_The Vertues of the precedent Water._

This Water preserveth the Lungs without grievances, and helpeth them;
being wounded, it suffereth the blood not to putrifie, but multiplieth
the same; this water suffereth not the heart to burn, nor melancholly,
nor the Spleen to be lifted up above nature; it expelleth the Rheum,
preserveth the Stomach, conserveth Youth, and procureth a good colour,
it preserveth Memory, it destroyeth the palsie; if this be given to one

week fasting, in the winter two spoonfuls.
