The Place lubTime. 
This was formetlv taken to be a fotraine plant, the teedc being to be had in the Apothecaries thoppes onely in 
but afterwards divers found it wildc with them, as Gefuer <» hor,„l heweth, and we have done the like 
with us growing neete hedges by tno.il ditches a toft every where, and flowteth in My, the feede being ripe 
^L^-caheth it in Greeke Jl»', and fo doth Galen & S,m» a fo.but Hipocrates Simo»,mdPH»J doth the 
lik? fo tha to be both but one plant, as On<* alio doth acknowledge: Trtp. Gefaer, and other 
Wr.ters doe tell,He. that the leede hereof was called in the Apotheca ,es (hoppes of their eountrey,^- 
i,. m and ulcJ in the head thereof, fo g-cat 'gnorance was ipread over the face of the world for many yeates, that 
not o’nclv the knowledge of herbes, but of good literature was in a manner bn led, or a lead neglecfted and loft .

knowne to be the true Siftm, and called fo by Teague Camerariow and L«gdmettji <, he would make it to be Ma- 
cedo uan Parfley .but furely this cannot be referred to any of the Sehmtm, the compofure thereof, as wcllas other

s The Vertucs. 
The oro perties given to Sifin arc all found to be effeftuall in this plant,that it is good againft the dilealcs of the 
fpleene and ftitchts in the Hides againft the ftrangury and difficulty of making water, and womens courfes when 
they are (topped : it like wife helpeth digeftion, and is therefore ufed as Pepper in broths, meates, and fawces.
