TO
THE
READDR
.
Courteous
Reader
,
Aristotle
,
in
his
Metaphysicks
writing
of
the
Nature
of
Man
,
hit
the
Nail
on
the
Head
when
he
said
,
That
Man
is
naturally
enclined
to
,
and
desirous
of
Knowledg
:
and
indeed
it
is
palpable
and
apparent
,
that
as
Pride
is
the
first
visible
sin
in
a
child
,
whereby
we
may
gather
that
it
was
the
first
sin
of
Adam
;
so
Knowledg
being
the
first
Vertue
a
Child
minds
,
as
is
apparent
to
them
that
do
but
with
the
eye
of
Reason
heed
their
actions
even
whilst
they
are
very
yong
,
even
before
they
are
a
yeer
old
,
even
by
natural
instinct
,
whereby
a
man
may
more
than
guess
that
Knowledg
was
the
greatest
loss
,
or
at
least
one
of
the
greatest
we
lost
by
the
fall
of
Adam
:
Knowledg
,
saith
Aristotle
,
is
in
Prosperity
an
Ornament
,
in
Adversity
a
Refuge
;
and
truly
there
is
almost
no
greater
enemy
to
Knowledg
in
the
world
that
Pride
and
Covetousness
;
Excellently
said
,
Juvenal
,
Sat
.

.
Scire
volunt
omnes
,
mercedem
solvere
nemo
.
Although
all
men
,
in
Knowledg
take
delight
,
Yet
they
love
money
better
,
that's
the
spight
.
And
again
,
some
men
are
so
damnable
proud
and
envious
withal
,
that
they
would
have
no
body
know
any
thing
but
themselves
;
the
one
I
hope
will
shortly
learn
better
manners
,
and
the
other
be
a
burden
too
heavy
for
the
Earth
long
to
bear
.
The
Subject
which
I
here
fixed
my
thoughts
upon
is
not
only
the
Description
and
Nature
of
Herbs
,
which
had
it
been
all
,
I
had
authority
sufficient
to
bear
me
out
in
it
,
for
Solomon
employed
part
of
that
wisdom
he
asked
,
and
received
of
God
in
searching
after
them
,
which
he
wrote
in
Books
,
even
of
all
Herbs
,
Plants
and
Trees
;
some
say
those
Writings
were
carried
to
Babylon
by
Nebuchadnezzar
;
being
kept
in
the
Temple
at
Jerusalem
for
the
publick
view
of
the
People
,
but
being
transported
to
Babylon
in
the
Captivity
,
Alexander
the
GREAT
TYRANT
at
the
taking
of
Babylon
gave
them
to
his
Master
Aristotle
,
who
committed
them
to
the
mercy
of
the
fire
.
But
since
the
daies
of
Solomon
,
many
have
those
famous
men
been
that
have
written
of
this
Subject
,
and
great
Encouragements
have
been
given
them
by
Princes
,
of
which
I
shall
quote
an
example
or
two
,
Mathiolus
his
greediness
was
such
to
finish
his
Comment
upon
Dioscorides
,
which
Book
is
yet
in
use
in
the
famous
Universities
in
Leyden
in
Holland
,
&
Mountpilier
in
France
,
that
he
forgot
to
count
what
the
charges
of
it
might
amount
to
,
although
I
rather
comend
him
for
his
dilligence
in
Studie
and
Care
of
the
Worlds
good
,
than
harbor
the
least
ill
thought
of
him
for
not
counting
the
middle
and
both
ends
before
he
began
the
Work
,
I
say
when
he
came
to
count
the
charges
of
Printing
and
cutting
the
Cuts
,
it
far
surmounted
his
Estate
;
in
this
he
was
abundantly
furnished
by
Ferdinand
the
Emperor
,
and
diverse
other
Princes
of
Germany
,
as
himself
confessed
furnished
him
with
great
sums
of
money
,
for
perfecting
that
so
great
,
so
good
a
Work
;
the
Prince
Elector
of
Saxony
sent
him
much
money
towards
his
charge
,
as
also
Joachim
,
Marquess
of
Brandenburg
,
who
as
he
was
neighbor
to
Saxony
in
Place
,
so
was
he
in
Affection
to
so
good
a
Work
;
Frederick
,
Count
Palatine
of
the
Rhine
,
the
Cardinal
Prince
of
Trent
,
the
Arch
Bishop
of
Saltzberg
,
the
Dukes
of
Bavaria
and
Cleveland
,
and
the
Free
State
of
Norimberg
,
together
with
many
others
,
so
that
he
had
the
help
of
the
Emperor
,
of
Arch
Dukes
,
Dukes
,
Electors
,
Cardinals
,
Princes
.
Happie
is
that
Nation
whose
Magistrates
countenance
such
as
mind
and
study
their
Good
:
I
might
instance
in
many
more
,
and
thereby
give
you
a
glimps
how
Magistrates
formerly
favored
this
Art
,
and
which
is
more
,
how
studious
they
were
in
it
.
Bellonius
a
man
that
soared
high
in
the
Nature
of
Herbs
,
also
professed
he
had
the
helping
hand
of
Kings
and
Cardinals
to
maintain
him
in
his
Studies
,
and
more
than
this
,
kings
themselves
were
Studious
in
it
;
amongst
which
(
Solomon
excepted
)
Mithridates
that
renowned
King
of
Pontus
seems
to
bear
away
the
Bell
,
his
Writings
after
his
death
were
found
in
his
Country
Mannor
by
Pompey
the
great
,
but
never
a
Roman
of
them
all
had
the
honesty
to
print
them
with
his
name
in
the
Frontispiece
,
so
that
we
have
nothing
of
them
but
what
is
quoted
by
some
honest
Authors
,
especially
by
Plutarch
.
Ad
nos
vix
tenuis
fame
dilabitur
aura
.
Men
mind
our
good
,
but
such
cross
times
do
fall
,
We
only
hear
they
did
,
and
that
is
all
.
Mesue
King
of
Damascus
,
Avicenna
,
and
Evax
King
of
Arabia
,
labored
much
in
this
Study
,
and
I
could
well
have
afforded
to
have
mentioned
Dioclesian
the
Roman
Emperor
had
he
not
washed
out
his
Vertues
,
and
defiled
them
with
a
Purple
stain
,
in
a
most
bloody
persecution
of
Christians
.
It
is
quoted
in
Virgil
,
that
when
a
famous
Prince
was
proffered
by
Apollo
to
be
taught
his
Arts
,
viz
.
Physick
,
Musick
,
Augury
,
and
the
Art
of
Shooting
in
the
Bow
,
he
made
choice
of
Physick
and
to
know
the
Nature
of
Herbs
.

His

who
now
with
age
was
spent
,
To
be
an
Herbarist
,
and
Medicine

,
he
rather
did
his
thoughts
incline
.
So
precious
hath
the
knowledg
of
the
Vertues
of
Herbs
been
in
former
times
to
men
of
quality
,
and
indeed
happy
is
that
Nation
,
whose
Rulers
mind
Knowledg
,
as
Solomon
saith
on
the
contrary
,
Wo
to
that
Nation
whose
King
is
a
Child
,
and
indeed
in
Ancient
times
people
need
little
other
Physick
than
such
Herbs
as
grew
neer
them
,
some
Footsteps
of
which
and
but
a
few
only
,
are
now
in
use
with
us
to
this
day
,
as
people
usually
boyl
Fennel
with
Fish
,
and
know
not
why
they
do
it
but
only
for
custom
,
when
indeed
the
Original
of
it
was
founded
upon
Reason
,
because
Fennel
consumes
that
Flegmatick
quality
of
Fish
,
which
is
obnoxious
to
the
Body
of
man
,
Fennel
being
an
Herb
of
Mercury
,
and
he
so
great
an
Enemie
to
the
Sign
Pisces
.
In
this
Art
the
Worthies
of
our
own
Nation
,
Gerard
,
Johnson
,
and
Parkinson
are
not
to
be
forgotten
,
who
did
much
good
in
the
Studie
of
this
Art
,
yet
they
and
all
others
that
wrote
of
the
Nature
of
Herbs
,
gave
not
a
bit
of
a
reason
why
such
an
Herb
was
apropriated
to
such
a
part
of
the
Body
,
nor
why
it
cured
such
a
Disease
;
truly
my
own
body
being
sickly
brought
me
easily
into
a
capacitie
to
know
that
Health
was
the
greatest
of
all
Earthly
Blessings
,
and
truly
he
was
never
sick
that
doth
not
beleeve
it
;
then
I
considered
that
all
Medicines
were
compounded
of
Herbs
,
Roots
,
Flowers
,
Seeds
&c
.
and
this
first
set
me
awork
in
studying
the
Nature
of
Simples
,
most
of
which
I
knew
by
sight
before
,
and
indeed
all
the
Authors
I
could
reade
gave
me
but
little
satisfaction
in
this
particular
,
or
none
at
all
;
I
cannot
build
my
faith
upon
authors
words
,
nor
beleeve
a
thing
because
they
say
it
,
and
could
wish
every
bodie
were
of
my
mind
in
this
,
to
labor
to
be
able
to
give
a
reason
for
every
thing
they
say
or
do
;
they
say
reason
makes
a
man
differ
from
a
Beast
,
if
that
be
true
,
pray
what
are
they
that
instead
of
Reason
for
their
judgment
,
quote
old
Authors
,
perhaps
their
Authors
knew
a
reason
for
what
they
Wrote
,
perhaps
they
did
not
,
what
is
that
to
us
,
do
we
know
it
?
Truly
in
writing
this
Work
first
,
to
satisfie
my
self
I
drew
out
all
the
Vertues
of
vulgar
Herbs
,
Plants
,
and
Trees
&c
.
out
of
the
best
and
most
approved
Authors
I
had
or
could
get
,
and
having
done
so
,
I
set
my
self
to
studie
the
Reason
of
them
;
I
knew
well
enough
the
whol
world
and
every
thing
in
it
was
formed
of
a
Composition
of
contrary
Elements
,
and
in
such
a
harmony
as
must
needs
shew
the
wisdom
and
Power
of
a
great
God
.
I
knew
as
well
this
Creation
though
thus
composed
of
contraries
was
one
united
Body
,
and
man
an
Epitome
of
it
,
I
knew
those
various
affections
in
man
in
respect
of
Sickness
and
Health
were
caused
Naturally
(
though
God
may
have
other
ends
best
known
to
himself
)
by
the
various
operations
of
the
Macrocosm
;
and
I
could
not
be
ignorant
,
that
as
the
Cause
is
,
so
must
the
Cure
be
,
and
therefore
he
that
would
know
the
Reason
of
the
operation
of
Herbs
must
look
up
as
high
as
the
Stars
;
I
alwaies
found
the
Disease
vary
according
to
the
various
motion
of
the
Stars
,
and
this
is
enough
one
would
think
to
teach
a
man
by
the
Effect
where
the
Cause
lay
:
Then
to
find
out
the
Reason
of
the
Operation
of
Herbs
,
Plants
,
&c
.
by
the
Stars
went
I
,
and
herein
I
could
find
but
few
Authors
,
but
those
as
full
of
nonsense
and
contradictions
as
an
Egg
is
full
of
meat
,
this
being
little
pleasing
,
and
less
profitable
to
me
,
I
consulted
with
my
two
Brothers
,
Dr
.
REASON
,
and
Dr
.
EXPERIENCE
,
by
whose
advice
together
with
the
help
of
Dr
.
DILLIGENCE
,
I
at
last
obtained
my
desires
,
and
being
warned
by
Mr
.
HONESTY
,
a
stranger
in
our
daies
to
publish
it
to
the
World
,
I
have
done
it
.
But
you
will
say
,
What
need
I
have
written
of
this
Subject
,
seing
so
many
famous
and
learned
men
have
written
so
much
of
it
in
the
English
Tongue
,
nay
much
more
than
I
have
done
?
To
this
I
Answer
,
1
.
All
that
have
written
of
Herbs
either
in
the
English
or
not
in
the
English
Tongue
,
have
no
waies
answered
my
intents
in
this
Book
,
for
they
have
intermixed
many
,
nay
very
many
outlandish
Herbs
,
and
very
many
which
are
hard
,
nay
not
at
all
to
be
gotten
,
and
what
harm
this
may
do
I
am
very
sensible
of
.
Once
a
Student
in
Physick
in
Sussex
sent
up
to
London
to
me
,
to
buy
for
him
such
and
such
Medicines
,
and
send
them
down
,
which
when
I
viewed
,
they
were
Medicines
quoted
by
authors
living
in
another
Nation
,
and
not
to
be
had
in
London
for
Love
nor
Money
,
so
the
poor
man
had
spent
much
pains
and
Brains
in
studying
Medicines
for
a
Disease
that
were
not
to
be
had
;
so
a
man
reading
Gerards
or
Parkinsons
Herbal
for
the
Cure
of
a
Disease
so
may
as
like
as
not
,
light
on
an
Herb
that
is
not
here
to
be
had
,
or
not
without
great
diffuculty
,
if
possible
;
but
in
mine
,
all
grow
neer
him
.
2
.
My
last
,
though
not
the
least
of
my
Reasons
is
,
Neither
Gerard
nor
Parkinson
nor
any
that
ever
wrote
in
the
like
Nature
,
ever
gave
one
wise
Reason
for
what
they
wrote
,
and
so
did
nothing
els
but
train
up
yong
Novices
in
Physick
in
the
School
of
Tradition
,
and
teach
them
just
as
a
Parrot
is
taught
to
speak
,
an
Author
saith
so
,
therefore
'tis
true
,
and
if
all
that
Authors
say
be
true
,
why
do
they
contradict
one
another
?
But
in
mine
,
if
you
view
it
with
the
Eye
of
Reason
,
you
shall
see
a
Reason
for
every
thing
that
is
written
,
whereby
you
may
find
the
very
Ground
and
Foundation
of
Physick
,
you
may
know
what
you
do
,
and
wherefore
you
do
it
,
and
this
shall
call
me
Father
,
it
being
(
that
I
know
of
)
never
done
in
the
world
before
.
I
have
now
but
two
things
more
to
write
and
then
I
have
done
.

The

arising
from
it
,
or
that
may
acrue
to
a

man
,
from
it
are
many
,
so
many
that
should
I
sum
up
all
the
particulars
,
the
Epistle
would
be
as
big
as
the
Book
;
I
shall
only
quote
some
few
general
Heads
.
First
,
The
admirable
Harmony
of
the
Creation
is
herein
seen
,
in
the
Influence
of
Stars
upon
Herbs
and
the
Body
of
man
,
how
one
part
of
the
Creation
is
subservient
to
another
,
and
all
for
the
use
of
man
whereby
the
Infinite
Power
and
Wisdom
of
God
in
the
Creation
appears
;
and
if
I
do
not
admire
at
the
simplicity
of
the
Ranters
,
never
trust
me
,
who
but
viewing
the
Creation
can
hold
such
a
sottish
Opinion
,
as
that
it
was
from
eternity
,
when
the
Mysteries
of
it
are
so
cleer
to
everie
eye
;
but
that
Scripture
shall
be
verified
to
them
,
Rom
.
I
.
20
.
The
invisible
things
of
Him
from
the
Creation
of
the
world
are
cleerly
seen
,
being
understood
by
the
things
that
are
made
,
even
his
eternal
Power
and
Godhead
,
so
that
they
are
without
excuse
.
And
a
Poet
could
teach
them
a
better
Lesson
.
Excideret
ne
tibi
divini
muneris
author
Presentem
monstrat
;
qualibet
Herba
Deum
.
Because
out
of
thy
thoughts
God
should
not
pass
,
His
Image
stamped
is
on
every
Grass
.
This
indeed
is
true
,
God
hath
stamped
his
Image
upon
every
Creature
,
and
therefore
the
abuse
of
the
Creature
is
a
great
sin
;
but
how
much
more
doth
the
Wisdom
and
Excellencie
of
God
appear
if
we
consider
the
Harmony
of
the
Creation
in
the
Vertue
and
Operation
of
every
Herb
;
this
is
the
first
.
Secondly
,
Hereby
thou
maist
know
what
infinite
Knowledg
Adam
had
in
his
Innocencie
,
that
by
looking
upon
a
Creature
,
he
was
able
to
give
it
a
name
according
to
his
Nature
,
and
by
knowing
that
,
thou
maist
know
how
great
thy
fall
was
,
and
be
humbled
for
it
even
in
this
respect
,
because
hereby
thou
are
so
ignorant
.
Thirdly
,
Here
is
the
right
way
for
thee
to
begin
the
study
of
Physick
if
thou
art
minded
to
begin
at
the
right
end
,
for
here
thou
hast
the
Reason
of
the
whol
Art
.
I
wrote
before
in
certain
Astrological
Lectures
which
I
read
,
and
printed
,
intituled
Semeiotica
Uranica
what
Planet
caused
(
as
a
second
Cause
)
every
Disease
,
and
how
it
might
be
found
out
what
Planet
caused
it
;
here
thou
hast
what
Planet
cures
it
by
Sympathy
and
Antipathy
;
and
this
brings
me
to
my
last
premise
,
Viz
.
Instructions
for
the
right
use
of
the
Book
.
And
herein
let
me
promise
a
word
or
two
,
Many
Herbs
,
Plants
,
&c
are
not
in
the
Book
apropriated
to
their
propper
Planets
,
the
Reason
was
,
want
of
time
,
or
some
other
thing
else
,
which
many
that
know
me
will
easily
guess
at
;
at
last
the
Book
hanging
longer
in
the
Press
that
I
imagine
it
would
,
I
took
the
time
and
pains
(
though
I
could
ill
have
spared
either
)
to
apropriate
them
all
,
and
have
for
thy
benefit
(
Courteous
Reader
)
inserted
them
in
order
after
the
Epistle
,
now
then
for
thy
Instruction
,
First
,
Consider
what
Planet
causeth
the
Disease
;
that
thou
maist
find
in
my
Semeiotia
.
Secondly
,
Consider
what
part
of
the
Body
is
afflicted
by
the
Disease
,
and
whether
it
lie
in
the
Flesh
,
or
Blood
,
or
Bones
,
or
Ventricles
.
Thirdly
,
Consider
by
what
Planet
the
afflictd
part
of
the
Bodie
is
governed
;
that
my
Semeiotica
will
inform
you
in
also
.
Fourthly
,
You
have
in
this
Book
the
Herbs
for
Cure
apropriated
to
the
Several
Diseases
,
and
the
Diseases
for
your
ease
set
down
in
the
Margin
,
whereby
you
may
strengthen
the
part
of
the
Bodie
by
its
like
,
as
the
Brain
by
Herbs
of
Mercury
,
the
Breast
and
Liver
by
Herbs
of
Jupiter
,
the
Heart
and
Vitals
by
Herbs
of
the
Sun
,
&c
.
Fifthly
,
You
may
oppose
Diseases
by
Herbs
of
the
Planet
opposite
to
the
Planet
that
causeth
them
,
as
Diseases
of
Jupiter
by
Herbs
of
Mercury
,
and
the
contrary
;
Diseases
of
the
Luminaries
by
Herbs
of
Saturn
,
and
the
contrary
;
Diseases
of
Mars
by
Herbs
of
Venus
,
and
the
contrary
.
Sixthly
,
There
is
a
way
to
cure
Diseases
somtimes
by
Sympathy
,
and
so
every
Planet
cures
his
own
Diseases
,
as
the
Sun
and
Moon
by
their
Herbs
cure
the
Eyes
,
Saturn
the
Spleen
,
Jupiter
the
Liver
,
Mars
the
Gall
and
Diseases
of
Choller
,
and
Venus
Diseases
in
the
Instruments
of
Generation
.
Seventhly
,
There
was
a
small
Treatise
of
mine
of
Humane
Vertues
,
printed
at
the
latter
end
of
my
Ephemeris
for
the
yeer
1651
.
I
suppose
it
would
do
much
good
to
yong
Students
to
peruse
that
with
this
Book
.
Eighthly
,
Yong
Students
would
do
themselves
much
good
,
and
benefit
themselves
exceedingly
in
the
Study
of
Physick
if
they
would
tak
the
pains
to
view
the
Vertues
of
the
Herbs
&c
.
in
the
Book
,
and
compare
them
to
these
Rules
,
they
shall
to
their
exceeding
great
content
find
them
all
agreeable
to
them
,
and
shall
thereby
see
the
reason
why
such
an
Herb
conduceth
to
the
Cure
of
such
a
Disease
.
Ninthly
,
I
gave
you
the
Key
of
al
in
the
Herb
Wormwood
,
which
if
because
of
the
volubility
of
the
Language
,
any
think
it
would
not
fit
the
Lock
,
I
will
here
give
it
you
again
in
another
Herb
of
the
same
Planet
which
in
the
Book
either
through
my
own
forgetfulness
,
or
my
Amanuensis
was
omitted
,
and
here
I
shal
give
it
you
plainly
without
any
circumstances
.
The
Herb
is
Carduus
Benedictus
.
It
is
called
Carduus
Benedictus
,
or
blessed
Thistle
or
holy
Thistle
,
I
suppose
the
name
was
put
uppon
it
by
some
that
had
little
Holiness
in
themselves
:
It
is
an
Herb
of
Mars
,
and
under
the
Sign
Aries
;
now
in
handling
this
Herb
,
I
shall
give
you
a
rational
Pattern
of
all
the
rest
,
and
if
you
please
to
view
them
throughout
the
Book
,
you
shall
to
your
content
find
it
true
.
It
helps
Swimming
and
giiddiness
of
the
Head
,
or
the
Disease
called
Vertigo
,
because
Aries
is
the
House
of
Mars
.
It
is
an
excellent
Remedy
against
the
yellow
Jaundice
,
and
other
infirmities
of
the
Gall
,
because
Mars
governs
Choller
.
It
strengthens
the
attractive
faculty
in
man
,
and
clarifies
the
Blood
,
because
the
one
is
ruled
by
Mars
.
The
continual
drinking
the
Decoction
of
it
helps
red
Faces
,
Tetters
,
and
Ringworms
because
Mars
causeth
them
.
It
helps
Plague
sores
,
Boils
,
and
Itch
,
the
Biting
of
mad
Dogs
and
venemous
Beasts
,
all
which
infirmities
are
under
Mars
.
Thus
you
see
what
it
doth
by
Sympathy
.
By
Antypathy
to
other
Planets
.
It
cures
the
French
Pox
by
Antypathy
to
Venus
who
governs
it
.
It
strengthens
the
Memory
and
cures
Deafness
by
Antipathy
to
Saturn
who
hath
his
Fall
in
Aries
which
Rules
the
Head
.
It
cures
Quartan
Agues
,
and
other
Diseases
of
Melancholly
and
adult
Choller
by
Sympathy
to
Saturn
,
Mars
being
exalted
in
Capricorn
.
Also
it
provokes
Urine
,
the
stopping
of
which
is
usually
caused
by
Mars
or
the
Moon
.
If
you
please
to
make
use
of
these
Rules
,
you
shall
find
them
true
throughout
the
Book
,
and
by
heeding
them
,
you
may
be
able
to
give
a
Reason
of
your
Judgment
to
him
that
asketh
you
:
I
assure
you
it
gave
much
content
to
me
,
and
for
your
goods
did
I
pen
it
;
but
I
must
conclude
,
my
Epistle
having
exceeded
its
Bounds
alreadie
;
hereby
you
see
what
Reason
may
be
given
for
Medicines
,
and
what
necessity
there
is
for
every
Physitian
to
be
an
Astrologer
,
you
have
heard
it
before
I
suppose
,
but
now
you
know
it
;
what
remains
,
but
that
you
labor
to
glorifie
God
in
your
several
places
,
and
do
good
to
your
selves
first
by
encreasing
your
Knowledg
,
and
to
your
Neighbors
afterwards
by
helping
their
Infirmities
;
some
such
I
hope
this
Nation
is
worthy
of
,
and
to
such
shall
I
remain
a
Friend
,
during
life
,
readie
to
my
poor
power
to
help

Description
.
This
small
Herb
hath
but
one
Leaf
;
which
grows
with
the
Stalk
a
fingers
length
above
the
ground
,
being
fat
,
and
of
a
fresh
green
colour
,
broad
like
the
Water
Plantane
(
but
less
)
without
any
middle
Rib
in
it
:
from
the
bottom
of
which
Leaf
on
the
inside
,
riseth
up
(
ordinarily
)
one
,
somtimes
two
or
three
small
slender
stalks
,
the
upper
half
wherof
is
somwhat
bigger
,
and
dented
with
smal
round
dents
of
a
yellowish
green
colour
,
like
the
Tongue
of
an
Adder
or
Serpent
(
only
this
is
as
useful
as
they
are
formidable
)
The
Root
continues
all
the
year
.
Place
.
It
groweth
in
moist
Meadows
,
and
such
like
places
.
Time
.
And
is
to
be
found
in
April
and
May
,
for
it
quickly
perisheth
with
a
little
heat
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
It
is
temperate
,
in
respect
of
heat
,
but
dry
in
the
Second
Degree
.
The
Juyce
of
the
Leaves
drunk
with
the
distilled
Water
of
Horstail
is
a
singular
Remedy
for
all
manner
of
wounds
in
the
Breast
,
Bowels
,
or
other
parts
of
the
body
,
and
is
given
with
good
success
unto
those
who
are
troubled
with
Casting
,
Vomiting
,
or
bleeding
at
the
Mouth
or
Nose
,
or
otherwise
downwards
.
The
said
Juyce
given
in
the
distilled
Water
of
Oaken
Buds
is
very
good
for
Women
who
have
their
usual
Courses
,
or
the
Whites
flowing
down
too
abundantly
.
It
helps
sore
Eyes
.
The
Leaves
infused
or
boyled
in
Oyl
Omphacine
,
or
unripe
Olives
set
in
the
Sun
for
certain
daies
,
or
the
green
Leaves
sufficiently
boyled
in
the
said
Oyl
,
is
made
an
excellent
green
Balsom
,
not
only
for
green
and
fresh
Wounds
,
but
also
for
old
and
inveterate
Ulcers
,
especially
if
a
little
fine
clear
Turpentine
be
dissolved
therin
:
It
also
stayeth
and
represseth
all
inflamations
that
arise
upon
pains
,

green

and
a

:
Among

one
strong

brown
Stalk
,
two
or
three
Foot
high
,
with
smaller
Leaves
set

many
smal
yellow
Flowers

Spikes
:
after
which
come
rough
heads
of
Seeds
hanging

Vertues
and
Uses
.
It
is
of
a
clensing
and
cutting
faculty
without
any
manifest
heat
,
moderately
drying
and
binding
;
It
openeth
and
clenseth
the
Liver
,
helpeth
the
Jaundice
,
and
is
very
beneficial
to
the
Bowels
,
healing
all
inward
Wounds
,
Bruises
,
Hurts
,
and
other
distempers
.
The
Decoction
of
the
Herb
made
with
Wine
and
drunk
is
good
against
the
stinging
and
biting
of
Serpents
,
and
helps
them
that
have
foul
,
troubled
,
or
bloody
waters
,
and
makes
them
piss
cleer
spedily
;
It
also
helpeth
the
Chollick
,
clenseth
the
Breast
,
and
rids
away
the
Cough
.
A
draught
of
the
Decoction
taken

removes
,

draweth
forth
Thorns
,

,
or
any
other
such
thing
gotten
into

;
it

The
distilled
Water
of
the
Herb
is
good
to
all
the
said
purposes
,
either
inward
or
outward
,
but
a
great
deal
weaker
.
It
is
an
Herb
under
Jupiter
,
and
the
Sign
of
Cancer
,
and
therfore
strengthens
those
parts
under
that
Planet
and
Sign
,
and
removes
Diseases
in
them
by
Sympathy
,
and
those
under
Saturn
,
Mars
,
and
Mercury
,
by
Antipathy
.
If
they
happen
in
any
part
of
the
Body
governed
by
Jupiter
,
or
under
the
Signs
,
Cancer
,
Sagitary
,
or
Pisces
,
and
therfore
must
needs
be
good
for
the
Gout
,
either
used
outwardly
in
an
Oyl
or
Oyntment
,
or
inwardly
in
an
Electuary
or
Syrup
,
or
concreated
Juyce
,
for
which
see
the
latter
end
of
the
Book
.
It
is
a
most
admirable
remedy
for
such
whose
Livers
are
annoyed
either
by
heat
or
cold
.
The
Liver
is
the
former
of
Blood
,
and
Blood
the
Nourisher
of
the
body
,
and
Agrimony
and
Strengthner
of
the
Liver
.
I
cannot
stand
to
give
you
a
Reason
in
every
Herb
why
it
cureth
such
Diseases
,
but
if
you
please
to
peruse
my
Judgment
in
the
Herb
Wormwood
you
shall
find
them
there
,
and
it
will
be
well
worth
your
while
to
consider
it
in
every
Herb
,
you
shall
find
them
true
throughout
the
Book

TREE
.
Description
.
This
Tree
seldom
groweth
to
any
great
bigness
,
but
for
the
most
part
abideth
like
a
Hedg
,
Bush
,
or
Tree
spreading
into
Branches
,
the

with
many
white
spots
theron
:
but
the
inner
Bark
next
unto
the
Wood
is
yellow
,
which
being
chewed
will
turn
the
Spittle
neer
unto
a
Saffron
colour
.
The
Leaves
are
somwhat
like
those
of
the

Alder
-
Tree
,
or
the
Foemale
Cornel
,
or
Dogberry
-
Tree
,
called

,
but

of
the
earth
.
Place
.
This
Tree
or
Shrub
may
be
found
plentifully
in
St

Johns
Wood
by
Hornsey
,
and
in
the

upon
Hamsted

Vertues
and

herof
purgeth
downwards
both

Smalledg
,
Endive
,
and
Succory
Roots
,
and
a
reasonable

taken
every
morning
for
some

together
,
it

been
taken
before
to

the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
clensing
them
from
such
evil
humors
,
and
hardness
as
they
are
afflicted
with
:
It
is
to
be
understood
that
these
things
are
performed
by
the
dryed
Bark
,
for
the
fresh
green
Bark
taken
inwardly
provoketh
strong
Vomitings
,
pains
in
the
Stomach
,
and
gripings
in
the
Belly

or
three
daies
until
the
yellow
colour
be
changed
black
,
it
will
not
work

Bark
contrarywise
doth
bind
the
Body
,
and
is
helpful
for
all
Lasks
and
Fluxes
therof
,
but
this
must
also
be
dried
first
,
wherby
it
wil
work
the
better
.
The
inner
Bark
herof
boyled
in
Vinegar
,
is
an
approved
remedy
to
kill
Lice
,
to
cure
the
Itch
,
and
take
away
Scabs
by
drying
them
up
in
a
short
time
:
It
is
singular
good

and
let
them
work
together
,
and
drink
a
draught
of
it
every
morning
half
a
pint
or
there
about
:
It
is
an
excellent
Purge
for
the
Spring
,
to
consume
that
Flegmatick
quality

Winter
hath
left
behind
it
,
and
withal

THE
COMMON
ALDER
-
TREE
.
Description
.
Groweth
to
a
reasonable
heighth
,
and
spreads
much
if
it
like
the
place
;
It
is
so
generally
wel
known
unto
Country
People
that
I
conceive
it
needless
to
tel
them
that
which
is
no
news
.
Place
and
Time
.
It
delighteth
to
grow
in
moist
Woods
and
watry
places
,
Flowring
in
April
or
May
and
yeilding
ripe
Seed
in
September
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Leaves
and
Bark
of
the
Alder
-
Tree
,
are
cooling
,
drying
,
and
binding
,
The
fresh
Leaves
laid
upon
swelling
,
dissolveth
them
,
and
staieth
the
Inflamations
;
The
Leaves
put
under
the
bare
Feet
gauled
with
travelling
are
a
great
refreshing
to
them
:
The
said
Leaves
gathered
while
the
morning
dew
is
on
them
,
and
brought
into
a
chamber
troubled
with
Fleas
,
wil
gather
them
therinto
,
which
being
suddenly
cast
out
wil
rid
the
Chamber
of
those
troublesom
Bed
-
fellows
.
Cooling
,
Drying
,
Binding
,
Swellings
,
Fleas
.
It
is
a
Tree
under
the
Dominion
of
Venus
,
and
of
some
watry
Sign
or
other
,
I
suppose
Pisces
,
and
therfore
the
Decoction
,
or
distilled
Water
of
the
Leaves
is
excellent
against
Burnings
,
and
Inflamation
,
either
with
Wounds
or
without
,
to
bath
the
place
grieved
with
,
and
especially
for
that
inflamation
in
the
Breast
which
the
vulgar
call
an
Ague
.
Burnings
,
Inflamations
.
If
you
cannot
get
the
Leaves
,
as
in
Winter
'tis
impossible
,
make
use
of
the
Bark
in
the
same
manner
.
ANGELICA
.
To
write
a
Description
of
that
which
is
so
well
known
to
be
growing
in
almost
every
Garden
,
I
suppose
is
altogether
needless
:
yet
for
its
Vertues
it
is
of
admirable
use
.
In
times
of
Heathenism
when
men
had
found
out
any
excellent
Herb
&c
.
they
dedicated
it
to
their
gods
,
As
the
Bay
-
tree
to
Apollo
,
the
Oak
to
Jupiter
,
the
Vine
to
Bacchus
,
the
Poplar
to
Hercules
:
These
the
Papists
following
as
their
Patriarchs
,
they
dedicate
them
to
their
Saints
,
as
our
Ladies
Thistle
to
the
Blessed
Virgin
,
St
.
Johns
Wort
to
St
.
John
,
and
another
Wort
to
St
.
Peter
,
&c
.
Our
Physitians
must
imitate
like
Apes
,
(
though
they
cannot
come
off
half
so
cleverly
)
for
they
Blasphemously
call
Pansies
,
or
Hartseas
,
an
Herb
of
the
Trinity
,
because
it
is
of
three
colours
:
and
a
certain
Oyntment
,
an
Oyntment
of
the
Apostles
,
because
it
consisteth
of
twelve
Ingredients
;
Alas
poor
Fools
,
I
am
sorry
for
their
folly
,
and
grieved
at
their
Blasphemy
;
God
send
them
the
rest
of
their
Age
,
for
they
have
their
share
of
Ignorance
already
;
O
!
why
must
ours
be
Blasphemous
becaus
the
Heathens
and
Papists
were
Idolatrous
?
certainly
they
have
read
so
much
in
old
rustie
Authors
,
that
they
have
lost
all
their
Decmity
,
for
unless
it
were
amongst
the
ranters
,
I
never
read
or
heard
of
such
Blasphemy
:
The
Heathens
and
Papists
were
bad
,
and
ours
wors
,
the
Papists
giving
Idolatrous
Names
to
Herbs
for
their
Vertues
sake
,
not
for
their
fair
looks
;
and
thefore
some
called
this
an
Herb
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
others
more
moderate
called
it
Angelica
,
becaus
of
its
Angelical
Vertues
,
and
that
name
it
retains
still
,
and
all
Nations
follow
it
so
near
as
their
Dialect
will
permit
.
Vertues
and
Uses
.
It
resists
Poyson
,
by
defending
and
comforting
the
Heart
,
Bleed
,
and
Spirits
,
it
doth
the
like
against
the
Plague
,
and
all
Epidemical
Diseases
if
the
Root
be
taken
in
pouder
to
the
waight
of
half
a
dram
at
a
time
with
some
good
Triacle
in
Cardus
Water
,
and
the
party
therupon
laid
to
sweat
in
his
Bed
.
If
Treacle
be
not
at
hand
,
take
it
alone
in
Cardus
or
Angelica
Water
.
The
Stalks
or
Roots
candied
and
eaten
fasting
are
good
Preservatives
in
time
of
Infection
;
and
at
other
times
to
warm
and
comfort
a
cold
Stomach
.
The
Root
also
steeped
in
Vinegar
,
and
a
little
of
that
Vinegar
taken
somtimes
fasting
,
and
the
Root
smelled
unto
is
good
for
the
same
purpose
.
A
water
distilled
from
the
Root
simply
,
or
steeped
in
Wine
and
distilled
in
Glass
,
is
much
more
effectual
than
the
Water
of
the
Leaves
;
and
this
Water
drunk
two
or
three
spoonfuls
at
a
time
,
easeth
all
Pains
and
Torments
coming
of
Cold
and
Wind
,
so
as
the
Body
be
not
bound
:
and
taken
with
some
of
the
Root
in
Pouder
at
the
beginning
helpeth
the
Pluresy
,
as
also
all
other
Diseases
of
the
Lungues
and
Breast
,
as
Coughs
,
Phthisick
,
and
shortness
of
Breath
;
and
a
Syrup
of
the
Stalks
doth
the
like
:
It
helps
pains
of
the
Colick
,
the
Strangury
,
and
stopping
of
the
Urin
,
procureth
Womens
Courses
,
and
expelleth
the
After
-
birth
,
openeth
the
stoppings
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
and
briefly
easeth
and
discusseth
al
windiness
and
inward
swellings
.
The
Decoction
drunk
before
the
fit
of
an
Ague
,
that
they
may
sweat
(
if
possible
)
before
the
fit
come
,
wil
in
two
or
three
times
taking
rid
it
quite
away
:
It
helps
digestion
,
and
is
a
remedy
for
a
Surfet
.
The
Juyce
or
the
Water
being
dropped
into
the
Eyes
or
Ears
,
helps
dimness
of
sight
and
deafness
:
The
Juyce
put
into
the
hollow
Teeth
,
easeth
their
pains
.
The
Roots
in
Pouder
made
up
into
a
Plaister
with
a
little
Pitch
;
and
laid
on
the
biting
of
a
mad
-
Dog
,
or
any
other
venemous
creature
,
doth
wonderfully
help
:
The
Juyce
or
the
Water
dropped
,
or
tents
wet
therin
,
and
put
into
old
filthy
deep
Ulcers
,
Or
the
Pouder
of
the
Root
(
in
want
of
either
)
doth
clens
and
cause
them
to
heal
quickly
,
by
covering
the
naked
Bones
with
Flesh
.
The
distilled
Water
applied
to
places
pained
with
the
Gout
or
Sciatica
,
doth
give
a
great
deal
of
ease
.
Poyson

Pestilence

The
wild
Angelica
is
not
so
effectual
as
the
Garden
,
although
it
may
be
safly
used
to
all
the
purpose
aforesaid
.
It
is
an
Herb
of
the
Sun
in
Leo
;
let
it
be
gathered
when
he
is
there
,
the
Moon
applying
to
his
good
Aspect
;
let
it
be
gathered
either
in
his
hour
,
or
in
the
hour
of
Jupiter
,
let
Sol
be
angular
.
Observe
the
like
in
gathering
the
Herbs
of
other
Plants
,
and
you
may
happen
do
wonders
.
In
all
Epidemical
Diseases
caused
by
Saturn
this
is
as
good
a
Preservative
as
grows
.
APPLES
.
A
Word
or
two
of
the
most
usual
kinds
of
Apples
,
though
the
Colledg
of
Physitians
make
use
of
none
but
such
as
Vulgo
vulgati
,
Pearmains
,
vel
Pippins
.
Apples
in
general
are
cold
and
windy
,
and
being
of
sundry
tasts
,
Galen
sheweth
thereby
how
to
distinguish
them
:
Som
have
a
sharp
tast
,
and
are
good
for
fainting
Stomachs
and
loos
Bellies
;
others
sowr
,
good
to
cool
and
quench
thirst
;
som
sharp
,
fit
to
cut
gross
flegm
;
som
sweet
,
soon
destributed
in
the
Body
,
and
as
soon
passed
away
,
yet
sooner
corrupted
in
the
Stomach
if
they
be
staid
:
The
best
sorts
before
they
be
throughly
ripe
are
to
be
avoided
;
then
to
be
roasted
or
scalded
is
the
best
way
to
take
them
and
a
little
Spice
or
Seeds
cast
upon
them
and
taken
after
meat
,
do
strengthen
both
Stomach
and
Bowels
,
especially
in
those
that
loath
,
or
hardly
digest
their
meat
,
or
are
given
to
casting
,
or
have
a
Flux
or
Lask
:
Those
that
are
a
little
sowr
and
harsh
used
in
that
manner
are
fittest
:
Sweet
Apples
loosen
the
Belly
and
drive
forth
Worms
;
Sowr
Apples
stop
the
Belly
,
and
provoke
Urin
;
and
Crabs
for
this
purpose
are
fittest
:
The
sweet
Apples
as
the
Pippin
and
Pearmain
,
help
to
dissolve
Melancholly
humors
,
and
to
procure
Mirth
,
and
therfore
are
fittest
for
Confectio
Alkermes
,
and
Syrupus
de
Pomis
.
The
Leavs
boyled
and
given
to
drink
in
hot
Agues
,
where
the
heat
of
the
Liver
and
Stomach
causeth
the
Lips
to
break
out
,
and
the
Throat
to
grow
dry
,
harsh
and
furred
,
is
very
good
to
wash
and
gargle
it
withal
,
and
to
drink
down
som
.
This
may
to
good
purpose
be
used
when
better
things
are
not
at
hand
,
or
cannot
be
had
.
The
Juyce
of
Crabs
either
Verjuyce
or
Cider
,
is
of
singular
good
use
in
the
Heat
and
faintings
of
the
Stomach
,
and
against
Casting
to
make
a
Posset
with
,
or
taken
som
of
it
alone
by
it
self
.
The
Juyce
of
Crabs
,
or
Cider
applied
with
wet
cloaths
therein
to
scalded
or
burnt
places
,
cooleth
,
healeth
,
and
draweth
forth
the
Fire
.
A
rotten
Apple
applied
to
Eyes
bloodshotten
,
or
enflamed
with
heat
,
or
that
are
black
and
blue
about
them
by
any
stroke
of
fall
,
and
bound
too
all
day
or
night
,
helpeth
them
quickly
.
The
distilled
Water
of
rotten
Apples
doth
cool
the
heat
and
inflamations
of
Sores
,
and
is
good
to
bath
foul
creeping
Ulcers
,
and
to
wash
the
Face
to
take
away
Spots
,
Freckles
or
other
discolorings
.
The
distilled
Water
of
good
and
sound
Apples
is
of
special
good
use
to
procure
Mirth
,
and
expel
Melancholly
.
The
ointment
called
Pomatum
,
if
sweet
and
well
made
,
helpeth
the
Chops
in
the
Lips
or
Hands
,
and
maketh
smooth
and
supple
the
rough
Skin
of
the
Hands
or
Face
parched
with
wind
or
other
accidents

Thus
my
Authors
.
All
that
I
can
say
of
Apples
is
this
:
1
That
they
are
extream
windy
.
2
That
they
provoke
Urin
,
being
roasted
(
especially
Pomwaters
)
and
mixed
with
fair
Water
,
and
drunk
up
at
night
going
to
bed
;
half
a
dozen
great
ones
mixed
with
a
quart
of
Water
,
excellently
provokes
Urin
,
if
there
be
no
material
stone
in
the
Body
:
This
I
had
of
Gerhard
,
and
have
often
known
it
proved
,
and
alwaies
with
good
success
.
All
Apples
loosen
the
Belly
and
pleasure
the
Stomach
by
their
coolness
.

Vertues
and
Use
.
Stinking
Arrach
is
used
as
a
remedy
to
help
Women
pained
,
and
almost
strangled
with
the
Mother
,
by
smelling
to
it
:
But
inwardly
taken
,
there
is
not
a
better
Remedy
under
the
Moon
for
that
Disease
.
I
would
be
large
in
commendation
of
this
Herb
,
were
I
but
Eloquent
.
It
is
an
Herb
under
the
dominion
of
Venus
,
and
under
the
sign
Scorpio
:
It
is
common
almost
upon
every
Dunghil
.
The
Works
of
God
are
given
freely
to
Man
,
his
Medicins
are
common
and
cheap
,
and
easie
to
be
found
:
'tis
the
Medicines
of
the
Colledg
of
Physitians
that
are
so
dear
and
scarce
to
find
)
I
commend
it
for
an
Universal
Medicine
for
the
Womb
,
and
such
a
Medicine
as
will
easily
,
safly
,
and
speedily
cure
any
Diseas
therof
,
as
the
fits
of
the
Mother
,
Dislocation
or
falling
out
therof
;
it
cools
the
Womb
being
over
-
heated
.
(
And
let
me
tel
you
this
,
and
I
wil
tel
you
but
the
truth
,
Heat
of
the
womb
is
one
of
the
greatest
causes
of
hard
labor
in
Childbirth
)
It
makes
barren
women
fruitful
,
it
clenseth
the
Womb
if
it
be
foul
and
strengthens
it
exceedingly
;
it
provokes
the
Terms
if
they
be
stopped
,
and
stops
them
if
they
flow
immoderately
.
You
can
desire
no
good
to
your
Womb
,
but
this
Herb
will
effect
it
;
therfore
if
you
love
Children
,
if
you
love
Health
,
if
you
love
Ease
,
keep
a
Syrup
alwaies
by
you
made
of
the
juyce
of
this
Herb
and
Sugar
(
or
Honey
if
it
be
to
clens
the
Womb
)
and
let
such
as
be
rich
keep
it
for
their
poor
neighbors
,
and
bestow
it
as
freely
as
I
bestow
my
studies
upon
them

it

ARCHANGEL
.
To
put
a
gloss
upon
their
practice
;
the
Physitians
call
an
Herb
(
which
Country
people
vulgarly
know
by
the
name
of
Dead
-
Nettles
)
Archangel
,
wherein
whether
they
favor
of
more
Superstition
or
Folly
I
leave
to
the
judicious
Reader
.
There
is
more
curiosity
than
courtesie
to
my
Countrymen
used
by
others
in
the
explaination
,
aswel
of
the
Names
as
Description
of
this
so
wel
-
known
an
Herb
;
which
that
I
may
not
also
be
guilty
of
,
Take
this
short
Description
first
of
the
Red
-
Archangel
.
Description
.
This
hath
divers
square
stalks
somwhat
hairy
,
at
the
joynts
whereof
grow
two
sad
green
Leaves
dented
about
the
edges
,
opposit
to
one
another
,
the
lowermost
upon
long
footstalks
,
but
without
any
toward
the
tops
which
are
somwhat
round
,
yet
pointed
,
and
a
little
crumpled
and
hairy
:
Round
about
the
upper
Joynts
where
the
Leaves
grow
thick
,
are
sundry
gaping
Flowers
of
a
pale
reddish
colour
,
after
which
com
the
Seeds
three
or
four
in
a
Husk
.
The
Root
is
small
and
thriddy
,

Yellow
-
Archangel
is
like
the
White
in
the
Stalks

they
creep
not
so
much
under

Place
.
They
grow
almost
everywhere
,
(
unless
it
be
in
the
middle
of
the
street
)
the
Yellow
most
usually
in
the
wet
grounds
of
Woods
,
and
somtimes
in
the
dryer
,
in
divers
countries
of
this
Nation
.

.
They
flower
from
the
begining
of
the
spring
all
the
summer
long
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Archangels
are
somwhat
hot
and
dryer
than
the
stinking
Nettles
,
and
used
with
better
success
for
the
stopping
and
hardness
of
the
Spleen
than
they
by
using
the
Decoction
of
the
Herb
in
Wine
,
and
afterwards
applying
the
Herb
hot
unto
the
Region
of
the
Spleen
as
a
Plaister
,
or
the
Decoction
with
Spunges
.
The
Flowers
of
the
White
Archangel
are
preserved
,
or
conserved
to
be
used
to
stay
the
Whites
and
the
Flowers
of
the
Red
to
stay
the
Reds
in
Women
.
It
makes
the
Heart
merry
,
drives
away
Melancholly
,
quickens
the
Spirits
,
is
good
against
Quartan
Agues
,
stancheth
bleedings
at
Mouth
or
Nose
,
if
it
be
stamped
and
applied
to
the
nape
of
the
Neck
:
The
Herb
also
brused
and
with
some
Salt
and
Vinegar
,
and
Hogs
Greas
laid
upon
any
hard
tumor
or
swelling
;
or
that
which
is
vulgarly
called
the
Kings
Evil
,
doth
help
to
dissolve
or
discuss
them
,
and
being
in
like
manner
applied
doth
much
allay
the
pains
and
give
eas
to
the
Gout
,
Sciatica
,
and
other
aches
of
the
Joynts
and
Sinews
:
It
is
also
very
effectual
to
heal
all
green
Wounds
,
and
old
Ulcers
,
also
to
stay
their
fretting
,
gnawing
,
and
spreading
;
It
draweth
forth
Splinters
and
such
like
things
gotten
into
the
flesh
,
and
is
very
good
against
bruises
and
burnings
.
But
the
yellow
Archangel
,
is
most
commended
for
old
filty
corrupt
Sores
and
Ulcers
,
yea
,
although
they
grow
to
be
hollow
;
and
to
dissolve
tumors
.
The
chief
use
of
them
is
for
Women
it
being
an
Herb
of
Venus
,

ARSMART

Description
of
the
Mild
.
This
hath
broad
Leaves
set
at
the
great
red
Joynts
of
the
Stalks
,
with
semicircular
blackish
marks
on
them
usually
,
yet
somtimes
without
:
The
Flowers
grow
in
long
Spikes
usually
either
blush
or
whitish
with
such
like
Seed
following
.
The
Root
is
long
with
many
strings
therat
perishing
yeerly
;
this
hath
no
sharp
tast
(
as
another
sort
hath
,
which
is
quick
and
biting
)
but
rather
sowr
like
Sorrel
,
or
els
a
little
drying
without
tast
.
Place
.
It
grows
in
watery
Plashes
,
Ditches
,
and
the
like
,
which
for
the
most
part
are
dry
in
Summer
.
Time
.
It
Flowreth
in
June
,
and
the
Seed
is
ripe
in
August
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
It
is
of
a
cooling
and
drying
quality
,
and
very
effectual
for
putrified
Ulcers
in
Man
or
Beast
,
to
kill
the
worms
and
clens
the
putrified
Places
:
The
Juyce
therof
dropped
in
,
or
otherwise
applied
,
consumeth
all
cold
Swellings
,
and
dissolveth
the
congealed
Blood
of
bruises
by
strokes
,
falls
,
&c
.
A
piece
of
the
Root
,
or
some
of
the
Seed
bruised
and
held
to
an
aching
Tooth
,
taketh
away
the
pain
.
The
Leaves
bruised
and
laid
to
the
Joynt
that
hath
a
Fellon
theron
,
taketh
it
away
.
The
Juyce
destroyeth
Worms
in
the
Ears
being
dropped
into
them
:
if
the
hot
Arsmart
be
strewed
in
a
Chamber
it
will
soon
kill
all
the
Fleas
;
and
the
Herb
or
Juyce
of
the
cold
Arsmart
put
to
Horses
or
other
Cattels
sores
will
drive
away
the
Flie
in
the
hottest
time
of
Summer
:
A
good
handful
of
the
hot
biting
Arsmart
put
under
a
Horses
Saddle
will
make
him
travel
the
better
although
he
were
half
tired
before
:
The
mild
Arsmart
is
good
against
hot
Imposthumes
and
Inflamations
at
the
beginning
and
to
heal
green
Wounds
.
Ulcers
,
Cold
swellings
,
Bruises
,
Congeled
Blood
,
Toothach
,
Felons
,
or
Andicoms
,
Worms
in
the
Ears
,
Fleas
,
Tired
Horses
,
Impostums
Inflamations
,
Wounds
.
All
Authors
chop
the
Vertues
of
both
sort
of
Arsmart
together
,
as
men
chop
Herbs
for
the
Pot
,
when
both
of
them
are
of
clean
contrary
qualities
,
The
hot
Arsmart
groweth
not
so
high
or
tall
as
the
mild
doth
,
but
hath
many
leaves
of
the
colour
of
Peach
leaves
,
very
seldom
or
never
spotted
,
in
other
particulars
it
is
like
the
former
,
but
may
easily
be
known
from
it
,
if
you
will
be
but
pleased
to
break
a
Leaf
of
it
cross
your
Tongue
,
for
the
hot
will
make
your
Tongue
to
smart
,
so
will
not
the
cold
;
if
you
see
them
both
together
you
many
easily
distinguish
them
,
becaus
the
mild
hath
far
broader
Leaves
:
And
our
Colledg
of
Physitians
out
of
their
learned
care
for
the
publick
good
,
Anglice
their
own
gain
,
mistake
the
one
for
the
other
in
their
New
-
Master
-
Piece
,
wherby
they
discover
,
1
.
Their
Ignorance
,
2
.
Their
Carelesness
,
and
he
that
hath
but
half
an
eye
may
see
their
pride
without
a
pair
of
Spectacles
.
I
have
done
what
I
could
to
distinguish
them
in
their
Vertues
,
and
when
you
find
not
the
contrary
named
,
use
the
cold
.
The
truth
is
,
I
have
not
yet
spoken
with
Dr
.
Reason
,
nor
his
Brother
Dr
.
Experience
,
concerning
either
of
them
both
.
ASARABACCA
.
Asarabacca
hath
many
Heads
rising
from
the
Roots
,
from
whence
come
many
smooth
Leavs
,
every
one
upon
his
own
Footstalk
,
which
are
rounder
and
bigger
than
Violet
Leaves
,
thicker
also
,
and
of
a
darker
green
shining
colour
on
the
upper
side
,
and
of
a
paler
yellow
green
underneath
,
little
or
nothing
dented
about
the
edges
;
from
among
which
rise
smal
round
hollow
,
brown
green
husks
,
upon
short
stalks
about
an
inch
long
,
divided
at
the
brims
into
five
divisions
,
very
like
the
Cups
or
Heads
of
the
Henbane
Seed
,
but
that
they
are
smaller
;
and
these
be
all
the
Flowers
it
carrieth
,
which
are
somwhat
sweet
,
being
smelled
unto
,
and
wherein
when
they
are
ripe
is
contained
smal
cornered
,
rough
Seeds
,
very
like
the
Kernels
or
Stones
of
Grapes
or
Raisons
.
The
Roots
are
small
and
whitish
spreading
divers
waies
in
the
ground
,
and
encreasing
into
divers
Heads
;
but
not
running
or
creeping
under
ground
as
some
other
creeping
Herbs
do
;
They
are
somwhat
sweet
in
smell
,
resembling
Nardus
,
but
more
when
they
are
dry
,
than
green
;
and
of
a
sharp
but
not
unpleasant
tast
.
Place
.
It
groweth
frequently
in
Gardens
.
Time
.
They
keep
their
Leaves
green
all
Winter
,
but
shoot
forth
new
in
the
Spring
,
and
with
them
come
forth
those
Heads
or
Flowers
which
give
ripe
Seed
about
Midsummer
,
or
somwhat
after
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
This
Herb
being
drunk
,
not
only
provoketh
vomiting
,
but
purgeth
downward
,
and
by
Urin
also
,
purging
both
Choller
and
Flegm
:
if
you
ad
to
it
some
Spicknard
,
with
the
Whey
of
Goats
Milk
or
Honeyed
Water
,
it
is
made
more
strong
,
but
it
purgeth
Flegm
more
manifestly
than
Choller
,
and
therfore
doth
much
help
pains
in
the
Hips
and
other
parts
,
it
being
boyled
in
Whey
,
it
wonderfully
helpeth
the
Obstruction
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
and
therfore
profitable
for
the
Dropsie
and
Jaundice
being
steeped
in
Wine
and
drunk
.
It
helps
those
continual
Agues
that
come
by
the
plenty
of
stubborn
humors
:
An
Oyl
made
therof
by
setting
it
in
the
Sun
,
with
some
Laudanum
added
to
it
,
provoketh
sweating
(
the
ridg
of
the
Back
being
anointed
therwith
)
and
therby
driveth
away
the
shaking
Fits
of
Agues
.
It
will
not
abide
any
long
boyling
,
for
it
loseth
its
chiefest
strength
therby
;
nor
much
beating
;
for
the
finer
Pouder
doth
provoke
Vomit
and
Urin
,
and
the
courser
purgeth
downwards
.
Causeth
Vomiting
,
Choller
,
Flegm
,
Urin
,
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
Dropsy
,
Jaundice
,
Agues
.
The
common
Use
herof
is
to
take
the
Juyce
of
five
or
seven
Leavs
in
a
little
Drink
to
caus
Vomitings
:
The
Roots
have
also
the
same
Vertue
,
though
they
do
not
operate
so
forcibly
,
yet
they
are
very
effectual
against
the
biting
of
Serpents
,
and
therfore
is
put
as
an
ingredient
both
into
Methridate
and
Venice
Treacle
.
The
Leaves
and
Roots
being
boyled
in
Ly
,
and
the
Head
often
washed
therwith
,
while
it
is
warm
,
comforteth
the
Head
and
Brain
that
is
ill
affected
by
taking
cold
,
and
helpeth
the
Memory
.
Serpents
.
Head
.
Memory
.
I
shall
desire
Ignorant
people
to
forbear
the
use
of
the
Leavs
,
the
Roots
purge
more
gently
,
and
may
prove
beneficial
in
such
as
have
Cancers
,
or
old
putrified
Ulcers
,
or
Fistulaes
upon
their
Bodies
,
to
take
a
dram
of
them
in
Pouder
in
a
quarter
of
a
pint
of
white
Wine
in
the
morning
.
The
truth
is
,
I
fancy
Purging
and
Vomiting
Medicines
as
little
as
any
Man
breathing
doth
,
for
they
weaken
Nature
nor
shall
never
advise
them
to
be
used
unless
upon
urgent
necessity
.
If
a
Physitian
be
Natures
servant
,
it
is
his
duty
to
strengthen
his
Mistris
as
much
as
he
can
,
and
weaken
her
as
little
as
may
be
.

