3pI doe not use this balme in wounds because I
have better remedies, but for paine in þe bodie
I have found it very good having used it in
Ireland in þe citty of Dublin upon a mariner
5who could not stir any part of his bodye, neither
could he eate or sleepe. This man lived in
Alderman Plunketts house when I did cure him
only with this oil in less than a week (only giving him
a vomitt and a purge) to þe great wonder of all þe city.

A Wonderfull good Diet for þe
French Pox.
Take Coloquintida drachm ij. The bark of Guajacum,
Sarsaparilla, Liquerishe ana. ounce semisse Beat these things
15grossly and put them in infusion in 4 Gallons of Beere
or water or white wine for þe space of 24 hours
in an earthen pot stirring þe same often; then let it
boil on a gentle fire of charcoal untill a third
be consumed; then take of Senna ounce ij that has been
20in infusion before in ** a quart of beere 24 hours;
and put þe same Senna together with þe other things
and make them boil again for a while, keeping it
stopped: take it from þe fire, and let it cool, strain
it and keep it in bottles or other potts. The Patient
25must drink no other drinke but this for 5 days continuance, drinking of this diet a pint at a time
a little warme.
In this time þe partye must eat roast meat, Raisons
Bisquitt, and keep himself very warm, and after this
medicine hee may drink a glass full of white
30wine. I have used many times this medicine and have had
good success: this has took away þe pain of þe pox; and in
part þe pain of þe Gout.
