^f The Temperature. 



Ivie,as Galen faith, is compounded of contrarie faculties • for it hath a certaine binding eartbj 

 and cold fubftance,and alfo a fubftance fomewhat biting, which enen the very tafte doth ftewto 

 be hot. Neither is it without a third faculty, as being of a certaine warme watery fubftance,and 

 that is if it be greene : for whileft it is in drying, this watery fubftance being earthy, cold, and bla- 

 ding confumeth away 3 and that which is hot and biting remaineth.
