or as others, Melacre am. Mol re'ctdem, or as Hipocrates,Ceeiriammcl, and others Manr.al.qnuta, or as Matthi- 
olw,Manna purgatoria: but a little to fliewyoumy minde concerning thefe forts of Manna, that as the liquid fort 
is both for fubflance and property alike, but that the European is notfo plentifully to be gathered: So i verily 
thinke that chediverfities in the other dryer, both for forme of greater or fmaller pecces, or colour of white 
bro\vne,orreddilh,israiher from thechmate and difpolitions of the Heaven to be hotter or more temperate: 
but itfeemeth to me very Orange if true, that in Calabria onely the Fraxinies or Oram fhculd fweat out Manna by 
lancing their barkes, when as in other countries both of liter,pe and Afia, iris gathered from fundry other trees 
where no fort of Afhesgrow , and rhat no Authcut mentioneth any cutting of their tarkes, tocanlethem yceld 
Manna. You hr are my opinion,whether true or falfe, I leave to them that can verife ordifprove it, by proofs, 
and true judgement. Thcpiopcrties of both thefe fortsof Manna areneere alike in purging, being of ameane 
temper, yet a little more cncliningunto heate, or as Avcrthoes faith, hot and moift, for by their gentle work/n" 
they may fafely be given to children, and women with child, and put with other purgers they helpe thtirwor’- 
king andevacuate choller: butbecaulc the grained Manna is both more frequent and more of ufe wiclnis ("the 
other being feldome feme or ufed ) I will rather infill on the properties thereof which is that belide the purgin'* 
quality, it quencheth third and doth lenifie the hoar'enclfe of the thcoate.and alhy the lliarpenelfe of chollerfantl 
the naufeous humours in theflomackc : the often life thereof for thole that are touch given co be colfiye is very 
profitable,to be cither taken alone or to be putinflead of'Sugar intobrothes, drinkes, or other tilings.
