bytinge of a madde dogge. The longes of a wether is gode to hele the skyn that is broken on the hele whan it is layde therto. ¶Escul••pius saith the longes soden in a potte / whan they be ynough in the drawynge out of the potte / that yt droppeth of the longues he••eth the ter••ian / & payne in the kyd¦nees. ¶Haly saith the gall of the we∣ther is gode for the paynes in the eres that cōmeth of colde.
