The manner to apply the same Oile according to the quality or dis∣ease, doth consist in these things following; to the patient, to the ••ound or disease, and to the diseased part.

First, the party must not keep straight diet in either eating or drink∣ing for weakning of his body, but as he was accustomed before he was hurt; yet if it be a body filled with humors and given to a feaver or o∣ther inconveniencies, he must use his meat and drink with discretion; if he drink wine, it must be allayed with water. 2. If the wound bee green the party ought to keep his bed, or at least his chamber, without taking any air which might hinder its operation. 3. He must keep an order in his lying, he must not alwaies lie on one side but turn as wel on the wounded side, as on the other, especially an hour before he be dressed, to the end the humors may descend to the griefe. 4. He must endure ••he oyle as hot as he can, for it is the nature of the oyle to be applied seething hot, for the hotter, the stronger it is in operation., and he must abstain from the company of women, because it will bring a great inconvenience unto him; and not only for the time of his curing, but also twenty daies after if the wound be great.
