What's the difference between cerate and ointment?
Cerate
Definition:
(n.) An unctuous preparation for external application, of a consistence intermediate between that of an ointment and a plaster, so that it can be spread upon cloth without the use of heat, but does not melt when applied to the skin.

Ointment
Definition:
(n.) That which serves to anoint; any soft unctuous substance used for smearing or anointing; an unguent.
