The hearbe is ofcen put into oyles or Calves to healegreme wounds, and it is very probable the name of Baulme, 
was given to this hearbe .from the knowledge of the healing properties of the true and naturall Baulme. It is alfo 
an hearbe wherein Bees doe much delight, both to have their Hives rubbed therewith to keepe them to°ether,and 
draw others, and for them to fuck and feed upon; and is a remedy againfi: the flinging of them. The Turkey 
Baulme is of as good effedl to all the purpofes aforefaid, as the ordinary. The Aflirian Baulme is of excellent 
vertue to expell any poifon or venome, as alfo again!! the plague or peftilence ufed inwardly and outwardly, it kil- 
leth the wormes, and helpeth the jaundife, and the paines of the Mother, for it openeth obdruflions, warmeth 
the cold parts, rarifyeth and clenfeth. Mothcrworc is held of the later Writers, to bee of much ufe for the trem¬ 
bling of the heart,and in faintings and fwounings,from whence it tooke the name Cardiac/i-.tbt powder thereof to 
the quantity of a (poonefull drunke in wine, is a wonderful! helpe to women in their fore travels, as alfo for the 
fuffocations or rifmgs of the Mother, and from thefe effects it is likely it tooke the name of Motherwort with us 
It alfo provoketh urine, and procureth the feminine courfes, clenfeth the chefl: of cold flegme opprefling it, an ' 
killcth the wormes ofthc telly. Itis ofgoodufe to warme and dry up the cold humours, to digeft and difper^ 
them that are fettled in the veines, joynts, and finewes of the body, and to helpe crampes and convulfions, &c. p

C 'MarrHbmm. Horehound. 
S Orehound is divided into twoforts by r Dwfcorides,Thofhraflus, andP&y: that is, into black Hore- 
hound,which they call Hallote, our Itinking black Horehound, and into white, which is the ordinary 
Horehound that is in ufe in our Apothecaries {hops, & with all others: but there are fome other forts 
found out,which doe well agree with them in the outward face, and peradventure in the vertues al¬ 
fo, whereof I meane to entreate in this place, referring fome of the other hearbs unto that that 
is,proper for them,where they lhall be remembred.

Common Hore-lioand. 
1. CMarmbium album vulgare. Common Horehound. 
Common Horehound groweth upwithfquare hoary (hike#* 
halfe a yard or two foot high, fet at the joynts with two round 
crumpled, or as it were rough leaves, of a fullen hoary grcenc 
colour, of a reafonable good fcent, but of a very bitter tafte, the 
flowers are fmall, white, and gaping, fee in rough hard prickly 
huskcs,round about the joynts with the leaves,from the middle of 
the flalkes upwards, wherein afterwards is found fmall round 
blackifh feed : the root is blackifla,hard and wooddy,with many 
flings thereat,which dyeth not,but abideth many yeares. 
i.MarrHbiamHiJpanicHm Candidum. White Spanifh Horehound. 
This Spanifli Horehound hath divers foure-fquare flalkes,more 
white and hoary than the ordinary Horehound, whereon are fet 
the leaves by couples,which are fomewhat longer, thicker, whi¬ 
ter, & more woolly alfo than it : & a little dented about the edges; 
the flowers grow towards the toppes of the flalkes in rundlcs, at 
the feverall joynts with the leaves, which are of a pale purplifli 
colour like the common fort, ftanding in the like rough huskes; 
the feed is blacke like it alfo, and fo are the rootes : the whole 
plant is of a ftronger and better fcent than ours. Gerard hath fee 
forth this Horehound, and is the fecond with him : but his de- 
feription doth wholly anfwerc to his fourth, which is the Hore¬ 
hound of Candy. 
3. LMarrubitim Creticunt. Sweet Candy Horehound. 
Candy Horehound hath more crooked and flendercr flalkes 
than the laft, being round and not fquarc, whereon doe grow 
fbmetimes broader, and at other times and places, fmaller, lon¬ 
ger and narrower leaves than it, for thefe are accounted but one 
kinde,more dented about the edges, fet by couples, more white 
or hoary than the former Horehounds, as the flalkes are alfo, 
which branch forth into many {lender branches, having flowers 
at fpaces like the former, but fmaller and fet in fmaller and fliar- 
per huskes,which are purplifh alfo like it; the feed is like it alfo, 
and the root bnfheth forth with many fibres; the fcent of this is 
much better than ours, and equall, if not beyond the other. 
4. tJMarrubium Creticum angnfiifolinm inodorv.m, Vnfavory Candy Horehound. 
This Candiot differeth from the laft onely in thefe particulars: it bath fliorter,narrower, and rounder pointed 
leaves than the former, and is without any good frnell. 
5. UWarrubium album villofum. French Horehound. 
This fmall Horehound rifech nocup above a foot high, with his wooddy round,white, hoary flalkes fpreading 
into divers branches, whereon are fet thick leaves in the fame manner as the former, but f maller and rounder, a 
little notched at the edges, and fo white, fmooth and woolly underneath, as no Cotton weed is more, but fome¬ 
what
