H Auingthusfurni/hcd you Out a Kitchen Garden with all fortsof herbes, roots 
& fruits fit for it, and for any mans priuate vfe, as I did at the firft appropriate 
ir ; let me a little tranfcend,and for the profit & vfe of Country Gentlewomen 
and others, furniih them with fotne few other herbes, ohhe molt efpeciall vfe for thofe 
(hall need t hem, to be planted at hand in their Gardens, to fpend as occafion /hall ferue 
and firft ot Angelica. 
Angelica hath great and long winged leaues, madeof many broadegreene ones, 
dinided one from another vpon the /talk, which is three foot long or better foin times* 
among which rife vp great thicke and hollow ftalkes with fome few ioynts, whereat 
doth alvvayes ftand two long leafics compailing the ftalke at the bottome, in fotne pla- 
ces at the ioynts fprrng out other ftalkes or branches, bearing fuch like leaues but fmal- 
ler, and at the tops very large vmbels of white flowers, that turnc intowhitilh feede 
fomewhat thicke : the roote groweth great with many branches at it, but quickly pe- 
riflteth after it hath borne feede : to preferuc the roote therefore the better, they vfe to

the young rootes being preferned or candied,’ arc very effedfuall to comfort 
and warme a colde and weake ftomacke : and in the time of infedfion is of 
excellent good vfe to preferue the fpirits and heart from infc&ion. The 
dryed roote made into pouder,and taken in wine or other drinke, will abate 
the rage of luft in young perfons ,as I haue it related vnto me vpon credit : 
A Syrupc made thereof in this manner, is very profitable to expe&oratc 
flegmeoutof the cheft and lunges, and to procure a fweete breath. Into the 
greene ftalke of Angelica as it ftandeth growing, make a great ga/he orin- 
ctfion, wherein put a quantitie of fine white Sugar,letting it there abide for 
three dayes, and after take it forth by cutting a hole at the next ioynt vnder 
the cut, where the Syrupe refteth, or cut offthe ftalke, and turne it downe, 
that the Syrupe may drayne forth • which keepe for a moft delicate me- 
dicine.
