The Names. 
Wood Sorrell or Cuckow Sorrell is called in Latine Trifolium acetofum : the Apothecaries and 
Herbarifts call it e-dlleluya, and Pants Cuculi, or Cuckowes meate,becaule either the Cuckow fee- 
deth thereon, orby reafon when it fpringeth forth and floureth the Cuckow fingeth mod, at which 
time alfo A/leluya was wont to be fung in Churches. Hieronymus Fracaforius namethit Lujula. Alex-
