and coldnesse of our bodies, for I have occupied it di∣vers and sundry times, and alwayes have seen divers and sun∣dry good effects, but for the better commodity, and more ease to use it, I have compounded this Electuary, the which thou mayest use with ease and benefit unto a number, and the order to make it is thus.
Take very fine Sulphur that is without earth, and make it into fine powder one pound, Cinamon ℥. ss. Saffron ℈. i. Gin∣ger ʒ. ii. Musk dissolved in Rosewater two Carets, white Hony crude, as much as will suffice to make it into an Electuary without fire, then keep it in a dry place; and this ye shall use in the morning fasting, and his quantity from four drachms to seven, This dryeth up Scabs, provoketh Urine, breaketh the stone in the Reins, it helpeth the Cough, dryeth up the watering of the eyes, causeth a good appetite, with divers other things, the which I will leave to the Experimentors.
