WOunds in the belly or flank that peirce not through & hurt not the spine of the back, are cured as simpie wounds in the flesh, but if the shot have peirced through the belly and wounded either the stomack, Liver, spleene, kidneys, intes∣tines, bladder, or any of the great veynes or arte∣ries, then there is no hope of life to be looked for; but if the shot have pierced the belly, and yet wounded none of the forenamed members; then the shot
being taken out there is some hopes of recovery.
Therefore you must labour to take out the shot with a probe fit for that use, but if you cannot without much labour doe it, it is better that it re∣maine within, then to provoke mortall accidents, by laboring to take it out; for the wound may bee very well cured, and the bullet remaine within: And if blood bruised or matter be in the belly, use wine warmed and make injections, and use this incarnative following.
℞.
Mixe the flower with the juice, and dissolve and melt the honey and the turpentine at the fire; then put altogether, and make an unguent: with this spread your plaisters and dip your tents in; and when the flesh doth grow and the wounds fill, ap∣ply such medicines as be astringent, and that doe dry: and if need be open a veine in the arme, and alwayes keep the belly folluble.