The

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
yong
tender
Tops
with
the
Leaves
taken
inwardly
,
and
some
of
them
outwardly
applied
are
singular
good
against
the
biting
of
the
Viper
,
Adder
,
or
any
other
Venemous
Beast
:
And
the
Water
distilled
therfrom
,
being
taken
a
smal
quantity
every
morning
fasting
,
is
a
singular
Medicine
for
those
that
are
subject
to
a
Dropsie
,
or
to
abate
the
greatness
of
those
who
are
too
gross
or
fat

Decoction
of
the
Leaves
in
white
Wine
,
helpeth
to
break
the
Stone
and
expel
it
,
and
cureth
the
Jaundice
.
The
Ashes
of
the
Bark
of
the
Ash
made
into
Ly
,
and
those
Heads
bathed
therwith
which
are
Leprous
,
Scabby
,
or
Scal'd

they
are
therby
cured
.
The
Kernels
within
the
Husks
commonly
called
Ashen
Keys
,
prevaileth
against
Stitches
and
pains
in
the
sides
proceeding
of

Leprosie
,

,
Scald

,

.
I
can
justly
except
against
none
of
all
this
save
only
the
first
,
viz
.
That
Ash
-
tree
Tops
and
Leaves
are
good
against
the
biting
of
Serpents
and
Vipers
,
and
I
suppose
this
had
its
rise
from
Gerard
,
or
Pliny
,
both
which
hold
that
there
is
such
an
Antipathy
between
an
Adder
and
an
Ash
-
tree
,
that
if
an
Adder
be
compassed
round
with
Ash
-
tree
Leaves
,
she
wil
sooner
run
through
the
fire
than
through
the
Leaves
,
the
contrary
to
which
is
the
truth
,
as
both
my
eyes
are
witnesses
:
the
rest
are
Vertues
somthing
likely
,
only
if
it
be
in
Winter
when
you
cannot
get
the
Leaves
,
you
may
safely
use
the
Bark
instead
of
them
,
the
Keys
you
may
easily
keep
all
the
year
,
gathering
them
when
they
are
ripe
.
AVENS
.
Description
.
The
ordinary
Avens
hath
many
long
,
rough
,
dark
green
,
winged
Leavs
rising
from
the
Root
,
every
one
made
of
many
Leavs
set
on
each
side
of
the
middle
Rib
,
the
largest
three
wherof
grow
at
the
ends
and
are
snip'd
or
dented
round
about
the
edges
:
the
other
being
smal
pieces
,
somtimes
two
and
somtimes
four
standing
on
each
side
of
the
middle
rib
underneath
them
;
among
which
do
rise
up
divers
rough
or
hairy
Stalks
about
two
foot
high
branching
forth
with
Leavs
at
every
Joynt
,
not
so
long
as
those
below
,
but
almost
as
much
cut
in
on
the
edges
,
some
into
three
parts
,
some
into
more
:
On
the
Tops
of
the
Branches
stand
smal
pale
yellow
Flowers
consisting
of
five
Leavs
,
like
the
Flowers
of
Cynkfoyl
,
but
larger
in
the
middle
,
wherof
standeth
a
smal
green
Head
,
which
when
the
Flower
is
fallen
groweth
to
be
rough
and
round
,
being
made
of
many
long
greenish
purple
Seeds
(
like
grains
)
which
wil
stick
upon
your
Cloathes
.
The
Root
consists
of
many
brownish
strings
or
fibres
,
smelling
somwhat
like
unto
Clover
,
especially
those
which
grow
in
the
higher
,
hotter
,
and
drier
grounds
,
and
in
the
freer
and
clear
Air
.
Place
.
They
grow
wild
in
many
places
under
Hedg
sides
,
and
by
the
Pathwaies
in
Fields
,
yet
they
rather
delight
to
grow
in
shadowy
than
in
Sunny
places
.
Time
.
They
Flower
in
May
and
June
for
the
most
part
,
and
their
seed
is
ripe
in
July
at
the
furthest
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
It
is
good
for
the
Diseases
of
the
Chest
or
Breast
,
for
pains
and
Stitches
in
the
Sides
,
and
to
expel
crude
and
raw
humors
from
the
Belly
and
Stomach
by
the
sweet
savor
and
warming
quality
;
it
dissolveth
the
inward
congealed
Blood
hapning
by
falls
or
bruises
,
and
the
spitting
of
Blood
,
if
the
Roots
either
green
or
dryed
be
boyled
in
Wine
and
drunk
,
as
also
al
manner
of
inward
Wounds
or
outward
if
they
be
washed
or
bathed
therwith
.
The
Decoction
also
being
drunk
comforteth
the
Heart
,
and
strengtheneth
the
Stomach
,
and
a
cold
Brain
,
and
therfore
is
good
in
the
Spring
time
to
open
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
,
and
helpeth
the
wind
Chollick
;
it
also
helpeth
those
that
have
Fluxes
;
or
are
bursten
,
or
have
a
Rupture
;
It
taketh
away
spots
or
marks
in
the
Face
,
being
washed
therwith
:
The
Juyce
of
the
fresh
Root
or
Pouder
of
the
dried
Root
hath
the
same
effect
with
the
Decoction
.
The
Root
in
the
Spring
time
steeped
in
Wine
doth
give
it
a
delicat
savor
and
tast
,
and
being
drunk
fasting
every
morning
comforteth
the
Heart
,
and
is
a
good
Preservative
against
the
Plague
,
or
any
other
Poyson
;
it
helpeth
Digestion
,
and
warmeth
a
cold
Stomach
,
and
openeth

It
is
very
safe
,
you
need
have
no
Dose
prescribed
;
and
is
very
fit
to
be
kept
in
every
good

.
BALM
.
This
Herb
is
so
wel
known
to
be
an
Inhabitant
almost
in
every
Garden
,
that
I
shal
not
need
to
write
any
Description
thereof
,
although
the
Vertues
thereof
which
are
many
may
not
be
omitted
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Arabian
Physitians
have
extolled
the
Vertues
hereof
to
the
Skyes
,
although
the
Greeks
thought
it
not
worth
mentioning
.
Serapio
saith
,
It
causeth
the
Mind
and
Heart
to
becom
merry
,
and
reviveth
the
Heart
fainting
into
foundlings
,
especially
of
such
who
are
over
taken
in
their
sleep
,
and
driveth
away
al
troublesom
cares
and
thoughts
out
of
the
mind
arising
from
Melancholly
,
or
black
Choller
;
which
Avicen
also
confirmeth
.
It
is
very
good
to
help
Digestion
,
and
open
Obstructions
of
the
Brain
;
and
hath
so
much
purging
quality
in
it
(
saith
Avicen
)
as
to
expel
those
Melancholly
vapors
from
the
Spirits
&
Blood
which
are
in
the
Heart
and
Arteries
although
it
cannot
do
so
in
other
parts
of
the
Body
.
Diascorides
saith
,
That
the
Leaves
steeped
in
Wine
,
and
the
Wine
drunk
,
and
the
Leavs
externally
applied
is
a
remedy
against
the
sting
of
Scorpions
,
and
the
bitings
of
mad
Dogs
,
and
commendeth
the
Decoction
therof
for
Women
to
bath
or
sit
in
to
procure
their
Courses
;
it
is
good
to
wash
aching
Teeth
therwith
and
profitable
for
those
that
have
the
bloody
Flux
.
The
Leaves
also
with
a
little
Nitre
taken
in
Drink
,
are
good
against
a
Surfet
of
Mushromes
,
helps
the
griping
pains
of
the
Belly
and
being
made
into
an
Electuary
is
good
for
them
that
cannot
fetch
their
breath
:
Used
with
Salt
it
takes
away
Wens
,
Kernels
,
or
hard
Swellings
in
the
Flesh
or
Throat
;
it
clenseth
foul
Sores
and
easeth
pains
of
the
Gout
:
It
is
good
for
the
Liver
and
Spleen
.
A
Tansie
or
Cawdle
made
with
Egs
and
the
Juyce
therof
while
it
is
yong
,
putting
to
it
some
Sugar
and
Rosewater
is
good
for
Women
in
Childbed
when
the
After
-
birth
is
not
throughly
avoided
,
and
for
their
faintings
upon
,
or
after
their
sore
travel
.
The
Herb
bruised
and
boyled
in
a

,
to

and

Bodies
of
their
poor
sickly
Neighbors
;
as
also
the
Herb
kept
dry
in

that
so
with

The
greater
ordinary
Bazil
riseth
up
usually
with
one
upright
Stalk
diversly
branching
forth
on
all

with
two

Vertues
and
Use
.
This
is
the
Herb
which
all
Authors
are
together
by
the
Ears
about
,
and
rail
at
one
another
like
Lawyers
:
Galen
and
Diascorides
hold
it
not
fitting
to
be
taken
inwardly
:
and
Chrysippus
rails
at
it
with
downright
Billingsgate
-
Rhetorick
.
Pliny
,
and
the
Arabian
Physitians
defend
it
.
For
mine
own
part
I
presently
found
that
speech
true
;
Non
nostrum
inter
nos
tantas
componere
lites
.
And
away
to
Dr
.
Reason
went
I
,
who
told
me
it
was
an
Herb
of
Mars
,
and
under
the
Scorpion
,
and
perhaps
therfore
called
Basilicon
,
and
then
no
mervail
if
it
carry
a
kind
of
virulent
quality
with
it
:
Being
applied
to
the
place
bitten
by
a
venemous
Beast
,
or
stung
by
a
Wasp
or
Hornet
,
it
speedily
draws
the
Poyson
to
it
;
Every
like
draws
his
like
.
Myzaldus
affirms
,
That
it
being
laid
to
rot
in
Horsdung
it
wil
breed
Venemous
Beasts
.
And
Hollerius
a
French
Physitian
affirms
upon
his
own
knowledg
,
That
an
acquaintance
of
his
by
common
smelling
to
it
,
had
a
Scorpion
bred
in
his
Brain
.
Somthing
is
the
matter
this
Herb
and
Rue
wil
not
grow
together
,
no
nor
near
one
another
:
And
we
know
Rue
is
as
great
an
enemy
to
Poyson
as
any
grows
.
Venemous
Beasts
,
Bees
,
Wasps
,
Hornets
.
To
conclude
:
It
expelleth
both
Birth
,
and
After
-
birth
;
and
as
it
helps
the
deficiency
of
Venus
in
one
kind
,
so
it
spoils
al
her
actions
in
another
.
I
dare
write
no
more
of
it

or
Bark
do
dry
and
heal
very
much
,
and
the
Berries
more
than
the
Leaves
:
The
Bark
of
the
Root
is
less
sharp
and
hot
,
but
more
bitter
,
and
hath
some
astriction
withal
,
whereby
it
is
effectual
to
break
the
Stone
,
and
good
to
open
obstructions
of
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
and
other
inward
parts
,
which
bring
the
Dropsie
,
Jaundice
,
&c
.
The
Berries
are
very
effectual
against
al
Poyson
of
venemous
Creatures
,
and
the
Stings
of
Wasps
and
Bees
,
as
also
against
the
Pestilence
or
other
infectious
Diseases
,
and
therfore
is
put
into
sundry
Triacles
for
that
purpose
:
They
likewise
procure
Womens
Courses
;
and
seven
of
them
given
to
a
Woman
in
sore
travel
of
Child
-
birth
,
do
cause
a
speedy
delivery
,
and
expel
the
After
-
birth
;
and
therfore
not
to
be
taken
by
such
as
have
not
gon
out
their
time
lest
they
procure
Abortment
,
or
cause
Labor
too
soon
:
They
wonderfully
help
al
cold
and
rhumatick
Distillations
from
the
Brain
to
the
Eyes
,
Lungs
or
other
parts
:
And
being
made
into
an
Electuary
with
Honey
,
do
help
the
Consumption
,
old
Coughs
,
shortness
of
Breath
,
and
thin
Rhewms
:
as
also
the
Meagrim
,
they
mightily
expel
wind
and
provoke
Urin
;
help
the
Mother
,
and
kil
the
Worms
:
The
Leaves
also
work
the
like
effects
.
A
Bath
of
the
Decoction
of
the
Leavs
and
Berries
,
is
singular
good
for
Women
to
sit
in
that
are
troubled
with
the
Mother
,
or
the
Diseases
therof
,
or
the
stoppings
of
their
Courses
,
or
for
the
Diseases
of
the
Bladder
,
pains
in
the
Bowels
by
wind
,
and
stoppnig
of
Urin
:
A
decoction
likewise
of
equal
parts
of
Bay
-
berries
,
Cummin
-
Seed
,
Hysop
,
Origanum
,
and
Euphorbium
,
with
some
Honey
,
and
the
Head
bathed
therwith
doth
wonderfully
help
Distillations
and
Rhewms
,
and
setleth
the
Pallat
of
the
Mouth
into
its
place
.
The
Oyl
made
of
the
Berries
is
very
comfortable
in
all
cold
Griefs
of
the
Joynts
,
Nervs
,
Arteries
,
Stomach
,
Belly
,
or
Womb
,
and
helpeth
Palsies
,
Convulsions
,
Cramps
,
Aches
,
trembling
and
numness
in
any
part
,
weariness
also
,
and
pains
that
come
by
sore
travelling
:
Al
griefs
and
pains
likewise
proceeding
from
Wind
,
either
in
the
Head
,
Stomach
,
Back
,
Belly
,
or
Womb
,
by
anointing
the
parts
affected
therwith
:
And
pains
in
the
Ears
are
also
cured
by
dropping
in
some
of
the
Oyl
,
or
by
receiving
into
the
Ears
the
warm
fume
of
the
Decoction
of
the
Berries
through
a
Funnel
.
The
Oyl
takes
away
marks
of
the
Skin
and
Flesh
by
bruises
,
Fals
,
&c
.
and
dissolveth
the
congealed
Bloud
in
them
:
It
helpeth
also

and

in
the

I
shal
but
only
ad
a
word
or
two
to
what
my
Friend
hath
written
,
viz
.
That
it
is
a
Tree
of
the
Sun
,
and
under
the
Coelestial
Sign
Leo
,
and
resisteth
Witchcraft
very
potently
,
as
also
al
the
evil
old
Saturn
can
do
to
the
Body
of
Man
,
and
they
are
not
a
few
,
for
it
is
the
Speech
of
one
,
and
I
am
mistaken
if
it
were
not
Myzaldus
,
That
neither
Witch
nor
Devil
,
Thunder
nor
Lightning
wil
hurt
a
Man
in
the
place
where
a

BEANS

of
yellow
Flowers
very

from
the
several
Joynts
which
consist
of
four
smal
Leavs
apiece
,
which
smel
somwhat

the
Hedges

BEETS
.
Description
.
There
are
two
sorts
of
Beets
which
are
best
known
generally
,
and
wherof
I
shal
principally
intreat
at
this
time
.
Viz
.
The
White
and
the
Red
Beets
,
and
their
vertues
.
The
Common
White
Beet
hath
many
great
Leaves
next
the
ground
somwhat
large
,
and
of
a
whitish
green
colour
:
The
Stalk
is
great
,
strong
and
ribbed
,
bearing
great
store
of
leaves
upon
it
almost
to
the
very
top
of
it
:
The
flowers
grow
in
very
long
tufts
,
smal
at
the
ends
,
and
turning
down
their
Heads
,
which
are
smal
,
pale
,
greenish
,
yellow
Burrs
,
giving
cornered
prickled
Seed
.
The
Root
is
great
,
long
and
hard
,
and
when
it
hath
given
Seed
of
no
use
at
all
.
The
Common
Red
Beet
differeth
not
from
the
White
,
but
only
it
is
lesser
and
the
Leaves
and
the
Roots
are
somwhat
red
:
The
Leaves
are
differently
red
,
in
som
only
with
red
strakes
or
veins
,
som
of
a
fresh
red
,
and
others
of
a
dark
red

The
Root
hereof
is
red
,
spungy
and
not
used
to
be
eaten
.
Clens
,
Digest
,
Disury
,
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
Vertigo
,
Venemous
Beasts
.
The
White
Beet
doth
much
loosen
the
Belly
,
and
is
of
a
clensing
and
digesting
quality
,
and
provoketh
Urin
:
The
Juyce
of
it
openeth
obstructions
both
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
and
is
good
for
the
Headaches
and
swimmings
therein
,
and
turnings
of
the
Brain
;
and
is
effectual
also
against
al
venemous
creatures
:
and
applied
upon
the
Temples
,
stayeth
Inflamations
in
the
Eyes
;
it
helpeth
Burnings
being
used
without
Oyl
,
and
with
a
little
Allum
put
to
it
,
is
good
for
St
.
Anthonies
fire
.
It
is
also
good
for
al
Wheals
,
Pushes
,
Blisters
,
and
Blains
in
the
Skin
:
The
Herb
boyled
and
laid
upon
Chilblains
or
Kibes
,
helpeth
them
:
The
Decoction
therof
in
Water
and
some
Vinegar
healeth
the
Itch
,
if
bathed
therwith
,
and
clenseth
the
Head
of
Dandraf
,
Scurff
,
and

Scabs
,
and
doth
much
good
for
fretting
and

Sores
,
Ulcers
,
&
Cankers
in
the
Head
,
Legs
,
or
other
parts
,

is
good
to
stay
the
Bloody
Flux
,
Womens
Courses
,
and
the
Whites
,
and
to
help
the

Jaundice
.
The
Juyce
or
the
Root
put
into
the
Nostrils
purgeth
the
Head
,
helpeth
the
nois
in
the
Ears
,
and
the
Tooth
-
ach
;
the
Juyce
snuffed
up
the
Nose
helps
a
stinking
Breath
if
the
caus
lie
in
the
Nose

WATER
-
BETONY
.
Description
.
First
of
the
Water
-
Betony
,
which
riseth
up
with
square
hard
greenish
Stalks
,
and
somtimes
brown
,
set
with
broad
dark
green
Leavs
dented
about
the
edges
with
notches
,
somwhat
resembling
the
Leavs
of
the
Wood
-
Betony
,
but
much
larger
,
two
for
the
most
part
set
at
a
Joynt
.
The
Flowers
are
many
,
set
at
the
tops
of
the
Stalks
and
Branches
,
being
round
bellied
,
and
open
at
the
Brims
and
divided
into
two
parts
,
the
uppermost
being
like
a
Hood
,
and
the
lowest
like
a
Lip
hanging
down
,
of
a
dark
red
colour
,
which
passing
away
,
there
comes
in
their
places
smal
round
Heads
with
smal
points
in
the
ends
,
wherin
lie
smal
and
brownish
Seeds
:
The
Root
is
a
thick
Bush
of
strings
and
threds
growing
from
an
Head
.
Place
.
It
groweth
by
Ditchsides
,
Brooks
,
and
other
Water
-
courses
generally
through
this
Land
,
and
is
seldom
found
far
from
the
Waters
sides
.
Time
.
It
Flowereth
about
July
and
the
Seed
is
ripe
in
August
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
It
is
of
a
clensing
quality
;
the
Leavs
bruised
and
applied
are
effectual
for
all
old
and
filthy
Ulcers
;
and
especially
if
the
Juyce
of
the
Leavs
be
boyled
with
a
little
Honey
,
and
tents
dipped
therin
,
and
the
Sores
dressed
therwith
:
as
also
for
Bruises
or
Hurts
whether
inward
or
outward
.
The
distilled
water
of
the
Leaves
is
used
for
the
same
purposes
;
as
also
to
bath
the
Face
or
Hands
spotted
or
blemished
,
or
discolored
by
Sunburning
.
Ulcers
,
Bruises
,
Sunburning
.
I
confess
I
do
not
much
fancy
distilled
Waters
,
I
mean
such
Waters
as
are
distilled
cold
,
some
vertue
of
the
Herb
they
may
happliy
have
(
it
were
a
strange
thing
else
)
but
this
I
am
confident
of
,
that
being
distilled
in
a
Pewter
Stil
,
as
the
vulgar
and
apish
fashion
is
,
both
Chymical
Oyl
and
Salt
is
left
behind
,
unless
you
burn
them
,
and
then
all
is
spoiled
,
Water
and
al
,
which
was
good
for
as
little
as
can
be
by
such
a
Distillation
.
You
have
the
best
way
of
Distillation
in
my
Translation
of
the
London
Dispensatory

much

is
good
for
those

with
putrid
Agues

The

sting
or

or
Venemous
Serpents

Being
used
inwardly
and

to
the
place
.
A
dram
of
the
Pouder
in
Betony
taken

a
little
Honey
in
some
Vinegar
,
doth
wonderfully
refresh
those
that

The
green
Herb
bruised
,
or
the
Juyce
applied
to
any
inward
hurt
or
outward
green
Wound
in
the
Head
or
Body
wil
quickly
heal
and
close
it
up
;
as
also
any
Veins
or
Sinews
that
are
cut
;
and
will
draw
forth
any
broken
Bone
,
or
Splinter
,
Thorn
or
other
thing
gotten
into
the
Flesh
:
It
is
no
less
profitable
for
old
Sores
,
or
filthy
Ulcers
,
yea
,
though
they
be
Fistulaus
and
hollow
,
but
some
do
advise
to
put
in
a
little
Salt
to
this
purpose
:
Being
applied
with
a
little
Hogs
Lard
,
it
helpeth
a
Plague
-
Sore
,
and
other
Boyls
and
Pushes
:
The
fumes
of
the
Decoction
while
it
is
warm
received
by
a
Funnel
into
the
Ears
,
easeth
the
pains
of
them
,
destroyeth
the
Worms
,
and
cureth
the
running
Sores
in
them
.
The
Juyce
dropped
into
them
doth
the
same
.
The
Root
of
Betony
is
displeasing
both
to
the
tast
and
Stomach
,
whereas
the
Leavs
and
Flowers
by
their
sweet
and
spicy
tast
,
are
comfortable
both
in
Meat
and

There
are
some
of
the
many
Vertues
Antony
Musa
an
expert
Physitian
(
for
it
was
not
the
practice
of
Octavius
Caesar
to
keep
Fools
about
him
)
apropriates
to
Bethony
;
It
is
a
very
precious
Herb
that's
certain
,
and
most
fitting
to
be
kept
in
a
mans
hous
both
in
Syrup
,
Conserve
,
Oyl
,
Oyntment
,
and
Plaister
.
The
Flowers
are
usually
Conserved
.
The
Herb
is
apropriated
to
the
Planet
Jupiter
,
and
the
Sign
Aries
.
THE
BEECH
TREE
.
In
treating
of
this
Tree
,
you
must
understand
that
I
mean
the
great
Mast
Beech
;
which
is
by
way
of
distinction
from
that
other
smal
rough
sort
,
called
in
Sussex
,
the
small
Beech
;
but
in
Essex
,
Hornbeam
.
I
suppose
it
needless
to
describe
it
,
being
already
so
wel
known
to
my
Countrymen
.
Place
.
It
groweth
in
Woods
amongst
Oaks
,
and
other
Trees
,
and
in
Parks
,
Forrests
,
and
Chases
,
to
feed
Deer
;
and
in
other
places
to
fatten
Swine
.
Time
.
It
bloometh
in
the
end
of
April
,
or
begining
of
May
for
the
most
part
,
and
the
Fruit
is
ripe
in
September
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Leavs
of
the
Beech
-
Tree
are
cooling
and
binding
,
and
therfore
good
to
be
applied
to
hot
Swellings
to
discuss
them
:
The
Nuts
do
much
nourish
such
Beasts
as
feed
thereon
:
The
Water
that
is
found
in
the
hollow
places
of
decaying
Beeches
,
will
cure
both
Man
and
Beast
of
any
Scurf
,
Scab
,
or
running
Tetters
,
if
they
be
washed
therwith
.
You
may
boyl
the
Leavs
into
a
Pultis
,
or
make
an
Ointment
of
them
when
time
of
year
serves
.
BILBERRIES
:
Called
also
(
by
som
)
Whorts
,
and
Whortleberries
.
Descriptions
.
Of
these
I
shal
only
speak
of
two
sorts
,
which
are
commonly
known
in
England
,
Viz
.
The
Black
,
and
the
Red
Bilberries
.
And
first
of
the
Black
.
This
smal
Bush
creepeth
along
upon
the
ground
scarce
rising
half
a
yard
high
,
with
divers
smal
dark
green
Leaves
set
on
the
green
Branches
,
not
alwaies
one
against
another
,
and
a
little
dented
about
the
edges
:
At
the
foot
of
the
Leaves
com
forth
smal
,
hollow
,
pale
,
blush
coloured
Flowers
,
the
brims
ending
in
five
points
,
with
a
reddish
threed
in
the
middle
,
which
pass
into
smal
round
Berries
of
the
bigness
and
colour
of
Juniper
Berries
,
but
of
a
Purple
sweetish
sharp
tast
;
the
Juyce
of
them
giveth
a
Purplish
colour
to
their
Hands
and
Lips
that
eat
and
handle
them
,
especially
if
they
break
them
.
The
Root
groweth
asloop
under
ground
,
shooting
forth
in
sundry
places
as
it
creepeth
:
This
loseth
its
Leaves
in
Winter
.
The
Red
Bilberry
,
or
Whortle
-
bush
,
riseth
up
like
the
former
,
having
sundry
harder
Leaves
,
like
the
Box
-
Tree
Leaves
,
green
and
round
pointed
standing
on
the
several
Branches
,
at
the
tops
whereof
only
,
and
not
from
the
sides
as
in
the
former
,
com
forth
divers
round
flowers
of
a
pale
red
color
,
after
which
succeed
,
round
reddish
sappy
Berries
when
they
are
ripe
,
of
a
sharp
tast
:
The
Root
runneth
in
the
ground
,
as
the
former
;
but
the
Leaves
of
this
abide
al
Winter
.
Place
.
The
first
groweth
in
Forrests
,
on
the
Heaths
and
such
like
barren
plaaces
:
The
Red
grows
in
the
North
parts
of
this
Land
,
as
Lancashire
,
Yorkshire
,
&c
.
Time
.
They
flower
in
March
and
April
;
and
the
Fruit
of
the
Black
is
ripe
in
June
and
July
.
Vertue
and
Use
.
The
Black
Bilberries
are
good
in
hot
Agues
and
to
cool
the
heat
of
the
Liver
and
stomach
;
they
do
somwhat
bind
the
Belly
,
and
stay
Vomitings
and
Loathings
:
The
Juyce
of
the
Berries
made
into
a
Syrup
,
or
the
Pulp
made
into
a
Conserve
with
Sugar
,
is
good
for
the
purposes
aforesaid
,
as
also
for
an
old
Cough
or
an
Ulcer
in
the
Lungs
,
or
other
diseases
therein
.
The
Red
Whorts
are
more
binding
,
and
stop
Womens
Courses
,
spitting
of
Blood
,
or
any
other
Flux
of
Blood
or

Description
.
This
smal
Herb
from
a
Root
somewhat
sweet
,
shooting
downwards
many
long
strings
,
riseth
up
a
round
green
Stalk
bare
or
naked
next
the
ground
for
an
inch
,
two
or
three
to
the
middle
therof
,
as
it
is
in
age
or
growth
,
as
also
from
the
middle
upward
to
the
Flowers
,
having
only
two
broad
Plantain
-
like
Leaves
(
but
whiter
)
set
at
the
middle
of
the
Stalk
one
against
another
,
and
compasseth
it
round
at
the
bottom
of
them
.
Place
.
It
is
a
usual
Inhabitant
in
Woods
,
Copses
,
and
in
many
other
places
in
this
Land
.
There
is
another
sort
growes
in
wet
grounds
and
Marshes
,
which
is
somwhat
differing
from
the
former
:
It
is
a
smaler
Plant
,
and
greener
,
having
somtimes
three
Leaves
;
the
Spike
of
Flowers
is
less
than
the
former
,
and
the
Roots
of
this
do
run
or
creep
in
the
ground
.
They
are
much
and
often
used
by
many
to
good
purpose
for
Wounds
both
green
and
old
,
and
to
consolidate
or
knit
Ruptures
.
THE
BIRCH
-
TREE
.
Description
.
This
groweth
a
goodly
tall
straight
Tree
,
fraught
with
many
Boughes
and
slender
Branches
bending
downward
;
the
old
ones
being
covered
with
a
discoloured
chapped
Bark
,
and
the
yonger
being
browner
by
much
:
The
Leaves
at
their
first
breaking
out
are
crumpled
,
and
afterward
like
the
Beech
Leaves
,
but
smaler
and
greener
,
and
dented
about
the
edges
:
It
beareth
smal
short
Catkins
,
somwhat
like
those
of
the
Hazel
-
Nut
-
tree
,
which
abide
on
the
Branches
a
long

Vertues
and
Use
.
Both
the

al
manner
of

bleedings
or
spittings
of
Blood
,
and
any
Fluxes

upon
them
,
which

Cankers
in
the
Nose
or
any
other
part
,
if

.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Buds
,
Leavs
and
Branches
while
they
are
green
are
of
a
good
use
in
the
Ulcers
and
putrid
sores
of
the
Mouth
and
Throat
,
and
for
the
Quinsie
;
and
likewise
to
heal
other
fresh
Wounds
and
Sores
;
but
the
Flowers
&
Fruit
unripe
are
very
binding
,
and
so
profitable
for
the
Bloudy
-
flux
,
Lasks
,
and
are
a
fit
remedy
for
spitting
of
Bloud
.
Either
the
Decoction
or
Pouder
of
the
Root
being
taken
is
good
to

the
Stone
in
the
Reins

The
Leavs
and
Brambles
aswel
green
as

are
excellent
good

secret
parts
:
The
Decoction
of
them
&
of
the
dried
Branches

do
much
bind
the
Belly
,
and
are
good
for
the
too
much

,
helpeth
the
sores

Juyce
of
Mulberries
,
do
bind
more
effectually
,
and
help
fretting
and
eating
sores
and
Ulcers
whersoever
.
The
Distilled
Water
of
the
Branches
,
Leaves
and
Flowers
,
or
of
the
Fruit
,
is
very
pleasant
in
tast
,
and
very
effectual
in
Feavers
and
hot
distempers
of
the
Body
,
Head
,
Eyes
and
other

al
the

the
Head
washed
therewith
,
healeth
the
Itch
and
the
running
sores
therof
,
and

It
is

you

in
the
use
;

Reds
and
Whites
in

There
is
one
other
sort
of
wild
Blites
,
like
the
other
wild
kinds
,
but
having
long
and
spike
heads
of
greenish
Seed
,
seeming
by
the
thick
setting
together
to
be
al
Seed
.
This
sort
the
Fishes
are
delighted
with
,
and
it
is
a
good
and
usual
Bait
;
for
the
Fishes

bite

BORRAGE
&
BUGLOSS

so
wel

them
.

They
flower
in
June
and
July
,
and
the
Seed
is
ripe
shortly
after
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
They
are
very
Cordial
.
The
Leaves
or
Roots
are
to
very
good
purpose
used
in
putrid
and
Pestilential
Feavers
,
to
defend
the
Heart
,
and
help
to
resist
and
expel
the
Poyson
,
or
the
Venom
of
other
Creatures
;
the
Seed
is
of
the
like
effect
;
and
the
Seed
and
Leavs
are
good
to
encrease
Milk
in
Womens
Breasts
:
The
Leavs
,
Flowers
and
Seed
,
all
,
or
any
of
them
are
good
to
expel
Pensiveness
and
Melancholly
:
it
helpeth
to
clarifie
the
Bloud
,
and
mitigate
heat
in
Feavers
.
The
Juyce
made
into
a
Syrup
prevaileth
much
to
all
the
purposes
aforesaid
,
and
is
put
with
other
cooling
,
opening
,
clensing
Herbs
,
to
open
obstructions
,
and
help
the
yellow
-
Jaundice
,
and
mixed
with
Fumitory
,
to
cool
,
clens
,
and
temper
the
Blood
,
therby
it
helpeth
the
Itch
,
Ringworms
,
and
Tetters
,
or
other
spreading
Scabs
or
Sores
.
The
Flowers
candied
,
or
made
into
a
Conserve
are
helping
in
the
former
causes
,
but
are
chiefly
used
as
a
Cordial
,
and
is
good
for
those
that
are
weak
with
long
sickness
,
and
to
comsumptions
,
or
troubled
with
often
swoonings
or
passions
of
the
Heart
:
The
Distilled
Water
is
no
less
effectual
to
all
the
purposes
aforesaid
,
and
helpeth
the
redness
and
inflamations
of
the
Eyes
being
washed
therewith
:
The
dried
Herb
is
never
used
,
but
the
green
;
yet
the
Ashes
therof
boyled
in
Mead
,
or
Honyed
Water
is
available
against
Inflamations
and
Ulcers
in
the
Mouth
or
Throat
,
to
wash
and
gargle
it
therewith
.
The
Roots
of
Bugloss
are
effectual
being
made
into
a
licking
Electuarie
,
for
the
Cough
,
and
to
condensate
thin
flegm
,
and
Rhewmatick
Distillations

BLUEBOTTLES

These
are
so
wel
known
generally
unto
my
Country
men
to
grow
among
their
Corn
,
that
I
suppose
it
needless
to
write
any
Description
therof
:
There
are
other
kinds
which
I
purposely
omit
both
in
this
and
others
,
my
intent

only
to
insist
most
principally
upon

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Pouder
or
dried
Leavs
of
the
Bluebottle
,
or
Cornflower
is
given
with
good
success
to
those
that
are
bruised
by
a
fal
,
or
have
broken
a
Vein
inwardly
,
and
void
much
Blood
at
the
Mouth
,
being
taken
in
the
Water
of
Plantane
,
Horstail
,
or
the
greater
Comfry
.
It
is
a
Remedy
,
against
the
Poyson
of
the
Scorpion
,
and
resisteth
al
other
Venoms
and
Poysons
;
The
Seed
or
Leavs
taken
in
Wine
is
very
good
against
the
Plague
,
and
al
infectious
Diseases
,
and
is
very
good
in
Pestilential
Feavers
.
The
Juyce
put
into
fresh
or
green
Wounds
doth
quicky
soder
up
the
Lips
of
them
together
,
and
is
very
effectual
to
heal
al
Ulcers
and
Sores
in
the
Mouth
:
The
Juyce
dropped
into
the
Eyes
,
taketh
away
the
heat
and
inflamation
in
them
.
The
distilled
Water
of
the
Herb
hath
the
same
properties
,
and
may
be
used
for

BRIONY
or
WILD
VINE
.
Description
.
The
Common
white
Briony
groweth
ramping
upon
the
Hedges
,
sending
forth
many
long
rough
very
tender
branches
at
the
beginning
with
many
very
rough
broad
Leavs
theron
,
cut
(
for
the
most
part
)
into
five
partitions
,
in
form
very
like
a
Vine
Leaf
,
but
smaller
,
rougher
,
and
of
a
whitish
or
hoary
green
colour
,
spreading
very
far
,
spreading
and
twining
with
his
smal
Claspers
(
that
come
forth
at
the
Joynts
with
the
Leavs
)
very
far
on
whatsoever
standeth
next
it
:
At
the
several
Joynts
also
(
especially
towards
the
top
of
the
Branches
)
cometh
forth
a
long
Stalk
bearing
many
whitish
Flowers
,
together
in
a
long
tuft
,
consisting
of
five
smal
Leaves
apiece
,
laid
open
like
a
Star
:
after
which
come
the
Berries
,
separated
one
from
another
more
than
a
Cluster
of
Grapes
,
green
at
the
first
,
and
very
red
when
they
are
through
ripe
,
of
no
good
sent
,
but
of
a
most
loathsom
tast
provoking
Vomit
:
The
Root
groweth
to
be
exceeding
great
with
many
long
Twines
or
Branches
growing
from
it
of
a
pale
whitish
colour
on
the
outside
,
and
more
white
within
,
and
of
a
sharp
,
bitter
loathsom
tast
.
Place
.
It
groweth
on
Banks
,
or
under
Hedges
,
through
this
Land
the
Roots
lie
very
deep
.
Time
.
It
Flowereth
in
July
and
August
,
some
earlier
and
some
later
than
others
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Roots
of
the
Briony
purge
the
Belly
with
great
Violence
,
troubling
the
Stomach
,
and
hurting
the
Liver
,
and
therfore
not
rashly
to
be
taken
,
but
being
corrected
is
very
profitable
for
the
Diseases
of
the
Head
,
as
Falling
-
sickness
,
Giddiness
,
and
Swimmings
,
by
drawing
away
much
Flegm
and
Rhewmatick
humors
that
oppress
the
Head
,
as
also
the
Joynts
and
Sinews
,
and
is
therfore
good
for
Palseys
,
Convulsions
,
Cramps
,
and
Stitches
in
the
Sides
,
and
the
Dropsie
;
and
in
provoking
Urin
it
clenseth
the
Reins
and
Kidnies
from
Gravel
and
the
Stone
,
and
consumeth
the
hardness
and
swellings
therof
.
The
Decoction
of
the
Root
in
Wine
drunk
once
a
week
at
going
to
bed
,
clenseth
the
Mother
,
and
helpeth
the
rising
,
therof
,
expelleth
the
dead
Child
,
and
Afterbirth
,
but
is
not
to
be
used
by
Women
with
Child
,
for
fear
of
abortion
;
a
dram
of
the
Root
in
Pouder
taken
in
white
Wine
bringeth
down
their
Courses
.
An
Electuary
made
of
the
Roots
and
Honey
,
doth
mightily
clens
the
Chest
of
Rotten
Flegm
,
and
wonderfully
help
an
old
strong
Cough
,
those
that
are
troubled
with
shortness
of
Breath
,
and
is
very
good
for
them
that
are
brused
inwardly
,
to
help
to
expel
the
clotted
or
congealed
Blood
.
The
Leavs
,
Fruit
,
and
Root
,
do
clens
old
and
filthy
Sores
,
are
good
against
al
fretting
and
running
Cankers
,
Gangrenes
,
and
Tetters
,
and
therfore
the
Berries
are
by
some
Country
People
called
Tetter
-
Berries
.
The
Root
clenseth
the
Skin
wonderfully
from
al
black
and
blew
Spots
,
Freckles
,
Morphew
,
Leprosie
,
foul
Scars
,
or
other
deformity
whatsoever
:
as
also
al
running
Scabs
,
and
Manginess
are
healed
by
the
Pouder
of
the
dried
Root
,
or
the
Juyce
therof
,
but
especially
by
the
fine
white
hardned
Juyce
:
The
distilled
water
of
the
Roots
worketh
the
same
effects
but
more
weakly
.
The
Root
bruised
and
applied
of
it
self
to
any
place
where
the
Bones
are
broken
,
helpeth
to
draw
them
forth
,
as
also
Splinters
and
Thorns
in
the
Flesh
;
and
being
applied
with
a
little
Wine
mixed
therwith
it
breaketh
Boyls
,
and
helpeth
Whitlows
on
the
Joynts
.

For
al
these
latter
beginning
at

apply
it
outwardly
and
take
my
advice
along
with
you
,
you
shal
find
in
my
Translation
of
the
London
Dispensatory
,
among
the
Preparations
at

end
,
a
Medicin
called
Focculae
Brioniae
,
take
that
and
use
it
,
you
have
the
way
there
how
to
make
it
,
and
mix
that
with
a
little
Hogs
Greas
or
other
convenient
Oyntment

use
it
at
your
need

As
for
the
former
Diseases
where
it
must
be
taken
inwardly
,
it
purgeth
very
Violently
,
and
needs
an
abler
hand
to
correct
it
than
most
Country
people
have
,
therfore
it
is
a
better
way
for
them
(
in
my
opinion
)
to
let
the
Simple
alone
,
and
take
the
Compound
Water
of
it
,
mentioned
in
my
Dispensatory
,
and
that
is
far
more
safe
,
being
wisely
corrected
.
BROOKLIME

generally
used
together
in
Diet
Drinks
with
other
things
,
serving
to
purge
the
Blood
and

from
ill
Humors
that
would
destroy
health
,
and
are
helpful
for
the
Scurvy

They
do
also
provoke
Urin
,

help
to
break
the
Stone
and
pass
it
away
;
they
procure
Womens

from
the
Roots
of

This

is
an
excellent
remedy
for
the
biting
of
the
Viper

Adder
which
I
take
to
be
one

The

This

is
belonging
to
Dame

and
if
the
Vertues
of
it
make
you
in
love
with
it
,
(
as
they
wil
if
you
be
wise
)
keep
a
Syrup
of
it
to
take
inwardly
,
and
an
Ointment
and
Plaister
of
it
to
use
outwardly
alwaies
by
you
.
The
truth
is
I
have
known
this
Herb
cure
some
Diseases
of
Saturn
,
of
which
I
thought
good
to
quote
one
.
Many
times
such
as
give
themselvs
much
to
drinking
are
troubled
with
strange
Fancies
,
strange
sights
in
the
night
-
time
,
and
some
with
Voices
,
as
also
with
the
Diseas
Ephialtes
or
the
Mare
.
I
take
the
reason
of
this
to
be
(
according
to
Fernelius
)
a
Melancholly
vapor
made
thin
by
excessive
drinking
strong
Liquor
,
and
so
flys
up
and
disturbs
the
Fancy
,
and
breeds
imaginations
like
it
self
,
viz
.
fearful
and
troublesom
:
These
I
have
known
cured
by
taking
only
two
spoonfuls
of
the
Syrup
of
this
Herb
,
after
Supper
two
hours
when
you
go
to
bed
.
But
whether
this
do
it
by
Sympathy
or
Antipathy
is
som
question
;
all
that
know
any
thing
in
Astrologie
,
know
that
there
is
a
great
Antipathy
between
Saturn
and
Venus
in
matter
of
Procreation
,
yea
such
an
one
,
that
the
barreness
of
Saturn
can
be
removed
by
none
but
Venus
,
nor
the
lust
of
Venus
be
repelled
by
none
but
Saturn
:
but
I
am
not
yet
of
opinion
this
is
done
this
way
;
and
my
reason
is
because
these
vapors
though
in
quality
Melancholly
,
yet
by
their
flying
upward
seem
to
be
somthing
Aeriel
,
therfore
I
rather
think
it
is
done
by
Sympathy
,
Saturn
being
exalted
in
Libra
the
house
of
Venus
.
Mares
,
Strange
Sights
in

.
Selfheal
,
which
follows
,
is
of
the
same
nature
,
and
I
am
of
opinion
the
same
Herb
,
only
differs
a
little
in
form
according
to
the
difference
of
place
they
grow
in
;
this
I
am
sure
they
work
the
same
effect
.
BURNET

Description

The

winged
Leavs
rising
from
the

not
so

the
other
,
and
nicked
in
the

the
edges

They
are
accounted
to
be
both
of

the

It

Two

three
of
the
Stalks

a
Cup
of
Wine
,
especially
Clarret
,
are
known
to
quicken
the
Spirits

refresh

is
a

,
little
inferior
to
Betony
:
The

it
preservs

of

have
abidden
a
month
above

,
wil
be
withered

gone
,
blown
away
with
the
wind
;
and
the
Leaves
will
begin
to
spring
,
which
being
full
grown
are
very
large
&
broad
,
being
somwhat
thin
and
almost
round
,
whose
thick
red
footstalks
,
about
a
foot
long
stand
towards
the
middle
of
the
Leavs
:
The
lower
parts
being
divided
into
two
round
parts
,
close
almost
one
to
another
,
and
of
a
pale
green
colour

is
long

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Roots
hereof
are
by
long
experience
found
to
be
very
available
against
the
Plague
and
Pestilential
Feavers
,
by
provoking
Sweat
,
if
the
Pouder
therof
be
taken
in
Wine
,
it
also
resisteth
the
force
of
any
other
Poyson
.
The
Root
hereof
taken
with
Zedoary
and
Angelica
,
or
without
them
,
helps
the
rising
of
the
Mother
:
The
Decoction
of
the
Root
in
Wine
is
singular
good
for
those
that
wheeze
much
,
or
are
short
-
winded
.
It
provoketh
Urin
also
and
Womens
courses
,
and
killeth
the
flat
and
broad
Worms
in
the
Belly
.
The
Pouder
of
the
Root
doth
wonderfully
help
to
dry
up
the
moisture
of
sores
that
are
hard
to
be
cured
,
and
taketh
away
all
spots
and

THE

It
is
so
well
known
even
to
the
little
Boys
who
pul
off

stick
upon

another
,
that
I

.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Bur
Leavs
are
cooling
,
moderatly
drying
,
and
discussing
withal
,
whereby
it
is
good
for
old
Ulcers
and
Sores
:
A
dram
of
the
Roots
taken
with
Pine
Kernels
,
helpeth
them
that
spit
foul
,
mattery
,
and
bloudy
Flegm
:
The
Leavs
applied
on
the
places
troubled
with
the
shrinking
of
the
Sinews
or
Arteries
,
give
much
ease
:
The
Juyce
of
the
Leavs
,
or
rather
the
Roots
themselvs
given
to
drink
with
old
Wine
doth
wonderfully
help
the
bitings
of
any
Serpents
:
And
the
Root
beaten
with
a
little
Salt
and
laid
on
the
place
,
suddenly
easeth
the
pain
thereof
,
and
helpeth
those
that
are
bit
with
a
mad
-
Dog
.
The
Juyce
of
the
Leavs
taken
with
Honey
provoketh
Urin
,
and
remedieth
the
pain
of
the
Bladder
.
The
Seed
being
drunk
in
Wine
forty
daies
together
,
doth
wonderfully
help
the
Sciatica
.
The
Leavs
bruised
with
the
White
of
an
Egg
and
applied
to
any
place
burnt
with
Fire
,
taketh
out
the
Fire
,
gives
sudden
ease
,
and
heals
it
up
afterwards
.
The
Decoction
of
them
fomented
on
any
fretting
sore
or
Canker
stayeth
the
corroding
quality
,
which
must
be
afterwards
anointed
with
an
Ointment
made
of
the
same
Liquor
,
Hogs
-
Greas
,
Nitre
and
Vinegar
,
boyled
together
.
The
Roots
may
be
preserved
with
Sugar
,
and
taken
fasting
,
or
at
other
times
for
the
said
purposes
,
and
for
Consumptions
,
the
Ston
,
and
the
Lask
.
The
Seed
is
much
commended
to
break
the
Stone
and
cause
it
to
be
expelled
by
Urin
;
and
is
often
used
with
other
Seeds
and

Or
if

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Cabbages
or
Coleworts
boyled
gently
in
Broth
and
eaten
do
open
the
Body
,
but
the
second
Decoction
doth
bind
the
Body
.
The
Juyce
therof
drunk
in
Wine
helpeth
those
that
are
bitten
by
an
Adder
,
and
the
Decoction
of
the
Flowers
bringeth
down
Womens
Courses
.
Being
taken
with
Honey
,
it
recovereth
hoarsness
or
loss
of
the
voice
.
The
often
eating
of
them
wel
boyled
,
helpeth
those
that
are
entring
into
a
Consumption
.
The
Pulp
of
the
middle
Ribs
of
Coleworts
boyled
in
Almond
Milk
,
and
made
up
into
an
Electuary
with
Honey
,
being
taken
often
,
is
very
profitable
for
those
that
are
pursie
and
short
-
winded
.
Being
boyled
twice
,
and
a
old
Cock
boyled
in
the
Broth
and
drunk
,
it
helpeth
the
pains
and
obstructions
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
and
the
Stone
in
the
Kidnies
.
The
Juyce
boyled
with
Honey
and
dropped
into
the
corner
of
the
Eye
,
cleareth
the
sight
,
by
consuming
any
Film
or
cloud
begining
to
dim
it
;
it
also
consumeth
the
Canker
growing
therin
.
They
are
much
commended
being
eaten
before
meat
,
to
keep
one
from
surfetting
,
as
also
from
being
drunk
with
too
much
Wine
,
or
quickly
make
a
man
sober
again
that
is
drunk
before
.
For
(
as
they
say
)
there
is
such
an
Antipathy
or
enmity
between
the
Vine
and
the
Colewort
,
that
the
one
will
die
where
the
other
groweth
.
The
Decoction
of
Colworts
taketh
away
the
pain
and
ach
,
and
allayeth
the
swellings
of
swoln
and
gouty
Legs
and
Knees
,
wherein
many
gross
and
watry
humors
are
fallen
,
the
place
being
bathed
therwith
warm
:
It
helpeth
also
old
and
filthy
sores
,
being
washed
therewith
,
and
healeth
all
smal
Scabs
,
Pushes
and
Wheals
that
break
out
in
the
Skin
.
The
Ashes
of
Colwort
Stalks
mixed

very
effectual
to

commend
the

made

,
taken
inwardly
,
to
be
excellent
for
the
Spleen

Also
this
is
certain
,
that
it
most

breaks

some
take
it
in
Syrup

Decoction
,
others
inject
the
Juyce
of
it
into
the

my
Opinion
is
,
That
the
Salt
of
it
taken
half
a
dram
in
a
morning
,
in
a
little
White
or
Rhenish
Wine
is
better
than
either
,
that
it
is
excellent
for
the
Stone

by
this
,
which
I
have
seen
tried
,
viz
.
That
a
Stone
that
hath
been
taken
out
of
the
Body
of
a
man
being
wrapped
in
Chamomel
will
in
time
dissolve
,

in
a
little
time
too

CAMPIONS
WILD
.
Description
.
The
white
wild
Campion
hath
many
long
and
somwhat
broad
dark
green
Leavs
,
lying
upon
the
ground
with
divers
Ribs
therin
somwhat
like
Plantane
,
but
somwhat
hairy
,
broader
,
and
not
so
long
:
The
hairy
Stalks
rise
up
in
the
middle
of
them
three
of
four
foot
high
,
and
somtimes
more
,
with
divers
great
white
Joynts
at
several
places
theron
,
and
two
such
like
Leavs
therat
up
to
the
top
,
sending
forth
Branches
at
the
several
Joynts
also
al
which
bear
on
several
Footstalks
white
Flowers
at
the
tops
of
them
,
consisting
of
five
broad
pointed
Leavs
,
every
one
cut
in
on
the
end
unto
the
middle
,
making
them
seem
to
be
two
apiece
,
smelling
somwhat
sweet
,
and
each
of
them
standing
in
large
green
striped
hairy
Husks
,
large
and
round
below
next
to
the
Stalk
:
The
Seed
is
smal
and
grayish
in
the
hard
Heads
that
come
up
afterwards
:
The
Root
is
white
and
long
,
spreading
divers
fangs
in
the
ground
.
The
Red
Wild
Campion
groweth
in
the
same
manner
as
the
White
,
but
his
Leavs
are
not
so
plainly
ribbed
,
somewhat
shorter
,
rounder
and
more
woolly
in
handling
:
The
Flowers
are
of
the
same
form
and
bigness
,
but
in
som
of
a
pale
,
in
others
of
a
bright
red
colour
,
cut
in
at
ends
more
finely
,
which
maketh
the
Leavs
seem
more
in
number
than
the
other
.
The
Seed
and
the
Roots
are
alike
:
The
Roots
of
both
sorts
abiding
many
years
.
There
are
forty
five
kinds
of
Campions
more
,
those
of
them
which
are
of
Physical
uses
having
the
like
Vertues
with
these
above
described
,
which
I
take
to
be
the
two
chiefest
kinds
.

