A very good Balme.

7 R. Of Turpentine lib. i. ss. Galbanum ℥ ii. Aloes Cicatrine, Masticke, Cloves, Galingale, Cinamon, Nutmegs, Cubebs, ana. ℥ i. Gumme of Iop ℥ ss. beat them all, and mixe them together, and distill them in a Glasse with a slow fire first, and receive the first Water severally by it selfe; then encrease the fire, and you shall have a Water more reddish; then encrease your fire, and you shall have a red Oyle: your Receiver must be thrice changed.

This Oyle hath all the vertues of true Balme, for it burneth in the Water, and curdeth Milke; the first Li∣quor is called the Water of Balme, the second, Oyle of Balme, the third, Balme Artificiall; the first is good against the running of the Eares, if two drops Morning and Evening be put into them; dropt into the Eyes, it helpeth the Blearednesse, and consumeth the Teares; it is good to wash the mouth against the Toothache, and Wormes in the Teeth: the third Liquor is good against Venome and poyson, if two, or three drops be laid upon it; and if you inclose any venemous thing within a Cir∣cle made herewith, the Creature will rather die, then

come out: it is good against Impostumes, Fistulaes, and Noli me tangere, and all cold Flegmaticke humours; if a cloth be wet therein, and laid upon it, it availeth against the Palsey, and trembling of the Members.
