THese Imposthumes in the Joynts are evill, and of hard and crude digestion, because they are caused of great abun∣dance
of grosse and viscous humours, the which through their grossenesse cannot passe the Joynts, and there remain and come to Imposthume, and these cause extream pain, because thereunto commeth great abundance of matter, and the re∣medy is thus. First give him a generall purgation, and let him bloud on the common vein, and then lay on this plaister. Take Marsh Mallowes, common Mallowes, Pellitory, and the Mother of Violets, and boyle them in water till it be consu∣med, then stamp them, and put thereto Leaven of bread, Barly flower, Hens greace, and Hogs greace, according to thy discretion, and set them on a small fire untill they be incor∣porated, then lay this on once a day untill it be ripe, and when it is red and soft open it, and dresse it with our Magno liquore, and lay thereon our Magistrale Cerotte: and so with these two thou shalt help them, except the Imposthume be of the Pox, for then it will doe small good.