They
grow
commonly

Fields

flower
in

som
earlier
than

and
some
abiding

.
Vertues
and
Use
.
It
is
found
by
experience
that
the
Decoction
of
the
Herb
either
the
White
or
Red
being
drunk
,
doth
stay
inward
bleedings
;
and
applied
outwardly
it
doth
the
like
:
And
being
drunk
helpeth
to
expel
the
Urin
being
stop'd
,
and
Gravel
or
the
Stone
in
the
Reins
or
Kidnies
.
Two
drams
of
the
Seed
drunk
in
Wine
,
purgeth
the
Body
of
Chollerick
humors
,
and
helpeth
those
that
are
stung
by
Scorpions
,
or
other
venemous
Beasts
;
and
may
be
as
effectual
for
the
Plague
:
It
is
of
very
good
use
in
old
Sores
,
Ulcers
,
Cankers
,
Fistulaes
and
the
like
,
to
clens
and
heal
them
,
by
consuming
the
moist
humors
falling
into
them
,
and
correcting
the
putrifaction
of
Humors
offending

The
Garden
kind
are
so
wel
known
that
they
need
no
Description
;
but
because
they
are
of
less
Physical
use
than
the
Wild
kind
(
as
indeed
almost
in
all
Herbs
the
Wild
are
most
effectual
in
Physick
,
as
being
more
powerful
in
operation
then
the
Garden
kinds
)
I
shal
therfore
briefly
describe
the
Wild
Carrot
.
Description
.
It
groweth
in
a
manner
altogether
like
the
Tame
,
but
that
the
Leavs
and
Stalks
are
somwhat
whiter
and
rougher
:
The
Stalks
bear
large
tufts
of
white
Flowers
,
with
deep
Purple
spot
in
the
middle
,
which
are
contracted
together
when
the
Seed
begins
to
ripen
,
that
the
middle
part
being
hollow
and
low
,
and
the
outer
Stalks
rising
high
,
maketh
the
whol
Umbel
to
shew
like
a
Birds
-
Nest
.
The
Root
is
smal
,
long
,
and
hard
,
unfit
for
meat
,
being
somwhat
sharp
and
strong
.
Place
.
The
Wild
kind
groweth
in
divers
parts
of
this
Land
plentifully
by
the
Fields

,
and
in
untilled
places
.

The

The
Wild
kind

breaketh
Wind

removeth
Stitches
in
the
Sides
,
provoketh
Urin
and
Womens
Courses
,
and
helpeth
to
break

expel
the
Stone
:
The
Seed
also
of
the
same
worketh
the
like
effect
,
and
is
good
for
the
Dropsie
,
and
those
whose

I
suppose
the
Seeds
of
them
perform
this
better
than
the
Roots
;
And
though
Galen
commend
Garden
Carrots
highly
,
to
break
Wind
;
yet
experience
teacheth
that
they
breed
it
first
;
and
we
may
thank
Nature
for
expelling
it
,
not
they
:
The
Seeds
of
them
expel
Wind
indeed
,
and
so
mend
what
the
Root
marreth

openeth
Obstructions

and
the
often

the
Itch
,
and
those
that
have
old
Sores
in
their
Legs
,
or
other
parts

the
Body
.
The
Juyce
thereof
taken
fasting
,
is
held
to
be
of
singular
good
use
against
the
Pestilence
:
The
distilled
Water
,
with
a
little
sugar

and
a
little
good
Triacle
mixed
therwith
(
the
party
upon
the
taking

laid
down
to
sweat

hath
the
same
effect

The
Juyce
dropped
into
the
Eyes
clenseth
them
from
Films

the
Cloudiness

darken

it
is
best
to
allay
the
sharpnes
of
the
Juyce
with
a
little
Breast

It
is
good
in
old
filthy
corroding

Ulcers

,
to
stay
their
malignity
of
fretting
and
running
,
and
to
cause
them
to
heal
the
more
speedily
:
The
Juyce
often
applied
to
Tetters
,
Ringworms
,
or
other
such
like
spreading
Cancers
,
will
quickly
heal
them
,
and
rubbed

The

The

This

Sun

under

Coelestial
Lyon

is
one
of
the
best
cures
for
the
Eyes
that
is
.
Al
that
know
any
thing
in
Astrologie
,
know
as
wel
as
I
can
tel
them
,
That
the
Eyes
are
subject
to
the
Luminaries
;
let
it
then
be
gathered
when
the
Sun
is
in
Leo
,
and
the
Moon
in
Aries
applying
to
his
Trine
;
let
Leo
arise
,
then
may
you
make
it
into
an
Oyl
or
Oyntment
which
you
please
to
anoint
your
sore
Eyes
withal
:
I
can
prove
it
both
by
my
own
experience
,
and
the
experience
of
those
to
whom
I
have
taught
it
,
That
most
desperat
sore
Eyes
have
been
cured
by
this
only
Medicine
;
And
then
I
pray
,
is
not
this
farbetter
than
endangering
the
Eyes
by
the
art
of
the
Needle
?
for
if
this
do
not
absolutly
take
away
the
Film
,
it
wil
so
facilitate
the
work
that
it
may
be
don
wihout
danger
.
Another
il
-
favored
trick
have
Physitians
got
to
use
to
the
Eye
,
and
that
is
worse
than
the
Needle
;
which
is
,
To
eat
away
the
Film
by
corroding
or
gnawing
Medicines
.
This
I
absolutly
protest
against
.

.
Because
the
Tunicles
of
the
Eye
are
very
thin
,
and
therfore
soon
eaten

The
Callus
or
Film
that
they
would
eat
away
is
seldom
of
an
equal
thickness
in
every
place
,
and
then
the
Tunicle
may
be
eaten
asunder
in
one
place
,
before
the
Film
be
consumed
in
another
,
and
so
be
a
readier
way
to
extinguish
the
sight
than
to
restore
it
.
It
is
called
Chelidonium
from
the
Greek
word
***
which
sigifies
a
Swallow
,
because
they
say
,
That
if
you
prick
out
the
Eyes
of
yong
Swallows
when
they
are
in
the
Nest
,
the
old
ones
wil
recover
their
Eyes
again
with
this
Herb
.
This
I
am
confident
,
for
I
have
tried
it
,
That
if
you
mar
the
very
Apple
of
their
Eyes
with
a
Needle
,
she
wil
recover
them
again
,
but
whether
with
this
Herb
or
no
I
know
not
.
Also
I
have
read
(
and
it
seems
to
be
somwhat
probable
)
That
the
Herb
being
gathered
as
I
shewed
before
,
and
the
Elements
drawn
apart
from
it
by
the
art
of
the
Alchymist
,
and
after
they
are
drawn
apart
,
rectified
,
the
earthy
quality
still
in
rectifying
them
,
added
to
the
Terra
damnata
(
as
Alchymists
call
it
)
or
Terra
sacratissima
(
as
som
Phylosophers
call
it
)
the
Elements
so
rectified
are
sufficient
for
the
Cure
of
al
Diseases
,
the
humor
offending
being
known
and
the
contrary
Element
given
,
It
is
an
Experience
wurth
the
trying
,
and
can
do
no
harm
.
THE
LESSER
CELONDINE
usually
known
by
the
Name
of
PILEWORT
.
I
wonder
what
ailed
the
Antients
to
give
this
the
name
of
Celandine
which
resembles
it
neither
in
Nature
nor
form
:
It
acquired
the
Name
of
Pilewort
from
its
Vertues
,
and
it
being
no
great
matter
where
I
set
it
down
,
so
I
do
set
it
down
at
al
,
I
humor'd

so
much
as
to
set
it
down
here
.
Description
.
This
Celandine
then
or
Pilewort
(
which
you
please
)
doth
spread
many
round
,
pale
,
green
Leavs
set
on
weak
and
trailing
Branches
which
lie
upon
the
ground
,
and
are
fat
,
smooth
,
and
somwhat
shining
,
and
in
some
places
(
though
seldom
)
marked
with
black
spots
,
each
standing
on
a
long
Footstalk
among
which
rise
smal
yellow
Flowers
,
consisting
of
nine
or
ten
smal
narrow
Leavs
,
upon
slender
Footstalks
very
like
unto
a
Crowfoot
,
wherunto
the
Seed
also
is
not
unlike
,
being
many
smal
ones
set
together
upon
a
Head
.
The
root
is
made
of
many
smal
Kernels
like
grain
of
Corn
,
some
twice
as
long
as
others
,
of
a
whitish
colour
with
some
Fibres
at
the
end
of
them
.
Place

It
groweth
for
the
most
part
in
the
moist
corners
of
Fields
,
and
places
that
are
neer

,
yet

Flowereth
betimes
about
March
or
April
,
is
quite
gone
in
May
,
so
as
it
cannot
be
found
until
it
spring
again
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
It
is
certain
by
good
experience
that
the
Decoction
of
the
Leavs
and
Roots
,
doth
wonderfully
help
the
Piles
and
Hemorrhoids
as
also
Kernels
by
the
Ears
and
Throat
called
the
Kings
evil
;
or
any
other
hard
Wens
or
Tumors
.
Here's
another
Secret
for
my
Country
Men
and
Women
,
a
couple
of
them
together
,
Pilewort
being
made
into
an
Oyl
Oyntment
or
Plaister
readily
cures
both
the
Piles
or
Hemorrhoids
,
and
the
Kings
Evil
,
If
I
may
Lawfully
cal
it
the
Kings
Evil
now
there
is
no
King
,
the
very
Herb
born
about
ones
Body
next
the
Skin
,
helps
in
such
Diseases
,
though
it
never
touch
the
place
grieved
,
let
good
people
make
much
of
it
for
these
uses
,
with
this
I
cured
my
own
Daughter
of
the
Kings
Evil
,
broke
the
Sore
,
drew
out
a
quarter
of
a
pint
of
Corruption

and
cured
it
without

Scar
at
all

THE
ORDINARY
SMALL
CENTAURY
Description

up
most
usually

,
is
good

is
a
wonderful
good
help
against

THE
CHERRY
-
TREE

I
suppose
there
are

know
this

sake

therfore
shal
spare
the
writing

Orchard
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
Cherries
,
as
they
are
of
different
tasts
,
so
they
are
of
divers
qualities
:
The
sweet
pass
through
the
Stomach
and
Belly
more
speedily
,
but
are
of
little
Nourishment
.
The
tart
or
sowr
,
are
more
pleasing
to
an
hot
Stomach
,
procuring
appetite
to
meat
,
and
help
to
cut
tough
Flegm
and
gross
humors
;
but
when
these
are
dryed
they
are
more
binding
the
belly
than
when
they
are
fresh
,
being
cooling
in
hot
Diseases
,
and
welcom
to
the
Stomach
,
and
provoke
Urin
.
The
Gum
of

Cherry
-
Tree

WINTER
CHERRIES
.
Description
.
The
Winter
Cherry
hath
a
running
or
creeping
Root
in
the
ground
of
the
bigness
many
times
of
ones
little
Finger
,
shooting
forth
at
several
Joynts
ins
everal
places
,
wherby
it
quickly
spreadeth
a
great
compass
of
ground
:
The
Stalk
riseth
not
above
a
yard
high
,
wheron
are
set
many
broad
,
and
long
green
Leavs
,
somwhat
like
Nightshade
but
larger
,
at
the
Joynts
wherof
come
forth
whitish
Flowers
made
of
five
Leavs
apiece
;
which
after
turn
into
green
Berries
,
inclosed
with
thin
Skins
,
which
change
to
be
reddish
,
when
they
grow
ripe
,
the
Berry
likewise
being
reddish
,
and
as
large
as
a
Cherry
,
wherein
are
contained
many
flat
and
yellowish
Seeds
lying
within
the
pulp
;
which
being
gathered
and
strung
up
are
kept
all
the
yeer
to
be
used
upon
occasion
.
Place
.
They
grow
not
naturally
in
this
Land
,
but
are
cherished
in
Gardens
for
their
Vertues
.
Time
.
They
Flower
not
until
the
middle
or
latter
end
of
July
,
and
the
Fruit
is
ripe
about
the
end
of
August
,
or
beginning
of
September
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
They
are
of
great
use
in
Physick
:
The
Leavs
being
cooling
may
be
used
in
Inflamations
,
but
not
opening
,
as
the
Berries
and
Fruit
are
,
which
by
drawing
down
the
Urine
provoke
it
to
be
avoided
plentifully
when
it
is
stopped
or
grown
hot
,
sharp
,
and
painful
in
the
passage
;
it
is
good
also
to
expel
the
Stone
and
Gravel
out
of
the
Reins
,
Kidnies
,
and
Bladder
,
helping
to
dissolve
the
Stone
,
and
avoiding
it
by
greet
or
gravel
sent
forth
in
the
Urin
;
It
also
helpeth
much
to
clens
inward
Impostumes
or
Ulcers
in
the
Reins
or
Bladder
,
or
in
those
that
avoid
a
Bloody
or
foul
Urin
.
The
distilled
Water
of
the
Fruit
,
or
the
Leavs
together
with
them
,
or
the
Berries
green
or
dry
,
distilled
with
a
little
Milk
,
and
drunk
morning
and
evening
with
a
little
Sugar
,
is
effectual
to
al
the
purposes
afore
specified
,
and
especially
against
the
heat
and
sharpness
of
the
Urin
.
I
shal
only
mention
one
way
amongst
many
others
which
might
be
used
for
ordering
the
Berries
to
be
helpful
for
the
Urin
and
the
Stone
,
which
is
thus
.
Take
three
or
four
good
handfuls
of
the
Berries
either
green
and
fresh
,
or
dried
and
having
bruised
them
,
put
them
into
so
many
Gallons
of
Beer
or
Ale
when
it
is
new
tunned
up
:
This
Drink
taken
daily
hath
been
found
to
do
much
good
to
many
,
both
to
eas
the
pains
and
expel
Urin
,
and
the
Stone
;
and
to
caus
the
Stone
not
to
ingender
.
The
Decoction
of
the
Berries
in
Wine
or
Water
is
the
most
usual
way
;
but
the
Pouder
of
them
taken
in
drink
is
more
effectual

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Garden
Chervil
being
eaten
,
doth
moderately
warm
the
Stomach
,
and
is
a
certain

being
sown
later
than
Peas
,
and
gathered
at
the
same
time
with
them
,
or
presently
after
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
They
are
no
less
windy
than
Beans
,
but
nourish
more
,
they
provoke
Urine
,
and
are
thought
to
encreas
Sperm
,
they
have
a
clensing
faculty
,
wherby
they
break
the
Stones
in
the
Kidneys
.
To
drink
the
cream
of
them
being
boyled
in
Water
is
the
best
way
;
it
moveth
the
Belly
downwards
,
provoketh
Womens
Courses
,
and
Urin
,
and
encreaseth
both
Milk
and
Seed
.
One
ounce
of
Cicers
,
two
ounces
of
French
Barley
,
and
a
smal
handful
of
Marsh
-
Mallow
Roots
,
clean
washed
and
cut
,
being
boyled
in
the
broth
of
a
Chicken
,
and
four
ounces
taken
in
the
morning
and
fasting
two
hours
after
is
a
good
Medicine
for
a
pain
in
the
Side
.
The
white
Cicers
are
used
more
for
Meat
than
Medicine
,
yet
have
they
the
same
effect
,
and
are
thought
more
powerful
to
encrease
Milk

The
wild
Cicers
are
so
much
more
powerful
than
the
Garden
kinds
,
by
how
much
they
exceed
them
in
heat
and
driness
;
whereby
they
do
more
open
Obstructions
,
break
the
Stone
,
and
have
al
the
properties
of
cutting
,
opening
,
digesting

,
and
this
more
speedily
,
and
certainly
than
the
former

This
is
an
Herb
of
Jupiter
,
and
therfore
strengthens
the
parts
of
the
Body
that
he
rules
,
let
Jupiter
be
angular
and
strong
when
it
is
gathered
,
and
if
you
give
but
a
scruple
(
which
is
but
twenty
grains
of
it
)
at
a
time
,
either
in
white
Wine
,
or
white
Wine

,
you
shal
very
seldom
miss
the
cure
of
an
Ague
be
it
what
Ague
soever
in
three
Fits
,
as
I
have
often
proved
to
the
admiration
both
of
my
self
and
others
,
let
no
Man
despise
it
becaus
it
is
plain
and
easie
,
the
waies
of
God
are
all
such
,
'tis
the
ungodliness
and
impudencey
of
Man
that
made
things
hard
,
and
hath
(
by
so
doing
)
made
sport
for
al
the
Devils
in
Hell
,
and
grieved
the
good
Angels
,
and
when
you
reade
this
your
own
Genius
if
you
be
any
thing
at
al
acquainted
with
it
,
may
dictate
to
you
many
as
good
Conclusions
both
of
this
and
other
Herbs
.
Some
hold
that
one
Leaf
cures
a
Quotidian
,
three
a
Tertian
,
and
four
a
Quartan
Ague
,
and
a
hundred
to
one
if
it
be
not
Dioscorides
,
for
he
is
ful
of
such
Whimseys
.
The
truth
is
I
never
stood
so
much
upon
the
number
of
the
Leavs
,
nor
whether
I
gave
it
in
Pouder
or
Decoction
:
If
Jupiter
were
strong
and
the
Moon
applying
to
him
or
his
good
aspect
at
the
gathering
of
it
,
I
never
knew
it
miss
the
desired
effects
.

It
is
an
usual
cours
with
Men
when
they
have
gotten
the
running
of
the
Reins
,
or
Women
the
Whites
,
then
run
to
the
bush
of
Clary
;
Maid
bring
hither
the
Frying
Pan
,
fetch
me
some
Butter
quickly
,
then
to
eating
fryed
Clary
,
just
as
Hogs
eat
Acorns
,
and
thus
they
think
wil
cure
their
Disease
(
forsooth
)
wheras
when
they
have
devoured
as
much
Clary
as
wil
grow
upon
an
Acre
of
ground
,
their
Backs
are
as
much
the
better
as
though
they
had
pissed
in
their
shoos
,
nay
perhaps
much
wors
.
As
for
the
trick
of
curing
the
Eyes
by
it
I
can
as
yet
say
nothing
to
it

the
rest
it
may
be
effectual

We
will
grant
that
Clary
strengthens
the
Back
,

this
we
deny
,
That
the
caus
of
the
running
of
the
Reins
in
Men
,
or
the
Whites
in
Women
lies
in
the
Back
(
though
the
Back
may
somtimes
be
weakned
by
them
)
and
therfore
the
Medicine
is
as
proper
,
as
for
me
when
my
Toe
is
sore
,
to
lay
a
Plaister
to
my
Nose

there
do
shew
two
smal

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Juyce
of
the
Herb
,
and

together
taken
in
Wine
,
helpeth
those
that
are
bitten
with
an
Adder
,
by
preserving
the
Heart
from

Venom
;
It
is
familiarly
taken
in
Broth
to
keep
them
lean
and
lank
that
are
apt
to
grow
fat
.
The
distilled
Water
drunk
twice
a
day
helpeth
the
yellow
Jaundice
,
and
the
Decoction
of
the
Herb
in
experience
found
to
do
the
same
,
and
stayeth
Lasks
and
Bloody
Fluxes
.
The
Juyce
of
the
Leavs
,
or
they
a
little

,
stayeth

Bleeding
.
The
Juyce
is
also
very
good
to
close
up
the
Lips
of
green
Wounds
;
and
the
Pouder
of
the
dried
Herb
strewed
therupon
doth
the
same
,
and
likewise
helpeth
old
Ulcers
:
Being
boyled
with
Hogs
Greas
,
it
healeth
al
sorts
of
hard
Swellings
or
Kernels
in
the
Throat
,
being
anointed

allay
the
sharpness
of
Humors
.
A
Decoction
of
the
Leavs
herof
is
available
to
all
the
purposes
,
though
not
so
effectual
as
of
the
Roots
.
The
Roots
being
outwardly
applied
,
helpeth
fresh
Wounds
or
Cuts
immediatly
,
being
bruised
and
laid
therunto
;
and
is
especial
good
for
Ruptures
and
broken
Bones
:
yea
it
is
said
to
be
so
powerful
to
consolidate
and
Knit
together
;
that
if
they
be
boyled
with
dissevered
pieces
of
Flesh
in
a
pot
it
will
joyn
them
together
again
.
It
is
good
to
be
applied
to
Womens
Breasts
that
grow
sore
by
the
abundance
of
Milk
coming
into
them
:
as
also
to
repress
the
overmuch
bleeding
of
the
Hemorrhoids
to
cool
the
Inflamation
of
the
parts
therabouts
,
and
to
give
eas
of
pains
.
The
Roots
of
Comfry
taken
fresh
,
beaten
smal
,
and
spread
upon
Leather
,
and
laid
upon
any
place
troubled
with
the
Gout
,
do
presently
give
eas
of
the
pains
;
and
applied
in
the
same
manner
giveth
eas
to
pained
Joynts
and
profiteth
very
much
from
running
and
moist
Ulcers
;
Gangrenes
,

,

for
which
it
hath
by

COSTMARY
,
or
ALECOST
.
This
is
so
frequently
known
to
be
an
Inhabitant
in
almost
every
garden
,
that
I
suppose
it
needless
to
write
a
Description
therof
.
Time
.
It
Flowreth
in

and

.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
ordinary
Costmary
as
well
as
Maudlin
,
provoketh
Urin
abundantly
,
and
moistneth
the
hardness
of
the
Mother
;
It
gently
purgeth
Choller
and
Flegm
,
extenuating
that
which
is
gross
,
and
cutting
that
which
is
tough
and
gluttenous
clenseth
that
which
is
foul
,
and
hindreth
putrefaction
and
corruption
,
it
dissolveth
without
Attraction
,
openeth
Obstructions
,
and
healeth
their
evil
effect
,
and
is
a
wonderful
help
to
al
sorts
of
day
Agues
.
It
is
astringent
to
the
Stomach
,
and
strengtheneth
the
Liver
and
al
the
other
inward
parts
and
taken
in
Whey
worketh
the
more
effectually
.
Taken
fasting
in
the
morning
,
it
is
very
profitable
for
the
pains
in
the
Head
that
are
continual
,
and
to
stay
,
dry
up
,
and
consume
all
thin
Rhewms
,
or
distillations
from
the
Head
into
the
Stomach
,
and
helpeth
much
to
digest
raw
humors
that
are
gathered
therein
.
It
is
very
profitable
for
those
that
are
fallen
into
a
continual
evil
disposition
of
the
whol
Body
called
Cachexia
,
being
taken
especially
in
the
beginning
of
the
Diseas
:
It
is
an
especial
friend
and
help
to
evil
,
weak
,
and
cold
Livers
.
The
Seed
is
familiarly
given
to
Children
for
the
Worms
,
and
so
is
the
infusion
of
the
Flowers
in
white
Wine
,
given
them
to
the
Quantity
of
two
ounces
at
a
time
:
It
maketh
an
excellent
Salve
to

and
heal
old
Ulcers
,
being
boyled
with
Oyl
Olive
,
and
Adders
Tongue
with
it
:
and
after
it

Description
.
The
common
Cudweed
riseth
up
but
with
one
Stalk
somtime
,
and
somtimes
with
two
or
three
,
thick
set
on
all
sides
with
small
long
,
and
narrow
whitish
or
wooly
Leavs
from
the
middle
of
the
Stalk
almost
up
to
the
top
;
with
every
Leaf
standeth
a
smal
Flower
,
of
a
dun
or
brownish
yellow
colour
,
or
not
so
yellow
as
others
;
in
which
Heads
after
the
Flowers
are
fallen
come
smal
Seed
wrapped
up
with
the
down
therin
and
is
carried
away
with
the
Wind
.
The
Root
is
small
and
threddy
.
There
are
other
sorts
hereof
,
which
are
somwhat
lesser
than
the
former
,
not
much
different
,
save
only
that
as
the
Stalk
and
Leavs
are
shorter
,
so
the
Flowers
are
paler
,
and
more
open
.
Place
.
They
grow
in
dry

barren
,
sandy
,
and

They
Flower
about

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Plants
are
all
stringent
,
or
binding
and
drying
,
and
therfore
profitable
for
Defluxions
of
Rhewm
from
the
Head
,
and
to
stay
Fluxes
,
of
Blood
whersoever
.
The
Decoction
being
made
into
red
Wine
and
drunk
,
or
the
Pouder
taken
therin
;
it
also
helpeth
the
Bloody
Flux
,
and
easeth
the
torments
that
come
therby
,
stayeth
the
immoderate
Courses
of
Women
,
and
is
also
good
for
inward
or
outward
Wounds
,
Hurts
,
and
Bruises
,
and
helpeth
Children
both
of
Burstings
and
the
Worms
;
and
the
Disease
called
Tenasmus
which
is
an
often
provocation
to
the
Stool
,
and
doing
nothing
,
being
either
drunk
or
injected
:
The
green
Leavs
bruised
and
laid
to
any
green
Wound
staieth
the
bleeding
,
and
healeth
it
up
quickly
:
The
Decoction
or
Juyce
therof
doth
the
same
,
and
helpeth
all
old
and
filthy
Ulcers
quickly
:
The
juyce
of

Herb
taken
in

is
(
as
Pliny
saith
)
a
Soverign
remedy
against

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Flowers
are
held
to
be
more
effectual
than
the
Leavs
and
the
Roots
of
little
use
.
An
Oyntment
being
made
with
them
taketh
away
Spots
,
and
Wrinkles
of
the
Skin
,
Sunburning
and
Freckles
,
and
ads
Beauty
exceedingly
:
They
remedy
all
infirmities
of
the

coming

The
Roots

Back
and
Bladder
,
and
open
the
passages
of
Urine
:
The
Leavs
are
good
in
Wounds
,
and
the
Flowers
take
away
trembling
:
If
the
Flowers
be
not
well
dried
and
kept
in
a
warm
place
,
they
wil
soon
putrifie
and
look
green
,
have
a
special
eye
over
them
:
if
you
let
them
see
the
Sun
once
a
Month
,
it
wil

neither

Because

the

gave

the

;
The

inwardly
,
not

Vertues
and
Use
.
This
fiery
and
hot
spirited
Herb
of
Mars
is
no
way
fit
to
be
given
inwardly
,
but
an
Oyntment
of
the
Leavs
or
Flowers
wil
draw
a
Blister
and
may
so
be
fitting
applied
to
the
nape
of
the
Neck
to
draw
back
Rhewm
from
the
Eyes
,
the
Herb
being
bruised
and
mixed
with
a
little
Mustard
,
draws
a
Blister
as
well
and
as
perfectly
as
Cantharides
,
and
with
far
less
danger
to
the
Vessels
of
Urin
which
Cantharides
Naturally
delight
to
wrong
,
I
knew
the
Herb
once
applied
to
a
Pestilential
rising
that
was
falling
down
,
and
it
saved
life
even
beyond
hope
,
it
were
good
keeping
an
Oyntment
and
Plaister
of
it
if
it
were
but
for
that

CUCKOWPINT
,
or
WAKE
-
ROBIN
.
This
shooteth
forth
three
,
four
,
or
five
Leavs
at
the
most
from
one
Root
,
every
one
wherof
is
somwhat
large
and
long
,
broad
at
the
bottom
next
the
Stalk
,
and
forked
,
but
ending
in
a
point
without
cut
on
the
edges
,
of
a
ful
green
colour
each
standing
upon
a
thick
round
Stalk
,
of
a
hands
breadth
long
or
more
:
among
which
after
two
or
three
Months
that
they
begin
to
wither
,
riseth
up
a
bare
round
whitish
green
Stalk
,
spotted
and
straked
with
purple
,
somwhat
higher
than
the
Leavs
:
at
the
top
wherof
standeth
a
long
hollow
Hose
or
Husk
close
at
the
bottom
,
but
open
from
the
middle
upwards
ending
in
a
point
;
in
the
middle
whereof
standeth
a
smal
long
Pestle
or
Clapper
,
smaller
at
the
bottom
than
at
the
top
,
of
a
dark
purple
colour
as
the
Husk
is
on
the
inside
,
though
green
without
;
which
after
it
hath
so
abidden
for
some
time
,
the
Husk
with
the
Clapper
decayeth
,
and
the
foot
or
bottom
therof
groweth
to
be
a
smal
long
Bunch
of
Berries
,
green
at
the
first
,
and
of
a
yellowish
red
colour
when
they
are
ripe
,
of
the
bigness
of
an
Hazel
nut
Kernel
;
which
abide
theron
almost
until
Winter
;
The
Root
is
round
and
somwhat
long
,
for
the
most
part
lying
along
,
the
Leavs
shooting
forth
at
the
bigger
end
,
which
when
it
beareth
his
Berries
,
is
somwhat
wrinkled
and
loos
,
another
being
growing
under
it
,
which
is
solid
and
firm
with
many
smal
threads
hanging
therat
:
The
whol
Plant
is
of
a
very
sharp
biting
tast
,
pricking
the
Tongue
as
Nettles
do
the
Hands
,
and
so
abideth
for
a
great
while
without
alteration
:
The
Root
hereof
was
anciently
used
instead
of
Starch
to
starch
Linnen
withal
.
There
is
another
sort
of
Cockowpint
with
lesser
Leavs
than
the
former
,
and
somwhat
;
harder
,
having
blackish
spots
upon
them
which
for
the
most
part
abide
longer
green
in
Summer
than
the
former
;
and
both
Leavs
and
Roots
are
more
sharp
and
fierce
than
it
:
In
al
things
els
it
is
like
the
former
.
Place
.
These
two
sorts
grow
frequently
almost
under
every
Hedg
side
in
many
places
of
this
Land
.
Time
.
They
shoot
forth
Leavs
in
the
Spring
and
continue
but
until
the
middle
of
Summer
,
or
somwhat
later
,
their
Husks
appearing
before
they
fall
away
;
and
their
Fruit
shewing
in
August
.
Vertues

need
be
of
the
spotted
Wake

the
same
effect
.
But
if
there
be
a
little
Vinegar
added
therunto
as
well
as
unto
the
Root
aforesaid
it
somwhat
allayeth
the

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
greater
wild
Daisie
is
a
Wound
Herb
of
good
respect
,
often
used
in
those
Drinks
or
Salvs
that
are
for
Wounds
,
either
inward
or
outwards
.
The
Juyce
or
distilled
Water
of
these
,
or
the
smal
Daisies
,
doth
much
temper
the
heat
of
Choller
,
and
refresheth
the
Liver
and
other
inward
parts
.
A
Decoction
made
of
them
and
drunk
,
helpeth
to
cure
the
Wounds
made
in
the
hollowness
of
the
Breast
:
The
same
also
cureth
al
Ulcers
and
Pustles
in
the
Mouth
or
Tongue
,
or
in
the
secret
parts
.
The
Leavs
bruised
and
applied
to
the
Cods
,
or
to
any
other
parts
that
are
swollen
and
hot
,
doth
resolve
it
and
temper
the
Head
:
A
Decoction
made
hereof
with
Walwort
and
Agrimony
and
the
places
fomented
or
bathed
therwith
warm
,
giveth
great
eas
to
them
that
are
troubled
with
the
Palsy
,
Sciatica
,
or
the
Gout
.
The
same
also
disperseth
and
dissolveth
the
Knots
or
Kernels
that
grow
in
the
Flesh
of
any
part
of
the
Body
and
the
Bruises
and
Hurts
that
come
of
Fals
and
Blows
:
They
are
also
used
for
Ruptures
,
and
other
inward
Burnings
with
very
good
success
.
An
Oyntment
made
hereof
doth
wonderfully
help
al
Wounds

Inflamations
about
them
,
or
by
reason
of
moist
humors

unto
them
,
are
kept

from
healing
and
such
are
those
for
the
most
part
that
happen
in
the
Joynts
of
the
Arms
or
Legs
.
The
Juyce

DILL
.
Description
.
The
common
Dill
groweth
up
with
seldom
more
than
one
Stalk
,
neither
so
high
nor
so
great
usually
as
Fennel
,
being
round
and
with
fewer
Joynts
theron
,
whose
Leavs
are
sadder
,
and
somwhat
long
,
and
so
like
Fennel
that
it
deceiveth
many
;
but
harder
in
handling
and
somwhat
thicker
,
and
of
a
stronger
unpleasanter
set
:
The
tops
of
the
Stalks
have
four
Branches
and
smaller
Umbels
of
yellow
Flowers
,
which
turn
into
smal
Seed
somwhat
flatter
and
thinner
than
Fennel
Seed
.
The
Root
is
small
and
woody
,
perishing
every
year
after
it
hath
born
Seed
;
and
is
also
unprofitable
,
being
never
put
to
any
use
.
Place
.
It
is
most
usually
sown
in
Gardens
,
and
Grounds
for
the
purpose
,
&
is
also
found
wild
with
us
in
some
places
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Dill
being
boyled
and
drunk
is
good
to
eas
Swellings
&
pains
,
it
also
stayeth
the
Belly
,
and
Stomach
from
casting
:
The
Decoction
thereof
helpeth
Women
that
are
troubled
with
the
Pains
and
Windiness
of
the
Mother
,
if
they
fit
therin
.
It
stayeth
the
Hiccough
,
being
boyled
in
Wine
and
but
smelled
unto
,
being
tied
in
a
Cloth
.
The
Seed
is
of
more
use
than
the
Leavs
and
more
effectual
to
digest
raw
and
viscuous
humors
,
and
is
used
in
Medicines
that
serve
to
expel
Wind
and
the
pains
proceeding
therfrom
.
The
Seed
being
toasted
or
fried
and
used
in
Oyls
or
Plaisters
,
dissolveth
the
Imposthumes
in
the
Fundament
,
and
drieth
up
all
moist
Ulcers
(
especially
in
the
secret
parts
.
)
The
Oyl
made
of
Dill
is
effectual
to
warm
,
to
resolve
Humors
and
Imposthumes
,
to
eas
pains
and
to
procure

with
one
Rib
only
in
the

:
At
the
end
of
each
Branch
standeth
a

Head
of
many
Flowers
set

the

bit
away
the

The
first
groweth
as
well
in
dry
Meadows
and
Fields
,
as
moist
,
in
many
places
of
this
Land
:
But
the
other
two
are
more
rare

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Herb
or
Root
(
all
that
the
Devil
hath
left
of
it
)
being
boyled
in
Wine
and
drunk
is
very
powerful
against
the
Plague
,
and
all
Pestilential
Diseases
or
Feavers
,
Poysons
also
,
and
the
bitings
of
Venemous
Beasts
;
It
also
helpeth
those
that
are
inwardly
bruised
by
any
casualty
,
ar
outwardly
by
Falls
or
Blows
,
dissolving
the
clotted
Blood
:
and
the
Herb
or
Root
beaten
and
outwardly
applied
,
taketh
away
the
black
and
blue
Marks
that
remain
in
the
Skin
.
The
Decoction
of
the
Herb
,
with
Honey
of
Roses
put
therin
is
very
effectual
to
help
the
inveterate
tumors
and
Swellings
of
the
Almonds
and
Throat
,
by
often
gargling
the
Mouth
therwith
.
It
helpeth
also
to
procure
Womens
Courses
,
and
easeth
all
pains
of
the
Mother
,
and
to
break
and
discuss
Winds
therein
and
in
the
Bowels
.
The
Pouder
of
the
Root
taken
in
Drink
,
driveth
forth
the
Worms
in
the
body
:
The
Juyce
,
or
distilled
Water
of
the
Herb
is
effectual
for
green

These
are

many
kinds
of
them

that
I
shall
not

with
a
Description

them
;
my
Book

.
Vertues
and
Use
.
All
of
them
have
a
kind
of
cooling
(
but
not
all
alike
)
drying
quality
the
Sorrels
being
most
cold
,
and
the
Bloodworts
most
drying
:
Of
the
Bur

dock
I
have
spoken
already
by
himself
.
The
Seed
of
most
of
the
other
kinds
whether
of
the
Garden
or
Field
,
do
stay
Lasks
or
Fluxes
of
all
sorts
,
the
loathings
of

is
helpful
to
those
that
spit

boyled
in
Vinegar
helpeth
the
Itch

breakings
out

make
it
boyled

Besides
Bloodwort
is
exceeding
strengthning
to
the
Liver
,
and
procures
good
Blood
,
being
as
wholsom
a

Herb
as
any

,
yet
such
is
the
nicity
of
our
times
forsooth

that
Women
will
not
put
it
in

it
makes

DODDER
OF
TIME
,
or
EPITHIMUM
,
and
other
DODDERS
.
Description
.
This
first
from
seeds
giveth
Roots
in
the
ground
,
which
shooteth
forth
threads
or
Strings
,
grosser
or
finer
,
as
the
property
of
the
Plant
wherein
it
groweth
,
and
the
climate
doth
suffer
,
creeping
and
spreading
on
that
Plant
wheron
it
fastneth
,
be
it
high
or
low
.
These
Strings
have
no
Leavs
at
all
upon
them
but
wind
and
interlace
themselves
so
thick
upon
a
smal
Plant
that
it
taketh
away
all
comfort
of
the
Sun
from
it
,
and
is
ready
to
choke
or
strangle
it
:
After
these
Strings
are
risen
up
to
that
Height
that
they
may
draw
Nourishment
from
the
Plant
,
they
seem
to
be
broken
off
from
the
ground
,
either
by
the
strength
of
ther
rising
,
or
withered
by
the
heat
of
the
Sun
.
Upon
these
Strings
are
found
clusters
of
small
Heads
or
Husks
,
out
of
which
start
forth
whitish
Flowers
,
which
afterwads
give
smal
pale
colour'd
Seed
somwhat
flat
,
and
twice
as
big
as
Poppy
Seed
.
It
generally
participates
of
the
Nature
of
that
Plant
which
it
climbeth
upon
,
but
the
Dodder
of
Time
is
accounted
the
best
,
and
is
the
only
true
Epithimum
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
This
is
accounted
the
most
effectual
for
Melanchollick
Diseases
,
and
to
purge
black
or
burnt
Choller
,
which
is
the
caus
of
many
Diseases
of
the
Head
and
Brains
,
as
also
for
the
trembling
of
the
Heart
,
faintings
,
and
swounings
.
It
is
helpful
in
all
Diseases
and
Griefs
of
the
Spleen
,
and
of
that
Melancholly
that
ariseth
from
the
windiness
of
the
Hypochondria
.
It
purgeth
also
the
Reins
or
Kidneys
by
Urin
.
It
openeth
Obstructions
of
the
Gall
,
wherby
it
profiteth
them
that
have
the
Jaundice
;
as
also
of
the
Liver
,
and
Spleen
;
purging
the
Veins
of
Chollerick
and
Flegmatick
Humors
,
and
helpeth
Childrens
Agues
,
a
little
Wormfeed
being
put
therto
.
The
other
Dodders
do
(
as
I
said
before
)
participate
of
the
Nature
of
those
Plants
whereon
they
grow
:
As
that
which
hath
been
found
growing
upon
Nettles
in
the
West
Country
,
hath
by
experience
been
found
very
effectual
to
procure
plenty
of
Urin
where
it
hath
been
stopped
or
hindred
.
And
so
of
the
rest
.
Melancholy
,
Addust

,
Trembling
,
fainting
,

,
Jaundice
,

,
Disury
.
All
Dodders
are
under
Saturn
.
Tell
not
me
of
Physitians
crying
up
Epithimum
,
or
that
Dodder
which
grows
upon
Time
(
most
of
which
comes
from
Hymettus
in
Greece
,
or
Hybla
in
Sicilia
,
becaus
those
Mountains
abound
with
Time
)
he
is
a
Physitian
indeed
that
hath
wit
enough
to
chuse
his
Dodder
according
to
Nature
of
the
Diseas
and
Humor
peccant
,
we
confess
,
Time
is
the
hottest
Herb
it
usually
grows
upon
,
and
therfore
that
which
grows
upon
Time
is
hotter
than
that
which
grows
upon
colder
Herbs
,
for
it
draws
Nourishment
from
what
it
grows
upon
as
well
as
from
the
Earth
where
its
Root
is
and
thus
you
see
old
Saturn
is
wise
enough
to
have
two
Strings
to
his
Bow
.
Sympathy
and
Antipathy
,
are
the
two
Hinges
upon
which
the
whol
Moddel
of
Physick
turns
,
and
that
Physitian
which
minds
them
not
is
like
a
Door
off
from
the
Hooks
,
more
likely
to
do
a
man
a
mischief
than
to
secure
him
:
then
all
the
Diseases
Saturn
causeth
,
this
helps
by
Sympathy
,
&
strengthens
al
the
parts
of
the
Body
he
rules
,
such
as
caused
by
Sol
it
helps
by
Antipathy
,
what
those
Diseases
are
see
my
Judgment
of
Diseases
by
Astrology
,
and
you
be
pleased
to
look

Herb

you
shal
find
a
Rational
way
for
it

DOGS

GRASS
or
QUICH
-
GRASS
.
Description
.
It
is
well
known
that
this
Grass
creepeth
far
about
under
ground
with
long
white
joynted
Roots
,
and
smal
fibres
almost
at
every
Joynt
very
sweet
in
tast
,
as
the
rest
of
the
Herb
is
,
and
interlacing
one
another
,
from
whence
shoot
forth
many
fair
long
grassy
Leavs
small
at
the
ends
and
cutting
or
sharp
on
the
edges
.
The
Stalks
are
joynted
like
Corn
with
the
like
Leavs
on
them
,
and
a
long
spiked
Head
with
long
Husks
on
them
and
hard
rough
Seed
in
them
.
Place
.
It
groweth
commonly
through
this
Land
in
divers
plowed
grounds
,
to
the
no
smal
trouble
of
the
Husbandman
,
as
also
of
the
Gardiners
in
Gardens
to
weed
it
out
if
they
can
,
for
it
is
a
constant
Customer
to
the
place
it
gets
footing
in
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
This
is
the
most
Medicinable
of
all
the
Quich
-
grasses
:
Being
boyled
and
drunk
it
openeth
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
and
Gall
,
and
the
stoppings
of
the
Urin
,
and
easeth
the
griping
pains
of
the
Belly
,
and
Inflamations
;
wasteth
the
matter
of
the
Stone
in
the
Bladder
,
and
the
Ulcers
thereof
also
:
The
Roots
brused
and
applied
doth
consolidate
Wounds
:
The
Seed
doth
more
powerfully
expel
Urin
,
and
stayeth
the
Lask
,
and
Vomitings
;
The
distilled
Water

The
way
of
use
is
to
bruis
the
Roots
,
and
having
well
boyled
them
in
white
Wine
,
drink
the
Decoction
;
'tis
opening
,
but
not
purging
very
safe
;
'tis
a
Remedy
against
all
Diseases
coming
of
Stopping
and
such
are
half
those
which
are
incident
to
the
Body
of
man
;
and
although
a
Gardiner
be
of
another
opinion
,
yet
a
physitian
holds
half
an
Acre
of
them
to
be
worth
five
Acres

This
hath
many
large
Leavs
lying
on

somwhat
cut
in

and
as
it

crumpled
on
the
edges

of

Pliny

write
That
the

hereof
taken
in

,
helpeth
those
that
have
a
Crick
in

Neck
,
wherby
they
cannot
turn
their
Neck

their
whol
Body
must
turn

Sure
they
do
not
mean
those
that
have
got
a
Crick
in

Galen
saith
that
the

Leavs
hereof
are
of
an
heating
quality
,
and
good
for
such
Persons
as
have
their
Bodies
drawn
together
by

THE
ELDER

TREE

I
hold
it
needless
to

any
Description
of
this

sith
every
Boy
that
plaies

will
not

another

called
also

THE
DWARF
ELDER
.
Description
.
This
is
but
an
Herb
every
yeer
dying
with
his
Stalks
to
the
ground
,
and
rising
again
afresh
every
Spring
;
and
is
like
unto
the
Elders
both
in
form
and
quality
,
rising
up
with
a
four
square
rough
hairy
Stalk
four
foot
high
or
more
somtimes
.
The
winged
Leavs
are
somwhat
narrower
than
the
Elder
,
but
els
very
like
them
.
The
Flowers
are
white
with
a
dash
of
Purple
standing
in
Umbels
,
very
like
the
Elder
also
but
more
sweet
in
scent
,
after
which
come
smal
blackish
Berries
,
full
of
Juyce
while
they
are
fresh
,
wherein
there
lie
smal
hard
Kernels
or
Seed
.
The
Root
doth
creep
under
the
upper
crust
of
the
ground
,
springing
afresh
in
divers
places
being
of
the
bigness
of
ones
finger
or
Thumb
somtimes

Tree
groweth
in
Hedges

,
and
to

the
Banks
by

Flowreth
somwhat

and
his
fruit
is
not
ripe
until
September

&
the
yong
Leavs
&
Stalks
boyled
in
Fat
Broth

doth
mightily
carry

Flegm
and
Choller

The

inner
Bark
boyled
in
Water
,
and
given
to

worketh
much
more
violently
;
and
the
Berries
either
green

The
Decoction
of

the
Veins
,
and
bringth
down
their
Courses

of
the
Berries
boyled
with
a
little
Honey

The
Decoction
of
the
Berries
in
Wine

The
distilled
Water
of
the
Flowers
is
of
much
use
to

the
Skin
from
Sunburning
,
Freckles
,
Morphew
,
or
the
like
;
and
taketh
away
Headaches
coming
of
a
cold
caus

the
Head

in
the
Month
of
May
,
and
the
Legs
often
washed
with
the
said
distilled
Water
,
it
taketh
away
the
Ulcers
and
Sores
of
them

Vertues
and
Use
.
If
this
Herb
were
but
as
much
used
as
it
is
neglected
,
it
would
half
spoil
the
Spectacle
makers
Trade
;
and
a
man
would
think
that
reason
should
teach
people
to
prefer
the
preservation
of
their
Natural
before
Artificial
Spectacles
:
which
that
they
may
be
instructed
how
to
do
,
take
the
Vertues
of
Eyebright
as
followeth
.
The
Juyce
or
distilled
Water
of
Eyebright
taken
inwardly
in
white
Wine
or
Broth
,
or
dropped
into
the
Eyes
for
divers
daies
together
,
helpeth
all
infirmities
of
the
Eyes
that
caus
dimness
of
Sight
:
Some
make
a
Conserv
of
the
Flowers
to
the
same
effect
:
Being
used
any
of
these
waies
it
also
helpeth
a
weak
Brain
or
Memory
,
This
tunned
up
with
strong
Beer

it
may
work
together
,
and
drunk
;
Or
the

of
the
dried
Herb
mixed
with
Sugar

a
little
Mace

and
drunk
or
eaten
in
Broth
:
Or
the
said
Pouder
made
into

Electuary
with
Sugar
and
taken
,
hath
the
same
powerful
effect
to
help
and
restore
the
Sight
decaied
through

And
Arnoldus

FERN
.
Description
.
Of
this
there
are
two
kinds
principally
to
be
noted
;
viz
.
The
Male
and
Female
:
The
Female
groweth
higher
than
the
Male
,
but
the
Leavs
therof
are
lesser
,
&
more
divided
or
dented
;
&
of
as
strong
a
smel
as
the
Male
:
The
Vertues
of
them
are
both
alike
;
and
therfore
I
shall
not
trouble
you
with
any
further
Description
or
distinction
of
them
.
Place
.
They
both
grow
on
Heaths
,

Hedg
sides
in
all
Countries
of
this
Land
.
Time
.
They
flourish
and
give
their
Seed
at
Mid

summer
.
The
Femal
Fern
is
that
plant
which
is
in
Sussex
called
Brakes
,
the
Seed
of
which
some
Authors
hold
to
be
so
rare
,
such
a
thing
there
is
I
know
,
and
may
easily
Be
had
upon
Mid

Eve
,

or
three
daies
before
or
after

not
more

The
Roots
of
both
these
sorts
of
Ferns
,
being
bruised

both
the

Leavs
eaten
,
purgeth
the

They
are
dangerous
for

Vertues

Fennel
is
good
to
break
wind
,
to
provoke
Urine
,
and
eas
the
pains
of
the
Stone
,
and
help
to

.
The
Leavs
or
Seed
boiled
in
Barley
Water
and
drunk
is
good
for
Nurses
to
encreas
their
Milk
and
make
it
more
wholsom
for
the
Child
:
The
Leavs
,
or
rather
the
Seed
boyled
in
Water
staieth
the
Hiccough
,
and
taketh
away
that
loathing
which
oftentimes
hapneth
to
the
Stomachs
of
Sick
,
and
Feaverish
Persons
,
and
allayeth
the
heat
therof
.
The
Seed
boyled
in
Wine
and
drunk
,
is
good
for
those
that
are
bitten
by
Serpents
,
or
have
eaten
Poyson
full
Herbs
or
Mushroms
:
The
Seed
and
the
Root
much
more
helpeth
to
open
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
and
Gall
,
and
thereby
helpeth
the
painful
and
windy
swellings
of
the
Spleen
,
and
the
yellow
Jaundice
,
as
also
the
Gout
and
Cramps
.
The
Seed
is
of
good
use
in
Medicines
to
help
shortness
of
breath
,
and
Wheesing
by
stopping
of
the
Lungs
.
It
helpeth
also
to
bring
down
the
Courses
and
to
clens
the
parts
after
delivery
.
The
Roots
are
of
most
use
in
Physick
Drinks
and
Broths
that
are
taken
to
clens
the
Blood
,
to
open
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
to
provoke
Urine
,
and
amend
the
ill
colour
in
the
Face
after
Sickness
,
and
to
caus
a
good
habit
through
the
Body
:
Both
Leavs
,
Seeds
,
and
Roots
hereof
are
much
used
in
Drinks
or
Broths
,
to
make
people
more
spare
and
lean
that
are
too
fat
.

The

The

Fennel
is
stronger

hotter
than
the

;

therefore
most
powerful
against

One

To

,
for
it
consumes
that
Flegmatick
humor
which
Fish
most
plentifully
afford
and
annoy
the
body
by
,
therefore
it
is
a
most
fit
Herb
for
that
purpose
though
few
that
use
it
know
why
or
wherfore
they
do
it
,
I
suppose
the
Reason
of
its
benefit
this
way
is
becaus
it
is
an
Herb
of
Mercury
and
under
Virgo
,
and
therfore
bears
Antipathy
to
Pisces
.
Dill
is
also
an
Herb
of

FLEAWORT
.
Description
.
The
ordinary
Fleawort
riseth
up
with
a
Stalk
two
Foot
high
,
or
more
,
full
of
Joynts
and
Branches
on
every
side
up
to
the
top
,
and
at
every
Joynt
two
small
long
and
narrow
whitish
green
Leavs
somwhat
hairy
:
At
the
tops
of
every
Branch
stand
divers
small
short
scaly
or
chaffy
Heads
,
out
of
which
come
forth
small
whitish
yellow
threds
,
like
to
those
of
the
Plantane
Herbs
,
which
are
the
Bloomings
or
Flowers
.
The
Seed
inclosed
in
those
Heads
is
smal
and
shining
while
it
is
Fresh
very
like
unto
Fleas
,
both
for
colour
and
bigness
,
but
turning
black
when
it
groweth
old
.
The
Root
is
not
long
but
white
,
hard
,
and
woody
,
perishing
every
yeer
and
rising
again
of
its
own
Seed
for
divers

if
it
be
suffered
to
shed
:
The
whol
Plant
is
somwhat
whitish

hairy
,
smelling
somwhat
like
Rozin
.
There
is
another
sort
hereof
differing
not
from
the
former
in
the
manner
of
growing
,
but
only
that
his
Stalk
and
Branches
being
somwhat
greater
do
a
little
more
bow
down
to
the
ground
:
The
Leavs
are
somwhat
larger
;
the
Heads
somewhat
lesser
,
the
Seed
alike
;
and
the
Root
and
Leavs
abide
all
the
Winter
,
and
perish
not
as
the
former
.

