Which perceiving put it into another clean Tin∣pan, that the former may be cleansed from its blackness, then again pour the Water into the cleansed Pans this labour repeat often till the Pans be no more black't with the Wa∣ter, but remain white, as before they were used, which is wont to be after ten or twelve times.

This Water reserve for use, it is white, of colour, and very useful in healing Ulcers, as well in the Mouth, as Yard, especially such as arise from Lues Venerea; also in morti∣fying 〈◊〉〈◊〉 it is very powerful. If you desire it should be stronger, six times Infusi∣••in the Pans will be sufficient, for so it will be more strong. Its use is only with a Pen∣ful by gently touching the Ulcers. It is also powerful in generating flesh.
