forts, hauing alfo three feuerall names 
The firft by the ^Egyptians is called 
which is the poulder ofHemp, 
or ofHemp leaues, which water made

er after,are as if they were drunke, with* 
out fence, and as it were betides them- 
felues, thinking they fee many ft range 
fights, wherein they are much pleafed. 
This is vfed by the common people, 
becaufe it is of a fmall price,and it is no 
wonder, that fuch vertue proceeded! 
from the Hempe, for that according f o> 
Galens opinion, Hempe excefsiuely fil- 
leth the head. The fecond they name 
Sofa, which is ftronger then Afsisi It is 
made ofthe meale of Lolittm , by vs cal- 
Icd Drdnkaydes weede or Hcarbd , and 
ofHempfeede with water as aforefaid." 
others pretfe out the iitice,and eat that. 
Thethirdeis called Bermiii , which is 
the right Bangue , which they haue rea- 
die drefted out of India (z%Hughen wri- 
teth ) wherof they take about an ounce, 
& at the firft are merie, talking much & 
finging plefant fongs,laughing without 
meafure,and vfing many foolifli toyes: 
which continueth with them almoft 
an hower. After f hit they arc in a man¬ 
ner furious, giuen to chiding and figh¬ 
ting, which continueth likewife a little 
fpace, that, done they are poffefted with 
heauinefte,and a certaine kind of fear e* 
that many times they cricout. In the 
end whe they haue played al thefe parts 
they fall in a fleepe, and being awaked, 
they are as they were at the firft.This is 
much vfedby foolifli Iefters or luglers 
at feafts and banquets,to delight them. 
The iEgyptians vfe alfo an other forte 
called Ben, that is to fay, health for art 
hower . It is made of white Pepper^ 
white Bilz,en feede, of each fiue oun¬ 
ces , and of Opium two ounces and a 
halfe, Spica Nardi, Euphorbium , Ber¬ 
tram, of each one Mitchell, Saffran , 
fifteene Scruples,all beaten in a Marble 
morter,and mixed with Honnie whei- 
ofthey make a confe&ion.
