For the Ears. For pain in the Ears, or for default of hearing

Take the oyl of sweet Almonds, and drop it into thine ear, and it helpeth the pain speedily; also milk sodden, and put into a stone pot with a narrow mouth, and the fore ear holden over the pot, that the vapor of the milk may ascend into the eare; this taketh away the pain, and breaketh the imposthume of the head, this is proved true.

Another for the same

Take the oil of a sliver Eel, with black wooll of a Ram, betwixt the hinder legs, and the flank, it helpeth presently the pain, and will cause the Ear to run. Also the oyl of a Weasle or Mole helpeth the hearing very well, but you must make it in this sort, when the Weasle or Mole is stripped of his skin, then put the said Weasle or Mole into an earthen jug, and stop the jug very close, and put the pot into seething water, and let it stand there three houres, and then take it out, and put the clear substance into a Glasse.
