but becaufe both herbe and feede is hot and fharpe, and fo are not the Leucoia generally, I have thought it more

1 The Vermes. 
The mod of thefe forts ofMudards are hot and drie in the fourth degree, or veryneare like unto Creffes, for 
they are fharpe and quicke in tade.and are heating, rarefying, attradling and purging: It isfetdowneby fome 
authors to purge the body both upward and downewards, and that if any excecde a due propor tion it will fcoure 
unto blond,but how truly I know not in that I never heard of any to make trial! thereof in that manneriit is faid 
to procure womens courfes fo forcibly that it fuffocateth the birth:being taken inwardly it breaketh inward apo- 
I dums and ufed in gliders helpeth the Sciatica, the feede applied outwardly doth the lame. It is an efpeciall in- 
: gredient into Mithridatttm and Treakle,for it is held to be of it felfe an antidote redding poyion.vcnome and pu- 
1 trcfadlion befides the acrimony it addethtothe compofition. It is alfo availeable in many of thole caufes that 
Mndard is ufed but fomewhat weaker.

ThlaJpiVtnbellatum. VmbellifcrousTreakle-Mudard. 
N other kind of Treakle-Mndardbeare their dowers in tufts and round umbells, and not in fpikes, 
of fome whereof I have fpoken in my former booke, that is, the Thlafpi Cardie:, Candy tufts, both 
with white and purplifh flowers, as alfo a Spanifh kinds not let fortdby any before. 
I . ThlaJpiCrcticrtm albtfat umbeRatum majus , Great white Candy Mndard, 
This CV»nfi«n plant hath divers hard and fmallflalkes, bearing a few long and narrow pointed 
fmooth leaves, fet on them one above another up to the toppes, where the white flowers grow 
in broad round tufts, fomewhat larger than in that fort is expreffedinmy former booke : the feede velfels that 
follow are greater alfo with a pointed in the middle of them : the roots is fmai! and thready, and endurtth divers 
yeares not dying as the other doth. 
2. Thlajpi umbeRatum arvinfe Ibcridis folio. Variable flowred Mndard. 
The leaves hereof are fomewhat long and narrow, cut in or deepely dented about the edges,.more; than thofe of 
Candy Mudard: the flowers grow in tufts or umbells like thereunto but of mixed colours, that is white and purple 
ufiially, and fometimes wholly white, and in others yellowifh but much more rare: the feede is like the (fan. 
die kinde. 
5. Thlafpi umbcllatumCreticttmflorealbo odorato Swcece Treakle Mudard wrtha white flower. 
This white fandy Mudard is fmaller, and groweth lower than the fird, bulbing thicke with fmaller and nar¬ 
rower leaves dented oncly attheends; thedowers are white but fmaller than they, and duelling very fweete, 
after which follow fnch like powches with yellowifh feede in theni •• the roote perifheth yearely. 
Thlafpi umbeRatum Naflurtij folio Monifcliaoum . UWompeliers umbilleferotis Mudard. 
The dalkes of this Mudard are many and greater than in the other before, bearing many more jagged leaves on 
them refembling thofe of the common garden Creffes: the flowers are white in fpikie rundles or umbells at the 
toppes which give fmaller leede than the others but as fharpe as any of them. 
The Place - 
Some of thefe grow about Montpelier, and the greater number in Candy, and jut in gardens with us.
