are pafling good: but if they be reduced into a liniment and fo applied, they heale running fores 
or any {Calls whatfoever in the head: & even fo being laid alone upon theleft pap, they be hole- 
fome for fuch as are given to the fainting and trembling of the heart, and fitbject to fall into cold 
fweats : likewife being applied accordingly, they eafe the paine of the ftomack, and fuchas have 
their cies readi¢ to {tart out of their head: and to helpe the infirmities of the ears, their juice is - 
excellentto be dropped into them. The fame juice incorporat with the cerot of rofes, healeth 
the-clifts and{welling knubs in the fundament: and for the faid infirmitie,the decotion of yong 
tendrils in wine, is a prefent remedie, in cafe the place be bathed and fomented therein. The 
fame yong fpringé eaten alone by themfelves ina falad,in manner of the ténder crops and fpurts 
of the Colewort,or boiled in fome harth, groffe, and greene wine,do faften the teeth which be 
loofe and hake in the head: they ftop alaske, and reftrainean unnaturall flue or flux of bloud; 
and befides,are good in the blondie flix. Beeing dried in the fhade, and afterwards burnt, their 
athes are fingular to ftay the uvula for falling, The leaves alfo Scing dried and beaten to powder, 
are excellent good for the farcines and fores in horfes,and fuch like beafts. As for the black ber- 
ries which thefe brambles doc beare,there is akind‘of Diamoron made of them,which is far bet- 
ter for the infirmities o the mouth and more effectuall,than the other of the garden mulberries, 
The fame being fo prepared in that ftomaticall compofition aforefaid, or drunke only with Hy- 
poquiftis and hony be fingular to repreffe the furie of choller provoking both waies:they be cor- 
dial! likewife,in cafe'of faintings and cold {weats :andaftly, aprefervative againft the poifon of 
the venomous {piders. Among thofe medicines which they call Stypticke or Afttingent, there is 
nota berier thing than to boile the root of this blackberrie bramble in wine to the thirds ; and 
namely to make a collution therewith to wath the cankers or fores breeding in the mouth, orto 
foment the ulcers growing in the fandament. And verely of fuch a binding and aftringent force 
is this bramble,that che very fpongeous balls that it beareth, will grow co be ashard as ftones. 
Another kind of brier or bramble there is,upon which groweth a rofe:fome call it Cynosba- 
tos,others Cynofpaftos: it beareth a leafe like to the print or fole ofa mans foor. A little ball or 
pillit breedeth, furred or briftled much after the manner of the cheftnur, which ferveth asa fpe-
