The Cor ollarie to this Orchard. 
TheVfe of theLinetree. 
It is planted both to make goodly Arbours, and Summer banquetting 
houfes, either belowevpon theground, theboughes feruingvery hand- 
fomely to plaih round about it , orvp higher, forafecondaboueit, anda 
third alfo : for the more it is depre(Ted,the better it will grow. And I haue 
feeneatCobhamin Kent, a tall or great bodied Line tree, bare withont 
boughes for eight foote high, and then the branches were fpread round a- 
bout fo orderly , as if it were done by art, and brought to compaifethat 
middle Arbour : And from thofe boughes the body was bare againe for 
eight or nine foote (wherein might bee placed halfcan hundred men at the 
leaft.as there might be likewife in that vnderneath this)& then another rowe 
of branches to encompaffe a third Arbour, withflayres made for the pur- 
pofetothis and that vnderneath it : vponthe boughes were laid boards to 
tread vpon, which was the goodliefl fpetftade mine eyes euer beheld for 
one tree to carry. 
Thecoles of the woodarethe belt to make Gunpowder. Andbcin» 
kindled, and quenched in vinegar, are good to diflolue clotted bloud in 
thofe that are bruifed with a fall. The inner barke being fleeped in water 
yeeldeth a flimie iuyee, which is found by experience, to be very profitable 
for them that haue been burnt with fire. 
17. Tawar/'x.Tamarisketree. 
T He T amariske tree that is common in our country , although in fome places it 
doth not grow great, yet I haue feene it in fome other, to be as great as a great 
apple tree in the body, bearing great at rasjfrora whofc fmaller branches f pring 
forth young (lender red (hootes, fet with many very fine, finall, and (hort leaues, a lit- 
tle crifped, like vnto the leaues of Sauine,nat hard or rough, but foft and greene : the 
flowers be white moffie threads, which turne into douniefeede, that is carried away 
with the windc. 
^ There is another kinde hereof very beautifull and rare, not to be feene in this Land 
White Tasia-I thinke, but with M r . William Ward,the Kings feruant in his Granary, before remem - 
tttke. bred, who brought me a finall twigge to fee from his houfe at Boram in EfTex , whofc 
branches are all red while they are young, and alltheleaucswhite, abiding foallthc 
Summer long, without changing into any (hew of greene like the other,and foabideth 
conflant yeare after yeare, yet fhedding the leaues in Winter like the other. 
The Vfe of T amariske. 
The greatefl vfe ofTamariske is for fpleneticke difeafes.either the leaues 
or the barke made into drinkes ; or the wood madeinto finall Cans or Cups 
to drinkein. 
1 8. Acer qtdius Utifolium. The great Maple or Sycomore tree. 
T He Sycomore tree, as we vfually call (and is the greatefl kind of Maple, che- 
rifhed in our Land onely in Orchards, or elfewhere for fhadeand wu!kes,both 
here in England , and in fome other countries alfo) groweth quickly to been 
faire fpreading great tree, with many boughes and branches,whofe barke isfomewhat 
fmooth .-the leaues are very great, large, and fmooth, cut into foureorfiuediuifions, 
and ending into fo many corners, euery one flanding on a long reddifh flalke: the bloo- 
mings arc ofayellowifh greene colour, growing many together on each fide ofa lon<> 
fla'.ke, which aft er turne into long and broad winged feedc,two al waies flanding to"<> 
ther on a flalke, and bunched out in the middle, where the feed or kernell lyeth , very 
likevnto the common Maplegrowing wilde abroad, but many more together, and 
fcrger. T hc
