CCCCXX. The Tulip whofe Cup is leaft Con- 
vex, is preterrable to that which is very much Con- 
vex * a flat Form is faid to he more Beautirul than 
a (harp the bottom being alfo proportion d to the 
top : lor the bottom is much taken notice or, be- 
cause the Stripes or Scrakes which arife from it, 
are generally of the finelt colors. 
CCCCXX I If its Form and Green is of a mid- 
Hr g bigriefs, has a reqmfite larg«neis, and the green 
appears a little frizzled, or accompanied withfmall 
Streaks* if its color or colors are Luftrous, and 
appear like Sattin, or of a Flame colored Red up- 
on a White Ground * or is of divers colors with 
Shadings, or yellow ltriped with grey * fuch as 
thefe are elteemed, and accounted ol the better 
kinds-, and fo much the more, it the color is not 
contufedly blended, but its Stripes are well fepara- 
ted, looking agreeable to the Eye. 
CCCCXX 11 . The color of the chives are nor 
much material, in refpeft to its Beauty but a good 
Tulip ought to have its Thrums of a brown color, 
and not yellow 1 . And tho’ it may appear Fne at its 
fuff Opening, you ought to fufpend yout Judgment 
concern’: g the fame, astoits Goodnefs and Value, 
till : or 3 days be palt, before you can rightly make 
an Eftimation : Bur this is certain, that in a well 
form'd Tulip , the thre< inner Leaves ought to be 
la * : ,_r than the tin uiward : And that when it 
opens, it it be with its Leaves turn d either inwards 
or outwards, or that its Leaves aie too fmall or 
thin, it is of no account or value at all. 
CCCCXXJII. The Qualities. They are tempe- 
ra i in refpefct to heat or cold, drinels or moifture^ 
but at moft are oniy moift in the beginning ol 
the full degree , Aperitive, Stomatick, Chyliflck,

this is. that Satynon (the Root which is only uied,) 
is good againlf that fort of Convulfion called the 
Opiflhotonos, (fupinus rapuis , in which all the 
p-uts of the Body are ConttaSed, Bended, or 
Convulfed backwards ; fee my Praxis Medica, 
lib 2. cap. 3. fed. 2. ) to increafeSeed, and pow- 
erfully to provoke Lull, and that both in Men and 
Women : And if fo, it follows of confequence, 
that it muft reftore in Confumptions; for that the 
Seed is made of the belt and molt Spirituous, and 
Saline parts of the Blood, and Blood being the 
Progenerator of Flelh, it is reafonable to conclude, 
that iince it largely produces Seed, it muft as large - 
ly generate Blood, which is that only by which 
pined and wafted Bodies are again Nourilhed, and 
reftored to their Priftine State of Health. Bodxus

CCCCXX V. The Preparations As the Root is 
the only patt of the Tulip, which is of any ap- 
proved Phyfical ufe, fo therefrom you may have, 
1. A Liquid Juice. 2. A DecoOwn tn Milk, Canary, 
or Water. 3. A Confcrve. 4. Sanguis Satyrio: s, 
or the Blood thereof, according to Quercetan, ab Heers 
and Schroder. 5. The Compound Lxtratf. 
The Virtues. 
CCCCXXVI. The Liquid Juice. It may be 
clarilied with Whites of Eggs, or ufed limply of 
it felt, being immediately extracted ; Dofe from 
one Ounce to three, mixe with a (dials ot Canary 
every Morning falling, and every Night going to 
Bed. It corrobrates the Womb, and Inftruments 
of Generation, increafes Seed, provokes Lull, and 
is faid to caufe Fruitfulnefs in both Sexes, and 
cure Imporency in Men. 
CCCCXXVII. The Veccihon in Milk,or Canary, 
or in Water. 1 1 has all the former Virtues, but is much 
weaker ; if it is made in Water, it ought to be gi- 
ven mixed with an equal quantity of generous 
Wine, and fo taken Morning and Night, to half 
a Pint of the Decoction or more. 
CCCCXXVII 1 . The Conferve. The Root is 
boiled or baked fofr, then beaten up with Sugar. 
It is of the fame purport, Nourilhes much, is Ke- 
ftorative, and is profitable for the Cure of a Phthifis, 
or Ulceration of the Lungs, and a Pining Con- 
fumption. Dole as much as a large Walnut , 
Morning, Noon and Night, drinking after it to 
walli it down, a Glafs of Palm-Wine, or Old 
Malaga, and fometimes for change, a draught of 
Milk warm from the Cow.
