600 The Corollarie to this Orchard. 



The Vfe of the Pine apples and kernels. 



The Cones or Apples are vfed of diuers Vintners in this City, being 

 painted, to exprefTe a bunch of grapes, whereunto they are very like, and 

 are hung vp in their bufh.es, as alfo to faften keyes vnto them, as is feene in 

 many places. 



The kernels within the hard fhels, while they are frefh or newly taken 

 out, are vfed many waies, both with Apothecaries, Comfit-makers, and 

 Cookes : for of them are made medicines, good to lenifie the pipes and 

 paflages of the lungs and throate, when it is hoarfe. Of them are made 

 Comfits, Paftes, Marchpanes, and diuers other fuch like: And with them 

 a cunning Cooke can make diuers Keck fhofes for his Mafters table. 



Matthiolus commendeth the water of the greene apples diftilled, to take 

 away the wrinkles in the face, to abate the ouer-fwelling breafts of Mai- 

 dens, by fomenting them after with linnen clothes, wet in the water ; and to 

 reftore fuch as are rauifht into better termes. 



4. Abies, The Firre tree. 



Firre tree groweth naturally higher then any other tree in thefe parts of 

 J Chriftendome where no Cedars grow, and euen equalling or ouer-topping 

 ^ the Pine : the ftemme or bodie is bare without branches for a great height, if 

 they bee elder trees, and then branching forth at one place of the bodie foure wayes in 

 manner of a croffe, thofe boughes againe hauing two branches at euery ioynt, on which 

 are fet on all lides very thicke together many fmall narrow long hard whitifh greene 

 leaues, and while they are young tending to yellownefle, but nothing fo long or hard 

 or fliarpe pointed as the Pine tree leaues, growing fmaller and fhorter to the end of the 

 branches : the bloomings are certaine fmall long fcaly catkins, of a yellowifh colour, 

 comming forth at the ioynts of the branches, which fall away : the cones are fmaller 

 and longer then of the Pine tree, wherein are fmall three fquare feede contained, not 

 halfe fo big as the Pine .kernels. 



The Vfe of the Firre tree. 



The vfe of this tree is growne with vs of late daies to bee more frequent for the 

 building of houfes then euer before : for hereof (namely of Deale timber and Deale 

 boords) are framed many houfes, and their floores, without the helpe of any other tim- 

 ber or boord of any other tree almoft ; as alfo for many other workes and purpofes. 

 The yellow Roflen that is vfed as well to make falues as for many other common vfes, 

 is taken from this tree, as the Pitch is both from the Pitch and Pine trees, and is boyled 

 to make it to bee hard, but was at the firft a yellow thin cleere Turpentine, and is that 

 beft fort of common Turpentine is altogether in vfe with vs, as alfo another more 

 thicke, whitifh, and troubled, both which are vfed in falues, both for man and beaft 

 (but not inwardly as the eleere white Venice Turpentine is) and ferueth both to draw, 

 cleanfe and heale. Dodonaeus feemeth to fay, that the cleere white Turpentine, called 

 Venice Turpentine, is drawn from the Firre : but Matthiolus confuteth that opinion, 

 which Fulfius alfo held before him. 



5. Ilex arbor. The euer-greene Oake. 



THe Ilex or euer-greene Oake rifeth in time to be a very great tree, but very long 

 and flow in growing (as is to be feene in the Kings priuy Garden at Whitehall, 

 growing iuft againft the backe gate that openeth into the way going to Weft- 

 minfter, and in fome other places) fpreading many fair large great armes and branches, 

 whereon are fet fmall and hard greene leaues, fomewhat endented or cornered, and 



prickly
