For the fetching of a thorne out of any place of ones bodie, or a bone out of the throte, you shall read a charme in the Romish church upon S. _Blazes_ daie; to wit, Call upon God, and remember S. _Blaze_. This S. _Blaze_ could also heale all wild beasts that were sicke or lame, with laieng on of his hands: as appeareth in the lesson red on his daie, where you shall see the matter at large. ¶ _A charme for the headach._ Tie a halter about your head, wherewith one hath beene hanged. ¶ _A charme to be said each morning by a witch fasting, or at least before she go abroad._ The fier bites, the fier bites, the fier bites; Hogs turd over it, hogs turd over it, hogs turd over it; The father with thee, the sonne with me, the holie-ghost betweene us both to be: ter. Then spit over one shoulder, and then over the other, and then three times right forward. ¶ _Another charme that witches use at the gathering of their medicinable hearbs._ _Haile be thou holie hearbe growing on the ground All in the mount [*]Calvarie first wert thou found, Thou art good for manie a sore, And healest manie a wound, In the name of sweete Jesus I take thee from the ground._ ♦[*] Though neither the hearbe nor the witch never came there.♦ ¶ _An old womans charme, wherewith she did much good in the countrie, and grew famous thereby._ An old woman that healed all diseases of cattell (for the which she never tooke any reward but a penie and a loafe) being seriouslie examined by what words she brought these things to passe, confessed that after she had touched the sicke creature, she alwaies departed immediatelie; saieng: _My loafe in my lap, my penie in my pursse; Thou are never the better, and I am never the wursse._ _Another like charme._ ♦Note the force of constant opinion, or fixed fancy.♦ A Gentlewoman having sore eies, made hir mone to one, that promised hir helpe, if she would follow his advise: which was onelie to weare about hir necke a scroll sealed up, whereinto she might not looke. And she conceiving hope of cure thereby, received it under the condition, and left hir weeping and teares, wherewith she was woont to bewaile the miserable darkenesse, which she doubted to indure: whereby in short time hir eies were well amended. But alas! she lost soone after that pretious jewell, and thereby returned to hir woonted weeping, and by consequence to hir sore eies. Howbeit, hir jewell or scroll being found againe, was looked into by hir deere friends, and this onelie posie was conteined therein: _The divell pull out both thine eies, And [*]etish in the holes likewise._ ♦[*] Spell the word backward, and you shall soone see this slovenlie charme or appension.♦
