Another.

The like may be made of two handfuls of Valerian, three rootes of Danwoorte, and a handfull of Smallidge: seeth them in sheepes suet and water, with a fewe crums of bread: and applye it hotte to the sore.

An other.

Take a hot Loafe, new taken foorth of the Ouen, apply it to the sore, and it will doubtlesse breake the same: but afterward bury the same loafe deepe enough in the ground, for feare of any infection: for if either dog or any other thing doe feede thereon, it will infect a great many.

Other obseruations.

Let the sicke and enfected persons bee seperated and kept from the whole, vntill the sore bee healed: but generally let them be kept within the space of a moneth.

For ayring Apparell.

Let the Apparell of the diseased persons, be well and often washed, be it lynnen or woollen: or let it be ayred in the sonne, or ouer pans of fyer, or ouer a Chafingdish of Coales, & fume the same with Francomsence, Iuniper, or dryed Rose-mary.

A perfect good Playster for the cure of the sore, after it is broken.

Take vnwrought Waxe, white Turpentine, the yolke of an Egge, a little fresh butter, and a quantitie of English honney, boyle all these together to a salue, and apply it to the sore, being thin spread vppon a cloth in manner of an ordenary playster.
