_Take an_ Onion _and_ White Lilly Roots, _boyl them, or else wrap them in a wet Paper, and roast them in the Embers, afterward stamp both together, adding a little_ Treacle, _and_ Oyl of Lillies _as much as is sufficient: Or else roast a_ Fig _with either or both these above-nam'd, and make a Pultis in the same manner: Or else with either, or all above-named Remedies, add an handful of_ Scabious _or_ Sorrel _wash'd; and after beat all into a Pultis_.
_Take_ Pimpernel roasted on the Embers, _mollifie it with_ Oyl of Scorpions, _adding a little_ Pouder of Myrrh _and_ Venice Treacle, _and lay it to the Sore_.
_Some do commend_ live Frogs _to be applyed, and renew'd as oft as they die_.
_For a Plaister to break the Sore when it is open'd_, Diachylon _with_ Gums; _or else those two Emplaisters_, viz. Emplastrum Paracelsi, _and_ de Fuligine, _mention'd by_ =Diemerbroek=, _pag._ 213. =Paracelsus= his Plaister is there thus order'd to be made.
_Take of_ Gum Oppopanax _two Ounces_, Seraphin _or_ Sagapen _four Ounces_, Bdellium _three Ounces_, Galbanum _one Ounce_, Olibanum _two Drams; let them be dissolved in_ Vinegar, _and strain'd, and adding the_ Pouder of a dried Toad and Frog, _of_ Natural Brimstone _one Ounce, of_ Camphire _one Dram_: Let it be made a Plaister to be put upon the Tumor, and renewed every six hours.
=Emplastrum de Fuligine=, or =Plaister of Soot=, is thus made.
_Take of_ Chimney Soot _ten Drams_, Leaven, Turpentine, Butter, _of each one Ounce_, Venice Sope _one Ounce and a half, of_ Honey of Roses _six Drams_, Common Salt _half an Ounce, the_ Whites of two Eggs, Treacle _and_ Mithridate, _of each two Drams_: Let them be mixed. _For the Poorer sort_, Shoemakers Wax _is as good as any_.
If when the Tumor is ripen'd, it do not soon break of it self, it is best to open it by Incision; and when it is broken, put in a Pledget dipp'd in _Turpentine_ mix'd with the _Yolk of an Egg_; or dress it with _Basilicon_ alone, or the Liniment of _Arceus_.
A =Carbuncle=, which is the other kind of Plague-Sore, which requires the operation of the hand, happens but seldom in any of the Emunctories [and when it does it portends ill] but useth to be in most places else; It ariseth with angry _Pustules_, sometimes one, sometimes many; which soon grow discolour'd, and tend to Mortification, and the substance mortified must be cast out, and then the hollow Ulcer which remains must be healed.
