CHAP. LXII. To help those that have great burning of their Ʋrine.

THis infirmity may come of divers and sundry causes. Neverthelesse, I will treat of some of the principall, and of most importance; and also will shew the true order to help them with ease and brevitie. The first cause assigned by me is the Stone in the Bladder, and this is in a manner uncura∣ble. The second cause is, the running of the Reins, the which is taken by companying with women corrupted with the Pox. The third cause is, the proper French Pox, the which is that kind that is called Gonorrea. The fourth kind is a certain corruption that is called Stranguria, the which moveth conti∣nually to make water. The fifth cause is the Gravell: there are also other causes, as scorching in the Yeard, carnositie, and such like things, the which I will leave for troubling of the Reader. The first cause which is the Stone, is helped by two remedies, the one is with cutting and taking it forth of the bladder, the other remedie is written in this book. The reme∣die for that which is caused by the running of the Reins, shall be to take three mornings our Aromatico, because it resol∣veth that heat, and extinguisheth the burning. The remedie for that which is caused of Gonorrea, is none other then to cure the principall disease, and to annoint them with our Ʋnguento magno, and perfume them, and so they shall remain whole. That which is caussed of the Strangurie, is cured by great purging, and by taking oftentimes our Aromatico. That which is caused of the Gravell, is cured by taking often∣times our Electuario Angelica, and using to drinke Wine di∣stilled with Cherrie stones, and Medler stones. That which cometh through carnositie, is cured with an Unguent made of oil of Sulphur, and Vitriol, Aqua reale, Oil of Fran∣kincense, and new Wax, all Medicines devised by us, giving you charge, that before you begin to cure them, to seek out the right cause from whence it proceedeth, and so thou shalt help it with brevitie and great ease.
