Original passage

It is exceeding good to heal all green Wounds speedily, or any Ulcers, Impostumes, or bleedings inwardly: It doth wonderfully help those that have any Tumors in any part of their Bodies, for it represseth and dissipateth the Humors, , or the Pouder in drink, and the Juyce used outwardly; For there is not found any Herb that can give such present help either to Man or Beast when the Disease falleth upon the Lungs or Throat, and to heal up all the putrid Malignant Ulcers in the Mouth, Throat, and Privities, by gargling or washing with the Decoction of the Leavs and Root, made in Water, and a little Honey put thereto. It helpeth to stay Womens Courses, and all other Fluxes of Blood either by the Mouth, Urine or Stool, and Lasks of the Belly, the Ulceration of the Kidneys also, and the pains in the Bowels, and the Gonorrhea or running of the Reins, being boyled in Wine or Water, and drunk: The same also is no less powerful to help any Ruptures or Burstings, used both inwardly and outwardly, and briefly it is effectual in binding; restraining, consolidating, heating, drying, and healing; as Comfry, Bugle, Self-heal, or any other of the Consounds, or Vulnerary Herbs whatsoever.
