2 There is likewife another fort afjta- 
thyllisot Sea Ground Pine, but in truth no- 
thing els than a kinde of Sea Chickevveed, 
hauing fmall branches trailing vpon the 
ground of two hands high ■ whereupon do 
grow little leaucs like thofe of Chickiveed, 
not vnlike thofe of LcnticnUmarina, or Sea 
Lentils : on the top of the (talks (land m i. 
ny finall moflieflouresof'a white colour. 
The whole plant is of a bitter and falriiTi 
tafte. t This is the Marina incana AnthyUn 
A l fine folia Narbomnfutm of Lobel : it is the 
Paronychia altera of Matthiolui. ^ 
t 3 To this figure (which formerly 
was giuen for the firft of thefe by our A u- 
thour) I will now giue you a briefe deferip- 
tion.This in the branches, leaues, and whole 
face thereof is very like the French Herbe- 
Iuie, or Ground Pine, but that it is much 
Ielfe in all the parts thereof, but chiefely in 
the leaues which alfo are not fnipt like 
thofe ofthe French Ground Pine,but fharp 
pointed : the tops ofthe branches are dow- 
nie or woolly, and fet with little pale yel- 
low floures. $ 
The Place. 
Thefedogrow in the South Ides belon- 
ging to England, efpecially in Portland in 
the grandly and Tandy foords, which lie loiv 
andagainftthefea ; and likewife in theifle 
of Shepey neere the water fide. ^ I haue 
onely found the firft deferibed, and that 
both in Shepey, as alfo in Weft-gate bay by Margate in the Ifle of ThanetT 
i The Time. 
They floure and flourish in June and Iuly. 
TheNa mcs. ' 
Their titles and deferiptions fufficiently fet forth their feuerall names. 
f The Temperature. 
Thelefea herbes are of a temperate facultie betweene hot and cold. 
The Virtues. 
Halfean ounce ofthe dried leaues drunke, preuaileth greatly againft the hot pifle,the ftrangu- 
rie,or difficultie of making water,and pnrgeth the reines . 
The fame taken with Oxymell or honied water is good for the falling ficknefle, giuen firft at B 
morning, and laft at night. 
There wis formerly three do'criptitfis, vet bur one figure in chipter 4 and thic was marked wish the figure i. and called AmhjfJU lextifotij, but vnfitrly:

The Kwdcs. 
I THHe firft is a very (lender plant bailing a fewe fmall leaues like the leaft Chickweede, : 
* growing in little tufts,trom the midft whereof rifeth vp a fmallftalke, three or foure in- 
ches long ; on whole top do grow very littlewhite flourespvhich being paft, there come in place 
fmall flat pouches compofed of three fihnespvhich being ripe,the two outfides fall away .leaning 
the middle part (landing long time afterwhich is like white Sattin,as is that ofPolbonacpvluch our 
women call white Sattin,but much fmaller : the tafte is fomevvhat fharpe. 
n This londeof Paronychia, hath fmall thicke and fit leaues, cut into three or more diuifions,' 
much idem'.) ling the leaues of Rue, but a great deale final let. The (talks are like the former,& 1 1 -
