_To dissolve the Stone; which is one of the Physitians
greatest secrets._
Take a peck of green _Beane_ cods, well cleaved, and without
dew or rain, and two good handfulls of _Saxifrage_, lay the same into
a Still, one row of _Bean_ cods, another of _Saxifrage_, and so Distill
another quart of water after this manner, and then Distill another
proportion of _Bean_ codds alone, and use to drink oft these two
Waters; if the Patient be most troubled with heat of the Reins,
then it is good to use the _Bean_ codd water stilled alone more often,
and the other upon comming downe of the sharp gravell or
stone.

_Unguentum Sanativum_.
Take of _Terpentine_ one pound, _Wax_ six ounces, Oyle of _Cammomile_
halfe a pint, put all these together in a pan, and put to them
a handfull of _Cammomile_, bruised, or cut very small, boyle them
upon a soft fire till they be well melted, and no more; then take
it from the fire, and strayne it into a clean pan, and so let it coole
all night, and in the morning put it up for your use. This Oyntment
is good for any cut, wound, or breaking of the flesh, it eateth
away dead flesh, and ranklings, and doth heale againe quickly.
