Its Use In External Diseases


My Child, there are some people who have external Distempers on their

Bodies, as Fistulaes, Cancers, Wolf, or evil Biles, or Holes, be they

what or how they will, &c. give him the weight of one Wheat-Corn to

drink in warm Wine two days, as is taught before, the whole body within

and without shall be freed from all which is adverse to Nature, and you

shall deal with the open Sores thus;



Take a Drachm of th
Stone, seeth it in a pottle of Wine in a Glass, the

space of two or three Pater-nosters, that the Stone may melt, the Wine

will be as red as Bloud, therewith wash the Sores morning and evening,

laying a thin Plate of Lead over, in a short time, as in ten or twelve

days the Sores will be whole; and give him every day the quantity of a

Wheat-Corn, in warm wine till he be well. If they be Fistulaes or other

concave Holes, that you cannot come at them, to wash them, then take a

Silver Syringe, and inject of that wine into them, it will heal home, as

aforesaid.



And if one had a pound of the rankest Poison in the world in his Body,

and immediately drink a Drachme thereof in warm Wine, the poison shall

forthwith evacuate by siege, together with all the evil Humors in his

Body.



My Child, here ends the most noble and precious Work which is in the

Vegetable Book; on whomsoever God bestows this Stone, needs no other

thing, in this World, therefore keep it as close and well as you can, to

Gods Glory, who grant that we may walk in his obedience, Amen.
