To take off the Wart, or An-berry.

This is a spungy Excressence, proceeding from corrupt Blood, and grows on the Beast most commonly from One to Four Years.

To Remedy it, take Nine or T••n Horse-hairs, and tye about the Wart, as hard as you can, and anoint it with Oyl of Spike, and in Eight or Ten Days it will fall off, and then it is to be healed with Unslack'd Lime; but if it happen to be flat, that it cannot be conveniently taken up, then you must take off by Cauterizing with a hot Iron, and anoint it with a mixture of Honey, and Oyl of Chamo∣mile.

If it be among the Sinnews or Veins, or both, use Re∣sogar, or Mercury, to take it off; then, for two days, st••p the Hole with Flax, and the white of an Egg, and so heal it with Lime and Honey.
