CHAP. XVII. A water for sore eyes, prooued by M. E.

A Gentlewoman with this water hath cured a very great number of sore eyes. Shee tooke an Egge, hard sod∣den, cut it in the midst, and tooke forth the yoalke, and put thereto as much white Copperose as a Nutte. Then shee closed it together, and wrapped it in redde Fennell, and laide it to steepe foure and twentie houres in Rose wa∣ter, then she strained it hard thorow a cloath, and dropped it into the eyes, morning and euening; it was held for a great secret.

Another maner or vvaie, to heale the Pinne and Webbe in the eyes.

TAke nine of the VVormes called Centumpedes, or Sowes, stampe and straine them, with the iuice of VVoodbine, or Betonie, for three or foure mornings to∣gether warme: which being drunke, will consume the VVebbe in the eye.
