The Verities. 



Tin- true Tyme is a tneciall helpe to melancholicke and f plencticke dif- 

 eafes, as alfo to flatulent humours, either in the vpper or lower parts of the 

 body. The oyle that is Chimically drawne out of ordinary Tyme, is vfed 

 (as the whole herbe is, in the Itead of the true) in pils for the head and fto- 

 inach. It is allo much vfed for the toothach, as many other fuch like hot 

 oyles are. 



CHAP. CXXXII. 

 Hy/opus. Hyflbpe. 



THcre are many varieties of Hyflbpe, befide the common or ordinary, which 

 I referue for the Kitchen garden, and intend onely in this place to giue you 

 the knowledge of fome more rare : viz. of fuch as are nourfed vp by thofe 

 that are curious, and fit for this garden : for there are fome other, that muft be remem- 

 bred in the Phyficke garden, or Garden of Simples, or elfe in a generall worke. 



i. HyJJopus folijs niueis. White Hyflbpe. 



This white Hyflbpe is of the fame kinde and fmell with the common Hyflbpe ; but 

 differeth, in that this many times hath diuers leaues, that are wholly of a white co- 

 lour, with part of the ftalke alfo : others are parted, the one halfe white, the other halfe 

 greene, and fome are wholly greene, or with fome fpots or ftripes of white within the 

 greene, which makes it delightfull to moft Gentlewomen. 



2. HyJJopm folij s cinereis. Ruflet Hyflbpe. 



As the lafl hath party coloured leaues, white and greene, fo this hath his leaues of 

 an alli-colour, which of fome is called ruffet ; and hath no other difference either in 

 forme or fmell. 



3. HyJ/opus aureus. Yellow or golden Hyflbpe. 



All the leaues of this Hyflbpe are wholly yellow, or but a little greene in them, and 

 are of fo pleafant a colour, efpecially in Summer, that they prouoke many Gentlewo- 

 men to weare them in their heads, and on their armes, with as much delight as many 

 fine flowers can giue : but in Winter their beautifull colour is much decayed, being of 

 a whitifh greene, yet recouer themfelues againe the next Summer.

4. Hyjfopus Jure ulis dtnfis. Double Hyflbpe. 



As this kinde of Hyflbpe groweth lower then the former or ordinary kinde, fo it 

 th more branches, flenderer, and not fo wooddy, leaning fomewhat downe toward 

 the ground, fo wonderfully thicke fet with leaues, that are like vnto the other, but of a 

 darker greene colour, and fomewhat thicker withall, that it is the onely fine fweete 

 herbe, that I know fitted (if any be minded to plant herbes) to fet or border a knot of 

 herbes or flowers, becaufe it will well abide, and not growe too wooddy or great, nor 

 be thinne of leaues in one part, when it is thicke in another, fo that it may be kept with 

 cutting as fmooth and plaine as a table. It it be fuffered to growe vp of it felfe alone, 

 it rifeth with leaues as before is fpecified, and flowreth as the common doth, and of 

 the fame fent alfo, not differing in any thing, but in the thicknefle of the leaues on the 

 ftalkes and branches, and the aptnefle to be ordered as the keeper pleafeth.
