Use this three or four dayes
together, for three weeks or a moneth, whether you have the fit
or paine of the _Gout_, at that time or no, so you have had it at any
time before. This hath cured divers persons, that they have never
been troubled with it againe.
_For one that cannot make water_.
Take the white strings of _Filmy_ roots, of _Primroses_ wash them
very clean, and boyle of them halfe a handfull, in a pint of _Beer_ or
_White-wine_, till halfe be consumed, then straine it through a clean
cloath, and drink thereof a quarter of a pint, somewhat warme,
morning and evening, for three dayes, it will purge away all viscous
or obstructions stopping the passage of the water, _probatum_.
_To kill the Ring worme, and heat thereof_.
Take a quart of _White wine_ vineger, boyle therein of _Woodbine_
leaves, _Sage_, and _Plantaine_ of each one handfull, of white _Coperas_,
one pound, of _Allum_ as much as an Egge; when it is boyled to
halfe a pint, straine out the liquor, and therewith wash the soare as
hard as you can suffer it.
_To make a Water for all Wounds and Cankers_.
Take a handfull of red _Sage_ leaves, a handfull of _Selandine_, as
much _Woodbine_ leaves, then take a gallon of Conduict water, and
put the hearbs in it, and let them boyle to a pottell, and then
strayning the Hearbs through a strainer, take the liquor and set
it over the fire againe, and take a pint of English _Honey_, a good
handfull of _Roche Allum_, as much of white _Copperas_ tinne beaten,
a penny worth of _Graines_ bruised, and let them boyle all together
three or four warms, and then let the scum be taken off with a feather,
and when it is cold put it in an earthen pot or bottell, so as
it may be kept close; and for an old Wound take of the thinnest,
and for a green Wound, of the thickest, and having dressed them
with this Water, cover the soare either with _Veale_, or _Mutton_, and
skin it with _Dock_ leaves.
