TAke the young buds of Poplar, three times so many as will fill a quart pot, and the like quantitie of Barrowes grease, and mingle them together in a pot, and stop them as close as may be, and so let them stand fourteen dayes, and then take them out and warm them, and strain the liquor from the buds, and stamp them, then take a pint of Sallet Oyl, half a pint of Oyle of Excester, 2 l. of fresh Butter unwashed; then take the Barrows grease, Sallet Oyle, Oyle of Excester and the butter, and boile them together with a soft fire, wherein you must cast the Poplar buds with a handful of meal, stirring it till it grow to be green, then take it off from the fire and strain it; when it waxeth cold, put it into a fair Gally-pot, and stop it close, and keep it seven year if you will: when you mean to occupy it, take and warm it, and annoint the place that aketh, for which it is ex∣cellent good.
