where the Sinewes or Veynes bee (cut or pierced) or Veynes or Muscles be hurt, or Bones broken, and by an infinite of other particulars, which being open or ill healed, the Patient may be in danger of life, because the winde entreth in, and causeth paines and inflamation; and therefore to avoyd all these aforesaid matters, so that the wound shall have no detriment use this remedy. First joyne the parts close together, and put therein our Quintessence, and lay a cloth wet in our Baulme, and binde it fast that the ayre come not in, for it is very hurtfull. You shall un∣derstand that these be two of the best experi∣enced Medicines that may be found: because our Quintessence doth assubtiliate the Blood, and taketh it forth, and taketh away the paine. And the Baulme doth warme and comfort the place offended. And will not suffer any Mat∣ter to runne thereinto by any meanes: for this is most true, as J have proved it divers and sundry times, and alwayes have had very good successe.
