C Arawayes hath many very fine cut and diuided leaues lying on the ground, be- 
ing alwaies greene, fomewhat refembling the leaues of Carrots , but thinner, 
and more finely cut, ©f a quicke, hot, and fpicie tafte: the ftalke rifeth not much 
higher then the Carrot ftalke, bearing fome leaues at the ioynts along the ftalke to the 
toppe, where it brancheth into threeor foure parts , bearing fpoakie vmbels of white 
flowers, which turne into fmall blackilh feede, fmaller then Anifeede , and of a hotter

The rootes of Carawayes being boyled may be eaten as Carrots, and by 
reafonofthe fpicie tafte doth warme and comfort a cold weake ftomacke, 
helping to dtlfolue winde (whereas Carrots engender it) and to prouoke 
vrine,and is a very welcome and delightfull dilh to a great many, yet they 
are fomewhat ftronger in tafte then Parfneps. 
The feede ismuchvfed to bee put among baked fruit, or into bread, 
cakes, &c. to giue them a rellifh , andtohelpe to digeft winde in them arc 
fubied thereunto. 
It is alfo made into Comfits, and put into TragtM, or as we call them in 
Englifh, Dredges, that are taken for the cold and winde in the body, as alfo 
are ferued to the table with fruit.
