For the Eyes. To make a precious water for sore eyes, and for all manner of sores, as followeth

Take red Roses, Smallage, Rue, Vervain, Maiden-hair, Eufrasia, Eyebright, Endive, Sengreen, Walwort, red Fennel, and Salendine, of every one of these half a quartern; wash them, and lay them in good white Wine twenty four houres, and then distill them, and the first water will be like gold, the second water will be like silver and the third like balm; keep it well in a viall or glasse, for it is worth any Balm for any manner of evill, or sore Eye, and this hath been proved many times.
