¶Howe you may make redde Waxe. Cap. xxxix.
That you maye colour and make Waxe redde, take to one pounde of waxe, three ounces of verye cleare Turpentine, if it be in ſommer, but if it be in winter, then take foure ounces.

But ſome in ſteede of Uermilion, doe take the reede leade, which is little commended, except there be three times ſo muche of the redde leade, as of the Uermilion putte in. And in the like ſorte may you make the greene Waxe, if inſteede of the Uermillian, you take ſo much of the greene Coporas finely ground, as you did of the Uermilian.

But thoſe whiche are ſmall, this Oyle healeth in three dayes, by annoynting onely on the cuttes or woundes, and laying after linnen cloutes, wette in the ſaide Oyle, vpon the woundes. For inward diſeaſes the ſaide Oyle worketh myraculouſlye (if that you miniſter or gyue a dramme at a time in white Wine to drinke) and ſtayeth alſo the ſheading of haire, either on the head or beard,
