To make the Leaden Plaister

Take a pd of Oyle of Olive, 1 pd of Red Lead
1 pd of whitelead pounded to dust 13 Ounces of
Spanish Soape, incorporate all well together in an
earthen pott well glazed, then set it over a small fire
of Coals an hour & a half, still stirring it with an
Iron but then you must let your fire be something
bigger, then let it boyle till it be ready & you shall know
when it is enough it will not cleave to a Trencher, & it will
look darker than Oyle a little, it is a very good
seirecloth it will last 20 years

The Virtue of the Plaister

For the Stomach laid to the Belly, for the winde Collick
laid to the Back & Reins for the Bloudy Flux, heal of the Kid-
nes; running of the Reins, weakness of the Back; Swellings,
Bruises, Aches, Fellens, Imposthumes running Humours not
the Puilla in the head, good for the Eyes, headachs laid to the
Temples
