Medicines for the Impostume within a man's Body

Take young Walnuts, and stamp them Rinds and all, and lay a plaster thereof upon the Navel; and this will destroy an Impostume; as I face saith. Or take two handfuls of Clot, roots made clean, and seeth them well in half a gallon of good Ale or more, until the fourth part be wasted  away, and let it run through a cloth, but wring it not; and let the sick drink thereof three days, and then other three days; and if thou wilt, thou may'st put thereto Licoras. This is proved.
