Dill. 
D ill dothmuch growcwilde, but becaufein many places it cannot be had, it is 
therefore fowne in Gardens for the vfes whereunto it ferueth. It is a fmaller 
herbe then Pencil, but very like, hauing fine cut leaues, nor fo large , but flior- 
ter, fmaller, and ofaftronger and quicker tafte: the ftalke is fmaller alfo, and with 
fewioyntsand leaues on them , bearing fpoakic tufts ofyellow flowers, which turne 
into thinne, fmall, and flat feedes; the roote perifheth eucry yearc , and rifethagaine 
for the moft part of it o wne fowing. 
The Vfe of Dill. 
The leaues of Dill are much vfed in fomc places with Fifli , as they doe 
Fenell j but becaufc it is fo ftrong many doe refufe it. 
It is alfo put among pickled Cowcumbers , wherewith it doth very well 
agree, gluing vnto the cold fruit a pretty fpicic tafte or rellifb. 
It being ftrongerthen Fenell, is of the more force to expell winde in the 
body. Some vie co eate the feed to ftay the Hickocke.

full vnto many. 
The common Cheruill is a fmall herbe, with flcnder leaues, finely cut into long

to feede, both ftalkes and leaues become of a darke red colour : the flowers are white,
