^ The Nature And Vertues, 



There is no vfe of this herbe either in Phy- 

 ficke or Surgerie,that I can reade of j which

 perfifted vnto this day, attributing xntoCinjta 

 the vertues olcMAndragoraity which meanes 

 there hath not any thing beene faid of the true 

 Circs*, by reafon, as I haue faid, that Mandra. 

 gorathith beene called o>c,«4: but doubtleiTe

 may ferue in ftead thereof without error.
