  Wilyam Bulleyn on

  Boxyng & Neckeweede.

  (From _The Booke of Compoundes_, fol. lxviii.)


_Sicknes._

Will boxyng doe any pleasure?

_Health._

Yea forsothe, verie moche: As example, if you haue any [a]sausie
loughte, or loitryng lubber within your house, that is either to busy of
his hand or tongue: and can do nothing but plaie one of the partes of
the .24. orders of knaues. [b]There is no pretier medicen for this, nor
soner prepared, then boxyng is: iii. or .iiii. tymes well set on, a span
long on bothe the chekes. And although perhaps this will not alter his
lubberly condicio{n}s, yet I assure you, it wil for a time chau{n}ge his
knauishe complexio{n}, and helpe him of the grene sicknes: and euery man
maie practise this, as occasion shall serue hym in his familie, to
reforme them. _Bulleins Bulwarke of Defence_, 1562.

    [Sidenote: [a] For saucy louts, [b] the best cure is Boxing.]


(From _The booke of Simples_, fol. xxvii. back.)


_Marcellus._

There is an herbe whiche light fellowes merily will call [a]
Gallowgrasse, Neckeweede, or the Tristrams knot, or Saynt Audres lace,
or a bastarde brothers badge, with a difference on the left side,
&c. you know my meaning.
