oeing both larger and fweeter than any of the 
the other Corn Marigolds. After which follows 
the Seed which is whitifh and Chaffie. 
V. The third , or Spanilh Corn Marigold. The 
Stalks hereof are harder and browner than thofe of 
the firft , and ft and more upright : the Leaves are 
greener and not fo much divided or cut in on the 
edges as they are : the Flowers are not of fo (hi- 
tting a yellow color, but of fomewhat a deeper 
yellow : and the Seed is fmall and whitifh, and is 
bitter as the firft is ; tho’ the Herb is fweet and eaten 
as a Sallet Herb : and in thefe things conlilt the 
difference.

Braftlian Corn Marigold. Its Root perijhes every 
year in like manner as the others do. It is a Mari-

crefted , having leveral Leaves fet thereon , of 
four or five Inches long., and two broad , encom- 
patfing it at the bottom, and growing linaller to 
the end, fomething dented about the edges, with 
fltarp dents : from the Bofom of whom , come 
forth fomewhat long foot Stalks , fudaining each 
of them a fair yellow Flower , fet in a green 
Husk cr Cup having feven or eight Leaves for 
a Border, dented at the ends, and eucompalling a 
middle Thrum, confiding of long Threads, in 
which afterwards lies the Seed, very like unto the 
Spanijh Kind. 
VII. The Trices. The firll of thefe grows 
commonly in Corn-fields , and about their Borders, 
or where Corn has been formerly Sown, both in 
England and beyond the Sea : The others grow alfo 
in Tilled and Corn Lands in Foreign Coun- 
tries; btit with us ate Nurd up only in Gar- 
dens,

XI. The Liquid Juice , being drank By fuch 
as have the yellow Jaundice, after coming 
out of a Bath, or from Bathing, it quickly re- 
Itores them to their natural color.. 
XII. The Ba/Jam or Cerote. It is made of the 
flowers boiled in Oil to crifpnefs, then drained 
and made up with Wax, Frankihcenfe, and 
Kolm: .or, beaten up with Oil and Wax- an- 
plyed it cures that Tumor called Steatoma 
which contains in it a Subdance like Fat or 
Tallow, and diflipates other cold and hard 
Swellings.
