we muft not be deceiued, taking mountaine Parfley to be that which groweth on roekcs : for rockc- 
Parflcy is another plant, of tome it is called, Ueclguttfl t in Latino, t Multikona, (in Englifh, much 
goad: ) for it is fo named becaufeit is good, and profitable for many things .-and tins is not alto- 
gether vnproperly termed Orcofelinum, or mountaine Parfley ; for it groweth as we bane laid on 
mountaincs,and is notvnlikc to done Parfley : the feed is not like to that of Cumin, for jfit were 
fo-.vvho would deny it to be Oreofclimm, or Diofcondes, his mountaine Parfley.
