CHAP. XXXII. A strange composition of great vertue.

THis Composition is divine in his operation, because it healeth many indispositions in our bodies, when it is applied rightly, and the order to make it is thus.

Take water of Carduus Sanctus one pound, Oyle of Hon∣nie, one ounce, oyle of Sulphur, ʒ. ss. Mixe them together, and let it settle till it be cleer: for this helpeth Ulcers in the mouth, and maketh the teeth fair and white, if yee wash them therewith. It causeth a sweet breath, and preserveth the Gums, and maketh the hair and beard fair, if ye wash them therewith. And this it doth because the water of Carduus Sanctus pre∣serveth where it is applyed: Also the oyle of Honie hath a ver∣tue preservative and retentive of the hair, and the oyle of Sul∣phur mundifieth, and clenseth, and incarnateth, so that by these means the said water hath these vertues aforesaid.
