I. Of the Eyes.

III. If therefore, the Eye hap∣pen to be broken, or put out by any Violence or Inflammation, or if it waste or consume, by reason of a Consumption of its proper Sub∣stance, there can be no hope to restore the Sight or Function of the Eye; but you may cover the Deformity of the Eye so lost, by another Eye Artificially made of Gold, Silver or Glass, coun∣terfeited and Enamel'd, so as it may seem to have the Bright∣ness, Decency, and Life of the Natural Eye; which may be put into the place of the Eye so lost.

IV. If it cannot be worn, being put into the place, you must make a stiff Iron or Brass Wire, like unto Womens Ear Wires; which may be so formed, as to bind the Head harder or looser (as the Patient shall see reason) from the lower Part of the Head be∣hind, above the Ear, unto the greater Corner of the Eye.

V. This Wire ought to be cover∣ed with Silk, and made somewhat broad at both ends, lest that the sharpness thereof should hurt any part it comes to; but the end in which the Artificial Eye must be put, ought to be broader than the other, and covered with a thin piece of Leather, that up∣on it the Colours and liveliness of the Eye may be shadowed and Counterfeited.
