The Names. 
The Gieekescallit ;-fvV and CMufcus marinue in Latine,yet fome promifcuoufly call thefe Fucue mad 
rinsu ,as well as CMufcue, but Diofcaridei didinguifheth betweene them,entreating of them in two fundry Chap¬ 
ters,and although Pliny be incondant herein, making Mode fometimesan herbe, fometimesa (brubbe.and fome- 
rimes confounding both Mufcsee and Fucm together. The firfl of both forts is mentioned by Antonio Vcnati, j n 
bis herbationof the lie of Leo of the Venetians , and is alfo the CMufcus marinue of® iofeorsdes, according to Con . 
ftantmm fus more exaft conlideration.as Lugdunenfis doth relate it, and the Fucus capillaceo folia of Theophrajlus s 
as it is thought. The fecond is Clufiue his Mufcue marinue, which hj received from Imperatue of Naples find fenc 
by the name of Palmula marina , but nothing agreeing with that of Theophraflue, The third is the Fucus five AL 
ga tinSlaria of Lugdunenfis. The fourth is tire Mufciee marintee vireni, which Cafalpir.su calleth Mufcue marines 
berhaccsu mcllior. The fifth the Fucus Ferulaceue of Libel, The fixtb is his Fucus marinsee folijs eeAbrotansma. 
fit,whom Lugdunenfis followeth, calling it Mufcsu marinas folijs Abrstani. The leventh and thelall ate fo called

much eafe to thofe are troubled with the hot Gout,they have an efpcciall property in drying,thickning,& cooling,
