The common Cheruill is much vfed of the French and Dutch people, to 
bee boyled or ftewed in a pipkin, eyther by it felfe, or with other herbes, 
whereof they make a Loblolly, and lo eate it. It is vfedasapot-herbe 
with vs. 
Sweete Cheruill, gathered while it is young, and put among other herbcS 
for a fallet, addeth a meruellous good rellilh to all the reft. Some commend 
the greenc feedes diced and put in a fallet of herbes, and eaten with vinegar 
and oyle, to comfort the cold ftomacke of the aged. The roots are vfed by 
diuers, being boyled, and after eaten with oyle and vinegar, as an excellent 
fallet for the fame purpofe. The preferued or candid rootes are of lingular 
good vfe to warme and comfort a cold flegmaticke ftomacfc, and is thought

Miltti Crifpt. French Mallowes. 
T He curld or French Mallow groweth vp with an vpright greene round ftalke, 
as high vfually as any man, whereon from all fides grow forth round whitilh 
greene leaues, curld or crumpled about the edges, like a ruffe,el fe very like vn- 
to an ordinary great Mallow leafe : the flowers grow both vpon the ftalke, and on the 
other branches that fpring from them, being fmall and white ; after which come fmall 
cafes with blacke feede like the other Mallowes : the roote perifheth when it hath 
borne feede, but abideth vfually the firft yeare, and the fecond runneth vp to flower 
and feede. 
The Vfe of French Mallowes. 
It is much vfed as a pot-herbe,efpecially when there is caufe to moue the 
belly downward, which by his flippery qualitie it doth helpe forward. It 
hath beene in times paft, and fo is to this day in fome places, vfed to be boy- 
led or ftewed, eyther by it felfe with butter, or with other herbes, andfo 
eaten.

Imtubum. SuccorieandEndiue. 
I Put both Succorie an d Endiue into one chapter and defeription, becaufe they are 
both of one kindred ; and although they differ alittle the one from the other, yet 
they agree both in this, that they are eaten eyther greene or whited, of many . 
Endiue, the fmooth as well as the curld, beareth a longer and a larger leafe then 
Succorie, and abideth but one yeare, quickely running vp to ftalke and feede, and t hen 
f jcrilheth: whereas Succorie abideth many years, and hath long and narrower leaues, 
omewhatmorccutin,ortorneontheedges : both of them haue blew flowers, and 
the feede of the fmooth or ordinary Endiue is fo like vnto the Succorie, that it is very 
hard to diftinguifh them afunder by fight; but the curld Endiue giucth blackiih and flat 
feede, very like vnto blacke Lettice feede : the rootes of the Endiue perifh, but the 
Succorie abideth .
