THERE is a kind of black Grape named Inerticula, as a 
man would say dull and harmless; but they that so called 
it might more justly have named it The sober Grape; 
the wine made thereof is very commendable when it is old, 
howbeit nothing hurtful, for never makes it any man 
drunk ; and this property hath it alone by itself. 
Holland's Pliny, bk. xiv. chs, ii., tii. 
Grapes may be kept the whole year. Take the meal 
of mustard-seed, and strew in the bottom of any earthen 
pot well leaded; whereupon you shall lay the fairest 
bunches of the ripest Grapes, the which you shall cover 
with more of the foresaid meal, and lay upon that another 
sort of Grapes, so doing until the pot be full. Then shall 
you fill up the pot to the brim with a kind of sweet wine 
called must. The pot being very close covered shall be 
set into some cellar or other cold place. The Grapes you 
may take forth at your pleasure, washing them with fair 
water from the powder.

Grass. 
Grass cometh of the green, and is pleasing in sight, and 
liking to beasts in pasture and meat, and ‘comforteth the 
sick in doing, for as in roots so in herbs and Grass be 
many manner virtues. Herbs and Grass love stern weather, 
rain and great showers, for heat and colour of herbs need 
much moisture. Hounds know this herb, and eat it to 
purge themselves, but they do it so privily, that unneath 
‘men may spy it. Bartholomew (Berthelet), bk. xvii. § 76.
