THe gravell in the Reines of the back is caused, and engen∣dered of great heat, and drynesse in those parts, as thou maist plainly see by those which are troubled therewith; for their Reines are so hot that they cannot abide any heavy gar∣ment to lye thereon, and they alwayes make their water with great paine and burning: therefore if thou wilt helpe that in∣firmity, it were necessary to refrigerate the Reines, and moi∣sten it with good juyce, and take away that burning of the Vrine; and so in that order the Patient shall be helped; and this thou maist doe in short time, and with great ease with this Remedy.

℞ The seed of small Lemonds, the seed of Oranges, and one pound, Saxifrage, six pound, Balme, Scolopendria, Pellitory of the wall, Sparagus, Crisoni, Isop, Fenel-roots, Parsly roots, ana. ℥. vi. stamp them altogether, and make them in forme of a li∣quid
