country_n which_o have_v see_v the_o tree_n and_o gather_v the_o fruit_n do_v witness_n that_o not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o tree_n but_o diverse_a and_o different_a do_v bear_v these_o spice_n and_o that_o the_o plant_n which_o do_v bear_v white_a pepper_n and_o black_a pepper_n be_v not_o tree_n of_o any_o bigness_n but_o weak_a shrub_n which_o do_v climb_v up_o by_o other_o tree_n as_o a_o juie_n do_v in_o this_o our_o country_n and_o have_v leaf_n like_o to_o the_o apple_n three_fw-mi call_v malum_fw-la assyrium_fw-la and_o do_v carry_v their_o fruit_n in_o cluster_n like_o the_o cluster_n of_o grape_n of_o vine_n tree_n which_o be_v always_o green_a until_o they_o wax_v ripe_a and_o garcia_n who_o live_v in_o these_o part_n write_v that_o the_o plant_n which_o yield_v the_o white_a pepper_n do_v in_o kind_n differ_v from_o that_o which_o bear_v the_o black_a pepper_n and_o yet_o be_v so_o like_a that_o no_o man_n can_v know_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o but_o they_o which_o do_v dwell_v there_o for_o say_v he_o they_o do_v so_o differ_v as_o the_o vine_n tree_n which_o bear_v the_o white_a grape_n do_v differ_v from_o that_o which_o yield_v the_o red_a grape_n and_o as_o we_o can_v know_v the_o difference_n of_o these_o vine_n tree_n but_o when_o the_o grape_n be_v ripe_a so_o we_o can_v discern_v the_o plant_n which_o yield_v the_o white_a pepper_n from_o that_o which_o bear_v the_o black_a pepper_n and_o yet_o say_v he_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o same_o tree_n which_o bring_v forth_o the_o black_a pepper_n do_v not_o yield_v the_o white_a pepper_n he_o say_v also_o that_o the_o white_a pepper_n tree_n be_v not_o so_o common_a in_o these_o country_n as_o the_o other_o be_v and_o that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o to_o be_v see_v but_o in_o certain_a place_n of_o malavar_n and_o malachae_n the_o same_o garcia_n write_v that_o the_o tree_n of_o which_o long_a pepper_n be_v gather_v do_v great_o differ_v from_o the_o other_o forename_a pepper_n tree_n and_o that_o long_a pepper_n be_v a_o fruit_n depend_v of_o the_o tree_n in_o like_a sort_n as_o we_o see_v thing_n to_o hang_v down_o in_o our_o hazel_n nut_n tree_n and_o in_o our_o birch_n tree_n and_o that_o this_o fruit_n will_v never_o yield_v either_o white_a or_o black_a pepper_n by_o this_o discourse_n we_o do_v understand_v that_o the_o pepper_n tree_n be_v not_o like_a to_o the_o juniper_n tree_n as_o pliny_n write_v in_o his_o 12._o book_n and_o garcia_n also_o say_v that_o the_o root_n of_o the_o pepper_n tree_n be_v very_o little_a so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o like_a to_o ginger_n as_o some_o believe_v in_o dioscorides_n time_n nor_o like_v to_o the_o root_n of_o costus_n as_o dioscorides_n write_v and_o hereby_o also_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o the_o old_a say_n be_v fabulous_a and_o untrue_a that_o pepper_n be_v make_v black_a with_o fire_n for_o the_o merchant_n which_o bring_v the_o pepper_v say_v that_o serpent_n and_o venomous_a beast_n do_v use_n much_o to_o be_v under_o these_o pepper_n tree_n and_o that_o they_o be_v drive_v to_o fray_v away_o those_o serpent_n with_o make_v fire_n under_o the_o tree_n before_o they_o dare_v gather_v the_o pepper_v and_o so_o the_o pepper_n be_v make_v black_a by_o the_o fire_n but_o now_o we_o learn_v by_o the_o history_n pen_v by_o the_o latter_a writer_n that_o all_o this_o be_v untrue_a and_o that_o black_a pepper_n be_v of_o that_o colour_n by_o his_o own_o kind_n when_o it_o be_v ripe_a and_o so_o that_o white_a pepper_n be_v of_o his_o own_o kind_n even_o of_o that_o colour_n when_o it_o be_v ripe_a as_o the_o red_a grape_n have_v that_o colour_n natural_o when_o it_o be_v ripe_a and_o the_o white_a grape_n keep_v his_o colour_n even_o to_o his_o full_a ripeness_n wherefore_o those_o writer_n be_v