A rare secret, the which this Author did send to a very friend of his being in the Warres: the which helpeth all wounds eyther by Cut, Thrust, galling with Arrowes, or Hargu∣bush-shot, or otherwise.

THe first thing that yee shall doe, is to wash the Wounds very cleane with Urine, and then dry it very well: then put therein Quintessence of Wine, and presently joyne the parts close together, and stitch or sow them well; but in any wise sowe no∣thing but the Skinne: for otherwise it will cause great paine: Then put thereon five or sixe drops of our Balsamo, and upon the Wound▪ lay a cloth wet in our Magno Li∣core▪ as hote as they can suffer it, and this doe the first day.

Then the next day follow this order.

First, put thereon our Quintessence, and then a little of our Balsamo: and then an∣noint it very well with our Magno Licor••, as hot as it may be suffered: Never changing this Medicine untill it be whole. This is very certaine and approved.
