By Mrs. Maidenhed.

TAke half a pound of Olibanum fine searced, and half a pound of Rosen searsed, half a pound of Pitch searsed, a quarter of a pound of sheeps tallow tryed, two ounces of Cummin searced, one ounce of Labdanum, half an ounce of Cloves, half an ounce of Mace, and a quarter of an ounce of Saffron being beaten all in powders; set them on a soft fire. Your Labdanum must be beaten with some o∣ther of your powders with a hot pestel, and so stir them all mixt to∣gether till they be all molten. And if you be disposed to make any Plaisters, you must take a Cheverel skin, and so stretch it up on a board with little tack nails, and your Salve being almost cold, spread it with a slice or a knife thin in all places alike, and the rest you may make up in Roles▪ having Sallet Oyle poured on a board, to annoint your hands for cleaving; this you may lay to any place, either hands, arms, legs or soles of your feet, it will draw away the humor, and break no skin.
