The Bath.

  • Take of Mallowes,
  • Marsh-Mallowes, ana M. i.
  • Cammomil,
  • Mercury hearb,
  • Maiden-hair, ana M. ss.
  • Of Linseed four ounces.

Let these be boiled in a sufficient quantity of water, as may suffice to make a Bath therewith.

But let not the woman sit too hot on the seat, nor higher than a little above her Navill, nor let her sit longer on it than about half an hour, least her strength languish and decay; for it is better to use it often, than to stay too long at once in it.

But if she cannot indure to sit over the water, let her che∣rish her naturall parts, with a spunge or with clothes wet in it.

A Laconick and sweating Bath is not convenient at that time but hurtful, though we think women may use it.

After the Bath she shall alwayes annoint her natural parts of her loines, her flankes, navil, sides, and other parts adjoyn∣ing thereto, with the ointment or fat made of the fore-pre∣scribed thing, or cherish them with the fat marrow.

And also sats melted sometimes, and rightly put up into the natural parts, with a spunge or glister-pipe, if the womb be hot and dry, and the party with child be of a lean and slen∣der body.

Fumes also used, applied to the womb, conduce to faci∣litate delivery.
