The Descriptions. 
IV. The firft , or Common White Lilly. It 1ms 
a cloved fcaly Root , larger and yellower than any of 
the Red Lillies. The Stalk is of a blackilh green 
Color, tall, and rifes as high as mold of the Lillies, 
having many fair, broad, and long green Leaves 
thereon, larger and longer beneath, and fmaller up- 
on the Stalk upwards : the Flowers are many or 
few, according to the Age of the Plant, Fertility of 
the Soil, 1 and Time of Handing where it grows : 
tha| Hand upon long green Foot [talks, < 
white Color, with a long Pointel in the middle, 
and white Chives,, tipt with yellow Pendents about 
it. ^ The Smell is very pleafant and fweet. 
V. The fccond , or Double White Lilly. It is in 
all things like the before deferibed lyhite Lilly, lire 
Homers only excepted , which in this are iJ'ual/y.fSve 
or fix on one Stalk, and a/l of them con ft ant ly double, 
confilting of many fmall, long, white Leaves, which 
grow on their Foot-ltalks, one above another, form- 
ing a double flower : their Leaves ate long, green 
before they open, and afterwards turn white-,, but 
unlefs the Seafon is very fair, they never ojitn at 
all. This is efteemed for the Rarity of the double 
Flowers, more than for any Beauty which is in 
them. 
VI. The third, or Confiunrinople White Lilly. 
This other White Lilly differs but little from the 
' fir ft of thefe, either in Root, Leaf or flower ; laving 
only that this grows with a greater number of Flow- 
ers than ever was leen in the Common White' Lilly : 
the Stalk of this Lilly many times turns fiat, of the 
Breadth of an Hand, bearing fometimes near two 
hundred Flowers upon an Head ; but molt common- 
ly it bears not above a dozen or twenty Flowers,, 
which are fmaller than the ordinary, as the green 
Leaves alfo are. 
VII. The Places. They all grow in Gardens with 
us : but the third was lent hither firft from Cort- 
htantinople, and they ttourilh here as well as in the 
places of their natural Growth. 
V III. The Times. They flower in June and Ju- 
ly ; but fhoot forth green Leaves in Autumn , which 
abide green all the Winter, the Stalk fpiinging up 
between the lower Leaves in the Spring. 
IX. The Qualities. ’Tis the Roots of Lillies 
which are chiefly ufed ; but both Roots and Flow- 
ers are hot and moilf in the firft Degree, Emollient, 
Suppurative, and Alexipharmick. 
X. The Specification. It is of great Ufe to ripen 
and digelt Tumors and break Apoltems, refills the 
Plague or Peltilence, and prevails againft the 
Dropfy. 
XL The Preparations. You may have there- 
from, t. A liquid Juice of the Root. 2. Bread made 
with the Juice. 3. A Cataplajm of the Roots with 
Honey. 4. A Cataplajm of the Roots with Henbane 
Leaves. ;. A Cataplajm of the Roots rafted or boil- 
ed. 6. A Decoition of the Leaves in Red Wine. 7. 
A Cataplajm of the Leaves boiled. 8. An Oil of the 
Plomers by Infolation. 9. A diftilled Water of the' 
flowers. 
The Virtues. 
XII. The liquid Juice of the Root. If it is Ramp- 
ed and ftrained out with Wine, ( for it is of too 
(limy a Subftance of it felf) and given to drink for 
fome few Days together, it expels the Poyfon and 
Malignity of the Plague or Peltilence, and caufes it 
to break forth into Blifters on the outward parts of 
the Skin, as has been found by Experience. 
XIII. The Bread made with the Juice. Take 
Barly-f lower , and wit 1)^ Juice of White Lilly Roots, 
make it into Pafte or Dough, of which make Cakes, 
and bake them. The Bread ordinarily eaten (as Gf- 
rard fays ) for fix Weeks or fome Months together 
with Meat, ( abftaining from all other Meat the 
mean while ) does cure the Dropty ; and that it 
had cured many of that Difeafe. 
XIV. The Cataplajm of the Roots with Honey. 
The Roots being beaten in a Mortar with Honey,
