and the Stone Some report that these were the Thorns our Blessed Saviour was crown'd with in Contempt by the Unbelieving Jews just before his Crucifiction Mastick Thyme in Latin Marum It grows in many Places in Spain By reason of its curious Smell it is kept in Gardens in England France and Germany One Dram of the Bark of it is a present Remedy for desperate Obstructions of the Courses being taken in Rough Wine every Morning Turbith It purgeth Flegm and clammy Humours that fall on the Joints 'T is good in the Dropsie for it purges Watery Humours 'T is brought to us from Guzaratta Turmerick in Latin Curcuma The Dutch boyl it with Fish for it gives it a good Taste and colours it yellow 'T is besides an excellent Remedy for Obstructions of the Bowels viz. of the Lungs Liver and Spleen and also of the Mesaraick Veins and for Nephritick Pains 'T is also very good for the Stone in the Kidnies and Bladder It also opens Women's Obstructions and hastens Delivery But it is peculiarly good for curing of the Jaundice In short This Root is reckon'd the best of all Medicines for opening Obstructions The People of China use it in Sneezing-powders like the Roots of White Hellebore And they make an Ointment with this Root and the Powder of Sanders and some sweet Flowers wherewith the Men and Women anoint their Bodies all over And tho' this may seem very odd to those that are unaccustom'd to it by reason of the yellow Colour yet it secures them very well from the Heat of the Sun and Feverish Heats and from the vexatious Biting of Flies and Gnats Take of the Roots of Turmerick and Madder each one Ounce of the Greater Celandine-Root and Herb of the Tops of the Lesser Centory each one Handful boyl them in equal Parts of Rhenish-wine and Fountain-water to a Quart in the strain'd Liquor dissolve two Ounces of the Syrup of the five Opening Roots give half a Pint Morning and Evening hot till the Patient recovers of the Jaundice but Vomiting or Purging must be first used V. VIne in Latin Vitis It does not deserve the Name of a Tree because it cannot stand by it self There is as great Variety of them as of Pears and Apples Currents that are called Corinthian do not grow now about Corinth for the Inhabitants are not encourag'd to plant or to take care of them there being now no Sale for them the Turks having shut up the Passage and not suffering any great Ships to go thither they come now from Zant and many other Places The Raisins of the Sun are very large Grapes and in form like a Spanish Olive They dry them after this manner They cut cross-ways to the Middle the Branches they design for this use and so they intercept a good part of the Nutritious Juice that should come to the Grapes they let the Branches hang half cut upon the Vine till they are dried by degrees partly by the Heat of the Sun and partly for want of Nourishment Vines grow best in an hot Country and the hotter the Country is if it be not too hot the sooner the Grapes are ripe There are great quantities of excellent Wine in Spain Italy Sicily and some Parts of France They usually climb up on Trees as upon the Elm and the Poplar In Lombardy they plant them in the Corn-Fields so near Trees that they may climb up on them and so they have Corn Wine and Wood in the same Fields The Leaves and Tendrels of the Vine bruis'd and applied ease the Pain of the Head and take off Inflammations and Heat off the Stomach The Tear of the Vine which is like a Gum but it does not grow on our Vines taken in Wine is good for the Stone The Ashes of the Tendrels mix'd with Vinegar cure a Condyloma and is good for the Biting of Vipers and Inflammations of the Spleen 'T is to little purpose to mention the Virtues of Wine for there is scarce any one that is ignorant of them The Wine called Setinum was most esteem'd by the Ancients The Wines that are most esteem'd amongst us are the Claret-Wine Burgundy-Wine common White-Wine Frontiniack Hermitage and Champaign These come from France The following from Spain Canary-Sack Malaga-Sack Sherry-Sack Alicant-Wine and Port-o-Port From the Island of Crete is brought Red Muscadine From Germany Rhenish Wine Wine is wholsomer than Beer Mead or Cyder and indeed than any other Liquor Now-a-days Rough Wines tho' they are not so pleasing to the Palate are counted better for the Stomach and to help Concoction as Claret and Florentine-Wine Baccius wrote an excellent Book in the Year 