there are divers kinds, viz. the French 

 acetocella, with a round leaf, growing 

 plentifully in the North of England), 

 the Roman oxalis, the broad German be- 

 fore-mentioned ; but the beft of all is 

 the Greenland, and fo the pradice of 

 gardiners, and the catalogues of our beft 

 feedfmen confirm. There is another 

 kind of forrel caird acetofum trtfolium^ 

 being the alleltiia, ox trifoliated wood- 

 forrel, which is of the nature of other 

 forrels, being cold, abfterfive, acid, and 

 fharpens the appetite, affwagcs heat, cools 

 the liver, ftrengthens the heart, is an 

 anti-fcorbutick, refilling putrefadion^ 

 and imparting fo grateful a quickne fs 

 amidft all other herbs, as fupplies the 

 want of orange, lemon, and other of 

 fhe omphacia, and therefore never to be 

 excluded out of boil'd or raw fallets. 

 This and fpinage being boil'd, and cut 

 with poaclid eggs, is, in my humble 

 opinion, one of the beft fupper-diflics 

 in the world. In France we are told 

 it is ufed in bullions or thin broth, as 

 their cooks do here alfo. 



All thefc kinds bear feed, which may
