as it hath once done with burning as much as it will it straight wayes causeth ytching to the intent that the place being scratched might swell the more Which ill wéede is not through this his dealing one waies hurtfull to a man but many waies Yet it hath in it saith Diascorides somewhat praise worthy for it is singuler so as it may be vsed to stench bloud Of Nightshade NIghtshade of the Egyptians is called Alleto in Greke Struchnos the Romaines cal it Batrachium some other Solanum His leafe is somewhat like Percelie Diascorides saith it helpeth the burning and inflation of the stomack With this the valiaunt Beggers and moste cunning in that their daylie craft craft it maye be well called and taken in the worst part doe make their flesh séeme rawe and rancored as often as they will to the intent men may pittie them the more and giue them the sooner their Almes whereas peraduenture they be as whole as lustie as those that haue pittie of them in verie déede But here we may perceiue there is a counterfayting almost in euerie thing They therefore to beguile men thus vse it With this they chafe their legges their armes and other partes also where they will till it blister and breake the s●inne hauing so done for a time it sheweth a meruelous ill looke And so I warrent you to that looke they for their partes can counterfaite as good In most places in England it is called Gold-knappe ●r yelowe Crace for the golden colour of his frute Of the Nut tree THe Nut tree may be called that very aptlie an iniurious vnquiet neighbour It hurteth the fruits next to him by all meanes both with his shadow with dropping ill teares or humors from out his leaues vpon them and also with his roote Insomuch that by al waies it vexeth and hindreth the next to him Isidore saith they may all generally and with one and the same name be called Nuts whose fruite is hid and kept vp in huske or shale As the walnut the Chestnut the Almond and the like Of the Nimphes tree THe Nymphes tree of the Gréekes is called Lotos it is of excéeding gret height very soft tender in barke In fruit it is like the Cherie as swéete and as smal also Cardane saith that Neptunes Daughter a Nymph fléeing from Priapus was turned into this trée and therevpon it had first his name There is an Herbe also of this name which the Poets imagin and faigne that whosoeuer eateth thereof shall so be in attendance vpon Venus and vppon hir Court Ladies that he shall not be able to moue from the place where he so tarieth or resteth in Of the Oliue tree THe Oliue is a kinde of tree had in muche price amongest the Auncients for his peasible and concordant nature Insomuch that the olde Romaines as in their Histories and Chronicles doth appeare were neuer woont to send their Legates or Embassadours eyther to aske and require peace or else to offer and proclaime peace with their outward enimies wtout smal braūches hereof borne in their hands Remigius saith it is for a token of signe or attonement and couenant made betweene God and man As then especially when as the Doue fléeing forth of Noe his Arke fetched first and formost to him a small twig hereof Plinie sayth in his .xv. booke that the valiant and noblest vanquishers in the Citie of Athens in olde time were honoured and crowned with the Oliue The same Authour also recordeth that there be diuers kindes hereof There is also a certaine iuice of this Oliue as Isidore saith which the more new and fresh that it is the better it is There is also the wilde Oliue like to the other but that it hath a more broade Leafe Of the Oke THe Oke is

a trée inleaf like to the Almond trée but at the end somewhat more sharpe In flower it is like the Rose and beareth fruite with shale as the Almonde within his shale are fat and full seedes as soft to féele to as purple silk His leaf or lint of flower being eaten of cattaile is their cause of death Of the Onyon THe Onyon hath al his strenght and manner of working in his roote or head therefore it is called Cepa in Latin for that all his profit is placed in the head At one yeres growth it taketh no great proufe neither doth it séeme to ryot vntill suche time as it is plentifull in yéelding séede Of Orchanet or wilde Buglosse ORchanet of the Romaines Gréekes is called Anchusa Some of our countriemen translate it wilde Buglosse It hath his leafe sharp set and thornie This roote saith Diasco hath that kind of iuice that being wroong out dieth in a manner a sanguine colour Of the Orenge tree THe Orenge