1596. of the several sorts of Wines it was printed at Rome and is indeed worth perusing wherein is contain'd all that has been wrote of the Grape by Ancient and Modern Writers together with Observations of his own about Greek Italian Spanish French and Rhenish-Wines with the Ways of making them their Diseases and Remedies Omphaciun is the unripe Juice of the Grape strain'd and kept in a Vessel close stop'd It cools and dries It is not only used in Physick but also with Food in Sauces It takes off Nauseousness excites Appetite stops the Flux of the Belly and mitigates the Heat of the Stomach and Bowels being taken inwardly And outwardly applied it clears the Sight as also does Wild Apples and cleanses them from Filth 'T is better for all hot Diseases than Vinegar Sapa is New Wine boyl'd to the Consumption of a third part Defrutum is New Wine boyl'd to the Consumption of half Distillation of Wine into Brandy is made in the following manner Fill with Wine half a large Copper Body cover it with its Moor's-head border'd with its Refrigeratory and fit to it a Receiver lute well the Junctures with a wet Bladder and distil with a gentle Fire about a quarter of the Liquor or else until the Liquor which distils does not burn when the Fire is put to it that which is in the Receiver is called Brandy Brandy may be drawn from all sorts of Wines but more of it may be drawn in some Countries than in others For Example The Wines that are made about Orleans and Paris do yield more Brandy than many others which seem to be stronger and the Reason is because those Wines that appear stronger are loaded with a great deal of Tartar which fixes their Spirits whereas the other containing but a convenient Portion of this Tartar do leave their Spirits at greater liberty When Wine has been drunk there is made a Separation of Spirits in the Body much resembling that which is made by Distillation for the Heat of the Bowels warming it causes the Spirituous Parts to spread on all Sides through the Pores and some part of them to mix with the Blood and rarefie it from whence it comes to rejoyce the Heart and increase the Vigour of the whole Body but because these Spirits do always tend upwards the greatest part flies

in each Cloth to put the powder'd Cloves into set a small Earthen Cup upon each Glass of these Cloves let it stop so ●●●ly that it may suffer no Air to enter between its Brim and that of the Glass fill the Cups with hot Ashes to warm the Cloves and distil down to the bottom of the Glasses first a little Flegm and Spirit and after that a clear and white Oyl continue the Fire until there falls no more separate the Oyl in a Tunnel lined with a Cornet of Brown Paper and keep it in a Viol well stop'd Some Drops of it are with Cotton put into aching Teeth 'T is likewise good in Malignant Fevers and the Plague The Dose is two or three Drops in Balm-water or some appropriate Liquor You must mix it with a little Sugar-candy or a little Yolk of an Egg before you drop it into the Water otherwise it will not dissolve in the Water I have given you this Preparation to serve upon an Emergency when you want in haste the Oyl of Cloves You must only use hot Ashes to warm the Cloves if you desire White Oyl for if you give a greater Heat the Oyl turns red and besides a great part of it will be lost You must also take care to lift up the Cup from time to time to stir about the Powder Some do dissolve Opium in Oyl of Cloves and use this Dissolution for the Tooth-ach they put one Drop of it into the aching Tooth and it soon takes off the Pain The Spirit of Cloves which is made at the same time the Oyl is made is a good Stomachick It helps Concoction comforts the Heart and increases Seed The Dose is from six Drops to twenty in some convenient Liquor Cloves grow spontaneously in the Moloca-Islands Those that are good are black solid and weighty smell well are hard to break and bite the Tongue much and when they are broken their Liquor sweats out They may be kept five Years in a temperate place Coccus Baphica See Kermes Cockle in Latin Pseudomelanthium It grows every where amongst Corn and Flowers in June and July It cures the Itch and heals Wounds ann Fistula's and stops Blood But the Virtues of it are doubted by some Yet Sennertus commends it in Stopping of Bleeding Coco-Nut-tree in Latin Palma Coccifera A Liquor is drawn from this Tree called Suri which intoxicates like