. ta ^ e 0 ^ t ^ ie two is as I laid before unpleafant as that of the Poppies, and therefore of a temperature 
inclining to the propertie ofPoppie, whereunto Diofcorides and Galen make Hypecoum to be like, there hath not 
beeneany further experience made ofeither of the formerplants, and therefore I can relate no more unto you of 
them : the laft if it be the right wild Cumin of Diofcerides, as by Bellonius his relation here before fet downeit 
may very well be, the feede is efte&uall againft the windineffe, either of the ftomacke, or of the belly and 
bowells, which bringeth tormenting paines and fwellings with it, being taken in wine, and expelleth the poyfon 
ofany venemous beaftes : it is good for moift flomackes,that are troubled with raw crude humors : taken with 
vinegar, it ftayeth the hickocke ; and if it be applied with hony and rayfins to the face, or any other place that is 
blackeorblewby ftroakesand beatings, it will quickely take them away,and applied in the fame manner to the 
cods when they are fwollen, allay cth the fwelling and taketh away the painc.
