_To make sweet Bagges to lay Linnen in_.
Take _Damask Rose_ budds, pluck them, and dry the leaves in the
shadow, the tops of _Lavender_ flowers, sweet _Margerom_, and _Basill_,
of each a handfull, all dryed and mingled with the _Rose_ leaves, take
also of _Benjamin, Storax, Gallingall_ roots, and _Ireos_ or _Orris_ roots,
twice as much of the Orris as of any of the other, beaten in fine
powder: a peece of cotten wool wetted in _Rose_-water, and put
to it a good quantity of _Musk_ and _Ambergreece_ made into powder,
and sprinkle them with some _Civet_ dissolved in _Rose_-water, lay the
Cotten in double paper, and dry it over a chaffin dish of coales:
Lastly, take halfe a handfull of _Cloves_, and as much _Cinamon_ bruised,
not small beaten, mixe all these together, and put them up in
your Bagge.
_A very good Poultis for any Member swell'd and inflamed,
and not broken, to take away the paine_.
Take three pints of new milk, of stale Manchet crums two handfulls,
or so much as shall make the milk somewhat thick, and thereto
put two handfulls of dryed red _Rose_ leaves, and three ounces of
Oyle of _Roses_, boyle all these together to the thicknesse of a Poultisse,
then let it stand and coole, and while it cooleth rake a spoonfull
of Oyle of _Roses_, and with a warm hand rub the place grieved,
till the Oyle be dryed in, and then lay the Poultisse as warm as you
may endure it, to the part inflamed; doe this morning and evening
for three or four dayes, as you shall see cause.