tree wherof Mantuā so much maketh mention of in his Eglogs is first reported to be brought from the Medes wherof is thought to arise this Latine worde Malus Medica The Gréekes call it Kédromela for that his fruite is in smell not much vnlike to the Ceder The Orenge sayth Diascorides helpeth and remedieth all venome And so the Poet meaneth whereas he sayth And hereof is the soules best nourishment This trée is at all seasons of the yeare fruit bearing or fruitfull insomuch that it is neuer found without fruit but after a diuers sort in their ●ualitie maner for when the first of their fruit is mellow and readie ripe then the second you shall espie gréene and sower and the thirde newe blosoming and in flower So that as the first is plucked off the residue one after another hasten to rypenesse the first to the thirde hys poynt the thirde to the seconde and

Of Aegraton or good old Herb. AGeraton hath one and the selfe same name both with the Gréekes and Latines and is a small shrub verie full of yong shoutes and slips It is like Origan or Marigolde hath his flower alike coloured as saith Diascorides It may be thought that it hath that name for that it preserueth a great time without losse of his vertue or not being otherwise hindered by sicknesse and age Of Agarick AGarick as sayth Diascorides hath both Male and Female and is in efficacie or effect such that it maye be applyed to all sicknesses such as the sick person must paciently abide whether that it be vsed with water or wine in which sort it is most commonly ministred Of Agrimonie AGrimonie of Mesues is named Maudlen the Latine worde is Eupatorium It is a short shrub of no great or iust height It hath his leafe parted as it were fiue portioned The decoction hereof saith Diascorides or his poulder dried is an excellent remedie against the oppilacion of the Liuer Splene by reason of fleume and is taken either the Herbe it selfe alone or else sodden among with Wine Of Annet or Dill. ANnet or Dill is an Herbe whose seede as Diascorides sayth may be kept by the space of thrée whole yeares next after it is gathered without losse in any point of his operation Of Anise ANise hath the like vertue that Dill hath but in sauour and tast it is more pleasant and sweete It commendeth vnto vs the good breath and swéete and bewraieth the cōtrarie Of the Apple tree THe Apple tree is of good sounde bodie of wrinckled barck and in outward Cote very full of knots In flowers at the spring time verie beautifull in swéetenesse of fruite in the Autumne almost not comparable in fruit and encrease verie wonderfull and vnder this one name it hath infinite kindes Plinie sayth that vnlesse it be often cropped and rid of superfluous and troublesome boughes it will soone war barraine and leaue off fruit bearing The same Author sayth also that the fruites hereof must be gathered in faire weather vnlesse that they being laid vp with outward plentie of accidentall and airie humor doe by and by rot he monisheth also that they be gathered before they be full ripe for their better goodnesse than being preserued Of Artichoke ARtichoke the wilde most commenly called the Thistle is an Herbe wrought and fashioned on euerie side in maner of a sting or Spearelike and hath in the top of his stalke or stem a certaine heade wherein his seede lyeth It flourisheth and liketh best in those places that be least frequented or nothing looked to Of the Balme tree THe Balme tree is rather a kinde of shrub then a Trée and may well be counted of that house for his lowe and humile kinde of growth for it heightneth neuer aboue two cubites The Timber hereof is called in Gréeke Xulobalsamon his fruite or séede Karpobalsamon the iuice is called Vpobalsamon bicause the bark of this Tree must first be stricken and hewen with Iron wedges before it yeeldeth any fruit whereby it being so wounded by and by droppeth and distilleth a certaine humor in a maner tearlike which humor thus issued through the coldenesse or other affection of the Aire about it drieth to a kinde of Gum. Plinie preferreth this his smell before all smelles But herein good heed must be taken least we match and march with the greeke Sophister And the same Plinie sayth as also Theophrast doth that it onely groweth in a certaine Dale and Ualie of Siria which Ualie hath his whole compasse in a maner in two onely Groaues and hath bene the possession of long time of two sundrie and seuerall Princes Whereof the greater was supposed to be in contents .xx.
