5. I. R. adds—yet if a poore man shall haue such a beast & cannot spare his worke: if he will euery morning or euening bathe his legs with Lynseede Oyle: it shall make him indure his worke, and keepe the beast from any great paine or swelling.
Here I. R. inserts two chapters, as follows.
Chapter 31.
¶ A soueraigne vnguent to cure the scabbe, itch, botches, or any surfeite whatsoeuer that commeth of heat or pouerty: or by mischance: taken from a most authentique Authour.
Take a good quantitie of the blacke dregges of Oyle, foure penny-worth of Quicksiluer wel killed,[41] as much Brimstone, Pitch, Wax, and Hoggs-grease as will make it thicke like an oyntment: boyle these together, and with it annoynt the beast that is vnsound, and this will vndoubtedly cure him, and that in very short season, if he be diligently tended.
Chapter 32.
¶ Another most excellent receite, to cure all manner of wounds, impostumes, vlcers, or Fistulaes.
Take the iuyce of the Onion called Scilla, take Hellybor, and Bitumen Iudaicum, mingle these together, and incorporate them in manner of a plaister. The Macedonians and Gelonians to this receit adde the opening of a vaine in the sole of the foote of a beast, and then to giue him to drinke milke and horses blood mingled together, which cureth all inward impostumes, surfeits or poysons, and to the outward griefe to apply the plaister, which was neuer knowne to be frustrate.
66. 27. I. R. has—and it is better to weane thy Calues at grasse then at hard meate, if they went to grasse before.