Wine It hath a pleasant sweet Taste An hot Water or Spirit is drawn from it by Distillation Sugar also and Vinegar is made of it Fine polish'd Cups tip'd with Silver are made of the Bark of it The Liquor or Wine is very good for Consumptions and excellent for Diseases of the Urine and Reins A Milk is drawn from the Kernels beat and press'd without the help of Fire which is very good for killing Worms eight Ounces of it being taken in a Morning with a little Salt The Liquor contain'd in the Kernel extinguishes Thirst cures Fevers clenses the Eyes and the Skin purifies the Blood purges the Stomach and Urinary Passages relieves the Breast tastes pleasantly and yields a great Nourishment 'T is said of it that it is Meat Drink and Cloth Chocolet is made of it It grows in the Spanish West-Indies and laste an hundred Years Coculus Indus 'T is uncertain where these Berries grow but the chief use of them is for catching Fish a Paste being made for them of White Flower and the Powder of the Berries For the Fish by eating of this Paste become giddy and stupid and so are easily taken But it is questionable whether Fish so taken may be safely eaten perhaps if they are gutted as soon as they are taken and boyl'd they may be eaten without hurt A Person who went to buy Cubebs of an Apothecary had these Berries deliver'd to him by a Mistake and when he had taken not above four of them he was presently seiz'd with a Vomiting the Hiccups and Faintness But a Vomit being presently given him he recover'd within an Hour Coffee in Latin Caova The Decoction of it strengthens a cold Stomach helps Concoction and opens Obstructions of the Bowels and is good for cold Tumors of the Liver and Spleen It heats the Womb and frees it from Obstructions Upon which Account the Egyptian and Arabian Women use it frequently But it is most taken notice of for removing Drowsiness But tho it be so commonly used and so very proper and effectual in some Cases yet in other Cases perhaps it may be hurtful or at least not so beneficial For it is commonly observ'd that Coffee-drinkers are often very lean and become Paralitick and impotent as to Venery But indeed in most Diseases of the Head as for Giddiness Head-aches Lethargies Catarrhs and the like Coffee is often used with good Success by those that are of a gross Habit of Body and of a cold Constitution and whose Blood is watery their Brains moist and their Animal Spirits dull for being taken daily it wonderfully clears the Spirits and dissipates those Clouds of all the Functions But on the contrary they who are of a thin Habit of Body and an hot and melancholy Constitution ought by all means to forbear Coffee And besides those that have but weak Spirits or are subject to a Trembling or Numness of the Limbs ought not to drink Coffee tho' they are afflicted with the Head-ach Nor ought they who are subject to the Palpitation of the Heart 'T is reckon'd good in a Scorbutick Gout and for the Gravel The Goodness of Coffee chiefly depends on the exact roasting of it Bernier says there were only two Men that knew how to roast them right in Grand Cayro For few know the manner and degree of Torrifaction for if they are never so little over or under-roasted they are spoyled Coffee is adulterated with burnt Crusts of Bread roasted Beans and the like 'T is commonly boyl'd in Copper or Tin-Pots but Ear●hen are best for it for it is probable that Metals too often impart something of their Substance to the Liquor It hath been observ'd that upon Distillation a Pound of good clean Coffee the Vessels being well luted hath yielded four Ounces and an half of Flegm with a little Volatile Spirit mix'd with Salt and two Ounces and five Drams of a thick black Oyl which being rectified became yellow the Caput mortuum weighed about four Ounces so that about a fourth part evaporated notwithstanding the Vessels were so closely cemented Upon which we may reasonably conjecture that Coffee contains many Particles that are Volatile and Penetrative whereby it is probable it keeps Men waking Many that have been very subject to Nephritick Pains have been cured by taking Coffee often Women use it to cleanse the Teeth One that was seiz'd with a violent Cholera and painful Convulsions from an Internal Cause was cured in a short time by taking a great quantity of Coffee which was retain'd in the Stomach when the Tincture of Opium Mint-water and the like were
