A Confcrueor fyrrupmadeof the Muske rofe.in manner as before told in the Damaske and red 
rofes,doth purge very mightily waterifh humors, yet fafely, and without all danger, taken in the 
quantitie of an ounce in weight. 
B The ieaues of the floures eaten in the morning, in manner of a fallad,with oile,vineger and pep- 
per, or any other way according to the appetite and pleafure of them that fhalleatit, purge very 
notably the belly of waterifh and cliolericke humors, and that mightily, yet without all perilloi

they do delire many ftooles,or fiegcs.tbey are to eat the greater quantity of the Ieaues. if fewer, the 
leffe quantin’ e ; as for exampleithc Ieaues of twelue or foureteene floures giue fix or eight ftooles, 
and fo increafing or diminifliing the quantitie, more or fewer, as my felfe haue often proued.

that may be diuifed, not only tolimne or wafh piftures and Imageriein books, but alfo to colour 
meates and fauces, which no'twithftanding the Allum is very wholfome.
