Take Smallage, and red Fennell, Rue, Betany, Vervain, Pimpernell, Eyebright, Sage, and Salendine, of every one of these a quartern, and wash them clean, and stamp them in a very fair vessell, and take the powder of fifteen Peppercorns, and a pint of good white Wine, and three spoonfulls of good live Honey, and fifteen spoonfulls of the water of a man-child that is very young, then put all these together, and let it boil over the fire a little, and then strain it through a clean cloth, and keep it in a vessell or glasse well stopped, and when you will occupie it, put some of it into your Eyes with a feather, and if it dry away in the glasse, then put a little white Wine to it, and this is good for all sore Eyes; if thy Eyes be never so sore, in fifteen dayes it will heal thee. Probatum est.
