they touch not one another with fine white salt and couer them close: put a Pare into wine, cleane pared: if it swim, the wine is pure: but if it sinke, there is water mixt with it. 5 To keepe Pares drie, seeth them in faire water and Rose water with Hony, with a gentle fire, and let them dreine through a cloth or colander, and then drie them in an Ouen after the batch is drawen foorth: if once doing so serue not, do so the second time, and then barrell them vp. 6 Pares are good in Plasters that are made to stop the course of humors that run to any place. The broth of dried Pares stop∣peth the belly. 7 They are euill to be eaten fasting. 8 The iuice of the leaues is good for venemous bitings. 9 A syrope made of the iuice of Pares, is good against choller, and the chollorike fluxe. 10 Pares breede the chollike: it is good to drinke Hypocras after them. 11 Pares without wine are poyson, but sodden Pares are a treacle or preseruatiue. 12 Sodden or rosted, they relieue and lighten the stomacke. 13 After Pares drinke, but after Apples goe to the stoole. 14 All kinde of Pares doe binde as Quinces doe, and therefore are preserued in electuaries and syrops, to stop vomiting and fluxes. 15 The leaues are good in baths to sit in, against the falling downe of the Matrixe and other griefes of wo∣men. 16 Plasters of the leaues are good to stop vomites and lasks. 17 Pares are worse then Apples, for being eaten raw, they make the blood watrish, and breede winde & chollike, vnlesse good Sacke or Canarie wine be drunke after them. 18 But baked, rosted or stewed, they are not vnwholsome. 19 Pares and other fruites are to be eaten with salt, being first clensed both outwarly and inwardly. 20 Pares, Apples and Quinces, may be sodden to Pap and streined, and to sixe pound of the Pap, put foure pound of Hony, and seethe them to perfection, and vse it. 21 A plaster of yong Pares that haue bene transplanted, is good for the senowes that are prickt. 22 Vomit to stop, eate sower bitter Pares. 23 Cough, seethe Pares in wine, Ale or Beere, and take vp the vapour of them at the mouth. 24 Belly loose, vse rosted Pares. 25 Bloody fluxe, seeth drie Pares in water, and drinke thereof, it helpeth also the laske. 26 Stomacke and belly weake, dresse Pares in meate and vse them. 27 Fluxe, seethe them in vineger and drinke it with Masticke, or seethe them in water, and drinke it.
