Sxcrejfentin Q uercuum. The Excreflences ofthefe Okes. 
Here a-c a great many things that bre.'de upon fundry of thcfeOkes, fume of one faftrionfome of an- 
■ other, and (o in fubfhnce likewife, (oft or hard, befides the Oke Apple and the (Sail, whereof I in- 
Tfea tend to fpeakefirtl. I have given you the detcription of the tree in the Chapter lad going before this, 
—i vv iu but onely (hew you here the diverfities of the Galles, and the good ufes they are put unto for 
medicine,or other purpoies, and I cannot underhand that any of rheotler former kindes doebeate 
Galles but thofethac are here let downeby thenameof Rolmr , which is the fecond fort: foralthough divers of 
them have a fhew of Galles, which made M<v;tolay that all Ackorne bearing trees, bring Galles likewile, yet 
they are but fpungv balls for the moil part,ana none lo good and hard Galles as they. 
TheGyllcs are'oftwo forts,ftnooth,and rugged or knobbed,both of them round and bardalmolt as wood, but 
all a little hollow within. and when they are dry, are either whitifh or yellowifii, but while they are greene and 
freih upon the trees they are fomewhat foft and tender, and reddifi. towards theSunnefide : all of them (land 
clofe to the branches,andllali.es without order,and foinctimes one joyning clofe to another, without any flalke 
underthem. ThercisalfoablackeGallasbiggeas anapplc, fomerimes fullofa Roffinlike fatneffc, which

Tne Oke a", pie growethupon fundry forts of chefe trees,andnot on anyone alone, for although in our Coun¬ 
try ours are lor the moll parr round and (oft.being frefit and full ofwaterifli fubftance,but being dryed do (hrinke 
and are wrinckled.yet in ocher plates lonte are found (ticking to the backeof the leaves, and containe in them a 
clccre water and fives therein, and are while, and as ir were tranfparent before they be dry and grow hard. 
Others are called CupiSitt, becaule ilicy are all hairy, and containe within them a htny like liquor in the 
Spring time,yet rot put to any ulc. 
One 1 had out of Ifi roinU with round hard rough or prickly balls on the leaves. 
Others are called Lannu,tor that within an hard hu.ke or (hell, they containe ccrtaine flockes ofwooll, which 
are fit for Lampes.but rot without oyleor other uncluous matter as Pliny faith it will. 
Thev that m e caiied Srflilei grow under the joynts, at the fctting to of the leaves clofe to them without any 
(hike,tile nv ell being white,and a li: tic (welling forth,and fometimes of fundry colours, and (ometimesblacke, 
and (hilling red in the middle dicing hollow within, with a putride vacuity. 
They are called F*lt»crt, or fnuofx, that are made as it were of fcaly lcaves,like unto the head of the Knapweed 
that nroweth wild abroad in the fie Ides.
