red_a sorrel_n i_o mean_v that_o which_o be_v show_v to_o i_o at_o bremen_n by_o the_o dutch_a gardener_n which_o be_v of_o the_o same_o size_n but_o the_o leave_n of_o that_o of_o spitzbergen_n be_v

grow_v some_o plant_n for_o the_o nourishment_n both_o of_o man_n and_o beast_n the_o herb_n grow_v of_o their_o perfection_n in_o a_o short_a time_n for_o in_o june_n when_o we_o first_o arrive_v at_o spitzbergen_n we_o see_v but_o very_o little_a green_n and_o yet_o in_o july_n most_o of_o they_o be_v in_o flower_n and_o some_o of_o they_o have_v their_o seed_n already_o ripe_a whence_o i_o

of_o a_o plant_n with_o aloe-leaves_a it_o be_v a_o very_a pretty_a herb_n and_o put_v forth_o thick_a prickly_a and_o sad_a green_a leave_n like_o those_o of_o aloe_n a_o brown_a naked_a stalk_v about_o half_a the_o length_n of_o your_o finger_n whereon_o hang_v round_a head_n of_o flesh-coloured_n flower_n in_o bunch_n which_o be_v hardly_o to_o be_v discern_v by_o the_o naked_a eye_n one_o

each_o stalk_v have_v two_o of_o these_o bunch_n of_o flower_n i_o can_v not_o delineate_v its_o seed_n for_o want_v of_o time_n the_o root_n consist_v of_o many_o small_a fiber_n we_o gather_v it_o in_o great_a plenty_n on_o the_o 17_o the_o of_o july_n behind_o the_o cookery_n of_o harlem_n in_o the_o run_a water_n i_o know_v not_o well_o to_o what_o kind_n this_o may_v be_v refer_v caspar_n bauhim_n make_v mention_n of_o a_o herb_n in_o his_o prodromus_n of_o his_o amphitheatre_n of_o plant_n in_o the_o 5_o the_o book_n and_o 15_o the_o chapter_n which_o he_o call_v limonium_fw-la
