The firft ofthe two fweet Marieromes called Maioranai n Latine a maiore 
curses taken of mod writers to be the Amaracus or Sampfuchum ofDiofco- 
rides Theophraftusar.d Plinie, although Galen doth fecmalittleto dilTenc 
therefrom. The other fweet Marierome hath his name in his title as much 
as can be faid of lt.The next is thought by the beft ofthe moderne Writers 
to be the true Marum that Galen preferrerh for the excellent fweetneffe be- 
fore the former Marierome in making the Oleum fsxvngucntum Amaricinum 
and feemeth to incline to their opinion that thought Amaracus was deriued 
from Marum. It is the fame alfo that Galen and others of the ancient Wri- 
ters make mention of, to go into the compofition of the Trochifci Hedychroi 
as well as Amaracus among the ingredients ofthe Therm* Andrcmachi In 
Englifh we call it Mafticke limply, or Herbe Maffick, both to diftinguifh it 
from that Tyme that is called Mafticke Tyme, and from the Mafticke 
Tree, or Gum, fo called. Some of later times, and Clufius with them haue 
thought this to be Diofcorides his 7 ragoriganum. which doth fomewhar re- 
fembleit : but there is another plantthat Matthiolus fetteth forth for Ma- 
rum, that in Lobels opinion and mine is the trueft Trago, wamm, and this 
the trueft Marum. a &

The fweete Marieromes are not onely much vfed to pleafe the outward 
femes in nofegayes, and in the windowes of houfes, as alfo in fweete pou- 
ders fweete bags, andfweete walhing waters, but are alfo of much vfein 
1 nyficke, both to comfort the outward members, or parts of the body,and 
the inward alfo : to prouoke vrine being flopped, and to cafe the paines 
thereof and tocaufe the feminine courfes. Herbe Mafticke.is of greater 
force to helpe the flopping of vrine, then the Marierome, and is put into 
Antidotes, as a remedie againft thepoyfon of venemous Beafts. 
Chap. CXXXI. 
Thymum. Tyme. 
T Here are many klndes of Tyme, as they are vfually called with vs , fome are 
called of the garden , and others wilde, which yetfor their fweetneffe are 
brought into gardens, as Muske Tyme, and Lemon Tyme j and fome for their 
beauty, as embroidered or gold yellowTyme, and white Tyme. Butthetrue Tyme 
ofthe ancient Writers, ailed Capitatum, asafpeciall note of diftindtion from alio- 
thcr kindes of Tyme, is very rare to be feene with vs here in England, by reafon of the 
tcndcrnefTe, that it will not abide our Winters. And all the other forts that with vs 
arecalled garden Tymes, are indeede but kindes of wilde Tyme, although in thede- 
fe& or want of the true Tyme, they are vfed in the dead of it. With the Tymes I muff 
doe as I did with the Marieromes in the Chapter before, that is, referue the moft com- 
mon in vfe, for the common vfe of the Kitchen, and fhew you only thole herc,that are 
not put to that vfe ; and firft withthctrucTyine,becaufeicisknownebuttoa few.