much_o deceive_v which_o affirm_v that_o white_a and_o black_a pepper_n be_v of_o one_o tree_n and_o that_o white_a pepper_n be_v the_o fruit_n not_o thorough_o ripe_a and_o that_o black_a pepper_n be_v the_o same_o perfect_o ripe_a for_o say_v they_o as_o in_o our_o country_n when_o we_o gather_v apple_n all_o of_o the_o same_o tree_n be_v not_o of_o like_a ripeness_n some_o not_o full_o ripe_a some_o full_a ripe_a some_o over_o ripe_a and_o all_o be_v gather_v at_o one_o time_n so_o say_v these_o man_n when_o the_o merchant_n do_v gather_v pepper_n some_o grain_n be_v thorough_o ripe_a and_o they_o black_a and_o wrinkle_a some_o not_o full_o ripe_a and_o they_o white_a in_o colour_n and_o smoothe_v not_o wrinkle_v but_o it_o appear_v by_o that_o which_o they_o have_v deliver_v to_o we_o which_o have_v see_v and_o gather_v both_o these_o kind_n of_o pepper_v that_o they_o be_v gather_v of_o several_a tree_n and_o that_o each_o do_v perfect_o ripe_a in_o his_o kind_n and_o each_o retain_v his_o colour_n the_o white_a grain_n when_o it_o be_v ripe_a keep_v the_o white_a colour_n and_o the_o black_a pepper_n when_o it_o be_v ripe_a keep_v his_o black_a colour_n even_o as_o the_o white_a grape_n be_v ripe_a remain_v white_a and_o the_o red_a grape_n red_a and_o yet_o each_o do_v come_v of_o several_a vine_n tree_n different_a in_o kind_n so_o we_o be_v to_o think_v of_o these_o kind_n of_o pepper_n that_o each_o do_v come_v of_o his_o proper_a tree_n and_o each_o full_a ripe_a retain_v his_o natural_a colour_n the_o white_a pepper_n his_o and_o the_o black_a his_o colour_n as_o do_v evident_o appear_v by_o that_o which_o garcia_n have_v write_v in_o his_o first_o book_n de_fw-fr aromat_fw-la indiae_n that_o the_o greek_a &_o ancient_a writer_n do_v err_v in_o express_v the_o history_n of_o these_o pepper_v it_o be_v no_o marvel_v for_o in_o that_o their_o country_n be_v far_o distant_a from_o the_o province_n from_o whence_o these_o pepper_v come_v that_o they_o themselves_o can_v not_o search_v out_o a_o truth_n but_o follow_v the_o report_n of_o merchant_n which_o tell_v many_o untruth_n they_o be_v easy_o deceive_v and_o so_o do_v set_v down_o in_o their_o book_n for_o verity_n many_o untrue_a relation_n of_o the_o merchant_n but_o that_o the_o arabian_n do_v commit_v the_o same_o error_n who_o country_n be_v not_o far_o distant_a from_o the_o place_n where_o pepper_n do_v grow_v their_o gross_a negligence_n in_o search_v the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o simples_n can_v not_o be_v excuse_v who_o will_v rather_o follow_v herein_o that_o which_o be_v write_v by_o the_o grecian_n than_o themselves_o search_v out_o a_o truth_n matthiolus_n in_o his_o commentary_n upon_o dioscorides_n witness_v that_o many_o pepper_n tree_n be_v set_v to_o be_v see_v at_o naples_n and_o at_o venice_n and_o diverse_a affirm_v that_o these_o tree_n be_v plant_v in_o diverse_a place_n in_o spain_n and_o in_o portugal_n but_o i_o can_v never_o understand_v that_o any_o pepper_n tree_n be_v at_o any_o time_n bring_v into_o england_n i_o have_v often_o see_v at_o pool_n in_o dorsetshire_n and_o

in_o which_o man_n common_o do_v seed_n upon_o gross_a and_o slimy_a meat_n and_o so_o do_v heap_n in_o the_o part_n of_o the_o belly_n and_o first_o vein_n many_o crude_a and_o gross_a humour_n that_o pepper_n ought_v in_o this_o region_n to_o be_v beat_v most_o gross_o that_o it_o may_v thereby_o be_v occasion_v to_o stay_v the_o long_o in_o the_o belly_n so_o to_o warm_v the_o same_o the_o

and_o spend_v that_o it_o will_v neither_o sufficient_o warm_v the_o belly_n neither_o in_o good_a sort_n concoct_v those_o crude_a and_o raw_a humour_n wherefore_o i_o do_v think_v it_o very_o needful_a for_o our_o apothecary_n to_o pound_n pepper_n always_o gross_o in_o the_o medicine_n diatrion_n pipereon_o for_o if_o we_o shall_v need_v withal_o to_o open_a obstruction_n we_o may_v
