VI. Webb in the Eye.

Against the Webb in the Eye, or Running Eyes, the best Remedy is an Eye-water made of the Juice of Bittony, pounded in a wooden Mor∣tar, or the Juice of Housleek, or the blade of the herb Celendine, pound∣ed in a Mortar, and laid thereupon with cold Water, or rather with Wine, after you have let the horse blood in the vein of the Eye affected. These means you must continue to use many daies in the morning, and at night. You may also blow into the Eye, through a Quill, the powder of the grate of the Fish called Sepia, or whole seed of the herb Rocket; or lay thereupon the Ear of a little Lamb,

until it hath by its vertue taken a∣way the flesh, and cleansed it; or the powder of the yolk of an Egg, and Salt burnt together, and put into the Eye: or the powder of Sal-Ar∣moniack, Myrrh, Saffron, and scraping of the grates of Sepia.
