I The Virtues. 
I This Croffewort is of a binding and drying propertie, and is accounted as lingular a good wound herbe al- 
I mod as any, and is ufed inwardly not onelyto ftav bleeding of wounds, but to conlolidatate them, as it doth 
rt outwardly any greene wounds, forby doling the lippes ofche wound together it is quickly healed, Cameranm 
rf faith ithelpeth to expeftorate flegme out of the cheil, and is good fortheobHruftions in the bred or llomacke s 
j or in the bowells,or miferaicke veines,and helpeth a decayed appetite,to ufe the decodtion of the herbe in wines 
the fame will ferve alio to wadi or bathe any wound, or running moyfi: fore, to clenfe and heale it, the herbe 
I bruifed and then boyled and applyed outwardly for certaine dayes together, renewing it often, and in the 
smeane time, the decoftion of the herbe in wine taken inwardly every day, doth certainely care the Rupture 
t in any,fo as it be not too inveterate, but very fpeedily if it be frelli and lately taken.

Aparine. Goofe graffe,or Clevcrs, 
He bet be that is ufually called Goofe graffe orClcvers, is of two forts, one which is rough.which is 
knownetoall; the other not rough at all, whichisnotfowellTcnowneoroblervcd by many, of 
which there are fome varieties which I Ihall entreat of in this Chapter, but of a greater kin 
: a wilds 
*. sparine f^ulgaru. Common Clevcrs. 
- : -- - Chapter, but of a greater kind* 
whereof Gerard maketh mention, we know not of, but are fure his figure exhibited, is of 5 
Borrage, which Lobel calleth Alyfittm Cjcrmanicum Echioides , as Banhinm alfo tedifieth. 
i. tAparine vulgaris. Common Clcvcrs. 
The common Clevershath divers very rough fquare.ftalks,. 
lot fo bigge as the tagge of a point, but riling up to bee two 
>r three yards high fometimes.ifit meetewith any tallbu- 
hes or trees, whereon it may clime (yet without any claf- 
len) or clfe much lower or lying upon the ground full of 
oynts, andatevery ofthem Ihootethforth a branch befide 
he leaves thereat, which are ufually fix, fet in around com- 
>a(Te like a Starre, or the Rowell of a Sp.urre.frotn bet wcene 
he leaves at the joynts, towards the toppes of the branches 
ome forth very fmall white flowers, every one upon a fmall 
hreddy footelhlke, which after they are fallen, there doe 
hew two fmall round rough feedes j'oyned together like 
wo teOicles, which when they are ripe,grow hard and whi- 
ifh, having a little hole or hollowfleffe on the fide, fome- 
vhat like unto a Navel, both ftalkes, leaves and feede are fo 
oueh,that they will cleave to any thing lhall touch them, 
he roote is fmall and very threddy, lpreading much in the 
round, btitdyethevery yeare. 
2, sparine levy. Smooth Goofe graffe. 
Thefmooth Goofe graffe groweth like the former, but 
hat it neither growethfo high, nor are the leaves fo great, 
nd not at all rough, or flicking to what it toucheth : the 
towers are as fmall and .white as the former, and give fuch 
ike feede, butfmooth alfo, and not rough as the former, 
rherc is another little differing from this in any other nota- 
ile thing,but the feede which is rough like unto a Coriander 
Comfit, 
5. Jlparine floribiw purptireis. Purple floured Clevers, 
This kinde of Clevers is in all things like unto the former 
ort, except the colour of the flower, which in this is pur- 
>lc,as in the other it is white. 
The Tlcice . 
The former fort groweth by the hedge and ditch fides in 
lany places of the Land, and every where alfo in Gardens, 
/here it is a weede of much labour to weede out, for it will 
impe upon every thing groweth next unto it, and be ready 
:> choake and fpoyle it, fhedding the feede if it be (ufferea ■ 
f both forts. The fecond was brought me out oiSpamey but the laft is as great a ttranger. 
The Time. 
Thefe doe (lower in lune and Inly, and the feede is ripe and falleth againe by the end of Inly, or in' AuguB, not 
flinging any more from the rootes, but from the [haken feede.
