Sit urcin flue Thymbra. Sauorie. 
T Here are two forts of of Sauory, the one called Summer, and the other Win- 
ter Sauorie : The Summer Sauory is a fmall tender herbe, growing not aboue 
a footeand a halfe high, or thereabouts, riling vp with diuers brittle branches, 
flenderly or fparfcdly fet with fmall long leanes,foft in handling, at euery ioynt a cou- 
ple, one againft another, of a pleafant ftrong and quicke fent and tafte : the flowers are 
fmall and purplilh, growing at the toppes of the ftalkes, with two fmall long leaues at 
theioynts vnderthem: thefeede is fmall, and of a darke colour, bigger then Tymc 
feede by the halfe : the roote is wooddy, and hath many firings, perilhing euery 
yeare wholly, and muft bee new fowen againe, if any willhaueit. 
The Winter Sauorie is a fmall low bufhie herbe, very like vnto Hyffope, but nota* 
boue a foote high, with diuers fmall hard branches, and hard darke green leaues there- 
on, thicker fet together then the former by much, and as thicke as common Hyffope, 
fometimes with fourc- leaues or more at a ioynt, of a reafonable ftrong fent, yet not fo 
ftrong or quicke as the former : the flowers are of a pale purplilh colour,fet at feuerall 
diftances at the toppes of the ftalkes, with leaues atthe ioynts alfo with them, like the 
former : the roote is woody, with diuers fmall firings thereat, andabidethallthe 
winter with his grecnc leaues : it is more vfually encreafedby flipping or diuiding the 
roote, and new letting it feuerally againe in the Spring, then by fowing the feed. 
The Vfcof Sauorie. 
The Summer Sauorie is vfed in other Countryes much more then with vs 
in their ordinary diets, as condiment or fawee to their meates, fometimes of 
it felfe, and fometimes with other herbes, and fometimes ftrewed or layde 
vpon the dilhes as we doe Parfley, as alfo with beanes and peafe, rife and 
wheate ; and fometimes the dryed herbe boyled among peafe to make 
pottage. 
The Winter Sauorie is one of the (farfing) fafeting herbes as they call 
them, and fo is the Summer Sauorie alfo fometimes. This is vfed alfo in the 
fame manner that the Summer Sauorie is, fet downe before, and to the fame 
purpofes : as alfo to put into puddings, fawfages, andfuch likekindesof 
meates. Some doe viethepouderof the herbe dryed (as I fayd before of 
T yme) to mixe with grated bread, to breade their meate, be it filh or flclh,to 
giueitthe quicker rellilh. They are both effeftuall to expell windc.

HjJJifm. Hyffope. 
G Arden Hyffope is fo well knowne to all that haue beene in a Garden,that I Ihall 
but Aclum agere, to bellow any time thereon, being a fmall bulhie plant, not ri- 
ling aboue two foote high , with many branches, woody below, and render 
aboue, whereon are let at certaine diftances, fundry fmall, long and narrow grecnc 
leaues : at the toppe of euery ftalke Hand blewifh purple gaping flowers, one aboue 
another in a long fpike or care : after which followeththe feede, which is fmall and 
blackilh: therootesarecompofedof many threddy firings } the whole plant is of a 
ftrong fweetfent.
