The firft groweth naturally in divers places of this Land, and is cith 
fore ealled Englith Worm-(eed, becaufe it is proper to our Country + or ain 
becaufe our Country folks do make ufe of it tor the Wormes, to which “8 
they bring ic into their Gardens, where being once fowed, they are for ever fur- 
nifhed. The fecond is naturall co fome places of Italy, yet in others, they fow-it 
in their Gardens for pleafure, as we do, and in their fields alfo, for the profit 
that is made of the feed, and che oyl that is preffed therefrom. The third is 
common in Germany, in all theirflax grounds almoft. The fourth groweth in 
the fandy, grounds about Bafil. The fift by Padoa, on the Exgonean Hills, The 
two laft by Mompelier. They all flower in the fummier Months, and their feed

The Vertues. 
Th refufe our Englifh Worm-feed,and prefer that which is brought 
out hosehines Countryes, becaufe it is not alcogechit fo bitter and unplea- 
fant as ours is, yet doubrleffe it is as effe&tuall, if not more, to kill the Wormes 
in Children, yea,and in elder perfonsalfo ; the feed being a little bruifed and 
given in drink, orany other way, and this is che chief, if not the only ufé thacit 
is putto. The Oy]! of the feed of Myagrum, or Gold of Pleafure ferveth, as Dj- 
corides faith, to make {mooth the skin that is chapt, or rugged in any part of 
¢ Body ; and as Pliny, and others fay,t~ cure the Ulcers of the mouth, if jt be 
therewith anointed but the more vulgar ufe of it in Germany, and other places 
_o 
where itis very plentifull, isto ferve the poore for their Tables; and therich. — 
er fort for their 3as alfo to'make fope, being compounded with a certain 
lye, made of afhes. The {aid oyl is very like unto the true oyl of Sefamum,being 
hot and thirft, ificbe drunk, asthe otherdoth, andthereforemaybe 
ufed for the fame ends and purpofes. The wild gold of Pleafure, isin quality 
fomewhat like unto the former, but bitterer, yea fo bitter,whilft it is green,that 
no Creature will raft thereof Beer ripe and dry, it becometh {fo acceptae, 
ble to {mall birds, as Linnets, Finches, andthe like to feed upon, that nothing 
canbe more. The other forts arenot knowne to be ufed toany pur porhing - ;
