iV. fhe Jecond Single white Campion, is in all 
things as Roots, Leaves, Stalks, an. I ['lowers, like to 
the fornier, faving only the color oj the blowers, 
that being of a Red Crimfon color, this of a pure 
White. 
V. The third fort of Single Campions arc like 
unto the former alfn, thefe other forts having no 
other difference to diftinguifh them by, but the colors 
(j the blowers, which arc of a pale or bleak whitifh 
b/ujh color, cine fly about the brims or edges of the 
Leaves, or as if a very little Red xvm mixed with a 
great deal of White , the middle of the Flower being 
more White ■, the one being /potted all truer the Flow- 
er, with J, 'mall J 'pots and freaks, the other not having 
any f pot at all. 
VI. The fourth, or Double red Rofe Campion, 
is in all ref pelts like unto the Single red Rofe Cam- 
pion, excepting that this bears Double Flowers, con - 
fif ing of two or three Rows or Courfes of Leaves at 
mof , not fo latge as the Single. The whole Riant 
is more tender, and therefore more apt to die or pe- 
ril}] than the Single is. 
VII. The Places. They are only nurs’d up with us 
in Gardens : both Single and Double are only by Na- 
ture not Art : and the Double, ones have been found 
lb Wild : for I could never obferve^ that any Art 
or Induftry of Man could ever fo alter the proper- 
ties of Nature, tho’ by never fo many repetitions 
oh Tranfplantations, and Obfervation of the Phafes 
of the Moon -, as to make any Flower Single by 
Nature, to become Double, tho 1 many Men have af- 
firmed the fame ^ and of this Opinion was Parkin- 
Jbn, who fays. That whatfoever has been found Wild 
to be Double, Nature it felf, and not Art, fo pro- 
duced it, and fo was brought into Gardens, where 
they are much encreafed by flipping, and parting 
the Root, becaufe they give no Seed. 
VIII. The Times. They do all of them flower in 
the Summer Months, through May, June and July, 
to the end of Auguf. 
IX. The Qualities. The Seed, which is chiefly 
ufed, is hot and dry in the fecond Degree. It is 
Vulnerary, Alterative, and Alexipharmick. 
X. The Specification. It is peculiar againft the 
Poifon of Scorpions. 
XI. The Preparations. There are but few Prepa- 
rations of this Plant $ the chief things taken from 
it are the Leaf, and the Seed : of which there are 
ufed, i. The Green Leaf i. The Ponder oj the 
Seed. 3. The Spirituous TinUure. 4. The Acid 
TinUure. 
The Virtues . 
XII. The Green Leaves. Being applied whole, 
or beaten in a Mortar into a Cataplafm, with a lit- 
tle Hogs Lard and Turpentine, and applied to any 
old or foul Ulcers in the Legs, Arms, or other parts 9 
it does cleanfe and heal them. 
XIII. The Pouder of the Seed. Galen affirms it 
to be hot and dry in the fecond or third Degree. 
And Diofcorides fays, that being drunk in Wine, it 
helps thole who are flung by a Scorpion •, ani fo it 
is alfo thought to be good againft the malignity of 
the Plague or Peftilence. Dole one dram at a time, 
Morning and Evening. 
XIV. The Spirituous TinUure. It has the former 
Virtues, but more powerful . againft the Plague or 
Peftilence, the Spotted Fever, bitings of Serpents, 
Mad Dogs, or other Venomous Creatures. Dofe 
half a fpoonful, or a lpoonful, in a Glafs of W ine, 
Morning and Evening. 
XV. The Acid TinUure. It has the Virtues of 
the former, is more Stomatick, and more powerful- 
ly refills the Malignity or Poifon of the Plague, it 
deftroying that, and the Fever together. Dolefixty 
or eighty drops, or more, in generous Canary.
