There is another sort of Fluellein which has longer 

 branchee wholly trailing upon the ground, two or three 

 feet long, and somewhat more thin, set with leaves thereon, 

 upon small foot-stalks. The leaves are a little larger, 

 somewhat round, and cornered sometimes in some places 

 on the edges ; but the lower part of them being the 

 broadest, has on each side a small point, making it seem 

 as if they were ears, sometimes hairy, but not hoary, and 

 of a better green colour than the former. The flowers 

 come forth like the former, but the colours therein are 

 more white than yellow, and the purple not so far : it is a 

 large flower, and so are the seed and seed-vessela The 

 root is like the other, and perishes ever year. 



Place. — They grow in divers corn-fields, and in borders 

 about them, and abundantly in other fertile grounds 

 about Southdeet in Kent ; at Buchrite, Hamerton, and 

 Rick nmns worth in Huntingdonshire, and in divers other 

 places. 



rtm«.— They are in flower about June and July, and 

 the whole plaint is dry and withered before August is 

 over. 



Oavemment and Virtues, — It is a Lunar herb. The 

 leaves bruised and applied with barley-meal to watering 

 eyes, that are hot and inflamed by defluxions from the 

 head, very much help them ; as also the fluxes of blood 

 or humours, as the lax, bloody-flux, women's courses, and 

 stay all manner of bleeding at nose, mouth, or any other 

 place, or that comes by any bruise or hurt, or bursting a 

 vein : it wonderfully helps all those inward Darts that 

 need consoUdating or strengthening ; and is no less effec- 

 tual both to heal and close green pounds, than to cleanse 

 ind heal all foul or old ulcers, fretting or spreading can- 

 kers or the like. Fluellein is a vulnerary plant, and ac* 

 x>unted good for fluxes and hemorrhages of all sorts. 



FOX-GLOVE.— ('Z>i^a/u Purpurea,) 



Leecrip. — It has many long and broad leaves, Ijring 

 opon the ground, dented upon the edges, a little soft or 

 woolly, and of a hoary green colour, among which rise up 

 sometime sundry stalks, but one very often, bearing such 

 leaves thereon from the bottom to the middle, from 

 whence to the top it is stored with large and long hollow 

 raddish purple flowers, a little more long at the lower edge, 

 with some white spots within them, one above another,
