^j The Names, 



It is called in Greeke *a«»f, %^a 'forum : in Latine, Tiardus rujtica : and of diuers, Perpenfa : Perpenfa 

 UiKo Baccharis in Plmyjil. 2 1 .cap. 2 1 .Macer faith, That A forum is called Vulgagofa. thefe words t 



EftAf* 



y^ifaron do the Grecians name 



Wheieas the Latines Vulgago clepe the lame. **^ 



It is found alfoamongft the baftard names, that it was called of the great learned Philofophers 

 •m *,.,: that is, Martis fanguispx thebloud of Mars: and ofthe French meDjBaccar. and thereupon 

 it feemetb that the word Ajarahacca came, which the A pothecaries vfe, and likewife the common 

 people : but there is another Baccharis differing from Afarum i yet notwithstanding Crotcu* doth al- 



lOQiW B acchar is y AJarum. J 



, TJ Jjsconfufion of both the names hath been the caufe,that moft could not fufficiently expound 

 tncmlclues concerning <^ifarum and Baccharis . and that many things haue been written amifle in 

 many copies otDitfcmies, in the chapter of Alarum : for when it is fet downe in the Greeke copies 

 « i*eet fmellwg garden herbe,it belongeth not to the defcription of this AfarumMt to that of 

 Mvcbtrst; for Afarum (as Plinj faith) is fo called, becaufe it is not out into ffatlands 1 and f« h« 



">pted and confufed 



of the old Writers were found
