For pissing of Blood.

Take Ambrosia and Bursa pastoris of each a handful, Parsley seeds the like, stamp them together, and drink the juice thereof with Goats milk.

The cause of pissing of blood may be superfluity of Humors, sharpness of U∣rine, Winds, Tumors, Impostumations, debility of the Kidneyes and Bladder, then is there a pain about the Privities, and the blood is congealed and separa∣ted from the Urine: In case the blood be much, and runneth out swiftly, then it signifies a broken Vein, otherwise an Ulcer; but if the Urine be like water that

flesh is washed in, then it is of a weak li∣ver; but if from superfluity of blood, then it is to be seen by the fulnesse of the body; if through sharpnesse of Hu∣mours the Patient is ever burning, there∣fore he must avoid all sharp, tart and salt things.