The
first

Vertues

The
Seed
fried

so
taken
staieth
the
Flux
or
Lask
of
the
Belly
,
and
the
corrosions
that
come
by
reason
of
hot
,
Chollerick
,
Sharp
,
and
malignant
Humors
or
by
the
too
much
purging
of
any
violent
Medicine
,
as
Scammony
or
the
like
.
The
Muccilage
of
the
Seed
made
with
Rose
Water
,

a
little
Sugar
Candy
put

is
very
good
in

,
and
other
Inflamations
to
cool
the
thirst
,
and
lenify
the
dryness

and
Throat
.

helpeth
also
hoarsness
of
the
voice
,
and
Diseases
of
the
Breast
and
Lungs
caused
by
heat
,

in
Plantane
Water
,
whereunto
the
Yolk
of
an
Egg
or
two
,
and
a
little
Populeon
is
put
,
is
a
most
safe
and
sure
Remedy
to
eas
the
sharpness
,
prickings
,
and
pains
of
the
Hemorrhoids
or
Piles
,
if
it
be
laid
on
a
cloath
and
bound
therto
.
It
helpeth
also
all
Inflamations
in
any
parts
of
the
Body
and
the
pains
that
come
thereby
,
as
the
Headach

the
Bursting
of

Children
,
and

.
It
is
also
very
good
to

helpeth
the

yet
a

somtimes
more
long
than

without

theron
,
somwhat
hoary
,
and
of
an
evil
greenish
white
colour
;
at
the
Joynts
all
along
the
Stalks
,
and
with
the
Leavs
come
forth
smal
Flowers
one
at
a
place
,
upon
a
very
small
short
Footstalk
,
gaping
somwhat
like
Snapdragons

with
a
small
heel

small
round
Heads
,
containing
smal
black
Seed
.
The
Root
is
smal
and
threddy
,
dying
every
yeer
,
and
raiseth
it
self
again
of
its
own
sowing
.
There
is
another

hath
longer
Branches
wholly
trailing

Leavs
are
a
little
larger
and
somwhat
round

cornered
somtimes
in
some
places
on
the
edges
;
but
the
lower
part
of
them
being
the
broadest
,
hath
on

a
smal
point

the
colours
therein
are
more
white

the
Purple
not
so
fair

a
larger

:
The

evil
quality
of

property
therin

Jupiter

,
therfore
is
a
singular
Remedy
for
the
Liver
,
both
to
strengthen
it
when
weak
,
and
eas
it
when
afflicted
,
'tis
no
matter
by
what
you
should
do
well
to
keep
it
in
a
Syrup
all
the
yeer
,
for
though
my
Author
say
'tis
green
all
the
yeer
,
I
scarce
beleev
it
.
As
for
the
use
of
it
,
my
Directions
at
latter
end
will
be
sufficient
,
and
enough
for
those
that
are
studious
in

their

so
well

Description

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
parched
Kernels
made
into
an
Electuary
,
or
the
Milk
drawn
from
the
Kernels
with
Mead
or
Honeyed
Water
,
is
very
good
to
help
an
old
Cough
;
and
being
parched
and
a
little
Pepper
put

and

And
if
this
be

it
is

then
why
should
the
Vulgar
so
familiarly
affirm
,
that
eating
Nuts
causeth
shortness
of
Breath
than
which
nothing
is
falser
,
for
how
can
that
which
strengthens
the
Lungues
cause
shortness
of
breath
?
I
confess
the
Opinion
is
far
older
than
I
am
,
I
knew
Tradition
was
a
Friend
to
Errors
before
,
but
never
that
he
was
the
Father
of
Slanders
,
or
are
mens
tongues
so
given
to
slandering
one
another
that
they
must
slander
Nuts
too
,
to
keep
their
tongues
in
use
?
If
any
thing
of
the
Hazel
Nut
be
stopping
'tis
the
Husks
and
Shels
,
and
no
body
is
so
mad
to
eat
them
unless
Physically
,
and
the
red
Skin
which
covers
the
Kernel
which
you
may
easily
pull
off
.
And
thus
have
I
made
an
Apology
for
Nuts
which
cannot
speak
for
themselves
.

Vertues
and
Use
.
Hawkweed
(
saith
Dioscorides
)
is
cooling
somwhat
drying
and
binding
,
and
therfore
good
for
the
heat
of
the
stomach
,
and
gnawings
therein
,
for
Inflamations
and
the
hot
fits
of
Agues
.
The
Juice
therof
in
wine
helpeth
digestion
,
discusseth
wind
,
hindreth
crudities
abiding
in
the
stomack
,
and
helpeth
the
difficulty
of
making
Water
,
the

of
Venemous
Serpents
,
and
sting
of
the
Scorpion
,
if
the
herb
be
also
outwardly
applyed
to
the
place
,
and
is
very
good
against
all
other
Poysons
.
A
scruple
of
the
dryed
Juyce
given
in
wine
and
vinegar
is
profitable
for
those
that
have
the
Dropsie
.
The

taken
with
Honey
,
digesteth
thin
flegm

and
with

,
encreaseth

&
helpeth
the
diseases
of

it
is
singular
good
for
all
the
defects
and
diseases
of
the
eyes
,
used
with
some

Milke
,
and
is
used
wth
good
success
in

especially
in

The

with
a

THE
HAWTHORN
.
It
is
not
my
intent
to
trouble
you
with
a
Description
of
this
Tree
which
is
so
well
known
that
it
needeth
none
.
It
is
ordinarily
but
a
Hedg
Bush
,
although
being
pruned
and
dressed
it
groweth
to
be
a
Tree
of
a
reasonable
height
.
As
for
the
Hawthorn
tree
at
Glastenbury
,
which
is
said
to
flower
yearly
on
Christmas
Day
,
it
rather
shews
the
superstition
of
those
who
observe
it
for
the
time
of
its
Flowring
,
than
any
great
wonder
,
sith
the
like
may
be
found
in
diverse
other
places
of
this
land
,
as
in
Whey
-
street
in
Rumney
Marsh
,
and
neer
unto
Nantwiche
in
Cheshire
by
a
place
called
White
-
Green
,
where
if
the
Winter
be
milde
they
will
be
white
blossomes
all
over
before
and
about
Christmas
,
as
in
May
,
if
the
weather
be
frosty
,
it
Flowreth
not
until
January
,
or
that
the
hard
weather
be
over
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Berries
or
the
seed
in
the
Berries
beaten
to
pouder
and
drunk
in
wine
,
are
held
singular
good
against
the
stone
and
are
good
for
the
dropsy
.
The
distilled
water
of
the
Flowers
stayeth
the
lask
.
The
seeds
cleared
from
the
Down
,
bruised
and
boyled
in
wine
&
drunk
is
good
for
inward
tormenting
pains
:
If
cloathes
and
spunges
be
wet
in
the
said
distilled
water
and
applyed
to
any
place
wherin
thornes
,
splinters
or
the
like
do
abide
in
the
Flesh
,
it
will
notably
draw
them
forth
.
Stone
,
Dropsie
,
Flux
,
Inward
pains
,
Splinters
,
Thorns
.
And
thus
you
see
the
thorn
gives
a
medicine
for
his
own
pricking
,
and
so
doth
almost
every
thing
else
.
HEMLOCK
.
Description
.
The
Common
great
Hemlock
groweth
up
with
a
green
stalk
four
or
five
foot
high
or
more
,
ful
of
red
spots
somtimes
,
and
at
the
Joynts
very
large
winged
leavs
set
at
them
which
are
divided
into
many
other
winged
leaves
,
one
set
against
another
dented
about
the
edges
,
of
a
sad
green
colour
branched
towards
the
top
where
it
is
full
of
Umbles
of
white
Flowers
,
and
afterwards
with
whitish
flat
Seed
:
The
Root
is
long
,
white
,
and
somtimes
crooked
and
hollow
within
,
the
whol
Plant
and
every
part
hath
a
strong
,
heady
,
and
ill
favor'd
scent
,
much
offending
the
Senses
.
Place
.
It
groweth
in
all
Countries
of
this
Land
by
Wals
and
Hedges
sides
,
in
wast
Grounds
and
untilled
places
.
Time
.
It
Flowreth
and
Seedeth
in
July
,
or
there
abouts
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
Hemlock
is
exceeding
cold
and
very
dangerous
,
especially
to
be
taken
inwardly
:
It
may
safely
be
applied
to
Inflamations
,
Tumors
,
and
Swelling
in
any
part
of
the
Body
(
save
the
Privy
parts
)
as
also
to
St
.
Anthonies
fire
Wheals
,
Pushes
,
and
creeping
Ulcers
that
rise
of
hot
sharp
Humors
,
by
cooling
and
repelling
the
heat
.
The
Leavs
bruised
and
laid
to
the
Brow
or
Forehead
,
is
good
for
their
Eyes
that
are
red
and
swollen
,
as
also
to
take
away
a
Pin
and
Web
growing
in
the
Eye
,
this
is
a
tried
Medicine
;
Take
a
smal
Handful
of
the
Herb
and
half
so
much
Bay
Salt
beaten
together
,
and
applied
to
the
contrary
Wrest
of
the
Hand
for
twenty
four
Hours
,
doth
remove
it
in
thrice
dressing
.
If
the
Root
hereof
be
roasted
under
the
Embers
,
wrapped
in
double
wet
Papers
,
until
it
be
soft
and
tender
,
and
then
applied
to
the
Gout
in
the
Hands
or
Fingers
it
will
quickly
help
this
evil
.
If
any
shall
through
mistake
eat
the
Herb
Hemlock
instead
of
Parsly
,
or
the
Root
instead
of
a
Parsnip
(
both
which
it
is
very
like
)
whereby
hapneth
a
kind
of
Phrensie
,
or
Perturbation
of
the
senses
,
as
if
they
were
stupified
or
drunk
,
The
Remedy
is
as
Pliny
saith
,
to
drink
of
the
best
and
strongest
pure
Wine
,
before
it
strike
to
the
Heart
,
or
Gentian
put
into
Wine
or
a
draught
of
good
vinegar
,
wherewith
Tragus
doth
affirm
that
he
cured
a
Woman
that
had
eaten
the
Root

Saturn
claims
Dominion
over
the
Herb
,
yet
I
wonder
why
it
may
not
be
applied
to
the
privities
in
a
Priapismus
,
or
continual
standing
of
the
Yard
,
it
being
very
beneficial
for
that
Disease
;
I
suppose
my
Authors
Judgment
was
first
upon
the
opposit
Disposition
of
Saturn
to
Venus
in
those
Faculties
,
and
therfore
he
forbid
the
applying
of
it
to
those
parts
that
it
might
not
caus
Barrenness
,
or
spoil
the
Spirit
Procreative
,
which
if
it
do
,
yet
applied
to
the
Privities
it
stops
lustful
thoughts
.
HEMP
.
This
is
so
well
known
to
every
good
Huswife
in
the
Country
,
that
I
shal
not
need
to
write
any
Description
of
it
.
Time
.
It
is
sown
in
the
end
of
March
,
or
beginning
of
April
,
and
is
ripe
in
August
or
September
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Seed
of
Hemp
consumeth
Wind
,
and
by
the
much
use
thereof
disperseth
it
so
much
that
it
drieth
up
the
natural
Seed
for
Procreation
;
yet
being
boyled
in
Milk
and
taken
,
helpeth
such
as
have
a
hot
dry
Cough
.
The
Dutch
make
an
Emulsion
out
of
the
Seed
,
and
give
it
with
good
success
to
those
that
have
the
Jaundice
,
especially
in
the
beginning
of
the
Disease
if
there
be
no
Ague
accompanying
it
,
for
it
openeth
Obstructions
of
the
Gall
,
and
causeth
digestion
of
Choller
.
The
Emulsion
or
Decoction
of
the
Seed
staieth
Lasks
and
continual
Fluxes
,
easeth
the
Chollick
,
and
allayeth
the
troublesom
Humors
in
the
Bowels
,
and
staieth
bleeding
at
the
Mouth
,
Nose
,
or
other
place
,
some
of
the
Leavs
being
fried
with
the
Blood
of
that
bleed
,
and
so
given
them
to
eat
.
It
is
held
very
good
to
kill
the
Worms
in
man
or
Beast
,
and
the
Juyce
dropped
into
the
Ears
killeth
Worms
in
them
,
and
draweth
forth
Earwigs
,
or
other
living
Creatures
gotten
into
them
.
The
Decoction
of
the
Root
allayeth
Inflamations
in
the
Head
or
any
other
parts
;
the
Herb
it
self
,
or
the
Distilled
Water
thereof
doth
the
like
:
The
Decoction
of
the
Roots
easeth
the
pains
of
the
Gout
,
the
hard
Tumors
,
or
Knots
in
the
Joynts
,
the
pains
and
shrinking
of
the
Sinews
,
and
the
pains
of
the
Hips
:
The
fresh
Juyce
mixed
with
a
little
Oyl
and
Butter
,
is
good
for
any
place
that
hath
been
burnt
with
fire
being
thereto
applied

HENBANE
.
Description
.
Our
common
Henbane
hath
very
large
,
thick
,
soft
,
wooly
Leavs
lying
upon
the
ground
,
much
cut
in
or
torn
on
the
edges
of
a
dark
ill
grayish
green
colour
,
among
which
rise
up
divers
thick
&
short
Stalks
two
or
three
foot
high
,
spread
into
divers
smaller
Branches
with
lesser
Leavs
on
them
,
and
many
hollow
Flowers
scarce
appearing
above
the
Husks
,
and
usually
torn
on
the
one
side
,
ending
in
five
round
points
growing
one
above
another
,
of
a
deadish
yellow
colour
,
somwhat
paler
toward
the
edges
,
with
many
purplish
Veins
therein
,
and
of
a
dark
yellowish
purple
in
the
bottom
of
the
Flower
,
with
a
smal
pointel
of
the
same
colour
in
the
middle
,
each
of
them
standing
in
hard
close
Husk
,
which
after
the
Flower
is
past
,
groweth
very
like
the
Husk
of
Asarabacca
,
and
somwhat
sharp
at
the
top
Points
,
wherein
is
contained
much
smal
Seed
very
like
Poppy
Seed
,
but
of
a
dusky
grayish
colour
.
The
Root
is
great
,
white
and
thick
,
branching
forth
divers
waies
under
ground
,
so
like
a
Parsnip
Root
(
but
that
it
is
not
so
white
)
that
it
hath
deceived
divers
.
The
whol
Plant
more
than
the
Root
hath
a
heavy
ill
soporiferous
smell
somwhat
offensive
.
Place
.
It
commonly
groweth
by
the
way
sides
,
and
under
Hedg
sides
and
Wals
.
Time
.
It
Flowreth
in
July
,
and
springeth
again
yeerly
of
its
own
Seed
.
I
doubt
my
Author
mistook
July
for
June
,
if
not
for
May
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Leavs
of
Henbane
do
cool
all
hot
Inflamations
in
the
Eyes
or
any
other
part
of
the
Body
;
and
are
good
to
asswage
all
manner
of
Swellings
of
the
Cods
or
Womens
Breasts
,
or
els
where
,
if
they
be
boyled
in
Wine
,
and
either
applied
themselves
or
the
Fomentation
warm
;
it
also
asswageth
the
pain
of
the
Gout
,
the
Sciatica
and
all
other
pains
in
the
Joynts
which
arise
from
an
hot
caus
.
And
applied
with
Vinegar
to
the
Forehead
and
Temples
,
helpeth
the
Headach
and
want
of
sleep
in
hot
Feavers
.
The
Juyce
of
the
Herb
or
Seed
,
or
the
Oyl
drawn
from
the
Seed
doth
the
like
.
The
Oyl
of
the
Seed
is
helpful
for
the
Deafness
,
Nois
,
and
Worms
in
the
Ears
,
being
dropped
therein
;
the
Juyce
of
the
Herb
,
or
Root
doth
also
the
same
.
The
Decoction
of
the
Herb
,
or
Seed
,
or
both
,
killeth
Lice
in
Man
and
Beast
.
The
fume
of
the
dried
Herb
Stalks
and
Seed
burned
,
quickly
healeth
Swellings
,
Chilblains
,
or
Kibes
in
the
Hands
or
Feet
,
by
holding
them
in
the
fume
thereof
.
The
Remedy
to
help
those
that
have
taken
Henbane
is
to
drink
Goats
Milk
,
Honyed
Water
or
Pine
Kernels
,
with
Sweet
Wine
:
or
in
the
absence
of
these
,
Fennel
Seed
,
Nettle
Seed
,
the
Seed
of
Cresses
,
Mustard
,
or
Radish
,
as
also
Onions
,
or
Garlick
taken
in
Wine
,
do
all
help
to
free
them
from
danger
,
and
restore
them
to
their
due
temper
again
.
Inflamation
,
Cods
,

Breasts
,
Gout
,

,
Joynts
,
Watching
,
Deafness
,
Noise
in
the
Ears
,
Chilblains
,
Kibes
,
French
Pox
.
Take
notice
that
this
Herb
must
never
be
taken
inwardly
,
outwardly
,
an
Oyl
,
Oyntment
,
or
Plaister
of
it
,
is
most
admirable
for
the
Gout
,
to
cool
the
Venerial
heat
of
the
Reins
in
the
French
Pox
,
to
stop
the
Toothach
being
applied
to
the
aching
side
,
to
allay
all
Inflamations
,
and
to
help
the
Diseases
before
premised
.
I
wonder
in
my
Heart
how
Astrologers
could
take
on
them
to
make
this
an
Herb
of
Jupiter
,
and
yet
Mizaldus
,
a
man
of
a
penetrating
Brain
,
was
also
of
this
Opinion
as
wel
as
the
rest
,
the
Herb
is
indeed
under
the
Dominion
of
Saturn
,
and
I
prove
it
by
this
Argument
.
All
the
Herbs
which
delight
most
to
grow
in
Saturnine
places
,
are
Saturnine
Herbs
.
But
Henbane
delights
most
to
grow
in
Saturnine
places
,
and
whol
Cart
loads
of
it
may
be
found
neer
the
places
where
they
empty
the
common
Jakes
,
and
scarce
a
stinking
Ditch
to
be
found
without
,
it
growing
by
it
.
Ergo
'tis
an
Herb
of
Saturn
.

HOPS
.
These
are
so
well
known
that
they
need
no
Description
,
I
mean
the
manured
kind
which
every
good
Husband
or
Huswife
is
acquainted
with
.
The
wild
Hop
groweth
up
as
the
other
doth
,
ramping
upon
Trees
or
Hedges
that
stand
next
unto
them
,
with
rough
branches
,
and
Leavs
like
the
former
;
but
it
giveth
smaller
Heads
&
in
far
less
plenty
than
it
,
so
that
there
is
scarce
a
Head
or
two
seen
in
a
year
on
divers
of
this
wild
kind
;
wherein
consisteth
the
chief
difference
.

.
They
delight
to
grow
on

moist
grounds
,

are
found
in
all

of

.
They
spring
not
up
until

,

not
until

are
not
gathered

Vertues
and
Use
.
This
Physical
operation
is
to
open
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
to
clens
the
Blood
,
to
loosen
the
Belly
,
to
clens
the
Reins
from
Gravel
,
and
provoke
Urine
.
The
Decoction
of
the
tops
of
Hops
,
as
well
of
the
tame
as
the
wild
,
worketh
the
same
effects
.
In
clensing
the
Blood
they
help
to
cure
the
French
Disease
,
and
al
manner
of
Scabs
,
Itch
,
and
other
breakings
out
in
the
Body
,
as
also
al
Tetters
,
Ringworms
,
and
spreading
Sores
,
the
Morphew
,
and
all
discolourings
of
the
Skin
.
The
Decoction
of
the
Flowers
and
tops
,
do
help
to
expel
poyson
that
any
one
hath
drunk
:
Half
a
dram
of
the
Seed
in
Pouder
taken
in
drink
,
killeth
Worms
in
the
Body
,
bringeth
down
Womens
Courses
,
and
expelleth
Urin
:
A
Syrup
made
of
the
Juyce
and
Sugar
,
cureth
the
yellow
Jaundice
,
easeth
the
Headach
that
comes
of
Heat
,
and
tempereth
the
heat
of
the
Liver
and
Stomach
,
and
is
profitably
given
in
long
and
hot
Agues
that
rise
of
Choller
and
Blood
.
Both
the
wild
and
the
manured

of
one
property
,
and
alike

Description
.
Of
this
there
are
many
kinds
,
but
I
shall
not
trouble
you
not
my
self
with
any
large
Description
of
them
,
which
to
do
,
were
but
as
the
Proverb
is
,
to
find
a
knot
in
a
Rush
;
All
the
kinds
hereof
being
nothing
else
but
knotted
Rushes
,
some
with
Leavs
and
some
without
:
Take
the
Description
of
the
most
eminent
sort
as
followeth
.
The
greater
Horstail
at
the
first
springing
hath
Heads
somwhat
like
those
of
Asparagus
,
and
after
grow
to
be
hard
,
rough
,
hollow
Stalks
,
joynted
at
sundry
places
up
to
the
top
,
a
foot
high
,
so
made
as
if
the
lower
part
were
put
into

whereat
grow
on
each
side
a
Bush
of
smal
,
long
,
Rush
-
like
hard
Leavs
,
each
part
resembling
a
Hors
Tail
(
from
whence
it
was
so
called
)
.
At
the
tops
of
the
Stalks
come
forth
smal
Catkins
like
to
those
of
Trees
.
The
Root
creepeth
under
ground
having
Joynts
at
sundry

This
(

hereof
)
groweth

.
Time
.
They
spring
up
in

,

their
blooming

the
most

then
perish
down
to
the
ground
,
rising
afresh
in
the
Spring
.
Vertues
and

.
Horstail
,
the
smoother
rather

also
easeth
the

or
Guts
,
and
is
effectual
against

Vertues
and
Use
.
A
pugil
of
the
Flowers
,
which
may
be
about
a
dram
(
saith
Dioscorides
)
drunk
twice
a
day
in
red
Wine
,
helpeth
the
Lask
and
Bloody
Flux
.
It
is
an
enemy
to
the
Nerves
and
Sinews
being
much
taken
inwardly
,
but
very
helpful
unto
them
being
outwardly
applied
.
Pliny
saith
that
the
yellow
Berries
are
good
against
the
Jaundice
,
and
taken
before
one
be
set
to
drink
hard
,
preserveth
from
drunkeness
,
and
helpeth
those
that
spit
Blood
:
and
that
the
white
Berries
being
taken
inwardly
,
or
applied
outwardly
killeth
the
Worms
in
the
Belly
.
The
Berries
are
a
singular
Remedy
to
prevent
the
Plague
,
as
also
to
free
them
from
it
that
have
got
it
,
by
drinking
the
Berries
therof
made
in
Pouder
,
for
two
or
three
daies
together
:
They
being
taken
in
Wine
do
certainly
help
to
break
the
Stone
,
provoke
Urine
and
Womens
Courses
.
The
fresh
Leavs
of
Ivy
boyled
in
Vinegar
,
and
applied
warm
to
the
sides
of
those
that
are
troubled
with
the
Spleen
,
Ach
,
or
Stitch
in
the
sides
,
doth
give
them
much
eas
:
The
same
applied
with
some
Rosewater
and
Oyl
of
Roses
to
the
Temples
and
Forehead
,
easeth
the
Headach
though
it
be
of
long
continuace
.
The
fresh
Leavs
boyled
in
Wine
,
and
old
filthy
Ulcers
that
are
hard
to
be
cured
washed
therewith
,
doth
wonderfully
help
to
clens
and
heal
them
,
it
also
quickly
healeth
green
Wounds
,
as
also
it
is
effectual
to
heal
al
Burnings
and
Scaldings
,
and
all
kinds
of
ezuicerations
coming
thereby
.
or
by
Salt
Flegm
or
hot
Humors
in
other
parts
of
the
Body
.
The
Juyce
of
the
Berries
or
Leavs
snuffed
up
into
the
Nose
,
purgeth
the
head
and
Brain
of
thin
Rhewm
that
maketh
Defluxions
into
the
Eyes
and
Nose
,
and
cureth
the
Ulcers
and
Stench
therin
:
The
same
dropped
into
the
Ears
helpeth
the
old
and
running
Sores
of
them
.
Those
that
are
troubled
with
the
Spleen
shal
find
much
eas
by
continual
drinking
out
of
a
Cup
made
of
Ivy
,
so
as
the
drink
may
stand
some
smal
time
therein
before
it
be
drunk
.
Cato
saith
,
that
Wine
put
into
such
a
Cup
wil
soak
through
it
,
by
reason
of
the
Antipathy
that
is
between
them

There
seems
to
be
a
very
Antipathy
between
Wine
and
Ivy
,
for
if
any
have
got
a
surfet
by
drinking
Wine
,
his
speediest
cure
is
to
drink
a
draught
of
the
same
Wine
wherein
a
handful
of

Leavs
being
first
bruised
have
been
boyled

Vertues
and
Use
.
Lavender
is
of
special
good
use
,
for
all
the
Griefs
and
pains
of
the
Head
and
Brains
that
proceed
of
a
cold
caus
,
as
the
Apoplexy
,
Falling
-
sickness
,
the
drowsie
or
sluggish
Malady
,
Cramps
,
Convulsions
,
Palseys
,
and
often
Faintings
.
It
strengtheneth
the
Stomach
,
and
freeth
the
Liver
and
Spleen
from
Obstructions
,
provoketh
Womens
Courses
,
and
expelleth
the
dead
Child
and
Afterbirth
.
The
Flowers
of
Lavender
steeped
in
Wine
helpeth
them
to
make
water
that
are
stopped
,
or
are
troubled
with
the
Wind
or
Chollick
,
if
the
place
be
bathed
therewith
.
A
Decoction
made
with
the
Flowers
of
Lavender
,
Horehound
,
Fennel
,
and
Asparagus
Roots
,
and
a
little
Cinnamon
is
very
profitably
used
to
help
the
Falling
-
sickness
,
and
the
giddiness
or
turning
of
the
Brain
.
To
gargle
the
Mouth
with
the
Decoction
thereof
is
good
against
the
Toothach
.
Two
spoonfuls
of
the
distilled
Water
of
the
Flowers
taken
,
helpeth
them
that
have
lost
their
voice
;
as
also

passions
of
the
Heart
,
and
faintings
and
swounings
,
not
only
being
drunk
,
but
applied
to
the
Temples
,
or
Nostrils
to
be
smelt
unto
but
it
is
not
safe
to

it
where
the
Body

Blood

becaus
of
the
hot
and
subtil
spirits
wherewith
it
is
possessed

The
Chimical
Oyl
drawn
from
Lavender
,
usually
called
Oyl
of

,
is
of
so
fierce
and
piercing
Spirits
that
it
is
cautiously
to
be
used
:
some
few
drops
being
sufficient
to
be
given
with
other

it
not

but
comforts

strengthens
those
parts
,
and
also
tempereth
the
heat

THE
WATER
-
LILLY
.
Description
.
Of
these
there
are
two
principally
noted
kinds
,
Viz
.
The
White
,
and
the
Yellow
.
The
White
Lilly
hath
very
large
,
round
and
thick
dark
green
Leavs
lying
on
the
Water
,
sustained
by
long
and
thick
Footstalks
,
that
rise
from
a
great
thick
,
round
and
long
tuberous
black
Root
,
spungy
or
loos
with
many
Knobs
thereon
like
Eyes
,
and
whitish
within
,
from
amidst
the
which
rise
other
the
like
thick
and
great
Stalks
,
sustaining
one
large
white
Flower
thereon
,
green
on
the
outside
,
but
as
white
as
Snow
within
,
consisting
of
divers
rows
of
long
,
and
somwhat
thick
and
narrow
Leavs
,
smaller
and
thinner
the
more
inward
they
be
,
encompassing
a
head
within
wth
many
yellow
threds
,
or
thrums
in
the
middle
,
where
after
they
are
past
,
stand
round
Poppy
-
like
Heads
ful
of
broad
,
Oyly
,
and
bitter
Seed
.
The
yellow
kind
is
little
different
from
the
former
save
only
it
hath
fewer
Leavs
on
the
Flowers
,
greater
and
more
shining
Seed
,
and
a
whitish
Root
,
both
within
and
without
:
The
Roots
of
both
being
somwhat
sweet
in
tast
.
Place
.
They
are
found
growing
in
great
Pools
and
standing
Waters
,
and
somtimes
in
slow

Rivers
and
lesser
Ditches
of
Water
,
in
sundry

.
They
Flower
most
commonly

,
and
their
Seed
is

in
August
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Leavs
and
Flowers
of
the
Water
-
Lillies
are
cold
and
moist
,
but
the
Root
and
Seed
is
cold
and
dry
:
The
Leavs
do
cool
al
Inflamations
,
and
both
outward
and
inward
heats
of
Agues
,
and
so
doth
the
Flowers
also
,
either
,
by
the
Syrup
or
Conserve
;
The
Syrup
helpeth
much
to
procure
rest
,
and
to
settle
the
Brains
of
Frantick
persons
,
by
cooling
the
hot
distemperature
of
the
Head
.
The
Seed
as
wel
as
the
Root
is
effectual
to
stay
Fluxes
of
Blood
or
Humors
,
either
of
Wounds
,
or
of
the
Belley
;
but
the
Roots
are
most
used
,
some
chusing
the
one
,
and
some
the
other
to
be
more
effectual
to
cool
,
bind
and
restrain
all
Fluxes
in
Man
or
Woman
,
as
also
the
running
of
the
Reins
,
and
the
passage
away
of
the
Seed
when
one
is
asleep
:
but
the
frequent
use
hereof
extinguisheth
Venerous
actions
:
The
Root
is
likewise
very
good
for
those
whose
Urine
is
hot
and
sharp
to
be
boyled
in
Wine
or
Wter
,
and
the
Decoction
drunk
.
The
Distilled
water
of
the
Flowers
is
every
effectual
for
al
the
Diseases
aforesaid
both
inwardly
taken
and
outwardly
applied
,
and
is
much
commended
to
take
away
Freckles
,
Spots
,
Sunburn
,
and
Morphew
from
the
Face
,
or
other
parts
of
the
Body
.
The
Oyl
made
of
the
Flowers
as
Oyl
of
Roses
is
made
,
is
profitably
used
to
cool
hot
Tumors
,
and
the
Inflamations
of
Ulcers
and
Wounds
and
to
eas
the

Vertues
and
Use
.
This
Herb
is
no
whit
inferior
unto
the
former
;
it
having
not
only
all
the
vertues
which
the
former
hath
,
but
some
particular
vertues
of
its
own
found
out
by
experience
,
as
namely
.
The
distilled
water
is
a
present
remedy
for
hurts
and
blows
on
the
eyes
and
for
blindness
,
so
as
the
Christaline
humor
be
not
perished
or
hurt
;
and
this
hath
been
sufficiently
proved
true
by
the
experience
of
a
man
of
judgment
,
who
kept
it
long
to
himself
as
a
great
secret
.
It
also
cleareth
the
Eyes
of
dust
or
any
other
thing
gotten
into
them
,
and
preserveth
the
Sight
:
It
is
also
very
much
available
against
Wounds
and
Thrusts
,
being
made
into
an
Oyntment
on
this
manner
;
To
every
ounce
of
the
Water
,
ad
two
drams
of
May
Butter
without
Salt
,
and
of
Sugar
and
Wax
of
each
as
much
also
,
let
them
boyl
gently
all
together
:
Let
Tents
be
dipped
in
the
Liquor
that
remaineth
after
it
is
cold
,
and
put
into
the
Wounds
,
and
the
place
covered
with
a
Linen
cloth
doubled
and
anointed
with
the
Oyntment
,
and
this
is
also
an
approved
Medicine
.
It
is
likewise
clenseth
and
healeth
all
foul
Ulcers
and
Sores
wheresoever
,
and
staieth
their
Inflamations
by
washing
them
with
the

,
and
laying
on
them
a
green

or

gargled
warm
in
the

or
in
Broth

with
Parsley

Fennel
Roots

doth
help
to
open
the
Body
,
and
is
very
convenient
in
hot
Agues
or
other
distempers
of
the
Body
to
apply
the
Leavs
so
boyled
warm
to
the
Belly
;
It
not
only
voideth
hot
Chollerick
and
other
offensive
Humors
,
but
easeth
the
pains
and
torments
of
the
Belly
coming
thereby
;
and
are
therefore
used
in
all
Clysters
conducing
to
those
purposes
:
The

,
procureth

The
Decoction
of
the
Seed
of
any
of
the
common
Mallows
,
made
in
Milk
or
Wine
doth
Merveilously
help
excoriations
,
the
Phtisick
,
Plurisie
,
and
other
Diseases
of
the
Chest
and
Lungues
that
proceed
of
hot
causes
,
if
it
be
continued
taking
for
sometime
together
:
The
Leavs
and
Roots
work
the
same
effects
:
They
help
much
also
in
the
excoriations
of
the
Guts
and
Bowels
and
hardness
of
the
Mother
,
and
in
all
hot
and
sharp
diseases
thereof
.
The
Juyce
drunk
in
Wine
,
or
the
Decoction
of
them
therein
doth
help
Women
to
a
speedy
and
easie
Delivery

Pliny
saith
,
That
whosoever
shal
take
a
spoonful
of
any
of
the
Mallows
,
shal
that
day
be
free
from
all
Diseases
that
may
come
unto
him
;
and
that
it
is
special
good
for
the
Falling
-
sickness
.
The
Syrup
also
and
Conserve
made
of
the
Flowers
are
very
effectual
for
the
same
Diseases
,
and
to
open
the
Body
being
costive
:
The
Leavs
bruised
and
laid
to
the
Eyes
with
a
little
Honey
,
taketh
away
the
Impostumations
of
them
.
The
Leavs
bruised
or
rubbed
upon
any
place
stung
with
Bees
,
Wasps
or
the
like
,
presently
taketh
away
the
pains
,
redness
,
and
Swellings
that
rise
thereupon
:
and
Dioscorides
saith
,
The
Decoction
of
the
Leavs
and
Roots
helpeth
all
sorts
of
Poyson
,
so
as
the
Poyson
be
presently
voided
by
Vomit
.
A

of

other

,

pains
of

;
as
also
against

hardness
of
the
Liver
or

,
being
applied
to
the
places
.
The
Juyce
of
the
Mallows
boyled
in
old
Oyl
and
applied
,
taketh
away
al
roughness
of
the
Skin
,
as
also
the
Scurf
,
Dandrif
,
or
dry
Scabs
in
the
Head
or
other
parts
if
they
be
anointed
therewith
,
or
washed
with
the
Decoction
,
and
preserveth
the
Hair
from

.
It
is
also

against

,
and
all

red
,
and
painful
Swellings

in
Oyl
or
Water
(
as
every

wherunto

is
an
excellent
Gargle
to

If

it
helpeth

If

The
Marsh
Mallows
are
more
effectual
in
al
the
Diseases
before
mentioned
:
The
Leavs
are
likewise
used
to
loosen
the
Belly
gently
,
and
in
Decoctions
for
Clysters
,
to
eas
al
pains
of

out
of

,
and
to
eas
the
torturing
pains
thereof
:
But
the
Roots
are
of
more
especial
use
for
those
purposes
,
as
well
as
for
Coughs
,
Hoarsness
,
shortness
of

,
and

,
being
boyled
in
Wine
or
Honeyed
Water
and
drunk
.
The
Roots
and
Seeds
hereof
boyled
in
Wine
or
Water
,
is
with
good
success
used
by
them
that
have
Excoriations
in
the
Guts
,
or
the
bloody
Flux
,
by
qualifying
the
violence
of
the
sharp
fretting
Humors
,
easing
the
pains
,
and
healing
the
Soreness
:
It
is
profitably
taken
of
them
that
are
troubled
with
Ruptures
,
Cramps
,
or
Convulsions
of
the
Sinews
;
and
boyled
in

Wine
for
the
Impostumes
of

Evil
,
and
of
those
Kernels
that
rise
behind
the
Ears
,
and
Inflamations
or
Swellings
in
Womens
Breasts
.
The
dried
Roots
boyled
in
Milk
and
drunk
is
special
good
for
the
Chin
-
Cough
.
Hippocrates
used
to
give
the
Decoction
of
the
Roots
,
or
the
Juyce
therof
to
drink
to
those
that
were
wounded
,

The

You
may
remember
that
not
long
since
there
was
a
raging
Disease
called
the
Bloody
Flux
,
the
Colledg
of
Physitians
not
knowing
what
to
make
of
it
,
called
it
the
Plague
in
the
Guts
,
for
their
wits
were
at
ne
plus
ultra
about
it
.
My
son
was
taken
with
the
same
Disease
,
and
the
excoriation
of
his
Bowels
was
exceeding
great
;
my
self
being
in
the
Country
was
sent
for
up
,
the
only
thing
I
gave
him
was
Mallows
bruised
and
boyled
both
in
his
Milk
and
Drink
,
in
two
daies
(
the
blessing
of
God
being
upon
it
)
it
cured
him
,
and
I
here
to
shew
my
thankfulness
to
God
in
communicating
it
to
his
Creatures

leav
it

in
cold
Diseases
of
the
Head
,
Stomach
,
Sinews
,
and
other
parts
,
taken
inwardly
,
or
outwardly
applied
:
The
Decoction
thereof
being
drunk
helpeth
al
the
Diseases
of
the
Chest
which
hinder
the
freeness
of
breathing
;
and
is
also
profitable
for
the
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
:
It
helpeth
the
cold
Griefs
of
the
Womb
,
and
the
windiness
thereof
,
and
the
loss
of
Speech
,
by
resolution
of
the
Tongue
.
The
Decoction
thereof
made
with
som
Pellitory

Spain
,

Pepper
,
or

a
little
Acorus
or

pains
and
torments
in

Belly
;
it
provoketh
Womens
Courses
if
it
be
put
up

a
Pessary
.
Being
made

Pouder
and
mixed
with
Honey
,
it
taketh
away
the
black
marks
of
Blows
and
Bruises
,
being
therto
applied
.
It
is
good
for
the
Inflamations
and
watering
of
the
Eyes
,
being
mixed

fine
Flower
and
laid

them
.
The
Juyce
dropped

easeth
the

It
is
profitably
put
into
those

as
the
Joynts

and
places

.
The
Pouder
thereof
snuffed
up
into
the
Nose
,
provoketh
neezing
,
and
thereby
purgeth
the
Brain
;
and
chewed

The

.
Description
.
This
Tree
groweth
neer
the
bigness
of
the
Quince
Tree
,
spreading
Branches
reasonable
large
,
with
longer
and
narrower
Leaves
than
either
the
Apple
or
Quince
,
and
not
dented
about
the
edges
:
At
the
end
of
the
Sprigs
stand
the
Flowers
made
of
Five
white
,
great
broad
pointed
Leavs
,
nicked
in
the
middle
,
with
some
white
threds
also
:
after
which
cometh
the
Fruit
,
of
a
brownish
green
colour
,
being
ripe
,
bearing
a
Crown
as
it
were
on
the
top
,
which
were
the
five
green
leaves
;
and
being
rubbed
off
or
fallen
away
,
the
head
of
the
Fruit
is
seen
to
be
somwhat
hollow
.
The
Fruit
is
very
harsh
before
it
be
mellowed
,
and
hath
usually
five
hard
Kernels
within
it
.
There
is
another
kind
hereof
differing
nothing
from
the
former
,
but
that
it
hath
some
Thorns
on
it
in
several
places
,
which
the
other
hath
not
,
and
the
Fruit
is
smal
and
not
so
pleasant
.
Time
.
They
grow
in
this
Land
;
and
Flower
in
May
for
the
most
part
,

Vertues
and
Use
.
They
are
very
powerful
to
stay
any
Fluxes
of
Blood
or
Humors
in
Man
or
Woman
:
the
Leavs
have
also
the
like
quality
.
The
Fruit
eaten
by
Women
with
Child
,
stayeth
their
longings
after
unusual
meats
,
and
is
very
effectual
for
them
that
are
apt
to
miscarrry
,
and
be
delivered
before
their
time
,
to
help
that
malady
,
and
make
them
joyful
Mothers
.
The
Decoction
of
them
is
good
to
gargle
and
wash
the
Mouth
,
Throat
and
Teeth
,
when
there
is
any
defluxion
of
Blood
to
stay
it
,
or
of
Humors
,
which
causeth
Pains
and
Swellings
:
It
is
a
good
bath
for
Women
to
sit
over
that
have
their
Courses
flow
too
abundantly
;
or
for
the

Discription
.
Having
described
unto
you
that
which
is
called
French
Mercury
,
I
come
now
to
shew
you
in
a
Description
this
kind
also
.
This
is
likewise
of
two
kinds
,
Male
and
Female
,
having
many
stalks
slender
&
lower
than
Mercury
and
without
any
branches
at
all
upon
them
:
The
Male
is
set
with
two
Leavs
at
every
Joynt
somwhat
greater
than
the
Female
,
but
more
pointed
and
full
of
Veins
,
and
somwhat
harder
in
handling
,
of
a
darker
green
colour
,
and
less
dented
or
snip'd
about
the
edges
:
At
the
Joynts
with
the
Leavs
come
forth
longer
Stalks
then
the
former
,
with
two
hairy
round
Seeds
upon
them
twice
as
big
as
those
of
the
former
Mercury
:
The
tast
hereof
is
Herby
,
and
the
smel
somwhat
strong
and
Virulent
:
The
Female
hath
much
harder
Leavs
standing
upon
longer
Footstalks
,
and
the
stalks
are
also
longer
:
From
the
Joynts
come
forth
Spikes
of
Flowers
,
like
the
French
Female
Mercury
,
The
Roots
of
them
both
are
many
,
and
full
of
smal
Fibres
,
which
run
under
ground
,
and
mat
themselves
very
much
,
not
perishing
as
the
former
Mercuries
do
,
but
abiding
the
Winter
,
and
shoot
forth
new
Branches

yeer

for
the
old

The
Male
and
Female
French
Mercury
are
found
wild
in
divers
places
of
this
Land
;
as
by
a
Village
called
Brookland
in
Rumney
Marsh
in
Kent
.
The

places

They
flourish
in
the
Summer
months
,
and

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Decoction
of
the
Leavs
of
Mercury
,
or
the
Juyce
thereof
in
Broth
,
or
Drunk
with
a
little
Sugar
put
to
it
,
purgeth
Chollerick
and
waterish
Humors
.
Hippocrates
commendeth
it
wonderfully
for
Womens
Diseases
;
and
applied
it
to
the
secret
parts
to
eas
the
pains
of
the
Mother
;
and
used
the
Decoction
of
it
both
to
procure
Womens
Courses
,
and
to
expel
the
Afterbirth
:
And
give
the
Decoction
thereof
with
Mirrh
or
Pepper
,
or
used
to
apply
the
Leavs
outwardly
against
the
Strangury
,
and
Diseases
of
the
Reins
and
Bladder
.
He
used
it
also
for
sore
and
watering
Eyes
,
and
for
the
Deafness
and
pain
in
the
Ears
,
by
dropping
the
Juyce
therof
into
them
,
and
bathing
them
afterwards
in
white
Wine
.

The
Decoction
therof
made
with
Water
and
a
Cock
Chicken
,
is
a
most
safe
Medicine
against
the
hot
fits
of
Agues
:
It
also
clenseth
the
Breast
and
Lungs
of
Flegm
,
but
a
little
offendeth
the
Stomach
:
The
Juyce
or
distilled
Water
snuffed
up
into
the
Nostrils
purgeth
the
Head
and
Eyes
of
Catarrhes
and
Rhewms
.
Some
use
to
drink
two
or
three
ounces
of
the
distilled
water
with
a
little
Sugar
put
to
it
,
in
the
morning
fasting
,
to
open
and
purge
the
Body
of
gross
viscous
and
Melancholly
Humors
.
It
is
wonderful
(
if
it
be
not
Fabulous
)
that
Dioscorides
and
Theophrastus
do
relate
of
it
:
Viz
.
That
if
Women
use
these
Herbs
either
Inwardly
or
outwardly
for
three
daies
together
after
Conception
,
and
their
Courses
be
past
,
they
shal
bring
forth
Male
or
Female
Children
,
according
to
that
kind
of
Herb
they
use
.
Mathiolus
saith
,
That
the
Seed
of
both
the
Male
and
Female
Mercury
boyled
with
Wormwood
and
drunk
,
cureth
the
yellow
Jaundice
in
a
speedy
manner
:
The
Leavs
or
the
Juyce
rubbed
upon
Warts
,
taketh
them
away
:
The
Juyce
mingled
with
some
Vinegar
,
helpeth
all
running
Scabs
,
Tetters
,
Ringworms
and
the
Itch
.
Galen
saith
that
being
applied
in
manner
of
a
Pultis
,
to
any
Swelling
or
Inflamation
,
it
digesteth
the
Swelling
and
allayeth

and
is
therfore
given
in
Clysters
to

the
Belly
from

The

Mercury
,
although

used
yet
may
serve
in
the
same
manner
to
the
same
purpose
to
purge

.
Mercury
they
say
owns
this
Herb
,
but
I
rather
think
'tis
Venus
,
and
am
partly
confident
of
it
too
,
for
I
never
read
that
Mercury
ever
minded
Womens

much
,

MINT

Description
.
Of
all
the
kinds
of
Mints
,
the
Spear
-
Mint
or
Heart
-
Mint
,
being
most
useful
;
I
shal
only
describe
it
:
as
followeth
.
Spear

hath
divers
round
Stalks
,
and
long
,

The
Flowers
stand
in
Spiked
Heads
at
the
tops
of
the
Branches
,
being
of
a
pale
blush
colour
.
The
smel
or
scent
hereof
is
somwhat
neer
unto
Bassil
.
It
encreaseth
by
the
Root
under
ground
,
as
all
the
others
do
.
Place
.
It
is
an
usual
Inhabitant
in
Gardens
;
And
becaus
it
seldom
giveth
any
good
Seed
,
the
defect
is
recompensed
by
the
plentiful
encreas
of
the
Root
,
which
being
once
planted
in
a
Garden
will
hardly
be
rid
out
again
.

.
It
Flowreth
not
until
the
beginning
of
August
,
for
the
most
part
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
Dioscorides
saith
,
It
hath
an
heating
,
binding
and
drying
quality
,
and
therefor
the
Juyce
taken
with
Vinegar
,
staieth
Bleeding
:
It
stirreth
up
Venery
or
Bodily
lust
:
Two
or
three
Branches
thereof
taken
with
the
Juyce
of
sowr
Pomegranates
stayeth
the
Hiccough
,
Vomiting
,
and
allayeth
Choller
:
It
dissolveth
Impostumes
being
laid
too
with
Barley
Meal
.
It
is
good
to
repress
the
Milk
in
Womens
Breasts
,
and
for
such
as
have
swollen
,
flagging
,
or
great
Breasts
:
applied
with
Salt
,
it
helpeth
the
biting
of
a
Mad
Dog
;
with
Mead
or
Honeyed
Water
,
it
easeth
the
pains
of
the
Ears
and
taketh
away
the
roughness
of
the
Tongue
being
rubbed
thereupon
.
It
suffereth
not
Milk
to
curdle
in
the
Stomach
if
the
Leavs
hereof
be
steeped
or
boyled
in
it
before
you
drink
it
.
Briefly
it
is
very
profitable
to
the
Stomach
:
The
often
use
hereof
is
a
very
powerful
Medicine
to
stay
Womens
Courses
,
and
the
Whites
.
Applied
to
the
Forehead
or
Temples
,
it
easeth
pains
of
the
Head
.
And
is
good
to
wash
the
Heads
of
yong
Children
therewith
,
against
all
manner
of
breakings
out
,
Sores
,
or
Scabs
therein
;
and
healeth
the
chops
of
the
Fundament
.
It
is
also
profitable
against
the
Poyson
of
Venemous
Creatures
.

