The greater Lentil groweth about two foot long with many hard yet slender and weak branches from whence at several places shoot forth long stalks of small winged leaves many on each side of a middle rib which middle rib endeth in a small clasper between the leaves and the stalks come the flowers which are small of a sad reddish purplish colour almost like the flowers of Vetches they stand for the most part two at the end of a long footstalk after the flowers are gone there succeed small short flat Cods wherein is flat round smooth seed of a pale yellowish Ash-colour the root is fibrous and dyeth every winter 2.

it in the broth of a chicken tyed up in Linnen cloth and to take from a quarter to half an ounce or more at a time as the quantity of drink o● broth is or as the party can bear Cinnamon and Cassia Lignea Descript THe Cinnamon-tree is described to be a great Tree about the bigness of the Olive-tree with many straight branches without knots covered with a double bark like the Cork whose inner rind is to Cinnamon and is so barked every third year and being cut in long peeces o● if it were the bark of the whole tree is cast on the ground wherein dry it it is rouled together as we see it and is better or worse blacker or bette● coloured by the greater or lesser heat of the Sun the leaves are of a fres● green colour like those of the Cittron-tree the flowers are white and the fruit black and round like hasel-nuts or small Olives the best groweth in Zeland having leaves like Willowes and fruit like unto bay-berries whereof there is made an oyl As concerning the Cassia several Authors do write that Cinnamon and Cassia is one and the same tree and that the variety and difference of the Soyl where they grow makes the difference onely but we daily see that the Cassia which cometh to us is the bark of a tree and either roul'd together like Cinnamon or not roul'd but in small or great smooth peeces and therefore may be conceived to be a sort of Cinnamon yet the tast being Glutinous lesse sharp and quick and more stiptick then Cinnamon argueth it to be the bark of another sort of tree although of the same kind and nature Pliny lib. 12 cap. 29. saith that Cassia which groweth where Cinnamon doth is a shrub of three cubits high but on the hills whose thick branches have their bark unto leather which must be emptied or hollowed in a contrary manner unto that of Cinnamon for being cut into sticks of two cubits long they are sewed into fresh beasts skins that the worms may eat out the wood and leave the bark whole by reason of the sharpness and bitterness the three sorts of colour therein sheweth their goodness That which is white for a foot high next the ground is the worst the next thereunto for half a foot is reddish which is next in goodness from thence upward which is blackish and the best and is to be chosen fresh of a mild scent and of a very sharp tast rather than biting of a purplish colour light in waight and with a short pipe not easily broken so that we may see plainly that Cassia differeth not much from Cinnamon and yet that it is differing from it Government and Virtues Cinnamon is under the dominion of Jupiter it is of temperature hot and dry in the second degree of very subtile parts and very Aromatical it is very Cordial it comforteth the Heart and strengthneth a weak Stomack Heart stomack it easeth the pains of the Cholick Cholick

put into the passage or Cavern that a Mole Moles hath made it will either drive them forth or kill them in their holes The marsh Elder is of the same purging quality with the former or common Elder especially the berries or the juice of them Hens and Birds do feed upon them willingly in the Winter The Danewort Walwort or Dwarff-Elder is in operation more forceable or powerful than the Elder in
