Culpeper.| These be the roots the college 
hath named, and but only named, and in 
this order I have set them down. It seems 
the college holds a strange opinion, viz. 
That it would do an Englishman a mischief 
to know what the herbs in his garden are 
good for. 
But my opinion is, that those herbs, roots, 
plants, &c. which grow near a man, are far 
better and more congruous to his nature 
than any outlandish rubbish whatsoever, 
and this I am able to give a reason of to 
any that shall demand it of me, therefore 
I am so copious in handling of them, you 
| shall observe them ranked in this order.