The

Pliny

This

it

parting
it
self
into

,
and
they
again
devided
into
many

At

Vertues
and
Use
.
Both
the
Leavs
and
Berries
of
Mistleto
do
heat
and
dry
,
and
are
of
subtil
parts
:
The
Birdlime
doth
mollifie
hard
Knots
,
Tumors
,
and
Impostumes
,
ripeneth
and
discusseth
them
;
and
draweth
forth
thick
as
well
as
thin
Humors
from
the
remote
places
of
the
Body
,
digesting
and
separating
them
:
And
being
mixed
with
equal
parts
of
Rozin
and
Wax
,
doth
mollifie
the
hardness
of
the
Spleen
,
and
healeth
old
Ulcers
and
Sores
:
Being
mixed
with
Sandarack
,
and
Ortment
,
it
helpeth
to
draw
off
foul
Nails
:
and
if
quicklime
and
Wine
Lees
be
added
thereunto
it
worketh
the
stronger
.
The
Mistleto
it
self
of
the
Oak
(
as
the
best
)
made
into
Pouder
and
given
in
drink
to
those
that
have
the
Falling
-
sickness
,
doth
assuredly
heal
them
as
Mathiolus
saith
,
but
it
is
fit
to
use
it
for
forty
daies
together
.
Some
have
so
highly
esteemed
of
the
Vertues
hereof
that
they
have
called
it
Lignum
Sanctae
Crucus
,
Wood
of
the
holy
Cross
,
beleeving
it
to
help
the
Falling
-
sickness
,
Apoplexie
,
and
Palsie
very
speedily
,
not
only
to
be
inwardly
taken
,
but
to
be
hung
at
their
Necks

Tragus
saith
,
That
the
fresh
Wood

any
Mistleto
bruised
,
and
the
Joyce
drawn
forth
and
dropped
into
the
Ears
that

That
it
is
under
the
Dominion
of
the
Sun
,
I
do
not
question
,
and
can
also
take
for
granted
that
that
which
grows
upon
Oaks
participates
somthing
of
the
Nature
of
Jupiter
,
becaus
an
Oak
is
one
of
his
Trees
;
as
also
that
which
grows
upon
Pear
-
trees
and
Apple
-
trees
,
participates
somthing
of
the
Nature
,
becaus
he
rules
the
Trees
,
and
it
draws
sap
from
the
Trees
,
it
grows
upon
having
no
Root
of
its
own
,
but
why
that
should
have
most
vertues
that
grows
upon
Oaks
I
know
not
,
unless
becaus
'tis
rarest
,
and
hardest
to
come
by
,
and
our
Colledges
Opinion
is
in
this
contrary
to
the
Scripture
which
saith
,
Gods
tender
Mercies
are
over
all
his
Works
,
and
so
'tis
,
Let
the
Colledg

walk

contrary
to
him
as
they
pleas

and
that's
as
contrary
as

West
.
Clusius
affirms
that

to
be

prevalent
,

give
order
that

should
not

a

to
expel

The
Tree
-
Mosses
are
cooling
and
binding
,
and
partake
of
a
digesting
and
mollifying
quality
withal
,
as
Galen
saith
.
But
each
Moss
doth
partake
of
the
Nature
of
the
Tree
from
whence
it
is
taken
;
therefore
that
of
the
Oak
is
more
Binding
;
and
is
of
good
effect
to
stay
Fluxes
in
man
or
Woman
,
as
also
Vomitings
or
Bleedings
,
the
Pouder
thereof
being
taken
in
Wine
:
The
Decoction
thereof
in
Wine
is
very
good
for
Women
to
be
bathed
with
,
or
to
sit
in
that
are
toubled
with
the
overflowing
of
their
Courses
:
The
same
being
drunk
stayeth
the
Stomach
that
is
troubled
with
casting
,
or
the
Hiccough
;
and
as
Avicenna
saith
,
it
comforteth
the
Heart
:
The
Pouder
thereof
taken
in
Drink
for
some
time
together
,
is
thought
available
for
the
Dropsie
.
The
Oyl
of
Roses
that
hath
had
fresh
Moss
steeped
therin
for
a
time
,
and
after
boyled
and
applied
to
the
Temples
and
Forehead
,
doth
Merveilously
eas
the
Headach
coming
of
a
hot
caus
,
as
also
the
Distillations
of
hot
Rhewm
or
Humors
to
the
Eyes
or
other
parts
:
The
Antients
much
used
it
in
their
Oyntments
and
other
Medicines
against
Lassitude
,
and
to
strengthen
and
comfort
the
Sinews
.
For
which
,
if
it
was
good
then
,
I
know
no
reason
but
it
may
be
found
so
still

Vertues
and
Use
.
This
Common
Nighshade
is
wholly
used
to
cool
all
hot
Inflamations
either
inwardly
or
outwardly
,
being
no
way
dangerous
to
any
that
shall
use
it
,
as
most
of
the
rest
of
the
Nightshades
are
;
yet
it
must
be
used
moderately
:
The
distilled
water
only
of
the
whol
Herb
is
fittest
and
safest
to
be
taken
inwardly
.
The
Juyce
also
clarified
and
taken
being
mingled
with
a
little
Vinegar
,
is
good
to
wash
the
Mouth
and
Throat
that
is
inflamed
:
But
outwardly
the
Juyce
of
the
Herb
or
Berries
with
Oyl
of
Roses
,
and
a
little
Vinegar
and
Ceruss
labored
together
in
a
leaden
Morter
,
is
very
good
to
anoint
all
hot
Inflamations
in
the
Eyes
;
It
doth
also
much
good
for
the
Shingles
,
Ringworms
,
and
in
all
running
fretting
,
and
corroding
Ulcers
,
and
in
moist
Fistulaes
,
if
the
Juyce
be
made
up
with
some
Hens
dung
and
applied
thereto
:
A
Pessary
dipp'd
in
the
Juyce
,
and
put
up
into
the
Matrix
stayeth
the
immoderate
Flux
of
Womens
Courses
:
A
Cloth
wet
therein
and
applied
to
the
Testicles
or
Cods
,
upon
any
Swelling
therein
giveth
much
eas
,
as
also
to
the
Gout
that
cometh
of
hot
and
sharp
Humors
.
The
Juyce
dropped
into
the
Ears
,
easeth
pains
therin
that
arise
of
heat
or
Inflamation
.
And
Pliny
saith
,
it
is
good
for
hot
Swellings

Hippocrates
saith
,
he
used
the
fumes
of
Oak
Leavs
to
Women
that
were
troubled
with
the
strangling
of
the
Mother
;
and
Galen
applied
them
being
bruised
to
cure
green
Wounds
.
The
Distilled
water
of
the
Oaken
Buds
before
they
break
out
into
Leavs
,
is
good
to
be
used
either
inward
,
or
outwardly
,
to
asswage
Inflamations
and
stop
all
manner
of
Fluxes
in
man

:
The
same
is
singular
good
in

Feavers
,
for
it
resisteth
the
force
of
the
infection

allayeth

it
cooleth
the
heat
of

Liver

breaketh

The

The

yet
they
do
somwhat
provoke

They
also
kill
the
Worms
in
Children

have
been
steeped
all
night
.
Being
roasted
under

eaten
with
Honey
,
or
Sugar
and
Oyl
they
much
conduce
to

The
Juyce
being
snuffed
up
into

purgeth
the
Head
and
helpeth
the
Lethargy
(
yet
the
often
eating
of
them
is
said
to
procure
pains
in
the
Head
)
It
hath
been
held
with
divers
Country
people
a
good
preservative
against
Infection
to
eat
Onions
fasting
with
Bread
and
Salt
:
as
also
to
make
a
great
Onion
hollow
,
filling
the
place
with
good
Triacle
,
and
after
to
roast
it
well
under

which
after
taking

being
beaten

,
is
a
Soveraign
Salve

ORPINE
.
Description
.
Common
Orpine
riseth
up
with
diverse
round
brittle
Stalks
,
thick
set
with
fat
and
fleshy
Leavs
without
any
order
,
and
little
or
nothing
dented
about
the
edges
,
of
a
pale
green
colour
;
The
Flowers
are
white
or
whitish
growing
in
tufts
,
after
which
come
small
chaffy
Husks
,
with
Seed
like
dust
in
them
.
The
Roots
are
diverse
thick
,
round
white
tuberous
clogs
;
and
the
Plant
groweth
not
to
big
in
some
places
as
in
others
where
it
is
found
.
Place
.
It
is
frequent
almost
in
every
Country
of
this
Land
,
and
is
cherished
in
Gardens
with
us
,
where
it
groweth
greater
than
that
which
is
wild
,
and
groweth
in
the
shadowy
sides
of
Fields
and
Woods
.
Time
.
It
Flowreth
about
July
and
the
Seed
is
ripe
in
August
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
Orpine
is
seldom
used
in
inward
Medicines
with
us
,
although
Tragus
saith
from
experience
in
Germany
that
the
distilled
water
thereof
is
profitable
for
gnawings
or
excoriations
in
the
Stomach
or
Bowels
,
and
for
Ulcers
in
the
Lungs
,
Liver
,
or
other
inward
parts
,
as
also
in
the
Matrix
,
and
helpeth
all
those
Diseases
,
being
drunk
for
certain
daies
together
:
And
that
is
stayeth
the
sharpness
of
Humors
in
the
Bloody
Flux
,
and
other
Fluxes
in
the
Body
,
or
in
Wounds
:
The
Root
thereof
also
performeth
the
same
effect
.
It
is
used
outwardly
to
cool
any
heat
or
Inflamation
upon
any
Hurt
or
Wound
,
and
easeth
the
pains
of
them
:
as
also
to
heal
Scaldings
or
Burnings
:
The
Juyce
thereof
beaten
with
some
green
Sallet
Oyl
,
and
anointed
:
The
Leaf
also
bruised
and
laid
to
any
green
Wound
in
the
Hands
or
Legs
,
doth
heal
them
quickly
;
and
being
bound
to
the
Throat
,
much
helpeth
the
Quinsie
.
It
helpeth
also
Ruptures
and
Burstiness
.
Excoriation
of
Bowels
,
Phtisick
,
Womb
,
Bloody
Flux
,
Wounds
,
Inflamation
,
Scalding
,
Burnings
,
Quinsie
,
Ruptures
.
If
you
pleas
to
make
the
Juyce
into
a
Syrup
with
Honey
or
Sugar
,
you
may
safely
take
a
spoonful
or
two
at
a
time
(
let
my
Author
say
what
he
will
)
for
a
Quinsie
,
and
you
shall
find
the
Medicine
more
pleasant
,
and
the
Cure
more
speedy
,
than
if
you
took
a
Dogs
-
turd
which
is
the
Learned
Colledges
vulgar
Cure
.
The
Moon
owns
the
Herb
,
and
he
that
knows
but
her
Exaltation

knows
what
I
say
is
true

PARSLEY
.
This
is
so
well
known
to
be
an
Inhabitant
in
every
Garden
,
that
it
is
needless
to
write
any
Description
of
it
.
The
vertues
of
it
being
many
are
as
followeth
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
It
is
very
comfortable
to
the
Stomach
,
and
helpeth
to
provoke
Urine
and
Womens
Courses
,
and
to
break
wind
both
in
the
Stomach
and
Bowels
,
and
doth
a
little
open
the
Body
,
but
the
Root
much
more
,
and
openeth
Obstructions
both
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
and
is
therfore
accounted
one
of
the
five
opening
Roots
;
Galen
commendeth
it
against
the
Falling
-
sickness
,
and
to
provoke
Urine
mightily
,
especialy
if
the
Roots
be
boyled
and
eaten
like
Parsnips
.
The
Seed
is
effectual
to
provoke
Urine
and
Womens
Courses
,
to
expel
wind
,
to
break
the
Stone
,
and
eas
the
pains
and
torments
thereof
,
or
of
any
other
part
in
the
Body
occasioned
by
Wind
.
It
is
also
effectual
against
the
Venom
of
any
poysonfull
Creature
,
and
the
danger
that
cometh
to
them
that
have
taken
Litharge
,
and
is
good
against
the
Cough
.
The
distilled
water
of
Parsley
is
a
familiar
Medicine
with
Nurses
to
give
their
Children
when
they
are
troubled
with
wind
in
the
Stomach
or
Belly
,
which
they
call
the
frets
,
and
is
also
much
available
to
them
that
are
of
greater
yeers
.
The
Leavs
of
Parsley
laid
to
the
Eyes
that
are
inflamed
with
heat
or
swoln
,
doth
much
help
them
,
if
it
be
used
with
Bread
or
Meal
;
and
being
fryed
with
Butter
and
applied
to
Womens
Breasts
that
are
hard
through
the
curdling
of
their
Milk
,
it
abateth
the
hardness
quickly
,
and
also
it
taketh
away
black
and
blue
marks
coming
of
Bruises
or
Falls
.
The
Juyce
thereof
dropped
into
the
Ears
with
a
little
Wine
easeth
the
pains
.
Tragus
setteth
down
an
excellent
Medicine
to
help
the
Jaundice
and
Falling

,
the
Dropsie
,
and

PARSNIP
.
The
Garden
kind
hereof
is
so
well
known
(
the
Root
being
commonly
eaten
)
that
I
shal
not
trouble
you
with
any
Description
of
it
.
But
the
wild
kind
being
of
more
Physical
use
,
I
shall
in
this
place
describe
unto
you
.
Description
.
The
wild
Parsnip
differeth
little
from
the
Garden
kind
,
but
groweth
not
so
fair
and
large
,
nor
hath
so
many
Leavs
;
and
the
Root
is
shorter
,
more
woody
and
not
so
fit
to
be
eaten
,
and
therefore
the
more
Medicinable
.
Place
.
The
name
of
the
first
sheweth
the
place
of
its
growth
,
Viz
.
In
Gardens
.
The
other
groweth
wild
in
divers
places
,
as
in
the
Marshes
by
Rochester
and
elswhere
,
and
flowreth
in
July
;
the
Seed
being
ripe
about
the
beginning
of
August
,
the
second
yeer
after
the
sowing
:
for
if
they
do
flower
the
first
yeer
the
Country
people
call
them
Madneps
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Garden
Parsnep
nourisheth
much
,
and
is
good
and
wholsom
Nourishment
,
but
a
little
windy
,
whereby
it
is
thought
to
procure
bodily
lust
:
but
it
fatneth
the
Body
much
if
much
used
.
It
is
conducible
to
the
Stomach
and
Reins
,
and
provoketh
Urine
.
But
the
wild
Parsnep
hath
a
cutting
,
attenuating
,
clensing
and
opening
quality
therein
:
It
resisteth
and
helpeth
the
bitings
of
Serpents
,
easeth
pains
and
Stitches
in
the
sides
,
and
dissolveth
wind
both
in
the
Stomach
and
Bowels
,
which
is
the
Chollick
,
and
provoketh
Urine
.
The
Root
is
often
used
,
but
the
Seed
much
more
.
Lust

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Seed
hereof
as
Galen
saith
is
of
sharp

and
is
therefore
a
fit
Medicine
for
the
Cough
and
shortness
of
Breath
,
the
Falling

and
the

.
The
Root
is

.
The
Seed

THE
PEACH
-
TREE
.
Description
.
The
Peach
-
tree
groweth
not
so
great
as
the
Apricock
-
tree
,
yet
spreadeth
Branches
reasonable
well
,
from
whence
spring
smaller
reddish
twigs
,
whereon
are
set
long
and
narrow
green
leavs
dented
about
the
edges
.
The
Blossoms
are
greater
than
the
Plum
,
and
of
a
light
Purple
colour
.
The
Fruit
round
,
and
somtimes
as
big
as
a
reasonable
Pippin
,
others
are
smaller
,
as
also
differing
in
colours
and

,
as
russet

or

waterish
or
firm
,
with
a
frieze
or
Cotton
all

,
with
a
cleft
therein
like
an
Apricock
,
and
a
rugged
furrowed
great
Stone
within
it
,
and
a
bitter
Kernel
within
the
Stone
:
It

.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Leavs
of
Peaches
bruised
and
laid
on
the
Belly
killeth
Worms
;
and
so
they
do
also
being
boyled
in
Ale
and
drunk
,
and
open
the
Belly
likewise
;
and
being
dried
is
a
safe
Medicine
to
discuss
Humors
.
The
Pouder
of
them
strewed
upon
fresh
bleeding
Wounds
,
stayeth
their
bleeding
and
closeth
them
up
.
The
Flowers
steeped
all
night
in
a
little
Wine
standing
warm
,
strained
forth
in
the
morning
and
drunk
fasting
,
doth
gently
open
the
Belly
and
move
it
downwards
.
A
Syrup
made
of
them
as
the
Syrup
of
Roses
is
made
,
worketh
more
forcibly
than
that
of
Roses
,
for
it
provoketh
Vomiting
,
and
spendeth
waterish
and
Hydropick
Humors
by
the
continuance
thereof
.
The
Flowers
made
into
a
Conserve
worketh
the
same
effect
.
The
Liquor
that
droppeth
from
the
Tree
being
wounded
,
is
given
in
the
Decoction
of
Coltsfoot
,
to
those
that
are
troubled
with
the
Cough
or
shortness
of
breath
,
by
adding
thereto
some
sweet
Wine
;
and
putting
some
Saffron
also
therin
,
it
is
good
for
those
that
are
hoarce
or
have
lost
their
voice
;
helpeth
all
defects
of
the
Lungs
,
and
those
that
vomit
or
spit
blood
.
Two
drams
thereof
given
in
the
Juyce
of
Lemmons
or
of
Radish
,
is
good
for
those
that
are
troubled
with
the
Stone
.
The
Kernels
of
the
Stones
do
wonderfully
eas
the
pains
and
wringings
of
the
Belly
through
wind
or
sharp
Humors
,
and
help
to
make
an
excellent
Medicine
for
the
Stone
upon
all
occasions
,
on
this
manner
:
Take
fifty
Kernels
of
Peach
Stones
,
and
one
hundred
of
the
Kernels
of
Cherry
Stones
,
a
handful
of
Elder
Flowers
,
fresh
or
dried
,
and
three
pints
of
Muscadine
,
set
them
in
a
closed
pot
into
a
bed
of
Horse
dung
for
ten
daies
,
which
after
distill
in
Glass
with
a
gentle
fire
,
and
keep
it
for
your
use
;
you
may
drink
upon
occasion
three
or
four
ounces
at
a
time
.
The
Milk
or
Cream
of
these
Kernels
being
drawn
forth
with
some
Vervain
Water
,
and
applied
to
the
Forehead
and
Temples
,
doth
much
help
to
procure
rest
and
sleep
to
sick
persons
wanting
it
.
The
Oyl
drawn
frm
the
Kernels
,
the
Temples
being
therewith
anointed
doth
the
like
:
The
said
Oyl
put
into
Clysters
easeth
the
pains
of
the
wind
Chollick
,
and
anointed
on
the
lower
part
of
the
Belly
doth
the
like
,
and
dropped
into
the
Ears
easeth
the
pains
of
them
:
The
Juyce
of
the
Leavs
doth
the
like
:
being
also
anointed
on
the
Forehead
and
Temples
,
it
helpeth
the
Megrim
and
all
other
pains
in
the
Head
.
If
the
Kernels
be
bruised
and
boyled
in
Vinegar
until
they
become
thick
,
and
appliled
to
the
Head
,
it

Lady

by
it

nothing
is

than
the
Leavs

delight
to

regard

such
as
love
their
health

let
them
regard
what
I
say
,
they
may
safely
give
two

Description
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
For
their
Physical
use
they
are
best
discerned
by
their
tasts
:
All
the
sweet
or
lushious
sorts
whether
manured
or
wild
,
do
help
to
move
the
Belly
downward
more
or
less
:
Those
that
are
harsh
and
sowr
do
on
the
contrary
bind
the
Belly
as
much
;
and
the
Leavs
do
so
also
.
Those
that
are
moist
do
in
some
sort
cool
,
but
harsh
or
wild
sorts
much
more
,
and
are
very
good
in
repelling
Medicines
:
as
if
the
wild
sorts
be
boyled
with
Mushroms
,
it
maketh
them
the
less
dangerous
.
The
said
Pears
boyled
with
a
little
Honey
,
helpeth
much
the
oppressed
Stomach
,
as
al
sorts
of
them
do
,
some
more
,
some
less
;
but
the
harsher
sorts
do
most
cool
and
bind
,
serving
well
to
be
bound
to
green
wounds
to
cool
and
stay
the
Blood
,
and
heal
up
the
wound
without
further
trouble
or
Inflamation
;
as
Galen
saith
he
hath
found
by
experience
.
And
wild
Pears
do
sooner
close
up
the
Lips
of
green
Wounds
than
the
others
.
Mushroms
,
Stomach
,
Inflamations
,
Cool
,
Bind
,
Wounds
.
Schola
Salerni
adviseth
to
drink
much
Wine
after
Pears
,
or
els
(
they
say
)
they
are
as
bad
as
poyson
,
nay
and
they
curs
the
Tree
for
it
too
,
but
if
a
poor
man
find
his
Stomach
oppressed
by
eating
Pears
'tis
but
working
hard
and
it
will
do
as
wel
as
drinking
Wine
.

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
dried
Herb
Pellitory
made
up
into
an
Electuary
with
Honey
,
or
the
Juyce
of
the
Herb
,
or
the
Decoction
thereof
made
up
with
Sugar
or
Honey
,
is
a
singular
Remedy
for
any
old
or
dry
Cough
,
the
shortness
of
breath
,
and
Wheesing
in
the
Throat
.
Three
ounces
of
the
Juyce
thereof
taken
at
a
time
,
doth
wonderfully
help
stopping
of
the
Urine
and
to
expel
the
Stone
or
Gravel
in
the
Kidneys
or
Bladder
:
and
is
therefore
usually
put
among
other
Herbs
,
used
in
Clisters
to
mitigate
pains
in
the
Back
,
Sides
,
or
Bowels
proceeding
of
wind
,
stopping
of
Urine
,
the
Gravel
or
Stone
as
aforesaid
:
If
the
bruised
Herb
sprinkled
with
some
Muskadine
be
warmed
upon
a
Tile
;
or
in
a
Dish
upon
a
few
quick
coals
in
a
Chafing
-
dish
,
and
applied
to
the
Belly
,
it
worketh
the
same
effect
.
The
Decoction
of
the
Herb
being
drunk
,
easeth
pains
of
the
Mother
,
and
bringeth
down
Womens
Courses
;
it
also
easeth
those
griefs
that
arise
from
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
and
Reins
:
The
same
Decoction
with
a
little
Honey
added
thereto
is
good
to
gargle
a
sore
Throat
.
The
Juyce
held
a
while
in
the
Mouth
,
easeth
pains
in
the
Teeth
.
The
distilled
water
of
the
Herb
drunk
with

Description
.
The
Male
Peony
riseth
up
with
many
brownish
Stalks
,
whereon
grow
many
fair
green
and
somtimes
reddish
Leavs
,
one
set
against
another
upon
a
Stalk
without
any
particular
devision
in
the
Leaf
at
all
.
The
Flowers
stand
at
the
tops
of
the
Stalks
,
consisting
of
five
or
six
broad
Leavs
,
of
a
fair
purplish
red
colour
,
with
many
yellow
threds
in
the
middle
standing
about
the
Head
,
which
after
riseth
to
be
the
Seed
Vessels
,
devided
into
two
,
three
,
or
four
rough
crooked
Pods
like
Horns
,
which
being
ful
ripe
,
open
,
and
turn
themselves
down
one
edge
to
another
backward
,
shewing
within
them
divers
round
,
black
shining
Seed
,
having
also
many
red
or
Crimson
grains
,
intermixed
with
the
black
,
whereby
it
maketh
a
very
pretty
shew
.
The
Roots
are
great
,
thick
,
and
long
,
spreading
and
running
down
reasonable
deep
in
the
Ground
.
The
ordinary
Female
Peony
hath
many
Stalks
and
more
Leavs
on
them
than
the
Male
:
the
Leavs
not
so
large
but
nicked
diversly
on
the
edges
,
some
with
great
and
deep
,
others
with
smaller
cuts
and
devisions
,
of
a
dark
or
dead
green
colour
.
The
Flowers
are
of
a
strong
heady
scent
,
most
usually
smaller
and
of
a
more
purple
colour
than
the
Male
,
with
yellow
thrums
about
the

as
the
Male
hath
.
The
Seed
Vessels
are
like
Horns
as
in
the
Male

but
smaller
,
the
Seed
also
is
black
but
less
shining
.
The
Roots
consist
of
many
thick
and
short
tuberous
clogs
,
fastned
at
the
ends
of
long
strings
and
all
from
the
Head
of
the
root
which
is
thick
and
short
,
and
of

like
scent
with
the
Male
.

.
They
grow

and

usually
about
May
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Root
of
the
Male
Peony
fresh
gathered
,
hath
been
found
by
experience
to
cure
the
Falling
-
sickness
;
but
the
surest
way
is
(
besides
hanging
it
about
the
Neck
,
by
which
Children
have
been
cured
)
to
take
the
Root
of
the
Male
Peony
washed
clean
and
stamped
somwhat
smal
,
and
lay
it
to
infuse
in
Sack
for
twenty
four
Hours
,
at
the
least
,
after
strain
it
,
and
take
first
and
last
,
morning
and
evening
a
good
draught
for
sundry
daies
together
before
and
after
a
full
Moon
,
and
this
will
also
cure
older
persons
,
if
the
Disease
be
not
grown
too
old
and
past
cure
,
especially
if
there
be
a
due
and
orderly
preparation
of
the
Body
,
with
Posset
drink
made
of
Betony
&c
.
The
Root
is
also
effectual
for
Women
that
are
not
sufficiently
clensed
after
Childbirth
,
and
such
as
are
troubled
with
the
Mother
;
for
which
likewise
the
black
Seed
beaten
to
Pouder
and
given
in
Wine
,
is
also
available
.
The
black
Seed
also
taken
before
bed
time
,
and
in
the
morning
,
is
very
effectual
for
such
as
in
their
sleep
are
troubled
with
the
Disease
called
Ephialtes
or
Incubus
,
but
we
do
commonly
cal
it
the
Night
-
Mare
;
a
diseas
which
Melancholly
persons
are
subject
unto
;
It
is
also
good
against
Melanchollick
Dreams
.
The
Distilled
water
,
or
Syrup
made
of
the
Flowers
,
worketh
the
same
effects
that
the
Root
and
the
Seed
do
,
although
more
weakly
.
The
Female
is
often
used
for
the
purposes
aforesaid
,
by
reason
the
Male
is
so
scarce
a
Plant
that
it
is
possessed
by
few
,
and
those
great
Lovers
of
rarities

this
kind

Name
.
If
Superstition
had
not
been
the
Father
of
Tradition
,
as
well
as
Ignorance
the
Mother
of
Devotion
,
this
Herb
as
well
as
St
.
Johns
wort
had
found
some
other
name
to
be
known
by
;
but
we
may
say
of
our
Fore
-
fathers
as
St
.
Paul
of
the
Athenians
,
I
perceive
that
in
many
things
you
are
too
Superstitious
:
Yet
seing
it
is
come
to
that
pass
,
that
Custom
having
gotten
possession
pleads
Prescription
for
the
name
,
I
shall
let
it
pass
,
and
come
to
the
Description
of
the
Herb
,
which
take
as
followeth
.
Description
.
It
riseth
up
with
square
upright
Stalks
for
the
most
part
,
somwhat
greater
and
higher
than
St
.
Johns
wort
(
and
good
reason
too
,
St
.
Peter
being
the
greater
Apostle
(
ask
the
Pope
else
)
for
though
God
would
have
the
Saints
equal
,
the
Pope
is
of
another
Opinion
)
but
brown
in
the
same
manner
,
having
two
Leavs
at
every
Joynt
,
somwhat
like
,
but
larger
than
St
.
Johns
wort
,
and
a
little
rounder
pointed
with
few
or
no
Holes
to
be
seen
therein
,
and
having
somtimes
some
smaller
Leavs
rising
from
the
Bosom
of
the
greater
,
and
somtimes
a
little
hairy
also
:
At
the
tops
of
the
Stalks
stand
many
Starlike
Flowers
,
with
yellow
threds
in
the
middle
very
like
those
of
St
.
Johns
wort
,
insomuch
that
this
is
hardly
discerned
from
it
but
only
by
the
largeness
of
height
,
the
Seed
being
also
alike
in
both
.
The
Root
abideth
long
sending
forth
new
shoots
every
yeer
.
Place
.
It
groweth
in
many
Groves
and
small
low
Woods
,
in
divers
places
of
this
Land
,
as
in
Kent
,
Huntington
,
Cambridg
,
and
Northampton
shires
,
as
also
neer
water
Courses
in
other
places
.
Time
.
It
Flowreth
in
June
and
July
,
and
the
Seed
is
ripe
in
August
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
It
is
of
the
same
property
with
St
.
Johns
wort
,
but
somwhat
weak
,
and
therefore
more
seldom
used
.
Two
drams
of
the
Seed
taken
at
a
time
in
Honeyed
water
,
purgeth
Chollerick
Humors
(
as
saith
Dioscorides
,
Pliny
,
and
Galen
)
and
thereby
helpeth
those
that
are
troubled
with
the
Sciatica
:
The
Leavs
are
used
as
St
.
Johns
wort
,
to
help
those
places
of
the
Body
that
have
been
burnt
with
Fire
.
Chollerick
Humors
,
Sciatica
,
Burnings
.
There
is
not
a
straw
to
chuse
between
this
and
St
.
Johns
wort
,
only
St
.
Peter
must
have
it
,
lest
he
should

square
Stalks
lying
on
the
ground
beset
all
along
with
two
smal
and
almost
round
Leavs
at
every
Joynt
one
against
another
,
very
like
Chickweed
,
but
hath
no
Footstalks
,
for
the
Leavs
do
as
it
were
compass
the
Stalk
:
The
Flowers
stand
singly
each
by
themselves
at
them
and
the
Stalks
,
consisting
of
five
round
small
pointed
Leavs
of
a
fine
pale
red
colour
,
tending
to
an
Orange

with
so
many
threds
in
the
middle
,
in
whose
places
succeed
,
smooth
round
Heads
,
wherein
is
contained
smal
Seed
.
The
Root
is
smal
and
fibrous
perishing
every
yeer
.
Place
.
It
groweth
every
where
almost
,
as
well
in
the
Meadows
and
Cornfields
,
as
by
the
Waysides
,
and
in
Gardens
arising
of
it
self

It
Flowreth
from
May

,
and
the
Seed
ripeneth
in
the
mean
time
and
falleth

Vertues
and
Use
.
This
is
of
a
clensing
and
attractive
quality
,
whereby
it
draweth
forth
Thorns
or
Splinters
,
or
other
such
like
things
gotten
into
the
Flesh
,
and
put
up
into
the
Nostrils
purgeth
the
Head
;
and
Galen
saith
also
they
have
a
drying
faculty
,
whereby
they
are
good
to
soder
the
lips
of
Wounds
,
and
to
clens
foul
Ulcers
.
The
distilled
Water
or
Juyce
is
much
esteemed
by
French
Dames
to
clense
the
Skin
from
any
roughness
,
deformity
,
or
discolouring
thereof
:
Being
boyled
in
Wine
,
and
given
to
drink
,
it
is
a
good
Remedy
against
the
Plague
,
and
other
Pestilential
Feavers
,
if
the
Party
after
taking
it
warm
lie
in
his
bed
and
sweat
for
two
hours
after
,
and
use
the
same
twice
at
least
.
It
helpeth
also
all
stingings
and
bitings
of
Venemous
Beasts
or
mad
Dogs
,
being
used
inwardly
and
applied
outwardly
:
The
same
also
openeth
the
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
,
and
is
very
available
against
the
Infirmities
of
the
Reins
,
it
provoketh
Urine
,
and
helpeth
to
expel
the
Stone
and
Gravel
out
of
the
Kidneys
and
Bladder
,
and
helpeth
much
in
all
inward
Wounds
and
Ulcers
.
The
Decoction
or
distilled
Water
is
no
less
effectual
to
be
applied
to
all
wounds
that
are
fresh
and
green
,
or
old
filthy
fretting
and
running
Ulcers
,
which
it
very
effectually
cureth
in
short
spaces
.
A
little
Honey
mixed
with
the
Juyce
and
dropped
into
the
Eyes
clenseth
them
from
cloudy
mists
,
or
thick
Films
which
grow
over
them
and
hinder
the
sights
:
It
helpeth
the
Toothach
being
dropped
into
the
Ear
on
the
contrary
side
of
the
pain
.
It
is
also
effectual
to
eas
the

Our
common
Ground
Pine

seldom
rising
above

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Decoction
of
Ground
Pine
drunk
,
doth
wonderfully
prevail
against
the
Strangury
or
any
inward
pains
arising
from
the
Diseases
of
the
Reins
and
Urine
,
and
is
especial
good
for
all
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
and
gently
openeth
the
Body
,
for
which
purpose
they
were
wont
in
former
times
to
make
Pills
with
the
Pouder
thereof
,
and
the
Purple
Figs
.
It
marveilously
helpeth
all
the
Diseases
of
the
Mother
used
inwardly
,
or
applied
outwardly
,
procuring
Womens
Courses
,
and
expelling
the
dead
Child
and
afterbirth
,
yea
it
is
so
powerful
upon
those
Feminine
parts
that
it
is
utterly
forbidden
to
Women
with
Child
,
in
that
it
will
caus
abortment
or
delivery
before
the
time
:
It
is
as
effectual
also
in
all
pains
and
Diseases
of
the
Joynts
,
as
Gouts
,
Cramps
,
Palseys
,
Sciatica
,
and
Aches
;
either
the
Decoction
of
the
Herb
in
Wine
taken
inwardly
,
or
applied
outwardly
,
or
both
for
some
time
together
,
for
which
purpose
the
Pills
made
with
the
Pouder
of
Ground
Pine
,
and
of
Hermodactils
with
Venice
Turpentine
are
very
effectual
.
These
Pills
also
are
special
good
for
those
that
have
the
Dropsie
,
to
be
continued
for
some
time
.
The
same
is
a
special
good
help
for
the
Jaundice
,
and
for
griping
pains
in
the
Joynts
,
Belly
,
or
inward
parts
:
It
helpeth
also
all
Diseases
of
the
Brain
proceeding
of
cold
and
Flegmatick
Humors
and
Distillations
,
as
also
for
the
Falling
-
sickness
.
It
is
an
especial
Remedy
for
the
Poyson
of
the
Aconites
of
all
sorts
,
and
other
poisonful
Herbs
,
as
also
against
the
stinking
of
any
Venemous
Creature
:
It
is
a
good
Remedy
for
a
cold
Cough
,
especially
in
the
beginning
.
For
all
this
purposes
aforesaid
,
the
Herb
being
tunned
up
in
new
Drink
and
drunk
is
almost
as
effectual
,
but
far
more
accetable
to
weak
and
dainty
Stomachs
.
The
Distilled
Water
of
the
Herb
hath
the
same
effects
,
but
more
weakly
.
The
Conserve
of
the
Flowers
doth
the
like
,
which
Mathiolus
much
commendeth
against
the
Palsey
.
The
green
Herb
or
the
Decoction
thereof
being
applied
,
dissolveth
the
hardness
of
Womens
Breasts
,
and
all
other
hard
Swellings
in

clenseth
putrid

PLANTANE
.
This
groweth

.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Juyce
of
Plantane
clarified
and
drunk
for
divers
daies
together
,
either
of
it
self
or
in
other
drink
prevaileth
wonderfully
against
all
torments
or
Excoriations
in
the
Guts
or
Bowels
,
helpeth
the
distillations
of
Rhewm
from
the
Head
,
and
staieth
all
manner
of
Fluxes
even
Womens
Courses
when
they
flow
too
abundantly
;
It
is
good
to
stay
spitting
of
Blood
,
and
all
other
Bleedings
at
the
Mouth
,
or
the
making
of
foul
or
bloody
water
by
reason
of
any
Ulcer
in
the
reins
or
Bladder
,
and
also
stayeth
the
too
free
bleeding
of
Wounds
.
It
is
held
an
especial
Remedy
for
those
that
are
troubled
with
the
Phtisick
,
or
Consumption
of
the
Lungs
,
or
Ulcers
in
the
Lungs
,
or
Coughs
that
come
of
heat
.
The
Decoction
or
Pouder
of
the
Roots
or
Seed
,
is
much
more
binding
for
all
the
purposes
aforesaid
than
the
Leavs
.
Dioscorides
saith
,
That
three
Roots
boyled
in
Wine
and
taken
helpeth
the
Tertain
Ague
,
and
four
the
Quartan
Ague
:
But
(
letting
pass
the
number
as
Fabulous
)
I
conceive
the
Decoction
of
divers
Roots
may
be
effectual
.
The
Herb
(
but
especially
the
Seed
)
is
held
to
be
profitable
againt
the
Dropsie
,
the
Falling
-
sickness
,
the
yellow
Jaundice
,
and
stoppings
of
the
Liver
and
Reins
.
The
Roots
of
Plantane
and
Pellitory
of
Spain
beaten
to
Pouder
and
put
into
hollow
Teeth
,
taketh
away
the
pains
of
them
:
The
clarified
Juyce
or
distilled
Water
dropped
into
the
Eyes
cooleth
the
Inflamations
in
them
,
and
taketh
away
the
Pin
and
Web
;
and
dropped
into
the
Ears
easeth
pains
in
them
,
and
helpeth
and
restoreth
the
Hearing
:
The
same
also
with
Juyce
of
Housleek
is
profitable
against
all
Inflamations
and
breakings
out
in
the
Skin
,
and
against
Burnings
or
Scaldings
by
fire
or
Water
.
The
Juyce
or
Decoction
made
either
of
it
self
or
other
things
of
like
nature
is
of
much
use
and
good
effect
for
old
and
hollow
Ulcers
that
are
hard
to
be
cured
,
and
for
Cankers
and
Sores
in
the
Mouth
or
privy
parts
of
Man
or
Woman
;
and
helpeth
also
the
pains
of
the
Piles
in
the
Fundament
.
The
Juyce
mixed
with
Oyl
of
Roses
,
and
the
Temples
and
Forhead
anointed
therewith
,
easeth
the
pains
of
the
Head
proceeding
from
heat
,
and
helpeth
Lunatick
,
and
Phrenetick
persons
very
much
;
as
also
the
bitings
of
Serpents
or
a
Mad
Dog
:
The
same
also
is
profitably
applied
to
all
hot
Gouts
in
the
Feet
or
Hands
,
especially
in
the
beginning
.
It
is
also
good
to
be
applied
where
any
Bone
is
out
of
Joynt
to
hinder
Inflamations
,
Swellings
and
Pains
that
presently
rise
thereupon
.

of

Water
,

two

POLLIPODY
of
the
OAK
.
Description
.
This
is
a
smal
Herb
consisting
of
nothing
but
Roots
and
Leavs
:
bearing
neither
Stalk
,
Flower
,
nor
Seed
as
it
is
thought
.
It
hath
three
or
four
Leavs
rising
from
the
Root
,
every
one
singly
by
it
self
,
of
about
a
hand
length
,
which
are
winged
,
consisting
of
many
smal
narrow
Leavs
,
cut
into
the
middle
rib
standing
on
each
side
of
the
Stalk
,
large
below
,
and
smaller
up
to
the
top
,
not
dented
or
notched
on
the
edges
at
all
,
as
the
Male
Fern
hath
;
of
a
sad
green
colour
and
smooth
on
the
upper
side
,
but
on
the
underside
somwhat
rough
,
by
reason
of
certain
yellowish
spots
set
thereon
:
The
Root
is
smaller
than
ones
little
finger
lying
aslope
,
or
creeping
along
under
the
upper
crust
of
the
earth
,
browish
on
the
outside
,
and
greenish
within
,
of
a
sweetish
harshness
in
tast
,
set
with
certain
rough
Knags
on
each
side
thereof
,
having
also
much
Mossiness
or
yellow
hairiness
upon
it
,
and
some
Fibres
underneath
it
,
whereby
it
is
nourished
.
Place
.
It
groweth
as
well
upon
old
rotten
stumps
,
or
trunks
of
Trees
,
as
Oak
,
Beech
,
Hazel
;
Willow
,
or
any
other
,
as
in

;
and
upon
old
Mud
Wals
,
as
also
in
Mossie
,
Stony
,
and
gravelly
places
,
neer
unto
Woods
;
That
which
groweth
upon
Oaks
is
accounted
the
best
,
but
the
quantity
thereof
is
scarce
sufficient
for
the
common
use

THE
POPLAR
-
TREE
.
Description
.
There
are
two
sorts
of
Poplars
which
are
most
familiar
with
us
,
Viz
.
The
Black
,
and
the
White
,
both
which
I
shall
here
describe
unto
you
.
The
white
Poplar
groweth
great
and
reasonable
high
,
covered
with
a
thick
smooth
white
Bark
,
especially
the
Branches
,
having
large
Leavs
cut
into
several
devisions
almost
like
a
Vine
Leaf
,
but
not
of
so
deep
a
green
on
the
upper
side
,
and
hoary
white
underneath
,
of
a
reasonable
good
scent
,
the
whol
form
representing
the
Leaf
of
Coltsfoot
.
The
Catkins
which
it
bringeth
forth
before
the
Leavs
,
are
long
,
and
of
a
faint
reddish
colour
,
which
fall
away
bearing
seldom
good
Seed
with
them
.
The
Wood
hereof
is
smooth
,
soft
,
and
white
,
very
finely
waved
,
whereby
it
is
much
esteemed
.
The
Black
Poplar
groweth
higher
and
straiter
than
the
White
,
with
a
grayish
Bark
bearing
broad
and
green
leaves
somwhat
like
Ivy
Leavs
,
not
cut
in
on
the
edges
like
the
White
,
but
whol
and
dented
,
ending
in
a
point
,
and
not
white
underneath
,
hanging
by
slender
long
Footstalks
,
which
with
the
Air
are
continually
shaken
like
as
the
Aspin
Leavs
are
:
The
Catkins
hereof
are
greater
than
of
the
White
,
composed
of
many
round
green
Berries
as
it
were
set
together
in
a
long
Cluster
,
containing
much
downice
matter
,
which
being
ripe
is
blown
away
with
the
wind
,
The
clammy
Buds
hereof
before
they
spread
into
Leavs
,
are
gathered
to
make
the
Unguentum
Populeon
,
and
are
of
a
yellowish
green
colour
and
smal
,
somwhat
sweet
,
but
strong
.
The
Wood
is
smooth
,
tough
,
and
white
,
and
easie
to
be
cloven
:
On
both
these
Trees
groweth
a
sweet
kind
of
Musk
,
which
in
former
times
was
used
to
be
put
into
sweet
Oyntments
.
Place
.
They
grow
in
moist
Woods
and
by
water
sides
in
sundry
places
of
the
Land
,
yet
the
white
is
not
so
frequent
as
the
other
.
Time
.
Their
time
is
likewise
expressed
before
,
The
Catkins
coming
forth
before
the
Leavs
and
ripen
in
the
end
of
Summer
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
White
Poplar
,
saith
Galen
,
is
of
a
clensing
property
:
The
weight
of
one
ounce
in
Pouder
of
the
Bark
thereof
being
drunk
saith
Dioscorides
is
a
Remedy
for
those
that
are
troubled
with
the
Sciatica
,
or
the
Strangury
:
The
Juyce
of
the
Leavs
dropped
warm
into
the
Ears
easeth
the
pains
in
them
:
The
yong
clammy
Buds
or
Eyes
before
they
break
out
into
Leavs
,
bruised
,
and
a
little
Honey
put
to
them
,
is
a
good
Medicine
for
a
dull
Sight
.
The
Black
Poplar
is
held
to
be
more
cooling
than
the
White
,
and
therefore
the
leavs
bruised
with
Vinegar
and
applied
,
helpeth
the
Gout
;
The
Seed
drunk
in
Vinegar
is
held
good
against
the
Falling
-
sickness
.
The
Water
that
droppeth
from
the
hollow
places
of
this
Tree
,
taketh
away
Warts
,
Pushes
,
Wheals
,
and
other
the
like
breakings
out
in
the
Body
.
The
yong
black
Poplar
Buds
,
saith
Mathiolus
,
are
much
used
by
Women
to
beautifie
their
hair
,
bruising
them
with
fresh
Butter
and
straining
them
after
thay
have
been
kept
for
some
time
in
the
Sun
.
The
Oyntment
called
Populeon
,
which
is
made
of
this
Poplar
,
is
singular
good
for
all
heat
,
or
Inflamation
in
any
part
of
the
Body
,
and
tempereth
the
heat
of
Wounds
:
It
is
much
used
to
dry
up
the
Milk
in
Womens
Breasts
,
when
they
have
weyned
their
Children

POPPY
.
Of
this
I
shal
describe
three
kinds
,
Viz
.
The
White
and
Black
,
of
the
Garden
,
and
the
Erratick
,
wild
Poppy
,
or
Corn
Rose
.
Discription
.
The
white
Poppy
hath
at
first
four
or
five
whitish
green
Leavs
lying
upon
the
ground
,
which
rise
with
the
Stalk
,
compassing
it
at
the
bottom
of
them
,
and
are
very
large
,
much
cut
or
torn
in
on
the
edges
,
and
dented
also
besides
:
The
Stalk
which
is
usually
four
or
five
foot
high
,
hath
somtimes
no
Branches
at
the
Top
,
&
usually
but
two
or
three
at
most
bearing
every
one
but
one
Head
,
wrapped
in
a
thin
Skin
,
which
boweth
down
before
it
be
ready
to
blow
,
and
then
rising
and
being
broken
,
the
Flower
within
it
spreadeth
it
self
open
,
and
consisteth
of
four
very
large
White
round
Leavs
,
with
many
whitish
round
threds
in
the
middle
,
set
about
a
small
round
green
Head
,
having
a
Crown
,
or
Star
-
like
cover
at
the
Head
thereof
,
which
growing
ripe
becometh
as
large
as
a
geat
Apple
,
wherein
are
contained
a
great
number
of
smal
round
Seed
,
in
several
partitions
or
devisions
next
unto
the
shell
,
the
middle
thereof
remaining
hollow
and
empty
.
All
the
whol
Plant
,
both
Leavs
,
Stalks
and
Heads
,
while
they
are
fresh
,
yong
,
and
green
,
yield
a
Milk
when
they
are
broken
,
of
an
unpleasant
bitter
tast
,
almost
ready
to
provoke
casting
,
and
of
a
strong
heady
smel
,
which
being
condensate
is
called
Opium
.
The
Root
is
white
,
and
woody
,
perishing
as
soon
as
it
hath
given
ripe
Seed
.
The
Black
Poppy
little
differeth
from
the
former
,
until
it
beareth
his
Flower
,
which
is
somwhat
less
,
and
of
a
black
Purplish
colour
,
but
without
any
purple
spots
in
the
bottom
of
the
Leaf
.
The
Head
of
Seed
is
much
less
than
the
former
,
and
openeth
it
self
a
little
round
about
the
top
under
the
Crown
,
so
that
the
Seed
which
is
very
black
will
fall
out
if
one
turn
the
Head
thereof
downwards
.
The
wild
Poppy
,
or
Corn
Rose
,
hath
long
and
narrow
Leavs
very
much
cut
in
on
the
edges
into
many
devisions
,
of
a
light
green
colour
,
and
somtimes
hairy
withal
;
The
Stalk
is
blackish
and
hairy
also
,
but
not
so
tall
as
the
Garden
kinds
,
having
some
such
like
Leavs
thereon
as
grow
below
,
parted
into
three
or
four
Branches
somtimes
,
whereon
grow
smal
hairy
Heads
bowing
down
before
the
Skin
break
,
wherein
the
Flower
is
inclosed
,
which
when
it
is
ful
blown
open
,
is
of
a
fair
yellowish
red
or
crimson
colour
,
and
in
some
much
paler
,
without
any
spot
in
the
bottom
of
the
Leavs
,
having
many
black
soft
threds
in
the
middle
compassing
a
smal
green
Head
,
which
when
it
is
ripe
,
is
not
bigger
than
ones
little
finger
end
,
wherin
is
contained
much
black
Seed
,
smaller
by
half
then
that
of
the
Garden
.
The
Root
perisheth
every
yeer
,
and
springeth
again
of
its
own
sowing
.
Of
this
kind
there
is
one
lesser
in
al
the
parts
thereof
,
and
differeth
in
nothing
els
.
Place
.
The
Garden
kinds
do
not
naturally
grow
wild
in
any
place
,
but
are
all
sown
in
Gardens
where
they
grow
.
The
Wild
Poppy
,
or
Corn
Rose
is
plentiful
enough
,
and
many
times

Vertues

Use
.
The
Garden
Poppy
Heads
with
Seeds
made
into
a
Syrup
,
is
frequently
and
to
good
effect
used
to
procure
rest
and
sleep
in
the
sick
and
weak

and
to
stay
Catarth's
and
Defluxions
of
hot
thin
Rhewms
from

into
the
Stomach
,
and
upon

,
the
Fore

of

Hoarsness
of
the
Throat
,
and
when

hath
lost
their
voice
,
which
the
Oyl
of
the

doth
likewise
.
The

Seed
boyled
in
Wine
and

,
is
said
also
to
stay
the
Flux
of
the
Belly
and
Womens
Courses
.
The
empty
shels
of
the
Poppy
Heads
are
usually
boyled
in
water
and
given
to
procure
rest
and
sleep
;
so
do
the
Leavs
in
the
same
manner
;
as
also
if
the
Head
and
Temples
be
bathed
with
the
Decoction
warm
,
or
with
the
Oyl
of
Poppies

The
Wild
Poppy
,
or
Corn
Rose
(
as
Mathiolus
saith
)
is
good
to
prevent
the
Falling
-
sickness
.
The
Syrup
made
with
the
Flowers
is
with
good
effect
given
to
those
that
have
the
Pluresie
;
and
the
dried
Flowers
also
,
either
boyled
in
water
,
or
made
into
Pouder
and
drunk
either
in
the
Distilled
Water
of
them
,
or
in
some
other
Drink
worketh
the
like
effect
.
The
Distilled
Water
of
the
Flowers
,
is
held
to
be
of
much
good
use
against
Surfets
,
being
drunk
evening
and
morning
;
It
is
also
more
cooling
than
any
of
the
other
Poppies
,
and
therefore
cannot
but
be
as
effectual
in
hot
Agues
,
Phrensies
,
and
other
Inflamations
either
inward
or
outward
,
the
Syrup
or
Water
to
be
used
therein
,
or
the
green
Leavs
used
outwardly
,
either
in
an
Oyntment
,
as
it
is
in
Populeon
,
a
cooling
Oyntment
,
or
any
other
waies
applied
.
Galen
saith
the
Seed
is
dangerous
to
be
used
inwardly
.
The
Herb
is
Lunar
,
and
of
the
Juyce
of
it
is
made
Opium
,
only
for
lucre
of
Money
they
cheat
you
,
and
tell
you
'tis

of
Tear

or
some
such
like
thing
that
drops
from
Poppies
when
they
weep
,
and
that

PURSLANE
.
The
Garden
Purslane
(
being
used
as
a
Salet
Herb
)
is
so
well
known
that
it
needeth
no
Description
;
I
shal
therefore
only
speak
of
its
Vertues
,
as
followeth
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
It
is
good
to
cool
any
heat
in
the
Liver
,
Blood
,
Reins
,
and
Stomach
,
and
in
hot
Agues
,
nothing
better
;
It
stayeth
hot
and
Chollerick
Fluxes
of
the
Belly
,
Womens
Courses
,
the
Whites
,
and
Gonorrhea
,
or
running
of
the
Reins
,
the
Distillations
from
the
Head
,
and
pains
therein
proceeding
of
heat
,
want
of
sleep
,
or
the
Phrensie
.
The
Seed
is
more
effectual
than
the
Herb
,
and
is
of
singular
good
use
to
cool
the
heat
and
sharpness
of
Urine
,
and
the
outragious
Lust
of
the
Body
,
Venerious
Dreams
,
and
the
like
,
insomuch
that
the
overfrequent
use
hereof
,
extinguisheth
the
Heat
and
Vertue
of
Natural
Procreation
.
The
Seed
bruised
and
boyled
in
Wine
and
given
to
Children
,
expelleth
the
Worms
.
The
Juyce
of
the
Herb
is
held
as
effectual
to
all
the
purposes
aforesaid
,
as
also
to
stay
Vomitings
;
and
taken
with
some
Sugar
or
Honey
,
helpeth
an
old
and
dry
Cough
,
shortness
of
Breath
,
and
the
Phtisick
,
and
stayeth
immoderate
Thirst
.
The
Distilled
water
of
the
Herb
is
used
by
many
(
as
the
more
pleasing
)
with
a
little
Sugar
,
to
work
the
same
effects
.
The
Juyce
also
is
singular
good
in
the
Inflamations
and
Ulcers
of
the
secret
parts
in
man
or
woman
,
as
also
of
the
Bowels
and
Hemorrhoids
,
when
they
are
Ulcerous
,
or
Excoriations
in
them
.
The
Herb
bruised
and
applied
to
the
Forehead
and
Temples
,
allayeth
excessive
heat
therein
,
hindring
rest
and
sleep
;
and
applied
to
the
Eyes
taketh
away
the
redness
and
Inflamation
in
them
,
and
those
other
parts
,
where
Pushes
,
Wheals
,
Pimples
,
St
.
Anthonies
Fire
and
the
like
break
forth
,
especially
if
a
little
Vinegar
be
put
to
it
:
And
being
laid
to
the
Neck
with
as
much
of
Galls
and
Linseed
together
,
taketh
away
the
pains
therein
,
and
the
Crick
in
the
Neck
.
The
Juyce
is
used
with
Oyl
of
Roses
for
the
said
causes
,
or
for
blastings
by
Lightning
,
and
Burnings
by
Gun
-
Pouder
,
or
for
Womens
sore
Breasts
,
and
to
ally
the
heat
in
all
other
Sores
or
Hurts
:
applied
also
to
the
Navels
of
Children
that
stick
forth
,
it
helpeth
them
:
It
is
also
good
for
sore
Mouths
,
and
Gums
that
are
swollen
to
fasten
loos
Teeth
.
Camerarius
saith
,
That
the
distilled
water
used
by
some
,
took
away
the
pain
of
their
Teeth
when
all
other
Remedies
failed
,
and
that
the
thickned
Juyce
made
in
Pills
with
the
Pouder
of
Gum
Tragacanth
,
and
Arabick
,
being
taken
prevaileth
much
to

cut
into
many
forms
,
of
Men

which
though
at
first
supported
,
groweth
afterwards
strong
of
it
self

It
beareth
long

narrow
green
Leavs
by
couples

Vertues
and
Use
.
It
is
little
used
in
Physick
with
us
in
these
times
,
more
than
in
Lotions
to
wash
Sores
,
and
Sore
Mouths
,
and
to
cool
Inflamations
and
dry
up
Fluxes
.
Yet
Mathiolus
saith
it
serveth
to
all
the
uses
for
which
Ciprus
or
the
East
Privet
is
appointed
by
Dioscorides
and
Galen
.
He
further
saith
,
That
the
Oyl
that
is
made
of
the
Flowers
of
Privet
infused
therin
,
and
set
in
the
Sun
,
is
singular
good
for
the
Inflamations
of
Wounds
,
and
for
the
Headach
coming
of
an
hot
caus
.
There
is
a
sweet
water
also
distilled
from
the
Flowers
that
is
good
for
all
those
Diseases
that
need
cooling
and
drying
,
and
therefore
helpeth
all
Fluxes
of
the
Belly
or
Stomach
.

