THe good grene wounded playster that the newe surgyans occupy, y^t heleth al fresshe woundes without tentes, and it is a [Page] mundificatluum, a conglutinatiuum, and a consolidatiuū. And this playster is of many and dyuers maners of soūdrye maysters maide, some take moche Rosyn, and lytel waxe. Some moche waxe, and lytell Rosyn, and some take waxe & Rosyn alyke moche, and some take no Rosyn at all. Therfore ye shall know as ye wyl that this same playster shal more heale than clense, lyke as it is nedesy in the wounde of the heed, & in a symple woun­de, there as no substaunce is loste. If that ye take more waxe in weyght so moche y^e lesser take of Rosyn in weyght, & let them twane euery tyme in his weyght, & as ye wyll that it clense more takynge to her the matter, lyke as a depe stytched wounde whiche maketh moche matter, than shall you take more Ro­syn than waxe, as ye haue sayde. If ye wyll that the playster shal make flesshe to growe, and shall serue to all woundes, whiche som­what hath loste of his substaunce, than take Rosyn, and waxe of eche alyke moche, or yf ye wyl that it make the skynne, and that the wounde shuld close, than take waxe alone and no Rosyn, and as in this playster is mo­che Rosyn, and lytel waxe, then it is called a mundificatiuum, and attractiuum, that is [Page] clensynge, and drawynge out the matter, yf there be therin moche waxe and lyter Rosyn, than it is called congfutinatiuum, that is to gyther leuynge and closynge of the woūde. And yf there be therin wax and Rosyn lyke moche: than it is called incarnatiuum that is flesshe makynge in the wounde. Or yf there be therin waxe & no Rosyn, than it is called consolidatiuum, that is helynge and skynne makynge. And this playster is made thus.
