CHAP. III. Some other Figures to Preserve the Sight.

MAke thee a round Lamen of the best Lead in the hour of ♀, the ☽ being in the Signe ♈, and in the same hour; to wit, in the hour of ♀, engrave the Signes and Letters which you see written in the following Figure: Afterwards in the hour of ♄ make a Copper Lamen of the same Quantity and Form as the Leaden one; when ☽ is in the signe ♑, the Characters which

you see in the Figure, are to be engraven. And then both Figures are to be kept and preserved so long until ♀ comes into Conjunction with ♄: and then in the point of the Conjunction both the Figures are to be conjoyned together so, that the Characters and Signes may mutually touch one another; then close them fast with Wax, that they receive no moisture, and sew them up in a piece of Silk, and hang it about the Neck of the Patient on the day and hour of ☿. This is the best Remedy to recover the Sight of the Eyes, and to preserve the Eyes from Pain and Diseases. It preserveth the Sight in old Age, as perfect as it was in youth.
