gfTOwn hot, shjLrp, and p&inful in the pavags ; it it good 

 to expel the stone and gravel out of the reins, kidneji, 

 and bladder, helping to dissolve the etone, and voiding 

 it by ^it or gravel sent forth in the urine : it also help* 

 eth much to cleanse inward imposthumes or ulcers in tht 

 reins or bladder, or those that void a bloodj or foul urine , 

 the distilled water of the fruit, or the leAvee with them, 

 or the berries green or dry, distilled with a little milk 

 and drank morning and evening with a little sugar is ef- 

 fectual to all the purposes before specified, and especially 

 against the heat and sharpness oi the urinal. I shall 

 mention one way amongst many others which might be 

 used for ordering the berries, to be helpful for the urine 

 and the stone, which is this: — take three or four good 

 handfuls of the berries, either green, or fresh, or diried, 

 and having bruised them, put them into so many gallons 

 of beer or ale when it is new and tunned up : tnis drink 

 taken daily hath been found to do much good to many, 

 both to ease the pains and expel urine and the stone, aad 

 to cause the stone not to engender : the decoction of the 

 berries in wine and water is the most usual way, but the 

 powder of them taken in drink is more effectual

 a Httle above half a foot high, bearing white flowers in 

 •piked tufts, which turn into Ions and round seeds pointed 

 at the enda, aud blackish when they are ripe ; of a sweet 

 taste but no smell, though the herb itself smelleth reason- 

 ably well : the root is small and long, and perisheth eveiy 

 year, and must be sown, in spring for seed, and after 

 July for autumn salad. 



The wild chervil ^weth two or three feet high, with 

 yellow stalks and joints, set with broader and more hairy 

 leaves divided into sundry parts, nicked about the edges, 

 and of a dark green colour, which likewise grow reddish 

 with the stalks : at the tops whereof stand small white
