Take Specierum Diarrhodon abbatis, ℥. ii. and draw forth the Tincture with the spirit of wine, and keep it by it self, after∣ward take the Pulpe of Colocinthides, ʒ. vii. Turbit, ʒ. v.

Beat them, and mix them together, and put thereon Cinamon-water, the which is made in this order. Cinamon l. i. stamp it grosly, then in∣fuse it in white wine four and twenty houres close stopped, then distill it with a gentle fire being close luted, for with this Cinamon-water, or spirit of wine, thou maiest draw forth the Tincture of all the aforesaid druggs. Alwaies provided, that ye keep them a moneth in a warm place to macerate, stirring them three or four times in a day, and at the end of the moneth pour forth the liquor, and put the feces into a Retort, and distill forth the oyle and water, the oyle ye shall rectifie and reserve. The Feces that remaine ye shall calcine, and make thereof a salt, the which ye shall put to the oyle that ye

rectified. Then take that liquor which ye reserved first, and distill it in Balneo, and in the bottome there will remain a matter thick like honie. Then take the tincture of Diacho∣don Abbatis, and pour it upon that thick matter, and stop well thy glasse, and set it in a warm place eight dayes, stirring it every day. That being done, draw away the spirit in Bal∣neo, until it remain thick like honey, unto the which ye shall put his oyle that ye distilled, mix them, and let them digest, untill it be so thick that ye may make thereof Pills, the which yee may do so soon as it feeleth the cold, for in the cold it will wax hard, and in heat it will waxe liquid; the Dose is from one scruple to two scruples, where there shall be need of pur∣ging, put in the ponder of Licorice, for so it worketh without pain.
