•[[ The Names, 
The Greekes cal! Muftard, •*«» = the Athenians called it t the Latines, Sinapi , the rude and 
barbarous, Smapium : the Gemianes, gutlif: the French, Semite and Mouftardc : the low- Durch 
men 3@0ftactt fact: the Spaniards, and sMoftalU : the Bohemians Horace Flint calls 
it T Bla/pi , whereofdoubtlelfe it is a kinde : and fo ne haue called it Saurian. ’ J 
t Thcfe kindes of Muftard haue beene fo briefely treated of by all Writers that it is hard to 
giue the right diftinftions of them, and a matter of more difficulty than is expeded in a thine fo 
vulgarly knowne and vfed: I mil therefore endeauour in a few words to diftinguilffi thofe kindes 
of muftard which are vulgarly written of. & 
of L oh t/ hC filft * S of and Dodonaus , and Sinapi fativum Eruca nut Rapi folio 
2 The fecond I cannot iuftlyreferre to any of thofe which are written of by Authours- for it 
hath not a cod like Rape, as Pena and Lohel deferibe it ; nor a feed bigger than it, as DodorixM affir- 
meth ; yet I lufpe<ft, and almoft dare affirme that it is the fame with the former mentioned b v 
them, though much differing from their figures and defeription. ^ 
j The third (which alfo I ftifped is the fame with the fourth) is Sinapi alterum of CMatthiolus 
and Sinapi agrcfle Apij autpotim Laucris folio, oi Lohel: and Sinapi fativum alterum of Dodoruus.
