The Place and Time. 
Thefe forts of Parfley grow in the feverall countries of Germany France ,Spatne, Italy, Sec. and divers of them 
in our owne Land likewife; and particularly the fife was found in Ltnclnejhire, on the North defeent of the 
Nonh field of frttbam nigh to Bourne ■ and doe all, have the laft, flower and feede realonable well, but that worft, 
asIfS!d ' The Name,. 
It is called in Grceke J^lc, and Cancalia alfo in Latine, either of th zhemilfmcaU feede, or from the noife 
that the feede will make when it is dry, being token wkh the winds, or from narrow moutheu pots, fuch as the 
feed's like,that make a noife at the powring of the liquor out of them: thetoll here expreft is the Cancale, alhnfi 
Sw of Label, the Lappa agrejli, of Tragua, the Lappa/a CamnaPUmj of Angara, the Cancalta oMa tu&r * and 
Myrrhie Lap a DaleZmpi, of Lngdunenfi, the Caucali, of Dcdonaua Gefner, and others and t K Scheuyhor*

as may fo“one be perceived, if they be but compared,and are both growing wildin our own land : the tenth is alfo 
the Qaucoide, minor of Cord.m in bijtoria , and of Thalia,: the eleventh is the Caucau r of Angenlara, as Label hath

oiveth no other proper* belonging to it than to provoke urine, but our later Writers have found outandpub- 
fitod divers others, as Matthiala, who faith it is comfortable to the heart, and hclpeth the obllruftions of the 
liver and lpleenc, clenleththe raines and kidneyes, oftheflegmeandmter, gravel! and the (lone which mgen- 
dereth in them, if the juyee thereof be taken • the feede being drunke (harpeneth the eye-fight and procure* 
womens conrfes: it is like wife given to men with Miltwafl, and the feede of W*? ^ *e rU nn,ng of 
the raines: it alfo caufeth fruiffulneffe in barren women, being drunke in wine, sndhelpeth the b,tings of the 
Tri'on f we underhand it to be the Thornebacke) the Draco marinas, which is called a Quaker, and the fea 
Scorpion being applied to the wound; if the whole herbe be taken with v.neger after a vomit, it purge* the belly 
and tore* up a fainting appetite, taking away the evill of loathing ones meate : all the.par ts of the herbe as 
well feede as juyee, or decoftion being taken, is hclpfull to melanchol.cke perfons, and therefore is good to be 
given againlt a quartaine ague, and the itch and lcabbes, as alfo tor tne great Irencb difeafe.

pertame to tha* ^enas or kinde : and firfl to beginne with the Apium hortenfc, which by an uluail received opinion 
is our Petrofelmum ,Garden Parfley, whereof I toll fay more in its due place. 
I. Petrojolinum vulgare. Common Garden Pauley. 
Common Garden Pa‘ (ley is well knowne to have many ftalkes of frelh grecne leaves devided into fundry parts, 
firfl, into thr c carts or leaves, and then each of them into three, iarrewhat round and finely (mptabouc 
the edcee • the (lalke rife* much higher in fome places than in others, according to the (oile wherein it groweth 
with divers fmaller leaves at the joynts, and flill finer cut, and long like Fennell at the toppe, that one would not 
thinke them to be the leaves of Parfley ; the flowers are white growing m umbells, and the feede (mall and of a 
hot and fharpe tafle ■ the rootc is white and long, with fomewhat a rugged barke penfhing after feede time, and 
aromaticaUas the herbe is alfo and very pleafanttci the tafle andftomacke. 
3 . petrofelinumcrifpttm, Curl d Parfley. 
The curl’d Parfley differeth not in any thing from the former but in the leaves, which although they grow af¬ 
ter the fame manner, yet they are finely curled, or crifped, or folded in on toe edges, feemmg like a Ruffe or 
the like. . . . . . _ 
2 Vetrofclintim majta jive Virgmutnum. Virginia Parfley. 
Virainia PaiOcy o V owcth after the very fame manner that the Garden Parlley doth,but larger, having greater 
(hikes of leaves, let by three and three as in the former but much larger, even as large as Stallage, 3n< J “ a P^ 
ler or yellower greene colour, the ftalkes, flowers, and feede are alike, bur flill larger, the feede bcm = twife, tf 
not thrileas biggeas the common, the roote is greater and (hotter, but pcnlheth like it. 
4. Pepofelinum Creticum. Candy (tone Parfley. 
This Pa. (ley ol C- nfi is very like to the ordinary parfley, but letter in every part, having leaves made and cut 
into fuch like divifions, but leffer and fomewhat thicker, theftalke is like, but (hotter than Patfley, bearing tufts 
of w hite flowers, after which follow fmaller feede than that of Patfley, but blacker ; the roote is alway es fin^h
