TAke a great Onion, hollow it, put into it a Fig, Rue cut small, and a dram of Venice-Treacle, put it close stopt in a wet paper, and rost it in the Em∣bers; apply it hot unto the Tumour, lay three or four, one after another, let one lie three hours.
Or it may be better to rost the Oni∣on and Fig apart, the Onion being kept
whole, and then, that all be beaten and mixed together.
Take roots of white Lillies, Figs, Leeks rosted, of each an ounce, of Line-seed half an ounce, let them be beat to∣gether in a morter, and mixed with six drams of old sour Leven, adding as much oyl of Lilies as may give ••n due consistence; Let it be applied to the Tumour till it ripen and break; which last, if it do not in a long time, it may be opened by incision, or a Caustick, ap∣plied upon, or a little below it.
Scabious and Sorrel rosted in the Embers, mixt with a little strong Le∣ven, and some Barrows-grease, and a little Salt, will draw it and break it.
Take two or three rosted Onions, a Lilie-root or two, roasted, a handful of Scabious rosted, four or five Figs, a piece of Leven, and a little Rue, stamp all these together; if it be too dry, put to it of oyl of Lilies as much as shall be needful, or so much salt Butter; make a Pultess, apply it hot, after it hath lien three or four hours take it off, and burn it, and apply a fresh Pultess of the same, if it prove hard to break, add a little burnt Copperass to the Pultess.
TAke the Flowers of Elders two hand∣fuls, Rocket-séed bruised one ounce, Pigeons dung thrée drams: stamp these together, put to them a little Oyl of Li∣lies, make thereof a Puitess, apply it, and change it as you did the former.