Juyce

or

are
much
conducible
much
of
the
binding
quality
being
consumed
by
the
fire
:
If
a
little
Vinegar
be
added
,
it
stirreth
up
the
languishing
Appetite
,
and
the
Stomach
given
to
casting
;
Some
Spices
being
added
,
it
comforteth
and
strengthneth
the
decayed

Spirits
,
and
helpeth
the
Liver
oppressed
;
that
it

perfect

,

correcteth
Choller

:
If

of

use
the

Quince
with

Hypocistis
,
and
some
torrefied

.
To
take
of
the
crude
Juyce
of
Quinces
,
is
held
a
Preservative
against
the
force
of
deadly
poyson
;
for
it
hath
been
found
most
certain
true
,
that
the
very
smel
of
a
Quince
hath
taken
away
all
the
strength
of
the

of

.
If

The
Oyl
of

that
may
be
made
thereof
are
very
available

It

strengtheneth
the
Stomach

,
and
the
Sinews
that
are
loosned

The
Muccilage
taken
from

boyled

is
very
good
to
cool

The
Hors

Radish
hath
his
first
Leavs
that
rise
before
Winter
,
about
a
foot
and
a
half
long
,
very
much
cut
in
or
torn
on
the
edges
into
many
parts
of
a
dark
green
colour
,
with
a
great
Rib
in
the
middle
:
After
these

been
up
a

others
follow
,
which
are
greater

somwhat
roundly
dented
about

:
The
Stalk
when
it
beareth
Flowers
(
which
is

is
great
rising
up
with
some
few
lesser
Leavs
thereon

many
smal

after
which
come
smal
Pods
like
those
of

is
great

long
,
white
,
and
rugged
shooting
up
divers
Heads

it
doth
not
creep

nor
run
above

,
and
is
of
a
strong
sharp
and
bitter
tast
,
almost
like
Mustard

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Juyce
of
Hors
-
Radish
given
in
drink
is
held
to
be
very
effectual
for
the
Scurvy
.
It
killeth
the
Worms
in
Children
being
drunk
,
and
also
laid
upon
the
Belly
.
The

doth
wonderfully
help
them
all

The
Distilled

is
more
familiar
to
be
taken
with

they
breed

Humors
in

,
and
corrupt
the
Blood
,
and
then
send
for
a
Physitian
as
fast
as
you
can

this
is
one
caus
,
makes
the

so
unhealthful

for

Of
this
there
are
two
kinds
,
which
I
shall
speak
of
,
Viz
.
The
Red
and
yellow
.
Description
.
The
common
red
Rattle
,
hath
sundry
reddish
hollow
Stalks
,
and
somtimes
green
rising
from
the
Root
,
lying
for
the
most
part
on
the
ground
,
yet
some
growing
more
upright
,
with
many
smal
reddish
or
greenish
Leavs
set
on
both
sides
of
a
middle
Rib
finely
dented
about
the
edges
:
The
Flowers
stand
at
the
tops
of
the
Stalks
and
Branches
,
of
a
fine
purplish
red
colour
,
like
smal
gaping
hoods
,
after
which
come
flat
blackish
Seed
in
small
Husks
,
which
lying
loos
therein
,
will
Rattle
with
shaking
.
The
Root
consists
of
two
or
three
small
whitish
strings
,
with
some
fibres
thereat
.
The
common
Yellow
Rattle
hath
seldom
above
one
round
green
Stalk
rising
from
the
Root
,
about
half
a
yard
or
two
foot
high
,
and
but
few
Branches
theron
having
two
long
and
somwhat
broad
Leavs
set
at
a
Joynt
,
deeply
cut
in
on
the
edges
,
resembling
the
Comb
of
a
Cock
,
broadest
next
to
the
Stalk
and
smaller
to
the
end
:
The
Flowers
grow
at
the
tops
of
the
Stalks
with
some
shorter
Leavs
with
them
,
hooded
after
the
same
manner
that
the
others
are
,
but
of
a
fair
yellow
colour
in
most
,
or
in
some
paler
,
and
in
some
more
white
.
The
Seed
is
contained
in
large
Husks
,
and
being
ripe
will
rattle
or
make
a
nois
with
lying
loose
in
them
.
The
Root
is
small
and
slender
perishing
every
yeer

.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Red
Rattle
is
accounted
profitable
to
heal
up
Fistulaes
,
and
hollow
Ulcers
and
to
stay
the
Flux
of
Humors
to
them
,
as
also

REST
-
HARROW
,
or
CAMMOAK
.
Description
.
The
common
Rest
-
Harrow
riseth
up
with
divers
rough
woody
twigs
,
half
a
yard
,
or
a
yard
high
,
set
at
the
Joynts
without
order
,
with
little
roundish
Leavs
somtimes
more
than
two
or
three
at
a
place
,
of
a
dark
green
colour
,
without
thorns
while
they
are
yong
,
but
afterwards
armed
in
sundry
places
with
short
and
sharp
Thorns
.
The
Flowers
come
forth
at
the
tops
of
the
twigs
and
Branches
whereof
it
is
ful
,
fashioned
like

ripe
in
August
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
It
is
singular
good
to
provoke
Urine
when
it
is
stopped
,
and
to
break
and
drive
forth
the
Stone
,
which
the
Pouder
of
the
Bark
of
the
Root
taken
in
Wine
performeth
effectually
.
Mathiolus
saith
,
the
same
helpeth
the
Disease
called
Hiernia
Carnosa
,
the
Fleshy
Rupture
by
taking
the
said
Pouder
for
some
Months
together
constantly
,
and
that
it
hath
cured
some
which
seemed
incurable
by
any
other
means
than
by
cutting
or
burning
.
The
Decoction
thereof
made
with
some
Vinegar
and
gargled
in
the
Mouth
,
easeth
the
Toothach
,
especially
when
it
comes
of
Rhewm
;
and
the
said
Decoction
is
very
powerful
to
open
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
and
other
parts
.
A
Distilled
Water
made
in
Balneo
Mariae
with
four
pound
of
the
Roots
hereof
first
sliced
smal
,
and
afterwards
steeped
in
a
Gallon
of
Canary
Wine
,
is
singular
good
for
all
the
purposes
aforesaid
and
to
clens
the
passages
of
the
Urine
.
The
Pouder
of
the
said
Root
made
into
an
Electuary
or
Lozenges
with
Sugar
:
as
also
the
Bark
of
the
fresh
Roots
boyled
tender
and
afterwards
beaten
into
a
Conserve
with
Sugar
,
worketh
the
like
effect
.
The
Pouder
of
the
Roots
strewed
upon
the
Brims
of
Ulcers
,
or
mixed
with
any
other
convenient
thing
and
applied
consumeth

ROCKET

In

rather
used
as
a
Sallet

I
hold
it
altogether
needless
to
trouble
the
Reader
with
a
Description
of
any
of
these
,
sith
both
the
Garden
Roses
,
and
the
Wild
Roses
of
the
Bryars
are
well
enough
known
;
Take
therefore
the
Vertues
of
them
as
followeth
:
And
first
I
shal
begin
with
the
Garden
kinds
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
White
and
the
Red
Roses
are
cooling
and
drying
,
yet
the
White
is
taken
to
exceed
the
Red
in
both
those
properties
,
but
is
seldom
used
inwardly
in
any
Medicine
.
The
bitterness
in
the
Roses
when
they
are
fresh
,
especially
the
Juyce
purgeth
Choller
,
and
watery
Humors
,
but
being
dried
and
that
heat
which
caused
the
bitterness
being
consumed
,
they
have
then
a
binding
and
astringent
quality
;
Those
also
that
are
not
ful
blown
do
both
cool
and
bind
more
than
those
that
are
full
blown
,
and
the
White
Roses
more
than
the
Red
.
The
Decoction
of
Red
Roses
made
with
Wine
and
used
,
is
very
good
for
the
Headach
,
and
pains
in
the
Eyes
,
Ears
,
Throat
,
and
Gums
,
as
also
for
the
Fundament
,
the
lower
Bowels
,
and
the
Matrix
,
being
bathed
,
or
put
into
them
.
The
same
Decoction
with
the
Roses
remaining
in
it
is
profitably
applyed
to
the
Region
of
the
Heart
to
eas
the
Inflamation
therin
;
as
also
St
.
Anthonies
fire
,
and
other
Diseases
of
the
Stomach
.
Being
dried
and
beaten
to
Pouder
,
and
taken
in
steeled
Wine
or
Water
,
it
helpeth
to
stay
Womens
Courses
.
The
yellow
threds
in
the
middle
of
the
red
Roses
(
wch
are
erroniously
called
the
Rose
Seeds
)
being
poudered
and
drunk
in
the
distilled
water
of
Quinces
,
stayeth
the
overflowing
of
Womens
Courses
,
and
doth
wonderfully
stay
the
Defluxions
of
Rhewm
upon
the
Gums
and
Teeth
,
preserving
them
from
corruption
,
and
fastning
them
if
they
be
loose
,
being
washed
and
gargled
therewith
,
and
some
Vinegar
of
Squils
added
thereto
.
The
Heads
with
Seed
being
used
in
Pouder
or
in
a
Decoction
,
stayeth
the
Lask
,
and
spitting
of
Blood
.
Red
Roses
do
strengthen
the
Heart
,
the
Stomack
,
and
the
Liver
,
and
the
retentive
Faculties
,
they
mitigate
the
pains
that
arise
from
Heat
,
asswage
Inflamations
,
procure
rest
and
sleep
,
stay
both
Whites
and
Reds
in
Women
,
the
Gonorrhea
,
running
of
the
Reins
,
and
the
Fluxes
of
the
Belly
;
The
Juyce
of
them
doth
purge
and
clens
the
Body
from
Choller
and
Flegm
:
The
Husks
of
the
Roses
with
the
Beards
and
Nails
of
the
Roses
are
binding
and
cooling
,
and
the
Distilled
Water
of
either
of
them
is
good
for
the
Heat
and
redness
in
the
Eyes
,
and
to
stay
and
dry
up
the
Rhewms
and
watering
of
them
.
Of
the
Red
Roses
are
usually
made
many
Compositions
all
serving
to
sundry
good
uses
;
Viz
.
Electuary
of
Roses
;
Conserve
both
moist
and
dry
,
which
is
more
usually
called
Sugar
of
Roses
;
Syrup
of
dryed
Roses
,
and
Honey
of
Roses
;
The
Cordial
Pouder
called
Diarhodon
Abbatis
,
and
Aromatica
Rosarum
;
The
Distilled
Water
of
Roses
,
Vinegar
of
Roses
,
Oyntment
and
Oyl
of
Roses
,
and
the
Rose
Leavs
dried
,
which
although
no
Composition
,
yet
of
very
great
use
and
effect
.
To
write
at
large
of
everyone
of
these
would
make
my
Book
swel
too
big
,
it
being
sufficient
for
a
Volum
by
it
self
to
speak
fully
of
them
:
But
briefly
;
The
Electuary
is
purging
,
whereof
two
or
three
Drams
taken
by
it
self
in
some
convenient
Liquor
is
a
Purge
sufficient
for
a
weak
Constitution
;
but
may
be
encreased
to
six
drams
according
to
the
strength
of
the
Patient
.
It
purgeth
Choller
without
trouble
,
and
is
good
in
hot
Feavers
,
and
pains
of
the
Head
arising
from
hot
Chollerick
Humors
,
and
heat
in
the
Eyes
,
the
Jaundice
also
,
and
Joynt
Aches
proceeding
of
hot
Humors
.
The
moist
Conserve
is
of
much
use
,
both
binding
and
Cordial
,
for
until
it
be
about
two
years
old
it
is
more
binding
than
Cordial
,
and
after
that
,
more
Cordial
than
Binding
:
Some
of
the
yonger
Conserve
taken
with
Methridatum
mixed
together
,
is
good
for
those
that
are
troubled
with
Distillations
of
Rhewm
from
the
Brain
to
the
Nose
,
and
Defluxions
of
Rhewm
into
the
Eyes
,
as
also
for
Fluxes
,
and
Lasks
of
the
Belly
;
and
being
mixed
with
the
Pouder
of
Mastick
is
very
good
for
the
Running
of
the
Reins
,
and
for
other
loosness
of
Humors
in
the
Body
.
The
old
Conserve
mixed
with
Aromaticum
Rosarum
is
a
very
good
Cordial
against
Faintings
,
Swounings
,
Weakness
,
and
Tremblings
of
the
Heart
,
strengthning
both
it
,
and
a
weak
Stomach
,
helpeth
digestion
,
stayeth
casting
,
and
is
a
very
good
Preservative
in
the
time
of
Infection
.
The
dry
Conserve
which
is
called
Sugar
of
Roses
,
is
a
very
good
Cordial
to
strenthen
the
Heart
and
Spirits
as
also
to
stay
Defluxions
.
The
Syrup
of
dried
Red
Roses
strenthneth
a
Stomack
given
to
casting
,
cooleth
an
overheated
Liver
and
the
Blood
in
Agues
,
comforteth
the
Heart
and
resisteth
putrefaction
and
infection
,
and
helpeth
to
stay
Lasks
and
Fluxes
.
Honey
of
Roses
is
much
used
in
Gargles
and
Lotions
to
wash
Sores
either
in
the
Mouth
,
Throat
,
or
other
parts
,
both
to
clens
and
heal
them
,
and
to
stay
the
Fluxes
of
Humors
falling
upon
them
;
it
is
also
used
in
Clisters
both
to
cool
and
clens
.
The
Cordial
Pouders
called
Diarhodon
Abbatis
and
Aromaticum
Rosarum
do
comfort
and
strengthen
the
Heart
and
Stomach
,
procure
an
Appetite
,
help
Digestion
,
stayeth
Vomiting
;
and
is
very
good
for
those
that
have
slippery
Bowels
to
strengthen
them
,
and
to
dry
up
their
moisture
.
Red
Rose
Water
is
of
well
known
and
familiar
use
in
all
occasions
(
and
better
than
Damask
Rose
Water
)
being
cooling
and
Cordial
,
refreshing
and
quickning
the
weak
and
faint
Spirits
,
used
either
in
meats
or
broths
,
to
wash
the
Temples
,
or
to
smel
to
at
the
Nose
,
or
to
smel
the
sweet
vapors
therof
out
of
a
perfuming
Pot
or
cast
on
a
hot
Fire
-
shovel
:
It
is
also
of
much
good
use
against
the
redness
and
Inflamations
in
the
eyes
to
bath
them
therewith
,
and
the
Temples
of
the
Head
also
against
pain
and
ach
for
which
purpose
also
Vinegar
of
Roses
is
of
much
good
use
,
and
to
procure
rest
and
sleep
,
if
some
thereof
and
Rosewater
together
be
used
to
smel
unto
,
or
the
Nose
and
Temples
moistned
therewith
,
but
more
usually
to
moisten
a
piece
of
Red
Rose
Cake
cut
fit
for
the
purpose
,
and
heated
between
a
double
folded
Cloth
,
with
a
little
beaten
Nutmeg
and
Poppy
Seed
strewed
on
the
side
that
must
lie
next
to
the
Forehead
&
Temples
,
&
so
bound
therto
for
al
night
.
The
Oyntment
of
Roses
is
much
used
against
heat
&
Inflamations
in
the
Head
,
to
anoint
the
forhead
&
temples
,
&
being
mixed
with
Unguentum
Populeon
,
to
procure
rest
;
as
also
it
is
used
for
the
heat
of
the
Liver
,
of
the
Back
and
Reins
,
and
to
cool
and
heal
Pushes
,
Wheals
and
other
red
Pimples
rising
in
the
Face
or
other
parts
.
Oyl
of
Roses
is
not
only
used
by
it
self
to
coole
any
hot
Swellings
or
Inflamations
,
and
to
bind
and
stay
Fluxes
of
Humors
unto
Sores
,
but
is
also
put
into
Oyntments
and
Plaisters
that
are
cooling
and
binding
,
and
restraining
the
Flux
of
Humors
.
The
dried
Leavs
of
the
Red
Roses
are
used
both
inward
and
outwardly
,
both
cooling
,
binding
,
and
Cordial
,
for
with
them
are
made
both
Aromaticum
Rosarum
,
Diarhodon
Abbatis
,
and
Saccharum
Rosarum
,
each
of
whose
Properties
are
before
declared
.
Rose
Leavs
and
Mints
heated
and
applied
outwardly
to
the
Stomach
,
stayeth
castings
,
and
very
much
strengthneth
a
weak
Stomach
;
and
applied
as
a
Fomentation
to
the
Region
of
the
Liver
and
Heart
,
doth
much
cool
and
temper
them
,
and
also
serveth
instead
of
a
Rose
Cake
(
as
is
said
before
)
to
quiet
the
over
hot
spirits
and
cause
rest
and
sleep
.
The
Syrup
of
Damask
Roses
is
both
Simple
and
Compound
,
and
made
with
Agrick
.
The
Simple
Solutive
Syrup
,
is
a
familiar
,
safe
,
gentle
,
and
easie
Medicine
,
purging
Choller
,
taken
from
one
ounce
to
three
or
four
;
yet
this
is
remarkable
herein
,
That
the
distilled
Water
of
this
Syrup
should
notably
bind
the
Belly
;
The
Syrup
with
Agrick
is
more
strong
and
effectual
,
for
one
ounce
thereof
by
it
self
will
open
the
Body
more
than
the
other
,
and
worketh
as
much
on
Flegm
as
Choller
.
The
Compound
Syrup
is
more
forcible
in
working
on
Melanchollick
Humors
,
and
available
against
the
Lepry
,
Itch
,
Tetters
,
&c
,
and
the
French
Diseas
:
Also
Honey
of
Roses
Solutive
is
made
of
the
same
infusion
that
the
Syrup
is
made
of
,
and
therefore
worketh
the
same
effect
both
in
opening
and
purging
,
but
is
oftener
given
to
Flegmatick
than
Chollerick
persons
,
and
is
more
used
in
Clysters
than
in
Potions
,
as
the
Syrup
made
with
Sugar
is
.
The
Conserve
and
Preserved
Leavs
of
these
Roses
are
also
operative
,
in
gently
opening
the
Belly
.
The
Simple
Water
of
the
Damask
Roses
is
chiefly
used
for
fumes
to
sweeten
things
,
as
the
dried
Leavs
thereof
to
make
sweet
Pouders
,
and
fill
sweet
Bags
,
and
little
use
they
are
put
to
in
Physick
,
although
they
have
some
purging
quality
;
The
wild
Roses
also
are
few
or
none
of
them
used
in
Physick
,
but
yet
are
generally
held
to
come
neer
the
Nature
of
the
Manured
Roses
.
The
Fruit
of
the
wild
Bryar
which
are
called
Heps
being
throughly
ripe
and
made
into
a
Conserve
with
Sugar
besides
the
pleasantness
of
the
tast
doth
gently
bind
the
Belly
,
and
stay
Defluxions
from
the
Head
upon
the
Stomach
,
drying
up
the
moisture
thereof
,
and
helpeth
digestion
.
The
Pulp
of
the
Heps
dried
unto
a
hard
consistence
,
like
to
the
Juyce
of
Liquoris
,
or
so
dried
that
it
may
be
made
into
Pouder
and
taken
in
drink
stayeth
speedily
the
Whites
in
Women
.
The
Bryar
Ball
is
often
used
being
made
into
Pouder
and
drunk
to
break
the
Stone
,
to
provoke
Urine
when
it
is
stopped
,
and
to
eas
and
help
the
Chollick
;
some
appoint
it
to
be
burnt
,
and
then
taken
for
the
same
purpose
.
In
the
middle
of
these
Balls
are
often
found
certain
white
Worms
,
which
being
dried
and
made
into
Pouder
,
and
some
of
it
drunk
,
is
found
by
experience
of
many
to
kill
and
drie
forth
the
Worms
of
the
Belly

ROSA
SOLIS
,
or
SUN
-
DEW
.
Description
.
This
hath
diverse
smal
round
hollow
Leavs
,
somwhat
greenish
,
but
full
of
certain
red
hairs
,
which
makes
them
seem
red
,
every
one
standing
upon
its
own
Footstalk
,
reddish
hairy
likewise
.
The
Leavs
are
continualty
moist
in
the
hottest
day
,
yea
the
hotter
the
Sun
shines
on
them
the
moister
they
are
,
with
a
certain
sliminess
that
will
ripe
(
as
we
say
)
the
smal
hairs
alwaies
holding
this
moisture
:
Among
these
Leavs
rise
up
small
slender
stalks
,
reddesh
also
,
three
or
four
fingers
high
,
bearing
diverse
smal
white
Knobs
one
above
another
which
are
the
Flowers
,
after
which
in
the
Heads
are
certain
smal
Seeds
.
the
Root
is
a
few
small
hairs
.

.
It
groweth
usually
on
Bogs
,
and
in
wet
places
,
and
somtimes
in
moist
Woods
.

.
It
Flowreth
in
June
,
and
then
the
Leavs
are
fittest
to
be
gathered
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
Rosa
Solis
is
accounted
good
to
help
those
that
have
salt
Rhewm
distilling
on
their
Lungs
which
breedeth
a
Consumption
,
and
therfore
the
Distilled
water
thereof
in
Wine
is
held
fit
and
profitable
for
such
to
drink
,
which
Water
will
be
of
a
gold
yellow
colour
:
The
same
Water
is
held
to
be
good
for
all
other
Diseases
of
the
Lungs
,
as
Phtisicks
,
Wheesing
,
shortness
of
Breath
,
or
the
Cough
;
as
also
to
heal
the
Ulcers
that
happen
in
the
Lungs
,
and
it
comforteth
the
Heart
and
fainting
Spirits
;
The
Leavs
outwardly
applied
to
the
Skin
will
raise
Blisters
,
which
hath
caused
some
to
think
it
,
dangerous
to
be
taken
inward
;
but
there
are
other
things
which
will
also
draw
Blisters
,
yet
nothing
dangerous
to
be
taken
inwardly
.
There
is
an
usual
Drink
made
hereof
with
Aqua
vitae
and
Spices
frequently
,
and
without
any
offence
or
danger
,
but
to
good
purpose
used
in
qualms
and
passions
of
the
Heart

ROSEMARY
.
Our

.
Time
.
It
Flowreth
in
April
and
May
with
us
,
and
somtimes
again
in
August
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
It
is
an
Herb
of
as
great
use
with
us
in
these
daies
,
as
any
whatsoever
,
not
only
for
Physical
but
Civil
purposes
.
The
Physical
use
of
it
(
being
my
present
Task
)
is
very
much
,
both
for
inward
and
outward
Diseases
;
For
by
the
warming
and
comforting
heat
thereof
it
helpeth
all
cold
Diseases
,
both
of
the
Head
,
Stomach
,
Liver
,
and
Belly
.
The
Decoction
thereof
in
Wine
helpeth
the
cold
Distillations
of
Rhewm
into
the
Eyes
,
and
all
other
cold
Diseases
of
the
Head
and
Brain
,
as
the
Giddiness
or
swimming
therein
,
Drowsiness
,
or
Dulness
of
the
mind
and
senses
,
like
a
stupidness
,
the
dumb
Palsey
,
or
loss
of
speech
,
the
Lethargy
,
and
Falling
-
sickness
,
to
be
both
drunk
and
the
Temples
bathed
therewith
.
It
helpeth
the
pains
in
the
Gums
and
Teeth
,
by
Rhewm
falling
into
them
,
or
by
putrefaction
causing
an
evil
smel
from
them
,
or
a
stinking
Breath
.
It
helpeth
a
weak
Memory
,
and
quickneth
the
Senses
.
It
is
very
comfortable
to
the
Stomach
in
all
the
old
Griefs
thereof
,
helping
both
retention
of
meat
,
and
digestion
,
the
Decoction
or
Pouder
being
taken
in
Wine
:
It
is
a
Remedy
for
the
windiness
in
the
Stomach
or
Bowels
,
and
expelleth
it
powerfully
,
as
also
Wind
in
the
Spleen
.
It
helpeth
those
that
are
Livergrown
,
by
opening
the
Obstructions
thereof
.
It
helpeth
dim
Eyes
,
and
procureth
a
cleer
sight
,
the
Flowers
thereof
being
taken
all
the
while
it
is
Flowring
,
every
morning
fasting
with
bread
and
Salt
.
Both
Dioscorides
and
Galen
say
,
That
if
a
Decoction
be
made
thereof
with
Water
and
they
that
have
the
yellow
Jaundice
do
exercise
their
Bodies
presently
after
the
taking
thereof
,
it
will
certainly
cure
it
:
The
Flowers
and
the
Conserve
made
of
them
,
is
singular
good
to
comfort
the
Heart
,
and
to
expel
the
contagion
of
the
Pestilence
;
to
burn
the
Herb
in
Houses
and
Chambers
correcteth
the
Air
in
them
:
Both
the
Flowers
and
the
Leavs
are
very
profitable
for
Women
that
are
troubled
with
the
Whites
,
if
they
be
daily
taken
.
The
dried
Leavs
shred
smal
and
taken
in
a
Pipe
like
as
Tobacco
is
taken
,
helpeth
those
that
have
any
Cough
or
Phtisick
,
or
Consumption
,
by
warming
and
drying
the
thin
Distillations
which
caus
those
Diseases
.
The
Leavs
are
much
used
in
Bathings
,
and
made
into
Oyntments
or
Oyls
,
is
singular
good
to
help
cold
benummed
Joynts
,
Sinews
,
or
Members
.
The
Chimical
Oyl
drawn
from
the
Leavs
and
Flowers
,
is
a
Soveraign
help
for
all
the
Diseases
aforesaid
;
to
touch
the
Temples
and
Nostrils
with
two
or
three
drops
,
for
all
the
Diseases
of
the
Head
and
Brains
spoken
of
before
;
as
also
to
take
a
drop
two
or
three
as
the
caus
requireth
for
the
inward
griefs
,
yet
must
it
be
done
with
Descretion
,
for
it
is
very
quick
and
piercing
,
and
therefore
but
a
very
little
must
be
taken
at
a
time
.
There
is
also
another
Oyl
made
by
insolation
in
this
manner
:
Take
what
quantity
you
will
of
the
Flowers
,
and
put
them
into
a
strong
Glass
close
stopped
,
tie
a
fine
linnen
cloth
over
the
Mouth
,
and
turn
the
Mouth
down
into
another
strong
Glass
,
which
being
set
in
the
Sun
,
an
Oyl
will
distill
down
into
the
lower
Glass
,
to
be
preserved
as
precious
for
divers
uses
,
both
inward
and
outward
as
a
Sovereign
Balm
to
heal
the
Diseases
before
mentioned
,
to
cleer
a
dim
sight
,
and
to
take
away
spots
,
marks
and
scars
in
the
skin
.

Do
not
start
,
and
say
this
grows
you
know
not
how
far
off
;
and
then
ask
me
,
How
it
comes
to
pass
that
I
bring
it
among
our
English
Simples
:
for
though
the
name
may
speak
it
Forreign
yet
it
grows
with
us
in
England
,
and
that
frequent
enough
in
our
Gardens
,
and
when
you
have
throughly
perused
its
Vertues
,
you
will
conclude
it
nothing
inferior
to
that
which
is
brought
us
out
of
China
,
&
by
that
time
this
hath
been
as
much
used
as
that
hath
been
,
the
name
which
the
other
hath
gotten
wil
be
eclipsed
by
the
fame
of
this
:
Take
therfore
a
Description
at
large
of
it
,
as
followeth
.
Description
.
At
the
first
appearing
out
of
the
ground
when
the
Winter
is
past
,
it
hath
a
great
round
brownish
head
rising
from
the
middle
or
sides
of
the
Root
,
which
openeth
it
self
into
sundry
Leavs
one
after
another
,
very
much
crumpled
or
folded
together
at
the
first
,
and
brownish
,
but
afterward
it
spreadeth
it
self
and
becometh
smooth
very
large
and
almost
round
,
every
one
standing
on
a
brownish
Stalk
of
the
thickness
of
a
mans
Thumb
,
when
they
are
grown
to
their
fulness
,
and
most
of
them
two
foot
and
more
in
length
,
especially
when
they
grow
in
any
moist
or
good
Ground
;
and
the
Stalk
of
the
Leaf
also
from
the
bottom
thereof
to
the
Leaf
it
self
,
being
also
two
Foot
,
The
breadth
thereof
from
edg
to
edg
in
the
broadest
place
,
being
also
two
foot
,
of
a
sad
or
dark
green
colour
,
of
a
fine
tart
,
or
sowrish
tast
,
much
more
pleasant
than
the
Garden
or
Wood
sorrel
.
From
among
these
riseth
up
some
but
not
every
yeer
,
a
strong
thick
Stalk
,
not
growing
so
high
as
the
Patience
or
Garden
Dock
,
with
such
round
Leavs
as
grow
below
,
but
smaller
,
at
every
Joynt
up
to
the
top
,
and
among
the
Flowers
which
are
white
spreading
forth
into
many
Branches
,
and
consisting
of
five
or
six
small
white
Leavs
apiece
,
hardly
to
be
discerned
from
the
white
threds
in
the
middle
,
and
seeming
to
be
all
threds
,
after
which
come
brownish
three
square
Seed
like
unto
other
Docks
,
but
larger
whereby
it
may
be
plainly
known
to
be
a
Dock
.
The
Root
groweth
in
time
to
be
very
great
,
with
divers
and
sundry
great
spreading
Branches
from
it
,
of
a
dark
,
brownish
,
or
reddish
colour
on
the
outside
,
with
a
pale
yellow
skin
under
it
which
covereth
the
inner
substance
or
Root
,
which
rind
and
Skin
being
pared
away
,
the
Root
appeareth
of
so
fresh
and
lively
a
colour
,
with
flesh
-
colour'd
Veins
running
through
it
,
that
the
choicest
of
that
Rubarb
that
is
brought
us
from
beyond
the
Seas
cannot
excel
it
:
Which
Root
if
it
be
dried
carefully
and
as
it
ought
(
which
must
be
in
our
Countrey
by
the
gentle
heat
of
a
fire
in
regard
the
Sun
is
not
hot
enough
here
to
do
it
,
and
every
piece
kept
from
touching
one
another
)
will
hold
his
colour
almost
as
well
as
when
it
is
fresh
;
and
hath
been
approved
of
and
commended
by
those
who
have
oftentimes
used
them
.
Place
.
It
groweth
in
Gardens
,
and
Flowreth
about
the
beginning
or
middle
of
June
,
and
the
Seed
is
ripe
in
July
.
Time
.
The
Roots
that
are
to
be
dried
and
kept
all
the
yeer
following
,
are
not
to
be
taken
up
before
the
Stalk
and
Leavs
be
quite
withered
and
gone
,
and
that
is
not
until
the
middle
or
end
of
October
;
and
if
they
be
taken
a
little
before
the
Leavs
do
spring
,
or
when
they
are
sprung
up
,
the
Roots
will
not
have
half
so
good
a
colour
in
them
.
I
have
given
the
precedence
unto
this
,
becaus
in
vertues
also
it
hath
the
preheminence
;
I
come
now
to
describe
unto
you
that
which
is
called
Patience
,
or
Monks
Rubarb
;
and
next
unto
that
,
the
great
round
Leav'd
Dock
,
or
Bastard
Rubarb
;
for
the
one
of
these
may
happily
supply
in
the
absence
of
the
other
;
being
not
much
unlike
in
their
Vertues
,
only
one
more
powerful
and
efficacious
than
the
other
;
and
Lastly
;
shall
shew
you
the
Vertues
of
all
the
three
Sorts
.
GARDEN
PATIENCE
,
or
MONKS
RUBARB
.
This
is
a
Dock
,
bearing
the
name
of
Rubarb
,
for
some
purging
quality
therein
,
and
groweth
up
with
large
tall
Stalks
,
set
with
somwhat
broad
and
long
fair
green
Leavs
,
not
dented
at
all
;
The
tops
of
the
Stalks
being
devided
into
many
smal
Branches
,
bear
reddish
or
purplish
Flowers
,
and
three
square
Seed
like
unto
other
Docks
.
The
Root
is
long
,
great
and
yellow
like
unto
the
wild
Docks
,
but
a
little
redder
,
and
if
it
be
a
little
dried
sheweth
less
store
of
discoloured
veins
,
than
the
next
doth
when
it
is
dry

GREAT
ROUND
LEAV'D
DOCK
,
or
BASTARD
RUBARB
.
Description
.
This
hath
divers
large
,
round
,
thin
,
yellowish
green
Leavs
,
rising
from
the
Root
,
a
little
waved
about
the
edges
,
every
one
standing
on
a
reasonable
thick
,
and
long
brownish
Footstalk
;
from
among
which
,
riseth
up
a
pretty
big
Stalk
about
two
foot
high
,
with
some
such
like
Leavs
growing
thereon
,
but
smaller
.
At
the
top
whereof
stand
in
a
long
spike
many
smal
brownish
Flowers
,
which
turn
into
hard
three
square
shining
brown
Seed
,
like
the
Garden
Patience
before
described
.
This
Root
groweth
greater
than
that
,
with
many
Branches
or
great
Fibres
thereat
,
yellow
on
the
outside
,
and
somwhat
pale
yellow
within
,
with
some
discoloured
veins
like
to
the
Rubarb
which
is
first
discribed
,
but
much
less
than
it
,
especially
when
it
is
dry
.
Place
and
Time
.
These
also
grow
in
Gardens
and
Flower
and
Seed
at
or
neer
the
same
time
that
our
true
Rubarb
doth
,

they
Flower
in

,
and
the
Seed
is
ripe
in
July
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
A
dram
of
the
dried
Root
of
Monks
Rubarb
,
with
a
scruple
of
Ginger
made
into
Pouder
and
taken
fasting
in
a
draught
or
mess
of
warm
Broth
,
purgeth
Choller
and
Flegm
downward
very
gently
,
and
safely
without
danger
:
The
Seed
thereof
contrarily
doth
bind
the
Belly
,
and
helpeth
to
stay
any
sort
of
Lask
or
Bloody
Flux
.
The
distilled
water
thereof
is
very
profitably
used
to
heal
Scabs
,
as
also
foul
Ulcerous
Sores
,
and
to
allay
the
Inflamations
of
them
:
The
Juyce
of
the
Leavs
or
Roots
,
or
the
Decoction
of

used
as
a
most
effectual
Remedy
to
heal
Scabs

The
Bastard
Rubarb
hath
all
the
properties
of
the
Monks
Rubarb
,
but
more
effectual
for
both
inward
and
outward
Diseases
.
The
Decoction
thereof
with
Vinegar
dropped
into
the
Ears
,
taketh
away
the
pains
:
gargled
in
the
Mouth
,
taketh
away
Toothach
,
and
being
drunk
healeth
the
Jaundice
.
The
Seed
thereof
taken
easeth
the
gnawing
and
griping
pains
of
the
Stomach
,
and
taketh
away
the
loathing
thereof
unto
Meat
:
The
Root
thereof
helpeth
the
ruggedness
of
the
Nails
,
and
being
boyled
in
Wine
helpeth
the
Swellings
of
the
Throat
,
commonly
called
the
Kings
evil
,
as
also
the
Swellings
of
the
Kernels
of
the
Ears
:
It
helpeth
them
that
are
troubled
with
the
Stone
;
provoketh
Urine
,
and
helpeth
the
dimness
of
the
Sight
.
The
Roots
of
this
Bastard
Rubarb
are
used
in
opening
and
purging
Diet
Drinks
with
other
things
,
to
open
the
Liver
,
and
to

The
properties
of
that
which
is
called
the
English
Rubarb
,
are
the
same
with
the
former
,
but
much
more
effectual
,
and
hath
all
the
properties
of
the
true
Indian
Rubarb
,
except
the
force
in
purging
,
wherein
it
is
but
of
half
the
strength
thereof
,
and
therfore
a
double
quantity
must
be
used
:
it
likewise
hath
not
that
bitterness
and
astriction
;
in
other
things
it
worketh
almost
in
an
equal
quality
,
which
are
these
:
It
purgeth
the
Body
of
Choller
and
Flegm
,
being
either
taken
of
it
self
,
made
into
Pouder
and
drunk
in
a
draught
of
white
Wine
,
or
steeped
therein
all
night
and
taken
fasting
,
or
put
among
other
Purgers
,
as
shall
be
thought
convenient
,
clensing
the
Stomach
,
Liver
,
and
Blood
,
opening
Obstructions
,
and
helping
those
griefs
that
come
thereof
;
as
the
Jaundice
,
Dropsie
,
swelling
of
the
Spleen
,
Tertian
and
day
Agues
,
and
the
pricking
pain
of
the
sides
,
and
also
it
stayeth
spitting
of
Blood
.
The
Pouder
taken
with
Cassia
dissolved
,
and
a
little
wash'd
Venice
Turpentine
,
clenseth
the
Reins
and
strengthneth
them
afterwards
,
and
is
very
effectual
to
stay
the
running
of
the
Reins
or
Gonorrea
.
It
is
also
given
for
the
pains
and
swellings
in
the
Head
,
for
those
that
are
troubled
with
Melancholly
,
and
helpeth
the
Sciatica
,
the
Gout
,
and
the
Cramp
.
The
Pouder
of
Rubarb
taken
wih
a
little
Mummia
and
Madder
Roots
in
some
red
Wine
,
dissolveth
clotted
Blood
in
the
Body
,
hapning
by
any
fall
or
bruise
,
and
healeth
burstings
and
broken
parts
as
well
inward
as
outward
:
The
Oyl
likewise
wherein
it
hath
been
boyled
,
worketh
the
like
effects
,
being
anointed
.
It
is
used
to
heal
those
Ulcers
that
happen
in
the
Eyes
and
Eyelids
,
being
steeped
and
strained
;
as
also
to
asswage
the
Swellings
and
Inflamations
;
and
applied
with
Honey
,
or
boyled
Wine
,
it
taketh
away
all
black
and
blue
Spots
or
Marks
that
happen
therein
.
Whey
,
or
white
Wine
are
the
best
Liquors
to
steep
it
in
,
and
thereby
it
worketh
more
effectually
in
opening
Obstructions
,
and
purging
the
Stomach
and

RUSHES
.
Although
there
are
many
kinds
of
Rushes
,
yet
I
shall
only
here
insist
upon
those
which
are
best
known
,
and
most
Medicinal
,
as
the
Bulrushes
,
and
other
of
the
soft
and
smooth
kinds
;
which
grow
so
commonly
in
almost
every
place
of
this
Land
,
and
are
so
generally
noted
,
that
I
suppose
it
needless
to
trouble
you
with
any
Description
of
them
:
Briefly
then
take
the
Vertues
of
them
as
followeth
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Seeds
of
these
soft
Rushes
,
saith
Dioscorides
and
Galen
,
toasted
(
saith
Pliny
)
being
drunk
in
Wine
and
Water
,
stayeth
the
Lask
and
Womens
Courses
when
they
come
down
too
abundantly
:
but
it
causeth
Headach
:
It
provoketh
sleep
likewise
but
must
be
given
with
caution
,
lest
the
party
that
takes
it
wake
not
until
the
Resurrection
:
Pliny
saith
,
The
Root
boyled
in
water
to
the
consumption
of
one
third
,
helpeth
the
Cough
.
Thus
you
see
that
Conveniences
have
their
Inconveniences
,
and
Vertue
is
seldom
unaccompanied
with
some
Vices
.
What
I
have
written
concerning
Rushes
is
to
satisfie
my
Country
-
mens
Question
,
Are
our
Rushes
good
for
nothing
?
Yes
,
and
as
good
let
alone
as
taken
;
There
are
Remedies
enough
without
them
for
every
Diseas
,
and
therfore
as
the
Proverb
is
,
I
care
not
a
Rush
for
them
,
or
rather
they
will
do
you
as
much
good
as
if
one
had
given
you
a
Rush
.

Vertues
and
Use
.
It
is
an
Herb
of
the
Sun
,
and
under
the
Lion
,
and
therfore
you
need
not
demand
a
reason
why
it
strengthens
the
heart
so
exceedingly
;
Let
not
abov
ten
grains
be
given
at
one
time
,
for
if
the
Sun
which
is
the
Fountain
of
Life
,
may
dazle
the
Eyes
and
make
them
blind
,
a
Cordial
being
taken
in
an
immoderate
quantity
may
hurt
the
Heart
instead
of
helping
it
.
It
quicken
the
Brain
,
for
the
Sun
is
exalted

*
as
well
as
he
hath

Consumption

it

an

:
It
is
a
notable
expulsive
Medicine
,
and
a
notable
Remedy
for
the
yellow
Jaundice
.
My
own
Opinion
is
(
but
I
have
no
Author
for
it
)
that
Hermodactils
is
nothing
else
but
the
Roots
of
Saffron
dried
,
and
my
reason
is
,
that
the
Roots
of
all
Crocus
both
white
and
yellow
purge
Flegm
as
Hermodactils
do
,
and
if
you
please
to
dry
the
Roots
of
any
Crocus
,
neither
your
eye
nor
your
tast
shal
distinguish
it
from
Hermodactils

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Root
of
Solomons
Seal
is
found
by
experience
to
be
available
in
Wounds
,
Hurts
,
and
outward
Sores
,
to
heal
and
close
up
the
lips
of
those
that
are
green
,
and
to
dry
up
and
restrain
the
Flux
of
Humors
to
those
that
are
old
:
It
is
singular
good
to
stay
Vomitings
,
and
Bleedings
wheresoever
,
as
also
al
Fluxes
in
man
or
woman
,
whether
the
Whites
or
Reds
in
Women
,
or
the
running
of
the
Reins
in
men
;
also
to
knit
any
Joynt
which
by
weakness
useth
to
be
often
out
of
place
,
or
will
not
stay
in
long
,
when
it
is
set
:
also
to
knit
and
joyn
broken
Bones
in
any
part
of
the
Body
,
the
Roots
being
bruised
and
applied
to
the
place
.
Yea
it
hath
been
found
by
late
experience
that
the
Decoction
of
the
Root
in
Wine
,
or
the
bruised
Root
put
in
Wine
or
other
drink
,
and
after
a
nights
infusion
strained
forth
hard
and
drunk
,
hath
holpen
both
man
and
Beast
whose
Bones
have
been
broken
by
any
occasion
,
which
is
the
most
assured
refuge
of
help
to
people
of
diverse
Countries
of
this
Land
,
that
they
can
have
:
It
is
no
less
effectual
to
help
Rupture
and
Burstings
,
the
Decoction
in
Wine
,
or
the
Pouder
in
Broth
or
Drink
being
inwardly
taken
and
outwardly
applyed
to
the
Place
:
The
same
is
also
available
for
inward
or
outward
Bruises
,
Falls
or
Blows
,
both
to
dispel
the
congealed
blood
,
and
to
take
away
both
the
pains
and
the
black
and
blew
Marks
that
abide
after
the
hurt
.
The

very
effectual

At
the
tops
of
the
Stalks
stand
Umbels
of
white
Flowers
,
after
which
comes
small
and
blackish
Seed
:
The
Root
is
long

Our
lesser
Burnet
Saxifrage

hath
much
finer
Leaves

The
Umbels

These
grow
in

Meadows
of
this
Land
,

are
easie
to

Vertues
and
Use
.
These
Saxifrages
are
as
hot
as
Pepper
,
and
Tragus
saith
by
his
experience
they
are
more
wholsom
:
They
have
the
same
properties
that
the
Parsleys
have
,
but
in
provoking
Urine
,
and
easing
the
pains
thereof
,
or
of
the
Wind
and
Chollick
,
are
much
more
effectual
;
The
Roots
or
Seed
being
used
either
in
Pouder
,
or
in
Decoction
,
or
any
other
way
;
and
likewise
helpeth
the
Windy
pains
of
the
Mother
,
and
to
procure
their
Courses
,
to
break
and
avoid
the
Stone
in
the
Kidneys
,
to
digest
cold
,
viscous
,
and
tough
Flegm
in
the
Stomach
,
and
is
a
most
especial
Remedy
against
all
kind
of
Venom
.
Castorium
being
boyled
in
the
distilled
water
hereof
,
is
singular
good
to
be
given
to
those
that
are
troubled
with
Cramps
and
Convulsions
:
some
do
use
to
make
the
Seed
into
Comfits
(
as
they
do
Caraway
Seed
)
which
is
effectual
to
all
the
purposes
aforesaid
.
The
Juyce
of
the
Herb
dropped
into
the
most
grievous
Wounds
of
the
Head
,
drieth
up
their
moisture
and
healeth
them
quickly
.
Some
Women
use
the
distilled
Water
,
to
take
away
Freckles
or
Spots
in
the
Skin
or

SCABIOUS
,
THREE
SORTS
.
Description
.
The
common
Field
Scabious
groweth
up
with
many
hairy
soft
,
whitish
green
Leaves
,
some
whereof
are
but
very
little
,
if
at
all
jagged
on
the
edges
,
others
very
much
rent
and
torn
on
the
sides
,
and
have
threds
in
them
,
which
upon
the
breaking
may
be
plainly
seen
:
from
among
which
rise
up
diverse
hairy
green
Stalks
three
of
four
foot
high
,
with
such
like
hairy
green
leavs
on
them
,
but
more
deeply
and
finely
devided
,
branched
forth
a
little
:
At
the
tops
hereof
which
are
naked
and
bare
of
Leaves
for
a
good
space
,
stand
round
Heads
of
Flowers
,
of
a
pale
blewish
colour
set
together
in
a
head
,
the
outermost
wherof
are
larger
than
the
inward
,
wth
many
threds
also
in
the
middle
,
somwhat
flat
at
the
top
,
as
the
Head
with
Seed
is
likewise
:
The
Root
is
great
,
white
,
&
thick
growing
down
deep
into
the
ground
,
and
abideth
many
yeers
.
There
is
another
sort
of
Field
Scabious
,
different
in
nothing
from
the
former
,
but
only
it
is
smaller
in
all
respects
.
The
Corn
Scabious
,
differeth
little
from
the
first
,
but
that
it
is
greater
in
all
respects
and
the
Flowers
more
declining
to
Purple
:
And
the
Root
creepeth
under
the
upper
crust
of
the
Earth
,
and
runneth
not
deep
in
the
ground
as
the
first
doth
.
Place
.
The
first
groweth
most
usually
in
Meadows
,
especially
about
London
every
where
.
The
second
in
some
of
the
dry
Fields
about
this
City
,
but
not
so
plentiful
as
the
former
.
The
third
,
in
the
standing
Corn
,
or
Fallow
Fields
,
and
the
borders
of
such
like
Fields
.
Time
.
They
Flower
in
June
and
July
,
and
some
abide
Flowring
until
it
be
late
in
August
,
and
the
Seed
is
ripe
in
the
mean
time
.
There
are
many
other
sorts
of
Scabious
,
but
I
take
those
which
I
have
here
described
to
be
most
familiar
with
us
;
The
vertues
both
of
these
and
the
rest
being
much
alike
,
take
them
as
followeth
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
Scabious
is
very
effectual
for
all
sorts
of
Coughs
,
shortness
of
Breath
,
and
all
other
Diseases
of
the
Breast
and
Lungs
,
ripening
and
digesting
cold
Flegm
,
and
other
tough
humors
,
voiding
them
forth
by
Coughing
and
spitting
:
It
ripeneth
also
all
sorts
of
inward
Ulcers
and
Impostumes
,
the
Plurisie
also
,
if
the
Decoction
of
the
Herb
dry
or
green
,
be
made
with
Wine
,
and
drunk
for
some
time
together
:
four
ounces
of
the
clarified
Juyce
of
Scabious
taken
in
the
morning
fasting
,
with
a
dram
of
Methridate
,
or
Venice
Treacle
,
freeth
the
heart
from
any
infection
of
Pestilence
,
if
after
the
taking
of
it
,
the
party
sweat
two
hours
in
their
Beds
;
and
this
Medicine
be
again
and
again
repeated
if
need
require
:
The
green
Herb
bruised
and
applied
to
any
Carbuncle
or
Plague
sore
,
is
found
by
certain
experience
to
dissolve
or
break
it
in
three
hours
space
.
The
same
Decoction
also
drunk
,
helpeth
the
pains
and
Stitches
in
the
sides
.
The
Decoction
of
the
Roots
taken
for
fourty
daies
together
,
or
a
dram
of
the
Pouder
of
them
taken
at
a
time
in
Whey
,
doth
(
as
Mathiolus
saith
)
wonderfully
help
those
that
are
troubled
with
running
or
spreading
Scabs
,
Tetters
,
or
Ringworms
,
yea
though
they
proceed
of
the
French
Pox
,
which
he
saith
he
hath
tryed
by
experience
:
The
Juyce
or
Decoction
drunk
,
helpeth
also
Scabs
and
breakings
out
in
Itch
and
the
like
:
The
Juyce
also
made
up
into
an
Oyntment
and
used
,
is
effectual
for
the
same
purpose
.
The
same
also
helpeth
all
inward
Wounds
by
the
drying
,
clensing
,
and
healing
quality
therin
:
A
Syrup
made
of
the
Juyce
and
Sugar
is
very
effectual
to
all
the
purposes
aforesaid
,
and
so
is
the
distilled
water
of
the
Herb
and
Flowers
made
in
due
season
;
especially
to
be
used
when
the
green
Herb
is
not
in
force
to
be
taken
.
The
Decoction
of
the
Herb
and
Roots
outwardly
applied
,
doth
wonderfully
help
al
sorts
of
hard
or
cold
Swellings
,
in
any
part
of
the
Body
;
and
is
as
effectual
for
any
shrunk
Sinew
or
Vein
.
The
Juyce
of
Scabious
made
up
with
the
Pouder
of
Borax
and
Camphire
,
clenseth
the
Skin
of
the
Face
or
other
part
of
the
Body
,
not
only
from
Freckles
and
Pimples
,
but
also
from
Morphew
and
Lepry
.
The
Head
washed
with
the
same
Decoction
clenseth
it
from
Drandrif
,
Scurf
,
Sores
,
Itches
,
and
the
like
,
being
used
warm
.
Tents
also
dipped
in
the
Juyce
or
Water
thereof
not
only
healeth
all
green
Wounds
,
but
old
Sores
and
Ulcers
also
:
The
Herb
also
bruised

applied
doth
in
short
time

SCURVY

Leaves
thereon
like

whereof
grow
many

,
which
hath

Vertues
and

The
English
Scurvy
-
grass
is
more
used
for
the
Salt
tast
it
beareth
,
wch
doth
somwhat
open
and
clense
;
but
the
Dutch
Scurvy
-
grass
is
of
better
effect
,
and
chiefly
used
(
if
it
may
be
had
)
by
those
that
have
the
Scurvey
,
especially
to
purge
and
clense
the
Blood
,
the
Liver
,
and
the
Spleen
,
for
all
which
Diseases
it
is
of
singular
good
effect
by
taking
the
Juyce
in
the
Spring
every
morning
fasting
in
a
cup
of
Drink
:
The
Decoction
is
good
for
the
same
purpose
,
and
the
Herb
tunned
up
in
new
Drink
,
either
by
it
self
or
with
other
things
,
for
it
openeth
Obstructions

consuming
both
the
swelling

thereby
bringing
to
the

Description
.
The
common
Self

heal
is
a
small
low
creeping
Herb
,
having
many
small
roundish
pointed
Leavs
somwhat
like
the
Leaves
of
Wild
Mints
,
of
a

on
the
edges
,
from
among
which

of
a
blewish
purple
,
or
more
pale
blew
,
in
some
places
sweet
,

:
The
Root
consists
of
many
strings
or
fibres
downward
,
and
spreadeth
strings
also
,
whereby
it
encreaseth

forth
fibres
taking
hold

whereto
Bugle
is
applied
with
good
success
either
inwardly

,
for
inward
Wounds
or
Ulcers
wheresoever
within
the

Falls
and
such
like
hurts
:
if
it
be
accompanied
with
Bugle
,
Sanicle
,
and
other
the
like
Wound

it
will
be
the
more
effectual
,
and
to
wash
or
inject
into
Ulcers
in
the
parts
outwardly
where
there
is
cause
to
repress
the
heat
and
sharpness
of
Humors
flowing
to
any
sore
Ulcer
,
Inflamation
,
Swelling
or
the
like
,
or
to
stay
the
Flux
of
blood
in
any
Wound
or
Part
,
this
is
used
with
good
success
,
as
also
to
clense
the
foulness
of
Sores
,
and
cause
them
more
speedily
to
be
healed
.
It
is
an
especial
Remedy
for
all
green
Wounds
to
soder
the
lips
of
them
,
and
to
keep
the
place
from
any
further
inconveniences
:
The
Juyce
hereof
used
with
Oyl
of
Roses
to
anoint
the

Forehead
,
is
very
effectual
to
remove
the
Headach
:
and
the
same
mixed
with
Honey
of
Roses
,
clenseth
and
healeth
all
Ulcers
in
the
Mouth

Throat
,
and
those
also
in
the
secret
parts
.
And
the
Proverb
of
the
Germans
,
French
,
and
others
is
verified
in
this
,
That
he
needeth
neither
Physitian

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Country
people
in
diverse
places
do
use
to
bruise
the
Leaves
of
Sopewort
,
and
lay
it
to
their
Fingers
,
Hands
,
or
Legs
when
they
are
cut
,
to
heal
them
up
again
.
Some
make
great
boast
thereof
that
it
is
Diuretical
to
provoke
Urine
,
and
thereby
to
expel
Gravel
and
the
Stone
in
the
reins
or
Kidneys
:
and
do
also
account
it
singular
good
to
avoid
Hydropical
waters
thereby
to
cure
the
disease
of
the
Dropsie
:
And
they
no
less
extol
it
to
perform
an
absolute
cure
in
the
French
Pox
,
more
than
either
Sarsaparilla

Sorrel
is
prevalent
in
all
hot
Diseases
,
to
cool
any
Inflamation
and
heat
of
Blood
in
Agues
Pestilential
or
Chollerick
,
or
other
sicknesses
and
faintings
,
rising
from
heat
,
and
to
refresh
the
overspent
Spirits
with
the
violence
of
furious
or
fiery
fits
of
Agues
,
to
quench
Thirst
,
and
procure
an
Appetite
in
fainting
or
decayd
Stomachs
:
for
it
resisteth
the
putrefaction
of
the
Blood
,
killeth
Worms
,
and
is
as
a
Cordial
to
the
heart
which
the
Seed
doth
more
effectually
being
more
drying
and
binding
,
and
thereby
stayeth
the
hot
Fluxes
of
Womens
Courses
,
or
of
Humors
in
the
Bloody
Flux
,
or
Flux
of
the
Stomach
.
The
Roots
also
in
a
Decoction
,
or
in
Pouder
,
is
effectual
for
all
the
said
purposes
.
Both
Roots
and
Seed
as
well
as
the
Herb
is
held
powerful
to
resist
the
poyson
of
the
Scorpion
.
The
Decoction
of
the
Roots
is
taken
to
help
the
Jaundice
,
and
to
expel
Gravel
and
the
Stone
in
the
Reins
or
Kidneys
.
The
Decoction
of
the
Flowers
made
with
Wine
and
drunk
helpeth
the
black
Jaundice
,
as
also
the
inward
Ulcers
of
the
Body
or
Bowels
.
A
Syrup
made
with
the
Juyce
of
Sorrel
and
Fumitary
is
a
Soveraign
help
to
kill
those
sharp
Humors
that
cause
the
Itch
.
The
Juyce
thereof
with
a
little
Vinegar
serveth
well
to
be
used
outwardly
for
the
same
cause
,
and
is
also
profitable
for
Tetters
,
Ringworms
&c
.
It
helpeth
also
to
discuss
the
Kernels
in
the
Throat
,
and
the
Juyce
gargled
in
the
Mouth
helpeth
the
Sores
therein

The
Herb
boyled
in

:
And
the
Milk
that
is

is
beneficial
to

The

Dioscorides
saith
,
That
the
Seed
bruised
,
heated
in
warm
Water
&
drunk
,
helpeth
those
that
are
Bursten
,
or
troubled
with
Cramps
,
or
Convulsions
of
the
Sinews
,
the
Sciatica
,
or
difficulty
in
making
water
,
and
bringeth
down
Womens
Courses
.
The
same
taken
in
Wine
is
an
Antidote
or
Counter
poyson
against
all
deadly
Poyson
,
and
driveth
away
Serpents
,
and
other
venemous
Creatures
;
as
also
the
smel
of
the
Herb
being
Burnt
,
doth
the

The
Oyl
thereof
anointed
on
the
Backbone
before
the
Fits
of
Agues
come
taketh
them
away
:
it
taketh
away
Inflamations
in
the

the
Body
.
The
Seed
as
well
as
the
dried
Herb
is
often
given
to
kill
the
Worms
in
Children
:
The
Herb
bruised
and
laid
to
,
helpeth
to
draw
forth
Splinters
,
and
Thorns
out
of
the
Flesh
.
The
Ashes
thereof
dryeth
up
and
healeth
old
Ulcers
that
are
without
Inflamation
,
although
by
the
sharpness
thereof
it
biteth
sore
and
putteth
them
to
sore
pains
:
as
also
the
Sores
in
the
privy
Parts
of

The
Ashes
mingled
with
old
Sallet
Oyl
,
helpeth
those
that
have
their
hair
fallen

are
bald
,
causing
the

That
the
Oyl
made
of
Southernwood

the
Oyntments
that
are
used
against
the
French

,
is
very

said
to
help
them
much
that
are
troubled
with
the
Stone
,
as
also
for
the
Diseases
of
the
Spleen
and
Mother
.
The
Germans
commend
it
for
a
singular
Wound

,
and
therefore
call
it
Stabwort

The
Roots
of
common
Spignel
do
spread
much
and
deep
in
the
ground
,
many
strings
or
branches
growing
from
one
Head
which
is
hairy

