For the Eyes. A water to clarifie the dimnesse of the sight

Take the juice of Fennell, and Salendine, Rue, and Eyebright, of each toe ounces, Honey and ounce and a half, Aloes, Tyme, and Sarcocell, of each half an ounce, the caul of a Capon, Chicken or Cock, two drams; Nutmegs, Cloves, and Saffron, of each a dram, Sugar Candy six drams, put all into a limbeck of glasse, and distill it, and of this water put into your Eyes, and if you could get the liver of a Hee-Goat, and mix with the said things in the distillation, that water will be of much greater vertue, and almost without comparison.

Another for the same

Take the green Walnuts husks and all from the trees, with a few Walnut leaves, and distill thereof a water, to drop into your eyes.
