VIII. The flash lies , Specification , Preparations , 
Virtues aniOfes are the fame (as Authors think), 
with the Common Hemlock in Chap. a;;, aforegoing, 
but of this I confefs I very much doubt, (being th. te 
are cold in the fourth degree, and thele on the con- 
trary are hot, at lealt in the fecond degiee, and ar>- 
matick, as the hot and fpicy tafte of the Seed teems 
to indicate , however, fince Authors have laid nothing 
in particular of the matter, nor we have had any ex- 
perience of our own concerning the (ame, we Hull 
ceafe any farther declaration thereof.