,
of
a

Leaves
at

,
and
at
the

an
Umbel
of
fine
pure
white
Flowers
,
at

,
and
are
succeeded
by
smal
somwhat
round

Vertues
and
Use
.
Galen
saith
,
The
Roots
of
Spignel
are
available
to
provoke
Urine
and
Womens
Courses
,
but
if
too
much
thereof
be
taken
it
causeth
Headach
:
The
Roots
boyled
in
Wine
or
Water
and
drunk
,
helpeth
the
Strangury
,
and
stoppings
of
the
Urine
,
the
Wind
,
swellings
and
pains
in
the
Stomach
,
pains
of
the
Mother
,
and
all
Joynt
Aches
.
If
the
Pouder
of
the
Roots
be
mixed
with
Honey
,
and
the
same
taken
as
a
licking
Medicine
,
it
breaketh
tough
Flegm
,
and
drieth
up
the
Rhewm
that
falleth
on
the
Lungs
.
The
Roots
are
accounted
very
effectual
against
the
stinging
or
biting
of
any
Venemous
Creature
,

It
is
profitable
for
those
that
are
troubled
with
the
Stone
in
the
Kidneys
,
both
to
ease
pains
and
by
provoking
Urine
to
expel
Gravel
and
the
Stone
ingendred
therein
,
and
hath
been
found
very
effectual
to
expel
windiness
and
other
Humors
which
cause
the
strangling
of
the
Mother
:
The
Seed
hereof
is
very
effectual
to
help
the
Toothach
,
and
the
Ashes
of
the
burnt
Herb
,
to
clense
the
Gums
,
and
make
the
Teeth

.
The
Herb
bruised
and
applied
to
the
place
grieved
with
the
Kings
Evil
(
as
they
call
it
)
helpeth
it
in
nine
or
ten
daies
effectually
:
Monardus
saith
it
is
a
Counter
-
poyson
for
the
biting
of
any
Venemous
Creature
;
the
Herb
also
being
outwardly
applied
to
the
hurt
place
:
The
distilled
water
is
often
given
with
some
Sugar
before
the
Fit
of
an
Ague
to
lessen
them
,
and
take
them
away
in
three
or
four
times
using
.
If
the
Distilled
fieces
of
the
Herb
having
been
bruised
before
the
Distillation
,
and
not
distilled
dry
be
set
in
warm
dung
for
fourteen
daies
,
and
afterwards
hung
up
in
a
Bag
in
a
Wine
Celler
;
that
liquor
that
distilleth
therefrom
is
singular
good
to
use
for
Cramps
,
Aches
,
the
Gout
,
and
Sciatica
,
and
to
heal
Itches
,
Scabs
,
and
running
Ulcer

:
The
Juyce
is
also
good
for

likewise
to
kill

The

Vertues
and
Use
.
If
the
Root
,
Leaves
,
or
yong
Branches
be
boyled
in
Wine
or
Vinegar
and
drunk
,
and
applied
outwardly
,
it
is
very
powerful
against
the
hardness
of
the
spleen
.
The
Leaves
boyled
in
Wine
and
drunk
is
good
to
stay
the
bleeding
of
the
Hemorrhoidal
Veins
,
the
spitting
of
Blood
,
and
Womens
too
abounding
Courses
,
and
helpeth
the
Jaundice
,
the
Chollick
,
and
the
bitings
of
all
Venemous
Serpents
,
except
the
Asp
.
The
Bark
is
as
effectual
if
not
more
to
all
the
purposes
aforesaid
,
and
both
it
and
the
Leaves
boyled
in
Wine
,
and
the
Mouth
and
Teeth
washed
therewith
helpeth
the
Toothach
;
being
dropped
into
the
Ears
easeth
the
pains
,
and
is
good
for
the
redness
and
watering
of
the
Eyes
.
The
said
Decoction
with
some
Honey
put
thereto
is
good
to
stay
Gangrenes
and
fretting
Ulcers
,
and
to
wash
those
that
are
subject
to
Nits
and
Lice
.
The
Wood
is
very
effectual
to
consume
the
Spleen
,
and
therefore
to
drink
out
of
Cups
and
Cans
made
thereof
is
good
for
Splenetick
persons
.
The
Ashes
of
the
Wood
are
used
for
all
the
purposes
aforesaid
,
and
besides
doth
quickly
help
the
Blisters
raised

Alpinus

That
the
Aegyptians
do
with
as
good
success
use
the
Wood
hereof
to
cure
the
French
Disease
,
as

Vertues
and
Use
.
Thee
Decoction
of
the
common
Tansie
,
or
the
Juyce
drunk
in
Wine
is
a
singular
Remedy
for
all
the
griefs
that
come
by
stopping
of
the
Urine
,
helpeth
the
Strangury
and
those
that
have
weak
Reins
and
Kidneys
:
It
is
also
very
profitable
to
dissolve
and
expel
Wind
in
the
Stomach
,
Belly
,
or
Bowels
,
to
procure
Womens
Courses
,
and
expel
windiness
in
the
Matrix
.
If
it
be
bruised
and
often
smelled
unto
,
as
also
applied
to
the
lower
part
ofthe
Belly
,
it
is
very
profitable
for
such
Women
as
are
given
to
miscarry
in
Childbearing
,
to
caus
them
to
go
out
their
full
time
:
It
is
used
also
against
the
Stone
in
the
Reins
,
especially
to
men
.
The
Herb
fried
with
Eggs
(
as
is
accustomed
in
the
Spring
time
)
which
is
called
a
Tansie
,
helpeth
to
digest
,
and
carry
downward
those
bad
Humors
that
trouble
the
Stomach
:
The
Seed
is
very
profitably
given
to
Children
for
the
Worms
,
and
the
Juyce
in
Drink
is
as
effectual
.
Being
boyled
in
Oyl
it
is
good
for
the
sinews
shrunk
by
Cramps
,
or
pained
with
cold
,
if
thereto
applied
.
Dame
Venus
was
minded
to
pleasure
Women
with
Child
by
this
Herb
,
for
there
grows
not
an
Herb
fitter
for
their
uses
than
this
is
,
it
is
just
as
though
it
were
cut
out
for
the
purpose
,
the
Herb
bruised
and
applied
to
the
Navil
staies
miscarriage
,
I
know
no
Herb
like
it
for
that
use
;
boyled
in
ordinary
Beer
,
and
the
Decoction
drunk
,
doth
the
like
,
and
if
her
Womb
be
not
as
she
would
have
,
this
Decoction
will
make
it
as
she
would
have
it
,
or
as
least
as
she
should
have
it
;
let
those
Women
that
desire
Children
love
this
Herb
,
'tis
their
best
Companion
,
their
Husband
excepted
.
Also
it
consumes
the
Flegmatick
Humors
,
the
cold
and
moist
constitution
of
Winter
most
usually
infects
the
Body
of
Man
with
,
and
that
was
the
first
reason
of
eating
Tansies
in
the
Spring
,
as
last
the
world
being
over
run
with
Popery
,
a
Monster
called
Superstition
perks
up
his
head
,
and
as
a
just
Judgment
of
God
obscures
the
bright
beams
of
Knowledg
by
his
dismal
looks
(
Pysitians
seeing
the
Pope
and
his
Imps
selfish
they
began
to
be
so
too
)
and
now
forsooth
Tansies
must
be
eaten
only
on
Palm
and
Easter
Sundaies
,
and
their
neighbor
daies
;
as
last
Superstion
of
the
time
was
found
out
,
but
the
Vertue
of
the
Herb
hidden
,
and
now
'tis
almost
,
if
not
altogether
,
left
off
:
Surely
our
Physitians
are
beholding
to
none
so
much
as
they
are
to
Monks
and
Fryars
,
for
want
of
eating
this
Herb
in
Spring
,
make
people
sickly
in
Summer
,
and
that
makes
work
for
the
Physitian
.
If
it
be
against
any
man
or
womans
Conscience
to
eat
a
Tansie
in
the
Spring
,
I
am
as
unwilling
to
burden
their
consciences
as
I
am
that
they
should
burden
mine
,
they
may
boyl
it
in
Wine
and
drink
the
Decoction
,
it
will
work
the
same
effect

The

of

taken
in

helpeth
the

more

dented

there
shooteth
forth
another

with
many
reddish
Purple
Thrums

Threds
in
the
middle
,
which
being
gathered
fresh
will
keep
the
colour
a
long

fadeth
not
from

Our
Ladies
Thistle
is
thought
to
be
as
effectual
as
Carduus
Benedictus
for
Agues
,
and
to
prevent
and
cure
infection
of
the
Plague
,
as
also
to
open
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
and
thereby
is
good
against
the
Jaundice
;
It
provoketh
Urine
,
breaketh
and
expelleth
the
Stone
,
and
is
good
for
the
Dropsie
:
It
is
effectual
also
for
the
pains
in
the
sides
and
many
other
inward
pains
and
gripings
:
The
Seed
and
distilled
water
are
held
powerful
to
all
the
purposes
aforesaid
;
and

it
is
often
applied

also
of
very
much

Cinkfoyl
doth
(
which
this
is
very
like
)
with
the
Footstalk
encompassing
the
Branches
in
several
places
,
but
those
that
grow
next
to
the
ground
are
set
upon
long
Footstalks
,
each
whereof
are
like
the
Leaves
of
Cinkfoyl

but
somwhat
longer

lesser
,
and
dented
about
the
edges
,
many
of
them
devided
but
into
five
Leaves
,
but
most
of
them
into
sevens
whence
it
is
also
called
Setfoyl

Vertues
and
Use
.
Tormentil
is
most
excellent
to
stay
all
kind
of
Fluxes
of
Blood
or
Humors
,
in
man
or
woman
,
whether
at
Nose
,
Mouth
,
Belly
,
or
any
Wound
in
the
Veins
or
elswhere
:
The
Juyce
of
the
Herb
or
Root
taken
in
drink
,
not
only
resisteth
all
Poyson
and
Venom
of
any
Creature
,
but
of
the
Plague
it
self
,
and
Pestilential
Feavers
,
and
contagious
Diseases
,
as
the
Pox
,
Measels
,
Purples
,
&c
.
expelling
the
Venom
and
Infection
from
the
Heart
by
sweating
,
if
the
green
Root
be
not
at
hand
to
be
had
,
the
Pouder
of
the
dry
Root
is
as
effectual
a
dram
thereof
being
taken
every
morning
:
The
Decoction
likewise
of
the
Herbs
and
Roots
made
in
Wine
and
drunk
worketh
the
same
effect
;
and
so
doth
the
distilled
water
of
the
Herb
and
Root
being
steeped
in
Wine
for
a
night
,
and
then
distilled
in
Balneo
Mariae
.
This
Water
thus
distilled
taken
with
some
Venice
Treacle
,
and
the
party
presently
laid
to
sweat
will
certainly
(
with
Gods
help
)
expel
any
Venom
or
poyson
,
or
the
Plague
,
Feaver
,
&c
.
for
it
is
an
ingredient
of
especial
respect
in
all
Antidotes
or
Counterpoysons
.
There
is
not
found
any
Root
more
effectual
to
help
any
Flux
of
the
Belly
,
Stomach
,
Spleen
,
or
Blood
than
this
,
to
be
taken
inwardly
,
or
applied
outwardly
.
The
Juyce
taken
doth
wonderfully
open
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
and
Lungs
,
and
thereby
in
short
space
helpeth
the
yellow
Jaundice
.

That
the
Garden
Valerian

a
warming
Faculty
,
and
that
being
dryed
and
given
to
drink
,
it
provoketh
Urine
and
helpeth
the
Strangury
:
The
Decoction
therof
taken
doth
the
like
also
,
and
taketh
away
pains
of
the

,
provoketh
Womens
Courses

Pliny
saith
,
That
the
Pouder
of
the
Root
given
in

,
or
the
Decoction
thereof
taken
,
helpeth
all
stoppings
and
stranglings

part
of
the
Body
,
whether
they
proceed
of
pains
in

.
The
Root
of
Valerian
boyled
with
Liquoris

are
troubled
with
the
Cough
,
and
helpeth
to

,
and
the
Root
being
used
to
smell

It
helpeth
also
to
expel
the

in
the
Belly
.
The
green
Herb
with
the
Root
taken
fresh
,

This
is
a

,
and
it
is
discreetly
done
to
kill
a

to
cure
a

to
be

sundry
smal

saith
,
That
the
yellow
Wall

worketh
more
powerfully
than
any
of
the
other
kinds
.
and
is
therefore
of
more
use
in
Physick
;
It
clenseth
the
Blood
and
freeth
the
Liver
and
Reins
from
Obstructions
,
provoketh
Womens
Courses
,
expelleth
the
Secondine

Vertues
and
Use
.
The
Bark
of
the
Tree
,
doth
bind
and
dry
very
much
,
and
the
Leaves
are
much
of
the
same
temperature
,
but
the
Leaves
when
they
are
older
,
are
heating
and
drying
the
Second
Degree
,
and
harder
of
digestion
than
when
they
are
fresh
,
which
by
reason
of
their
sweetness
are
more
pleasing
and
better
digesting
in
the
Stomach
,
and
taken
with
sweet
Wine
they
move
the
Belly
downwards
;
but
being
old
,
they
grieve
the
Stomach
,
and
in
hot
Bodies
cause
Choller
to
abound
,
and
the
Headach
,
and
are
an
enemy
to
those
that
have
the
Cough
:
But
are
less
hurtful
to
those
that
have
colder
Stomachs
,
and
are
said
to
kill
the
broad
Worms
in
the
Belly
or
Stomach
.
If
they
be
taken
with
Onions
,
Salt
,
and
Honey
,
they
help
the
biting
of
a
Mad
Dog
,
or
the
Venom
or
infectious
poyson
of
any
Beast
&c
.

Berries
,
which
taken
every
morning
fasting
,
preserveth
from
danger
of
Poyson
or
Infection
,
that
day
it
is
taken
.
The
Juyce
of
the
outer
green
Husks
,
boyled
up
with
Honey
,
is
an
excellent
gargle
for
sore
Mouths
,
the
Heat
and
Inflamations
in
the
Throat
and
Stomach
:
The
Kernels
when
they
grow
old
are
more
Oyly
,
and
therfore
not
so
fit
to
be
eaten
,
but
are
then
used
to
heal
the
Wounds
of
the
Sinews
,
Gangrenes
,
and
Carbuncles
;
The
said
Kernels
being
burned
,
are
then
very
astringent
,
and
will
then
stay
Lasks
and
Womens
Courses
,
being
taken
in
red
Wine
;
and
stay
the
falling
of
the
Hair
and
make
it
fair
,
being
anointed
with
Oyl
and
Wine
;
The
green
Husks
will
do
the
like
being
used
in
the
same
manner
.
The
Kernels
beaten
with
Rue
and
Wine
,
being
applied
,
helpeth
the
Quinsie
;
and
bruised
with
some
Honey
and
applied
to
the
Ears
,
easeth
the
pains
and
Inflamations
of
them
:
A
piece
of
the
green
Husk
put
unto
a
hollow
Tooth
,
easeth
the
pains
.
The
Catkins
hereof
taken
before
they
fall
off
,
dried
and
given
a
dram
thereof
in
pouder
with
white
Wine
,
wonderfully
helpeth
those
that
are
troubled
with
the
rising
of
the
Mother
.
The
Oyl
that
is
pressed
out
of
the
Kernels
,
is
very
profitably
taken
inward
like
Oyl
of
Almonds
,
to
help
the
Chollick
,
and
to
expel
wind
very
effectually
,
an
ounce
or
two
thereof
may
be
taken
at
a
time
.
The
yong
green
Nuts
taken
before
they
be
half
ripe
and
preserved
with
Sugar
,
are
of
good
use
for
those
that
have
weak
Stomachs
,
or
Defluxions
thereon
.
The
distilled
water
of
the
green
Husk
before
they
be
half
ripe
,
is
of
excellent
use
to
cool
the
heat
of
Agues
,
being
drunk
an
ounce
or
two
at
a
time
,
as
also
to
resist
the
Infection
of
the
Plague
,
if
some
thereof
be
also
applied
to
the
Sores
thereof
:
The
same
also
cooleth
the
heat
of
green
Wounds
and
old
Ulcers
,
and
healeth
them
being
bathed
therewith
:
The
distilled
Water
of
the
green
Husks
being
ripe
when
they
are
shelled
from
the
Nuts
,
being
drunk
with
a
little
Vinegar
,
is
also
found
by
experience
to
be
good
for
those
that
are
infected
with
the
Plague
,
so
as
before
the
taking
therof
of
a
Vein
be
opened
.
The
said
Water
is
very
good
against
the
Quinsin
being
gargled
and
bathed
therewith
,
and
wonderfully
helpeth
Deafness
,
the
Noise
,
and
other
pains
in
the
Ears
.
The
Distilled
water
of
the
yong
green
Leaves
in
the
end
of
May
performeth
a
singular
cure
on
foul
running
Ulcers
and
Sores
,

applied

Dioscorides
saith

That
to

Pliny
saith

Vertues
and
Use
.
Both
the
Leaves
,
Bark
,
and
the
Seed
are
used
to
stanch
bleeding
of
Wounds
,
and
at
Mouth
and
Nose
,
spitting
of
Blood
,
and
all
other
Fluxes
of
Blood
in
man
or
woman
,
and
to
stay
Vomiting
,
and
provocation
thereunto
,
if
the
Decoction
of
them
in
Wine
be
drunk
.
It
helpeth
also
to
stay
thin
,
hot
,
sharp
,
salt
Distillations
from
the
Head
upon
the
Lungs
causing
a
Consumption
:
The
Leaves
bruised
with
some
Pepper
and
drunk
in
Wine
,
much
helpeth
the
wind
Chollick
.
The
Leaves
bruised
and
boyled
in
Wine
and
drunk
staieth
the
heat
of
Lust
in
man
or
woman
,
and
quite
extinguisheth
it
,
if
it
be
long
used
;
The
Seed
is
also
of
the
same
effect
.
The
Water
that
is
gathered
from
the
Willow
when
it
flowreth
,
the
Bark
being
slit
,
and
a
fitting
Vessel
set
to
receive
it
,
is
very
good
for
redness
and
dimness
of
Sight
,
for
films
that
grow
over
the
Eyes
,
and
stay
the
Rhewms
that
fall
into
them
,
to
provoke
Urin
being
stopped
if
it
be
drunk
and
to
cleer
the
Face
and
Skin
from
Spots
and
Discolourings
.
Galen
saith
,
The
Flowers
have
an
admirable
faculty
in
drying
up
Humors
,
beeing
a
Medicine
without
any
sharpness
or
corrosion
:
You
may
boyl
them
in
white
Wine
,
and
drunk
as
much
as
you
will
(
So
you
drink
not
your
self
drunk
.
)
The
Bark
work
the
same
effects
,
if
used
in
the
same
manner
,
and
the
Tree
hath
alwaies
Bark
upon
it
though
not
alwaies

:
The
Burnt
ashes
of
the
Bark
,
being
mixed

It
hath

Leaves

From
among
which
Leaves
riseth
up
a
lusty
Stalk
three
or
four
foot
high
,
with
diverse
Leaves
set
thereon
;
The
higher
the
Stalk
riseth
,
the
smaller
are
the
Leaves
,
at
the
top
it
spreadeth
into
diverse
Branches
,
at
the
ends
of
which
appear
pretty
little
yellow
Flowers

Vertues
and
Use
.
Some
People
affirm
the
Plant
to
be
destructive
to
Bees
,
which
if
it
be
I
cannot
help
it
:
They
say
it
possesseth
Bees
with
a
Flux
,
but
that
I
can
hardly
beleeve
,
unless
Bees
be
contrary
to
all
other
Creatures
,
I
should
rather
think
it
possesseth
them
with
the
contrary
Disease
,
the
Herb
being
exceeding
drying
and
binding
.
However
,
if
any
Bees
be
diseased
thereby
,
the
cure
is
to
set
Urine
by
them
,
but
set
it
in
such
a
Vessel
that
they
cannot
drown
themselves
,
which
may
be
remedied
if
you
put
pieces
of
Cork
in
it
.
I
told
you
before
the
Herb
was
drying
and
binding
,
and
so
drying
and
binding
that
it
is
not
fit
to
be
given
inwardly
.
An
Oyntment
made
thereof
stancheth
Bleeding
:
A
Plaister
made
thereof
and
applied
to
the
Region
of
the
Spleen
(
and
I
pray
you
take
notice
,
that
the
Spleen
lies
on
the
left
side
)
takes
away
the
hardness
and
pains
thereof
:
The
Oyntment
is
excellent
good
in
such
Ulcers
as
abound
with
moisture
,
and
takes
away
the
corroding
and
fretting
Humors
:
It

Doctor

,
that
Hater
of

that
Lover

that

hath
taught
the
common

to
use
the
Leaves

Flowers
of
this
Plant
in
Mouth
Waters
,
and
by
long
continuance

hath
so
grounded
it
in
the
Brains
of
the
Vulgar
that
you
cannot
beat
it
out
with
a

All

ought
to
be
cooling

Honeysuckles
are
clensing

to
cause
a
sore

to

it

of
Jupiter
and
apropriated
to
the
Lungs
,
the
Coelestial
Crab
claims
Dominion
over
it
;
neither
is
it
a
Foe
to
the
Lyon
:
If
the
Lungs
be
afflicted
by
Mercury
,
this
is
your
Cure
:
It
is
fitting
a
Conserve
made
of
the
Flowers
of
it
were
kept
in
every
Gentlewomans
House
;
I
know
no
better
cure
for
an
Asthma
than
this
;
Besides
,
It
takes
away
the
evil
of
the
Spleen
,
provokes
Urine
,
procures
speedy
Delivery
to
Women
in
Travail
,
helps
Cramps
,
Convulsions
and
Palseys
,
and
whatsoever
griefs
comes
of
cold
or
stopping
:
If
you
please
to
make
use
of
it
in
an
Oyntment
,
it
will
cleer
your
Skin
of
Morphew
,
Freckles
,
and
Sunburning
,
or
whatsoever
else
discolours
it
,
and
then
the
Maids
will
love
it
.
I
have
done
,
when
I
have
told
you
what
Authors
say
,
and
cavelled
a
little
with
them
,
They
say
the
Flowers
are
of
more
effect
than
the
Leaves
,
and
that's
true
;
but
they
say
,
The
Seeds
are
of
least
effect
of
all
:
But
Dr
.
Reason
told
me
,
That
there
was
a
Vital
Spirit
in
every
Seed
to
beget
its
like
;
and
Dr
.
Experience
told
me
,
That
there
was
a
greater
heat
in
a
Seed
than
there
was
in
any
other
part
of
a
Plant
,
and
withal
,
That
Heat
was
the

WORMWOOD
.
Description
.
Three
Wormwoods
are
familiar
with
us
;
One
I
shall
not
descrabe
,
another
I
shall
describe
,
and
the
Third
be
Critical
at
.
And
I
care
not
greatly
if
I
begin
with
the
last
first
.
Sea
Wormwood
hath
gotten
as
many
Names
as
vertues
(
and
perhaps
one
more
)
Seriphion
,
Santonicon
,
Belgicum
,
Narbonense
,
Xantomicum
,
Misnense
,
and
a
matter
of
twenry
more
,
which
I
will
not
blot
Paper
withal
:
A
Papist
got
the
Toy
by
the
end
,
and
he
called
it
Holy
Wormwood
;
and
in
truth
I
am
of
Opinion
,
Their
giving
so
much
holiness
to
Herbs
is
the
Reason
there
remains
so
little
in
themselves
.
The
Seed
of
this
Wormwood
is
that
which
usually
Women
give
their
Children
for
the
Worms
:
Of
all
Wormwoods
that
grow
here
,
this
is
the
weakest
;
I
but
Doctors
commend
it
,
and
Apothecaries
sell
it
,
the
one
must
keep
his
Credit
,
and
the
other
get
Money
,
and
that's
the
key
of
the
work
.
The
Herb
is
good
for
somthing
,
because
God
made
nothing
in
vain
;
Will
you
give
me
leave
to
weigh
things
in
the
Ballance
of
Reason
;
Then
thus
,
The
Seeds
of
the
common
Wormwood
are
far
more
prevalent
than
the
Seed
of
this
,
to
expell
Worms
in
Children
,
or
People
of
ripe
age
:
Of
both
,
some
are
weak
,
some
are
strong
.
The
Seriphian
Wormseed
is
the
weakest
,
&
happily
may
prove
to
be
fittest
for
weakest
Bodies
(
for
it
is
weak
enough
in
all
conscience
)
Let
such
as
are
strong
take
the
common
Wormseed
,
for
the
other
will
do
but
little
good
.
Again
,
neer
the
Sea
many
people
live
,
and
Seriphium
grows
neer
them
,
and
therfore
is
more
fitting
for
their
Bodies
because
nourished
by
the
same
Air
;
and
this
I
had
from
Dr
.
Reason
.
In
whose
Body
Dr
.
Reason
dwels
not
,
dwels
Dr
.
Madness
,
and
he
brings
in
his
Brethren
,
Dr
.
Ignorance
,
Dr
.
Folly
,
and
Dr
.
Sickness
,
and
these
together
make
way
for
Dr
.
Death
,
and
the
latter
end
of
that
man
is
worse
than
the
beginning
.
Pride
was
the
cause
of
Adam's
Fall
,
Pride
begate
a
Daughter
,
I
do
not
know
the
Father
of
it
unless
the
Divil
,
but
she
christned
it
,
and
call'd
it
Appetite
,
and
sent
her
Daughter
to
tast
these
Wormwoods
,
who
finding
this
the
least
bitter
,
made
the
sqeamish
Wench
extol
it
to
the
Skies
,
though
the
Vertues
of
it
never
reached
to
the
middle
Region
of
the
Air
.
Its
due
praise
is
this
;
It
is
weakest
,
therefore
fitter
for
weak
Bodies
,
and
fitter
for
those
Bodies
that
dwel
neer
it
than
those
that
live
far
from
it
:
my
reason
,
is
The
Sea
(
as
those
that
live
far
from
it
know
when
they
comt
neer
it
)
casteth
not
such
a
smel
as
the
Land
doth
:
The
tender
Mercies
of
God
being
over
all
his
Works
,
hath
by
his
eternal
Providence
planted
Seriphium
by
the
Sea
side
,
as
a
fit
Medicine
for
the
Bodies
of
those
that
live
neer
it
.
Lastly
,
It
is
known
to
all
that
know
any
thing
in
the
Course
of
Nature
,
That
the
Liver
delights
in
sweet
things
;
if
so
,
it
abhors
bitter
,
then
if
your
Liver
be
weak
,
it
is
none
of
the
wisest
courses
to
plague
it
with
an
Enemy
:
if
the
Liver
be
weak
a
Consumption
follows
;
Would
you
know
the
Reason
?
'tis
this
,
A
mans
Flesh
is
repaired
by
Blood
,
by
a
third
concoction
which
transmutes
Blood
into
Flesh
(
'tis
well
I
said
«
Conction
»
for
if
I
had
said
«
Boyling
»
every
Cook
would
have
understood
me
.
)
The
Liver
makes
Blood
,
and
if
it
be
weakned
that
it
makes
not
enough
the
Flesh
wasteth
,
and
why
must
Flesh
alwaies
be
renewed
?
Because
the
eternal
God
when
he
made
the
Creation
,
made
one
part
of
it
in
continual
dependency
upon
another
:
And
why
did
he
so
?
Because
Himself
is
only
Permanent
,
to
reach
us
,
That
we
should
not
fix
our
affections
upon
what
is
transitory
,
but
upon
what
endures
for
ever
.
The
result
of
all
is
this
,
If
the
Liver
be
weak
and
cannot
make
Blood
enonough
(
I
would
have
said
«
Sanguifie
»
if
I
had
written
only
to
Schollers
)
The
Seriphian
which
is
the
weakest
of
Wormwoods
is
better
than
the
best
.
I
have
been
Critical
enonough
(
if
not
too
much

Place
.
It
grows
familiarly
in
England
by
the
Sea
side
.
Description
.
It
starts
up
out
of
the
earth
with
many
round
woody
hoary
Stalks
from
one
Root
,
its
height
is
four
foot
high
,
or
three

The

in

,
in
Similitude
like
Southernwood
,
only
broader
and
longer
,
in

rather
salt

because
it
grows
so
neer
the
Salt
Water
:
At
the
joynts
with
the
Leaves
toward
the
tops
it
bears
little
yellow
Flowers
.
The
Root
lies
deep
and
is

Common
Wormwood

shall
not
describe
,
for
every
Boy
that
can
eat

Eg

it
.
Romane
Wormwood
;
And
why
Romane
,
seeing
it
grows
familiarly
in
England
?
It
may
be
it
was
so
called
because
'tis
special
good
for
a
stinking
Breath
,
which
the
Romans
cannot
be
very
free
from
maintaining
so
many
Baudy
Houses
by
Authority
of
his
Holiness
.
Description
.
The
Stalks
are
slenderer
and
shorter
than
the
common
Wormwood
by
one
foot
at
least
;
the
Leaves
are
more
finely
cut
and
devided
than
they
are
but
somthing
smaller
;
both
Leaves
and
Stalks
are
hoary
;
the
Flowers
of
a
pale
yellow
colour
,
it
is
altogether
like
the
common
Wormwood
,
save
only
in
bigness
,
for
'tis
smaller
;
in

,
for
'tis
not
so
bitter
,
in

Vertues
and
Use
.
Will
you
give
me
leave
to
be
Critical
a
little
?
I
must
take
leave
;
Wormwood
is
an
Herb
of
Mars
,
and
if
Pontanus
say
otherwise
he
is
beside
the
Bridg
.
I
prove
it
thus
:
What
delights
in
Martial
places
is
a
Martial
Herb
,
But
Wormwood
delights
in
Martial
places
,
(
for
about
Forges
and
Iron
Works
you
may
gather
a
Cart
load
of
it
)
Ergo
it
is
a
Martial
Herb
.
It
is
hot
and
dry
in
the
first
degree
,
Viz
.
Just
as
hot
as
your
Blood
and
not
hotter
:
It
remedies
the
evils
Choller
can
inflict
on
the
Body
of
man
by
Sympathy
.
It
helps
the
evils
Venus
and
her
wanton
Girls
produce
,
by
Antipathy
;
and
it
doth
somthing
else
besides
;
It
clenseth
the
Body
of
Choller
(
and
who
dares
say
Mars
doth
no
good
?
)
It
provokes
Urine
,
helps
Surfets
,
Swellings
in
the
Belly
;
it
causeth
an
Appetite
to
meat
,
because
Mars
rules
the
Attractive
faculty
in
Man
:
The
Sun
never
shone
upon
a
better
Herb
for
the
yellow
Jaundice
than
this
is
:
Why
should
men
cry
out
so
much
upon
Mars
for
an
Infortune
(
or
Saturn
either
?
)
Did
God
make
Creatures
to
do
the
Creation
a
mischief
?
This
Herb
testifies
that
Mars
is
willing
to
cure
all
the
Diseases
he
causes
;
the
truth
is
,
Mars
loves
no
Cowards
,
nor
Saturn
Fools
,
nor
I
,
either
.
Take
the
Flowers
of
Wormwood
,
Rosemary
,
and
black
Thorn
,
of
each
a
like
quantity
,
half
that
quantity
of
Saffron
,
boyl
this
in
Renish
Wine
,
but
put
not
in
the
Saffron
till
it
is
almost
boyled
;
This
is
the
way
to
keep
a
Mans
Body
in
health
,
appointed
by
Camerarius
in
his
Book
intituled
,
Hortus
Medicus
,
and
'tis
a
good
one
too
.
Besides
all
this
,
Wormwood
provokes
the
Terms
.
I
would
willingly
teach
Astrologers
,
and
make
them
Physitians
(
if
I
knew
how
)
for
they
are
most
fitting
for
the
Calling
,
if
you
will
not
beleeve
me
,
ask
Dr
.
Hippocrates
,
and
Dr
.
Galen
,
a
couple
of
Gentlemen
that
our
Colledg
of
Physitians
keep
to
vapor
with
,
not
to
follow
.
In
this
one
Herb
I
shall
give
the
Pattern
of
a
Rule
to
the
Sons
of
Art
,
rough
cast
,
yet
as
neer
the
Truth
as
the
men
of
Benjamin
could
throw
a
stone
;
whereby
my
Brethern
of
the
Society
of
Astrologers
may
know
by
a
penny
how
a
shilling
is
coyned
:
(
as
for
the
Colledg
of
Physitians
they
are
too
stately
to
learn
,
and
too
proud
to
continue
,
They
say
a
Mouse
is
under
the
Dominion
of
the
Moon
,
and
that's
the
reason
they
feed
in
the
night
:
The
House
of
the
Moon
is
Cancer
:
(
Rats
are
of
the
same
nature
with
Mice
but
that
they
are
a
little
bigger
.
)
Mars
receives
his
fall
in
Cancer
,
Ergo
Wormwood
being
an
Herb
of
Mars
is
a
present
Remedy
for
the
biting
of
Rats
and
Mice
.
Mushroms
(
I
cannot
give
them
the
title
of
Herba
,
Frutex
,
or
Arbor
)
are
under
the
Dominion
of
Saturn
(
and
take
them
one
time
with
another
they
do
as
much
harm
as
good
:
)
if
any
have
poyson'd
himself
by
eating
them
,
Wormwood
an
Herb
of
Mars
cures
him
,
because
Mars
is
exalted
in
Capricorn
the
Hous
of
Saturn
,
&
this
it
doth
by
Sympathy
as
it
did
the
other
by
Antipathy
.
Wheals
,
Pushes
,
black
&
blew
Spots
coming
eitheir
by
bruises
or
beatings
,
Wormwood
an
Herb
of
Mars
helps
becaus
Mars
(
as
bad
as
you
love
him
,
&
as
ill
as
you
hate
him
)
will
not
break
your
Head
,
but
he'l
give
you
a
Plaister
.
If
he
do
but
teach
you
to
know
your
selves
,
his
Courtesie
is
greater
than
his
Discourtesie
:
The
greatest
Antipathy
between
the
Planets
is
between
Mars
and
Venus
,
one
is
hot
,
the
other
cold
,
one
Diurnal
,
the
other
Nocturnal
;
one
dry
,
the
other
moist
,
their
Houses
are
opposite
,
one
Masculine
the
other
Feminine
,
one
publick
the
other
private
,
one
is
valiant
,
the
other
effeminate
,
one
loves
the
light
,
the
other
hates
it
,
one
loves
the
Field
,
the
other
the
Sheets
;
then
the
Throat
is
under
Venus
,
the
Quinsie
lies
in
the
Throat
and
is
an
Inflamation
there
:
Venus
rules
the
Throat
(
it
being
under
Taurus
her
Sign
)
Mars
eradicates
all
Diseases
in
the
Throat
by
his
Herbs
(
of
which
Wormwood
is
one
)
and
send
them
to
Aegypt
on
an
errand
never
to
return
more
;
this
by
Antipathy
.
The
Eyes
are
under
the
Luminaties
,
the
right
Eye
of
a
Man
,
and
the
left
Eye
of
a
Woman
,
the
Sun
claims
Dominion
over
:
The
left
Eye
of
a
Man
,
and
the
right
Eye
of
a
Woman
,
are
the
priviledg
of
the
Moon
,
Wormwood
an
Herb
of
Mars
cures
both
;
What
belongs
to
the
Sun
by
Sympathy
becaus
he
is
exalted
in
his
House
;
but
what
belongs
to
the
Moon
by
Antipathy
,
because
he
hath
his
Fall
in
hers
.
Suppose
a
man
be
bitten
or
stung
by
a
martial
Creature
,
imagine
a
Wasp
,
a
Hornet
or
Scorpion
,
Wormwood
an
Herb
of
Mars
gives
you
a
present
cure
:
Then
Mars
as
Chollerick
as
he
is
,
hath
learned
that
Patience
,
to
pass
by
your
evil
speeches
of
him
,
and
tells
you
by
my
Pen
,
That
he
gives
you
no
Affliction
but
he
gives
you
a
Cure
;
You
need
not
run
to
Apollo
nor
Aesculapius
;
and
if
he
were
so
Chollerick
as
you
make
him
to
be
,
he
would
have
drawn
his
Sword
for
Anger
to
see
the
ill
conditions
of
those
people
that
can
spy
his
Vices
and
not
his
Vertues
.
The
enternal
God
when
he
made
Mars
,
made
him
for
a
publick
good
,
and
the
Sons
of
Men
shall
know
it
in
the
latter
end
of
the
world
.
Et
caelum
Mars

You
say
Mars
is
a
Destroyer
,
mix
a
little
Wormwood
an
Herb
of
Mars
with
your
Ink
,
and
neither
Rats
nor
Mice
will
touch
the
Paper
is
written
with
it
,
and
then
Mars
is
a
Preserver
.
Astrologers
say
Mars
causeth
Scabs
and
Itch
,
and
the
Virgins
are
angry
with
him
,
because
wanton
Venus
told
them
he
deforms
their
Skin
:
But
quoth
Mars
,
my
only
desire
is
they
should
know
themselves
;
my
Herb
Wormwood
will
restore
them
to
the
beauty
they
formerly
had
,
and
in
that
I
will
not
come
an
inch
behind
my
opposite
Venus
;
for
which
doth
the
greatest
evil
,
he
that
takes
away
an
innate
beauty
,
and
when
he
hath
done
knows
how
to
restore
it
again
;
or
she
that
reaches
a
company
of
wanton
Lasses
to
paint
their
Faces
?
If
Mars
be
in
the
Virgin
in
a
Nativity
,
they
say
he
usually
causeth
the
Chollick
(
'tis
well
God
hath
set
some
body
to
pul
down
the
Pride
of
Man
)
He
in
the
Virgin
troubles
none
wth
the
Chollick
but
them
that
know
not
themselves
(
for
who
knows
himself
may
easily
know
all
the
world
:
)
Wormwood
an
Herb
of
Mars
is
a
present
cure
for
it
:
and
whether
it
be
most
like
a
Christian
to
love
him
for
his
good
,
or
hate
him
for
his
evil
,
judg
ye
.
I
had
almost
forgotten
that
Charity
thinks
no
evil
,
I
was
once
in
the
Tower
and
viewed
the
Wardrobe
,
and
there
was
a
great
many
fine
Cloathes
(
I
can
give
them
no
other
title
,
for
I
was
never
neither
Linnen
or
Woollen
Draper
)
yet
as
brave
as
they
looked
,
my
opinion
was
,
the
Moaths
might
consume
them
(
yea
Henry
the
eighth
his
Codpiece
)
Moaths
are
under
the
Dominion
of
Mars
,
his
Herb
Wormwood
being
laid
amongst
Cloathes
will
make
a
Moath
scorn
to
meddle
with
the
Cloath
,
as
much
as
a
Lyon
scorns
to
meddle
with
a
Mouse
,
or
an
Eagle
a
Fly
.
You
say
Mars
is
angry
,
and
'tis
true
enough
,
he
is
angry
with
my
Country
-
men
for
being
such
Fools
to
be
led
by
the
Noses
by
a
Colledg
of
Physitians
,
as
they
lead
Bears
to
Paris
-
Garden
.
Melancholly
men
cannot
endure
to
be
wrong'd
in
point
of
good
name
,
and
that
hath
sorely
troubled
old
Saturn
,
because
they
called
him
the
greatest
Infortune
:
In
the
Body
of
Man
he
rules
the
Spleen
(
and
that
makes
Covetous
men
so
Splenetick
.
)
The
poor
old
man
lies
crying
out
of
his
left
side
,
Father
Saturn's
angry
,
Mars
comes
to
him
,
come
Brother
,
I
confess
thou
art
evil
spoken
of
,
and
so
am
I
,
thou
knowest
I
have
my
exaltation
in
thy
House
,
I'le
give
him
an
Herb
of
mine
,
Wormwood
,
to
cure
the
poor
man
;
Saturn
consented
,
but
spoke
but
little
,
and
so
Mars
cured
him
by
Sympathy
.
When
Mars
was
free
from
War
(
for
he
loves
to
be
fighting
,
and
is
the
best
friend
a
Soldier
hath
)
I
say
when
Mars
was
free
from
War
he
called
a
Councel
of
War
in
his
own
Brain
to
know
how
he
should
do
poor
sinful
man
good
,
(
desiring
to
forget
his
abuses
in
being
called
an
Infortune
)
He
musters
up
his
own
Forces
and
places
them
in
Battalia
,
Oh
,
quoth
he
,
why
do
I
hurt
a
poor
silly
Man
or
Woman
?
His
Angel
Answers
him
,
Tis
because
they
have
offended
their
God
(
Look
back
to
Adam
)
Well
,
saies
Mars
,
though
they
speak
evil
of
me
,
I'le
do
good
to
them
;
Death's
cold
,
my
Herbs
shall
heat
them
,
They
are
full
of
ill
Humors
(
else
they
would
never
have
spoken
ill
of
me
)
my
Herb
shall
clense
them
and
dry
them
:
They
are
poor
weak
Creatures
,
my
Herb
shall
strengthen
them
;
they
are
dul
witted
,
my
Herb
shall
fortifie
their
Apprehensions
;
and
yet
amongst
Astrologers
,
all
this
doth
not
deserve
a
good
word
;
Oh
,

Patience
of
Mars

O
happy
he
that
can
the
Knowledg
gain
,
To
know
th'
eternal
God
made
nought
in
vain

To
this
I
add
,
I
know
the
reason
causeth
such
a
Dearth
Of
Knowledg
,
'tis
,
becaus
men
love
the
Earth
.
The
other
day
Mars
told
me
he
met
with
Venus
,
and
he
asked
her
what
the
Reason
was
that
she
accused
him
for
abusing
Women
,
he
never
gave
them
the
Pox
,
in
the
Dispute
they
fell
out
,
and
in
anger
parted
,
and
Mars
told
me
that
his
brother
Saturn
told
him
,
that
an
Antivenerial
Medicine
was
the
best
against
the
Pox
.
Once
a
Month
he
meets
with
the
Moon
,
Mars
is
quick
enough
of
speech
,
and
the
Moon
not
much
behind
hand
(
neither
are
most
Women
)
The
Moon
looks
much
after
Children
,
and
Children
are
much
troubled
with
the
Worms
,
she
desired
a
Medicine
of
him
,
he
bad
her
take
his
own
Herb
Wormwood
:
He
had
no
sooner
parted
with
the
Moon
but
he
met
with
Venus
,
and
she
was
as
drunk
as
a
Bitch
,
Alas
poor
Venus
quoth
he
,
What
,
thou
a
Fortune
and
be
drunk
?
I'le
give
thee
an
Antipathetical
Cure
,
take
my
Herb
Wormwood
,
thou
shalt
never
get
a
Surfet
by
drinking
.
A
poor
silly
Countryman
hath
got
an
Ague
and
cannot
go
about
his
business
,
he
wishes
he
had
it
not
,
and
so
do
I
,
but
I'le
tell
him
a
Remedy
whereby
he
may
prevent
it
.
Take
the
Herb
of
Mars
Wormwood
,
and
if
Infortunes
will
do
good
what
will
Fortunes
do
?
Some
say
the
Lungs
are
under
Jupiter
,
and
if
the
Lungs
,
then
the
breath
,
and
yet
a
man
somtimes
gets
a
stinking
breath
,
and
yet
Jupiter
is
a
Fortune
forsooth
;
up
comes
Mars
to
him
,
Come
Brother
Jupiter
,
thou
knowest
I
sent
thee
a
couple
of
Trines
to
thy
Houses
last
night
,
the
one
from
Aries
,
and
other
from
Scorpio
,
give
me
thy
leave
by
Sympathy
to
cure
the
poor
man
by
drinking
a
draught
of
Wormwood
Beer
every
morning
.
The
Moon
was
weak
the
other
day
,
and
she
gave
a
man
to
terrible
mischiefs
,
a
dull
Brain
,
and
a
weak
sight
,
Mars
laies
by
his
Sword
and
comes
to
her
,
Sister
Moon
saith
he
This
man
hath
anger'd
thee
,
but
I
beseech
thee
take
notice
he
is
but
a
Fool
,
prithee
be
patient
,
I
will
with
my
Herb
Wormwood
cure
him
of
both
Infirmities
by
Antipathy
,
for
thou
knowest
,
thou
and
I
cannot
agree
;
with
that
the
Moon
began
to
quarrel
;
Mars
(
not
delighting
much
in
Womens
Tongues
)
went
away
,
and
did
it
whether
she
would
or
no
.
He
that
reades
this
and
understands
what
he
reades
,
he
hath
a
Jewel
more
worth
then
a
Diamond
:
He
that
understands
it
not
,
is
as
little
fit
to
give
Physick
.
There
lies
a
Key
in
these
words
,
which
will
unlock
(
if
it
be
turned
by
a
wise
hand
)
the
Cabbinet
of
Physick
:
I
have
delivered
it
so
plainly
as
I
durst
;
'tis
not
upon
Wormwood
only
that
I
wrote
,
but
upon
all
Plants
,
Trees
,
and
Herbs
:
He
that
understands
it
not
,
is
unfit
(
in
my
Opinion
)
to
give
Physick
.
This
shall
live
when
I
am
dead
;
and
thus
I
leave
it
to
the
World
,
not
caring
a
Halfpenny
whether
they
like
or
dislike
it
.
The
Grave
equals
all
men
,
and
therefore
shall
equal
me
with
the
Princes
,
until
which
time
the
Eternal
Providence
is
over
me
;
then
the
ill
tongue
of
a
pratling
Priest
,
or
of
one
who
hath
more
Tongue
than
Wit
,
or
more
Pride
than
Honesty
,
shall
never
trouble
me
.
Wisdom
is
justified
of
her
Children
;
and
so
much
for
Wormwood
.
YARROW
.
Description
.
It
hath
many
long
Leaves
spread
upon
the
ground
and
fine
cut
,
and
devided
into
many
smal
parts
,
Its
Flowers
are
white
but
not
all
of
a
whiteness
,
and
staied
in
Knots
,
upon
diverse
green
Stalks
which
rise
from
amongst
the
Leaves
.
Place
.
It
is
very
frequent
in
all
Pastures
.
Time
.
It
Flowers
late
even
in
the
latter
end
of
August
.
Vertues
and
Use
.
An
Oyntment
of
them
cures
Wounds
and
is
most
fit
for
such
as
have
Inflamations
,
it
being
an
Herb
of
Dame
Venus
;
It
stops
the
Terms
in
Women
being
boyled
in
white
Wine
and
the
Decoction
drunk
,
as
also
the
Bloody
Flux
;
the
Oyntment
of
it
is
not
only
good
for
green
Wounds
,
but
also
for
Ulcers
and
Fistulaes
,
especially
such
as
abound
with
moisture
;
It
staies
the
shedding
off
of
Hair
,
the
Head
being
bathed
with
the
Decoction
of
it
;
inwardly
taken
,
it
helps
the
retentive
faculty
of
the
Stomach
,
it
helps
the
running
of
the
Reins
in
men
,
and
the
whites
in
women
,
and
helps
such
as
cannot
hold
their
water
;
and
the
Leaves
chewed
in
the
Mouth
ease
the
Toothach
;
and
these
Vertues
being
put
together
shew
the
Herb
to
be
drying
and
binding
.
Achilles
is
supposed
to
be
the
first
that
left
the
Vertues
of
this
Herb
to
posterity
,
having
learned
them
of
his
Master
Chyron
the
Centaure
,
and
certainly
a
very
profitable
Herb
it
is
in
the
Camp
,
and
perhaps
therfore
called
Militaris
.
DIRECTIONS

Having
in
diverse
places

this
Treatise
promised
you
the

Syrups

,
Oyls

,
&c

of
Herbs
,
Roots
,

wherby
you
may
have
them
ready
for
your
use
at
such
times
when
otherwise
they
cannot
be
had
;
I
come
now
to
perform
what
I
promised
,
and
you
shall
find
me
rather
better
than
worse
than
my
word
.
That
this
may
be
done
Methodically
,
I
shall
devide
my
Directions
into
two
grand
Sections
,

each
Section
into
several
Chapters

.
Note
in
what
place
they
most
delight
to
grow
in
,
and
gather
them
there
,
for
Bettony
that
grows
in
the
shadow
is
far
better
than
that
which
grows
in
the
Sun
,
because
it
delights
in
the
shadow
;
so
also
such
Herbs
as
delight
to
grow
neer
the
Water
,
though
happily
you
may
find
some
of
them
upon
dry
ground
,
the
Treatise
will
inform
you
where
every
Herb
delights
to
grow
.

.
The
Leaves
of
such
Herbs
as
run
up
to
Seed
,
are
not
so
good
when
they
are
in
flower
as
before
(
some
few
excepted
,
the
Leaves
of
which
are
seldom
or
never
used
)
in
such
cases
,
if
through
ignorance
they
were
not
known
,
or
through
negligence
forgotten
,
you
had
better
take
the
top
and
the
Flower
than
the
Leaf
.
4
.
Dry
them
well
in
the
Sun
,
and
not
in
the
shadow
as
the
swinge
of
Physitians
is
,
for
if
the
Sun
draw
away
the
Vertues
of
Herbs
,
it
must
needs
do
the
like
by
Hay
by
the
same
Rule
,
which
the
experience
of
every
Country
Farmer
will
explode
for
a
notable
piece
of
non
-
sense
.
5
.
Such
as
are
Artists
in
Astrology
(
and
indeed
none
else
are
fit
to
make
Physitians
)
such
I
advise
,
let
the
Planet
that
governs
the
Herb
be
Angular
,
and
the
stronger
the
better
,
if
they
can
in
Herbs
of
Saturn
,
let
Saturn
be
in
the
Ascendent
,
in
the
Herbs
of
Mars
,
let
Mars
be
in
the
Mid
-
heaven
,
for
in
those
Houses
they
delight
,
let
the
Moon
apply
to
them
by
good
Aspect
,
and
let
her
not
be
in
the
Houses
of
their
Enemies
:
If
you
cannot
well
stay
till
she
apply
to
them
,
let
her
apply
to
a
Planet
of
the
same
Triplicity
,
if
you
cannot
wait
that
time
neither
,
let
her
be
with
a
fixed
Star
of
their
Nature
.

.
Having
well
dryed
them
put
them
up
in
brown
Papers
,
sewing
the
Paper
up
like
a
Sack
,
and
press
them
not
too
hard
together
,
and
keep
them
in
a
dry
place
neer
the
fire
.
7
.
As
for
the
duration
of
dryed
Herbs
,
a
just
time
cannot
be
given
,
let
Authors
prate
their
pleasures
:
For
,
First
,
Such
as
grow
upon
dry
grounds
will
keep
better
than
such
as
grow
on
moist
.
Secondly
,
Such
Herbs
as
are
full
of
Juyce
will
not
keep
so
long
as
such
as
are
dryer
.
Thirdly
,
Such
Herbs
as
are
well
dryed
will
keep
longer
than
such
as
are
ill
dried
.
Yet
this
I
say
,
by
this
you
may
know
when
they
are
corrupted
,
viz
.
By
their
loss
of
colour
,
or
smell
,
or
both
,
and
if
they
be
corrupted
,
reason
will
tell
you
that
they
must
needs
corrupt

The
Flower
which
is
the
beauty
of
the
Plant
,
and
of
none
of
the
least
use
in
Physick
,
groweth
yeerly
,
and
is
to
be
gathered
when
it
is
in
its
prime
.

.
As
for
the
time
of
gathering
them
,
let
the
Planetary
hour
,
and
the
Planet
that
rules
the
Plant
they
come
of
,
be
observed
,
as
we
shewed
you
in
the
foregoing
Chapter
;
as
for
the
time
of
the
day
let
it
be
when
the
Sun
shines
upon
them
that
so
they
may
be
dry
,
for
if
you
gather
either
Herbs
or
Flowers
when
they
are
wet
or
dewy
,
they
will
not
keep
,
and
this
I
forgot
before
.
3
.
Dry
them
well
in
the
Sun
,
and
keep
them
in
Papers
neer
the
fire
,
as
I
shewed
you
in
the
foregoing
Chapter
.

.
So
long
as
they
retain
their
colour
and
smel
they
are
good
,
either
of
them
being
gone
so
is
the
Vertue
also

Of
Seeds

The
Seed
is
that
part
of
the
Plant
which
is
endewed
with
a
vitall
faculty
to
bring
forth
its
like
,
and
it
contains
potentially
the
whol
Plant
in
it
.
2
.
As
for
place
let
them
be
gathered
from
the
plants
where
they
delight
to
grow
.
3
.
Let
them
be
full
ripe
when
they
are
gathered
,
and
forget
not
the
Coelestial
Harmony
before
mentioned
,
for
I
have
found
by
experience
that
their
Vertues
are
twice
as
great
at
such
times
than
at
others
:
There
is
an
appointed
time
for
every
thing
under
the
Sun
.
4
.
When
you
have
gathered
them
dry
them
a
little
,
and
but
a
little
in
the
Sun
before
you
lay
them
up
.
5
.
You
need
not
be
so
careful
of
keeping
them
so
neer
the
fire
as
the
other
before
mentioned
,
because
they
are
fuller
of
Spirit
,
and
therefore
not
so
subject
to
corrupt
.
6
.
As
for
the
time
of
their
duration
'tis
palpable
they
will
keep
good
many
yeers
,
yet
this
I
say
,
they
are
best
the
first
yeer
,
and
this
I
make
appear
by
a
good
argument
,
They
will
grow
soonest
the
firt
yeer
they
be
set
,
therefore
then
are
they
in
their
prime
,
and
'tis
an
easie
matter
to
renew
them
yeerly
.

