The compound Medicaments that repel are these.

1. Oyls, as the Oyl of Roses made of green Oyl, the juice of unripe Grapes, and the juice of Red Roses, boiled together over a sim∣pering fire, until the juices are consumed. Last of all, infuse some Roses picked in the Oyl; the Oyl of Myrtles, the Oyl of Quinces, the Oyl of Mastick, the Oyl of Henbane, Poppy, and Mandrake. Sallet Oyl, whereof these compound Oyls are made, must not be old or rank. If an Inflammation hath possessed the parts adjacent, use not Oyls; for they are easily set on fire.

2. Cataplasms, made of the a∣foresaid juices, and Barley-flour, with some of the forenamed Oyls, or Bole, Terra sigillata, or Amber tempered with some of the fore∣named Oyls, and Whites of Eggs beaten, Vinegar or Verjuice.

3. Unguents, as Tripharmacon; Ʋnguentum album, Camphoratum either of it self, or mingled with Ʋnguentum populeum.

4. Emplasters, as Emplastrum de Minio, the Sope-Plaster, Dia∣palma made with the juices of Plan∣tane, Horse-tail, Knot-grass, Yar∣row, Comfrey, and Perywinckle. When you make your Diacalciteos, reserve one part for the Juices, which must be added by little and little, as you bring your Emplaster to a consistence. This Medica∣ment is second to none.
