A medicine for the Quinsey.

Take a pint of new milk as it cometh from the Cow, and set it on the fire in a posnet, then take a good handful of Sage, wash it clean and put it into the milk, let it boil til the sage be tender; then having two tiles indifferently hot, lay the sage between them and squee••e it a little, and apply it to the place grieved, keeping the neck very hot; then let the patient drink so much of the milk as he can. And he being gone warm to his bed, lying with that side upward which is grieved: pour so much of the milk into his ••are as you can, using this morning and evening, and with Gods help he shall bee well speedily.