Give
me
leave
to
be
a
little
critical
against
the
Vulgar
received
Opinion
,
which
is
,
That
the
Sap
falls
down
into
the
Root
in
Autumn
,
and
rises
again
in
Spring
,
as
men
go
to
Bed
at
night
and
rise
in
the
morning
;
and
this
idle
tale
of
untruth
is
so
grounded
in
the
Heads
not
only
of
the
Vulgar
but
also
of
the
Learned
,
that
a
man
cannot
drive
it
out
by
Reason
:
I
pray
let
such
Sap
-
mongers
answer
me
to
this
Argument
,
If
the
Sap
fall
into
the
Root
in
the
fall
of
the
Leaf
,
and
lie
there
all
the
Winter
,
then
must
the
Root
grow
only
in
the
Winter
,
as
experience
witnesseth
,
but
the
Root
grows
not
at
all
in
the
Winter
,
as
the
same
experience
teacheth
,
but
only
in
the
Summer
.
Ergo
,
If
you
set
an
Apple
Kernel
in
the
Spring
,
you
shall
find
the
Root
to
grow
to
a
pretty
bigness
in
that
Summer
,
and
be
not
a
whit
bigger
next
Spring
:
What
doth
the
Sap
do
in
the
Root
all
that
while
?
pick
straws
?
For
God's
sake
build
not
your
faith
upon
Tradition
,
'tis
as
rotten
as
a
rotten
Post
.
The
truth
is
,
when
the
Sun
declines
from
the
Tropick
of
Cancer
,
the
Sap
begins
to
congeal
both
in
Root
and
Branch
,
when
he
toucheth
the
Tropick
of
Capricorn
and
ascends
to
us
ward
,
it
begins
to
wax
thin
again
,
and
by
degrees
as
it
congealed
:
But
to
proceed

The
dryer
time
you
gather
your
Roots
in
the
better
they
are
,
for
they
have
the
less
excrementitious
moisture
in
them
.
4
.
Such
Roots
as
are
soft
,
your
best
way
is
to
dry
in
the
Sun
,
or
else
hang
them
up
in
the
Chimney
corner
upon
a
string
;
as
for
such
as
are
hard
you
may
dry
them
any
where
.
5
.
Such
Roots
as
are
great
will
keep
longer
than
such
as
are
small
,
yet
most
of
them
will
keep
a
yeer
.
6
.
Such
Roots
as
are
soft
it
is
your
best
way
to
keep
them
alwaies
neer
the
fire
,
and
take
this
general
Rule
,
If
in
Winter
time
you
find
any
of
your
Roots
,
Herbs
or
Flowers
begin
to
grow
moist
,
as
many
times
you
shall
,
especially
in
the
Winter
time
(
for
'tis
your
best
way
to
look
to
them
once
a
month
)
dry
them
by
a
very
gentle
fire
,
or
if
you
can
with
convenience
keep
them
neer
the
fire
,
you
may
save
your
self
the
labor
.
7
.
It
is
in
vain
to
dry
such
Roots
as
may
commonly
be
had
,
as
Parsly
,
Fennel
,
Plantane
&c

but
gather
them
only
for

need

Of
Distilled
Waters
.
Hitherto
we
have
spoken
of
Medicines
which
consist
in
their
own
Nature
,
which
Authors
vulgarly
call
Simples
,
though
somthing
improperly
,
for
indeed
and
in
truth
,
nothing
is
Simple
but
the
pure
Elements
;
all
things
else
are
compounded
of
them
:
We
come
now
to
treat
of
the
Artificial
Medicines
,
in
the
front
of
which
(
because
we
must
begin
somewhere
)
we
place
distilled
Waters
;
In
which
consider
,
1
.
Waters
are
distilled
out
of
Herbs
,
Flowers
,
Fruits
,
and
Roots
.
2
.
We
treat
not
here
of
strong
Waters
but
of
cold
,
as
being
to
act
Galen's
Part
and
not
Paracelsus
.
3
.
The
Herbs
ought
to
be
distilled
when
they
are
in
their
greatest
vigor
,
and
so
ought
the
Flowers
also
.
4
.
The
vulgar
way
of
Distillation
which
people
use
,
because
they
know
no
better
,
is
in
a
Peuter
Still
,
and
although
Distilled
Waters
are
the
weakest
of
all
Artificial
Medicines
,
and
good
for
little
unless
for
mixtures
of
other
Medicines
,
yet
this
way
distilled
they
are
weaker
by
many
degrees
than
they
would
be
,
were
they
distilled
in
Sand
:
If
I
thought
it
not
impossible
to
teach
you
the
way
of
distilling
in
Sand
by
writing
,
I
would
attempt
it
.
5
.
When
you
have
distilled
your
Water
put
it
into
a
Glass
,
and
having
bound
the
top
of
it
over
with
a
Paper
pricked
full
of
holes
,
that
so
the
excrementitious
and
fiery
vapors
may
exhale
(
which
indeed
are
they
that
cause
that
setling
in
distilled
Waters
called
the
Mother
,
which
corrupts
the
Waters
and
might
this
way
be
prevented
)
cover
it
close
and
keep
it
for
your
use
.
6
.
Stopping
distilled
Waters
with
a
Cork
makes
them
musty
,
and
so
will
a
Paper
also
if
it
do
but
touch
the
Water
,
your
best
way
then
is
to
stop
them
with
a
Bladder
,
being
first
wet
in
Water
,
and
bound
over
the
top
of
the
Glass
.
Such
cold
Waters
as
are
distilled
in
a
Peuter
Still
(
if
well
kept
)
will
endure
a
yeer
,
such
as
are
distilled
in
Sand
,
as
they
are
twice
as
strong
,
so
will
they
endure
twice
as
long

You
see
at
the
first
view
then
that
this
Aphorism
devides
it
self
into
three
Branches
,
which
deserve
severally
to
be
treated
of
,

Syrups
made

Infusion
.
2
.
Syrups
made

Decoction
.
3

Syrups
made

Juyce
.
Of
each
of
these
(
for
your
Instruction
sake
kind
Country
men
and
women
)
I
speak
a
word
,
or
two
or
three
apart
.
First
,
Syrups
made
by
Infusion
are
usually
made
of
Flowers
,
and
of
such
Flowers
,
as
soon
lose
both
colour
and
strength
by
boyling
,
as
Roses
,
Violets
,
Peach
-
Flowers
&c
.
my
Translation
of
the
London
Dispensatory
will
instruct
you
in
the
rest
:
They
are
thus
made
,
having
picked
your
Flowers
clean
,
to
every
pound
of
them
ad
three
pound
(
or
three
pints
,
which
you
will
for
it
is
all
one
)
of
Spring
Water
made
boyling
hot
by
the
fire
,
first
put
your
Flowers
in
a
Peuter
Pot
with
a
cover
,
then
powr
the
Water
to
them
,
then
shutting
the
Pot
,
let
it
stand
by
the
fire
to
keep
hot
twelve
hours
,
then
strain
it
out
(
in
such
Syrups
as
purge
,
as
Damask
Roses
,
Peach
-
Flowers
,
&c
.
the
usual
and
indeed
the
best
way
is
to
repeat
this
Infusion
,
adding
fresh
Flowers
to
the
same
Liquor
diverse
times
that
so
it
may
be
the
stronger
)
having
strained
it
out
,
put
the
Infusion
into
a
Peuter
Bason
,
or
an
Earthen
one
well
glassed
,
and
to
every
pint
of
it
,
ad
two
pound
of
fine
Sugar
,
which
being
only
melted
over
the
fire
without
boyling
,
and
scummed
,
will
produce
you
the
Syrup
you
desire
.
Secondly
,
Syrups
made
by
Decoction
are
usually
used
of
Compounds
yet
may
any
Simple
Herb
be
thus
converted
into
Syrup
;
Take
the
Herb
,
Root
,
or
Flower
you
would
make
into
Syrup
and
bruise
it
a
little
,
then
boyl
it
in
a
convenient
quantity
of
Spring
Water
,
the
more
water
you
boyl
it
in
the
weaker
will
it
be
,
a
handful
of
the
Herb
,
Root
,
&c
.
is
a
convenient
quantity
for
a
pint
of
Water
;
boyl
it
till
half
the
water
be
consumed
,
then
let
it
stand
till
it
be
almost
cold
,
and
strain
it
(
being
almost
cold
)
through
a
woollen
cloth
,
letting
it
run
out
at
leisure
without
pressing
,
to
every
pint
of
this
Decoction
ad
one
pound
of
Sugar
and
boyl
it
over
the
fire
till
it
come
to
a
Syrup
,
which
you
may
know
if
you
now
and
then
cool
a
little
of
it
in
a
spoon
,
scum
it
all
the
while
it
boyls
,
and
when
it
is
sufficiently
boyled
,
whilst
it
is
hot
strain
it
again
through
a
woollen
cloth
,
but
press
it
not
;
thus
have
you
the
Syrup
perfected
.
Thirdly
,
Syrups
made
of
Juyces
are
usually
made
of
such
Herbs
as
are
full
of
Juyce
,
and
indeed
they
are
better
made
into
a
Syrup
this
way
than
any
other
;
the
Operation
is
thus
,
having
beaten
the
Herb
in
a
stone
Mortar
with
a
wooden
Pestle
,
press
out
the
Juyce
and
clarifie
it
as
you
were
taught
before
in
the
Juyces
,
then
let
the
Juyce
boyl
away
till
a
quarter
of
it
(
or
neer
upon
)
be
consumed
,
to
a
pint
of
this
ad
a
pound
of
Sugar
,
and
boyl
it
to
a
Syrup
,
alwaies
scumming
it
,
and
when
it
is
boyled
enough
,
strain
it
through
a
woollen
cloth
as
we
taught
you
before
,
and
keep
it
for
your
use
.
3
.
If
you
make
Syrups
of
Roots
that
are
any
thing
hard
,
as
Parsley
,
Fennel
,
and
grass
Roots
&c
.
when
you
have
bruised
them
,
lay
them
in
steep
some
time
in
that
Water
which
you
intend
to
boyl
them
in
,
hot
,
so
will
the
Vertue
the
better
come
out
.
4
.
Keep
your
Syrups
either
in
Glasses
or
stone
Pots
,
and
stop
them
not
with
Cork
,
nor
Bladder
,
unless
you
would
have
the
Glass
break
and
the
Syrup
lost
;
and
as
many
Opinions
as
there
are
in
this
Nation
,
I
suppose
there
are
but
few
or
none
of
this
,

Of
Juleps
.
1
.
Juleps
were
first
invented
as
I
suppose
in
Arabia
,
and
my
reason
is
because
the
word
Juleb
is
an
Arabick
word
.
2
.
It
signifies
only
a
pleasant
Potion
,
and
was
vulgarly
used
(
by
such
as
were
sick
and
wanted
help
,
or
such
as
were
in
health
,
and
wanted
no
money
)
to
quench
thirst
.
3
.
Now
a
daies
'tis
commonly
used
,
1
.
To
prepare
the
Body
for
Purgation
.
2
.
To
open
Obstructions
and
the
Pores
.
3
.
To
digest
tough
Humors
.
4
.
To
qualifie
hot
distempers
&c
.
4
.
It
is
thus
made
(
I
mean
Simple
Juleps
for
I
have
nothing
to
say
to
Compounds
here
;
all
Compounds
have
as
many
several
Idea's
as
men
have
crotchets
in
their
Brain
)
I
say
Simple
Juleps
are
thus
made
:
Take
a
pint
of
such
distilled
Water
as
conduceth
to
the
cure
of
your
distemper
,
which
this
Treatise
will
plentifully
furnish
you
withal
,
to
which
add
two
ounces
of
Syrup
conducing
to
the
same
effect
(
I
shall
give
you
Rules
for
it
in
the
last
Chapter
)
mix
them
together
and
drink
a
draught
of
it
at
your
pleasure
;
If
you
love
tart
things
ad
ten
drops
of
Oyl
of
Vitriol
to
your
pint
and
shake
it
together
,
and
it
will
have
a
fine
grateful
tast
.
5
.
All
Juleps
are
made
for
present
use
,
and
therefore
it
is
in
vain
to
speak
of
their
duration
.

Of
Decoctions
.
1
.
All
the
difference
between
Decoctions
and
Syrups
made
by
Decoction
is
this
,
Syrups
are
made
to
keep
,
Decoctions
only
for
present
use
,
for
you
can
hardly
keep
a
Decoction
a
week
at
any
time
,
if
the
weather
be
hot
,
not
half
so
long
.
2
.
Decoctions
are
made
of
Leaves
,
Roots
,
Flowers
,
Seeds
,
Fruits
,
or
Barks
,
conducing
to
the
cure
of
the
Disease
you
make
them
for
;
in
the
same
manner
are
they
made
as
we
shewed
you
in
Syrups
.
3
.
Decoctions
made
with
Wine
last
longer
than
such
as
are
made
with
Water
,
and
if
you
take
your
Decoction
to
clense
the
passages
of
Urine
,
or
open
Obstructions
,
your
best
way
is
to
make
it
with
white
Wine
instead
of
Water
,
because
that
is
most
penetrating
.
4
.
Decoctions
are
of
most
use
in
such
Diseases
as
lie
in
the
Passages
of
the
Body
,
as
the
Stomach
,
Bowels
,
Kidneys
,
Passages
of
Urine
,
and
Bladder
,
because
Decoctions
pass
quicker
to
those
places
than
any
other
form
of
Medicines
.
5
.
If
you
will
sweeten
your
Decoction
with
Sugar
,
or
any
Syrup
fit
for
the
occasion
you
take
it
for
which
is
better
,
you
may
and
no
harm
done
.
6
.
If
in
a
Decoction
you
boyl
both
Roots
,
Herbs
,
Flowers
,
and
Seeds
together
,
let
the
Roots
boyl
a
good
while
first
,
because
they
retain
their
Vertue
longest
,
then
the
next
in
order
by
the
same
Rule
;
viz
.
1
.
the
Barks
,
2
.
the
Herbs
,
3
.
the
Seeds
,
4
.
the
Flowers
,
5
.
the
Spices
if
you
put
any
in
,
because
their
vertue
comes
soonest
out
.
7
.
Such
things
as
by
boyling
cause
sliminess
to
a
Decoction
,
as
Figs
,
Quince
Seeds
,
Linseed
&c
.
your
best
way
is
,
after
you
have
bruised
then
,
to
tie
them
up
in
a
linnen
rag
,
as
you
tie
up
a
Calves
Brains
,
and
so
boyl
them
.
8
.
Keep
all
Decoctions
in
a
Glass
close
stopped
,
and
in
the
cooler
place
you
keep
them
,
the
longer
will
they
last
ere
they
be
sowr
.
Lastly
,
The
usual
Dose
to
be
given
at
one
time
,
is
usually
two
,
three
,
four
,
or
five
ounces
,
according
to
the
age
and
strength
of
the
Patient
,
the
season
of
the
yeer
,
the
strength
of
the
Medicine
,
and
the
quality
of
the
Disease

Of
Oyles
.
1
.
Oyl
Olive
,
which
is
commonly
known
by
the
name
of
Sallet
Oyl
,
I
suppose
because
it
is
usually
eaten
with
Sallets
by
them
that
love
it
;
If
it
be
pressed
out
of
ripe
Olives
,
according
to
Galen
is
temperate
,
and
exceeds
in
no
one
quality
.
2
.
Of
Oyls
,
some
are
Simple
,
and
some
are
Compound
.
3
.
Simple
Oyuls
are
such
as
are
made
of
Fruits
or
Seeds
,
by
expression
,
as
Oyl
of
sweet
and
bitter
Almonds
,
Linseed
,
and
Rapeseed
Oyl
&c
.
of
which
see
my
Dispensatory
.
4
.
Compound
Oyls
are
made
of
Oyl
of
Olives
and
other
Simples
,
imagine
Herbs
,
Flowers
,
Roots
,
&c
.
5
.
The
way
of
making
them
is
this
,
having
bruised
the
Herbs
or
Flowers
you
would
make
your
Oyl
of
,
put
them
in
an
Earthen
pot
,
and
to
two
or
three
handfuls
of
them
,
powr
a
pint
of
Oyl
,
cover
the
pot
with
a
paper
,
and
set
it
in
the
Sun
,
about
a
Fortnight
or
less
according
as
the
Sun
is
in
hotness
;
then
having
warmed
it
very
well
by
the
fire
,
press
out
the
Herbs
&c
.
very
hard
in
a
press
,
and
ad
as
many
more
Herbs
to
the
same
Oyl
,
bruised
(
the
Herbs
I
mean
not
the
Oyl
in
like
manner
,
set
them
in
the
Sun
as
before
,
the
oftner
you
repeat
this
the
stronger
will
your
Oyl
be
;
at
last
when
you
conceive
it
strong
enough
,
boyl
both
Herbs
and
Oyl
together
till
the
Juyce
be
consumed
which
you
may
know
by
its
leaving
its
bubling
,
and
the
Herbs
will
be
crisp
,
then
strain
it
,
whilst
it
is
hot
,
and
keep
it
in
a
stone
or
Glass
Vessel
for
your
use
.
6
.
As
for
Chymical
Oyls
,
I
have
nothing
to
say
in
this
Treatise
.
7
.
The
General
use
of
these
Oyls
is
for
pain
in
the
Limbs
,
roughness
of
the
Skin
,
the
Itch
&c
.
as
also
for
Oyntments
and
Plaisters
.
8
.
If
you
have
occasion
to
use
it
for
Wounds
or
Ulcers
,
in
two
ounces
of
Oyl
,
dissolve
half
an
ounce
of
Turpentine
,
the
heat
of
the
fire
will
quickly
do
it
,
for
Oyl
it
self
is
offensive
to
Wounds
,
and
the
Turpentine
qualifies
it
.

Of
Electuaries
.
Physitians
make
more
a
quoil
than
needs
behalf
about
Electuaries
:
I
shall
prescribe
but
one
general
way
of
making
them
up
,
as
for
the
Ingredients
you
may
vary
them
as
you
please
,
and
according
as
you
find
occassion
by
the
last
Chapter
.
1
.
That
you
may
make
Electuaries
when
you
need
them
,
it
is
requisite
that
you
keep
alwaies
Herbs
,
Roots
,
Seeds
,
Flowers
&c
.
ready
dried
in
your
House
,
that
so
you
may
be
in
readiness
to
beat
them
into
pouder
when
you
need
them
.
2
.
Your
better
way
is
to
keep
them
whol
than
beaten
,
for
being
beaten
they
are
the
more
subject
to
lose
their
strength
,
because
the
Air
soon
penetrates
them
.
3
.
If
they
be
not
dry
enough
to
beat
into
pouder
when
you
need
them
,
dry
them
by
a
gentle
fire
till
they
are
so
.
4
.
Having
beaten
them
,
sift
them
through
a
fine
Tiffany
Searce
,
that
so
there
may
be
no
great
pieces
found
in
your
Electuary
.
5
.
To
an
ounce
of
your
Pouder
,
ad
three
ounces
of
clarified
Honey
,
this
quantity
I
hold
to
be
sufficient
;
I
confess
Authors
differ
about
it
:
If
you
would
make
more
or
less
Electuary
,
vary
your
proportions
accordingly
.
6
.
Mix
them
well
together
in
a
Mortar
,
and
take
this
for
a
truth
,
you
cannot
mix
them
too
much
.
7
.
The
way
to
clarifie
Honey
is
to
set
it
over
the
fire
in
a
convenient
vessel
till
the
scum
arise
,
and
when
the
scum
is
taken
off
it
is
clarified
.
8
.
The
usual
Dose
of
Cordial
Electuaries
is
from
half
a
dram
to
two
drams
,
of
purging
Electuaries
from
half
an
ounce
to
an
ounce
.
9
.
The
manner
of
keeping
them
is
in
a
pot
.
10
.
The
time
of
taking
them
,
is
either
in
the
morning
fasting
,
and
fasting
an
hour
after
them
,
or
a
night
going
to
bed
three
or
four
hours
after
supper
.

Of
Conserves
.
1
.
The
way
of
making
Conserves
is
two
-
fold
,
one
of
Herbs
and
Flowers
,
and
the
other
of
Fruits
.
2
.
Conserves
of
Herbs
and
Flowers
are
thus
made
,
If
you
make
your
Conserves
of
Herbs
,
as
of
Scurvy
-
grass
,
Wormwood
,
Rue
,
or
the
like
,
take
only
the
Leaves
and
tender
tops
(
for
you
may
beat
your
heart
out
before
you
can
beat
the
Stalks
small
)
and
having
beaten
them
,
waigh
them
,
and
to
everie
pound
of
them
ad
three
pound
of
Sugar
,
beat
them
verie
well
together
in
a
Mortar
,
you
cannot
beat
them
too
much
.
3
.
Conserves
of
Fruits
,
as
of
Barberries
,
Sloes
,
and
the
like
is
thus
made
;
First
scald
the
Fruit
,
then
rub
the
pulp
through
a
thick
hair
Sieve
made
for
the
purpose
,
called
a
pulping
Sieve
,
you
may
do
it
for
a
need
with
the
back
of
a
Spoon
,
then
take
this
Pulp
thus
drawn
,
and
ad
to
it
its
waight
of
Sugar
and
no
more
,
put
it
in
a
Peuter
Vessel
,
and
over
a
Charcoal
fire
stir
it
up
and
down
till
the
Sugar
be
melted
,
and
your
Conserve
is
made
.
4
.
Thus
have
you
the
way
of
making
Conserves
,
the
way
of
keeping
of
them
is
in
Earthen
pots
.
5
.
The
Dose
is
usually
the
quantity
of
a
Nutmeg
at
a
time
morning
and
evening
,
or
(
unless
they
be
purging
)
when
you
please
.
6
.
Of
Conserves
,
some
keep
many
yeers
,
as
Conserves
of
Roses
,
others
but
a
yeer
,
as
Conserves
of
Borrage
,
Bugloss
,
Cowslips
and
the
like
.
7
.
Have
a
care
of
the
working
of
some
Conserves
presently
after
they
are
made
,
look
to
them
once
a
day
and
stir
them
about
;
Conserves
of
Borrage
,
Bugloss
,
and
Wormwood
have
gotten
an
excellent
faculty
at
that
sport
.
8
.
You
may
know
when
your
Conserves
are
almost
spoiled
by
this
,
you
shall
find
a
hard
crust
at
top
with
little
holes
in
it
as
though
Worms
had
been
eating
there

Of
Preserves
.
Of
Preserves
are
sundry
sorts
,
and
the
Operations
of
all
being
somthing
different
we
will
handle
them
all
apart
.
There
are
preserved
with
Sugar
,
1
Flowers
.
2
Fruits
.
3
Roots
.
4
Barks

1
.
Flowers
are
but
very
seldom
preserved
,
I
never
saw
any
that
I
remember
save
only
Cowslip
Flowers
,
and
that
was
a
great
fashion
in
Sussex
when
I
was
a
boy
;
It
is
thus
done
,
first
,
take
a
flat
Glass
,
we
call
them
jarr
Glasses
,
strew
in
a
lain
of
fine
Sugar
,
on
that
a
lain
of
Flowers
,
on
that
another
lain
of
Sugar
,
on
that
another
lain
of
Flowers
,
do
so
til
your
Glass
be
full
,
then
tie
it
over
with
a
paper
,
and
in
a
little
time
you
shall
have
very
excellent
and
pleasant
Preserves
.
There
is
another
way
of
Preserving
Flowers
,
namely
with
Vinegar
and
Salt
,
as
they
pickle
Capers
and
Broom
Buds
,
but
because
I
have
little
skill
in
it
my
self
I
canot
teach
you
.
2
.
Fruits
,
as
Quinces
and
the
like
are
preserved
two
waies
.
First
,
Boyl
them
well
in
Water
,
and
then
pulp
them
through
a
Sieve
as
we
shewed
you
before
;
then
with
the
like
quantity
of
Sugar
boyl
the
Water
they
were
boyled
in
to
a
Syrup
,
viz
.
a
pound
of
Sugar
to
a
pint
of
Liquor
,
to
every
pound
of
this
Syrup
ad
four
ounces
of
the
Pulp
,
then
boyl
it
with
a
very
gentle
fire
to
the
right
consistence
,
which
you
may
easily
know
if
you
drop
a
drop
of
it
upon
a
Trencher
,
if
it
be
enough
it
will
not
stick
to
your
fingers
when
it
is
cold
.
Secondly
,
Another
way
to
preserve
Fruits
is
this
,
First
pare
off
the
rind
,
then
cut
them
in
halves
and
take
out
the
Core
,
then
boyl
them
in
Water
till
they
are
soft
,
If
you
know
when
Beef
is
boyled
enough
you
may
easily
know
when
they
are
;
then
boyl
the
Water
with
its
like
waight
of
Sugar
into
a
Syrup
,
put
the
Syrup
into
a
Pot
,
and
put
the
boyled
Fruit
as
whol
as
you
left
it
when
you
cut
it
into
it
,
and
let
it
so
remain
till
you
have
occasion
to
use
it
.
3
.
Roots
are
thus
preserved
,
First
,
scrape
them
very
clean
,
and
clense
them
from
the
Pith
if
they
have
any
,
for
some
Roots
have
not
,
as
Eringo
and
the
like
,
boyl
them
in
Water
till
they
be
soft
as
we
shew
you
before
in
the
Fruits
,
then
boyl
the
Water
you
boyled
the
Roots
into
a
Syrup
as
we
shewed
you
before
,
then
keep
the
Roots
whol
in
the
Syrup
till
you
use
them
.
4
.
As
for
Barks
we
have
but
few
come
to
our
hands
to
be
done
,
and
those
of
those
few
that
I
can
remember
,
are
Orrenges
,
Lemmons
,
Citrons
,
and
the
outer
Bark
of
Walnuts
which
grows
without
the
Shell
,
for
the
Shels
themselves
would
make
but
scurvy
Preserves
,
there
be
they
I
can
remember
,
if
there
be
any
more
put
them
into
the
number
.
The
way
of
Preserving
these
is
not
all
one
in
Authors
,
for
some
are
bitter
,
some
are
not
,
such
as
are
bitter
,
say
Authors
,
must
be
soaked
in
warm
Water
,
often
times
changed
till
their
bitter
tast
be
fled
,
but
I
like
not
this
way
,
and
my
reason
is
,
because
I
doubt
when
their
bitterness
is
gone
,
so
is
their
Vertues
also
;
I
shall
then
prescribe
one
commmon
way
,
namely
the
same
with
the
former
,

Of
Lohochs

.
That
which
the
Arabians
call
Lohoch
,
and
the
Greeks
Eclegma
,
the
Latins
call
Linetus
,
and
in
plain
English
,
signifies
nothing
else
but
a
thing
to
be
licked
up
.
2
.
Their
first
invention
was
to
prevent
and
remedy
afflictions
of
the
Breast
and
Lungs
,
to
clense
the
Lungs
of
Flegm
,
and
make
it
fit
to
be
cast
out
.
3
.
They
are
in
Body
thicker
than
a
Syrup
,
and
not
so
thick
as
an
Electuary
.
4
.
The
manner
of
taking
them
is
often
to
take
a
little
with
a
Liquoris
stick
and
let
it
go
down
at
leisure
.
5
.
They
are
easily
thus
made
,
make
a
Decoction
of
any
pectoral
Herbs
,
the
Treatise
will
furnish
you
with
enough
,
and
when
you
have
strained
it
,
with
twise
its
waight
of
Honey
or
Sugar
,
boyl
it
to
a
Lohoch
;
If
you
are
molested
with
tough
Flegm
,
Honey
is
better
than
Sugar
,
and
if
you
ad
a
little
Vinegar
to
it
you
will
do
well
,
if
not
,
I
hold
Sugar
to
be
better
than
Honey
.
6
.
It
is
kept
in
Pots
and
will
a
yeer
and
longer
.
7

Its
use
is
excellent
for
roughness
of
the
Windpipe
,
Inflamations
of
the
Lungs
,
Ulcers
in
the
Lungs
,
difficultie
of
Breath
,

Of
Oyntments
.
1
.
Various
are
the
waies
of
making
Oyntments
which
Authors
have
left
to
posteritie
,
which
I
shall
omit
and
quote
one
which
is
easiest
to
be
made
,
and
therefore
most
beneficial
to
people
that
are
ignorant
in
Physick
,
for
whose
sakes
I
write
this
;
It
is
thus
done
.
Bruise
those
Herbs
,
Flowers
,
or
Roots
you
would
make
an
Oyntment
of
,
and
to
two
handfuls
of
your
bruised
Herbs
ad
a
pound
of
Hogs
Grease
tryed
,
or
clensed
from
the
skins
,
beat
them
very
well
together
in
a
stone
Mortar
with
a
wooden
Pestle
,
then
put
it
in
a
stone
Pot
(
the
Herbs
and
Grease
I
mean
,
not
the
Mortar
)
cover
it
with
a
paper
,
and
set
it
either
in
the
Sun
or
some
other
warm
place
three
,
four
,
or
fivs
daies
,
that
it
may
melt
,
then
take
it
out
and
boyl
it
a
little
,
then
whilst
it
is
hot
,
strain
it
out
,
pressing
it
out
very
hard
in
a
Press
,
to
this
Grease
ad
as
many
more
Herbs
bruised
as
before
,
let
them
stand
in
like
manner
as
long
,
then
boyl
them
as
you
did
the
former
,
if
you
think
your
Oyntment
be
not
strong
enough
you
may
do
it
the
third
and
fourth
time
;
yet
this
I
tell
you
,
the
fuller
of
Juyce
your
Herbs
are
,
the
sooner
will
your
Oyntment
be
strong
,
the
last
time
you
boyl
it
,
boyl
it
so
long
till
your
Herbs
be
crisp
and
the
Juyce
consumed
,
then
strain
it
,
pressing
it
hard
in
a
Press
,
and
to
every
pound
of
Oyntment
,
ad
two
ounces
of
Turpentine
,
and
as
much
Wax
,
because
Grease
is
offensive
to
Wounds
as
well
as
Oyl
,
2
.
Oyntments
are
vulgarly
known
to
be
kept
in
Pots
,
and
will
last
above
a
yeer
,
above
two
yeer
.

Of
Plaisters
.
1
.
The
Greeks
made
their
Plaisters
of
diverse
Simples
and
put
Mettals
in
most
of
them
if
not
in
all
,
for
having
reduced
their
Mettals
into
Pouder
they
mixed
them
with
that
fatty
substance
,
whereof
the
rest
of
the
Plaister
consisted
.
whilst
it
was
yet
hot
,
continually
stirring
it
up
and
down
lest
it
should
sink
to
the
bottom
,
so
they
continually
stirred
it
till
it
was
stiff
,
then
they
made
it
up
in
rolls
,
which
when
they
need
for
use
they
could
melt
by
the
fire
again
.
2
.
The
Arabians
made
up
theirs
wih
Meals
,
Oyl
,
and
Fat
,
which
needed
not
so
long
boyling
.
3
.
The
Greeks
Emplasters
consisted
of
these
Ingredients
,
Mettals
,
Stones
,
diverse
sorts
of
Earths
,
Feces
,
Juyces
,
Liquoiris
,

Of
Pultisses
.
1
.
Pultisses
are
those
kind
of
things
which
the
Latins
call
Cataplasmata
,
and
our
learned
Fellows
that
if
they
can
read
English
thats
all
,
call
them
Cataplasms
,
because
'tis
a
crabbed
word
few
understand
;
it
is
indeed
a
very
fine
kind
of
Medicine
to
ripen
Sores
,
2
.
They
are
made
of
Herbs
and
Roots
fitted
to
the
Disease
and
Member
afflicted
,
being
chopped
smal
and
boyled
in
Water
almost
to
a
Jelly
,
then
by
adding
a
little
Barley
Meal
or
Meal
of
Lupines
,
and
a
little
Oyl
or
rough
Sheep
Suet
,
which
I
hold
to
be
better
,
spread
upon
a
cloath
and
applied
to
the
grieved
place
.
3
.
Their
use
is
to
ease
pains
,
to
break
Sores
,
to
cool
Inflamations
,
to
dissolve
hardness
,
to
ease
the
Spleen
,
to
concoct
Humors
,
to
dissipate
Swellings
.
4
.
I
beseech
you
take
this
Caution
along
with
you
,
Use
no
Pultissees
(
if
you
can
help
it
)
that
are
of
a
heating
Nature
;
before
you
have
first
clensed
the
Body
,
because
they
are
subject
to
draw
the
Humors
to
them
from
every
part
of
the
Body
.

Of
Troches
.
1
.
The
Latins
call
them
Placentule
,
or
little
Cakes
(
and
you
might
have
seen
what
the
Greeks
call
them
too
,
had
not
the
last
Edition
of
my
London
Dispensatory
been
so
hellishly
printed
,
that's
all
the
Commonwealth
gets
by
one
Stationer's
printing
anothers
Coppies
,
viz
.
To
plague
the
Country
with
false
Prints
,
and
disgrace
the
Author
)
***
they
are
usually
little
round
flat
Cakes
,
or
you
may
make
them
square
if
you
will
.
2
.
Their
first
invention
was
,
that
Pouders
being
so
kept
might
resist
the
intromission
of
Air
and
so
endure
pure
the
longer
.
3
.
Besides
,
they
are
the
easier
carried
in
the
Pockets
of
such
as
travel
;
many
a
man
(
for
example
)
is
forced
to
travel
whose
Stomach
is
too
cold
,
or
at
least
not
so
hot
as
it
should
be
,
which
is
most
proper
,
for
the
Stomach
is
never
cold
till
a
man
be
dead
;
in
such
a
case
'tis
better
to
carry
Troches
of
Wormwood
or
of
Galanga
,
in
a
Paper
in
his
Pocket
and
more
convenient
behalf
than
to
lug
a
Gall
-
pot
along
with
him
.
4
.
They
are
thus
made
,
At
night
when
you
go
to
bed
,
take
two
drams
of
fine
Gum
Tragacanth
,
put
it
into
a
Gally
-
pot
,
and
put
half
a
quarter
of
a
pint
of
any
distilled
Water
fitting
the
purpose
you
would
make
your
Troches
for
,
to
it
,
cover
it
,
and
the
next
morning
you
shall
find
it
in
such
a
Jelly
as
Physitians
call
Mussilage
,
with
this
you
may
(
with
a
little
pains
taking
)
make
any
Pouder
into
Past
,
and
that
Past
into
little
Cakes
called
Troches
.
5
.
Having
made
them
,
dry
them
well
in
the
shadow
and
keep
them
in
a
Pot
for
your

Of
Pills
.
1
.
They
are
called
Pilulae
because
they
resemble
little
Balls
,
the
Greeks
call
them
Catapotia
.
2
.
It
is
the
Opinion
of
Modern
Physitians
that
this
way
of
making
up
Medicines
was
invented
only
to
deceive
the
Pallat
,
that
so
by
swallowing
them
down
whol
,
the
bitterness
of
the
medicine
might
not
be
perceived
or
at
least
it
might
not
be
unsufferable
,
and
indeed
most
of
their
Pills
though
not
all
are
very
bitter
.
3
.
I
am
of
a
clean
contrary
Opinion
to
this
,
I
rather
think
they
were
done
up
in
this
hard
form
that
so
they
might
be
the
longer
in
digesting
,
and
my
Opinion
is
grounded
upon
Reason
too
,
not
upon
Fancy
nor
Hear
-
say
;
The
first
invention
of
Pills
was
to
purge
the
Head
,
now
as
I
told
you
before
,
such
Infirmities
as
lay
neer
the
passages
,
were
best
removed
by
Decoctions
,
because
they
pass
to
the
grieved
part
soonest
,
so
here
,
if
the
infirmity
lie
in
the
Head
or
any
other
remote
part
,
the
best
way
is
to
use
Pills
,
because
they
are
longer
in
digestion
,
and
therefore
the
better
able
to
call
the
offending
Humor
to
them
.

If
I
should
tell
you
here
a
long
Tale
of
Medicines
working
by
Sympathy
and
Antipathy
,
you
would
not
understand
a
word
of
it
,
they
that
are
fit
to
make
Physitians
may
find
it
in
the
Treatise
:
All
Modern
Physitians
know
not
what
belonged
to
a
Sympathetical
Cure
,
no
more
than
a
Cookoo
knows
what
belongs
to
Flats
and
Sharps
in
Musick
,
but
follow
the
vulgar
road
,
and
call
it
a
hidden
quality
because
'tis
hid
from
the
Eyes
of
Dunces
,
and
indeed
none
but
Astrologers
can
give
a
reason
of
it
,
and
Physick
without
Reason
is
like
a
Pudding
without
Fat
.
5
.
The
way
to
make
Pills
is
very
easie
,
for
with
the
help
of
a
Pestle
and
Mortar
and
little
diligence
,
you
may
make
any
Pouder
into
PiIls

I

To

Vulgar

2
.
To
such
as
study
Astrology
,
or
such
as
study
Physick
Astrologically
.
First
to
the
Vulgar
:
Kind
souls
I
am
sorry
it
hath
been
your
hard
mishap
to
have
been
so
long
trained
in
such
Egyptian
darkness
,
even
darkness
which
to
your
sorrows
may
be
felt
;
the
vulgar
road
of
Physick
is
not
my
practice
,
and
I
am
therefore
the
more
unfit
to
give
you
advice
;
and
I
have
now
published
a
little
Book
which
will
fully
instruct
you
not
only
in
the
knowledg
of
your
own
Bodies
but
also
in
fit
Medicines
to
remedy
each
part
of
it
when
afflicted
,
mean
season
take
these
few
Rules
to
stay
your
Stomachs
.
1
.
With
the
Disease
regard
the
Cause
and
part
of
the
Body
afflicted
,
for
example
,
suppose
a
Woman
be
subect
to
miscarry
through
wind
,
thus
do
,
1
.
Look
«
Abortion
»
in
the
Table
of
Diseases
,
and
you
shall
be
directed
by
that
how
many
Herbs
prevent
miscarriage
.
2
.
Look
«
Wind
»
in
the
same
Table
,
and
you
shall
see
how
many
of
those
Herbs
expell
wind
.
These
are
the
Herbs
Medicinal
for
your
Grief
.
2
.
In
all
Diseases
strengthen
the
part
of
the
Body
afflicted
.
3
.
In
mixed
Diseases
there
lies
some
difficulty
,
for
somtimes
two
parts
of
the
Body
are
afflicted
with
contrary
Humors
the
one
to
the
other
,
somtimes
one
part
is
afflicted
with
two
contrary
Humors
,
as
somtimes
the
Liver
is
afflicted
with
Choller
and
Water
,
as
when
a
man
hath
both
a
Dropsie
and
the
yellow
Jaundice
,
and
this
is
usually
mortal
.
In
the
former
,
suppose
the
Brain
be
too
cold
and
moist
,
and
the
Liver
too
hot
and
dry
,
thus
do
,
1
.
Keep
your
Head
outwardly
warm
.
2
.
Accustom
your
self
to
smell
of
hot
Herbs
.
3
.
Take
a
Pill
that
heats
the
Head
at
night
going
to
bed
.
4
.
In
the
morning
take
a
Decoction
that
cools
the
Liver
,
for
that
quickly
passeth
the
Stomach
,
and
is
at
the
Liver
immediately
.
You
must
not
think
(
Courteous
People
)
that
I
can
spend
time
to
give
you
examples
of
all
Diseases
,
these
are
enough
to
let
you
see
so
much
light
as
you
without
Art
are
able
to
received
,
If
I
should
set
you
to
look
upon
the
Sun
I
should
dazle
your
eyes
and
make
you
blind
.
Secondly
,
To
such
as
study
Astrology
(
who
are
the
only
men
I
know
that
are
fit
to
study
Physick
,
Physick
without
Astrology
,
being
like
a
Lamp
without
Oyl
)
you
are
men
I
exceedingly
respect
,
and
such
Documents
as
my
Brain
can
give
you
at
present
(
being
absent
from
my
study
)
I
shall
give
you
,
and
an
example
to
shew
the
proof
of
them
.
1
.
Fortifie
the
Body
with
Herbs
of
the
Nature
of
the
lord
of
the
Ascendent
,
'tis
no
matter
whether
he
be
a
Fortune
or
an
Infortune
in
this
case
.
2
.
Let
your
Medicine
be
somthing
Antipathetical
to
the
lord
of
the
sixth
.
3
.
Let
your
Medicine
be
somthing
of
the
Nature
of
the
Sign
ascending
.
4
.
If
the
lord
of
the
Tenth
be
strong
,
make
use
of
his
Medicines
.
5
.
If
this
cannot
well
be
,
make
use
of
the
Medicines
of
the
light
of
time
.
6
.
Be
sure
alwaies
fortifie
the
grieved
part
of
the
body
by
Sympathetical
Remedies
.
7
.
Regard
the
Heart
,
keep
that
upon
the
Wheels
because
the
Sun
is
the
Fountain
of
Life
,
and
therefore
those
Universal
Remedies
Aurum
potabile
,
and
the
Phylosophers
Stone
,
cure
all
Diseases
by
only
fortifying
the
Heart
.
But
that
this
may
appear
unto
you
as
cleer
as
the
Sun
when
he
is
upon
the
Meridian
,
I
here
quote
you
an
Example
,
which
I
performed
when
I
was
as
far
off
from
my
study
as
I
am
now
,
yet
am
I
not
ashamed
the
world
should
see
how
much
or
little
of
my
Lesson
I
have
learned
without
Book
.
On
July

out
of
Bedfordhsire
,
from
a
Gentleman
(
at
that
time
)
altogether
to
me
unknown
,
though
since
well
known
,
who
was
a
Student
both
in
Astrologie
and
Physick
:
The
words
which
are
these
;
Mr
.
Culpeper
,
My
Love
remembred
unto
you
,
although
I
know
you
not
by
face
;
yet
because
I
do
much
respect
that
pretty
little
Lark
,
you
so
lately
let
fly
into
the
world
,
which
you
call
Semeiotica
Uranica
,
which
I
have
lately
taken
into
my
Cage
;
I
am
therefore
imboldned
to
write
unto
you
in
the
behalf
of
a
Neighbors
Wife
,
who
is
taken
with
a
very
violent
Disease
which
began
in
the
lowr
parts
of
her
Body
,
but
is
now
ascended
upwards
,
and
tormenteth
her
in
her
Breast
,
Throat
,
Tongue
,
and
Lips
:
This
Disease
took
possession
of
her
(
as
she
relateth
to
me
)
about
a
fortnight
before
Michaelmas
last
,
but
the
certain
day
and
hour
she
is
not
able
to
nominate
;
she
sent
for
me
,
and
enquired
whether
she
were
not
under
an
ill
Tongue
or
not
,
or
of
what
nature
the
Disease
was
:
I
have
sent
you
the
enclosed
Scheam
,
I
could
find
but
one
testimony
of
Fascination
or
Witchcraft
,
which
was
one
Sign
possessing
the
Cusps
of
the
Twelfth
and
First
Houses
,
which
to
me
holds
forth
no
more
than
a
strong
suspition
of
it
by
the
Querent
;
However
I
am
confident
there
is
a
natural
Disease
which
hurts
much
,
because
the
Lord
of
the
Sixt
,
which
usually
gives
signification
of
Natural
Diseases
,
is
now
placed
in
the
Ascendent
;
but
at
present
I
forbear
to
make
any
large
discours
of
mine
own
Opinions
,
being
desirous
that
you
would
endeavor
your
Skill
in
this
Cure
,
for
there
is
not
a
Doctor
of
them
all
far
or
near
that
have
been
so
skilful
to
find
out
the
Disease
,
much
less
to
effect
the
Cure
.
Sr
.
I
expect
your
Answer
;
mean
time
bid
you
farewel
,
and
remain
yours
in
Affection
,
&c
.
The
inclosed
Scheam
.
***
My
Answer
to
the
Letter
,
was
to
this
effect
.
Sir
,
I
received
yours
,
July
25
.
wherein
I
find
your
enclosed
Scheam
,
and
(
I
suppose
)
the
nature
of
the
Disease
,
and
have
sent
you
such
an
Answer
as
I
could
,
being
far
from
my
Study
,
which
I
entreat
you
to
take
in
good
part
,
being
Fastinanti
calamo
Conscripta
.
As
for
the
ignorance
of
your
Country
Doctors
,
they
wanting
the
true
Judgment
of
Astrology
,
is
to
me
no
waies
admirable
;
I
perceive
you
to
be
a
yong
man
by
the
time
of
your
Genesis
,
which
you
also
sent
me
,
beware
whom
you
trust
with
that
,
he
that
knows
your
Nativity
knows
when
ill
Directions
operate
,
and
if
he
be
an
Enemy
,
knows
when
to
do
you
a
mischief
;
If
Cecil
had
not
had
Essex
his
Nativity
,
he
had
never
gotten
his
Head
off
,
but
to
instruct
you
being
a
yong
Student
,
I
shall
give
you
my
Judgment
Methodically
.
Diacritica
.
You
say
you
can
find
no
Arguments
of
Witchcraft
,
but
only
one
Sign
possessing
the
Cusps
of
both
Twelth
and
Ascendent
,
but
if
you
had
regarded
the
Propinquity
of
Venus
to
Saturn
you
would
have
made
another
of
that
,
yet
do
not
I
think
she
is
bewitched
,
because
of
other
more
prevalent
testimonies
;
the
Moon
passing
from
the
beams
of
Mars
to
the
beams
of
Venus
may
seem
to
give
some
suspition
of
Honesty
,
and
the
Disease
to
come
that
way
,
which
is
encreased
by
Mars
his
being
in
the
Ascendent
in
Scorpio
,
and
the
Dragons
Tail
upon
the
Cusp
,
yet
I
can
hardly
beleeve
this
,
for
Cauda
in
a
humane
Sign
usually
gives
Slanders
and
not
Tales
of
Truth
,
'tis
a
hundred
to
one
if
she
suffer
not
in
point
of
good
name
by
the
vulgar
(
this
was
too
true
)
Besides
,
the
neerness
of
Venus
to
Saturn
may
well
shew
trouble
of
mind
,
and
it
being
in
the
ninth
House
,
pray
enquire
whether
she
have
not
been
troubled
about
some
tenents
in
Religion
(
the
trouble
of
mind
was
true
,
but
it
was
about
a
stranger
,
which
the
ninth
House
also
signifies
.
)
Diagnostica
.
Venus
,
Lady
of
the
Twelfth
,
and
Ascendent
,
and
Kigth
,
shews
her
alwaies
to
be
her
own
foe
in
respect
of
Health
;
and
truly
I
beleeve
the
original
of
the
Disease
was
a
Surfet
either
by
eating
moist
Fruits
,
or
else
by
catching
wet
in
travelling
;
Venus
with
Saturn
who
is
in
square
to
the
Ascendent
troubles
her
Breast
with
tough
Flegm
and
Melancholly
:
Besides
,
there
being
a
most
forcible
reception
between
the
Moon
and
Venus
from
fruitful
Signs
,
I
question
whether
she
be
not
with
Child
or
not
,
the
Moon
being
in
the
fifth
House
,
Mars
is
lord
of
the
Disease
,
really
in
the
Scorpion
,
and
accidentally
in
the
Ascendent
,
together
with
Aries
on
the
sixt
,
shew
the
Disease
keeps
his
Court
in
the
Womb
,
and
accidentaly
afflicts
the
Head
from
thence
,
so
that
heat
of
the
Womb
must
needs
be
cause
of
the
present
distemper
,
and
Mars
in
a
moist
Sign
in
the
first
neer
the
second
may
well
denote
heat
,
and
breaking
out
about
her
Face
and
Throat
.
Prognostica
.
Whether
she
be
curable
or
not
,
or
how
or
when
the
Disease
will
end
is
our
next
Point
;
Truly
I
can
see
no
danger
of
death
the
Moon
being
strong
in
her
hain
,
and
applying
by
Trine
with
a
strong
reception
to
the
Lady
of
the
Ascendent
;
yet
this
is
certain
,
Mars
strong
in
a
fixed
Sign
will
maintain
the
Disease
stoutly
,
her
hopes
will
be
but
smal
when
Venus
comes
to
the
Body
of
Saturn
,
viz
.
August
2
.
for
she
will
be
overpressed
with
Melancholly
,
the
time
I
suppose
of
her
Cure
may
be
(
if
good
courses
be
taken
)
when
Mars
leaves
the
Sign
he
is
in
,
and
comes
to
the
place
where
the
Body
of
Jupiter
is
,
or
at
least
then
it
may
turn
to
another
Disease
more
propitious
;
the
Sun
strong
in
the
Tenth
shews
she
may
be
cured
by
Medicine
,
and
he
being
exalted
in
the
seventh
,
and
caput
there
,
I
do
not
know
but
you
are
as
likely
a
man
to
do
it
as
any
.
Indications
Curative
.
It
is
confessed
here
that
the
Sun
being
exceeding
strong
in
the
tenth
House
,
should
naturally
signifie
the
curative
Medicine
,
and
as
true
that
the
evils
of
Mars
,
viz
.
heat
in
the
Womb
,
and
a
salt
humor
in
the
blood
ought
to
be
removed
before
you
meddle
with
the
tough
Flegm
in
the
Breast
,
but
yet
seeing
the
Disease
seems
rather
to
participate
of
offending
heat
than
any
other
Simple
quality
,
you
must
have
a
care
of
hot
Medicines
lest
you
go
about
ignem
oleo
extinguere
,
the
Medicines
must
1
.
be
cool
,
2
.
strengthning
the
Womb
,
3
.
repressing
the
vapors
,
4
.
of
the
nature
of
Sol
and
Venus
.
Therapeutice
.
To
this
intent
,
I
first
commend
unto
you
stinking
Arrach
,
a
pattern
whereof
I
have
sent
you
enclosed
,
you
may
find
it
upon
Dunghils
,
especially
such
as
are
made
of
Horse
dung
:
It
is
cold
and
moist
,
an
Herb
of
Venus
in
the
Scorpion
;
Also
Ros
Solis
an
Herb
of
the
Sun
and
under
the
Coelestial
Crab
,
may
do
very
well
,
and
the
better
because
Venus
is
in
Cancer
:
It
grows
upon
Bogs
in
untilled
places
,
and
is
in
flower
about
this
time
,
it
grows
very
low
,
with
roundish
green
leaves
full
of
red
hairs
,
and
is
fullest
of
dew
when
the
Sun
is
hottest
,
whence
it
took
its
name
;
to
these
you
may
ad
Tansie
,
which
I
take
to
be
an
Herb
of
Venus
in
Libra
,
and
Lettice
if
you
please
which
is
an
Herb
of
the
Moon
,
Mars
having
his
fall
in
Cancer
they
are
all
harmless
,
you
may
use
them
according
to
your
own
descretion
:
also
Orpine
,
another
Herb
of
the
Moon
is
very
good
in
this
case
.
Sir
,
I
wish
you
well
,
and
if
you
esteem
of
my
Lark
above
his
deserts
,
I
pray
trim
his
Feathers
for
him
(
correct
the
Errors
by
the
Errata
)
else
will
he
make
but
unpleasing
Musick
.
Thus
remain
yours
,
&c
.
I
the
rather
chose
this
Figure
to
judg
of
,
because
none
should
have
just
occasion
to
say
of
us
Astologers
that
we
do
as
Physitians
vulgar
practice
is
,
when
they
judg
of
Piss
;
first
pump
what
they
can
out
of
the
Querent
,
and
then
judg
by
his
words
;
of
which
I
will
rehearse
you
one
merry
story
,
and
so
I
will
conclude
the
Book
.
A
Woman
whose
Husband
had
bruised
himself
,
took
his
Water
,
and
away
to
the
Doctor
trots
she
;
the
Doctor
takes
the
Piss
and
shakes
it
about
,
How
long
hath
this
party
been
ill
(
saith
he
)
Sr
.
saith
the
Woman
,
He
hath
been
ill
these
two
daies
,
This
is
a
mans
water
quoth
the
Doctor
presently
,
this
he
learned
by
the
word
HE
;
then
looking
on
the
water
he
spied
blood
in
it
,
the
man
hath
had
a
bruise
saith
he
,
I
indeed
saith
the
woman
,
my
Husband
fell
down
a
pair
of
stairs
backwards
,
then
the
Doctor
knew
well
enough
that
what
came
first
to
danger
must
needs
be
his
back
and
shoulders
,
said
,
the
Bruise
lay
there
;
the
woman
she
admired
at
the
Doctors
skil
,
and
told
him
,
that
if
he
could
tell
her
one
thing
more
she
would
account
him
the
ablest
Physitian
in
Europe
;
well
,
what
was
that
?
How
many
Stairs
her
Husband
fell
down
,
this
was
a
hard
Question
indeed
,
able
to
puzle
a
stronger
Brain
than
Mr
.
Doctor
had
,
to
pumping
goes
he
,
and
having
taken
the
Urinal
and
given
it
a
shake
or
two
,
enquires
whereabout
she
lived
,
and
knowing
well
the
place
,
and
that
the
Houses
thereabouts
were
but
low
built
Houses
,
made
answer
(
after
another
view
of
the
urine
for
fashion
sake
)
that
probably
he
might
fall
down
some
seven
or
eight
stairs
;
ah
,
quoth
the
woman
,
now
I
see
you
know
nothing
,
my
Husband
fell
down
thirty
;
thirthy
!
quoth
the
Doctor
,
and
snatching
up
the
Urinal
,
is
here
all
the
water
saith
he
?
no
saith
the
woman
,
I
spilt
some
in
putting
of
it
in
,
look
you
there
quoth
Mr
.
Doctor
,
there
were
all
the
other
stairs
spilt
.
Yet
mistake
me
not
,
I
do
not
deny
but
such
whose
daily
experience
is
to
judg
Waters
,
and
usually
judg
a
hundred
in
a
day
may
know
somthing
by
them
:
If
any
thing
may
be
known
by
Urine
,
I
am
sure
it
may
by
Art
,
put
them
both
together
,
vis
unita
fortior
.
Thus
I
take
my
leave
of
you
;
be
diligent
and
I
am
yours
.
